One hour stir fried noodle 怡保一小时炒粉 @ Sun Seng Fatt Ipoh 怡保新成发

When SN asked what food I wish to take, I promptly answer Wat Dan Hor滑蛋河. This is a kind of stir fried Hor Fun with egg, a picture of it will be shown later. This is one of the food that I can never find in Penang till now. SN mom recommend us to go to this One hour stir fried noodle near Central coffee shop or Hotel Excelsior. They told me this, no matter what time you reach the shop, it will take you an hour for your order to be served. The shop name is 新成发 Sun Seng Fatt in Cantonese, Xin Cheng Fa in Mandarin.




The chef.

We reached about 8.30pm, the shop is almost full. [Oh yea for health purpose I usually finish my dinner before 8pm but there are exception case during travel/wedding dinner :D ] Half of the table are not served. I saw quite a few people were reading newspaper or books. For us, we just chit-chatting with long time no see old friends :) Well, we were mentally prepared to wait for an hour. When they serve your table with bowl/chopstick below, it is a good news, indicating your noodle will be served very soon in less than 15 min!


The Wat Dan Hor for 2 person, we already taken some. I don't know how to describe the taste, it is so smooth, and the taste is just nice, as what Cantonese people usually like to say 够锅气. It definitely worth for the 1 hour waiting in occasion.


The fried beehoon (vermicelli) which tasted good too, and not too oily.




At night, the shop open around 7pm, you may place your order, but the hawker take about an hour to prepare to start the business, so the first order will be served around after an hour. All subsequent order will take around 1 hour to be served too. We timed, the food was served after 1 hour, usually right on the dot, interesting eh, how the chef count the time :p If you would like to order the food for take away, remember to place the order together with your order, or 1 hour before you leave :D

I am sorry I cannot find the address now. It is somewhere near Hotel Excelsior and Central restaurant 中央茶餐食。

Woolley Food City, Ipoh, Perak

Similar to Penang, Ipoh is famous with nice food. In my opinion, I like food in both city. I like Penang Char Koay Teow 槟城炒粿条 and Lo Bak卤肉, I like Ipoh Hor Fun怡保河粉, curry noodle咖哩面, Wat Dan Hor (Fried Hor Fun with egg)滑蛋河,been sprout芽菜, wantan noodle云吞面 and etc. And lots more :D

One of the famous hawker center is called Woolley Food City near Ipoh Garden. It has been famous for more than 15 years. My friend brought me here again after my last visit of more than 8 years ago. Then only I realize it has a new modern look, cleaner and brighter.





We were here for the famous curry noodle Tuk Kee Prawn Mee Curry Mee德记虾面咖哩面.


In Ipoh, it is common to have dry noodle, which is noodle in black soy sauce, beside soup noodle. Similarly, there is also dry curry noodle. I ordered soup curry noodle. The few drop of lime juice add better taste to the curry noodle. I like chewy vermicelli too. I preferred Ipoh style curry compared to Penang curry, which is more fragrant and not only spiciness.


My favorites drink in Ipoh is soy bean juice, usually is freshly made, which is harder to be found in Penang. Sometimes I also like to order 黑白 soy bean juice mix with cincau. Notice on the grassjelly (cincau), it is sliced long and thin, which is very easy to be drink with the straw. Not all drink seller will slice it that way, some will cut it into cube which is not easy to eat/drink with.


That hawker center is opened for breakfast and lunch. At night, the outside hawker stall as in picture below will attract a lot of diner.



Some direction and details can be found here http://food.malaysiamostwanted.com/venues/woolley-food-city-western-chinese-ipoh-garden-ipoh
"Ipoh Garden South, Ipoh, Perak
Coming from Jusco towards Hospital Fatimah on Jalan Dato Lau Pak Khuan, opposite the hospital is a Shell petrol station on your left. Turn left into the road next to the station. Go straight into a vast parking lot. Woolley is situated facing the parking lot."

* Almost forgot, parking system in Ipoh is coupon-based. Go to nearby stall to get parking coupon, if not mistaken is RM 0.40 (or RM 0.60) per hour. Ipoh city council officer is very hardworking in patrolling to check for violation. The summon is RM 20-30 if not mistaken.

Leona Lewis - Happy

Let's have some song today. Just look at the title, wish you be happy always :)



The lyrics:

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don't you take chances
Might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain
Cause love won't set you free
I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be

Chorus:
So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah

Verse 2:
Holding on tightly
Just can't let it go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear, ohh
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me out of here
I can't stand by your side, ohh no
And watch this life pass me by, pass me by

Chorus:
So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, ohh, happy, ohh

Bridge:
So any turns that i can't see,
I'll count on a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don't say anything

Chorus:
So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me

Outro:
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, yeah, happy, ohh, happy
I just wanna be, ohh
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, happy

Another one, to cheer up the day ;)

UMHB: Chapter 2 - What is Meridian and Collaterals System 经络 (2)

Please refer to Disclaimer for some information.

[MK: There are few more research and explanation on the scientific proof of existence of Meridian and Collaterals System (MCS). Since a lot of technical terms are involved, I think my translation will not be accurate and I would like to skip those. In short, author is trying to illustrate on the existence of this system.]

Organism evolve from mono-cell, which doesn't has brain but tissue cells. Not all organism has brain. This means that it is not brain to control inter-organ functionality and operation but probably MCS.

In terms of computer system term, human body is not a single CPU system, but multiple of CPU system connected via high speed connection system. Brain is just one of those system. This could be one of the explanation in TCM brain is never included in the definition of Five Zang Six Fu.

Current western medication is built upon anatomy findings. MCS cannot be discovered in anatomy due to technology limitation in the past. Recently, some research results revealed the existence of MCS. This is similar to a tree observation where only leaf is seen but trunk. Using another example, when we look at a computer system, we can see only the hardware but left out the software.

[MK: The author also shown some research result on the existence of MCS. Due to my limitation on those technical term translation, I do not plan to put it here. If you are interested to take a look, please read the mandarin book :p ]
