Dinner with Tua Ee and Tua Tiau

Ping was at KL a couple of days back. Went down just to apply for Ping's US Visa. Yeap, it's been 5 years since Ping first step onto the land of opportunity. It's also been 5 years since Ping walked the street of KL, knowing where to find stuff and where's the best place to eat.

This trip is Ping's first trip back to KL since a long long time. The last time Ping was at KL, it was late night and Ping only went to Zouk with Edmund. Didn't get a chance to look around. This time Ping, mum and dad was out since 7am in the morning to beat the long queue at the US Embassy. Even then, Ping had to be in line for about 10 minutes. Thankfully, the application process took less than an hour.

Once the application was done, we roam around KL, going from Lot 10 to Bukit Bintang Plaza, walking to Low Yat Plaza, crossing the street to Berjaya Times Square. Most of the places still looks the same except that the 'hip' stuff are much different, which doesn't seem to suit Ping. Therefore, instead of shop till Ping is broke, Ping end up window shopping as Ping did not see anything that caught her attention. This is Ping's first time to Berjaya too - there's a Borders there!
Later that night, Ping get to meet Tua Ee, Tua Tiau and ML for dinner at a Chinese restaurant at SS15. SS15 is pretty much the same as before, cars everywhere, but the road to SS15 is totally different. Definitely not somewhere Ping can drive around.

We had kangkung belachan, tippan taufu, ang hu char chai por, thai chicken, and claypot hu piou. The kangkung belachan is really 'phang'. Ping tried to cook the same thing using spinach but belachan and spinach just doesn't seem to match very well. The ang hu is very fresh and it is also unique since people don't usually use chai por to char hu. Best of all, where can we get such fresh ang hu in Michigan??? Definitely gotta eat lots of fish while Ping is back. Even if they do have this fish in Michigan, by the time it is sold to us consumers, all Ping can get is the fillet. The tail and head would be gone.
