Bangi Kopitiam

I was getting very hungry at 12 pm and suddenly a good friend of mine, Fira, suddenly sms me for lunch. I literally jumped to my feet because she had good timing. At first we wanted to go to Soho, but little did we know that it was closed during the day. So we opted for Bangi Kopitiam at.. well Bandar Baru Bangi :D.

Its a kopitiam or coffee shop that my friend loves to go to get her daily dose of white coffee.

This is the menu of the place, with a photo that was seemingly taken back in the old days.

Even the walls are plastered with the same picture. Overall they try to emulated just a little bit of those old kopitiam place


We both had the lime asam boi. No different from other places, has the right amount of asam boi and lime juice.


I had to get toasted bread with coconut jam (kaya) at these places. I think they used margerine istead of butter. Just like how mom used to make :p

This is the first time I tried their Nasi Dagang. Will not try it again, the gravy was too thin and sweet and the rice needed more salt. The fish was savour because Tongkol fish is already full of flavour and very meaty already.

My friend said the Kueh Tow Sup was rather bland and was not special at all. Since we both were hungry we quickly cobbled up everything :p. Last time I went to this kopitiam, I had the Laksa Johor which tasted so much better than these two food that we ordered. I would actually come again to this place :p but only to try dished that I already liked :D.

From Morning To Evening

I slept quite late last night, at around 2 am so I need my caffeine fix :p. As we all know Monday was the day of the debate every one in Malaysia talks about. I am not going to elaborate it because you can read it anywhere on the media. Anyways I really did not pay attention to it because I was busy watching Sinderella (huhu damn series got me stuck to it :p). Anyways Hairie and I had a long phone call and chat about the debate (well actually he gave his point of view on the whole thing, who needs to watch it when you have friends like these that can summarize and tell you all the key points that we need to know :p). It was definitely refreshing when he told me those in oil and gas, education, government servants and health are almost recession proof. Those working in construction and retail are going to suffer the most. Quite true actually because I read a lot about the US increase of petrol (the news was on the Yahoo webpage, irresistible to ignore) Many company, factories are cutting cost by shutting down or releasing workers. If it does happened to Malaysia, its going to be one sad Raya.

I followed my lab mate today, in doing his RA work. I wanted to help him out going to the location of his studies. Besides, I never went to the place he does his research so I wanted to just jalan2 :p

Its a tiring job going up and down 4 flights of stairs and 4 different stairs. Gosh suddenly cramming my head in molecular work sounds easy :p
