Jasmin, Anne Chew And Too Phat
August 30th, 2006, Jason
I was waiting for someone at the entrance of MMU’s main hall when I saw a girl waving at me. The weird thing was I don’t know her. -sweat- I turned around and pretended I didn’t see anything. Then, she walked towards me.
“Excuse me, are you Jason from jasonmumbles.com?”
“Yes, and you are?”
“I’m Jasmin.”
“Oh, Jasmin. I know who you are.”
Just in case her blog crashes your browser numerous time, I print screened part of her post. Her blog crashed my Firefox thrice in a row.

I nearly exploded. -lol-
This is my first time taking pictures with my FZ30 during a stage performance, with red, green, blue, yellow and white stage lights changing every 3 seconds. Thus, making it very difficult for me to take clear photos. Hence, the lousy photos.

Claypot Beef Rice
August 28th, 2006, Jason
One evening, my course mates, Chi Ho and Alexander brought me to a place near our university for dinner. They claimed that the claypot beef rice that the stall serve is so delicious that I can’t say “not nice” or “so-so” to it.

I was having my doubts because
1) Chi Ho and Alexander aren’t a hardcore makan kaki like me and sometimes, I repeat, sometimes, they do have weird taste.
2) Beef is not easy to cook. The meat has its own smell / taste, which people don’t like. If the cook can’t control the fire or over cook it, the meat will be as hard as rock or as chewy as bubble gam.
3) I always have second thoughts about Malay cooks.
We each ordered a claypot beef rice (RM3.50 each.) and two plates of fried beef (RM3 each.) to share. It took quite a while before our food was served. First to come was the fried beef. First look at it, it looked more like stir fried than deep fried. A little bit of garlic and onion, some long beans with thinly sliced marinated beef, garnished with chilies and spring onions. Although its stir fried, there was no gravy in it. There was no significant smell either.


Taking a closer look at the meat, it looked like our Chinese’s barbequed meat (”Bak Gua” 肉干). Heck, it even tasted like one. -lol- It wasn’t rubbery nor hard, just the right level of tenderness and chewy-ness. Although it didn’t have any gravy, the meat had indeed fully absorbed the seasoning and by stir frying, the flavour was fully sealed. It was a very good finger food, no doubt.


The claypot beef rice is another variation of the stir fried beef. With the same ingredients, they added white rice in it. However, this has a little bit but very thick and concentrated gravy. Garnished with deep fried onions, spring onions and cili padi, the sweetness of the gravy and the spicyness of the chilies blended together into 1 taste that opens up your appetite.

True enough, I can’t say “no” or “so-so”. Definitely a thumbs up from me! However, maybe a little bit of gravy on both dishes would be another plus.
Did I mention they serve refill-able but diluted teh o ais for RM1? So, do you eat beef?
