self service @ McD?



as the video i recorded, just an easy day having the burger with after branded (McDonald).
just looking around, found that many people was did their self-service on half only. how? that is they only do the serving w/o cleaning. see in the video, majority people will left over the tray and the "rubbish" on the table, supposed need to clean by own in order to complete the FULL self-service.

i had learned this from a friend, else i also did the same thing as others do.
Is nothing, but just to make a self-improvement in our civilization lifestyle.

its looks better if every one can do the FULL self-service, some how it will give us a good image and feel better right??

however, maybe this is Malaysian style? So, the makcik can hold the job as a cleaner worker in McD and earn some bucks for her family maybe? so i dun know. every thing come with pro n con. however, i believe, if most of the people can do the full self-service, maybe the makcik can rest more? or whatever..~

just my 2 sense thou... ^^

上编-西瓜

以前,小时候 学校假期 都会跟爸爸去工作。当然很多时候哥哥也到场,因为他比我还帮得多!我算不了什么。

来自小家庭,简单说爸爸是罗里司机,其实并不简单。这个司机不是说要会开罗里就可以当得来。爸爸的责任感很强!这点我一直以来都很欣赏。
爸爸的工作: 水果行 60% ; 稻谷行 40%

水果行,主要是西瓜85% 蜜瓜10% 其他5% 包括榴梿,山竹,红毛丹,南瓜。
载送水果的责任,要保护着水果免得它们受到损坏。每种水果都不同吧~

西瓜
它容易破裂,如果掉地或大力敲到就破了。而且西瓜还会有几种不同的种类。
在本地,当时我们经常遇见的种类称呼有如:
  • 黑瓜 /无子果 — 皮比较黑 也比较厚而坚硬, 所以比较不容易破裂,果肉红色没种子。平均重量7-8公斤算一般,遇过大的可以高达15-18公斤!
  • 花瓜 — 皮一般的绿色,斑纹比较清楚,皮厚硬度一般 没黑瓜那么坚硬。果肉红色,有种子。大小跟黑瓜不相上下。 当时候比较常见的一种,不过后来人们都换种黑瓜因为市场要求比较高,价值也较高。
  • 黄瓜 — 果肉黄色,有种子,皮比较薄斑纹清楚,容易破裂,身形椭圆长形,不过没黑瓜和花瓜来得大,一般重量4-6公斤, 7-9kg 算是大了
  • Orange瓜 — 果肉深黄色,距离皮大约1-2寸的果肉有时候是橙色的。 皮最薄的而且很脆的感觉,摆放得稍微大力一些就会破裂。身型与黄瓜差不多一样形状,斑纹也差不多一样,只是皮青色也黄果的稍微深暗一些。它比较巧小,一般大的有2-3公斤吧!
蜜瓜
我帮忙过的就只是一种一般的蜜瓜罢了。蜜果巧小。2-3公斤算大的!比西瓜圆得多,哈哈!皮很薄很薄,不过它果肉坚硬,所以不易破裂。果皮上有长着细毛,这些细毛会有点刺手,也会照成皮肤发痒。


所以呢,载送西瓜与蜜瓜的我们要准备一些措施来保护它们。最基本的干稻草,铺在罗里地板上当成防震动功能。还有纸皮,用来垫罗里的“铁篱笆”(榔竿)。有些人用海绵防震和鞋厂不要的鞋底胶垫榔竿。不过爸爸的经验说最好的还是干稻草和纸皮。这些只是道具,完整的保护方法还要看技巧呢。

蜜瓜最容易了吧,不必排放,就random 放可以了。只过蜜瓜怕水,如果潮湿的蜜瓜载上罗里,经过路程的遥远和震动,它们互相摩擦的效果,伤势不堪设想!所以一般上,收割好的蜜果在果园里要等到中午时候才可载送。那时候果皮上的露水都蒸发了。也因此收割蜜瓜最怕雨天了!蜜瓜很小,所以都双双般送。

西瓜可不一样了,要小心排放,通常底层要结实立排2-4层这样长程被压住的它们比较不容易损伤。要站立是因为睡着比较弱,道理跟鸡蛋一样。黄瓜和Orange瓜不能多载,压力太大的话底层肯定会有破裂。所以它们多时候都是寄放在上面而且是罗里前方,因为前方不会震得太厉害。西瓜没蜜瓜那样怕湿。只要不太湿就可以了,所以早上也可以载送。有些时候下雨过的果园,泥土都湿湿的,西瓜还被弄得像咸鸭蛋一班,被泥土弄脏,而爸爸通常都要我们接西瓜上罗里时顺便用布稍微抹掉大部分的泥土沙石。那个嘛,很讲究技巧了,一手接瓜一手抹瓜,然后再粒粒排好。罗里在果园的路行驶并不像道路那样平稳,要坐好也要顾着在排好的西瓜,免得他们被弄乱了。通常载送的重量是跟随买家的要求,我们会大概的载放西瓜到那个重量,然后去附近油棕,橡胶或稻米厂称重量。驾驶在马路上不能太快要减低震动力。

