Ayam Penyet di Rehat & Rawat Genting Sempah

Setiap kali saya balik dari Kuantan, saya singgah di R&R Genting Sempah untuk makan ayam penyet. Pertama kali saya makan agak sedap ayam penyet dan harga pun berpatutan iaitu RM8.

Gerai yang menjual ayam penyet ialah Gerai Makanan Farah.

Kali kedua saya makan agak mengecewakan kerana tempe tidak segar, lembik dan sambal yang terlebih pedas.

Walaubagaimanapun nasi, ayam penyet dan sup agak sedap.

Gugusan Mawar Kota Damansara Tukar Penapis Air

Paip di Gugusan Mawar, Kota Damansara adalah lama dan banyak karat dalam paip. Ramai jiran-jiran telah tukar paip besi lama tersebut ke PVC atau hansen paip.

Saya belum lagi menukar paip kerana masih ada penyewa. Jadi untuk mengurangkan masalah air yang berkarat saya telah meletak penapis air sebelum masuk ke tangki air.

Setiap tahun saya akan menukar penapis air untuk memastikan yang air bersih sentiasa masuk ke tangki air. Ini kerana sebelum ini kepala paip sinki dapur selalu rosak disebabkan banyak debu-debu karat.

Pada 27/4/2024 Sabtu saya telah menukar penapis air di unit saya.

Penukaran Penapis Air

1. Tutup terlebih dahulu punca Air Selangor
2. Buka penapis air mengikut arah lawan jam.
3. Ganti dengan penapis air baru, kemudian ketatkan semula penapis air mengikut arah jam.
