Revisiting Hing Ket Grill House @ Kampung Jawa

 

 

The word GRILL does make you droll huh?

I know I am drooling now.

My previous blogspot about Hing Ket Grill House is lacking of 'visual aid'.

So here it goes... photos and all.

Thanks to my office laptop I'm blogging now!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hing Ket Grill House is located at Kampung Jawa.

Location wise is very hard to describe but there are

few bloggers who manage to give precise turning point.

Hope the below direction from other blogger would be of help.

Direction:-

1. It is located off the main road along Kampung Jawa, Klang.
2. If you come from Fed. Highway, after toll, go straight. 1st viaduct, go up.
3. At roundabout, turn left. (condos in front) 
4. When you reach traffic lights, take left. There’ll be shop lots on the left.  
5. Go straight. At traffic lights, turn right.You’ll come to a T-junction, turn left there.
6. Travel down that road, quite a distance. Shop is on your right so you’ll hv to keep a lookout (at a curvy part of the road).
7. This shop is sandwiched btw a house and another shop.(the whole area is called kg. jawa)
8. Not far from Connaught Bridge TNB Power station

This place has been one of our favourite place for baked crab and grilled lamb chop.

Other dishes are pretty normal.

 

 

Japanese bean curd in sizzling plate.

Tasted good just like how it should be.

No complaint in this.

 

 

Love their fried vegetables.

Simple and tasty.

 

 

Kampung chicken on the other hand is a little bit too stiff / hard.

Guess kampung chicken texture is always like this.

But the gravy tasted good being eaten with rice.

 

 

Deep fried squids - MUST HAVE!

Uh-laa-laaaaa.

I love the flour they used. So crispy and the squids are not chewy.

Dehliciousss..

 

 

Fried fish with ginger.

One may think that fried fish may taste dry and unappetizing.

But this one in particular, is topped with ginger and some oil.

Very nice and aromatic.

 

 

Ah-haaa!!! The main character is here!!!

Grilled lamb is the main reason why people come to Hing Ket Grill House.

By the taste of it, we know it's very well marinated.

It's so tender and taste yummylicious with the given mint sauce!

Thumbs up!

 

 

Chilli crab.. what can I say.

Yummy! What's missing is some fried mantou. 

 

Baked crab! My favourite!

This place serve one of the most succulent firm crab meat!

When a crab is fresh, any kind of simple cooking method would be sufficient to bring out the crab aroma!

In this case, the baked crab is sweet and juicy. 

 

 

 

 

yummylicious!

What's up Doc?!!

Ring ring!

I just came back from Cameron Highlands yesterday, and oh boy! I was exhausted !

Did alot of walking, a short trail of jungle trekking,

and did not get enough of sleep.

Am practically refraining my head from banging on the keyboard now.

*Nah... not that bad...*

But can see that my eyes are half opened though... keke!

I'm in need to get something off my chest today.

I've said this many times before, but I'm saying it again this time.

My PC is dead!!!

Yes I revived it many times.

Paid RM30 to restore the windows, reformat, and all the things that the Dr. PC does.

Worked for a good one week, then gone again.

I've given up on my PC, and am saving up for a new one.

So many blog post pending.

Can't wait to get my hands on the new CPU and blog my heart out.

For the next few weeks, it's gonna be less fun, more OT!

Should be able to save up then...

Gam ba de!!!

Psstt.. Went to many places to eat. Reviews and photos coming up sooooonnnn!!!

If want it sooner, get me a new CPU !!!!!!

Fee-fye-fo-fum....

Fee Fye Fo Fum,

Ask not whence the thunder comes,

Ask not where the flocks have gone,

Or why the birds have ceased their song.

On your way home, tarry not over long….

Watched Jack the Giant Slayer last weekend.

Interesting remake of the original Jack & The Beanstalk.

Handsome actor and actress.

My eyes was affixed looking at the Princess that I felt like kissing her.

Seriously, Eleanor Tomlinson is awesome looking in this movie!

It was a two hour movie,

but felt longer sitting in there,

perhaps because the battle just went on and on,

could not find time to catch my breath.

