RM2 Affair

It's first day of school again. I don't know.It doesn't feel all the same as my previous 'first day of school'-s. As usual, it was all chaotic at school. Fortunately, there wasn't much of a problem this semester except the fact that my PTPTN (after deduction) only left RM100 in my account T.T OMG How to survive??!

In situations like this, the only thing I can skimp on is my meals :P I am fat anyway so I guess its high time for me to cut out KFCs and McDs.

There is a community center called Excel (I think) at Sungai Dua and they serve decent meals for a fraction of a price.

Before a student get his or her meal, they would need to grab a card at the side of the door and pay after queuing up for the food.


All these only cost me RM2. Yes. RM2 You have a few dishes to go with your white rice (sometimes yam rice), a small bowl of soup, iced drinks and a piece of fruit. They serve lunch as well, for RM1. All tasted like home cooked food and perhaps yummier than home cooked? :P Luckily my mom don't online. I guess these are the things I will be missing most as soon as I graduate later next year (if no lecturer fails me *touch wood*).


Can you imagine? No more student price, student package, student promotion and most of all...student holidays....

By the way, they will only start serving RM2 meals by 5th January....Until then, it will be RM3 yucky economy rice (rice, 1 egg and a bit vege + a drink)...aih...

!Note: For students only!

Chinese Winter Solstice - Tong Yuen

Posted by Cokeworld Citizen | 12:00 PM | , | 2 comments »

It's this time around again where people would think...
"Hah? So fast?". Yes, its amazing how time slips through us without noticing!

These tong yuen (glutinous rice balls) are made and captured by my course mate back at her home. Wish my mother was a little bit more rajin then I wouldn't always have the unappealing pale pink, pale green and pale white *roll eyes*.

Huh? Food dye? No no~ My friend only uses natural food dye. Ok lah except for the red.

These rice balls will always have a soft spot at my heart. They are so cottony soft, chewy and you get to mess around with the rice flour dough :)

If you have the time do get the glutinous rice dough from a tong yuen stall opposite Traders Hotel. Their doughs are different on the class of their own. They do not stick to your teeth and QQ and no murky pandan syrup!

Happy rolling~

PS:
This year's winter solstice is a day earlier than usual. So instead of Monday (22 December), it will be 21 December. The newspaper mentioned that the sun or earth somehow rotates and reaches 270 degrees earlier than usual or sumthing...
