Or maybe people have been doing this all the while and I just discovered it…*grin*
There’s a stall that sells really nice tau foo fa near my office. I’ve been eating it at least once, if not twice or thrice, per week.
Today, I asked the seller to add tau cheong sui (soyabean drink) into the tau foo fa…and it tastes so much better than just the soya beancurd by itself (which is already really nice to begin with!)…

Friday night
Dinner at Maredo’s steakhouse @ Telawi, Bangsar, where I had their marvellous pasta with prawns, mushrooms and beef bacon, while hubby had the Oxtail Stew.
Watched Babel at night…the story is interesting, though abit draggy. I have to agree with most of the reviews…the part of the show that’s set in Tokyo is the most sad and disturbing one among all the others!
Saturday
Had Jackson’s hot dog and chicken burger for lunch…yummy!
This guy has been around for ages…my parents used to buy the hot dogs for me after my swimming lessons at a pool nearby when I was really really young! His hot dogs are seriously old school…buttered bun that’s lightly toasted on the inside, a sausage, cucumber, onions, chilli or tomato sauce and mustard.
Oh, and you can ask for a fried egg to go with your hot dog as well! I haven’t had this in ages, and it still tastes really good! Usually, his stall is located outside his house (it’s actually a van), but I’ve seen him and his van at house parties before. I think he’s been feature in KLUE before as well!
[Edit: I dug out my old issues of KLUE and Jackson's hot dogs were feature in the June 2005 issue. According to the article, he has been around for 43 years...imagine that! The first stall was run by his brother in Taman Jaya, and the current guy picked the business up from him in 1973. Oh, and apparently, the man, Jackson, doesn't really exist...hehe...this guy's name is Han Ah Juan! He and his wife doesn't seem to age at all...they look the same as they used to when I used to eat these hot dogs as a kid!]
Spent the rest of the afternoon lazing around at home…
As for dinner, I&J were down from Ipoh, so we had dinner with them and O&J and their lovely lovely baby, Chloe, at Nong & Jimmys. Between the six of us, we had butter prawns, crabs, two types of vege, a huge plate of fried rice, cockles, BBQ stingray, tomyam soup, and the sinful yau char kway with kaya. The bill came up to RM25 per person…talk about cheap and good food!
After dinner, they adjourned to our place where J had fun taking photos of baby Chloe with our cameras, while I&J had a go at the Wii! Soon, both O&J were also taking turns at the Wii, while I contentedly sat on the couch carrying Chloe…she’s sooooo adorable, I tell ya!
Sunday
Woke up to a rainy rainy Sunday morning…it would’ve been nice to sleep in, but we had planned to have breakfast at Delicious…so off we went! Bought some magazines, sat outside enjoying the cool air, and had our breakfast while listening to the pitter patter of the raindrops.
Spent the afternoon playing Zelda: Twilight Princess, watched a movie (Griffin & Phoenix - typical tearjerker where both protagonists have cancer and fall in love with each other), lazed around and basically wasted the whole day away…*grin*
For dinner, we decided to try a new place called Mama Chops Papa Grills at Alam Suria (it’s opposite Damansara Lagenda, you can see it as you go along the NKVE towards Subang). I think the main branch is in Subang near the old airport (and next to the famous La La Chong), but since this was nearer, we thought…why not give it a try?
The food served there is typical old school chicken/lamb chops, etc. I don’t know how new the place is, but we were the only ones there! The food is so-so only…quite disappointing as I was expecting something along the quality of the food at Ipoh Swimming Club! Hubby had beef soup, while I had mushroom soup in a bun. While the bun was really nice, the soup was way too watery. For mains, hubby ordered…darn…I can’t remember the name of the dish, but it’s fried chicken with gravy together with a sausage and cheese bun thingy and fries, etc. He said it was just ok.
As for myself, I had their chicken chop with garlic mushroom sauce. Sad to say, the chicken was very tough, and the gravy didn’t have much taste…mushroom, garlic or otherwise.
Secret Recipe’s mushroom chicken tastes better…and Secret Recipe’s mushroom chicken ain’t too good to begin with. I would still like to go to the one at Subang to give it another try…hopefully the food tastes better there! Dinner came to RM42…considering the feast we had at Nong & Jimmys for RM25 per pax, this was really not worth the $$$ at all!
And now, it’s Sunday night…and the whole routine of counting down the days to the next weekend begins all over again…
Ok…I’m off to watch Hannibal Rising!
Oh, and for those of you who want to try Jackson’s hot dog, just get to the Rothman’s roundabout (near Lisa de Inn, Greenview) and take the turnoff that leads to Jaya Supermarket (that’s 12 o’ clock if you’re coming from SS2, 9 o’ clock if you’re coming from Sin Chew Jit Poh/Honda service centre). Turn right at the traffic light at Handimart and follow the road all the way. The van is on the left, near house number 144.
