Old Town Kopitiam...

So there are like alot of so called Malaysian cuisines around Melbourne.. Here's one at China Town Street Back Alley in Melbourne! Being malaysians, our taste in food have generally high standards, so there's a need to distinguish between crappy immitation malaysian food and better ones..

Today's review is on Old Town Kopitiam @ Lil Bourke Street!




They have pretty authentic marble tables, except they aren't round but rectangle..


First up: Teh Tarik, very unknowingly called White Tea in this shop, comes in a pretty authentic cup as well, complete with cracks and chips on the tea saucer itself =.= Taste wise, it wasn't hot enough, a lil too sweet for me, and while no way as nice as any Malaysian mamak, it certainly is worth having it again.. This is absolute contrast with the one in Chili Padi @ Melbourne Central - where the 'teh tarik' was teh dilute. Their employee manual for making teh tarik is probably add water, sugar, and brown colouring. Cost was about $3. (RM9 - well, this IS melbourne)



I had Claypot Loh She Fun (They had a funny english name for this on the menu but I forgot what it was already). It was surprisingly authentic enough in a Claypot; I wasnt expecting much actually), and taste pretty good. It was however, sadly, Australian prices for Malaysian portions. Scrap that, it would have been terrible value for its pretty miserable portions even in Malaysia as well - and this goes to all the food we ordered..


Nasi Lemak - certainly lose out to Nasi Lemak House on Swanston near Melbourne Uni, in taste, price, and value. I think it was around $10 - thats RM30. Malaysian readers can stop gasping already..


Its Char Kuay Teow! or at least, supposed to be.. I'd say its d closest to the real thing so far, although it was not hot enough (as in hot hot, not spicy), and it was way.. way.. too salty.. But anyhow it wasnt that bad but the excessive saltiness made it hard to eat an entire plate by yourself..


And lastly, ICE KACANG OMG! I've never had ice kacang anywhere else before in Melbourne so there's not much to compare.. Unfortunately, the picture can probably reflect the dismay we all got when it came.. Its was $6.5 or so, RM20. It had ice, a very little bit of grounded nuts and misc stuff at the bottom, and a hell alot of syrup. Verdict? Bleh.

Well, overall verdict that it wasn't too bad. I wouldnt mind going back there again, but not anytime soon..

hmmm...

I'm not smiling these days, but I'm neither sad nor angry.. I'm not wallowing in sorrow or emoness. I just sit, and look at the passing people, and thinking each and every single one of the person passing by has a story behind them.. and I just wonder what's mine..

Its like I woke up one day and I'm someone else.. The things I used to be interested in, I'm not anymore.. Its like I'm upset perpetually. Its like I don't belong. or I dont feel I belong.

It took me a while to realize why does this seem all too familiar a feeling; and it is because this is the same feeling I had beginning of SAM year.. Whats this means, I have no idea myself..

Like an empty space,
void of all but a wall to overcome.

This is why...

This is why I don't rant about Connex. This is why no Malaysians ever rant about Connex. Who gives a damn about being 5 minutes late as long its not like this..

The fading resolve..

You know how when you decide on something, you stick with it, its something called resolve, determination..

What if somewhere down the line, it starts to flicker, and wane, as the winds blow hard to put whats left of a burning passionate flame out? Don't fret if you don't understand, just conclude Lawrence has lost his mind due to lack of companionship besides his laptop and iPhone and pillow. =( This is what happens when you stay at home too much, and have no money to spend outside..

This is my emo position. and face.. Stop laughing already! Ppl emo here.. don't mention the hair.

As determination fade,
as the flame flickers,
standing against the test of time,
there is but only one thing that can be done,
follow your heart..

5.49am.

Several hours after I'd promise to improve my blog, I've gotten too lazy to think about it.. If anyone actually reads the time of posts, its actually 5.49am. or at least it was when I took that picture.. Notice that the notepad is still *blank*.



Dang I should have gotten rid of the iphone box in d background first.. It totally ruined the 'hardworking' scene there..

I tried time and time again to belong to the world of daylight, perhaps it just aint for me~ Thus I shall just accept that I belong to the nocturnal world.. probably to the dismay to some people hahaha..

I shall not fall asleep in treasury tute again. I shall not fall asleep in treasury tute again. I shall not.. x 10000


Update: exactly 30 minutes after I wrote the initial post. Number of words written: 4 .

7.5 Minutes/Word. Wait GG (Eugenes Favourite Line).



Update 2: 8.32 am! IM DONE!! YAYYY!!! Nearly 3 hours for one tute.. =.=" I'm so PROUD of myself!!! 6 pages!!

A strive to improve, a strive to change..

All this time this blog has been a personal blog, and it will remain that way.. It is also the most frequently updated blog compared to the other 2 (failed) blogs I still currently have.. I still dont know how I'll manage those blogs, but I feel its time for a change and improvement somehow..

I bought this erm.. alien communication device 2000. it is able to accept 7 connections at once and come up extremely bright colourful blinking lights... Lacks weird alien sound..

jokes aside, its one bloody ugly USB hub... what's with the bloody lights and the bloody light in the middle BLINKS consistently. wtf???

Since alien devices don't belong amongst human items- It is therefore banished to UNDER the friggin table. yes that thing on top of the pic is my table!
