Sitiawan, Perak

Sitiawan is primarily known for rubber, palm oil, fishing and ship building. Not much in the way of tourist attractions, but it is near the port of Lumut where traveller can board a ferry to the resort island of Pangkor.
There is a famous old shop which selling Gong Pian. The shop is swamped with the locals to buy the biscuits. Every customers will buy at least min 10 pc. If you're late, and you insist to try it, then you have to be patient to wait for it. Good thing doesn't come easy huh!

We arrived at about 10.30am. The biscuit is almost sold out. So we waited another 15min, in order to get some fresh and hot biscuit fron the oven. In the mean time, i just walk around to snap some shots of the making of Gong pian.
All about hand make, instead of using modern technology. The crispy biscuit filled with chopped unions sell at 60cents/pc.

Mooncake Festival at the roof top

One month ago, my two bosses suggested to have a party for the staffs in conjuction with Mooncake Festival in September. Therefore, i prepared the necessary things to get his approval. Of course the most exciting news for the staffs is, the boss agreed to give lucky draw in cash. Wow..that's really exciting where everyone aiming for the highest amount of the night.

That night, we organised it at the roof top. Hoping that there will be no rain, but unfortunately, it rains in the evening. The party is still carry on in the drizzling rain.
Buffet dinner is served. Thumbs up for the food. It's delicious. Every body enjoyed their "food mountain" on the plate, completed the meal with ais kacang and air bandung.

I reminded all to bring their own lanterns. Hah! guess which one is mine?...hehe...CJ7! too bad, i have no chance to carry it ..too busy!

After the sumptuos dinner, is time for fun. As usual, the staffs are shy to participate the fun games. Due to the attractive prizes give away, they go for it. We laughed all the way to see the participants busy with the strings inside their shirts.Is time to show your lantern. There are 75 of them, carrying lantern to go round.


The most excited moment where Lucky draw of cash prizes give away.
Every staffs are entitled to a cash prize, but it depends on how much they can get. Of coz the last name to be called will be the grand prize winner. So that, we hope that our names will not be called so soon. Same as me! But .....sad thing is my "buddy" Michael drawed my name from the bowl.
From there, Michael's nightmare starts after i kicked him hardly with my high heel. I swear, i don't want befriend with him anymore! coz i lost the chance to get the grand prize. There it is the grand prize winner of RM500 cash. A Malay collegues from Warehouse department. My boss proudly presented the prize to him. Congratulations!
My boss promised to give all staffs a get together trip this year end. So now, we are planning for that. Seeing all staffs enjoy the event, i feel satisfied.

Food Gossip 1- Dunkin Donuts., Ampang, Dragon-i, Sushi Zanmai, Zhong Yuan fish head

Dunkin Donuts:

I remembered when i was young, we ate donuts too. That time, one donut cost about 30 cents. Now, people are crazy about Big Apple Donuts, JCO Donuts and Dunkin Donuts.

I don't fancy of donut anyway, but i tried Big Apple donuts, wao...now they even invented into many flavours.





Ampang:
I like the pandan chicken wings (RM2.2/pc).






Dragon-i: The Curve

After a busy shopping day in IKEA, i joined my family at the Dragon-i restaurant. I ordered mango dessert for my lunch. It's yummy!!




Sushi Zanmai : The Garden
I like having japanese food in Sushi Zanmai. This is my 4th times here, with my family. I want them to try one of the best japanese restaurant in town.






Long time didn't see my mum. She lose weight a lot. Mum, please eat more!! She ordered the teppanyaki cod fish. It's a good choice.


After that, i want them to try the green tea dessert coz this is my best choice.



Zhong Yuan Steamed Fish Head: Chan Sow Lin

When talk about fish head, one must try this one in Chan Sow Lin. This place is packed with fish head lovers everydays, especially lunch hours.


This is the boss! He is the main chef who prepare the steamed fish head. He is friendly and cheerful. Every time i go, i must have to say hi to him, otherwise he will tease me for not calling him.




Chilis- One Utama

This is the 3rd time i dined in Chilies. I don't like western food coz the portion normalli is too big for me and i can't finish. No doubt, the food overall is good!
