Ramly Halal Kiosk

Dek kerana terpengaruh dengan posting Ruzi yg menghupload di FB gambar set meal Ramly Burger..maka I pon terjebak!! .. I realized this premis had operated since the mid of last year in Seksyen 2 Shah Alam..tapi buat donno je.. time orang sebuk2 boikot McD dulu & suruh bertukar ke McRamly memang ade jugak keinginan nak try tapi hmmm...
Since i am not that typical nasik eater especially during night time..i opted for this simple menu..simple ke?? Checkkiddaut.. malasnye lah nak menulis.. tengok gambar je uols..
p/s: I was the last customer to get out from the premis, dari bos sampai pekerjanya yg sibuk menyembang & duduk depan kaunter buat closing HARAMMM nak cakap TERIMA KASIH...pantang iols tau..lagi2 lah tau tu sama bangsa..kite punye lah nak support business awak.. mentang2 la i comot..tak putieh macam Dato Vida Qu Puteh.. tunggu next year la baru i revisit...

2 in 1 concept restaurant - fast food menu yang boleh diorder at Ramly Kiosk & at Ramly Mart section, you can shop for frozen products of Ramly!!


Set meal menu starts at as low as RM6.00 - each burger meal comes with fries & drinks.  
A la carte pon ade


Dinner is served!! This one costs me RM7.20 ..tambah sikit for that iced cappuccino



Inilah burgernya.. same like those selling at the street stalls @ pasar malam stall.. rasa pon same..rasenye harga pasar malam lagi murah kot. pattynye pon nipis..mcm dibelah separuh je.. I think they should served thick-patty burger like as shown on their menu board..name pon kedai Ramly kan.. you are selling your own product..so why not jenamakan kiosk ni betul2.. letak harga mahal sikit pon takpe..asal customer puas hati..fries pon ciput..haishh apesal la nak kedekut2.. i finished up the whole set in less than 3 minutes kot..

MISSION: HNY 2015

Salam Tahun Baru!!

It's been a while that i have stopped blogging..dah dijangka memang jenis buat kerja separuh masak!! hehehe..huhuhu.. It's 1st January 2015, so i decided to write again as i feel relax, restart & refuel physically & spritually.  Masyaallah, how fast time flies??? 2014 berlalu sepantas kilat.. It was like yesterday since I moved to Menara U Shah Alam, rupa-rupanya dah genap setahun jadi SA Resident.. heard from someone who told me that masa berdetik macam biasa, cuma manusia terasa ianya berlalu pergi begitu pantas apabila tak menggunakannya dengan sehabis baik!!  So much true.."Demi masa...."

Looking back in 2014.. it has been a hard & sad year for Malaysia as well as for me.  Double tragedy involving MAS, fallen of Ringgit Malaysia and we ended with disastrous flood & another Malaysia-owned flight Air Asia QZ8501 crashed !!  A very sad ending...Ya Allah..Dugaan besar & berat untuk Malaysia.. Saya yang hanya diduga dalam PhD ni pun dah separuh gila rasanya, apatah lagi to those people affected by those tragedies.. lebih besar dugaannya..

Yesterday, while doing my routine in the postgraduate room and as I realised its already 31st December - the last day of 2014, I told myself that I should have done better.. I must admit that there were sooo much of negative vibes within myself through out the year!!..and the negativity list goes..

I didn't do well in my study (obviously)
I didn't see my supervisor (instead he came to me & even asked me "dah makan ke belum"?? - shame on me), 
I kept worrying over the same old shits, 
I felt traumatized everytime I switch on my lappy, 
I practiced poor unhealthy lifestyle - my last work out was around March and eversince, I didn't go for swimming, gym, yoga & all sorts of active regime which I enjoyed previously
I sat on  the swivel chair & staring my laptop 24 - 7
Sleeping on the chair & in the car has become common.. If it happened on my proper bed, it's either last for only 3 - 4 hours or maybe I got overslept and only woke up at 8 am..Suboh gajah..Suboh dinosour dah jadi routine pulak..how sad!!
I easily got sick & unable to heal fast..until today, already had hoarse voice for about 3 weeks!! 
Sitting for long period of times leads me to hemorrhoids...huhuhu
I didn't eat well - after brekkie, I tend to skipped lunch & instead, I snack over junkfoods, sweets & chocolates and only had my dinner at 10pm!!
I managed to loose 4 kilos of my weight during Jom Kurus 1 Malaysia (JKIM) programme earlier this year & I ended gaining 12 'damn' kilos...HOHHH!!!!???

