23: Of Animals, Fungus and Food (Bad Combination)

Today, Matt decided to come over and study, but I told him I'd follow him out instead. Off to Starbucks! After purchasing a big mug of coffee and orange juice, we sat down there and just did work from 10.30 a.m. till 2 p.m. . Yup, we were making the best out of the money spent on just 2 refreshments.

Matt told me he'd bring me to a "hot" Taiwanese eatery in 1 Utama, so, why not? Located near TGV cinema, is a really small restaurant called Shih Lin Taiwanese Street Snacks. Sporting a really small menu, not enough leg room for people with tall statures, not enough tables, but a hellu'va lotta people. We had the oyster Mee Sua and the store's famous fried chicken. Even though I'm not a fan of Mee Sua, the never seen before noodles (maybe) and the gooey soup was a insta-win with me. The fried chicken was really good too. My only gripe was that the expressions of the people serving you was sour enough to curdle milk. And yes, I didn't bring a camera along, only a bag full of workbooks.

When I got home, my dad told me about these weird mushrooms that were growing out of a pot where he was growing some chilli. It was kinda gross looking.

And since I'm in an animal loving mood, here are some animal pictures. The first two are pictures taken from Kiara Hill (5km hike. It resulted in my butt and ankles hurting for 3 days.) and the last was from the pet store in Ikano.

And I know I said that I'd update the blog name, but you know, laziness got the better of me ;)

@dr ve thru: Yeah. The caffeine kept me going realll long. The mushrooms look like something? I wonder what haha..

@firehorse: Kopitiam mana ade AIR-CON! Yeah, any strangely coloured thing should generally be non-edible, especially mushrooms. Even more for the gross looking mushrooms.
