NASI GANJA: RAIHAN NASI KANDAR

Up until a few weeks ago, I heard of Nasi Ganja but never tried or wanted to try. I know its geng Nasi Kandar but I don't know why they call it Ganja. . Sure they called it Ganja because its addictive. I was like yeah right.. A few weeks ago I went to this place RAIHAN NASI KANDAR. Nothing to shout about place, tengah panas buta, looked very uncomfortable but it has a high ceiling which promotes better ventilation as compared to a lot of other joints.

 

The Nasik was so so.. but the ayam..phoar, crispy panas and sedaps. Please la..this is not fine dining kayy..nak fine dining gi beli food magazine..KFC pon cannot lawan. Serious!

 

Today, my boss wanted to treat us for lunch. Apa lagi, makan free..bedal je lar. The queue was unbelievably long. We reached there around 12:40pm.

I pergi reserved a place since there were a few of us.

 

This time I nak try something else. I saw the sotong goreng. So I asked my boss to get me some sotong goreng.

While they (boss and his assistant boss) were talking about this and that, I was so absorbed eating. Terus senyap and hilang all potpet. Lupa all the heartaches in the world. Lupa about cruelties towards women, children and animals.

 

Toot toot toot...oh wow the ganja really is working larr.

 

Ok that's all about today's lunch. Kerja banyak ayo yo



PUTU BAMBU SUBANG BESTARI AND GOOD NEWS

Yesterday after my physio I decided to go straight home. I bought some sandwiches at Subway then off I went. It was pretty early for my standard so went to the Gas station to have my orange baby filled up. The I realised I didn't have enough soft food for outside cats. So I stopped by 99 Speed Mart on Nova U5. On the way there I saw a food vendor van says "Putubambu" something something I can't figure the entire signage. Hey I was driving laa what do you expect kan?

After my 99 Speedmart shopping session which filled with catfood. I walked across the street to the van. A very jovial customer (not the vendor, he was all stressed up meeting demand) said to the vendor,"Abang! Ni ada kakak nak order ni bang! Cukup tak?" I realised that I may not have the chance to buy the putu bamboo. He asked me," Akak nak berapa bungkus?" I just raised my jari telunjuk indicating 'one pack'. He said,"May be cukup". So I waited. A few cars stopped by after the vendor gave them a gesture they ran out. I was like 'phew', just my lucky day. 6pm and they ran out. The vendor said to the jovial customer,"Aritu takde orang nak datang, so banyak tepung terbazir. Hari ni dah tak cukup pulak". The jovial customer said,"Orang ramai tak tau Bang! Ni dah start ramai yang tau la..."

 

The price:

RM3 for 5 pieces ( A friend said its standard price )

 

After grabbing my package which obviously I am the LAST customer, I went back to my car and drove home.

 

As soon as I arrived a few cats ran towards me so I had to stop the car quite far from the gate. I picked the littlest one and brought her into the car so I wont run over her. The rest dah besar, so they can take care of themselves. I parked, fed them and guess who I saw?

Miss almost looked like Lily turned up meowing away and I thought she was dead! You can refer to my blog "Fallen Angels"

Bertuah punya budak!! Terkejot che Kiah kejap. Gosh...But I felt way too relieved and I gave them extra food. Yah makan makan semua!

Happy happy joy! Alhamdulillah

The putu bamboo was made in a haste I can understand that but the rasa was alright. A bit too sweet but I am glad that they are sold there. I don't have to drive all the way to Kampung Baru to get one. But, the Kampung Baru one still the best.

I gobbled the entire thing and feeling too filled. ha ha now how to makan my meatballs subway? How?

I waited until 10pm baru makan the subway: Poohteh and Jo got some meatballs.

Ok until next blog!

FALLEN ANGELS

Today I failed to save another stray cat from a group of hungry and angry stray dogs. I could hear her voice screetching defending her small self. she didn't stand a chance. I wasn't fast enough to get out of the house to chase the thugs away. I could almost hear her life dragged out of her small body. I cried driving to work today. I feed strays; cats and dogs. These stray dogs group must be from the hungry group from far far away.. The ones I fed wouldn't hurt a soul. I curse the situation. I feel helpless. I went outside and checked the vicinity. She was dragged somewhere not to be seen. Nope I am not going to report to the so called "authorities" who are going to catch strays and put them to sleep instead. I had seen that happened way too many times I have butterflies in my stomach thinking about it. For now I can only pray for them both cats and dogs. They don't stand a chance in this ugly world. I am sorry for not able to save you little ones. May you RIP.

Dear human beings who happen to read this blog. Have mercy. Spay and Neuter your pets!!
 

Mommy and daughter no where to be seen. I suspect they are gone as well. *Sigh*

SWEET TOOTH

A few months back I did my blood test. I have low sugar level. This month I think that level is elevated somehow. Last weekend my sister drove me to a nearby mall. It has Mark and Spencer in there. While she ogled over the perfumes I went ballistic at the food section. O well toffee Viennese was so tempting. I thought I give it a go and not a slightest bit regretting it.

HOME SWEET HOME

I had a great time being out today. I wanted to go on my own but my arms started to hurt. So my sister and her friend took me out. A few hours later we headed home. Its good to be home to so many cats ha ha.

GONE JUST LIKE THAT

I had been feeding this family of 3. At 4am I heard a screeching kitty voice. I got up. I saw through my window a group of stray dogs mauling what looked like a little kitty. My heart pounds so hard but sad at the same time when I saw the mother was looking at the group helplessly. I went out. The dogs ran away taking the baby with them. The mommy ran to me. Sadness in her eyes. Now she's left with the black and white baby. I cried.  RIP little one. I couldn't sleep after.

ENJOY IFTARS EVERYONE. ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT

As you all may know Ramadhan is only days left. After that all Muslims in Malaysia and every where in the planet will celebrate Aidil Fitri in Syawal. Many will travel back homes from big cities.

This year, my preparation for Hari Raya is almost zero, especially after my mother had a minor stroke last month. She has a brain Tumor

But Ramadan helps me to find solitude and spiritual self healing

With whats happening in Gaza and other unfortunate souls, fasting somehow gives me clarity on a lot of things.

So during iftar, I managed not to over eat like previous years. During sahur, I could only take some cereals. No appetite for anything else at 4:30am.

Here are some of the snapshots of what I had during Ramadan:

Kuih Lopez: from Ramadan Bazaar

Kuih muih from Ramadan Bazaar

Kuih Biji Nangka

Laksam

Pulut Kuning from Chawan

Creme Caramel from Bazaar

Kuih Berlauk from Bazaar

Swiss Mushroom - From BK

Tandoori Chicken from Isa Maju

Nasi Dagang from Bazaar

Salmon with buttered rice and asparagus from Bubba Gump

OK thats all for now folks

SELAMAT HARI RAYA
MAAF ZAHIR BATIN