Now tell me.. how should I stay positive when sooo many things went wrong???? (cry..cry..cry..)

Eventually, my senior Kak Iza came in to the room and I was actually didn't know what was her real intention at first.. but she said that she felt sorry to see my tense face everytime she passed by the room from outside, muka penat, mata dah ke dalam, kulit muka pon x glow (yess, I've been neglecting my facial care these days & some more dah tak bermekap as usual).  In her loghat utara she said that "duk pulon gheja dari pagi ke pagi esok tapi tak siap2 jugak" and neglecting your health & your social life, is sooo not worth it!!  Furthermore, you didn't make use of your jovial personality and you end up isolating yourself silently in this room!! Sepanjang "spiritual chatting" ini, banyaklah nasihat2 kerohanian yang dititipkan..Kata Kak Iza..PhD ni cuma duniawi, what's more important is jalan dalam proses PhD itu sendiri adalah menuju kepada jalan Allah SWT, jadi kenapa perlu belakangkan Tuhan??!!  Subhanallah, betapa tipisnya iman saya rupa2nya.. saya bermusuh dengan PhD, saya benci dengan takdir ini, saya seperti salahkan Tuhan, PhD buatkan saya jauh dari Allah, sembahyang lewat waktu kerana nak habiskan serangkap write up, solat yang tidak berkualiti akibat tergesa2, tak sungguh2 berdoa, ada kalanya tak berdoa langsung..Sekalipun my ibu dah ingatkan..sebab itu lah kejayaan, rezeki sampai lewat..kalau dah solat pon lewat..Ini antara yang dikongsi Kak Iza during our "spiritual session";-

1. Solat 
- Solatlah di awal waktu
- Solat sunat taubat selepas solat fardhu (sebab kite memang tak sedar/perasan dgn dosa sendiri)
- Solat Dhuha supaya murah rezeki
2. Baca Al Quran / Doa
- Doa bersungguh2 & minta Allah yg besar2 (percaya kepada the power of Doa)
- Baca surah Al-Fajr sebelum matahari terbit
- Baca surah Al-Waqiah setiap hari (supaya tidak papa kedana)
- Baca surah Al-Mulk setiap hari (supaya kubur bercahaya)
3. Perbanyakkan sedekah (jangan kedekut bagi singgit2..bagi lah besar2 sikit..kesian org banjir, harta benda hilang, 1 sen pon takde, kite masih bole makan KFC lagi)
4. Ringan-ringankan mulut berzikir..bukan lama pon..3 minit je..
5. Study Life
- Ikhlaskan hati dalam menuntut ilmu kerana Allah SWT, bukan kerana gaji, pangkat @ title
- Datang ke postgrad room awal & balik awal so that you'll have time to exercise, bersosial & baca Al-Quran.
- Tidur awal (waktu terbaik bangun jam 230 pagi then tidur balik jam 4 pagi then bangun semula jam 6 pagi) - yang ni macam SUSAH je nak direalisasikan..hahah
- Outline your goal in your study.  Jangan stuck terlalu lama at one spot!! Buat lain..
- Mingle around.. speak to others about your study..don't do it alone!!
- Kurangkan surprises in your life (contoh teragak nak ke Hong Kong esok terus beli tiket flight) sebab takut tak cukup masa nak prepare & jadi kelam kabut!!
6. Work your plan..plan your work (ni tambah2 sendiri..) gagal merancang adalah merancang utk gagal!!

Alhamdulillah..Allah utuskan orang baik & positif untuk tunjukkan jalan kepada saya.. in fact all this while I have been surrounded with kind & positive people, it just that having myself as my worst ENEMY, i seldom see the beautiful parts that lies behind.. Terima kasih Kak Iza .. it's been soo long that I haven't been attached to Allah..satu permulaan yang baik untuk saya hari ni!! Saya tak punya resolusi tahun baru, saya hanya berdoa semoga Allah jadikan saya lebih kuat menempuh dugaan, lebih baik dalam pengurusan solat & hidup serta jadikan saya individu yang lebih terampil luar & dalam...Wassalam...




