Dimsum in SS2 - 10 March 2007

Around 7 in the morning I already arrived in Millennium Court to see my lovely 2 old friends Sze Yee and Yuit Fong. Well, there should be 1 more old friend (Anita), who was still staying in MC, but too bad that she went home on that day. In addition to them were Kenny and Yudy, so in total we went to SS2 on 5.

SS2 is actually located in PJ. But from MC, it is the nearest area where you can have dimsum I guess. Beside that, I want to go to SS2 to remember back the nice time when I had dimsum on new year 2005 with Yuit Fong and her friends.

Well don't ask me what the food is called, basically each of us just took what we wanted until the table was full. In my case... there were 2 things that I really2 wanted, which are Lo Mai Gai and the Chee Chong Fun. We ate ate and ate.... at the end.. everything just cost around 60 RM.

Yee Sang - 鱼生 - yúshēng - Raw Fish

Yee Sang ist eine Chinesisches Neues Jahr Tradition, die in Malaysia oder Singapur sehr verbreitet ist. Es ist ein Salat ähnliches Gericht, die rohes Fish oder Qualle enthält. Die wichtigste Tradition ist dass man die Zutaten mit Stäbchen zusammen mischen, und man muss sie mit den Stäbchen hoch heben. Je höher man hebt, desto mehr Wohlstand wird man im nächsten Jahr haben.

Yee Sang is another tradition that the malaysian chinese use to do during the CNY. For me it's something new that I learned and tasted in Malaysia. In Indonesia, well at least until now, I never heard nor read that word. In fact my friend in Indonesia who studied in Taiwan also didn't know about it.

Well... remembering the last year Chinese New Year (2005) in Malaysia, I just upload some pictures from the CNY Department Lunch, during my internship di Siemens Malaysia.

During my 7 months internship in Malaysia, I stayed in a student hostel called Millennium Court.

MC is located in Jalan University, directly beside the University of Malaya. The main to stay there was because it's near to Siemens Malaysia Office.

MC just has rooms, with shower inside, and doesn't have any appartment to rent. There are 3-, Twin-Sharing rooms, and also Single Room, with ceiling fan or air conditioner.
I stayed in a twin sharing room, the room is acceptable, depends on your roommate too of course.

You are not allowed to cook, and there's no shared kitchen anyway. But MC has it's own food court, and a convinience store. The variety of the food and the price is also acceptable.
