Yesterday, I went to KL to follow my dad whose on duty .He had to go first because he had a meeting with the Japanese at JW Marriot Hotel .The hotel is situated in front of Pavillion.As he was in a hurry,therefore,he drove alone early in the morning. (yikes...something wrong with this statement)

My mom ,my younger sis and I  start our journey  at 11 am.We were backpacking and travelled by bus.By the time we  reached the first destination at  Central Market,our belly craved for fast food.Then,my sis persuaded us to go to KFC.

Afterwards,we headed to CM shopping complex for window shopping and we ended up bought my mom's dress.The dress is for my mom's annual dinner.To be frank,the owner of the boutique had a tough time to understand our talkings at first.Her understanding in Malay language is at crucial stage.So,I talked to her in English.I was so glad i was made it.I monologed to myself,no wonder KL people can speak English fluently.Everyone is talking in english.

After 3 hours at CM we took a cab headed to JW Marriot to check-in the hotel for one night.In the evening, my sis and I went for sight seeing nearby there while my mom stayed at the hotel room.Perhaps she was exhausted.

The next morning,after prayer Subuh ,I couldn't sleep ,so I switched on the TV and bumped into cooking channel.I watched the cook cooks and she named the recipies 'cheeze ... mussels'.I wondered what is mussels.Along the while,I had got what it meant and the word of the day- "mussels"

Actually, it is called 'kupang' in malay community.

dexa

ah...  so kupang and lala are two different things, then..  eh?

there's a small village called Kupang in Baling, Kedah
(my bro in law is from kupang) -
and there's an infamous Tanjung Kupang in Johor -
where MAS crashed december 4th 1977
killed then Minister of Agriculture - Dato' Ali Ahmad -

a tragedy for MAS  no doubt -

sunshine66

Kupang(mussel) and lala are two different kind of sea creatures in term of their color.Mussle has darker shell while lala has white brownish shell.

kupang(mussel)


lala

so, what you wanna know is -
what that steel is called?

i think it is called - ironing board holder -

you can put it inside the walk in closet
or behind the door -
it will hang your ironing board -

not sure if where you can get in here in malaysia
perhaps you can check out IKEA -

in canada we have that in consumer's distributing -

not expensive at all -
below 10 bucks -
less than rm20   i reckon -

sunshine66

oh..kupang..i never eat it in my entire life..what does it taste i wonder?

sunshine66

Have you ever tasted oyster?Its a bit of that.It tastes raw.

Normally, my mom  soaks in salty boiled water and add some seasoning flavor. It tastes great.
Basically, we eat mussel with rice or just eat by itself(?I'm trying to say that we can eat it alone).

p/s:correct me if i'm wrong.

Then, you should pay a visit to Ikan bakar(burn fish?grill fish?) at Umbai ,Melaka.I believe you won't regret it.I'm sure U will get overwhelmed with the seafood.

- less meat,rice,dairy ,oily,spicy food(maybe once a week).
- stop eating chicken as I am allergic as my easily gets itchy everytime i eat it.
-more fruit,veggie.
