Wong Zhao Jun Restaurant 王昭君鱼头米粉

Have you ever heard of the story of Wang Zhao Jun (王昭君). She was one of the four great beauties (貂蝉, 西施,杨贵妃 and of course王昭君) in ancient China. The Chinese proverb, '沉鱼落雁，避月羞花' was meant to describe each of them. '沉鱼落雁' means the fish in the river would swim away and the flock of birds flying on the sky would fall after witnesses their beauty. In poetry, the moon and the flower represents pretty object. '避月羞花' means even the moon would shy away and the flowers are ashamed of themselves compared to these beauties. That was how good looking they were.

Sidetracked, back to the topic. It has got something to do with what I mentioned above. Hehe. Today is yet another hot day. No rain, not windy, makes me super lazy to step out of the house under the fiery sun.

My dad still suffers from shingles. Don't know what went wrong but he sought three different skin specialists already, each telling dissimilar stories, prescribing different medication. Anyhow, I pray hard that he gets well soon. Especially now that the school holiday is over, he had less time to tend to his own health.

Since we Chinese belief that when one is sick, there are certain things which they should not eat, such as chicken, eggs, yam, nuts and some other cooking materials which are considered 'poisonous'. Don't really have any idea how they categories them.

Anyhow, the most secure should be pork and fish. Lean meat porridge is mostly recommended for sick patients right? Therefore, off we go to Wong Zhao Jun for some fish cuisine.

This restaurant is located by the roadside of Rangoon Road. Though kinda shabby looking, one could not miss it from the crowd pouring in especially after 12pm. It opens everyday from 8am till 2.30pm, except Tuesdays.

There is no menu given, you can ask the workers taking orders for the dishes available. And here's our orders.

Fish meat hor fun at RM9. Recommended! I like this best. Too bad we got there kinda late and they ran out of fried fish fillet.

Fish meat bihun soup at RM7. The spices add in flavour to the soup.

Stir fry braised pork noodles at RM7. My parents love it. But for me the chef kinda gets too heavy on the MSG.

The dishes above are of the portion of one person. You can order a bigger portion to share out if going in a big group. But make sure you are early or else avoid weekends.

Appetite is growing nowadays. So must have a walk after the meal. Went to Sunshine Farlim and did some shopping. Saw Dell is holding an earth friendly campaign where people can sell their old computer or gadgets to them for 50cents per kg.

Tropical fruit feast! Pineapple and mangoes. Yummy!! How can a mango looks so pinkish? XD

Since its the last day of school holiday and perhaps I had been a really good girl these days, my mum decided to cook her best dish. I don't know what this fish is called but it is really good. The end result, my stomach still bulges, even bigger and I am determined I must move like the whole day tomorrow to burn off the excess calories. Haha. Hope so.

*some late updates

My parents have lived half the decade and they are finally having a laptop of their own. Thanks to the old one (secondhand from my sis, thirdhand from me) which broke down at a very wrong moment when my dad was desperate to rush for his work stuff.

The new 'baby' in the house. See it sparkles..

Dell. Pure brand loyalty shown

Being half an egg tart fan myself, just to show off some tarts I got from John King at Queensbay Mall. Creamy and eggy. How can one resist em? Hee

Some says life is like a dollop of shit, shaped into a cake. You can choose either to sniff hard for the disgusting smell or imagine the wonderful sweetness.

Wishing everyone a nice week ahead!~
