big signboard of 31400 Stop Over-House of crab

蟹屋的大招牌

what's your choice?  选择？

Claypot Low Xu Hun | 沙煲老鼠粉

RM 6.90

i think it's quite costly for a small serving, but luckily at least some prawn and squid. 

这价钱有点高因份量没很大，还好里头有虾和花枝

Monte Cristo Sandwich | 蒙地卡罗法国面包

RM 5.90

average taste of the sandwich, toasted bread (soaked with egg) is used. (monte cristo sandwich tranditionally is deep fried battered sandwich. Another version is grilled sandwich , with ham and cheese. it's usually served with fruit)

普通味道，蛋煎面包，馅是火腿和乳酪。（传统的蒙地卡罗法国面包，是酥炸面包。另一种是烤三文治，馅是火腿和乳酪。蒙地卡罗法国面包都会配水果）

Spicy tangy sauce crab | 三味螃蟹

RM 16.00 (small; 3 crabs)

the sauce is ...(no comment)... and the meat is soft, too soft, i think the crab is not fresh. Flower crab cannot live long outside water, means it's shelf life is short. Thus, it's hard to get fresh flower crab sometimes atleast they rear it. prolong rearing period will decrease it's quality too. meat will be too soft and not taste fresh anymore.

对这酱料，没意见。蟹的肉质有点棉，不太新鲜。花蟹的寿命不长，离开水后，容易离开蟹世。要吃新鲜的不容易，除非可以把它们养。可是，养太旧，肉也会棉，也不鲜甜了。

Spicy crab | 金香螃蟹

RM 16.00 (small; 3 crabs)

again the sauce is ...(no comment)... and again meat is too soft. not fresh?

对这酱料，也没意见。肉质有点棉，不新鲜？

Butter Crab | 奶油螃蟹

RM 16.00 (small; 3 crabs)

this was best out of three flavours we have. nothing can go wrong with butter, but the meat was wrong

奶油是最好的，奶油和任何东西都好吃，可是蟹肉很错。


3 crabs for only RM16.00, obviously is cheap, but small crab really not much meat. Besides crab, they serve other seafoods like prawn & squid, noodle, steak, rice.

RM 16.00 三只蟹，便宜，可是小蟹没肉。除了螃蟹，也有虾，花枝，炒面，粉，扒，饭。


They serve ...... too | 也有......
......Set Lunch | 午时套餐  RM7.90, RM10.90 & RM12.90;
......Set Dinner | 晚套餐 Nett Prices of RM12.80 & RM 15.80.

the boss highly promote syphon coffee

这里的老板推荐虹吸式咖啡

you may select your own bean

你可自选咖啡豆的种类

syphon coffee｜虹吸式咖啡

syphon coffee tend to have smooth body, and able to bring out the full flavour of the beans. syphon coffee is clean not strong as drip coffee. barista advise drink it without any sugar, because it is a good way to taste the pureness of the coffee.

虹吸式的咖啡，口感比较滑，也能品尝到其纯度。虹吸式可分明的承显出咖啡的香氣、酸度、与醇度，咖啡师傅建议不加糖饮用。虹吸式咖啡没滤泡咖啡浓。

ice coffee｜冰咖啡

it's really a nice ice coffee. using fresh brew coffee and added with skim milk, even it's cold, you still able to sniff the delicate coffee aroma. not too sweet and not heavy because only skim milk is added, no evaporated filled milk or condensed milk.

好好喝的冰咖啡。用的是鲜泡咖啡和脱脂牛奶。虽是冷饮，可香浓的咖啡味依然扑鼻。不太甜因没加任何练奶或淡奶。口感没那么腻。

salad｜沙拉

good refreshment for the hot weather outside. the sauce with lemon grass added, some sweet and sour taste, little bit of spicy too. ingredients have lettuce, baby tomato, onion, mint leaves at the bottom，top with crunchy fried anchovy.  I love the combinations. feel fresh after having the salad. 

这小食很适合现在的热天气，吃后感觉清爽。沙拉酱有香茅，带点甜酸味和微辣。生菜，小番茄，小洋葱，薄荷叶，还有脆脆的江鱼仔。才料都配的很好。好吃！

besides coffee, they serve some dessert and sweet congee, noodle and rice dish, hamburger too.

