Terengganu, reason to visit: during tea time (the last part)

assalamualaikum, and good day! :)

You know when i was younger, mum always tease me for being choosy towards some people and state. As an example, i told the whole world i was born and grown up in KL, and i am a pure KL ppl. (poyo gila, i know). i dislike the fact that i'm a mix blood of Chinese (Kelantan) and Malay (Terengganu). I was shocked and uncomfortable when i was 1st enter MRSM Kuala Lipis, years ago, because most of the people came from Terengganu and Kelantan. it was just me, grown up in a town BUT one thing for sure, i do respect all of them. and it turns the other way later on, they began to like me as i began to love them :)

But the fact is in my blood, no matter what i said or did, would not change the world. I'm a Kelantanese, with a mix of Terengganu, and this one thing that you could obviously see is my taste in choosing traditional kuih and breakfast. I love akok, kerabu (all kinds of kerabu -- perut, mangga, sotong, kerang, etc), laksam, bahulu, and all sort of we called it "kuih orang tua". Every year, every each year, we went back to dad's hometown to celebrate Aidilfitri, or sometime Chinese New Year, i did choose the best attire to wear. most of the time, i prefer to wear baju kurung. the strongest reason is, i just really do respect the people and both states which we do know as the most religious states in Malaysia.

i remember when i was 15, i went to Pasar Siti Khadijah, with baju kurung. i was pissed off and sad, a little to see some of the teenagers, the pure Kelantanese, now become mat rempit and some of the girls even wear a very short sleeve shirt, with tudung. i was like, "oh come onnn, can u at least, give a little respect towards your tudung or state?" pfttt. YES, that WAS me by that time, i hate to be there, but i do resepct them. but now, everything is change. I got like hundreds of friends from both states, which are very nice, and polite. :)

okay, i'm way beyond the main topic. as i told before, i went to Terengganu to attend a wedding ceremony of my relative. like, 2 pupu, which is mum's cousin, daughter. and, people, this is the food!

gulai, KERABU PERUT, ayam percik. ohhmegodd, i ate as much as i could. :P


we took few family pictures, rest for a few moments, and then get ready to drove back to Kuantan. on my way to Kuantan, abah decided to use the other road where you could see the view of the blue sea all the way back. which is very nice. :)

i was sleepy. it was a hot sunny day, yet tiring. and my stomach is full. i could shut down my wire anytime :P


this is my sleepy face. :P


.....suddenly, mum decided to stopped by at Marang, since i wanna have a fresh coconut drink. and yes, dah semangat balik! ngee.

if you ask me hundred years later, i would still answer HER as the woman i love the most.


ABAH, it's you! (i know u're reading this :P)
someday i'll get married with my prince, but u will always be my king!


mama simply amazed by the view and the wind. look at the blue sea!


fresh coconut with ice - RM 3 each.


fresh ikan kembung, you could choose a variety of fish.


and yes, all time faberetttt, sotong goreng tepung!!! :D


see, how tempting the foods are and the sea is, that i could still eat even though my stomach is full. it looks like my tummy could co-operate and give some empty space for this tea time :P

aaaa. really can't wait for Hari Raya. going to hunt for more food! till then, take care ppl!

red velvet, macaroons, and tau fu chicken with rice, all in a day.

as a food lover, i always have this kind of feeling when i will usually have an unusual level of food craving which could contribute to madness. hyperbole, i know :P but it is kinda true. i have a season of M&M craving, maggie goreng craving, Strawberry Rocky craving, yedda yedda, as time passed by. and I've been wanting to eat cupcakes, for quite a few months! and yesterday, around 2am, yes it was 2 in the morning, i took my phone and typed "naiya, esok 10am LRT damai". naek LRT je derrr, kanak-kanak riang lagi.

