The World Spiciest Pan Mee(天下第一辣板面) @ Shi Fu Wantan Mee Restaurant (师傅云吞面)

Image
Last 2 weeks when i was in Chuai Heng Restaurant to attend Danny & Foong San wedding dinner, while waiting for the dinner to start(it started at 9pm -_-|||), Donny was sitting with me and he asked me whether i can eat spicy food. Yeah i actually love spicy food very much so he recommended this world spiciest pan mee which located near Cheras Leisure Mall to me. He said he and Shin Lee could not finish the bowl of pan mee because it was too spicy. Yesterday, i went to Midvalley Megamall with Moon in the early morning because there was a "I Am Nikon" fair and they offered free camera sensor cleaning service. The camera can be collected after half an hour, so we walked around and also have a look at the new Nikon J1 & V1 camera. After that, we left and then we went to Cheras Leisure Mall area to look for this restaurant. After i round and round for few rounds, lol...I finally managed to see the restaurant. This is how the restaurant look like, very traditional decoratio...

NZX Niu Ze Xui, the newly opened Malaysia largest covered boulevard located at Ara Damansara. I heard people saying that parking at NZX is quite difficult but i didn't face any problem to park my car. According to NZX website, they have 1800 car park bays, so parking at NZX is not a problem. Stalls selling Chinese New Year decorations... Beautiful plants and flowers... The covered boulevard...Many stalls selling shoes, clothes, accessories, hand phones and so on...But those shops were not open yet... 2 little indians promoting toys and balloons... Then we decided to have dinner at "Ka Fei Tiam"...Super long queue, we queue for 15-20 mins then only able to get in... After we ordered our food, took photo 1st...hehe... This is my noodle...forgot the name already :P Very small portion and the taste was normal only... So, we took a group photo before we left the "Ka Fei Tiam".... Then we rushed to the stage to see this...Actually we went to NZX to see this, but it wa...

Image
Finally i got my 1st ever prime lens : Sigma 50mm F1.4, woo hooo...So happy XD At first i was looking for second hand unit but the targeted seller seem like don't have the heart to sell his lens(i have asked few times when to meet but he kept saying will let me know but never do so after that), so i started to try to look for a new unit. I found that the new unit price of one shop is quite near to the 2nd hand unit price, so why not i get a new one? Below are some of the photos of my Sigma 50mm F1.4, taken using Nikon D80 + Carl Zeiss Jena 28mm F2.8 Manual Lens that Donny borrow from Yong, so some of the shots might be out of focus This is how the lens look like... 9 blades... Just got the B+W 77mm UV filter today, 77mm = Wallet pain, ouch... What you got in the box, and i forgot to include the lens hood,sorry hahaa.. Some sample photos taken by the Sigma Lens on my Nikon D80... This is the Carl Zeiss Jena 28mm F2.8 that i actually like it very much! That's all for the ...
