Ah Hua Noodle Stall

Yummy soup noodle from across the crossway, Johor Bahru, Malaysia… Ah Hua has been around for at least 30 years… the noodle stall occupies a spacious coffee shop lot, sharing with Ah Hua is a drink stall that serves very good yuan yang (mixture of tea with coffee) which I will not miss…

Lady boss preparing all the orders… carrying on the business started by her father in-law

Steaming hot kuay tiao soup with sliced pork, kidney, liver and vege… if you order a RM15 bowl… it comes with either a piece of abalone or some oyster… YUM YUM!!!

Take a look at the stove… its char coal stove… amazing…

Directions -> Here comes the difficult part…. the coffee shop is located along a stretch of shop houses besides EON Bank… which is not too far away from City Square… shouldn’t be too difficult for you to ask around… and hopes the picture below helps ha….

 A typical breakfast on 1st day of CNY. All these lovely cakes are home baked by my aunt… YUMMY!

  Something that my grandma will not miss… offering her prayer to the god and goddess on 1st day of CNY

 Here’ the highlight of the day ha… our annual betting games ha…

  This year the winner walked away with RM350 : )

3pm in the afternoon: Considered myself lucky… My cousins treated me for a night stay at Berjaya Times Square Hotel

 

 

 

The hotel room was quite impressive until we found out that the air-con wasn’t working probably until 30 mins later, the toilet bowl was overflowing when you flush, the cable tv in the room got no service and worse of all, you need to call the room service hotline more than 6 times before they could send someone up to check on our problems ha… anyway… that doesn’t matter… all it matters was the company I had that day….

We couldn’t wait any longer for the engineers to come so we left the room and head down to the shopping complex…

  Cosmo World… can you see the roller coaster inside the shopping complex… COOL! Entrance fee is RM25 for adults and RM15 for children below 12 (if i remembered correctly)

Tea break time at The Baker’s Moment…

 

 

 

 

No words can describe all these mouth watering bread ha

And thats not all… we had ice cream at Baskin and Robins…

 

 

That’s not all… guess wat?? we had our dinner at around 5pm + that afternoon …. @ Laska Shack

Hope I remembered the names correctly ha…

  This should be Assam Laska

  This is Johor Curry Laska

 This is Laska Kelantan

  And this is the special one… Nyonya Laksa… lots of coconuty taste

 Pots of Laksa Gravy

Can you image how shaq we were after all these food and shopping ha… we headed back to the hotel for Bailey’s with Chocolate milk that nite… we had snacks and chips and chit chat till late…

19 Feb 10am: Nearly missed our breakfast buffet ha… this was what we ta bao from the buffet line ha… typical Asians!!!

 

Time to say goodbye 3pm: Had another sumptuous meal before leaving for the airport… wow, guess I must have easily gained few kgs over this CNY ha….

 Bye everyone… counting down to our next gathering again @ Genting….

BQ Korean

It’s Korean food again! This almost new contemporary Korean restaurant (opened 15 months ago??) is located at Far East Sq, Singapore… Highly recommended is their Bi Bim Ba S$10.90 (beef or vegetable bowl).

The ingredients includes mushrooms, zucchini, radish, soy bean sprouts, eggs etc… It also comes with a red sweet/sour sauce that you pour over and mix with.

Also highly recommended is BQ Korea Ginseng Chicken Soup, S$12.90… this is my all time favourite…
