Jojo little kitchen @ Sri Hartmas

Got a lil hungry on a rainy Sunday and had no idea what to eat. We drove by Hartamas and thought hmm new restaurant (or so we think) let's try it since it has 'pan mee'. 

Little Grace commented that when she was here last weekend with her parents, it was not up to expectation as her drinks and food came wrong and service was rather slow. But what the heck, we parked, got out and headed in. Mozzies attacking the shit out of me.

Below are the pictures of the food we ordered, just dry pan mee thin type with some meat balls. Just like how we ordered everytime we went to Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee.

I don't really want to comment on the stuff in the bowl but noodles are kinda tasteless, egg is an egg, some salty ass stuff on the left and meat is kinda overladen with some sauce which I don't really like in Chinese cooking.

Though the meat balls would be better but once again did no good as it tasted like packet balls.

Does anyone not realise that huge ass anchovies are not crispy in the middle it just gets soggy and soft in the mid section.

Least the tea tasted like tea and the water was hot.

Maybe you might like it. I am not a foodie or food hunter and I anyhow eat stuff but just not to my taste buds liking.

Lay off the salt. Dry chilli flakes were spicy so 1 point!

But my friend recommends the one in SS2 and says its better than Kin Kin. Maybe different Branch different taste.

Bukkake Udon @ Ichiban Boshi

I thought and am very sure Bukkake meant 'Facial Cum Shot' for the Japanese AV porno industry. Found this on a menu whilst having lunch and went ahead to order it.

According to Wikipedia, when you google the word 'Bukkake' this is what you get :

1. A Japanese method of serving various types of noodles, in particular udon
2. Bukkake (sex act), a group sex act in pornography

Well, Udon and sex act is seriously not even related. But have fun reading the definitions, and I would take it as a plain bowl of udon with a splash of half-cooked egg gooeing all over the noodles like its a face of a female. Egg cum on noodle. Nice!

I am guessing this is the Japanese MY version of dry pan mee but its udon.

The above is a shot using an iphone 4 standard camera function with no apps.

Iphone 4S has better lighting and resolution. Sigh should I change my phone?

This is the gate to Nature's Inn Padang. Looks shabby but its a really unexpectedly clean and tidy place. Other than the occasional mosquito. You get TV, DVD, Food, Washing services, Water, toilet, good grade toilet paper (This is important). The place doesn't stink or is there dust on the floor. There is free wi-fi! Score!!!

Owners are Bob and Dewi! Extremely friendly and always share a good joke or two. The place looks grilled down and I think cause if an event someone does steal something...you can't just walk out and buy a surfboard or wet suit. There aren't that many dive shops around. Everything is expensive and hard to acquire. Safe would you be in bed once the gates are locked. 

Foosball time...try to beat little Ervin! Can you see that chicken right in the middle of the photo where the wall is...that's the manual alarm clock!

Chris the Fire boy!

Beware the gate keeper!!!!!!!!!

Ron the guard dog!

The peddlar auntie said, if my food is no good...you can complain to me tomorrow lol!

Today its surfing time. Below is a section of the Inn where all the stash is kept. Clean and tidy.

On the way up the hills and down the hills to Pantai Air Manis. Paddy fields in front of houses. Rare sight.

You get padded wide ass surf boards. 

Huts can be rented at Rupiah 20,000 for a picnic or a sleep ins

You pay to enter the beach about Rupiah 7,000 I think. Rupiah 2,000 to take a shower and Rupiah 1,000 to take a piss. Oh wait! It's Rupiah 2,000 to take a dump!

Goatee eveywhere

Doggies and puppies roam freely. I am very culturally shocked in this place. The Muslims are not uncomfortable around dogs. They just mind their own business. In KL!!! Lucky if no one throws something at it. In General i'm saying!

Crab holes. The water is very clear but cause of the volcanic ashes or sand, the water is brown. However, while walking into the sea, if you have an OCD problem I suggest you do not go in. There are heapsssssssssssss of plastic bags underneath. If you are the type that minds, I kid you not when I say there are heaps. But the surfing (or trying to even stand on a surf board) was really fun. Just don't mind the 3 meter waves for starters.

Indomee in Indonesia.

Es Apokat! Yummy!

We did it halfway kekekekek! So much fun I have a burnt face from the sun.

I am betting at night it feels like a old school Phuket with no prostitutes

Dinner time at the SEDERHANA Nasi Padang Restaurant.

Nasi Padang: You pay for what you eat or touch. It comes in a layers of plates and an array of seafood, eggs, vegs, exotic animal parts.

I am going to miss this place so much. Actually thinking of when I can go back again. Maybe the materialistic life isn't all that glamorous.

How to get here:

Catch a flight via AirAsia to Padang, Sumatra, Minangkabau Airport. 3 times a day!
