Makan-makan Di Kuantan

Ni entry ala2 jalan-jalan cari makan....

Pak Lim Nasi Arab
Disebabkan boifren dah lama teringin nak makan nasi arab, kami pun terjah ke kedai Pak Lim Nasi Arab ni.

Di mana kah kedai ini?
Mintak maaf ler sebab tak ada the exact address. Tapi kedai corner lot, kat Jalan Hj Ahmad (mcm otw nak ke Teluk Chempedak, kalau dari area city, ie Kuantan Megamall tu pusing kiri, jalan ke depan lagi then kedai tu will be on your left) - senang nampak sebab signboard kedai ni besar.

Rasa: Boleh tahan sodap.. walaupun tak sama mcm nasik arab ori yg tok arab buat tuh..kalu yg tu, harus terangkat!! Nasi arab ni tak berkuah, tp depa bagi satu mangkuk kuah kari atau kuah dhal bersama2 dgn nasik ni.
Kami ada mintak lagi satu lauk tambahan ~ sup kambing. Sup dia tak mcm sup pekat kat kedai mamak nun. Sup kambing ni rasa mcm sup ekor sket2, ada masam2 jugaaa. Tapi rasa kekambingan ittew tetap ada.
Selain dari signature dish nasi arab & ayam rose, masakan panas & western food pun ada dijual juga. Panjang list dalam menu......

So apa lagi, sila la cuba!

Maid In Heaven

Just recently the government has set a new regulation on issues like providing a one day off to the maids, allowing them to hold on to their passports and also to provide compensation for maids injured at workplace. and oh... RM800 a month to hire a maid?

Personally I somewhat object (cewah mcm dlm court pulak) these so called new regulations. I see only the downside of it.

How sure are we that we will get an honest and qualified maids with that kind of salary? How do we know these maids will not run away at night (sometimes with valuables belonging to the employers). And who is going to look out for the employer's right? Aiya... and the list goes on....fuuhh stress headache.... (mcm la org yg cakap ni ada maid!! hehehehehe).

I have very little memory of having a maid when I was young. My parents hired a maid when I was already in my high school. The first maid was from Thailand, apa ntah nama dia. She was given a big room, next to mine. Sedap dia masak. She was with us for only a few months when she told my mum that she needed to go back "for a while" to her hometown to see her children. So my mum gave her some clothes and money (konon2 nak umpan dia to come back again). Tapi haram tak mai dah.

The second maid was from Indonesia, pun tak tahan lama. Sebab p.e.m.a.l.a.s.
After that, my parents stopped hiring any maids. We did everything on our own (eceh ceh...).

So back to the topic of discussion. Why the need for a weekly day rest? and that RM800 per month thingy. Are we willing to pay that much? Maybe in certain cases or in certain families memang the maid had to work their butts off. Tapi nama pun maid. Kalau suh buat tu tak reti, buat ni tak reti...sikit2 saya tak pandai, tapi makan nak yg sedap aje, apa majikan tak hangen!!
And I quote maid MakSu Tepeng yang baru, "saya lepas Isya pukul 8 terus tidur, barulah tidur berwudhu!" Waduh waduh... sedapnya dia tido awal. Tidur dalam iman gittew!!

With that one day off, the employer pulak disuruhnya pantau si maid. Aikk.. majikan agaknya dah takde keje lain kot nak kena monitor maid pulak. And again I quote, from Azd, "Apa kata suruh maid tu cari rumah sendiri, bayar sewa makan sendiri. Transportation sendiri. Cukup time malam, balik umah sendiri."

I'm sure most of the employers wont mind having to pay a lot of money (sebab kebanyakannya terdesak) but at least the agent should provide them with well-trained maids according to the specific needs of the employers, or at least lepas secondary education. Ni membaca pun tak reti, kunyit halia pun tak kenal, dah la kadang2 ada language barrier. Tapi bab mengira boleh tahan cerdik pulak!
Alahaiii.......

Pasar Malam

I think it has been a month since the night market started its operation in IM 14. So far so good lah, the stalls keep on expanding, more people are coming. A busy environment every Thursday evening in front of our house.







Senang pun senang, jalan dua tiga tapak dah sampai... senang hati macam2 ada, tak payah pikir nak masak apa...main tunjuk2 aje...bila poket mengempis barulah saya pandang awak, awak pandang saya....muahahahahaha!!

Aiman pun excited if we tell him it's pasar malam day. Seronok sebab kadang2 terjumpa kawan tadika dia... tersengih2 je, tak pun terjumpa teacher dia.

