My Thoughts
This 2-discs album is MADE-OF-GOLD! It consists 31 golden Chinese New Year Songs, by China Legendary Song Birds from the 40s - 70s. My mother used to play most of these tracks, when I was a kid on cassette. Finally EMI reproduced them again in CD.

So emo, when I saw this at the local CD store!

IMO... this is a must buy Chinese New Year Music Collection!!!

It's EPIC!!!

Ho Ho Steamboat

When it comes to steamboat, we always pick Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant. Simply because the food is fresh, tasty and reasonable pricing.

We used to travel all the way to Sri Petaling for this nice steamboat, however, we no longer do that, because they have a new branch at Kota Damansara.

utensils









My thoughts:
Normally, if it's only the 2 of us, we'll order the mininal set, with extra dumpling, meatballs, and "UFOs".

ingredients







Right after you put all the food into the steamboat, don't forget to add a little bit of the sesame oil.

Sesame Oil with fried onion

this will make the soup and the food smells & taste good.

And it always go with a pot of tea. For our choice, we normally go for jesmine tea or tie guan yin.

Facts:
Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant is probably the first and only steamboat restaurant that has a website. There are currently 4 outlets in Klang Valley, you can locate their outlets here.

To find out more, you can visit - www.steamboat.com.my.

Restoran Hoppy 好比 @ SS2

Restoran Hoppy 好比 is quite a well-known shop at SS2, due to it's famous landmark -





Hoppy 好比 the giant duck - a well known landmark in SS2.

However, please do not judge Restoran Hoppy 好比, by it's bold marketing act. This shop actually serves good food.






Restoran Hoppy 好比

My thoughts:
Beside single person meal or a lar carte, there are a few variety of Set Meals on the menu, catering for small, medium and larger crowd.

For us, we had Set A for lunch, over the weekend, just nice for 2 person.







Set A is actually cater for 2-3 persons. And it comes with 1 portion of duck, 1 portion of chicken, 1 plate of vege, 1 bowl of soup, 1 plate of minced meat tofu, and 2-3 rice.

so how's the food?
Well, see for youself...


wildchild can really eat... -_-"


Riceman FTW!!!


winter melon herbal tea (cold)

Facts:
I'm more of a chicken person than duck. However, Hoppy 好比's duck is really delicious. One of my favourite place to eat duck. The duck is marinated with Chinese herbs, and it tastes and smells good (if u like Chinese herbs). I can just order 1 bowl of the duck gravy, and go with 5 bowls of rice.

Facts:
When I was staying in Bangsar many years ago, this is where I had my dinner every night. Therefore, I'm very grateful to this shop, without them, I would have died from fast food in Bangsar. >_<

This shop also have another name refer and known to friends around me - Hill of Siu Keong 小強山. You probably wonder why? Afterall, Siu Keong 小強 is refering to cockroach. Well, many years ago, when I was staying in Bangsar. A very generous+kind colleague of mine - Jess T (who always offer me a ride to buy dinner), before she drives home, gave me a ride again.

While we were waiting for my dinner in the car, suddenly we realised some activities going on, on the little slope in front of us. And Jess T turn on the head lights, only to witness the most incredible natural phenomena ever in our lifetime. There were thousands of Siu Keongs partying on that small hill. Literally the entire hill was like moving. NO KIDDING!!!

I didn't make this up... IT'S REAL!!! (I wished I had a digital camera back then.) Pleaes ask Jess T next time you see her?
^0^

I believed that happened due to the climate/weather, after all, insects or animals have a better senses to the nature. I'm not sure what did they sense, however, it's definitely not a rave party back there.

Ever since that incident, this place is known to me and my friends as Hill of Siu Keong 小強山.
