~project food haunting: gomok cafe~

Hipster cafes are growing like mushroom in Ipoh...Gomok cafe is one of them...Located in the centre of Ipoh town, you have probably came across Gomok at the corner shoplot while you are roaming about here...It has a cute round chubby belly dude in an office attire as its mascot...

Why it is named as Gomok?

Actually I do not have an exact answer for that...It is probably because...

• Gomok is related to 'Gemuk' which is fat
• The foods are served in a big sized portion
• You will end up fat if you eat a lot (that is a fact...lol)

Gomok had been operating for almost two years now...I finally got a chance to pay a visit here on last Thursday...Honestly, I am not keen to make an appearance in Ipoh town because of several reasons...The road here is quite congested, it is hard to find a parking space and the MBI personnels are everywhere to issue you with their summon letter...

Last Thursday evening, I drove my friend to UTC Ipoh to renew her driving license...I brought my sisters together with us...Since everybody was hungry, we decided to have our dinner nearby before we were going back home...And that was how we were end up dined in Gomok Cafe ...

Decoration

My first impression when I stepped my foot here was a ''wow''...I found that Gomok cafe was quite nicely decorated...I love how they decorated this place...Simple, neat and tidy but trendy...Not forget to mention on the lighting effect, it could give you to experience a kind of romantic feeling...

Foods

When we looked at the menu, it took us a moment to decide what to eat...Just like we were in the middle of an exam, thinking on the best answer to choose...I am a kind of a go for a cheap food person...For me the price here was not that cheap...As far as I could remembered the main courses price, range from RM 15 and above...For the signature drinks it would cost you from RM 5 and above...But still, you could get a bottle of mineral water at RM 2...

Above from the right: Honeydew Juice, Carrot Juice

Below from the right: Belgian Hot Chocolate, Ice Lemon Tea

Gomok Cafe offers you with fusion local and western delicacies...Usually when you ate western food, most of the restaurants offered you to choose either one of these gravies, brown sauce, mushroom sauce or black paper sauce...What was different about Gomok compared to others, the western foods here served with varieties of unique gravies such as cream spinach sauce which i never tasted before...

Mashed potatoes for kids

Above from the right: Chicken Ren, Cannelloni Beef

Below from the right: Spicy Seafood Aglio-Olio, Blind Date

The foods presentation was nice and they came in a quite big portion, suited with the price...We were struggling ourself to finish our meals...We tried both of its local and western dishes that day...Overall, the fried rice tasted just so and so whilst the pastas tasted quite good...

Services and Facilities

Eventhough it is a corner lot, the premise was quite narrow...I personally thought that this premise was quite small and have limited seating place...That day, by 2030 hours, the premise was almost full with customers...I am not sure whether the second floor already opened for the customers or not...

Cellular respiration is considered as an exothermic redox reaction which release heat...That is why we tend to feel extra hotter especially when we were in the crowd...Here, you do not have to worry about that matter... Eventhough the premise was quite small, it was well ventilated...It got fans and air conditioner now...

It would not take you a longer time to wait for you meal to be served on your table...Or meals arrived within 20-25 minutes after we placed our order...And what I like most, our meals came in at one go...If you are looking for a free wifi, unfortunately, no free wifi provided...But it was not a big deal for me...

You do not have to worry if you do not bring a lot of cash with you...You can pay your dining bill by using your debit or credit card...Before we were leaving this premise, one of the staff asked our feedback on their meals...What could I said more ''I am full'' ...lol

~cornea abrasion~

Foreign bodies and abrasions are the most common causes of conjunctival and corneal injuries...Although superficial foreign bodies often leave the eyes through tears without leaving a residual abrasion, others might stay on or within the cornea...A foreign body trapped under the upper lid cause more vertical corneal abrasion that worsen as a result of blinking...  

Most people fully recover from minor corneal abrasions without permanent eye damage...However, deeper scratches can cause corneal infections, corneal erosion or scarring...If not treated properly, these complications can result in long term vision problem... 

It happened to me last Friday...

I am a rider...I used to go to work by riding my motorbike...I love riding instead of driving as for me it is more time consuming...Furthermore, finding a parking space to park my car could give me a headache as my working place did not have sufficient car park for their staffs and even for the visitors...

As a rider, it was not the first time i got something stuck in my eyes...I experienced it before, several times but that day it was the worst...I got it when i was trying to override a lorry...At first, I thought that I got dust inside my left eye...I ignored it and continued my ride until I reached my working place...

