yoga lesson and food updates =)

one achievement.
i signed up for yoga classes, in les studio in PJ.
went for a trial lesson on Sunday-yogilates-yoga and pilates
the instructor taught the class on poses that concentrates on the abdomen and back.
and as usual, now my abdomen and back and shoulders are aching. ouch. and yes, it hurts to laugh. again.
wonder how many more lessons i have to take before not having to suffer the day after. sigh.
oh, i actually went jogging last week. BIG accomplishment. for me at least.

haven't been to the Thai restaurant yet. the other day, it was raining and the traffic was really bad. so we just post phoned it to next week.
oh, more food update.

a quaint nicely decorated restaurant serving delicious authentic home cooked nyona food.
TAIPING LANG. in puchong, opposite IOI mall.
let me tempt you with these pictures =p

do visit this website for more info- location, opening hours, menu ect.





once you enter, its like going back to the past. with Chinese oldies playing in the background (much to the delight of my mum) and old kitchen utensils hanging at the wall and many old stuff that we don't usually use today.gives a nostalgic feeling, to the older generation...
there are two sections that you can choose like most eating places. either to dine within the comforts of the air conditioning or the dine outside..

ok. coming to the main part. the food
we usually have our normal dishes that we order everytime we dine here.

this is ba kian..or something like that. its a meat roll which is deep fried. really yummy and full of flavour. goes well with sambal.

this is sambal hae bi-- prawn sambal, served with cucumber, cabbage and lady's fingers.not very spicy, just enough to tickle your taste buds =) my mum's, sister's and my darling's favourite...

this is bangkuang cha shredded turnip with squid and mushroom. served with lettuce. typical nyonya food...a good way of making me eat vegetables. heheh
they have a couple more dishes, like omelet with pickled radish, asam fish, tofu and other stuff...but we are not very adventurous.
good news for "rice-tongs" and "chilli lovers"--rice & sambal is free flow!!!!
and one thing i like about this place is that the sertvings are not too big, allowing us to enjoy a variety of dishes without feeling stuffed at the end of the meal. a real plus point =)
and on weekends they will have special dishes, like the last time we went, they had sambal fish, assam prawns and fried chicken on their menu.
drinks...their specialty is this leong cha drink with a really long name, cannot remember..its like cincau, with sweet basil seeds.
and they have tong yuen , small colourful glutinous rice balls in ginger-pandan syrup. the cutest thing is that thry seve it in those mugs used to serve coffee!!! also on their menu is bubur cha cha and ABC.
wide variety, good service (the food arrives less than 10 minutes) and very resonable prices. (meal for four- five dishes, two drinks and one tong yuen- only RM 44!!)
