Kg.Nakhoda Batu Caves, the land where delicious breakfast made!!!

i am raised in Kg.Nakhoda,they said this village name have something to do with the legend of si tenggang(which I am totally have big doubted about that because the last time I check si tanggang statue is in indonesia)but today we are not going to argue about that, today, i am going to bring you to my heaven every morning.welcome to Kg.Nakhoda the land where delicious breakfast are made. its never been a question  to find a food in here but the challenge is where and what.

1. kedai nasi lemak dekat simpang berdekatan markas pas

the reason i like this place because of its popia sambal.you should try it.the popia its sweet and crunchy.its feel like you a wearing comfortable but very striking georgete made blouse or one of sazzy falak collection.sweet and crunchy.the sambal for nasi lemak is nice too.i rarely buy any lauk with the nasi lemak here but you can try,its worth its.

2.kedai di gerbang masuk nakhoda

jarang sangat beli dekat sini.but during my time working time  in 7e nakhoda.this restaurant open very early in the morning. this is the favourite place for pak cik2 yang balik dari sembahyang subuh untuk beli sarapan.my favourite food here is nasi ayam, but its only serve during lunch time.

3.also located at simpang nakhoda

always buy their delicious roti canai.in term of roti canai i alway picky about the kuah that serve together.to have the mojo the kuah it self must complete the roti canai just like how you will choose very elegant shoes to wear it with the new HATTA HIM garment.if you wear selipar jepon with boom garment you just kill it.trust me!!!

4.kedai mamak berhadapan JKR quarters

the favorite place for me and my friend syafiq to eat roti canai or roti bom when we want to have breakfast togetther.because its mamak there is nothing I can say about the taste.kuah dia pon ok too.just wish is much more.....wonderful.

5.gerai nasi lemak pondok di nakhoda kiri.

there is three thing you should try in here:

1-the rendang,rasa pedas dan kelembutan ayam is blending sooo well.you can even taste the spices with every chew you had!!!

2-cekodok pisang its one thing  every customer must buy there.the sweet and cruncy taste its something you should never miss.

3.sambal tempe the most awesome sambal tempe in this village.my favourite!!! 

6. 2 gerai di nakhoda kanan

both of this stall is my brother in law favorite place to buy breakfast for his children and i can understand why,because of variety of food from nasi lemak to spagethi you can find it in here. also the variety of kuih there are heaven too.have i said that the price for nasi lemak its only RM 1.20.

7.nasi lemak surau laksamana

ini tempat kesukaan saya untuk membeli nasi lemak.this place just like fashion valet in nasi lemak stall version.nasi lemak dengan sambal yang sedap.sometime they sale bakery.kuih muih yang lembut dan langsung tak mengecewakan.ohh lauk pauk dia..... dari sambal sotong ke sambal paru.dari ayam sambal ke sambal kentang everything its sooooooooooooooooooooooooo perfect!!!

8.nasi lemak jalan  bunga tanjung

this place run by very sweet husband and wife.the sambal is nice.lauk2 dia pun sedap.the reason why i love to buy food in here not only because of the delicious food they have, but also because of this lovely couple.

9.gerai mama prima taman jasa

you know when  glam june 2015 named rizalman  as fashion royalty in malaysia i will not hesitate to name this stall as royalty in nasi lemak world at least in this area.you should try the sambal sotong it was breathtaking. other lauk was 5 star too.they only provide 2 type of kuih.donut and karipap both are majestic.this is the best place to choose to buy your nasi lemak!!!!majestic!!

10.kedai roti canai cik din berdekatan rumah bumbung minang

sometime I also bought my breakfast here.cik din and his wife run this small stall together.you will enjoy his fun attitude while waiting for your roti canai.they also sale nasi lemak.my favorite is nasi lemak lauk ayam.i love the authentic taste from this place.

11.gerai bawah pokok nakhoda tengah dekat tabika kemas nakhoda

you want something else,feeling too much nasi lemak  already,well in here you can find delicious nasi dagang and nasi kerabu to serve your appetite.

2/5star

12.gerai nasi lemak cik ani di jalan laksamana 8

this place belong to my old friend.she also sell nasi lemak.and the sambal is worth your money too.

if you happen visit any of this place take a selfie then!!and send it too me or # naqimerah and i will send a beautifull brooch collection to one of  lucky readers.!!

#sexybooktoread "Contemporary Jewelry Design " cypi press

Soo I am a geek and I loooveee to read(wait,its sound like gaga ),for me a reader is sexy,soo I would start to write about all the design,business, and craft book that gives me inspiration.hope if you have a chance to read it you will feel the same!

