KL 2017 Le Pont Boulangerie

I met up with another group of my ex-colleagues at Le Pont Boulangerie for lunch. It was a great pleasure to meet up after 17 years, for a few of them. Some I had met up more recently.

KL 2017 FRIM

On a Saturday morning, my sister in law (my brother’s wife) wanted to bring me to FRIM for morning walk.

We went out very early, just after 6am. It was still very dark. So, we went to the nearby Kim Tek Bak Kut Teh to have breakfast. This is my family’s favourite bak kut teh restaurant. She ordered an order of “sei guat”, literally translated to small bone. The meat was not too fatty.  I wonder what is the English term for this part of the meat.

We also shared an order of bean curd sheet and tofu puff.

Lastly, some Chinese donut for dunking into the soup.

KL 2017 SS2 Durian

After tea time at Le Bread Days, my friend brought me to the real deal.

img_3271

She brought me to the SS2 Durian stall to get the real fruit.

img_3265

It is not durian season yet, so there is not many places that sell it now. I was so lucky to have such a great friend to bring me to one.

img_3266

When not in season, the price of durian is understandably higher. (more…)

KL 2017 Seri Kembangan Night Market

On the night that I returned from Malacca, I was still at my sister’s place. My youngest brother will drive me back to my father’s place later that night.

Prior to going back to my father’s place, he brought me to the Seri Kembangan night market. He told me that the Seri Kembangan night market is bigger than the one in Puchong.

img_3208

But on the way there, the sky did not look good. It was very dark and the closer we were to the night market, we could see lightning. Nevertheless, we still took our chance.

img_3200

Here are some of the food stalls photos that I took. The above was stinky tofu.

My favourite thin version of the “Jin Loong Bao” (apam balik). (more…)
