Food Tour in Seremban [II]

Food Tour in Seremban [II]

Min Kok Sdn Bhd

Here we go again! Food Tour around Seremban Town~~ Today Avalon will bring everyone to eat Dim Sum. A Popular Spot to eat Dim Sum in Seremban. The Restaurant Name is Min Kok Sdn Bhd. This shop is located at Era Walk. The landmarks nearby are St.Paul's Instituition, Tokyo Marine, Terminal 2. It's easy to locate, there's impossible to miss look if u head to terminal 2. The duration of Dim Sum is just about 7~8 hours ranging from 7am to 1pm. Besides eating Dim Sum, they also sells food like other resstaurant did...And ofcourse not to mention Wedding Dinner also apart of their bussiness also~

The Entrance

This place is crazy!! Even you come at 11 o'clock in the morning, you still have to line up outside to wait for your number being called! Don't bother of coming at 7am~8am in the morning because the condition is far worst~Can you imagine the crowd? It's like going a concert... One advise is go around 11am~12pm, lesser people that time.

The Interior of Min Kok Sdn Bhd

This is picture is apart of the restaurant only...This is the part where my camera managed to capture at 12pm~ Saw the crowd? Even 12pm people still crazy about Dim Sum!!! I will explain about how the Dim Sum system works in Min Kok Sdn Bhd...The waiters and waitress will push trolley around the restaurant...If you wanna order, then just call "leng zhai, leng lui, auntie~" they will respond to you. Most workers consists of young youths around my age or maybe younger~After that, just choose the Dim Sum you desire, then they will record down in a card. The card consists of the Dim sum's name, quantity and the price, so don't wori...you will know how much you eat and amount of price required to pay.

Examples of Dim Sum

They have "Siu Mai", "Har Gao", "zhu chiong fen", and etc [Just too many Dim Sum till i cant finish taking pictures of them!!]...Their egg tart is differently made compared to others. The egg tart's skin is nice to eat and the core [the center of it] is pretty well made; in the sense of eating many of them without eerie [geli] feeling.







Ah yes! this is one of my favourites in Dim Sum, must have this! "Tai Chi Siu Mai" which consists of scallop and under it made by fish meat~ yummy~ really love it that much~







Conclusion: One day don't where,when and how, you must try the Dim Sum at Min Kok Sdn Bhd. No point if you just get the inspirations and ideas/pictures, you must come here and try how the taste like. No point describing using colorful words, it's the experience that counts!

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.
SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Give it! Don't just get it!

Most people walk in and out of your life,
but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.

A Journey Called Life--

A Journey Called Life--

Exactly one week ago, on the 9th of June 2010...There were 9 youngster went to Pantai Waterfalls for camping for a day. Water from the Pantai Waterfals is the source of water resources in my district; Seremban. Journey started from Seremban at 9am++ from Blossom Food Court. It takes us about 40minutes to reach Mun's Agriculture; my friends farm.

Our commando 1 [Kelvin Mun] is giving us briefing about the waterfalls, the danger, the safety, emergency times and so on...His briefing indeed short and compact with solid facts. Way to go commando! Everyone let's prepare!


Commando 1 is doing his job very well, sharpening a few parang brought by himself, jem's and yew loong's. You have no idea how pro he is in river tracing. He hop from one stone to another to trace the river, unlike us the poor ones have to walk on it..







Mr Rambo is ready to depart...He is fully equipped with parangs and some necessary items for River Tracing, Most important item to carry is your camera Jems!

The Begining

This is the spot where we have begin not long, hehe, these are the youths who are going for rivering tracing at the Pantai Waterfalls. Everything started so nice, even the weather is nice itself.

The Process; Journey.



The process of tracing up to the top requires patience, teamwork, endurance and perseverance. Lacking of one of these qualities except teamwork is difficult to climb all the way up to the top of the waterfall. The obstacle is very difficult, as you require patience to cross them one by one...The obstacle include fast current, slippery rocks, unstable rocks, climbing some slopes







Oh no! There's a snorlex blocking our way! Somebody get poke flute to wake him up! Oh please not jigglypuff =p...It's time for relaxation half way thorugh!!! Everyone is exhausted abit~ kinda worn out of breath by overcoming the obstacle~ Some busy drying clothes because they dropped into the water and got wet, some busy playing with the water. The water there was so clear and clean till you can drink it on the spot!!! The water is refreshing cool too...






