Wedding rush!!!

Hi people. Yes, it’s a early Sunday morning for me again. Thanks to…

Yup… That’s my oh-so-precious Baby (who is also an alarm clock on Sunday morning to make sure that I do not sleep later than 9am) :) Tied the ribbon from the rose bouquet on her since she kept kepoh on me when I’m unwrapping the roses. Cute right? Will treat it as a birthday present for myself from myself :) Awww….. But she’s having her annual menstrual period, which explains her constant need to sleep and the mood swing. *hugzz*

The past week was busy busy and busy. Managed to get heels to go with the white dress for my sis’s wedding. Everybody in the family are so busy with my sister’s wedding especially my sis. Accompanied mum to Kepong for her gown collection yesterday. She looks really good in it though. Love the colour, especially at the bottom where it’s getting lighter. Glad that mum finally found a dress that she really love. Sis and mum tailor made their gown for the wedding dinner in KL. Me? I bought mine from Phenomenal. The bad thing about getting a dress so early is that you tend to go around other boutiques and you will find a few that are prettier than the one that you have bought. This is where Calvin has to suffer and he practically came out with tonnes of reasons why my white dress is better. Haha. So far, he still managed to calm me down every time I saw one pretty dress. *clap clap clap clap clap*

 

Not much food adventure for the past week. Maybe because I have to stay on diet which I failed BADLY in order to look good with the white dress. I still have to do my hair and make up on that day. Luckily sis found someone from Ipoh to do my hair and make up for the wedding dinner in Ipoh, which oh by the way is next week. Will be heading back to Ipoh with Calvin (yay!!) early Saturday morning.

Yesterday was my sis’s “Goh Tai Lai” ceremony where Brandon kor kor brought some stuff over with his aunt and we all have to hide when both of them arrive. Weird right. Then mum have to gave him some stuff in return which includes charcoal. Mum is the most sai lei woman on earth. She practically asked anyone she can think of for a big, fat and nice looking charcoal. From getting one from those kedai barang runcit to asking from the fried hokkien mee uncle (who still cook the noodle using charcoal) and also claypot chicken rice uncle O_O”  *awed by mum’s sai lei-ness* Anyway, my main point of talking about the “Goh Tai Lai” ceremony is actually I lost all my Hong Kong Disneyland’s photographs!! Imagine my horror when I wanted to show Calvin my photographs album in my laptop and realised that half of my Macau-Hong Kong trip photos are missing!! *heart broke into million pieces*

The only thing that can make things better is …… *coughs* mumbblemummblegotoHongKongDisneylandagainandtakemorephotographsthistimemumblemumble *coughs* *hint hint hint* *shiny shiny eyes*

My Blue Rose Birthday :)

Hi people. Yes, I know. Late update again. That’s because I seldom online nowadays. Have been sleeping really early last week. Maybe exhaustion from work :p

 

As some of you know, 4th of November is my birthday :) Happy birthday to me. This year is a blue rose birthday because I received 2 bouquets of blue rose :) happy happy :)

 

This is from my dear Calvin :) It’s really gorgeous. Love it very much. It came together with a cute card with his drawings too :)

 

He gave me this single blue rose during our dinner. He said it’s more sincere giving at least one stalk of the blue rose himself :) Awww… so sweet :)

 

The second bouquet was from Sai Weng. Thank you very very much. I love it very much too. You kept your promise :) thanks

 

Calvin treated me dinner at Windmill Restaurant for my birthday. I have never been to that place before. When I reached there, I’m the only customer in the restaurant.

 

Our dinner :) I ordered salmon with lamb and his salmon was served with chicken. The food was so-so but the dessert (mango pudding) tasted a bit weird… well, at least for me :)

So that’s practically how I celebrate my birthday this year. Might sound simple but behind every single present and event, there’s a sweet meaning to it. Thank you very much dear :) It’s my sweetest birthday ever :)

 

My galz celebrated my birthday with a simple girls & bfs only buffet steamboat at Tasty Pot. The cupcakes were ordered by Wai Leng. It’s really pretty. I love it very very much. Thank you!!! But the dinner was a huge disappointment. I’m referring to the food. It’s not really nice and the restaurant is quite dirty. I prefer Yuen and their tasty chicken wings. No more Tasty Pot!!! But we had a lot of fun in the restaurant that night. Photos are available at FB by Jonny :)

 

The next day, me and Calvin decided to try Italiannies since I heard so much about this place. But the smell of cheese every time I pass by the restaurant is a big turn off for me. But I’m still very curious on what the food taste like :)

My grape blended was really good. I’m always a big fan of grapes :) The pizza was not bad. Would be better if there are more mushrooms on it though :p His chicken lasagne was quite good. One of the best so far :) *clap clap clap clap clap*

 

Another new place that I always wanted to try is Canton-I.

