Of cuisine and birthdays.
Holidays are out, SAM (South Australian Matriculation) is in. I did'nt manage to make the best of the holidays as I was stuck at home with no car. However, things turned for the better, when the family decided to head over to Johor, to visit my sister. The irony of the visit was, we left on the 24th, which happens to be both my dad and my nieces birthday. Speaking of nieces, I heard a joke long time back.
( A pregnant lady was warded for labour and her brother-in-law was the only one present at the hospital)
Lady: I wish my husband was here to name this child. Too bad he's gone back to heaven.
Uncle: Don't worry, I'll be here for you and I'll name the children.
Lady: Don't screw it up okay?
Uncle: Sure, ma'am.
( Operation was a success. A pair of twins were born into the world. The uncle named the children as quick as possible to avoid forgetting the names he had preplanned.)
Lady: Did you name them?
Uncle: Yah, I named both of them very nicely.
Lady: I'm waiting. Whats that child's name? (Pointing to the female baby)
Uncle: Denise
Lady: Whoa. Thats a splendid name. How bout him?
Uncle: Da'nephew
ROFLLMAOLOL!
Heading back to what I was saying, as we headed to Johor, we took a brief break in Yong Peng. That place is famous for two cuisines; the noodle soup(mee-sup) and the authentic chicken rice. We ate the latter. The thing was, the chicken rice was not as ordinary as you might have imagined. Put in layman's terms, rice with roasted chicken with groundnuts. I ordered the normal one, my dad decided to experiment with the pork meat.
To top it all off, there weren't any chilly sauce available to add, but there was one spicy looking sambal to savour. It didn't add much flavour, comparing to the texture of the chicken meat. So we decided to improvise. We actually used vinegar instead.
This was the first meal of the day. After having a brief birthday celebration for my little niece, Krysta Xene, we went for dinner at a local chinese restaurant.
So for dinner, this is what we had. Preety simple tho, for the six of us (including my sister and her husband).
1. Japanese Tofu(Taufu)
2. A glass of cold Carlsberg Beer. No, wait, kidding, just swee-cha a.k.a Chinese Tea
3. Fried Fish with Chilly.
4. Butter Prawns, my fav.
5. Vege.
The food was so-so. Would'nt rate it that high, but it's worth recommending, if you happen to be in Johor.
In a totally unrelated topic, the Malaysian Police Force have suddenly started becoming cute, while cutting back costs.
They believe, that this Kancil helps
1) Chase after speed demon's going at 180kmph, while the Kancil has a top speed of 140kmph, before the car splits apart at 160kmph.
2) Aid corruption. With traffic-offenders see the car, they must think, "I need to help Malaysian Police, they're getting preety poor."
Adios, amigoes!
