Fatty Chef Cuisine

I went looking for some take-out dinner at Karamunsing Capital. There were many eating spots there. I am sure I will be trying some of them in future (I only took photos of those that caught my eye). I must say again that I am really impressed with the ease-of-use, the colour and the resolution of the Lumix FZ-35 I used (these photos were taken at about 6.30pm in RAW format at 12 megapixels - but reduced to 640 x 480 pixels at 72dpi for internet publication). For those interested, Panasonic Lumix has launched the new models (FZ-45 and FZ-100).

There was Peppermint.

There was Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa. They say its a clone of the nasi lemak from Kampung Baru KL (I had many great meals there, I wonder if this will be to that standard?).

There was Ipoh Town Kopitiam.


I didn't know that Venice was that near to Ipoh (geographically?)

The was Old Town White Coffee.

There was Hang Li Po (Chinese Muslim Food). There was a Pool Hall on the first floor (I must pay them a visit soon). The slow shutter speed (low-light situation) caused all the pedestrian-blur.

I went to take-out at Fatty Chef Cuisine.

It was an eye-catching name, though the chef I saw in there was not fat at all! Restaurant had good ambiance at matching prices.

The take-out was of very good standard (both the cooking and the containers / cutlery).

New Servay Supermarket Penampang

I took some photos on 29 January 2010 on the reconstruction of the Servay Supermarket which had burnt down in August 2008.

The construction had been completed and the Supermarket re-opened for business recently in this July. It looked externally as it did before, but painted a nice cheerful light green.

The internal arrangement was just the same as before, if my memory served. The items and aisle locations were immediately familiar. I must say many items are cheaper than in Giant. So I would say "Do support our locally-owned supermarkets".

Dona's Place

This set of photos were taken on 4 July 2010. I just realised I haven't posted anything in over 3 weeks. I had spent the last week in June and most of this July in finalising the audited accounts for the company I work for, settling the income tax and the filing with the Companies Commission of Malaysia.

Dona's Place is located at the end lot of the only block of shops next to Rainfield Court.

The coffee shop is actually the Yam Cha Corner which serves the usual chinese style meals during the mornings and lunch-time. Dona's Place takes over from 3pm to 11pm (mondays off).

I had my dinners there for three weekends. The cooking was done by Dona. The standard menu had fish and chips, chicken chop, and lamb chops. All very good with the proper spices. There may be specials on certain days like lamb stew (tried - very nice), pasta and lamb shanks (haven't tried yet). Her hubby Siva was very jovial and friendly. The place should get better still as they get into the swing of running it (the place started business in July)
