I exclaimed it in my earlier http://tummythoz.blogspot.com/2006/10/toilet-post6_116126058510834421.html post on South West China (near Chengdu ) and now I'll reiterate my statement LOUDLY. My toilet experience in China is 2 thumbs 2 big toes and 1 bum up. *slap bum for effect*And there we were. July 2009. With clothes weighed down in several coats of sweat. Popping in and out of historical

Here's a short cool filler post away from my scathing hot China backpack trip series. Come out come out wherever you are!Smooth. Translucent. Almost. Wombly. Sweet. Slightly. Fragrant.

So hot my cap was crispy outside, damp inside. Shades dripped sweat.There's only so much walkabouts in the heat that one can tolerate. When we spied this, I almost thought it a mirage. Not memorably sweet but real juicy. Pity the watermelon was not iced (better if it comes with a block of ice to sit on) but just look at that chopper. Cool huh. Where to hide, where to hide when the sun doesn't

This is a post i should've done much much earlier.... So delayed this is that since my first visit, i've actually been to this place no less than 4 to 5 times, of which i've bumped into famous people like Ah Xian and Datuk Lee Chong Wei.This place is at the Sungai Buloh new village which is just a turn away from Sri Damansara. Food is pretty good and here are some dishes we tried the first time

Toilet at The Legendary De Fa Chang Restaurant renowned for its Superior Delicious Dumplings.Not a pretty sight for such a grand named restaurant but then sadly it's usual to find most food establishments, no matter grand or otherwise, give least consideration to this 'lil room. Nevertheless, it has what it counts by appearing clean, dry and reasonably odourless.Reason for this feature? Note the

There. The figures alleged by legend to be real soldiers, buried with Emperor Qin so that they can defend him from any dangers in his afterlife. Widely pitted as the Eighth Wonder of The World.With that out of the way, back to food.One of the oldest and best restaurants within the walled city is located between 2 other historical buildings - The Drum Tower on the same row and The Clock Tower (

"Must remember to look for it.""Must remember to buy.""Must remember to find carrying space for it.""Must remember to bring."Reminders to make sure my bed space secured.Malaysians tend to travel overseas packed with local delicacies, no matter store bought or home made. More so when we plan to visit friends and relatives. Our food is just irreplaceable. =P So naturally when we decided to bunk in

Blink and oh, Hari Raya is upon us already! Oops, it just passed. BUT hey, one can smell the celebration in the air still. Yup, the lemang stalls are still around. Afterall it is still the Syawal month.So my halal post specially dedicated to celebrate my Muslim friends' grand celebration is still not too late. =PWhen in Xi'an, we frequented this area once during the day, twice on nights.Browsing

Actually, just got back from a week in bblrrrr cold Perth. But I still have posts & posts of my adoi hot China trip ..Bused into the walled Xian city from the airport. Walked to our budget hotel. It was RMB150 per night. RM75. A far cry from the published rates of RM2,000 at this palace. However credit to my friend who did the research and booking, it was everything we needed. Clean, safe and

And so at 7am in the morning after, we left the comfy pampering center by taxi to catch a transit bus to the Guangzhou International Airport.Obviously all the fuss of flying outta Guangzhou instead of the nearer Shenzhen International Airport was due to cheaper air tickets. It was a budget backpacking trip afterall. *ahem* The airport was quite impressive.We did self check-in at the machines

I know I know I've been neglecting you. Again. But you know I'm telling you the truth when I say you are my one and only. Yes yes I did think of committing to another before but it was just a frivolous thot for a time. A long time ago. I may not be consistent but I'm quite persistent. Persistently trying to surprise you and get you the attention you craves. So please forgive me. Again. Thank you,

After 17 hours in Macau, we ferried to Hongkong then trained up to Shenzhen. My 2 weeks backpacking trip around China begins.We have been to this grey skied metropolis before and since we had only a night to spare, we ate and stayed at the same places as our previous trip (not blogged about) to save time.Arriving with growling tummies screaming for dinner, (more like supper since it was almost

We spent only 17 hours in Macau. Since most meals are taken care of (ahem, as mentioned previously ) in THE world famous Pork Chop Bun. Ordered 2 buns to share between the 4 of us. This was my share. The other half had been promptly gobbled up. Good portion for a yummy snack.Call me old fashion but I just prefer gassy soft drinks in glass bottles. Anyone knows why it's usually cans in Malaysia

2 toilet posts in a row. All for the love and popular demand of my avid followers (croaking like a steriod pumped up bullfrog). Never knew there are so many washrooms enthusiasts amongst us.By the way did anyone catch the logo of the snowsoft (38% exaggeration) bedroom slippers in my last post?Okay okay it's pretty obvious I just want to gloat that I stayed in a 6 (Maybe higher?

On 30th June 09 (my 3rd day in HK), lady luck in a disguise of her ex-boss called my friend.Late at night."Hey the tables are singing to me. Want a payback on the long hours you forked out? You and friends wanna come over? Free food, free stay!"Late at night.So late that the earliest ferry out was at midnight.2 hours ride from Hong Kong to Macau.

So sluggish in posting. You know how it is, after a long holiday, back to the daily grind, sort pictures, unpack, major laundry, clear piled up tasks, delayed errands, unpack when shipment arrives (Eeyup. Shipped some of the goods bought. =P) and of course another historical and most definitely memorable walk in the sun.Bosses exercising in casual wear.Servants exercising in uniform.Ciggies,

Seems like I got its name wrong all this while. Ching Hai was the name of the coffeeshop while the stall is actually called Pau Kee. *shy sekali*One of my favourite breakfast spot in the city is no more at Tengkat Tongshin. Now it's on the other side of Sungei Wang shopping complex. Positive change: It's now open from morn till night (7.30am to 9pm)Negative change: Prices went up. Additional

Not surprisingly, here's another catch up post.Been there a few times. Usually after work, when the skies are pouring and traffic is static. Think most patrons are. =P And always it's pasta for me. More than often, done the same way - Vongole. Come to think of it, anywhere I go, it's Vongole, if not in the menu, Marinara. This foodie is just a creature of habit but aren't we all one time or

Nooo introduction needed as a flogger gathering was held there way back in 2007 (which I missed - wanna see fading self kicking scar?) and from that day onwards, like they say, is history. Or should it be claimed, made history as one of the most blogged about Thai restaurant in that area. Not that I saw any other. Is there?Finally I made it there.. and was disappointed with the food.

IMHO, food here is nothing to shout about. Look. These dishes were taken during my very first visit way back in January .. err CNY period. So did I miss the real good ones?Tomyam. Disappointing small portion of ingredients.Golden Purse (hmm.. think this is only available during that season which is a good call).Greenbean Noodle Salad. Appetising and I would not mind having it again.Savoury
