On the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, we have our dim sum breakfast at Kim Chew mom’s restaurant – 华州, the only one Dim Sum restaurant at Tanjung Piandang.



In cantonese, we called “luo mai gai” 糯米鸡. It was yummy and delicious.


Whole table of Dim Sum ~ The dim sum I like the most is “Chai Kuih” 菜粿. For us, we call “Teoh Chew kuih”. My father and family like to eat as well. They normally went to the dim sum restaurant at JAWI to have this “Chai Kuih”


Let’s Zoom out the “Chai Kuih”


There are two type of “chai kuih” – In teochew we called “Gu Cai Kuih”.


“Mang Guang Kuih”.


Because of chinese new year peak season, we were required to queue up in order to get the dim sum ~ Although Long Q but worth to wait. See, we get so much “Chai Kuih” again!


And we finished all


The guy behind us is this 华州 dim sum restaurant boss’s son – Kim Chew


After we finished our breakfast, we visited grandmother at Nibong Tebal.

After visit our aunty #3, we went to find uncle #3 ~ No photo can be showed here because everyone is tired ~ especially my parent. So I just let my “小黑” a rest lor~

Do you notice there is a fishing village infront? We came from there actually.


We saw something while going back.


All the boat was spoilt and most of them was sink. Heard that is was caused by tsunami which happend in 26.12.2004. To know more details about tsunami. Click here.


We were almost reached. Did you see the village behind us?


All the boats were parking in a line.


A peaceful fishing village.


The boat was slow down… My sister was so busy looking at right

Let’s took final group photo before say goodbye to this village.


We reached home and Amber said: “We have a fun time today!”. Really want to say thank you to my father-in-law for giving us such a great experience. Especially for kids who stay in city and for us who working in busy city.


After experiencing the boat ride, my nieces and nephew tried the tricycle ride.


Bin Bin was trying so hard to move this tricycle.


Finally he gave up. Amber also laugh at him:P


Bin, never mind. You just a kid. Nothing to be upset


Opps, his mom suddenly sat on the tricycle and ask his son Go!Go!Go! Aiyo ~The tricycle totally cant move at all


I liked this photo. Everyone looked so natural in this photo.


Okie, Bin Bin ~ Come. Let your uncle fetch you around.

Jia Xuan’s potrait


这姐姐。。。


这妹妹。。。


这哥哥@弟弟


他们偶尔会吵架。。。可是很快就会好回 ~




因为不管如何闹，毕竟只有一个姐姐,一个妹妹,一个哥哥@弟弟而已，所以还是会相亲相爱地 她们两姐妹让我想起我和姐姐，我们时常都会吵架，不过现在长大了，见面的时候并不多，所以我们很珍惜在一起的时光。不吵了，只想相亲相爱。


后面那位就是我的老姐啦


她是我大嫂咯！我很佩服她，因为她能够把事业和家庭兼顾得很好。是一位完美妈妈。


很可惜我二哥和二嫂没来,不过很快地我们可以一起旅行啦,期待那天的来临

这就是我啦 ~


We came here around 630pm and waiting for quite a long time, the sun still there x_X


All of us were so hungry. So, we decided dont want to wait anymore. I tried to capture sunset moments as much as I can during the journey back to home.


这就是所谓的 “日落” 啦. This is called sunset.

JR, Derick…


Just a friendly shoot


Start from right – Tushar, MayLeng, Lily, Filton, Mafe..and ??? Can someone tell me what is his name. Cant remember all


Sebastien always hide behind when taking group photo ^^ So, can look thinner right?


While waiting for food, let’s take a photo ~




Cheers ~


SiewChean, Alvin, Chee Boon


So sorry to both, I have adjusted my camera setting to wrong mode. Thus, the photo outcome looked like this


Feel abit eyepain on seeing this color of photo.


The lady served us the “Yusheng”. She proceeded to add ingredients such as the fish, the crackers and the sauces while saying “auspicious wishes” (吉祥话 or Jíxiáng Huà) as each ingredient is added, typically related to the specific ingredient being added.


Yusheng , yee sang or yuu sahng (simplified Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshēng), also known as lo hei (Cantonese for 撈起 or 捞起) is a Teochew-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means “raw fish” but since “fish (鱼)” is commonly conflated with its homophone “abundance (余)”, Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.
[source]



We are preparing to “Loh Sang” la ~ “Loh Sang” mean act of tossing. All of us will toss the Yusheng into the air with chopsticks while saying various “auspicious wishes” out loud. Eg. Loh ar Loh ar Loh ar Loh for money, loh for promoted, loh for increment ya ~


It is believed that the height of the toss reflects the height of the diner’s growth in fortunes, thus diners are expected to toss enthusiastically. [source] .So, can you see who toss the highest one. I guess so is Sebastien!


Camera was set to wrong mode: Daylight


Luckily the person who help us take photo has experienced on using Canon camera. He said that I have set the camera to wrong mode. Thus, he helped me to adjust back to Tungsten mode. After set, the camera outcome looked like this. Do you feel the difference?


We are the first table starting for the Loh Sang. Next, will be table #2. Catherine said waiting for another person coming.


They are waiting for Derek Chan. Be prepared? 1,2,3



Loh ar Loh ar ~ Who toss the highest one? Guess so is Lily ^^