We had our late brunch there. The wanton noodles are really good. They don’t have any chemical taste at all. It’s really good that I finished the whole noodle with help from Calvin !!!!The dragonfruit juice was really good. Maybe a little too sweet. Calvin ordered extra ice water because I can’t stand the sweetness. I poured the iced water into the juice and the sweetness level is just right. It’s really really good. Love it so much. I think the food in Canton-I is quite good after all. I would prefer this place over I-Dragon :)

There’s this Thai Restaurant just few shops away from Calvin’s office that is quite okay.

Their logo is an pink elephant!!! It’s really cute :p their food is not bad either. Love the pandan chicken very much :)

 

We went to Lookout Point for second round of Haven :) I read about this place review from The Star online. Decided to visit this place again for real food this time :)

His nasi lemak special and my grilled stingray with rice. I love my grilled stingray very much. The meat was still very juicy and went well with the spicy sauce. Yummy yummy.

 

That’s all for the quick update about last week. I can hardly open my eyes. Have been sleeping really early lately. I’m turning into an old woman!!! Gosh~~~~

 

~BuHBaI~

I met a new guy :)

Hi people. Sorry for the late update. As usual, have been very busy with work. There were times that when I reached home, after a hot shower I went straight to bed. Yes, with my hair still wet. I can hardly keep my eyes open :)

I’m going to talk about my new guy for this post. Is it Calvin? Well, you will have to read to find out. There’s a photo of this cute guy at the end of the post :)

Even though I’m tired and he’s tired as well, he never failed to fulfil my random cravings :)

 

There’s a sudden crave for pretty cupcakes after dinner. Even though I’m supposed to be on diet for my sister’s wedding, I am on this constant crazy crave for random food everyday. The best part is I get to choose whatever flavour I want. He basically eats everything I eat :)

 

Random crave for drinks were satisfied as well. Starbucks have to be my favourite place to hang out with ipod and a good book. It’s also a great place for gossip session with my galz but some find it quite expensive. And now I realised it’s just the most comfortable place ever to hang out with him on a hot day when I’m sick of shopping (yes….. it’s rare) or I’m frustrated and can’t stop mumbling on why the shoe shops only put size 5 heels on display!?!? I don’t freaking understand okay. I guess he doesn’t either but poor him have listen to the same mumbling every time i go heels hunting :p Oh well, I guess starbucks isn’t that bad eh :p Ohhh we also test my camera smile detection mode at starbucks. As usual, he will be my test subject :)

 

Last but not least, the high demand of new places to eat for dinner. I want a new place all the time. There is this shop called Face to Face near his house which serves noodle. Imagine the horror on my face when the dried pan mee that I ordered comes with an egg which is still quite raw. O_O <--- the horror look on my face. He did offer to exchange our food but the stubborn and lembu me decided to say no. Well, it’s not as bad as I though. Just mix everything together and hope that the heat from the noodle will cook the egg further. Haha. Surprisingly, the noodle was really good. I think it tastes better without mixing the dry chilly though.

 

Ohh wait. There’s is one last random thing that I had last week. The urge to visit Toy R Us was fulfilled by him as well. We even thought that we might have first met each other there when we were young. Haha. Okay, that adds another random list as well. Random chats about nonsense. Haha. And I will have this random weird questions moment for him where I will ask him some really weird questions and demands for an answer. He will somehow have to come out with an answer no matter what. So far, he never fails me :)

 

He has a good memory. Way better than mine okay :) I just have to say something once and he remembers it. I got an early birthday present from him after a long negotiation. I think I lost the negotiation, so that’s why it’s an early birthday present. Haha. For him, there is no pretending of not knowing something that I already know. It may sounds deep, but I think he’s the only one who understand what it’s about. You win… okay?!?! Hehe. Anyway, I love the present very much. Now both of us have one cow each. But I think my cow is bigger than yours :p don’t jealous…

 

I guess that pretty summarises that I’m very happy with my new guy now. He’s really cute and funny. Caring and kind as well. We always share the same thought and ….. I think I love the fact that ..

he don’t look at the camera while taking photos. Everybody, I would like you to meet my new guy :)

 

*prays hard that Calvin won’t kill me for this*

 

~BuHBaI~

Chili’s … Finally :)

