Kam Long Curry Fish Head

Kam Long Restaurant / 亚福街金龙亚仔

Kam Long Restaurant (also known as Kam Long Curry Fish Head/ 亚福街金龙亚仔) is the only place that I know which supposedly serves curry fish head as early as 8am! While I've not verified if people eat curry fish head this early but looking at the numerous people eating in the shop at 10ish in the morning I wouldn't doubt!  (Update: went in oct 13 at 925am and the place was already packed!  And yes, I waited 25mins before I get to eat! There are people who really eat curry fish head this early!)

During lunch time, expect a long queue and waiting time.  I always try to go earlier to beat the crowd after learning a lesson on my maiden visit. However, if you are looking to takeaway, you'll be pleased that you can zoom all the way to the front and inform them that you want to "dabao".  And you can request for the fish to be cooked or uncooked.  They would pack the raw fish head (looks frozen to me), ingredients and their curry separately for those who prefer to cook at home.

Back to the curry fish head, since my first visit, I've been visiting the place almost once a week. I even "dabao" too when the queue is too long. :P  My sis asked me: "so nice meh?" whenever I sent her a photo of me conquering another claypot of curry fish head. Yes, it is nice.  Decently nice homecooked flavour. The fish served had been fresh on my visits so far. And she might not be aware, I loved eating fish and curry, and with this combo and the right taste - how can I miss it?!

Where: No. 74, Halan Wong Ah Fook, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor
Hours: 8am - 5pm or till sellout!

(There is another associated stall at Permas Jaya but I still prefer this original stall at Jalan Wong Ah Fook)

For takeaway orders:

DIY Gelish Project - French Manicure

Above features the gelish french manicure i did on my nails some time back with my few months old toy - led lamp. With the led lamp, 30 secs is all I need for each cure. What I like about gel nail is that there is no more "waiting to dry" and I can get on with whatever work I need to do right after the gelish manicure.

I am pleased that my DIY french manicure lasted more than 2 weeks. Not longer because I got bored with the same stuff on my nails after a while .....

"Some of my tools: led lamp, gelish - foundation, top it off, sheek white"

Turn OFF That Photo Syncing on Facebook!

Recently, I did an update of my facebook app and discovered a new feature being turned on unintended. The new feature allows the photos taken with the iphone to be synced to your facebook photo album automatically! While photos remained supposedly private till you decide to make it public online, you'd never know what happens if there is a breach someday.....

So after googling, here's the steps to disable the feature on iphone:

iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Facebook app and go to your timeline
2. Tap Photos
3. At the bottom, tap Synced
4. Tap the gear icon and choose Turn off Photo Sync
5. Tap Don't sync my photos

If you are using Android phone, the step is different from above: 

Android

1. Open the Facebook app and tap the top left main menu in your sidebar
2. Scroll to the bottom and select Account > App Settings > Sync Photos
3. Choose Don't sync my photos

Lost Your Photo Tab in Itunes?

Fret not!

If you are like me who can't find the photo tab after updating to the latest itunes version, here's how you can find it!

Open up your itune software and connect your iphone. Press "Ctrl B" on your keyboard to open the side bar on itune. Click on your device and you should see the photo tab again on the top menu bar.

It took me a while to find this solution on the web after googling to realise that there were others like me facing the same issue. Some called for the removal and reinstallation of itunes while some called for changes in certain settings. This however, proves to be the most hassle-free! I've decided to include this piece of information in my blog in case I forget how to do it.... "Oh well....." :P

Note: in case you need to open the menu bar, press "Ctrl S"