除了咖啡，这也有一些甜品和糖水，饭食和面食，还有汉堡。

siTigun, Penang

tea time for now, 10am in the morning, here we are at Penang, Si Tigun. This was recommended by mak^3

麦^3　介绍的咖啡店，十点了，来杯早茶吧

Nagore street

one mocha and one turkish coffee please

一杯摩卡和土耳其咖啡

mocha | 摩卡

RM 6.20

cup of coffee which taste chocolatey, not chocolate coffee, do you know what I mean? mocha should be coffee with chocolatey taste. so far, this is the best mocha I ever had. for others cafe's mocha, chocolate tend to cover the pleasure taste of coffee. in si tigun, you can still get to smell the aroma, enjoy the acidity and bitterness of the coffee and yet it give you the chocolatey taste.

喜欢这里的摩卡。摩卡应是带有可可味道的咖啡，而不是可可咖啡。别家的，可可把咖啡味都盖了。在这，你能品尝咖啡的原味，和淡淡的可可香。这家的摩卡，目前是最好喝的。

Turkish coffee/ crash coffee RM 4.80

Turkish coffee is prepared by boiling coffee powder, wait for the dregs settle before you drink. I regret for didn't go and look at the preparation, is it really boil. first time try, kind of loving it. first slip, taste light, but wait  for another minutes, getting stronger and stronger. medium body coffee , soft acidity and pleasent bitterness. the coffee tend to give a clean-tasting, pure coffee.

土耳其咖啡是煮的，然后待咖啡沉淀后，就能喝了。后悔没去看看，真的有煮吗？第一次喝，感觉很好。第一口，淡淡的，待多一会，再喝，有点浓。咖啡的味道分明，清醇的感觉。甘苦味和酸度都温和。

here is the dregs at the bottom, fine ground coffee you can see
咖啡渣，蛮细的

Si Tigun original recipe Tiramisu　｜　自家提拉米苏

not the traditional type which is cheese with lady fingers soaked with coffee liqueur. although not the traditional recipe, the cake is nice. creamy cheese, layered with self made lady finger like cake. nice coffee liqueur with vanilla smell. Think of eating the second piece. (for my own, i prefer strong coffee used for Tiramisu)

虽这不是传统的，但很好吃。好想再来一块。用的咖啡酒不错，带香草味。（本人还是希望咖啡能够再浓些）

lovely croissant ｜好好吃的牛角包

what a nice and fresh pastry we have here. crispy on the outside and soft inside

新鲜好吃的牛角包，外酥内软

I'll will be back

1. sauté luncheon meat with some butter in a bowl which enough for the pasta. 用牛油将午餐肉炒一炒
2. after sauté, reduce the heat and add in butter, cheese and egg (keep the heat at the lowest because we do not want the egg to set). 然后关小火， 加入牛油，帕瑪森起司和蛋 (温度一定要低，因不要把蛋弄熟）。
3. meanwhile, cook the pasta. when it's cooked, drain it and mix it with the egg sauce. heat from the pasta will set the egg. 同时煮意粉。当粉熟了，将粉加进酱里。意粉的热度能把蛋弄熟。
4. pass some Parmesan cheese seperately | 再撒上帕瑪森起司粉

女王办公室

最近，在追女王。三十分钟一集，总八十集，我才看了一集。女王办公室是喜剧，每天三十分钟喜剧，轻松下，感觉很好。雷小鳳（汪阿姐）好好，高级秘书，专业秘书，老板不能没有她。人人称她Queen姐，是个办公室女王。可惜不大会处里家务事，与女儿有不少的误会。我爱Music，她很帅。喜爱她对工作的态度，轻松地认真工作。凌笑淇 （吴卓羲）十分喜欢巴士，是个巴士痴。从巴士路线到引擎，都非常熟，可以做个巴士总会长。典型宅男，只会对电脑沟通，所以是个电脑高手。Leven（杜汶澤） 很健淡，非常健淡的无颈肥仔。雷雨（陳山聰）可说是个不愿长大的人，常喜喜哈哈的。

一直都爱看这一类的三十分钟喜剧，之前有同事三分亲和毕打自己人。这一次有阿姐，不错。她依然好看，很生动。第一次看何韵诗演喜剧，好像少了份自然。不过，我还是爱她。她上班的造型很帅气。
