Lao Ma Zis Home Cooked Dishes Restaurant

Last Sunday on 24/02/13, I was brought to this highly recommended restaurant at Jalan Ipoh. Yew Vern and Janice were so suportive towards this place and I have decided to write a review on the food there. They have a corny tag line, "Reviving Local Dialect Cuisine".

Lou Sang

Since it was the last day of Chinese New Year, we had Lou Sang to start the meal. It was decent but definitely not the best I have taken.

Smoked Pork Belly

Then we ordered a few of the signature dishes there. The smoked pork belly has a special home cooked taste. The meat was succulent and tasty but it was the fragrance which distinguishes this dish from the other pork belly dishes.

Lily Pad Fish

Fried Fish

We had fish which a half was made to Lily Pad fish while the other half was fried. These two dishes are not outstanding but good enough. Apparently, the really good one is the Chin Cai Steam Fish. I kept making fun of the name because "chin cai" in Hokkien implies immaterial and indifferent (can't think of the exact English word now).

  

 

Salted Egg Yolk Bean Curd and Vegetables

The salted egg yolk too foo was pretty good and the vege was decent.

Located off Jalan Ipoh in the basement of Wisma Yoon Cheng

Overall, I would recommend this place. Need to go back again to try the highly acclaimed Chin Cai Steam Fish.

This restaurant is located at No. 726, Wisma Yoon Cheng (Basement), 4 and 1/2 Miles Jalan Ipoh, 51200 Kuala Lumpur. Opens 1100 - 1500 and 1800 - 2200 everyday except Monday.

Rant! Rant! Rant!

For the longest time I have been ill and cannot recover. I usually get much better after sleeping but I have been sleeping a lot and the condition remained the same. I must be under stress. Things have not been going well for me. A lot of things just cannot be completed. Sales which is already at hand cannot be concluded and has to be canceled. I feel like falling into an emotional breakdown.

Looking back at things, my life has really been too good. My rate of failures and rejections are relatively low and yet I find it really hard to stomach losing and move on. It makes me wonder how can somebody take so many rejections in life and I have seen many people who have to go through that. Is there no dignity, chance and future? I really feel sorry for them. 

As a matter of fact, I have been feeling loveless. Despite being a positive, optimistic and enthusiastic person, I feel drained, weakened and helpless. I just hate this feeling of hanging in the air and indecisive of how to move forward…

Maybe it’s a sign that things don’t happen don’t happen for a reason (I’m referring to my rental cases and there has been a lot of heartaches). Come on come on, let me have a good thing. I wish that when I fall, I will just pick myself up and started running again. Its great if I learned my lesson so that I don’t fall the same place again but its also good if I don’t know why I fell but I kept moving again cause staying where I fell and cry ain’t gonna get me nowhere.

Alright, just read the through 100 inspirational quotes and now I’m feeling much better.

I wrote the paragraphs above 12 hours ago. The inspirational quotes had significant effects on me. I’m still not feeling well but now, I’m up and running again. This time, it took me about 40 hours to pick myself up since the last defeat. The next time, I shall recover much faster!