And the storyline is as per expected.

Jack found some beans,

did what he was told not to,

beans grew to tall beanstalk,

giant came down,

trying to eat all the human they can find,

Jack kill the giants,

Jack save the day,

Jack save Princess in distress,

Jack marry Princess.

Nevertheless, it was a nice movie to watch.

Thanks Vince for the movie passes!!!

It's the 'International Day of Happiness' !!!

Was supposed to roll out this post yesterday but my hands are tied with loads of paperwork and never ending phone calls.

So yeah, Happy Belated 'International Day of Happiness'!

United Nations has declared that every 20th March would be a day where being happy is more important than any other ordinary day!

Make any sense?

Maybe not how I put it..

But being happy is by helping others, and by making others happy, we will enrich ourselves and thus gained more happiness!

Motto : MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY!

So this day is aimed to acknowledge the importance of happiness, and the way to do this is to contribute good deed, promotes happiness, organize activities to educate and help people in need, and at the same time, have fun while doing it!

How did I celebrate the International Day of Happiness?

I started off my so-called Happy Day wishing everyone in  Facebook  to make someone else happy, not expecting what's coming next.

Went to lunch as normal and when I get back to my desk...

GUESS WHAT'S WAITING?!!!


SOMEONE MADE ME HAPPY!!!


A HUGE GIRAFFE BALLOON and THREE SMILEY FACE BALLOONS!!!

SOOOO BIGGGGG.....

Thank you Kayvin for making me SMILE today!

Apparently he sent this because he was worried about my blog post on a sad song by Sinead O'Connor.
Told him that there's nothing to be worried about coz I'm just posting a nice song - not an expression of my current mood or emotional state.

It's after all, a HAPPY DAY, isn't it?!!!

First International Day of Happiness celebrated with super broad smile
(are there anything bigger than smiling from ear to ear?)


So... SMILE! ......... and
LAUUUGGGHHHH OUT LOOOUUDDDD!!!!

Not enough...

Yes... sumore!!!

And more!!! Come on!!!

Rolling in the deep.... opps floor....

"Happy Happy Days ahead everyone! :)"

#SONG# Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You

Reminded of this song when it was being played by Life FM this evening.
Lovely... Sad... Soulful... Emotionally true.... Summed up to a wonderful song to end my Tuesday.

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You

Video with lyrics

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You lyrics

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms round every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl you better try to have fun
no matter what you do
but he's a fool

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted mother
in the backyard
all died when you went away
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try

nothing compares
nothing compares to you (3x)

Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit 88, KL

Just like how people go gaga over bubble tea,

we may noticed that ramen shops are mushrooming at the Klang Valley now.

As for myself, I've been loving this Japanese noodle for years,

I've tried a few places and still looking for one specific exquisite taste - Dusukoi-alike ramen.

That place holds a special place in my heart,

coz that's when I fell in love with ramen.

Recently, I have heard much about Marutama Ramen.

There are two franchise at Klang Valley itself,

one at Fahrenheit 88 and another at Empire Gallery.

Curious to find out what all the buzz is about.

Went to Kota Damansara to pick up Rachel Lee on Sunday,

then drove all the way to the heart of KL just for a bowl of noodles at Fahrenheit 88.

Looking thru their menu, I observed that the ramen broth is made of chicken soup.

Was doubting if it's gonna taste as good as the usual pork broth ramen.

They offers choice of spicy and non-spicy too.

We ordered spicy Kakuni Negi Tamago Ramen (RM25) 

which came with a slice of roast pork (cha siu),

two pieces of pork belly, seaweed, spring onion, and seasoned egg.


Added with free flow of fried garlic and sesame, the ramen broth taste heavenly!


The noodles is springy, and kinda taste like wantan mee texture... (aiks!),
well in a good way.


Cha siu and pork belly is soft and tender, and with fats as it should be,
but if I get to choose, would prefer leaner meat tho'.
 