Hi there. Been really busy last week that when I reached home after work, I slept after late dinner and shower. Yes… I am really that tired. On average, I work nearly 12 hours per day starting from Monday till Friday except Wednesday. Before lunch, I have to settle all those important cases and after lunch, I have to call hospital and check other cases. All those documents that came in during the day will be settle by me after 5pm when all the Insurance counter in the hospital closed. Follow up is never easy :(

 

Let’s talk about something that I love. Food :p I am proud to announce that I finally tried Chili’s. Both me and Calvin never tried this place before. We learnt a lesson that day. If the waiter tell you to wait 15 to 20 minutes for a table, it might not be the case most of the time. Since I’m too lazy to walk around anymore, I told him just wait for the table. So we sat down on the bench at the entrance and browsed through the menu. In less than 5 minutes, a waiter came right up to us and informed us that our seats are ready. @_@ what’s with the 15 to 20 minutes then?? Hmm…

 

Like any typical western restaurant, the menu is full of steaks and other yummy looking food :)

Their fruit juices and soft drinks are bottomless. He had orange juice while I ordered Diet Coke on diet on diet on diet.

 

My lamb shoulder :) It was really nice. My first time of having mashed potato with sour cream. It’s really good. The lamb shoulder was cooked just right. Me like :)

 

His fried chicken fingers …. I guess. I forgot the name of the dish but it was quite good. He don’t fancy the sauce because it’s a bit spicy but it was okay for me. Love the fries though :)

 

There goes our first Chili’s experience. Will be back to try their nachos :) Looks good. Did not order dessert because both of us were really full diet diet diet diet

 

Finally tried Coffee Bean breakfast that is served whole day long. Ran out of idea on what to have for lunch at work, so Chan suggested Coffee Bean breakfast for lunch. I know it sounds a bit weird but then it was really worth it.

 

Both of us ordered the same thing. It’s really good. It comes with Heinz strawberry jam. Really good :) The sausages might look a little pale and I thought they will taste really bad. But it turns out to be really good. Better than those fried or BBQ.  But there’s one thing that I don’t really like. The omelette was still a little bit wet.  The portion is very filling. I’m too full to work after that. All I want to do is just sit whole day at Coffee Bean and read a good book :( Can i apply one week leave and do this every day?!?!?

 

~BuHBaI~

Non-Western Food Week

 

Gosh, I’m awake at 8am on a Sunday morning. I think I’m at the stage of old people where they sleep very early and wake up early too. But then I slept quite last last night and woke up early this morning. Hence the panda eyes :( I don’t want!!! Maybe I’m worried about not being able to find the perfect dinner gown :( I saw this really pretty dress online but then it belongs to someone. I bet it’s expensive :( wuu wuu wuu.

 

Let’s move on and talk about something not-so-happy. Supposed to be happy but I have to be on diet for my sis’s wedding. Gained a few kilos lately due to good food with Calvin. It’s all his fault okay :p not me :p *innocent face*.

 

Went to The Curve last Sunday to sing k with Wai Leng they all. Me and Calvin reached early so that I could do some shopping. More like window shopping. Haha. I did not have lunch that day, so was really hungry. He suggested Pavlova from The Apartment because he knows it’s my favourite :) But then we reached there, I suggested to try something else. And we ordered this (it’s more like I ordered this :p)

 

It’s called the Eton’s Mess. I was actually more attracted to the name than it’s content when I choose my order. The name sounds really cute :p It’s something like pavlova but the bottom sweet icing is crushed and served with a lot of strawberries and strawberry syrup. Love it :p

 

His hot chocolate. I think the one from The Pink Sage looks better though :) But it’s as nice as the one from The Pink Sage.

 

The K session was really nice. I can’t stop laughing when Calvin and Jonny sang the opera-like song. Haha. It was so funny. We sang from 8pm till 11pm. Since the next day was my off day, it’s still okay for me :p

 

The following week will be like Chinese and Japanese week. Tried both Japanese Restaurant at Jaya One. First stop will be Kissaten. I have never try this place before, so Calvin suggested that we try this place first.

