Restoran Ole Sayang, Malacca

Baba referred to guy, whereas nyonya referred to female. Baba Nyonya derived from union between chinese (non-local) and local malay.

My grandma's mum was a nyonya. Thus, my mother able to learn some nyonya dishes from my grandma. I didn't know the food that I used to love are a kind of nyonya food, till I grew up.

Came to Malacca, definitely got to try some local cuisine apart from visiting historical sites. Nyonya food is one of the choices that you should't miss.

My brother decided to bring us to try on this restaurant. Frankly, I wasn't attracted by the design, it wasn't catchy. Since my brother recommended it, we went for it.

亲切 could refer as hospitality or friendly. However, the waitress didn't seem very friendly to us. The reason could be it was almost their off time, and also the restaurant was crowded with people.


After waited quite some time, our food finally being served. The portion was quite small, to serve 6 of us. We had to order more dishes.

I love rice to be prepared with pandan leaf. It increased the fragrance of rice. It tasted more delicious.

Cha cai - mixture of vegetables. The main vegetable is cabbage. Personally, I like this dish. The vegetable was soft, and easily chewed.

Fried egg tasted normal. My style of eating fried egg is to put on some sweet soya sauce. It made the egg yummy.

Sambal prawn was normal too. The prawns' size is small, and the sambal was not spicy.

Pong Teh with chicken was good. The sauce was gravy and chicken was tender. But, it was a bit salty for me. It is my favorite dish since young, my mum can cook well too.

Salted duck soup. The meat was soft, but the soup was kinda salty.

The asam fish's sauce is worth trying. But I disliked the fish with so much of bones.

Otak-otak, specialty of Muar. We ordered it, it tasted delicious.

Last but not least, the cendol wasn't up to expectation. It was too sweet. The red bean and the green grass weren't seemed fresh.

The bill came with RM160++. We found it too expensive, and not really worth it. The food quality is normal and food portion is small. The ambience is still not bad.

Anyway, here it goes the address

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Look Out Point, Ampang

To see Kuala Lumpur nightview, familiar people will tell you to go Look Out Point, Ampang. Cold breeze on your face, indeed refreshing your mind of a day, in provided that the surrounding is quiet. Look out the view from the tower, numerous of yellow lights like stars shining on you. The most attractive point will be KLCC. A romantic place to be, for couples. Please bring a camera, if not the view can't really be seen (like my photo above). It is best to calm yourself down, by looking at the night view. The surrounding is dim, and you could just be yourselves, without bothering anyone around you. The first time, I came with a down feeling, thus I felt better to do the same. There is few restaurants there. We tried Bread and Olives, as recommanded by my friends. The drink was so-so. The hot chocolate like milo, and the nescafe also like milo. Hot drink is not hot enough. Haha. But, most important thing is to get yourself a good seating to enjoy the night view. We ordered this. Thin ...
