Albee's Kitchen, Kingsford

Albee's Kitchen is a Malaysian restaurant on Anzac Parade, Kingsford. This is one place where you can find authentic Malaysian cuisine.

Decor
The setting of this place would be like your typical Chinese low price range restaurant - lots of tables cramped together, no table cloth etc. This place can get very busy especially during dinner time and really noisy as well. Be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes to get a table during busy hours. 

Food
Seafood Laksa - Home made laksa in a mild curry soup, coconut, fried tofu, bean sprouts and king prawns. This is your typical Malaysian curry laksa. It's very creamy, aromatic and a there's a generous amount of prawns.

Bihun Goreng Kampung - Fried rice vermicelli with fresh chilli, sambal, chili sauce, prawn, anchovies, chicken, egg, vegetables and bean sprouts. This is another very aromatic dish thanks to the sambal and anchovies. Even with the anchovies, I wouldn't consider this dish to be very fishy. I liked the fried egg on the top. It was semi cooked - with allow for all the yolk to ooze out on all the noodles like a sauce. This dish can be pretty spicy, so if you aren't about the spice, do tell them when you order it that you don't want chilli.

Drinks
There is a wide range of selection from the drinks menu. We had 2 hot drinks - Cham, which is coffee and tea mixed together; and Milo mixed with coffee. Very authentic to something you can find in a Kopi Tiam (Coffee shop) in Malaysia. You can get both drinks in a cold version too.

Service
This is one place where I can say the service is pretty non-existent. There's plenty of staff standing around, no idea why they weren't providing service. Probably it's the laid back nature of Malaysians. We needed small bowls, tried to get a waitress but ended up having to go to the counter and get one ourselves. It took us 5 minutes to find a wait staff to attend the counter to make payment while we were leaving.

 Takeaway Desserts
There's a very wide range of Kuei (Malaysian cake) for take away - Rainbow, Ang ku, Seri Muka, Tapioca, etc. We did take away a box of Rainbow Kuei and it didn't disappoint. Great texture, not too sweet.

 Price
The price of the food here is pretty reasonable for the amount of food served. Portions here are pretty big - so for the small eater, sharing a portion with someone is reasonable. Else, I suggest being environmentally friendly and bring a lunch box here (unless you want to pay extra for one). The price is slightly higher than the typical Chinese restaurant on the street - About $15 per person with drink, but is well worth it.

Hi guys! It's day 6 of our COVID-19 stay-at-home plan. I've decided to resurrect my blog by sharing our meals with you guys. Tonight on the menu is my version of a Kimchi Pork Stew.

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 7: Crispy Rice Cakes Recipe

Image
Hey guys! Just sharing a quick analogy about numbers and COVID-19 and why you should avoid the disease before I post my recipe of the day. Imagine you have a packet of M&Ms with 100 little chocolates in it. Now you're being told between 2-6 pieces in that packet has cyanide in it, and there are a few that will give you violent diahorrea what would you do?  1) Throw the whole packet away 2) Eat it cause I won't die from diahorrea 3) Eat it cause what's the risk of dying, it's just 2-6%?! 4) Eat it and share it with all your friends and family and even your doggy! Personally, the most logical answer for me is to throw the whole packet away. It's the same reason why I'm staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I guess it's really food for thought! That said, here's my recipe for today! I've had some leftover rice from last night and NO WAY, not wasting any rice as it's super hard to find rice out there. I've turn my lef...

How to pick your notebook for Bullet Journal

Image
The bullet journal is a "back-to-traditional" organisational tool. It has won many fans not only from those who like being organised with to-do lists, but also from many craft and stationary enthusiast. If you've not heard of bullet journalling (or bujo for short), it is a system using a combination of long term and short term to-do lists, coupled with calendars to keep organised. Variations include meal prep lists, shopping lists, goals, etc. Many craft lovers also use their bujos for variations of paper crafts (like scrapbooking) and calligraphy. There are a good variety of different types and styles of notebooks available on the market. One of the most common dilemmas most newbies to bullet journalling have is what type of notebook to use. It might seem quite trivial for those who have never stepped into the bullet journalling world, but in fact the different types of notebook are used quite differently. To pick your first bullet journal, I've tried to catego...