Contemporary jewelry design is a new design book I borrow from Kuala lumpur Library,the second most stylish library in kuala lumpur after Matrade library. The book showcases over 40 designers from around the world, from established names in jewelry design to less-known rising stars, whose work embodies the diverse production techniques and design concepts that define modern jewelry. What interest me the most is how a jewellery can be made from various sources and the outcome was exquisite.among my favourite artist is hanna hedman a Swedish designers,sun jie with his big fish brooch and Yan Rui with her artwork The life Cycle Of Autumn Cicadas. With a lot of interesting  pictures,a view from desiners and the explanation about what kind of material used for every design make this book worth to read.my mark for this book is 7:10.its give me inspiration and bring me the new perspective to jewelry design.my favorite quote is:

“market identities and name branding possibly always existed in the art world.but were eschewed as toxic values which undermined the transcendent value of art.”jivanAstfalck,jewelry artist,educationist.

few hot spot at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2016 @ Matrade

Facit 2016 has back at matrade, for b2b in fashion it was among  must go annual event.but this year for me it was a bit pale,just like 2016 pantone colour Roze Quartz and serenity blue .the scale and backdrop is much smaller compare to last year. and then unlike last year I can't find any top designer.last year I am able to meet Melinda Looi,Joe Chia and few other Malaysian fashion royalty but not this time.well still it was amazing event and I heard one of Muslimah hijab boutique owners has succeeded to get a few MOU sign that worth for their business.so here are few hot spot I find interesting at FACIT 2016

1.Korean designer booth

every time I watch korean drama is not only the actor or actress that make me glued in front of television it also the fashion that the stylist makes them wear that interest me the most.In this pavilion, you can meet some of korean talented designer with their collection.from what I can say korean designer are quite experimental,fun,and daring.

 2.

2.Epson Malaysia Booth

this is my first time, to see how fabric printer looks like and how does it work,and the exhibitor there are very kind enough to entertain our question about the printer and even give us some free t-shirt made using Epson fabric printer. 

3.Business and Profesional Woman Malaysia (BPW) booth third floor

this booth located at third floor are quite hidden from the rest but its worth to visit.BPW bring us few amazing woman entrepreneur with their wonderful product.

polymer clay and folk art from Y.F. Phang with the catchy  polymer accessories for woman like, rose brooch,necklace, and hijab pin that gonna make your eyes pop out,.

and the trio girls that come together for organic scrub and foot detox for your skin.i give it a shot and it was....marvelous!! thanks to madam Juliana Ramlee from lavenderfootdetox and miss syaza Ibrahim from vvhomemadescrubs.

4.P.Bee and Joanne the pet clothing designer

this one is the cutest booth in klfw 2016.you can't stop looking at all the small beautiful clothing and accessories  that they made,  at first glances, I almost thought it was for babies, but it turn out it was made for the pet.

5.ga-las

soo you are looking what is the next hot stuff in the fashion industry.Ga-las might be the answer.the material they used are not the ordinary material used in making woman  bag but it turns out to be very interesting.you know this bag remind me of crocs, hope its will be a triumph for them compare to the tragedy faced by the company that releases crocs.

6.No Monkey booth that gives free lips balm CiUM

people always miss the beauty and health hall when they visit KLFW.come on fashionista no matter how beautiful your dress are, without your good look it's not gonna fly,so go and visit this hall and don't forget to grab this amazing product for FREE!!!

7.UITM ceramic design faculty booth.

ever heard of Grayson Perry, I do not realize that UITM has diploma and degree in industrial ceramic,rantai seramik yang dibuat oleh artisan uitm benar2 menarik perhatian saya.it make me fall in love with ceramic art!!

8.few interesting designer booth to visit

-ruzz gahara

-tuhfah

-Alfian tailors

-E-Cheru

-Nawre

and etc..

this is the owner a.k.a designer of Alfian Rahmat and Son(tailors)saya cukup berkenan dgn sleeveless coat from him,on the third day when I ask about the coat, he said someone has bought it already!!!I ask him if this shop belongs to him and his father because the name on the card write Alfian Rahmat and son and he give me answer that make me stunned.he said this is his shop, Alfian Rahmat, and when he add 'and son' he was hoping that this business would be his legacy for his next generation!! what a beautiful answer right??he is a student in menswear tailoring at one of sewing school at Bukit Bintang,you should go to his instagram: alfiantailoring to see this talented designer.

klfw also showed me another side of business in fashion, about struggle and failure in business.when I saw my lecture sitting on the floor to prepare for his booth and collection and how  hard my senior  work to get everything come together, even though they are very talented designer, make me think for a while about what people said about how competitive this field.then I also heard about one senior in the industry that also learn fashion and used to have clothing business, have to close  the business because it brings no profit due to so much competition,now she changing her nature on business by selling very interesting handmade cotton doll.this is the story of never giving up,able to let go and adapt,and seeing fashion outside the box.

p/s: if you are wondering how come there is no picture about the fashion show at KLFW.since I am still nobody yet,so no one care to invite me.well, maybe soon I would be sitting in the front row for every fashion show, not only in Malaysia, ASEAN later maybe the world runaway....but is that really the fashion world that I wanted to be???
