The Putrajaya Wetlands...

I  no longer could drive out of the vicinity of my home in Ampang Jaya. The furthest is the KLCC and the GE mall at Jalan Ampang. Of course I always drive to the Ampang Point which is just two kilometres away where I get my grocery. As to continue moving around I am finding new way to travel outside my comfort zone. So last Saturday with the help of the former driver of my daughter who now works somewhere else I managed to get him to be my part-time driver. He has agreed to do that only on Saturday and Sunday; both are his off day from his official work as driver. So last Saturday with him driving I manage to get to Putrajaya, first to watch the Hot Air Balloon Carnival and then move around that capital city to take more picture of buildings there.

Then on the way back the driver took me to have a look at another area of the Putrajaya Wetlands. There I saw for the first time an area especially develop for water birds to feed and move around on that part of the lake. It was indeed an enchanting sight to see so many kind of birds moving gracefully on the  surface of the lake. I notice there is a bird feeders where all the birds came to feed regularly. At that time there were many birds feeding there. I managed to take some images of the many birds that was there that fine Saturday morning. Above is an enchanting scene of the enclave of that lake. I shall write more about this part of the Putrajaya Wetlands later. 

Have a nice day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made th...

Twinkle Villa Janda Baik...

A few months ago, I surfed the net trying to find an outback resort in the jungle of Janda Baik, an enclave of the east side of the main range of Malaya, for a short retreat with the family. In Malay the main range is call the Banjaran Titiwangsa. Most of the forest in the main range of Malaya are some 160 million years old since it was not touch by the ice age. In the search I stumble upon the Twinkle Villa and decided to explore more from the resort website. It looks interesting with a concept of a private villa where the guests are limited in numbers. Since this is something new I then told my daughter Lin to check and maybe one of these days we could just go there. She did her homework and then make a booking to get the whole family there on the weekend that she is free. As usual with a three-generation family it difficult to get everyone along in one go. In the end she books a villa that could accommodate six and was allotted the Villa Resak. All the villas are names after ...