Apa kene mengena video ni??hehehe...simply because SRK is my idol, apart from his movies, I always seek for his motivational & inspirational quotes & lived with it!! Yang tersirat dalam trailer ni pon ade kene mengena dgn saya...lu pikirlah sendiri!! HNY 2015!!

Nasi Lemak Ujang @ Medan Selera Greenwood


These days, you would probably find the iconic Nasi Lemak only during night hours instead of the usual brekkie time.  So it doesn't matter if you missed it in the morning, there would always be a night time for you to search. Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, Nasi Lemak Cinta Sayang, Nasi Lemak Ujang - just to name a few of the local favourites. Last night, Deo - the co-owner of "Nasi Lemak Ujang" has invited us for a small 'whatsapp group' gathering.  Eventhough I'm not a "night-time-nasi lemak-eater", for the sake of its popularity, I dare to break my rules!!

Being a Gombakian and spent most of my childhood years in Greenwood Park, I couldn't believe that I am unaware over this stall existence until I've heard about the long queue of people waiting to be served from a friend cum loyal customer few years back. Located at the food court @ Medan Selera at Taman Greenwood, Jalan Batu Caves, this stall has been opened since 1981 (I was only 3!!) and still continue making big hit until todate!!.  The stall opens around 500 pm and close to midnight or precisely until they finish the stock of food.  This is probably one of the reasons that they became favorite among locals who always look for a good variety of dishes.  When your turn to order at the counter, you would simply become spoil for choices as on their menu are fried chicken, sambal sotong, sambal kerang, rendang daging, rendang limpa, paru goreng bersambal, bergedil etc.  No menu price are displayed on the board, so you will need to roughly calculate on your head over what you choose before you go uhhh..ahhh...errr???..:-))) ..Simple calculation - a pack of nasi lemak with sambal kerang and telur goreng can easily priced at RM5 - RM6.

As an 'honoured' guests, Deo took orders from the table, and we agreed on everything that he recommended.  When everything has arrived, and the MAKAN time started, I must agree that the SAMBAL is the key feature that attract the patrons.. Not too sweet or salty, it has a distinctive flavour of belacan (shrimp paste) and in terms of the spiciness level, I indicated as less hot.  Other dishes also tasted good, and my favourite was the rendang limpa.  Will definitely give a go on the next visit.  Although I'm a fan of sticky nasi lemak, according to other members of the table, another thing that attractive in Nasi Lemak Ujang is the rice itself.  It was nicely cooked until you can easily distinguished the beads and the adequate santan has been added to give that creaminess of nasi lemak.  Deo said that this is the secret that has been passed from generations to generations as the cooking method is complicated where the rice need to go through repeated steps of soaking, tossing and steaming.  Above all, surely worth it . As a result...licin pinggan masing-masing!!  

Deo continued to serving us like there's no tomorrow..haha..after nasi lemak, there came 2 siakap in masam manis and steam version prepared by his wife (note that this is not part of the nasi lemak menu) and few plates of sate Minang which he ordered at nearby stall..bloated gilerr!!  Thank you very much, Deo and Nasi Lemak Ujang team for hosting..semoga Allah murahkan rezeki kalian and may longer queue formed from day to day.  I'm very sure that i will return to savour other lauk pauk!!  For those interested, here are the details: -

 Long queue at almost every night..not a big deal as they could served quickly!!
 Deo in action!!
 The mouth-watering Sambal Sotong

 Eventhough the set is complete with lauk pauk, I still think that they shouldn't skipped the ikan bilis & kacang
 These are a few of "OTAI MASIH BERBISA" group members.. The lady holding the orange is the most otai!!hahahah

Birthday Surprise yang EPIC @ Chemistry Cafe (again???)

A very last minute plan (not even a plan) to make a date with my bff Ija sempena her birthday today. Tak sampai ati pulak tengok ada kawan kita yang tak tiup lilin kek on her birthday eventhough die x kesah pon..  So, we decided to chill at Chemistry Cafe as she was kinda crave for the cakes that i used to upload in my blog..Ms Shasha (cafe owner)..please note that my friend ni is the 4th batch yang diintroducekan ke cafe u ni tau..;)))..agak2 i layak dapat food voucher tak??? ngeeee... 