After 5 hours of journey...













All the members perform their jobs accordingly eventhough we are 2 hours behind schedule... Commander Kelvin and Patrick set up the tents, yew loong and shang jun collecting firewoods, and me & joshua will be the chefs for the camp... We enjoyed cooking it!

Expect the Unexpected!!!

Going all these trips, always expect the unexpected things will happen. So, the statement came through during the late evening. The rain fell onto the surface of the Earth. It wasn't raining heavily...But, everyone is in cold, fire can't really be started seems some of the firewoods were wet!!! all we can do is rely on the fire we built for cooking for heat. Some even enjoy bathing in the cold river water at 8pm at night!!! The clock now shows 8.30pm, the rain is still falling.
The water level rise as sudden up till the campsite!! The water rise faster than I've expected and studied in Geology~ I've just realised that top the mountain perhaps is raining heavily and contributes to the unexpected rise of water level. The current became faster too! Everyone evacuated by packing important stuff to the camp, as some tied the camp to the tree as not to be flushed away by the current. Everyone abandonned the campsite by ONLY choice; climbing the slope by the camping ground to escape...Thank god, everyone escaped without injury...

The next day~















We went back to our campsite to do some clean up... Miracles happened!!! Everything we put in the camp is still there~It's a wise choice to flee from such a dangerous situation occured last night. I'm busy preparing fire for people to cook. Saw the leng zhai chef there? He cooks nice sambal belacan + luncheon meat lolz!!! Ofcourse in some situation, a flutist has his use in controlling the intensity of the fire by channeling the air to the fire!! LOLz~~

The Survival Team

After through a rough night, we survived and we called ourselves "The Survival Team".

Broadcast : I would like to thank Mun's Agriculture to keep us for one night~
Promotion: Mun's Agriculture sells seafood, any inquires don't hesitate to leave a mesage in
the blog~

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

This time, i will be sharing another facts from my friend, Shang Jun concerning car air-cond. Hope everyone reads it...

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents. Hmmm. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess its not too late to make some changes

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.



Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here's why:

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.

Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the20deadly stuff - before you enter.

Thought:
'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

Inconsolable

Basically this poem is written when I am heart broken~ It's written today~

Inconsolable by Avalon Chin

Late at night, not even a shine of a ray,
Feeling of missing you just runs deeply,
Can’t sleep even dead tired,
Not because of worry about you,
But words that you have told me earlier on…

Reviewing your love story,
Me and my hopelessness were amused,
Nevertheless, deep down my heart is stabbed and bled,
How I wish you could hear the sounds of a heart break,
Where it shatter into sands of the sea and sunk.

The tears rolled down as the petals shed,
I tried to obliterate your image in me,
But your wistful face appeared every time I close eyes,
No matter many seasons passed, yet I’m thinking of you,
Up till now, I do still remember how we first ever met,
The feeling of loving a person once used to have,
Is hard to relinquish and to forget,
Will love be more precious when you confess it?

If you are to peel my heart,
Like an innocent onion layer by layer by layer,
You will eventually shocked,
Where you are the only suppressed, deepest secret,
No one else in me except you,
How I wish to have with you, a second of our own story,
If only you can hear me, see my determination
You will eventually tear.

Looking at you, secretly hiding emotional and myself,
Reviewing the happy moments we had,
I remember you once told me to forget,
These memories now are hollow, painful and unforgettable,
How is it possible to stop thinking and loving you?
You were cry in guilt,
Not because you care about your current relationship but,
It’s because I’m too late...

Ten Guidelines From God

I had received a mail the other day and I just deceided to share with everyone about some facts by my friend Andrew Low....

Effective Immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life.

These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life.

After all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please,

follow these 10 guidelines

1. QUIT WORRYING:

Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you?

Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long,

I am after all... God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:
Once you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me.

Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials.
Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
Problem with finances? Put it on My list.
Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For My sake, put it on My list.

I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don't wake up one morning and say,
"Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now?

It's simple.
You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them.

I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back,
you will be right back where you started?
Leave them with Me and forget about them.

Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME:
I want you to forget a lot of things.
Forget what was making you crazy..
Forget the worry and the fretting because you know

I'm in control.. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't forget to talk to Me -OFTEN!

I love YOU!
I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life.
I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me.

I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are.

Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing.

Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes.
I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs.

You only have to trust Me.
Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE:
You were taught to share when you were only two years old.

When did you forget?
That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you.. Share your joy with those who need encouragement.

Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in
such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences.
You grow from a child to an adult, have children,

change jobs many times, learn many trades,

travel to so many places, meet thousands of people,

and experience so much.

How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list?

Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect.

Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND:
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you.

They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all.

Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical.
Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love.

Love Me.
Love your neighbors. But also love yourself.
It makes My heart ache when I see you
so angry with yourself when things go
wrong. You are very precious to me.
Don't ever forget......

"Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except those things outside the will of God.

May your days be filled with answered prayers.God bless us all always."

Food Tour in Seremban

This time, Avalon brings you a tour in the sensational delicious food available in Seremban, my own home town. Well, I would like to thank my uncle for the delicious dinner =). I get to know this restaurant also because of my uncle. The dish name will be pronounced in Cantonese.



Avalon brings you Restaurant Man Xiang Cheng.
It's a restaurant that also cooks home dishes in Seremban itself. This shop is located before Restaurant Oriental in Temiang. Or you can say it's near the old "Odian Cinema". This restaurant is newly open.






Properties of the restaurant:
a) The restaurant is clean, I would like to give it an A- for its cleanliness.
b) The restaurant is double story and its air-conditioned on the upper level.
c) Workers there are quite polite.
d) Lightings all alright, Ventilation all set and ok~

Food Ate;
Dish no.1
I bet there is no necessary for me to explain whats on my left; It's a dish. Consists of abalone, giant mushroom, "hoi sum" a type of seafood, and also vegetable. Practically the abalon is cooked just nice, you can taste the natural taste of it and also the "spongyness" of it. Accompany by the smoothness of the sauce, a bite will take you to paradise. The sauce is not too salty, just nice to match the abalone. The mushroom is a perfect match for the dish, a bite of it and the sauce oozes out and give you a very nice expression when you bite it. You can imagine that yourself. As for "Hoi Sum" I didnt taste it, because I don't like to eat it!!!

Dish no. 2


This dish is called Mangolia Pork ["Mongu Pai Kuat"] The sauce is very smooth, but has a strong taste of black pepper. For those black pepper lover, here you are~ A nice taste of the black pepper sauce~ The sauce has a "human-skin colour". Curry leaf is added as spice in this dish. The pork is cooked just nice, as it would be like a chewing gum!!




Dish no. 3

This dish is called as "Kai Lan cooked with Scallop". This dish can say the most natural dishes among the dishes i'm introducing soon. You can taste the natural taste of the scallop; the seafood taste of it. It just taste so good and you would feel like taking another scallop. As for the "Kai Lan" a type of veggy, it is cook just nice also, won't take bitter, or people describe it as old for certain chinese people. This dish suits for the old people or those who are sick~



Dish no 4

What does it looks like to you?
This dish is called "Clay Pot Fish Head" ["Sa Pou Yu Tau"]. The dish is cook with fish which has chopped or sliced into regular-sized cube. The sauce is brown coloured and has an undescriable feeling. It tastes so good until you spceehless. The sauce is too hard to describe, but you'll have to try it. The fish 100% match perfectly with the sauce cooked.




Dish no 5


I bet everyone knows what is displayed on the left. It's crab ofcourse =). This is the one of the main dishes of the restaurant. This dish is called "Duck egg~Crab" ["Ham Tan Hai']. The sauce you can taste the duck egg-yolk melts on your tongue giving a nice taste when you give a bite on the crabs' meat.





