Original article here: “It Happened to Me, It Could Happen to You”

What is this post about?
In summary—Mr.Lau had an urge to watch the fireworks celebration in KLCC ended up in a racist attack by a group of teenagers. It was posted on Facebook.

According to Mr. Lau, he and a friend of his planned to go join Merdeka Eve celebration at KLCC, they walked through well lit place and was attacked by a group of Malay teenagers. They ended up with injuries and no one cares about them, to make it worse—the teenagers says “Baliklah ke negara asal”

Mr. Lau even had problems making a police report.

This shows how inefficient the government bodies are in handling these racism problem. I know, racism is happening in every coutries, and it’s difficult to banish them completely.

However in my opinion, we should 大事化小,小事化無. Life is too short on hating someone.

Remember guys, this is only a minority of people are causing troubles. I believe 99% majorities are harmless and we all wished to live in harmony. Don’t get agitated easily and revenge on 99% of them. Remember, most of us are harmless.

Lastly, I would like to wish all Malaysian a Happy 53th Merdeka. Our freedom did not come easily.

Malaysia is my home and I love this country :)

(despite how sucky is streamyx…. heh)

:) *smile*

Oh by the way, I will remove inappropriate comment. So don’t even try.. constructive comments are always welcome.

Hin Ching suggested we have lunch at Karamunsing Capitol today. There are some new restaurants there so we decided to check it out.

We decided to go Fatty Chef Cuisine restaurant.

First thing that comes into my mind when I stepped into the restaurant…

“Wah, sei loh. Why so high class wan!? This place is going to be damn expensive… Okay la, die then die la, I want to enjoy this meal!”

The ambiance is also amazing—I immediately feel like a millionaire when I stepped in.

“Only yau chin lou visit these restaurant” I said to myself. Hahaha :D

If I have the chance, I want to look at the chefs… are they really all fat fat one?

We talked about the menu design, it was good. But we found something funny, if you go visit next time, look at the first page and last page of the menu, got gwai lou one! The images were taken from internet hahaha. Two nerds sit together, sure got funny conversation :D

“I want to order Hainan Chicken rice, don’t feel like eating oily food today… wait, RM15 for Hainan Chicken rice ah…. okay la” (hand trembles, cold sweat from head)

(Truth: spend too much on clubbing last month, this month have to cut back expenses)

Kelvin joined us… he looked at menu… look back at me…

We both smiled :P

What to do… we have not reach that level of income yet. However, we can easily pay hundreds for alcohol, but not proper good food. Silly KK people. hahaha.

Hainan Chicken Rice – This is what I ordered. Amazingly, the food awesome, totally out of my expectation. The chicken is juicy and chewy, and the rice is fragrant. Presentation is good. I reckon we can only get these kind of taste with great ingredient – in this case, chicken.

We get what we pay la I guess. I thoroughly enjoyed the dish ^^ I haven’t had such a good chicken rice for quite long time..


Ayam Percik with rice – Kelvin ordered this. According to his review, he says it’s pretty good. I asked him to elaborate more, he says:

“The sauce is satay sauce loh… okok lo… nice ar… and everything is up to standard. But leh, the rice is small portion la. other than that, everything is good.”

Another satisfied customer, I assume :)


Lemon Chicken rice – Hin Ching ordered this. He is satisfied with the dish as well, the only thing he complaint was the rice was a bit hard.

Normally, in other restaurant, they fried the chicken in whole piece, then only cut into little pieces and add lemon sauce. However, in this restaurant, they fried the chicken separately, so each pieces are 100% crunchy on the outside.

3 of us are very happy. Total bills comes up with RM52.

They have wide selection of desserts too, looks tempting! I will visit this restaurant again -specially for the desserts. Siapa nak ikut?!

Update: A friend of mine, Stella joined me for second trip to Fatty Chef Restaurant to specially try their desserts.

Monkey Pool and Monkey something something. I don’t remember hahahha.

I was invited to Hyatt Ramadan Buffet, to do food review.

Well, you see… I am not really a food blogger—I just like to to take photos of good food and share with you.

I do not share lousy food on blog, waste my time only :P lousy food do not deserve to get free publication. Which also means, the food I blog here is good.

I am fortunate to get invitation from Dinoza to attend Hyatt’s Ramadan buffet. “Ah Bing! Come we go makan with other KK food bloggers!” he told me on phone.

“Buffet? OKAY confirm come!”

…. then stupid Bing had big meals 3 hours before buffet *totally forgot about the buffet*, I end up tasting instead of feasting T_T

So here are some photos to share with you.

Buffet area

Chocolate fountain

Dessert

Bread

Kuih Apom

Fried food

Skillful chefs preparing food in front of you.

Chicken Tikka

Malay cuisines

Fresh fruits

Steamed dessert

Western food

Pickles

Salads

As you can see from the photos above, the food is not limited to Malay cuisine only—they serve different cuisines to cater in-house guest and western customers who some prefers western food. Even dim sum are served.

The price—slightly on the pricey side, but that’s hotel price mah, confirm got standard one. However, I keep comparing to SHOGUN buffet at Semenanjung Malaysia.. hahaha.

The dining area were jammed pack with hungry customers by 6:30pm. Make sure you come earlier, or make reservations, because seats are limited.

Food quality, I really don’t have to say much lah, Hyatt is a world class hotel, of course they are able to hire excellent chefs. Got standard one, ok? ;)

Thank you so much for invitation and the hospitality, I enjoyed my time :)

I am doing something new here at Ahbing.com. A Week In My Eyes, a new blog series where I will show you as I see the world, with ANY camera I happen to have with me. Why am I doing this?

Inspired by Chase Jarvis

Chase Jarvis is a prolific world-renowned photographer, and he wrote a book called The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You™, and that’s truly inspiring.

Be inspired to see the world around you and shoot with any camera.

We often look at the best gears, blame on old camera for lousy photos. That’s not how it works.

To me, photo is a form of expression, as long as the message gets across—my mission is done. So I am using camera that’s available around me to take daily photos (either phone camera or LX3), I will make it into a weekly recap in Ahbing.com.

I am curious to see how it turns out. This is so exciting ;)

These are photos for this week… Week #1

Others haz started too

Another friend of mine, Ryan Ong, has started his own journey as well. Ryan shared all the photos as he sees the world, into a single Facebook album. I am inspired. Check out his album.

The Book

You can get the book from Amazon if you’re interested. The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You: iPhone Photography by Chase Jarvis (Voices That Matter)

Join me?

Drop a comment here if you are doing this too, this encourages you to take more photos and has more contents for blog updates. Plus, we can link to each other too boost some traffic love ;)