and i woke up, and the next thing i know, i was walking in KLCC at 1030am! semangat kan! we were heading straight to Harrods since Naiya was craving for macaroons since ages! but then, macaroons tu still lagi dlm proses pembikinan! so, going upstairs, another 2 floors, and we ate cucpakes first! huh, RM5 each. but, u know, because i want it so badlyyy, i dont care much about the price.

before ni, i was wondering my entire life, how does Red Velvet taste like?
and it was, PERFECTTTTT, TEMPTING, with that cheesy icing cream. oh gosh.


we actually couldnt wait any longer!


but yes, we have to taste every single bite of it lah kan, memandangkan ia SEDAP!


see, i told ya, we finished it all in a blink of an eye. with a face of satisfaction :P


it was like a 2 hours of eating. we were just talking, walking around, eat eat eat eat eat. lepas tu rase mcm nak makan ayam penyet, tapi nak makan nasi dlm kuali juga. pusing lagi satu foodcourt. last-last naiya pun ikut sama makan nasi dlm kuali. :P


mine - tau fu chicken. my no1 fav menu in KLCC's food court.


naiya's - cantonese kuey teow.


and finally we went to Harrods again, for the third time. Even the chef could recognize us and thank us for being patience to wait for the macaroons. he did mentioned about the price before, 6pieces = RM 15 and now currently increasing to 6pieces = RM 18. yup, mahal kan? tapi tak pelah demi kepuasan hati supaye tidak lagi menjerit jerit di status FB dan tidak lagi mengigau ketika tidur.

so we picked each flavor each and went out to the park!


they were just too adorable. macam dorayaki doraemon!


naiya's truly excitement face.


macaroons are too cute, and yet, too sweet. :P


and we went home around 1pm. i went straight to pertama complex & sogo with mama, abah & kma. and lastly, teman kma pergi shah alam. sampai rumah rasa penat nak mati TAPI puas hati nak mati dapat makan semua ni, tapi serius aa, teringat-ingat cupcakes & macaroons! i want moreeeee.

biggest reunion.... EVER

pernah dengar restoran Intai-Intai? aku pernah. Last 2009, pernah lah pergi survey dgn kwn-kwn kolej. Ingat nak shooting dkt sana. tp owner dia tak de plak time tu. Restoran ni name die intai-intai sebab die mmg tersorok. jadi perlulah intai-intai kalau nak cari. bayangkanlah, di tengah permulaan MRR2, di sebalik bengkel-bengkel semua, rupanya ada restoran siap ada tasik dgn music band lagi. Makanan dia, memang best- best. Kawan cakap, kalau bulan puasa, memang sentiasa fully booked.

Oh apa kene mengene dgn reunion? well well well. Abah cakap, ada reunion family yg area KL, so maybe ada 2-3 keluarga je. so i was expecting, just about 2-3 tables. with those relatives yg tak berapa nak kenal. kecuali mak cik ida + pak cik pian. nasib baik aku ajak kma + kak sally sepupu aku yg sentiase di sisi nih. sekali, sampai sampai, tengok-tengok ada En. Baha sambut. En. Baha akademi fantasia tuh!

sekali, encik Baha nih, owner Intai-Intai daa.
sekali dia 2 pupu abah daaa.


and ye, siap ada BANNER okay! it wasn't a small reunion. it's a BIG reunion.


Intai-Intai. Malam tadi menu buffet masakan timur. TERBAEK.


and you know what, bukan 2-3 tables. but...
the WHOLE restaurant. yes, again, the whole restaurant.


so ternganga lah aku dan kma dan kak sally.
sambil tu usha stall kuih-muih melayu yg pelbagai.


kita org duduk betol-betol center. and, mmg tak kenal orang lain tu.
tu blh nampak refelction dari air tasik.


siap ada kambing golek. LICIN.
sebab ade lah dlm lebih 20 tables kot.


ada laksam. nasi kerabu. nasi dagang.


tempat die mmg cantik. konsep dia, decorations.