 

I have no idea why their dinner set is more expensive than the lunch set. The top 2 photos were my dinner set and the last one was Calvin’s. Seriously, I was kind of disappointed at the menu because I was expecting authentic Japanese food menu. This is more like Fusion Japanese food. But my udon with salted pork was kind of nice. The gyoza is not nice at all. Maybe a little too dry. Calvin’s fried chicken chop was just okay but the sauce is too sour. That’s all for Kissaten :)

 

Another Japanese restaurant at Jaya One will be Hanazen. It’s currently my favourite Japanese Restaurant. Their food were really really good :) Me like :)

 

Like me, Calvin is a big fan of unagi as well (happy happy :p) He ordered this set because it comes with sashimi, which he said was really fresh. I’m glad he like this place just as much as me. Ohhh if you’re going there for dinner, especially on Friday night, make sure you go early or make reservation. That restaurant was packed on Friday night. The tables placed outside were fully occupied as well. Amazing :)

 

My seafood teppanyaki set. I previously had Chicken teriyaki (yum yum) and chicken teppanyaki at this place. So decided to go for seafood this time. It’s really nice as ell. Maybe a bit too oily. Me like me like :) At the end of the meal, both of us were really full that it’s very hard to walk. Haha.

 

Yesterday will be the first day me start hunting for a perfect and pretty dinner gown for my sister’s wedding dinner end of this year (which is like … 2 months away *panic panic*). Yesterday was also my sister and Brandon kor kor’s registration day. 10/10/2009. Easy to remember date. So Brandon kor kor… make sure you don’t forget your wedding anniversary ya :p furthermore, there’s no excuse to forget the date. Haha. Photos are still with Calvin. He need to photoshop some photographs before he can send to my sister. Mum specially request it to be uploaded to Facebook and tag her as well. Yes…. my mum has an Facebook account *serious face* She even told us a Facebook war between she and an ex colleague’s wife (which she printed out the e-mail thread and showed to other colleagues *gasp*). Seriously, don’t mess with my mum and her daughters. She will “reply” you with something that you can never imagine. Haha.

 

Anyway, after the registration, me and Calvin headed to Sunway Pyramid (since I insisted he leave the camera at home instead of in his car even though he said camera’s cannot be detected…. seriously, the camera is really expensive. If anything happens to it, I don’t have the money to pay it back okay lor :( ). We finished the whole shopping centre in less than 1 hour. Because my plan was just to search for a long dinner gown and that’s all. Nothing. Else. *serious look* haha. But I don’t know how long my determination can stand this way :p

 

We bought tickets for The Surrogates. Seriously, the movie is not nice because I don’t know what is the purpose of the old guy anyway. he suddenly commit suicide at the ending of the movie!?!?!? Haihhh……

 

Before the movie, we went to Berry Passion for drinks and light … umm… food :p

Novanned suggested this place to me if I were to visit Cameron Highland. They served all types of food and drinks related to strawberries. So both of us ordered the signature Strawberry Blended and Strawberry Lemonade. We even ordered Chocolate Fondue because someone *coughs* who was supposed to be on diet  was hungry even after just a few hours from dim sum brunch. Tsk tsk tsk tsk… It’s all Calvin’s fault :p hahaha. Anyway, the Strawberry blended was really nice. Really concentrated. The Strawberry Lemonade might be a little too sour. The Chocolate Fondue could be better if the chocolate is a bit sweeter because the strawberries were really sour.

 

That’s all for the last week.

 

If you all have suggestions on where to find the perfect and pretty dinner gown which does not costs a bomb, do let me know. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :p

One Day Malacca Nom Nom Nom

Good morning people :) It’s my day off and I have no idea why I woke up so early today. Last night went to Red Box for K Session with my galz and bfs. Even though I did not sang much, at the end of the day, I nearly lost my voice. Imagine Jonny and Calvin!!! :)

Okay, it’s time to blog about the funniest and most enjoyable short trip of the year. After Pui See’s birthday dinner, we went over to her house for chatting session. I forgot who suggested to go Malacca the next day since it’s a Public Holiday. We started planning where to eat and what to eat. Initially, Ming Li couldn’t join us because she’s having exam. Halfway through, I suggested change the date to the following Sunday so that Ming Li and King Hui could tag along. Everybody agreed!

Early in the morning of 270909, 2 black cars headed to Malacca for the food trip. Our target is to eat as much as food that we can within one day.

First stop :

Donald and Lily Corner recomended by Ming Li. This little stall is hiding behind the row of shops facing Jonker Street. Even though it’s secluded, there were quite amount of customers that day.

We were really hungry because all of us have not taken our breakfast yet. But the thought of stuffing ourselves  trying more food, we ordered 2 portions of the most famous dishes and shared them.

 

The curry chicken, which was quite nice. The meat and potato are really soft. Went well with white rice.

