signboard

I took this pic of their signboard whilst walking up the stairs to their cafe.  It was such a cold relief as our seafood dinner was outdoors and warm.   The air-conditioning was at the right temperature and well circulated - you want to stay here for a long time.

Hot Peach Sencha

Waffle 

Four of us digged into this small bowl of ice-cream waffle and it really tasted good.

Just Seafood restaurant

Kuala Lumpur - After work and back to Vigilnet office - I was given 3 choices for tonights dinner and seafood it was....as the name implies it was Just Seafood on the menu.

seafood on the table

One of my unique experiences - eating seafood off the table.   The waitress will come-by and tapped down the table with white water-proof paper and the cooked seafood that was ordered will be poured onto the table.  No forks or spoons were serve - use only your hands. Using the plastic gloves provided you eat the seafood without dirting your hands.

Taking photos of the dishes was a bit of a hassle - pull out the gloves and whipped out my iphone and then put back the gloves back and continue eating until the next dish..

The style of cooking was cajun or salted egg and I chose salted egg and it was really delicious.  The dish includes - prawns, mud crabs, venus clams, mussels, potatoes and carrots.

Cockles (Si Hum)

It has been a long time since I ate si hum - and it was refreshing delicious; and dipped into blacan.    Nice dinner - thanks..

Kedai Kopi Hock Seng Hin

Kuala Lumpur - Edward and Donny brought me to this old Kedai Kopi (means Coffee shop) which is famous for their braised fish head.   We were fortunate to find seating for us as it gets very crowded around lunch time.

The famous braised fish head dish

This coffee shop is famous for their steamed fish with spicy bean sauce.   They are generous with their white rice a rice bucket is placed next to your table to help yourself.   Putting scoups of the bean sauce onto your rice is really delicious.   The fish is fresh but becareful of the numerous fish bones.

Bitter Gourd with 3-layer pork

Spicy pig innards

The intestines are quite tough and not marinated through enough, so it was not tasty.

Stir fried Kailan with prawns

A nice 'home cooked' meal - simple and delicious.    The coffee shop decor may put-off some customers as the kitchen is in a mess and quite dirty.

It was a good dinning experience at this restaurant and the food tasted good too....

NEWater Visitor centre

Singapore - Water is very precious to Singapore.   In the early days, all our water supply comes from Malaysia and with the threat of it being turned off by 2061.   Singapore had to strategise and create 3 other taps - reservoir, Newater and Desalination to compliment Malaysia's water.

When the 1961 Water Agreement (1st water agreement betwen Singapore and Malaysia) expired on 31 August 2011, Singapore handed the Johor State government the Gunong Pulai and Scudai waterworks as well as the pump houses at Pontian and Tebrau which we had been operating and maintaining at our own cost.  These facilities were handed to them free of charge and in good working order.

The second Water Agreement was signed in 1962 and will expire in 2061.

I went on a guided tour that started @ 2.15pm - there were many school children and adults and the tour guide had a hard time controling the crowd.   She had to move the crowd in an orderly manner from one station to the next.   It was interesting to see first hand how Singapore treat sewage water into portable water.  

Today, there are five NEWater plants supplying up to 40% of Singapore's current water needs. By 2060, NEWater is expected to meet up to 55% of Singapore’s future water demand.

What's NEWater?  NEWater is the brand name given to reclaimed water produced by Singapore's Public Utilities Board. More specifically, it is treated wastewater (sewage) that has been purified using dual-membrane (via microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies, in addition to conventional water treatment processes. The water is potable and is consumed by humans, but is mostly used by industries requiring high purity water.