sebenarnya kak sally suruh ckp, lampu atas kepala dia tuh,
cahaya keimanan :P


kma dgn rambut perm baru.
tahu tak kematu punggung duduk tunggu die 3 jam dkt saloon!


mama dah hilang pergi borak.
so ajak abah balik sebab da kenyang. HAHA.


lepas tu, round round KL kejap. and balik... kalau tahu En Baha ni sedara jugak, dah lame mintak kerja awal-awal dekat astro ke. ape ke. haha. okayyy pd sesiapa yg tak pernah makan dkt intai-intai tuh, pergilah. cantik + makanan best. sila google sebab tataw camne nak explain. :P

TA DAA. pakcik kenny ayam golek sedap!


tapi sebelum aku gelojoh, aku nak cakap pasal semalam dulu. semalam aku kuar dgn BF aku, pastu an dia dah on the way ambik aku baru dia cakap nak gi Melaka sekali dengan family dia. Memula aku cam kelam kabut juga sebab last minute an, tapi sebab aku baru nak jumpa dia minggu ni since dia makin bz dah final sem, aku pun setuju je sebab ingatkan gerak awal. sekali an, kita orang sempat melantak, sempat gi carwash dalam mesin ada berus bulu-bulu automatik, sempat gi beli barang dapur lagi *eceh*. tak de ah, aku gi beli ceklat untuk anak buah dia je.

pastu dalam kul 6 camtu baru kita orang gerak, family dia termasuk suami & anak2 dua orang kakak dia - along & angah. sampai dah 9 lebih, pastu an siap berdiri lagi nak tunggu seat, macam pisang goreng panas. last-last, air dah habis 2 jugs, kuaci dah habis telan, akhirnya penantian tu memang berbaloi-baloi! kte orang dapat makan ikan bakar, udang, sotong, kepah kot, ketam. dari sudu dengan garfu, terus aku makan dengan tangan lah an. tapi memang puas hati gile! time pergi aku tak tidur, time balik tersengguk-sengguk aku tidur. haha. habis makan, terus balik KL & sampai rumah memang terus aku membuta. okay TQVM utk namin, auntie, uncle, along, angah semua! :)

OKAY BACK TO THE TOPIC,
kita orang berempat anak dara ni gi ah JJ dekat rumah aku ni gi makan. excited gila aku sebab aku rasa lama gilaaaaa aku tak makan sini. dulu last adalah waktu Finaz balik Malaysia tahun lepas.


Photobucket
mentang-mentang ada WiFi an, kak sally & auntie aku apa lagi.
auntie aku yang ni memang aku panggil auntie je.


Photobucket
wanita paling aku sayang di dunia, tiada ragu lagi.


tunggu punya tunggu, tak de la lama mana pun, sambil tu duk borak la gelak dekat orang. Cerita tentang nenek aku. Aku panggil cik. Tak silap aku memang orang Terengganu camtu. sambil tu aku duk intai-intai mana lah menu aku tak sampai lagi. muahahaha.

lepas tu sampaiiiiiiiiii. bukan main sengih aku, sampai aku makan berapa suap dah baru aku teringat nak ambik gambar. tskk. menu favorite aku semestinya lah ayam black pepper dia. paling aku suka tahu nape, sebab side dishes dia boleh pilih 3 + muffin lagi!!!


Photobucket
muffin aku mesti la yang ceklat :)


Photobucket
tengok menu aku, dah comot sebab aku dah makan dulu baru ambik gambar.


aku makan memang licin lah, puas hati if ada sesiapa berniat bawa aku makan buffet :P puas hati dapat makan tadi, Alhamdulilah. Harga Kenny Roger's ni tak de lah mahal gila, just air je mahal sikit dengan tax dia. goverment tax 10%, service charge 5% - tax je RM 16 tadi. perghhhhh. apakah? leh tak aku nak kedai makanan bebas cukai? :(

okay aku dah ngantuk gila, till then, sweet dream, buhbye!