Overall, I will rate the food quality is 8/10 . Don't ask me the price of all the dishes because I'm not the one who pays the bill and resit is not issued/taken. There you go again, concerning about food; everyone will have different taste. If anyone of you interested to ask me to advertise your shop and etc.. Don't hesitate to leave a message in the shout box or contact me, Terms and Condition applied exception will be given to friends XD

1 day trip in Melacca--

In the morning on the 31st of May, me and Derick went down to Melacca for a day for food~ Practically nothing else but craving for Korean Delights XD... We missed the 10.30am bus because someone thought bus will be late =.=''..No worries, bus to Melaca from Seremban scheduled many too. The bus service, Transnational offers the bus service to Melacca every one hour. The price of the ticket is RM6.80..The bus is punctual! Malaysia transportation system is set to a higher standard and never say the bus is late and etc..
Well, it pretty looks like in an airplane i guess, its kinda comfortable at the back seats. It only takes about 1.5~2 hrs maximum to reach Melacca Sentral [main bus station of Melacca]. I reach Melacca about 1pm, departed at 11.30am. Next destination!! Mahkota Parade XD















Not to mention, this is my favourite spot for Korean Delights!!! Avalon presents Seoul Garden.The buffey starts from 1pm-4.59pm. Me and few of my friends [Wendy, Wan Fang, Irene, Ming Heng, Derick] Please bring along your matric card for discounts at student price XD...I spent RM 23.00 for my lunch and ofcourse make sure have light breakfast not a heavily ones too prepare yourself for BIG MAKAN!!! Girls, ready to show boys your cooking skills?
















The picture on my left shows a type of Korean prickled vegetable named Kimchi, it serves as an appatizer and also an ingredient for tasty sup! Don't miss out to try that~The picture on my right shows the stove prepared. We are supposed to cook on our own anyway, if u're afraid of being splashed by small droplets of oil, then forget about the idea of cooking...






Not to mention that you can make your own drinks too. Like mine i adopted the ipoh drink, "Leung Fan Shuet". It taste like the one i often drink in Tronoh XD...Henry want to try my drink? You can make Ice-Kacang [ABC] and so on. Despite of eating all the "heaty" and fried food, they serve some drinks to cool your body like Ginseng+Red Dates water and also cryshantemum tea...









Next pit-stop, ofcourse the 3D cinema in Melacca. Many didnt realise that Melacca do actualy has a 3D cinema. Dont be shocked,it's newly built and quite nice too.
We enjoyed ourselves watching The Shrek 3 in 3D version. Wakaka...it's kinda difficult for those who wear specs and simultaneously wearing 3d glasses, it's tiring to hold the 3D glasses like holding a masquerade in balls. =.=''

Off to dinner.....

Well, when you come Melacca, don't ever miss the chance to eat this!! Satay Celup! @.@ Come and taste they satay sauce as feel the sensation of the "tea" here. The best and famous stall so far of all Satay Celup shops is Ban Lee Siang. The price of item eaten is indicated at the end of the stick itself, the red stick costs RM0.60 each and the normal sticks costs RM0.50 each. Dont come alone, bring some friends baru syiok!!




What comes after the sun rise?














Next comes to Chicken rice ball, practically this shop is not the shop i wanted to visit...But this shop's food also not bad~ the rice ball is not as good as hand-made ones...These balls are made from factories, so when u eat them you will know~ this plate costs about RM5.60, the shop is air-conditioned by the way...Shopping comes next XD....




Here comes the largest Jusco in South East Asia! It is located 5~10minutes drive from Melacca Sentral. It is very large and a shopping paradise for girls/Ladies. Don't miss the chance!








What does the sign beside tells everyone? No entry right?? This sign is placed at the bus stop. Most people "collided"/banged the door when trying to walk past this door..."Bengislah" the people, show already no entry will want to walk and langgar lolz...i observed that day since i sat near this door...8/10 people passby sure langgar this door, padahal got another door located near to this, where everyone can enter =.=''Malaysians, please do read signs! There are not for display purposes, but they have functional purposes. Pls dont take them lightly


Alrighty, next destination is going to camp in jungle for 2 days and 1 night without a facilitator.Stay tune and hopefully i can bring my camera phone to snap around XD
