Char Kuey Teow (Big) [Ramai Food Centre] RM 10.50

(Lunch)

This big is quite big, or I'm constrained by time.
It's quite good also for the price.

  • 2 prawns
  • Cockles, didn't count
  • Fishcakes
  • Pork lard
First meal of July, and I'm kidnapped by employed people.

Roasted Chicken Rice [Puteri Mart] RM 8.00

(Lunch)

Been a while since I had chicken rice. Not the one I expected, but still chicken rice.

  • Soup: quite good
  • Rice: quite good, would order seconds
  • Chicken: no comment, chicken is chicken
  • Chili: quite good, but takes the flavour away from the rice & soya sauce.
Wonder if I'll be eating with them for the time period.

Edit @ 25/8/2025: It's called "Feng Guang HK Style Roasted".

Kolo Mee (B) [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Not kidnapped by perma employees anymore, just me & the intern.
I'd have chicken rice if it wasn't for yesterday.

Nothing special to note about it, it's a nice meal. The soup is a little flavourless though.

Kampung Fried Rice [Double D Restaurant Puchong] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

"What's a 面粉糕", "I'm not really into 板面". I'm alone now.
Chicken rice is closed, I don't want to repeat order, not trying mixed rice until further notice, and wanting to try something new.
They may have forgotten my order, but they did signal that they forgotten.

I specified for fully cooked egg (the first time), it still came half cooked.
The rice is hot enough to cook through most of the liquids, so that's good.
Nothing special to quote as it's a decent meal, not as great as Dapo (when good), but still edible and decent.

Maybe I'll try the mixed rice soon.

Internship arc, begins. RM 456.93

Afterthoughts, July 31:
Well, that break was well deserved to prepare me for this... internship.

I'm barely 4 days in. I need to survive 75 more days.
Good Lord. The jam, the hustle, the struggle, my missing signature cup...

Make this the "wake up call" for me to focus hard to get a cushy job.
I now understand why people work at lower end jobs despite having higher end qualifications.