When I reached there, I rinsed my left eye with water, pulled my upper eyelid over the lower eyelid and inspected my left eye, tried to find for the object but I could not found anything...It was really discomfort and painful...It was not a dust...I probably got sand trapped under my upper eyelid...

I continued working as usually hoping that my eyes would flushed out the sand on its own...Toward the afternoon, the pain worsen...My left eye turned red and keep on tearing continuously...I could not beared it anymore...I need help...

I went to the emergency department...They irrigated my left eye...Eventhough, nearly three quater of irrigation water went in...It was not working...The sand was still there...I become more anxious...They referred me to the eye specialist...

My suffer and pain finally over...She was able to remove the object that trapped under my upper eyelid under slit-lamp examination...It was a sand, a very tiny one...I felt relieved...The continuous tearing stopped at the moment the sand had been removed...But the pain still persisted...

She told me that I still in pain as my cornea was injured and the pain will be subsided by time...My whole cornea was scratched but luckily it was just a superficial abrasion...She prescribed me with pain killer and several eyes drops including antibiotic eyes drop...

She advised me to rest my eyes, limit the eyes exposure to the light and if possible just get myself rest in a darkened room...I need to visit her again on Monday for follow up...

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

And sorry I could not travel both 

And be one traveler, long I stood 

And looked down one as far as I could 

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 

And having perhaps the better claim, 

Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 

Though as for that the passing there 

Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 

In leaves no step had trodden black. 

Oh, I kept the first for another day! 

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 

Somewhere ages and ages hence: 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 

I took the one less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.

~project food haunting: sudu cafe~

Eventhough I am travelling back and forth via this road, I am only started to notice about this place later in the end of 2015...That day, my brother and I was on our way back home...We were looking for a place to celebrate our sister's first pay check...

At first, I thought that this place was named as SUSU instead of SUDU...Because when you see it from far, the letter 'D' looked like an 'S' for me...But thanks to Mr. Google for correcting me...Since my first visit here, this place has become one of my favorite eating spot... 

Things that I like about Sudu Cafe:

Foods

They provide you with varieties of local and western dishes at a very reasonable price...Their main specialties are 'mee ketam' and district coffee...

Mee Ketam

If you are a coffee lover, get yourself to try their different types of coffee from various district of Perak...The coffee here smell and taste good...It would bring back your sweetest oldies memories...And I am pretty sure that you would not regret it...

My sister with her fish and chips

Chicken Sausage

The foods here are delicious and presentable...Some of the food's portion is more than sufficient...I enjoyed their spaghetti carbonara most as it taste unique...If you are craving for 'ubi kayu rebus' come and visit this place on Sunday...

My favorite dish

Cucur Udang with Sambal Kacang

Ubi Kayu Rebus

Decoration

I like how they decorated this place..Simple, neat and tidy...You can find a lot of inspirational quotes pasted on the wall...

Services and Facilities

So far, the staffs here are quite friendly and helpful...The waiting hour for you meal will take about not more than 30 minutes depending on the number of their customers...

While waiting for your meal, you can surf the internet by using their free wifi...By that you can save your internet data...If you are running out of cash...Do not panic...The ATM machine is just next door...

Last but not least if you are looking for a good place to eat in Ipoh, feel free to visit...

~dreams that manifest into reality, are you ready for it?~

What types of movie buff are you?

I am the horror addict...I love horror movie so much...The horrifying gore, monsters, insanity and the supernatural things fascinate my sense so much...

I am not a brave person actually...I even covered my eyes in the middle of the terrifying scene...But the fear excites me anyhow...Being scared out of our wits is a kind of fun concept...The more fear I feel, the more I enjoy the movie..

This is the fourth horror movie that I watched for this year...I had watched Munafik, The Forest and The Boy before...Initially, I planned to watch The Faith of Anna Waters with my best friend, but the IMDb rating is not too promising...

My best friend suggested us to watch this movie as she had been captivated by the movie trailer...Furthermore, this movie is a kind of different from those movie that I watched where the horror movie is told through the eyes of a child...

THE SYNOPSIS

Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) are struggling to maintain a healthy relationship after the heartbreaking death of their son, Sean (Antonio Romero)...As they no longer able to conceive another child, they decide to adopt a kid in order to start a new life...