一粒粒的送上罗里,再一粒粒的送到买家店里。累是必定的!爸爸罗里可载放6.2-6.3吨的西瓜。这几千公斤在一天上和下就变成十几千公斤了!那来不累呢?!再累当中可以体会无边无界的绿色果园,那种蓝天绿地的感觉!还有累完放工的感觉真好!早出晚归很普通,不过每餐我们都吃饱!做着行人没有人会胃口不好!哈哈!而且我还学了一些,基本的拍一拍和听一听,西瓜是生是熟,是好是坏,大概可以辨认!

不过如今,爸爸已不做西瓜行了,因为人老了,老板也转行了!^^
有机会我还想去拍下那美丽的果园呢!不过现在没有机会。

Nasi Lemak Uptown!

To be sure, i'm a food lover, unlike food professional where even they tasted a small piece of fried chicken, they can give you a full list of the material had been used in cooking and able describe the taste like writing thousand word essay. For me, every things goes simple. The good things pass through my mouth, i say good. That's ALL.

OK, the good day which fall on 1st Wednesday of April, the day after i busy with my assignment, where i sleep 3 hours only because have to complete the assignment and pass it up before the expire minutes. LOL.

After i came back from office, mean i settled my job. I and few of my dear housemate, ring up some other friends, so with a total 8 of us, we are heading to PJ UpTown, Village Park Restaurant.
Time around 6pm something, we just take around 10-15mins to arrived here from our depart point(ss2, PJ). Here well known with their Nasi Lemak Ayam, where people call them BEST Uptown Nasi Lemak!! So, what else? Sure cannot wait anymore to taste this town BEST nasi lemak.

Get in to the restaurant, luckily not too pack of customer, may be there is not the peak time for this restaurant, where i heard people said if you come at noon, you may need to take your Q for having your nasi lemak! OK, we got our sit and start to place order! WOW, it does surprised me when the waiter told me that they only left the last 8 pieces of fried chicken, with 8 of us, what?! sure we fast to drop our order. I'm quite speechless, its only 6pm plus, this shop suppose operate till hours 2000, but the fried chicken was selling fast. And may be should say lucky, every one of us can have the well known fried chicken nasi lemak! Ther people came later have to order for other than the fried chicken. Really i feel lucky!! LOL.

Very fast they served their food. Here is how the nasi lemak ayam look like!

How should we call a Nasi Lemak a good Nasi Lemak? Nice looking? Good rice? Good sambal? Good condiments? Well, for me, a good food must taste good! am i right?! hahaha~ OK, this nasi lemak actually have every things good! Good looking, good smell, good rice, good sambal and good condiments last but not least the very good chicken!! these make the nasi lemak to best in town!! So may be you will ask me how good is it ya?

(1)Look: something like in the photo. the whole combination make a colorful nasi lemak.
(2)rice: the nasi lemak(rice cooked with coconut milk) is real good smell. and personally i like the non-sticky rice(一粒一粒的), to get this type rice should don't too wet as long as don't over dry. ^^ the rice it own already i can rate 4.8/5. however the size not too large, this make me order another add-on nasi lemak to share with my friend. or may be say it is too delicious??!!
(3)chicken: chicken here very nice in taste. it quite "soft" with crispy skin, somehow we need called it outer crispy inner soft? LOL. and the rempah they use was married well with the chicken thus make them very good aroma. and the size is quite big!
(4)sambal: the sambal is great. not too spicy not too sweet. but personally actually i prefer spicier one! :D this one is great for all, cause not every one like too spicy sambal. ^^
(5)condiment: the crispy ikan bilis(anchovies
) and the nuts, the cucumber slides and the fried boiled egg are all nice!!

So all of these make a perfect combination and bring out the real good taste of this Nasi Lemak Uptown!! i have no idea how to describe it anymore, the only way, GO n TRY it!!! :D

Beside, i order somethings new to me, Bandung ice blanded.

With the short-fat glass, it look just cute!! and it tasted not bad. You may have a try if you interested on it. :)

Here i attached a simple map from google map,


It wont tough to find, just near to LDP. The location of Village Park Restaurant is around the smiling face only. :)
