Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I've always started to feel Monday blues on Sundays now... this is horrible

[–] oppenMyHeimer@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you busy on Sundays too?

[–] Naomikho@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Not really, but I do use Sundays to catch up on any undone non work-related tasks. My past week was really unproductive because I OTed 3 out of 5 days, and those days I OTed I worked until about 8 or 8.30.

Mental health just not great lately. Work is okay but it's not entirely free of troubles.

There there ( ・_・)ノ(._.`)

Hope it get better soon

Thanks... I keep overthinking on Sundays but it didn't turn out as bad as I was imagining it.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Glad to hear that!

Last dinner, I couldn't finish the kueh tiaw ayam RM8 I ordered because it was too oily, so I tapao-ed the leftover to turn it into cantonese kueh tiaw at home. I suddenly remembered I had actually wanted kueh tiaw basah so I turned it into kueh tiaw basah instead. Currently enjoying it, 6.30am. I was going to order Dayak food but the young worker taking my order was having a mental breakdown, later I found out the poor guy's electrical switch or what needed fixing, so I had to cancel and reorder from another stall after waiting for 15minutes. I was actually in a hurry because there were people waiting for the food my mum tapao-ed. Not that urgent but the entire ordeal took 30mins until my kueh tiaw finally arrived. Quite a pity because I was wanting to enjoy Dayak food with my mum who loves it, for close to a month already.

Also very thankful to the few who replied my post yesterday telling me it was indeed haze. Although the haze went by quickly, I shall be more cautious today. Sniff sniff before opening windows.

Is there any dayak food you'd recommend?

[–] anotherlemmyuser@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aside from the more famous ayam pansuh (chicken cooked in bamboo), I personally go crazy for daun ubi (pounded vegetable dish). We cooked this once at home ourselves, but this one was tough work with low yield compared to the effort put in, and the stench took days to leave our hands. We decided it's better to just order this dish. Props, major props!

I like midin, kangkung, cangkuk manis/manicai too but these are found everywhere, most if not all Chinese restaurants here also have them. Stir fried with belacan (like sambal) or garlic.

Ayam pansuh sounds intriguing, gotta try it if got chance 🤔

[–] Naomikho@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's time to get a power bank

I think it could last a day, might be a super busy day with no time on phone.

[–] password123@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just buy a new phone 🙈