They take in a cute, bright and instantly likeable 8 year old boy named Cody (Jacob Tremblay)...But there is one odd thing about him...Cody is scared of falling asleep and will do anything to stay awake...They assumed that his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep.. 

Apparently, Cody has a mysterious gift that able to make his dreams literally come true whenever he sleeps...Through Cody's imagination, Jessie and Mark able to experience wonderful images...But downside of Cody's dreams lies a nightmare known as ''The Canker Man''...

THE REVIEW

I think this movie lacks of visionary touch and depends too much on jump scares...''The Canker Man'' from Cody's nightmare is not scary at all...He looks like a monster from a video game...However certain scenes that took place in dark or quiet surrounding manage to evoke an ominous sense of fright and eeriness...

I like how  Flanagan and Jeff Howard combines supernatural elements with heartfelt themes that deal with loss and parental love...As a grieving married couple trying to cope with the death of their son, Kate and Thomas bring enough refinement to their emotionally vulnerable characters....

Not forget to mention on Jacob performance as Cody, it is really wonderful...He was the essence and soul to the movie...I deeply fall in love with Cody characters...And I am pretty sure everybody would dream to have a child like Cody...

Lastly, the movie is not something that is typical and predictable...The plot was arranged creatively...I loved the idea at the end and how the ending was a bit open, making the audience think a bit for themselves...

For overall 6.5/10 from me

tazkirah jumaat #6

''Apabila salah seorang kamu melihat mimpi yang disukainya, sesungguhnya ia daripada Allah, maka khabarkanlah kepada orang lain, dan sekiranya dia melihat sebaliknya daripada apa yang dibencinya, sesungguhnya ia daripada syaitan, maka beisti'azahlah, dan jangan mencaritakan kepada orang lain, tiadalah ia (mimpi) dapat memudaratkannya...''

[Sahih Al-Bukhari dan Muslim]

''Apabila telah menghampiri zaman (kiamat), mimpi seseorang yang beriman itu hampir-hampir tidak dusta, dan yang paling benar mimpinya dikalangan kamu ialah orang yang paling benar percakapannya. Dan mimpi orang muslim (yang sentiasa bercakap benar) itu adalah sebahagian daripada 45 bahagian kenabian. Mimpi itu ada 3: Mimpi yang baik, khabar gembira daripada Allah, mimpi kesedihan/kebimbangan kepada syaitan dan mimpi daripada perkara yang dilaluinya sendiri (terkesan daripada apa yang terjadi kepada dirinya). Maka apabila seseorang daripada kamu melihat apa yang tidak disukainya, maka hendaklah dia bangun dan menunaikan solat dan jangan dia ceritakan kepada orang lain...''

[Sahih Muslim]

''Tidak akan kekal dari kenabian melainkan al-mubassyiraat (perkara-perkara yang menggembirakan), para sahabat bertanya: apakah mubassyiraat itu, jawab baginda: mimpi yang benar''

[Sahih Bukhari]

''Dreams are the touchstones of our characters''

Henry David Thoreau

Dreams are basically stories and images our mind creates while we sleep...Dreams can be entertaining, disturbing or bizarre...They can make you feel happy, sad or scared...And they may seem confusing or perfectly rational...

Dreams can occur anytime during sleep especially during deep sleep when the brain is most active...We all dream even if we do not remember it the next day..Some expert say we dream at least six times per night...

Why do we dream?

What do dreams mean?

Can dreams turn into reality?

~hands only CPR~

Last Thursday, I attended a training on basic life support (BLS)...It is compulsory for us, the health care provider in Malaysia to renew our BLS certificate on every 2 years...My name was listed to attend the course as my certificate will be expired soon..

The American Heart Association (AHA) changed and revised their guideline on BLS every 5 years...So by attending the course, we could update ourself with their latest changes, enhancing our skill in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and preparing ourself in the real event of cardiac arrest in hospital setting...

the code blue mock drill

this is how we going to respond when one of our patient suddenly collapse 

Most people who experience cardiac arrest at home, workplace or in a public location die because they do not receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene...As a bystander do not be afraid...You could provides life saving care by learning hands only CPR...

What is hands only CPR?

• CPR without mouth to mouth breaths
• Intended for bystander untrained in CPR
• Recommended for situation when the rescuer is unable or unwilling to provide mouth to mouth ventilations
• Recommended for use by people who see adult suddenly collapse in the ''out of hospital'' setting

How to perform hands only CPR?

