Sg. Pelek, Sepang

A shot of the seaside

Some of our young adults leaders gone for a short retreat to Sg. Pelek for the New Year break. Sg. Pelek is located about 1 hour drive from Subang Jaya. From Subang Jaya, we took the Elite highway through KLIA way towards Sepang. This trip is organised through a travel agent there, where meals and accommodation are included.

The first thing we did when we arrived is eat! The tour guide took us to for Bak Kut Teh for lunch, according to him that place is a very popular place. They serve the soup and dry BKT, all of us were very hungry as the time is about 2pm when we arrived.

The dry one

The Soupy one

I felt the taste was so so only, not that impressive overall is okay. After lunch we proceed to the mushroom farm for a short tour. The farm is not at the place where we went but they packing and retail is at the mushroom factory.

Low tide, beach side just next to the mushroom farm

After visiting the mushroom farm, we went back to the bungalow to rest and wait for our BBQ dinner. While waiting, we went to visit a church friend who just stay across the road. We chit chat, had coconut juice, dragon fruit and many other stuff our friend served us. The kids played shooting for basket ball, everyone had fun just doing nothing.

At about 6.30pm, we went back to our bungalow to freshen up and wait for the rest of the gang to come for dinner.

Dinner, Part I

Dinner Part II, sweet corn & sweet potato

The wings tasted good

BBQ crabs, though the crabs was small but it tasted very sweet.

We sang some songs while waiting for dinner part II, it was really fun!

Everyone enjoyed themselves, even the kids had great fun too!

The tour guide took us for noodle breakfast the next day, he recommended the rojak noodle which is the signature dish there.

Noodle stall.. doesn't have a name

The rojak noodle

Clear soup noodle

Dry noodle, their noodles are home made

Curry Laksa, tasted alright.

The noodles tasted okay, the rojak noodle is quite unique, tasted a bit sweet.

We had a group devotion after that, watched a short video and prayed. We also took a group photo near the lake.

We proceeded for lunch after that.

Crispy Chicken

Oh Jian, oyster pancake. Very different style, tasted good

Steam fish.. very fresh!

Buttermilk prawns, tasted good and fresh too

We went to see the Golden Palm Tree Water villas, quite interesting layout

Very interesting recycle area

It was indeed a fun filled trip with loads of laughter, fellowship and of course eating!

Located opposite SDMC (formerly known as SJMC)

Entrance

We went to Tomoe Japanese Restaurant for my parent's 34 wedding anniversary. We were contemplating where to eat even after leaving the house, all of us likes Japanese food besides my mom who is not that fond of raw stuff but of course Japanese food also come with cooked food.

For some reason, this particular street has got 5 Japanese Restaurant, like a Japanese street. I have been to the other 4 but have not been to Tomoe before. The place was quite packed when we arrived, we were directed to the 1st floor. This restaurant is big, there is about 4 tatami room upstairs and the open area can fit about 10 more tables.

We were quite greedy and ordered a 'few' dishes.

Garlic Rice

Can't remember the name of this, but its rice with sashimi and egg.

Miso Soup

Soft shell crab salad, this was really good!

Tempura assortment

Sushi roll with a twist of asian flavour. They added some chilli padi in the roll, this was really good, a must try

Don't know if you can see what's being wrapped or not.. :)

Macha ice-cream with red bean

Black sesame seed ice-cream, nice but quite costly RM10/scoop same for the macha ice-cream too but it's really creamy, smooth and nice.

Wasabi

Soya sauce, chilli flakes, tooth picks

Will definitely revisit this place again. :)

Almond Slice Cookies Recipe

Posted by JP Kom comments (0)

Making these almond slice cookies is an annual affair for me. My relatives sort of 'expect' this in their gift bag for CNY every year. I first made them when I was studying in the US and have been making them since.

Ingredients:

100g Castor sugar

100g whole almond

1 egg

160g butter

270g flour

Steps:-

(Soak almond in water for about 20min, air dried set aside for use later)

1) Cream butter and sugar until white and fluffy

2) Add in and beat till well mixed

3) Add flour in and mix well then add in almond. I added some sunflower seeds.

4) Once mixed well, put dough in a tray, press tightly to shape and put in the freezer till its harden.

5) Cut the big dough into rectangular size and slice about 3-5mm thickness, lay one greased pan. Bake in 180C for 20minutes or until golden brown.

The top tray is a new tray, the bottom one has been baked for about 10min

Crunchy and tasty! :)

Frontage

After church service on Christmas treated myself with a nice lunch. For some reason western food is associated with Christmas, I guess Italian is considered as western.

We went to Pizza Uno, a joint that I have not been to for a longest time. They only have special menu for Christmas and New Year. Here are what we ordered.