Without Ija's knowledge, while ordering, i requested for the barista to throw a surprise birthday singing with a single lilin on top of its best seller - Reese Peanut Butter Choc Cake..dengan confidentnye cashier girl tanya "u nak after main course ke? u duduk meja mane?..takut tersilap bagi.." Dah settle bayar.. chit chat la dengan Ija while waiting for our food & drinks to be served..Surprisingly, dengan selambanya they served the cakes (which are supposed to be surprised with the candle on top)..gerammm ni..hasrat nak buat surprise dah terkantoi dgn waitress2 tu..so I decided to berterus terang.."Ala Ija..so sorry.. these cakes were supposed to be a surprise to you..budak2 ni tak alert lah..lupe lah tu dah ramai sangat orang..huhu"...Ija replied "no wonder la you gave that kind of look tadi..haha..better not..ko jangan bagi malu aku"...hahaha...so we deal with it.. but few minutes later datanglah another waitress yang dengan muka ala2 membuat lakonan plastik ke table kami "excuse me, kek ni dah tersalah hantar " and terus grab the cake menuju ke belakang counter... we both looked at each other and burst into laughters...Alahai..dah kantoi, they tried to counter back to make the surprise still happening as requested earlier... "ko buat2 surprise je la Ija"..hahahah..

The moment of truth when we heard them singing "Happy birthday to you..." (mase ni Ija dah ready nak buat2 muka plastik yang surprise kot).. then, the singing stops..alaaa..lilin pulak padam..lari pulak waitress2 tu ke belakang nak nyalakan lilin balik.. and again we both gelak cam giler!!..Their second attempt to surprise berjaya jugak akhirnya..tapi lilinnya masih padam so nyalakan je lah atas meja...hahha..Wahhh..above all the kekantoian..the whole cafe patrons were singing & clapping along for Ija..Sangat EPIC lah your surprise ni Ija..I bet you're going to remember this at least sampai your next birthday ye..hahah..


Credit to all baristas!! Despite of the surprise failures, you girls still make an effort for making this happened & happening!! THANK YOU... 
 Luckily, they didn't go out of stock..Ritz Zainal, sila cube datang lagi...
 Semua menu creamy & berlemak!! Hot classic Vanilla, Reese Peanut Butter Cake, Charcoal Crepe Cake, Chicken Carbonara
Happy Birthday to this strong lady whom I know raising her lovely daughter alone.. May you get all you desire.  With a new year of your journey, shall come more challenges, opportunities and greater success.  May Allah bless you!

Chilling Down @ Chemistry Cafe

After a hot, fiery & tense dinner at ROA, we decided to extend our MAKAN event in another place..lagipun perut masih tak kenyang-kenyang lagi (this is very bad rapport when you're supposed to make people kenyang ok!!)..To chill my friends down, i suggested Chemistry Cafe to end up our day out with coffee & some light meals (light keee???)..This is my 3rd batch of friends yang dibawa ke cafe ni since i'm pretty sure that they will love it as much as I do!! Walaupun lokasinya sangat lah berdekatan dengan Restoran ROA tadi entah macam mana we decided to drive our cars sampai lebih lambat dari jalan kaki akibat busy cari parking..Hahahhaah!!  Its pay-day babe!! After seating, everyone was pretty excited as everything in the cafe is designed and ornamented to the likes of a Chemistry Lab...si Seni je kot yang kenal & tau nama2 radas dalam Lab ni..Dengan perut yang masih partially lapar, order mengorder pon bermula..the average price for meals, desserts & beverages is between RM8 - RM11..memang berbaloi lah dengan portion, rasa & the most important is TAK TENSION nak makannya!!!

Seafood Carbonara ni memang berlemak dengan heavy cream!! Tasted better with more paprica sprinkled on top!!
 One of the best seller - Chocolate Reese peanut butter cake...simply satisfy your sweet tooth!!
 Lusciously delicious beef lasagna..

After an espresso and a latte, we didn't want another coffee, so we opted for this fruity milkshake called Chemical Reaction!!..caution..very addictive..However, we forgot to do the chemistry stirring method in which you need to hold the flask and swirl in circles... 
 Muka-muka kepuasan.. lesson learnt - lidah kita ni memang lidah mat salleh girls...jangan nak manado sangat!!
We do have great chemistry!! Till we meet again in another MAKAN event!!!