Step 1

If you see someone suddenly collapse, check the scene for safety...And then check whether the person is responding to you by tapping on his shoulder and shouting ''are you okay?''...

Step 2

Briefly look for breathing...

Step 3

If the person does not respond, call or send someone to call the local emergency number right away...

Step 4

If the person is not breathing or gasping, prepare to give chest compression...Kneel besides him...Put the heel of one hand at the center of chest...Place you other hand over that hand leasing your finger together...Position your shoulder directly over your hand, keeping your arm straight and your finger of the chest...

Step 5

Push hard and fast, at least 2 inches and allow the chest to rise completely before pressing down again...Do not take off your hand of the chest, just your weight...

Step 6

Keep going...Do not stop compression until the person shows an obvious sign of life like breathing, scene become unsafe, automatic external defibrillator (AED) is ready, you are too exhausted to continue or trained responder take over...

How to ensure effective chest compression?

• Push hard and fast
• Push with the rate of 100-120 beat per minute (new guideline by AHA 2016)
• Push at the depth of at least 2 inches
• Allow chest to rise completely before pressing down again

How do we know 100 beat per minute of chest compression sounds like?

Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to beat of the classic disco song ''Staying Alive''...This song has the right beat for hands only CPR

It is simple right???

So, do not be afraid to offer your hand...You could be a hero...You also could save a life...

tazkirah jumaat #5

Dalam sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan Saidina Ali ra, Nabi ada bersabda yang bermaksud:

''Wahai Ali, sesiapa makan makanan yang halal, maka cerahlah fahaman agamanya dan lembutlah hatinya dan tidak tertutup doanya kepada Allah''

''Wahai sekalian manusia, makanlah dari apa yang ada di bumi, yang halal lagi baik dan janganlah kamu ikut jejak syaitan''

[Surah Al-Baqarah:168]

''Diharamkan bagimu (memakan) bangkai, darah, daging babi, daging haiwan yang disembelih atas nama selain Allah, yang tercekik, yang terpukul, yang jatuh, yang ditanduk dan diterkam binatang buas, kecuali yang sempat kamu menyembelihnya''

[Surah Al-Maidah:3]

spontaneous thursday #14

How did you response when you suddenly noticed that there is a food worm in your meal???

It is freaking me out...It is totally gross and disgusting...And I could not stand it...

But one man's trash is another man's treasure right?

Around the world, people eat bugs, worms, tarantulas, duck embryos and tons of other weird dishes...It could be totally weird for us but for them it is such a luxurious delicacy...

Here are some of the strangest foods around the world...You may need a strong stomach to deal with it...

Warning!!!

Do not eat while reading this post...I am afraid that you might thrown up if you are doing so...

BALUT

A developed duck embryo boiled alive and eaten in it's egg...Commonly consumed by the Southeast Asia people and often served with beer...The ideal Balut is 17 days in the Philippines but the Vietnamese prefer the 19-21 days old one...

CASU MARZU

A rotten cheese...It is a traditional sheep milk cheese from Sardinia, Italy...The cheese makers set the cheese outside and allow cheese flies to lay eggs inside of it...The larvae then breaks down the cheese's fats and fermenting it...The Italian just eat it with those white worms on the cheese...

KIVIAK

This one comes from Greenland...A bunch of dead birds left to rot in a seal carcass...They covered the seal with a large rock pile for 3 to 18 months and then eat them raw...

THOUSAND YEARS OLD EGG

Origin from China...It is made by preserving eggs in the mixture of ash, salt, quicklime, rice hull and clay for several weeks or months..

SANNAKJI

It is a raw Korean dish that consists of live octopuses with sesame and sesame oil...It looks safe but the little tentacles may choke you to death if it stuck in your throat...

IKIZURI

It is a sashimi from fish, octopus, shrimp or lobster but fish are commonly used...The chef fillet it without killing the animal and served it on the plate with it sliced flesh and still heart beating heart...

ESCAMOLE

It is an ant larvae from the roots of Argave Tequilana or mescal plants in Mexico...

MONGOLIAN BOODOG

A marmot or goat, cooked within it's own skin with hot stones in the stomach...

INSECTS AND WORMS

You can find varieties of deep fried insects such as worms, bamboo worms, moths, crickets and scorpions in Thailand...

P/S: Does it looks yummy to you?