And yesterday, "Aiman tak nak lah buy toys kat pasar malam, tak best, cepat rosak kan mama? kan? kan? Aiman nak buy toys kat supermarket aje, baru nice."
Peerrgghhhh..... mcm tu pulak! Standard shopping mall ghupanya dia.. ngeeeeee T_T

This morning otw to have our breakfast, saw a banner at the junction to our house. There's a meeting for the residents of IM 14 this Saturday about this Pasar Malam. Jeng jeng jeng... pasar malam menjadi agenda meeting??
Agak2 apsal yer... nak ban pasar malam ni ker? ada org tak puas hati ke? nak kata sampah bersepah2... so far tak de la bersepah sgt. Ke sebab meeting nak tambah tapak? Hmmmmm......

Alahai pomen...kenapa harus menipu?

Lepas kena ketuk kaw2 oleh pomen hantu &%@#$^%%^%$ kat karak hari Ahad haritu, semalam kitorg pun ke Padang Lalang, cari kedai radiator. Tokeh Cina. Berenti betul2 depan kedai dia, terus tokeh tu datang sambil tersengih2. Ramai jugak customer yg tgh menunggu. Azd explain bok bek bok bek... pastu tokeh tu kata, takpe pukul 5 boleh siap. Oraiiitttt bebeh....

So menunggu la kat kedai tu, nasib baik ada aircond, tak la panas. Tak tahu berapa byk paper Harian Metro yg ada kat workshop tu saya khatam. Azd tunggu kat luar most of the time, tgk2 apa yg diorg buat.

Kejap2 saya keluar jugak jenguk bila nak siap. Azd kata sparepart utk Ford model ni mmg susah nak cari, kena order bla bla bla. Tapi not to worry, tokeh tu ganti dgn sparepart Ford baru, walopun not for this model. Hitam berkilat, fresh from the box! I loike!

Habiiiiiiis semua, tiba lah masa utk membayar. Cuak jugak kalu2 kena byk, tp alhamdulillah, acceptable la tokeh tu charge, tak sampai 1K pun. Radiator pun dpt yg baru.

Bila teringat balik kat episode kena tipu oleh pomen Karak kurang asam tu mmg BARA!!! Walaupun I was not there at that time, tapi terkena tempiasnya hokey!!?
Betapa kejinya perangai korang sebab amik kesempatan ke atas org yg tgh dlm kesusahan. Ingatkan sesama Muslim tu, adalah kesedaran sikit, jujur bila buat keje. Awak tu cari rezeki, kalau awak buat keje betul2, free2 je dapat berkat pahala apa semua tau tak. Kitorg boleh rekomen korang sebab ramai je member2 yg lalu kat Karak highway tu. Ni tidak!! lagi nak kelentong hidup2. Eeeeiiiiiiiii aku laaaa!!!!!!

Dah la tak solat...nak kata period, dah memang sah2 ko XY.
Radiator buruk second hand yg ko ganti tu ko charge seribu lebih, kipas yg korang kata "rosak tu" ko ganti dgn yg TAK berkualiti.. Tak sampai 24jam, radiator BOCOR balik. Apa hal???!!

Bila tepon, dgn muka TAK MALU dan TAK BERSALAH ko suh tambah lagi kalu nak cari barang baru. Kepala hotak la kan!! Keji keji keji!!
And ko tau tak, with the same unreasonable price yg ko charge giler2 tu, we all blh dpt 4 radiator BARU!
Yes I am totally PISSED!! @$%**)$^%$%!@#$!@#$$^%$
Org mcm ni yg memalukan kaum Melayu... memalukan org Islam!!! Tak tahu la dah berapa ramai org kat highway tu yg korang TIPU. Tak pe... tak pe... walopun tersangat lah marah dan geram sebab kena tipu beribu raban, takpe... what goes around comes around.
Semoga Allah akan membalas perbuatan korang ni dan memberi petunjuk kat korang.
Jadi lepas ni sapa2 yg tersadai kat highway, sebab kereta rosak, janganlah cepat percaya kat pomen2 yg berenti nak tolong. Mungkin ada satu dua yg betul2 ikhlas, tapi zaman sekarang ni, berapa kerat la yg betul2 trustworthy? Ramai yg jenis take advantage org2 yg dalam kesusahan... nak2 pulak kalau dia tgk org tu perempuan. So kena be extra careful. Jangan la cepat percaya kat org.
Semoga kita semua sentiasa dilindungi Allah dan sentiasa dijauhkan dari segala kejahatan.
Amiiiinnn.
