Restoran Al - Arisaan Maju @ Tanjung Malim, Perak

This afternoon, I came to Taman Bernam Baru to meet up a friend and once done, as I was heading out, I sighted a new Indian Muslim restaurant that was located right opposite on the Taman Malim side. It seemed like a recent venture as I have surely not seen it before. The food blogger in me immediately surfaced and I decided to give the place a try.

This is located along the road fronting row of shops and one can never miss this place as there is only one row of shops here. Parking is not difficult but if you are new to this place, do drive slowly as the roads are quite narrow. The restaurant was just like any other Indian Muslim restaurants, simple and sufficient for this locality, very much like a neighbourhood restaurant. I was informed by one of the staffs that they had opened for a few months now and they operate 24 hours daily. I wonder how I had missed this place as I do drive past this place almost a few times weekly. The staffs were very friendly and I was surprised to see many of my childhood friends here having their lunch and tea time snacks. After having had a casual chat with them, I went up to see what was available. They had rice and curries but it didn't seem very attractive to me. I then ordered myself a cup of Teh Tarik and a plate of Mee Goreng. There's one guy at this restaurant, not sure if he is the owner, who tends to be a little cheeky and kinda forces customers to upgrade their dishes. For example, I ordered a plate of Mee Goreng and he told the guy preparing to make Mee Goreng Ayam instead. I had to stop him then and there and asked him to confirm what I had ordered to which he gave the correct reply. And I just told him to serve me just that. There was also other instances where he was forcing some customers to try out their Samosas. He even went to the extend of just taking a piece and putting it in some customers hand's and pity these young boys, they fell prey and were forced to eventually pay for them. That is an attitude that I hate. Besides this guy, everyone else in the restaurant were very nice and humble. The weather this evening was lovely and I opted to sit outdoors. It was so windy and nice and the view from this restaurant was quite soothing with the hills at the background.  

Beware Of The Guy Fixing The Drinks

Teh Tarik @ RM 1.20

Teh Tarik @ RM 1.20
The guy that fixes the drinks was the guy that very same guy that I had mentioned earlier. From my observation, he was the one preparing the drinks for all customers. Probably one of those with a big mouth and perhaps may have some kind of stake holding in this business. Their Teh Tarik wasn't so great. It was nowhere close to the other Indian Muslim restaurants in town. Slightly watered down and it was a tad too sweet. Didn't like it at all and I would only rate this at 6/10 . Their price however was cheaper than the rest and sadly, so was the quality. As I left later, I did inform the guy fixing the drinks to improve the quality of his drinks first before nosing into other customer's orders. I hope that he did get the message. 

Mee Goreng Prepared Outside

Comes With Lime and some Cucumber Slices
The guy that you see preparing the Mee Goreng was such a wonderful bloke. Very humble and friendly and he was put in charge of the frying. Frying was done outside the restaurant and that's a great move that I welcome. Customers can now sit comfortably indoors without getting smoke into their eyes. A plate of Mee Goreng is priced at RM 3.50 which is the norms all over town.Here, they only do the wet style. If you look at the old school Indian Muslim restaurants in town (which is the majority of them) they all do the authentic dry style but these newer ones (just a handful of them) always serve the wet style. I guess they do not know the 'old school' preparation methods. Nevertheless, I'm fairly certain that there are many that would prefer this over that. The preparation was good, no doubt about that and it was super spicy. The chili paste that he had used had some finely ground anchovies in it thus making the Mee Goreng taste slightly different but surely better. Compared to all the wet style Mee Goreng's in town, this was the best that I have tried but as a matter of preference, I would still prefer the dry style over this. As far as this wet style Mee Goreng preparation is concerned, I would rate this at 8.8/10 .

As I was leaving, I complimented this guy for his delicious preparation. Besides these, they also have Roti Canai, Capati's and all the other commonly available dishes in Indian Muslim restaurants. Perhaps, I should come another day to try their Roti Canai and Capati and of course their curries too. Based on what I tried, 'Yes' to their Mee Goreng and a 'No' to their Teh Tarik.

    敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
