Union Station , Chicago (2004)

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

this picture was taken around 2004 when I’ve visited my younger brother
in Pittsburgh. Had to take a train west to Chicago and then take
another train east to Pittsburgh. While waiting for the Pittsburgh
train - took this photo of the hall (ok i’m guilty of self-posing for
camera )

If you’ve seen the movie Untouchables (last scene when they try to
capture the accountant) or My Best Friend Wedding (the last scene when
Julia Roberts tried to ask for forgiveness for screwing her best
friend’s wedding) than you should be familiar with this hall…

chicago is a lovely place

thanks for viewing..

actually develop and scan these…

when we were there some smart aleck decided to climb up one of the
cliffs and suddenly got himself into a situation where he cant climb up
and too risky to climb down. So the lifeguards came in to the
rescue..this is their copter..

Oriental City

Monday, October 1st, 2007

well this pics were taken yonks ago..only uploaded it today to cure my roti telur cravings..yummyy

Oriental City in Colindale ( on Northern Line tube ) is about 30 mins from central London. It used to be a Yaohan shopping mall (yes yaohan just like the one near PWTC , legend hotel tu..)

however biz wasnt so good so i think they folded but the shopping mall is still operating with variety asian store selling stuff (cheap computer stuff , china , chinese dvd etc) and a big oriental supermarket where you can get serai , daun kesum , lengkuas and such .. if only they have daun kunyit!! boleh masak rendang..

anyway here’s two pics from that place..

there’s a food court here that serves oh my god the best asian food in this part of the world.. you can get authentic roti telur here! the kuah ikan even taste better than some stupid malaysian franchise mamak in KL (sorry Lotus , Pelita fans :P)

they also have nice char keow teow also can get some nice vietnam beef noodle soup and also there’s satay!!! go try the satay - it is damn good.. yum yum cooked by some makcik who’s been in london for 12 years .. Puji2 satay it is called..

comforting to know you can find belacan easily in London

well there’s also a big oriental supermarket.. i usually go here every friday nite with my colleagues - do some shopping then eat some good food..what a way to start off the weekend..

oklah guys if you’re in london and craving some good malaysian food ..head to this place!

cheers
