This is one of my favorite breakfast place in Melaka, that I have put off blogging about it too often.  The Yong Tau Fu noodle comes with a bowl of noodle and a bowl of Yong Tau Fu.  The noodle has some kind of special oil that makes it very tasty.  In addition, those who loves chili can douse with the chili provided.  For those who like me, just love the natural taste, the rich fried onion with oil taste makes the noodle appetizing.  On the Yong Tau Fu, they have all the regular stuff, stuff chili, stuff bitter gourd, stuff ladies fingers, stuff tau fu and my favorite, fried fish ball and fried tau kee. 

The restaurant is located very close to Bukit Cina (map below) on Jalan Temenggong.  It is actually a block to the left of the Gurdwara center.  It is actually opposite Seng Heng, you can’t miss it.  They finish serving by 10am.

Lamy Safari is an entry level fountain pen and it is also the cheapest from this German Company.  The pen has a black chromium plated steel tip and the body was made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic.  In the middle of the body, there is a little window displaying the ink level and the pen cover has a gigantic clip.  At first glance, it is young, chic and colorful.  The pen screams our practicality rather than something that look nice on your pocket.  The pen comes in Blue, Black, Red, Yellow, Orange and recently in bright Pink as a special edition. 

The pen was very light, mainly because it was built of plastic.  I notice the light weight, but it did not bother me that much as I quickly adapted to it.  The pen comes with a pump calls the converter, well, it was actually a twisting pump.  After filling up the pen, I gave it a try on my notepad.  It was smooth and light to the touch.  I only had to touch the paper, and did not even need to put any pressure, and the pen sails smoothly across the paper. 

I take great pressure in using fountain pens on a daily basis, and take little care on them.  This is why I never purchase any expensive pens as I will either drop them or lost them.  I have lost one nice Shafer from my wife and have drop the last pen I use.  This is why I scout for entry range pens, because they are inexpensive and can be easily replaced without much heart ache.  One thing I have notice is that entry level pens are mostly poor in writing quality.  Mostly are scratchy, and a lot of them did not have in the tip size that I like, which is fine tip.  For some reason, most of the entry level pens that I see in the market are medium tip.  While scouting for a pen yesterday, I tested this Lamy Safari out comparing with others of similar range and price, and none of them came close, they were as I have said, scratchy and Lamy Safari was smooth.  I got it at a great price too, and extremely happy with it.  Now I can’t wait to put it go my daily abuse…

I have been fascinated by History for a long time, and being a Chinese, I am also intrigue of the Chinese History and Culture.  I was browsing through the Wikipedia on Chinese History and came across this page, Timeline of Chinese History, it has a chronology on the History of China since the Peking Man, a 200k-750k years old remains found near today Beijing.  In the Chinese History Chronology, it started with Peking Man, dated some 400k years back.  Then at 7600BC, Archaeological evidence suggested domestication of pig for the first time.  At 7500BC, Analysis of Chinese rice residues show that rice had been domesticated by this time.  It seams to me that the Chinese has been eating pork 100 years before eating rice.  Isn’t it interesting, the rice, a staple food of the Chinese culture were preceded by the pork.  I guess we have been eating pork for so long that some of us has pig brains. 

Our surprise/disappointment turn excitement when we saw the map to the new Foh San restaurant plastered on the side.  After a couple of wrong turns, we came to this grand restaurant that we did not expect of.  Foh San has turn from a corner kopi tiam to a double storey 5 shops wide restaurant.  It was massive and great, you can witness it in the pictures below. It was already the third day of opening, and the restaurant was still buzzing with patrons as if opening day.  We had to wait for a good 10-15 minutes before we get a seat, and after that another 5-10 minutes before the table were served and our tea was ordered.

After successfully settling down, we just accept the offer of the first cart that came by, some kind of cheong fun with pork and prawn.  It was much better than the regular prawn cheong fun that they served.  We ordered a few more fried and steam stuff before picking up our tab and left.  The food was cold and the service was horrible.  But we understand as there are just too many people.  I don’t think any restaurant can give proper service and food quality in such capacity…
