Fried Chicken, Yu Yu Ice @ Kedai Yao Yao Ping & Ayam Goreng

I stumbled across this restaurant while I was collecting information for my university assignment, a research about  Pandamaran. It was told to me by a local friend that this is one of the best and most famous fried chicken and yu yu ice ("yao yao bing") in town. Situated opposite of SJK (C) Pandamaran B, it has a strikingly large and eye catching signboard. 

Greeting us upon entry is the "kitchen" where the chickens were fried and yu yu ice was sold. Owner frying the delicious fried chickens (bottom). 

 "Bungkus? Makan?", asked the worker. 

The fried chicken arrive hot on our tables. It's so crispy. Yum! Juicy and tender meat. Very similar to the conventional fried chicken you found in "pasar malam" (night market) and fast food chains. Harder flesh on certain parts for those who ordered chicken breast. Nevertheless, this is still among the best for casual snacks or tea time.

It was almost dinner, but we couldn't resist to order for more. There also have ayam percik here (malay style roasted chicken). Price depending on which part of the chicken, was around RM 2.50 per piece. 

Yao Yao Ping was from RM 1.30. 

It's like an extremely fine ice blended drink, lighter than ice cream. An instant relive from the hot weather! Ahhhh... .. Reminds me of the days chasing after the uncle in motorcycle who sells this. Flavours include Cendol, Red Bean, Sour Plum, Bubur Cha Cha, Mango, Lychee, Watermelon, etc. I tried the bubur cha cha and red bean at first was rather too sweet for me. Prefer mochana of all the flavours. If you love sour taste, try Sour Plum flavour, it's really so, so, so, so sour..

Wondrous Mille Crepe at Nadeje Café Sdn. Bhd.

I've been craving for cakes a long, long time. This was my second visit here and I can't help myself from satisfying my sweet tooth at Nadeje Sdn. Bhd, famous for its mille crepe or also known as "thousand layers cakes". Mille Crepe is a French cake made of many crepe layers. “Mille” means “a thousand” in French, implying the many layers of crepe used. 


My first cake there was the Original Mille Crepe. The origin of Nadeje Mille Crepe, a cake made of custard cream with Tahitian Vanilla Beans mix with Fresh Cream. The layers worked wonders, with each melting smoothly in your mouth once you take a bite. The only thing that stays was the rich taste and aroma of the cakes. 


I prefer Tiramisu and the original Mille Crepe the most. It's light and creamy, as light as feather. 

Tiramisu  - Rich profound taste of high quality Mascarpone cheese of Galbani, Italy. 

Cafe - Moderately sweet and aromatic taste of roasted Italian Coffee cake. 

Cheese - Freshness of New Zealand Cream cheese and home made Lemon Jam. 

Chocolate Banana Cheese Cake - Harmony of home made banana jam and New Zealand cream cheese.  

The drinks and beverages were said to made from fresh ingredient without any artificial colourings. There are a wide variety of drinks for you to choose from soft drinks, teas (strawberry, berry berry, apple, etc), matcha milk, ginger ale, milkshake, yakult drinks, fresh juices,etc. 

This was my favourite of the drinks we ordered. 

This is not really of my liking. However, my friend prefers this though, it's fizzy, rather like Soda. Great for those who love soft drinks. 

It felt great trying their salad udon after eating so much of strong spices and thick gravy in the past few days. Something light for the taste buds. 

The Salad Udon - It's so fresh, love the vegetables, and light taste with mayonnaise as well as a little bit of tuna on top. 

The food was okay and the prices were affordable. Quite similar to those other chain stores and branches of cake houses or cafes.  


You'll need an ice box for take aways if you live far from the cake house. Bring it from home, or otherwise you can get it from the cake house. The cakes were priced at RM 8.50 per slice and RM 65.00 for a whole cake if I was not mistaken. 


For cake ordering, you need to place your order early, 3-6 working days are required to process your order.

New Year's eve at Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur 2010

One of the most happening places in Kuala Lumpur as millions gathered worldwide to ring in 2011. 

 The sea of people at Bukit Bintang once we arrived there at around 10 pm. The crowd is just building up. There were road closures to accommodate the increasing number of people. We took the lrt and monorail to avoid the traffic chaos. Our journey was hassle free. Furthermore, the stations had extended operations till 2 am. 

Highlight of the year.

New Year Eve's Countdown Party by Fly Fm at Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. Party like never before till new year. With Djs at the scene to heat things up and live broadcast to Fly Fm radio station. 

It's raining SNOW? 

Where could you find snow in a tropical country like Malaysia.....

Join in the fun. Be sure to get sprayed. Be armed with a snow spray of party spray! 

Wish you a Happy New Year 2011! 

Have a great year ahead.

Christmas Celebration at Portuguese Settlement, Malacca 2010

Christmas celebration was held every year at the settlement. Unfortunately, last year it was nationally announced that the celebration was cancelled. I was told that this year, the celebration would be on and had decided to make a trip there on Christmas eve. A local told me that there would be people dancing, partying and performances by the Portuguese people as well as a live countdown.  

Well...... no performances this year during eve. Only to discover that this year the celebration had been postponed to the 26th December 2010. Malaysia's National Christmas Celebration was held at the Portuguese Settlement Malacca on 26th December 2010.  However, this did not affect the festive spirit. It was all worth the trip at the end of the day. 

The sight of Christmas lights and decorations there was breathtaking. Houses were so beautifully decorated with Christmas lights. 

Happy Birthday Jesus!

 Aik Cheong, one of the sponsors.

Another sponsor, Julie's Biscuits. You can see giant Julie biscuits in a huge tin and boxes there. 

Most there on the Christmas eve were kids, teenagers and youngsters. Many we equipped with a snow spray on hand, ready at any moment when the clock strikes 12 midnight. Party sprays was less popular as compared to the latter. 

You can find stalls selling Christmas light up hats, reindeer hair bands, mickey shaped light up hair band, angel head band, Santa heads hair bands to Snow Sprays. 

At the count of 5, 4, 3, 2,1! Fire!!!! 
We certainly enjoyed ourselves. 

And the air was filled with party snow. 

Hardly had enough air to breath with all the snow sprays firing into the air. 

26th December marks the end of our vacation to Malacca in 2010. We got to drop by for a short for the 26th December, National Christmas Celebration before heading back home. More adults and family can be seen here. 

Ushers dressed in beautiful "Baju Kebaya" welcoming the VIPs and guests of honours. 

Nonetheless, we didn't get to watch any of the performances before heading back. 

The goodies bag we got at the National Christmas Celebration. Have a can of Power Champ, isotonic drink and a bottle of mineral water too actually. Were so deprived of H20, finished it before we got home.
