Penang Char Kuay Teow and Nasi Lemak in Cheras....another great option

Choices of reasonably tasty char kuay teow (the saucy type) in KL are limited. Among the popular one is 'Mali's Corner' at Downtown Danau Kota, Setapak. The journey from my house in Sri Permaisuri to Setapak which will crossing the city centre of KL would have killed my appetite.

The nasi lemak with fried chicked

As usual, mister know everything i.e. google search, recommended some thing near to me, Pak Teh Stall located at Taman Tenaga, Bandar Tun Razak, around 4 km from Bandar Sri Permaisuri. Without further delay, I went there and ordered TWO dishes, the famous char kuay teow and the nasi lemak with fried chicken. Did I said I ordered both, ohhhh noooo! Tasted both and, yes, the dishes can be a very good option for Mali's Corner. Although the prawn in the char kuay teow not as plenty as Mali's Corner, but it was value for money with reasonable portion. The nasi lemak sambal also taste better not too sweet and not too hot. BUT do remember this is not a fancy restaurant, the gastronomic joint is only a side road stall with plenty of seats.

The Penang Char Kuay Teow will cost you at RM4.00 (USD1.00) and the nasi lemak with fried checken at RM4.50 (USD1.10), VERY cheap.

This is my personal review on this gastronomic joint.

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero. Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA cab

Too dark...too bright....

Too dark or too bright.....this is due to poor exposure of the sensor to light. Is it a problem if my photo is too dark or too bright? May be yes and may be no, depends on what you want in your image. If the photo is too dark (underexposed), you will loss the detail of the shadow. If the photo is too bright (overexposed), you will loss the texture of the cloud and sky. Exposure is a combination of two fundamental settings: the aperture opening and the shutter speed. Aperture opening is the function in your lens and the shutter speed is the function in your camera. Optimal exposure can be achieved with many combinations of aperture opening size and the shutter speed, BUT each combination will have differences in depth of focus, motion blur and etc. How this exposure can be controlled? The answer is by having a good understanding of the combination of aperture and shutter speed. Shallow depth of focus, focus point was on the middle broccoli, focal length of 50 mm, large aperture ope

Cranberry and Raisin Scones....simply yummilicious

The scone baking project was to fulfill the weekend afternoon, and not because of the "doughnut story".....hihihi. Here I share the basic scone recipe. As I have mentioned earlier "Now everyone can bake", as such the recipe is easy to follow. Ingredients: 2 cups plain flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter 1 egg (medium) beaten with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup whole milk 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1:1 ratio of egg:milk wash Method: Pre-heat the oven to 180-200C. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (photo 2) and then follow by the egg and vanilla. Add in the milk slowly to form a firm soft dough that can be roll out. Stir until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add in the dried cranberries and raisins. Roll out the dough on floured surface to 2 cm thickness. Using a 5 cm round scone cu
