Roast Duck at Weng Kee Restaurant

Simon Says: Girls, are you prepared for this coming Saturday MDG2 Audition in Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa. I was invited to be there. See you all there this Sat. ;)

The Rise of the Lycans starts Jan 09 << Does Vampire eat roast duck?

It was another lazy Sunday afternoon and I am working morning shift. As always me and my colleagues will drive out for lunch on Sunday morning shift. My colleague Fam is driving and we still haven't decided where to eat. I'm not really sure how he end up driving to Section 17, PJ.

Then one of my other colleague Felice suggested to have roast duck, and since there's not much time, so I suggested Weng Kee Restaurant that specialized in roast duck. There we go to have roast duck for lunch.

Weng Kee doesn't hang the roast ducks like other roast duck eateries do and the stall is located deep inside the restaurant. If you don't go in and see the plate of roast duck on the table that other customer is having, you won't know that they are selling roast duck.

Char siew and siew cheong.

Besides roast duck, Weng Kee also got char siew (BBQ Pork) and siew cheong (Chinese sausage). The char siew here is roast until quite dry and dark yet when I chew it is very tender and full of the sweet taste of caramel, sweeter than the one I had in Famous Seremban. I still say that char siew in Famous Seremban is the best I've eaten yet. The siew cheong is not bad at all with the right proportion of lard and liver.

Rating: 3.5/5

Roast duck.

We were quite disappointed with the roast duck. The skin is not crispy at all. Lucky the taste is not bad and the meat is quite juicy. Nothing to wow about, any roast duck stall in Kepong sells much better roast duck than here. Maybe next time we should go to Sunrise Roast Duck at Seapark to try the roast duck rice there.

Rating: 2.5/5

Sauce for the roast duck.

You might want to give the duck a miss if you happen to come here. I won't might coming back for the siew cheong though.

My plate of white rice with the dishes. The green vege comes by default I think.

Down our lunch with a glass or iced herbal tea. Not much choices of beverage here.

2008 New Year's Eve in 1 Utama

In my previous post, I wrote that I might be celebrating New Year Countdown alone in 1 Utama. Well, that's half true actually. I had dinner alone in Dave's Pizza & Vino, it's the last day to try out the Guinness Infused Meal promotion. Will post about it later.

After working from 8pm 30th Dec 2008 till 8am 31st Dec 2008, I went home and slept until 5 pm. Then I drove to 1 Utama to do some banking in HSBC Amanah and dropped by to visit 988 DJs that is doing live broadcasting in Studio V that Cindy blogged about here and here.

They're On Air.

DJ Sam happened to be there too to prepare to be the MC for the countdown party later that night in 1 Utama. I of course, took a picture with her. She's one of the DJ for 988 Hello Morning show, which starts from 6 am to 10 am every Mon to Fri.

Then DJ Luke took a commercial break from his On Air show K6 Clan. When he's going back to the studio, I manage to ask him for a picture. He's very friendly in person.

With DJ Luke

He later invited me to sit inside the studio while he's interviewing Master Kenny Hoo of Good Feng Shui Geomantic Research. Master Kenny is giving his bazi readings on the birth date sent in by the listener earlier.

DJ Luke also briefly interview me On Air, asking me my name and my new year resolution. LOL. My 15 seconds of fame on local Chinese radio.

Master Kenny, me, and DJ Luke.

Then it's almost time for DJ Anson to take over the time slot. I managed to get him to sign on the 988 2009 CNY album. He's one of the DJ for Hello Morning too.

DJ Anson

Also asked DJ Morna to sign on the CD and of course took a picture with her. She host the Weekend Queen show on Saturday.

It's a very comfortable place to do broadcast.

There's a countdown party in 1 Utama, and Justin Lo (側田) will be performing. Thanks to Charlie, who is working in Digi, we managed to get a good spot in the Yellow Zone. The party is main sponsor is non other than Digi.

Charlie not working but still wearing his employee tag.

Part of the crowd in front of us.

The DJ from 988, DJ Sam, and DJ Luke were the MC and also a DJ from Red.FM. The DJs from 988 also perform two songs from the CNY album, additional to Sam and Luke were Xin Yi, Morna, Anson, and Nick. I took picture with Xin Yi and Nick before in the Yeah! Award Celebration Dinner.

Most of the picture I took didn't turn out well. Here's one of Casey Tse, even though she's from Hong Kong, her debut album is a full Malaysian production.

Casey Tse (謝文雅)

I took a short clip of her performing her new song Fly from her debut album "I am Casey". One of her ballad "学了好久 AKU CINTA PADAMU" is very nice too.

After Casey's performance, it's time to countdown. The fireworks in 1 Utama is programmed to goes off according to the music that goes with it. The fireworks is so damn near that that I felt like the earth is shaking. It's one of the nicest fireworks I've ever seen. Even Justin (側田) said that.

After the countdown, it's time for Justin to perform. He sang songs like "Stuck On Up", "命硬", "決戰二世祖", "情歌", and 2 new songs from his latest album, "三十日" and "未輸". Due to the audiences encouragement he briefly sang two more song "Kong" and "好人" without music.

Stuck On You

決戰二世祖

DJ Sam ask for encore

After the performance ends I manage to take picture with 988 DJ cum Chief Program Director, DJ Tock Ping (林淑萍), now she only host the "Logon 1001" every Thursday night.

淑萍 jeh, the boss of all the DJs in 988

The traffic is too damn congested to take my car which I parked in 1 Utama. So, Charlie and I walked to his car, which he parked in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and we went to a nasi kandar restaurant nearby to have supper.
