Che-Cheh

How’s your Merdeka celebration? Mine came and went just like an ordinary holiday. Sudah tak ada semangat. I didn’t even celebrate my birthday. Bought a cake that stayed unmove in the fridge. LOL

Ok let’s move on to the main agenda… Ramadhan Bazaar!

For years we wanted to try this famous Penang Popiah stall at SS14 Ramadhan Bazaar. And for years it has eluded us until last Saturday. The reason was because the queue was always very looooooooooooooooooooong and very slow moving (worst than tortoise speed).

I was at Digital Mall to get my ‘reserved’ Toshiba SDHC 16GB card from All It Hypermarket. It was around 3.20pm. I thought I will surely miss the Ramadhan Bazaar there since it’s too early?! But whaddya know? Many stalls were just setting up and some are already busy selling buka puasa juadah.

And then we saw it. The Penang popiah stall!

The queue is already long in my standard but my mom insisted on queuing.
We’re like behind 14 to 15 people.

Only RM1. The fillings consist of turnip, scrambled eggs, bean sprouts, prawns & home-made sauce.

Guess how long it took us to buy 5 pieces of popiah from this uncle? 1/2 hour under hot sun!

These are leftovers popiah…
Can you guess why it’s leftovers?

Because no one wants it.
Unfortunately my whole family didn’t like the sweet taste of this popiah. The sauce is sweet and so is the turnip. There’s nothing special to it. What a disappointment. Hai hai

I checked out other blogs that blogged about this popiah. All of them like it except us. LOL

Anyway here are some other juadah that we bought.

Lontong!!! This is my first time trying lontong and I like it a lot. Bought at the stall opposite Penang Popiah.
Lontong consist of ketupat, hard-boiled egg and eaten with stay kuah (kuah kacang), vegetable curry and squid sambal (extra)

My most favorite Malay kuih: Kuih Cara.
With curry chicken, green onions, coriander and slices of chili in the middle. HEAVEN!!!

All in all I think I much prefer buka puasa juadah from Shah Alam and Bangsar. What say you?

The back alley of my house is currently being exploited by at least 5 rats!

Very often now when I’m at the kitchen, I can easily observe 1 or 2 rats scavenging for food.

My 2 reasoning why they’re able to populate that fast.

1. There’s a new restaurant near our place. Just 200m away from my back door. This means food for rats.

2. Because my dear neighbors (3-4 of them) occasionally throw leftovers at the back alley for cats, pigeons and crows to feed on. Little did they realized rats are also scavenger. 2 of my neighbors had been doing this for decades. And the worst case is they threw the leftovers near our place. And now another 1 is following suit. Cilaka!!!

What really irks me is that the rats make camp at our backdoor or should I say they poo-poo at our door. ARGGH!!! Rats are super dirty creature and they bring dangerous disease.

That aside…

Why am I showing pigeons? Coz I couldn’t find King Rat. That’s why. Haha

But why now the rats are the king of our back alley?

The answer: There are fewer cats.
No idea where they’ve gone. Died? kidnapped? migrated? unable to reproduce? lost to rats in battle? LOL

Totally no idea.
The last time I check which was on Friday, I didn’t see cats at all! *tai wok*

So to human we must depend to bring peace back to our back alley. The human is my mom.

On Saturday night my mom place a rat trap which consist of rat glue and some yummy baits outside our backdoor. I joked at my mom “What if you caught a biawak?” Haha *biawak = monitor lizard

Next morning my mom told us the trap caught something. Thank god it wasn’t a biawak. It’s a rat!!! Yipeee. So 1 down 4 to go.

Maybe we should just hire Tom (from the Tom n Jerry show). LOL

About a year ago, I found out the real identity of my dog. The cutie golden retriever, Chester isn’t who he’s suppose to be. Of course he’s a dog. But he’s not an ordinary pet dog. He is… ARE YOU READY? Hannibal Lecter’s dog!

His name is Kannibal Checter!!! (you can read more about it by clicking his name link)

Just few weeks back, he turned into this ugly-ferocious-scary-nightmare dog again. GULPS!

Normal pet dog.

Oh ohhhh he’s changing…

His upper lip is curling in.

His fangs elongates.

RAWWWRR!!!

Transformation complete!

But you know what? I’m not afraid anymore. Here kitty kitty kitty. Muahahaha

Note: Lame post. LOL