Karashi Ramen (RM18) + Kakuni Pork Belly (RM7)

Ramen's seasoned egg is always my must-have-add-ons-item.
Marutama's seasoned egg is done perfectly.

Am missing it while blogging now...

Aji Tamago (RM2)

We also added another bowl of seaweed.

Taste so good being soaked in the broth.

Rachel enjoyed every bit of it.

So do I.. kekeke!

Aosa (RM6)

Another side dish we had that day as the sourish pickle raddish.

Wasn't very impressive this one.

Namuru (RM5)

Facebook eat first, we eat later... :P

My long drive to KL is worth it.

Although many would say that Marutama serves the best ramen,

I may not agree entirely as there are many more ramen outlets to try out before

I could make such judgement.

My ramen hunting so far has been good at Mai Ramen @ Jaya 33.

But I wonder where they moved to as the outlet there is closed.

 Hokkaido Santouka @ Tokyo Street, Pavilion on the other hand was great at first, 

but it disappointed me during my last visit with Alex.C seven months ago.

Wonder if they have improved since?

Another small ramen place is Ton Chan @ Wisma Cosway

This is the BEST... for Vince. 

Am planning to visit Ippudo. Heard that they are popular among the Singaporeans in the island.

 Menya Mushashi is another place I wanted to try out.

Nor forgetting Kayvin's review on Ikuzo ramen - this I must not miss!

Anybody interested in ramen hunting with me?!!

WARNING : You May Not End Up FAT, But You Will Definitely Gain Some Weight!

 yummylicious!

Climbing up Batu Caves

Been a Malaysian for 29 years and had never climbed up Batu Caves,

with 272 steps on the staircase, and having the world tallest Lord Murugan statue!

We are proud Malaysien, eh!

Woke up at 6.30am and get ourselves ready.

Expect to meet Chriz at Subway, Petronas beside NKVE but she is no where to be seen.

Called, SMS and Whatsapp her, and the first message I received

from her that morning was... "SHIT !!!"

She overslept!

... asked us to go ahead but we waited for her still. 

Manage to fly over to meet us, and to Batu Caves we goooo!!!

Photos below... 

Semangat membara-bara before climbing up

Pigeon understood Vince's instruction of "LOOK HERE!"

World Tallest Murugan statue at Batu Caves, Malaysia

Tailing Chriz - just a few steps away

Unlike Broga Hill, climbing up Batu Caves is a piece of cake (action nie) 

I was panting while climbing up the first few steps tho'

but when I keep on going, it seemed easier.

This was partly exaggerated - I wasn't climbing like this - at all!
Look at Delvise with his grin behind me..

Although my knee felt a little jelly weak once I reached the top,

overall it was a fun climb up, and I enjoyed pushing myself forward..

Telling myself.. "Go! Go! Go!"

Gulping down my 100 Plus upon reaching.
Don't you just love my physique here - tall and slander!

Sight of beautiful caves are captured by Vince & Chriz.

Ain't the nature amazing?

Enhanced with human technology and creation,

there's where all the wonders in the world came into place.

  

We climb a little more as I wanted to send my prayers to Lord Murugan.

Prayers being done inside the cave

The monk gave me a small coconut husk with wax in it, and to light it up.

Upon saying prayers, monk gave me his blessing by putting on 

some white ash and red dot on my forehead.

I've learnt that the sacred ash is called vibhuti that signifies the phrase

"body's origin is from dust and ash and to dust and ash it shall return".

Reminding us that everything in this world is impermanent.

And the red dot that we usually see on our fellow Indian friends' forehead,

it's called kumkum/bindi and it represents the third eye.

We have two eyes that is seeing outside, for us to observe the world.

And the third eye is focusing inward to God - reminding us to always remember God. 

Meaningful, isn't it?

The monk also tied a holy string on my left wrist, while chanting

"You have good luck, good luck, yes, good luck"

So.. good luck it is!!!

Thankiu... Tima kasi... Nanri...

The Indian side of me.. :)

Blowing flower petals in slow mo just for Chriz to try out the shutter speed.

With the sun getting brighter, hotter, we decided that it's time to leave.

