This days, I seldom golf elsewhere except at my home course @ SGCC. Play @ home course save money!!!. Last week, my friend invited me to played at Kelab Recreasi Tentera Utara (KRTU) which is located at the air force base in Subang Airport and I gladly accepted it. Travelling there is very easy and very accessable. My friends waited for me at one of the coffeshop for lunch before we head to the golf course. Our tee off time was 12:30pm.

The course. It is a very tight cow grass course and the green are very undulating. The course set up is pretty challenging.

First time playing there, I played quite well with a score of 91. Not too bad.

During the recent Saujana GCC September 08 Monthly Medals Tournament, I played very well to be the "C" Medal Champion. This is the 1st time that I managed to be among the Top 3 although I had won a few ball sweeps since I started to participate in the monthly tournament last year.

For being the "C" Medal Champion, I won Pan West Vouchers worth RM350.00.


I hope to maintain my current form and aim to be in the top 2 in this coming Oct 2008 Monthly Medal.

My regular fish head noodles shop is at SS 20 Damansara Kim which I blogged about last year. Click here.

When I was at Dataran Sunway for the Chilly Pan mee, I noticed this impressive two shop lots HomeMade Fish Head Noodles. I went there two weeks ago but it was closed for some renovations.

Today, I had some banking at UOB so I dropped by to taste the fish head noodles.

The interior decor and ambiance is very soothing and nice with green colour as the main theme.

Below are the menus showing their signature noodles. Many choices.



My friend ordered the Deep fried Fish Head Noodles @ RM8.50/bowl.

And I tried the Fresh Fish Paste Yee Mee. Also RM8.50/bowl.

Chilly sauce to go with the noodles.

The fishhead noodles are delicious and the brooth very tasty. You can choose to have more milk, moderate milk or without milk.

During my recent trip to JB, I check out this Hock Chew Fish Ball & Abalone Noodles which is very crowded whenever I passed by when I am at Skudai area.

This time, I stopped by to try their noodles since it seem to be very popular with the residents here. It is located opposite the Shell Petrol station and on the same row at the magnum 4d shop.


We were there at around 4pm so not so crowded.

One bowl of fish noodles @ RM5.00/bowl and if you add abalone another RM20.00 per piece of abolone. One can 5pcs @ RM88.00. I just ordered the normal ones.

This is the normal mixed seafood noodles which I ordered. Delicious the soup is very tasty. You will noticed that there is a big pot beside the stall where they boiled the soup.

And my son ordered the dry mee with fishball soup.

With the recent passing away of my beloved mother in law, every one of us in the family will definitely going to miss her dearly. We will no longer be able to spend of coming festivals with her especially during Chinese New Year where we normally celebrate at her home every year without fail. This coming Chinese New Year, we will have to made other plans. I found this poem by Joanna Fuchs which is very appropriate and meaningful.

Why named it “Fu Kua”.? Fu Kua which means Bitter Gourd in Chinese as they serve many different type of dishes with bitter gourd. The menu list list very long and you should be trying those that cooked with Fu Ku. The most recommended one must be the Famous Soup Bitter Gourd.


The business is pretty good as it was crowded and people waiting outside.

Even the five foot way also full.

Look at this huge menu on the wall.

This is the famous bitter gourd soup with thin slices of fu kua, pork slices, pork meatballs, chicken slices, ginger slices and tomatoes. Yummylicious. This bowl of soup at RM9.00.

Sweet and Sour Fish slice. Delicious and the fish slices was crispy. RM10.00.

Celery fried with Roasted Pork. RM10.00

The food here are good and reasonably priced. I will be back to try some of the other Bitter Gourd dishes like chow fu kua with taucu yu, pork feet fu kua, fu kua eggs etc. And they also served friend fu kua noodles.

With the mushrooming of hypermarkets at every major townships, is wet market still the place to go for your weekly marketing. I used to shop at Carrefour, Subang Jaya or Giant, USJ but not anymore. I prefer Pasar Malam or traditional Wet Market where the produce are much freshier and cheaper.

My weekly marketing destination with my family is the Sunday Pasar Malam (Night Market) @ Paramount Garden. Once in a while, I will dropped by the Old Town Wet Marketing when I am around the area. This morning after visiting my favorite Pan Mee shop at Sri Sentosa, we went there for our marketing.

Old Town Wet Market, I beleive is the oldest market in Petaling Jaya. We were there around 11am after the peak hour and the market is not so crowded.

I find wet market better not just for the prices but more varieties as you can choose from the many stalls. Of course, some people do not like the wet market because they are not so clean and organised.



Beef Stall

Fish Stall



Vege stall

And all of them sell fresh and reasonably priced produce. With the rising cost of living, I would rather shop at Pasar Malam or Wet market.

During the recent recent Home Living fair, I bought a GE Water Filter for my new house as I will be moving in in December, 2008.

There are so many different brands in the market that it can be a difficult to choose which one to buy. Finally, I decided on this GE Water Filter @ RM1,788 with discount of 20% and free installation and water tank wash. So more, I can pay by 12 month interest free by UOB Card.

It is quite common for people this days to inctall a water filter so that we get the cleanest water possible for our healthy living. This is how is look like after installtion.

I had blog about this restaurant in the past. (Click here and here )

Yesterday, my friend invited me for lunch here. So I left for Klang from Kelana Jaya around 12noon. Since I have been there twice, I requested my friend to place the order for some new dishes that I have never tried before. He ordered all new dishes except the fried lala meehoon which is a must when you dine here.


Below are the dishes that I savoured over lunch with my friends and catch up on the latest about the economy, politics, travel etc.

The steamed fish (They named it Yee Wong) is yummy and must be eaten when it is still warm.

This is their signature dish, Lala Meehoon. The 1st dish to be cleaned up as all of us love this dish.

This Fried Mushroom is just okay and some leftover. If you dont like mushroom, dont go for it.

This one is fried fish intestines with eggs. Not too bad. Something different.

This salted fried chicken is very delicious. The chicken is small in size(not sure whether it is kampung chicken).

For dessert, we had the Klang pineapples which is very sweet and juicy. And we had dragon fruit too which I forgot to take pictures.

Since my friend treat me, I do not know how much each dish costs.
