Friday Dinner@Taman Sri Tebrau

Now it seems possible that to drive across to JB on friday evening. After you passed Woodlands custom, it is faster at the JB end, surprisingly. As usual, the woodland guy will read out your name then you acknowledge but this round ... that guy paused for a while after going through all our passport, then say in a slow, monotonous voice ... "Welcome to the 1976 club". We know what he meant but not sure whether to laugh or just ignore, probably he is just too sian after reading out 5,251,757 names.

It took a while before we got to the tebrau area as we horlan, seems the map didn't work out to be like the road names, we took the wrong road heading towards KL but we manage to find the way there. Of course the beauty of KTsia roads are, some or most road signs are either at the road entrance or just before that ... so is either you must know which road or you are tokyo drift or hamilton. And the romantically litted roads don't help at all.

Think we reached about 830++, about time for a late dinner. The tze char stall just right in front but at these places, don't expect any things will look "clean". Of course the food are much cheaper because of the exchange rate. We ordered 牛油虾婆, 麦片虾, 清炒凯兰, 干烧伊面. The crayfish is quite good, dry type, deep fried. It comes with alot of cripsy cripsy stuff, like they will crystalize, savoury and sweet. The crayfish meat don't have much taste but fresh and soft enough. The noodles are worthy mention also, like 炒香港面. Dry but wet enough so it is smooth and with enough ingredients. The prawns are not that fantastic.

Malls are closed so found this cafe and the white coffee really good. Very creamy and with a chocolatey taste. The boston cheese cake which is quite good but if cheesy enough could be better. It even has live music singing chinese pop but somehow the crowd doesn't seems to be here for the singing.