The thought of going down and up again

for the second time did crossed my mind,

but Vince and Chriz is not up for it.

Delvise and Lim (Vince's colleagues) climb up three times that morning!

That's to prep themselves to hike up Mount KK next month.

*salute*

The dizzy dizzy effect while looking down.

 Saw a man bring up some sugarcane, and a few woman was helping him.

I was thinking...

 "Why so many people have to help him carry the thin looking sugarcane?"

Then we saw that there's a baby wrapped in a yellow cloth and

the cloth was tied onto the sugarcanes.

Asked my Indian friends and they told me that this ritual is performed

if a woman have difficulty in conceiving, and have vowed to the God that she will

fulfill her vow to bring the baby up, if the God blesses her with a child.

I'm very much amazed seeing this ritual.

May God bless the mother, and the child, not forgetting their relatives

who offer helping hand to carry the baby up to the 272th stairs.

I hope to learn and see more of other culture.

Myself, being a Chinese, is unsure about Chinese culture actually.

Made our way down in no time!

No sweat!

Mission accomplished!

YAY!!!

Top 5 photo editing apps for android

Hi there!

With everyone having smart phones, androids, iPhones, being vain is inevitable.

Yes I'm vain too at times. What you expect? I'm a girl... duh....

With all the photos taken, there are some that I don't like to share it "raw".

It needs certain enhancement.

To cover up my panda eyes... pimples.. (yes all my imperfections).. To adjust the lighting.. To enhance the mood.. And many more!

There are a few photo editor that I commonly use in my Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPod.

But I'm just gonna talk about the Top 5 app that I love using.

------------------------------------

First essential photo editing app in my phone is..

 

1) PICK

It allow me...

a) To look great!

I love using the effects!

Using the right effect on certain photos eliminates fine lines, wrinkles, makes your skin looked smoother, and it added artistic value in the piece of work!

I personally love using effects such as Calm, Vintage, Toy, Tender, Romance & Memories.



Romance



 

Antique



 

Vintage



b) To celebrate!

There's special edition during celebration like Christmas, Valentines Day etc...

With the frames and stamps, you can always make an e-greeting card with it!

 



A Valentine's Day wishes for my buddy who stood by me thru thick and thin,
and still sticking around seeing the worst side of me.



c) To perform a virtual complete make over!

It's more to like cartoonize myself, but ain't this cute...???

You get to choose your hair too! 







BEFORE

   

AFTER




2) PHOTOSHAKE

This app is used for photos compilation. It caters up to 8 photos in a frame.

I like that Photoshake allow us adjust the gap between photos, and the frames. 

Also we can play around with the edge of the photos. 

Not to mention alot of frame shapes...  

3) PHOTO GRID

Photogrid is another great tools to use!

It's similar as Photoshake, but it caters up to 9 photos!

And there are more layout patterns to choose from.

It also has additional function to rotate, zoom in and out, and tilt any desired photos after being put into the frame.

Comes with colorful background too...

 

This is a 9 photos frame. Could use colorful background but I didn't
want it to look messy coz the photos are colorful enough.



4) FOTORUS

This app is Photoshake & Photogrid alike, the difference is, it caters only up to 4 photos.

What's so good about this app since it caters lesser than the previous app?

The photos layout is different.

Look at this photo of me in gold palazzo pants jumpsuit.

Notice how the right frame is bigger than the left one?

Photoshake and Photogrid does not have this function.

But Fotorus offers very limited choice of frame you could use though.

Compiled using Fotorus and wording added using Phonto



Photos are first edited using PICK, then FOTORUS to
put into frame, btw, I snapped a white wall and made it into a photo as background,
and that's where I used PICK again for the Valentine's stamp into the white background.
A specially made Valentine's Day card made for someone I could still call my BEST FRIEND till now!
Loveeee youuuu!!!



5) PHONTO

Last but not least, an app that you could use to add in wordings.

With selection of fonts, Phonto is very useful to add, edit, change size, tilt writings.

So well, have fun exploring with all the recommended apps!!!
