SRJKC Union Chinese Medium National School in Cyberjaya

Not many people know that there is a Chinese primary school in Cyberjaya. The location of it is near MCT’s LakeFront project. It’s at one of the edge of Cyberjaya area.
                

Chinese primary schools are basically schools where mandarin is taught and spoken as a medium while still following the national school curriculum. 

In Malaysia, the setup of such mandarin medium schools very controlled as the government still encourages students to attend the national medium schools. For Cyberjaya’s case, this Chinese primary school “license to open” was actually transferred from Ulu Sepetang, Taiping. The original school from Ulu Sepetang, Perak also had the same name. It closed down and subsequently transferred to Cyberjaya because of dwindling students and availability of teachers in the Ulu Sepetang area.

I drove around and visited the school just for the sake of getting to know Cyberjaya. The school compound is quite small but looks fresh as the building is very new. 

Since China is poised to overtake the United States in economic power, these schools will be in more demand with limited supplies around. 

Properties around this place should fare well and make more people want to stay in Cyberjaya.

New grocer in town - StarGrocer at CyberSquare

There's a new grocer just in town. It's called StarGrocer and is located at CyberSquare. It's just a few doors away from the Pakistani restaurant Al Mehran.

Based on my Google, this is the second branch for this company, their 1st branch is located at Desa Pandan.

The place is moderately stocked, the fruits and vegetables are quite limited but their dry goods are quite well stocked.







I still prefer RedTick supermarket as there's dedicated customer parking and the items there are more varied. 

However StarGrocer add vibrancy to Cyberjaya and as the population around central Cyberjaya should be able to support both of these businesses.

Cyberjaya 24 Hour Clinic from Qualitas Group

Not sure how long this 24 hour clinic called Qualitas-SV Care Clinic has been opened but this is a landmark to take note for medical services. This place is at Nadayu Square, just opposite the upcoming Tamarind Square.

On a similar note, the government’s building a hospital somewhere next to GemIn Mall Cyberjaya. This will boost the healthcare boosters in Cyberjaya.

Cyberjaya Food Review : Ayam Penyet Indorasa


Today I'm continuing my exploration around Glomac Cyberjaya. Next to Pelita Nasi Kandar there's this restaurant called Restoran Ayam Penyet Indorasa.






Ayam Penyet is actually a dish with Indonesian origins. The main component is the deep fried chicken which is served with chilli sambal sauce and raw vegetables. The dish is topped with crunchy rice flour bits.

The side dishes were raw cabbage and tempeh (fermented beans).

I pleasantly enjoyed the dish. The chicken (Ayam Penyet) was crisp and well seasoned. The Chilli sambal was good with a citrus after taste. The tempeh was well salted and cook just nice. 


There were other dishes but I was alone so I didn't manage to test the other dishes.

To be frank, I've taken much better Ayam Penyet dishes before but I would say this place would also be one of the top Ayam Penyet I've taken. If the restaurant could have serve long bean inside the dish I would have rated it as good as the best Ayam Penyet.