 

Nyonya Rojak. Ingredients include fishball, tauhu, cucumber, chili sauce and peanuts. This is my first time eating fishball rojak. Tasted kind of … interesting. I actually forgot that I’m having rojak. I thought it’s some fishball dishes. Haha.

 

This is some kind of stewed chicken with mushroom and potatoes. I just love dishes with potatoes that were cooked till they are really, really, really soft and infused with the flavour of the dish. The sight of mushroom made me happy :)

 

Group photo in front of the stall :)

 

After a light breakfast, we headed for chicken rice ball (not sure if the name is correct or not).

Since the restaurant is really small, we were divided into 2 separate tables. Each table ordered half chicken and 15 rice balls. The chicken was served boneless, suitable for lazy people like me. Hehe. The chicken was really soft and according to Wai Leng, there’s actually some ginger chicken broth at the bottom of the plate. Apparently, the chicken was stuffed with ginger before cooking.

 

The rice balls which look like fishball :) I ate only 2 of them and gave on to Calvin. Was having fever the day before, so don’t dare to take so much rice.

 

We are very lucky that day because we reached that restaurant quite early. We don’t have to queue up. According to Wai Leng, customers will have to line out outside of the restaurant under the hot sun and can only go in when the worker ask you to. You can’t just walk in and stand beside a table. No no no no no no. When we left that place, there’s already a long queue outside the restaurant. I guess people are willing to queue under the hot sun for the good food :)

 

Next, we had cendol at this place called Museum Restaurant. There are a few antiques displayed in the restaurant. I don’t really eat cendol because of the green colour worms. They’re scary!

I just ate the honey sea coconut found at the bottom of the ice shavings while Calvin ate the rest. Hehe. I do pity him because I only eat what I like and left those that I don’t like to him :) I know it’s bad but then…. I can’t help it. Hehe. Luckily he’s not as picky as me when it comes to food. In fact, he’s not picky in anything :p

The 10 of us shared these 2 plates of nasi lemak. One is with curry chicken and the other one is with sambal udang. I don’t really fancy the rice because it’s still wet but most of them love the rice because they said it’s really coconut-milky. But all of us love the sambal. Not too spicy, just perfect!!

 

Next, we walked around Jonker Street. I hate walking under the sun. Thanks to Jonny who lend me his umbrella and Calvin for carrying the umbrella for me, I did not turn red like a monkey’s ass at the end of the day :)

 

After Cendol, we went to another place recomended by Ming Li call Nancy’s Kitchen for their kuih.

We ordered a few famous kuih and headed upstairs. Actually it’s Wai Leng and Ming Li who choosed the kuih. The last photograph looks a bit fake because I asked them to look naturally and this is their definition of natural. Haha. But Pui See was really pissed off at the restaurant’s owner because of bad customer service. Pui See asked one guy if the kuih can tahan until tomorrow or not. The guy answer “You come back and buy tomorrow la!”. How rude is that!! Pui See was really angry that at the end she did not buy anything.

 

Among all the kuih, I only ate the blue and white sticky rice. I’m not a big fan of the popiah, pai tee, kuih koci and the banana-leaf-wrap-thinggy. They said the popiah is speciah because it contains deep fried pig’s fat (the one that you can find in hokkien mee). The banana-leaf-wrap-thinggy is actually filled with sticky rice and minced dried prawns. The blue and white sticky rice was my favourite but the kaya is not really nice.

There’s a photo of us giving thumbs down in front of the restaurant due to it’s bad service. But the kuihs were undeniably good.

We headed to this place near Eye of Malaysia for pork satay.

This restaurant serves pork, pork intestine, pork liver, chicken and lamb satay. I still prefer the pork and pork intestine satay in Ipoh though.

 

We then headed for this …

It’s something like Cendol but it’s white and pink in colour. It’s really pretty. It’s some kind of dessert which is really famous because the stall was featured in some newspaper. I just tasted like 2 strands of the pink one. Quite good though. Superb for hot day like that day.

The pisang goreng was really crispy and sweet. Did not try the mee rebus because I don’t like mee rebus. Vince, who is an expert in mee rebus, commented that the mee rebus is not nice at all because it doesn’t taste like mee rebus. More like dry curry mee. Haha.

 

We then headed to this cafe near Mahkota Parade. I actually recomended this place because of the crepe. The one I had in KL is nothing compared to this.

Besides crepe, this restaurant sells different types of cake as well. Since our main purpose of going there was for the crepe, we ordered one piece of crepe from all the flavours they have.

My favourite will be Green Tea and original. they have Chocolate Banana, Rum & Raisin & …. I forgot the last one. Hehe. Anyway, all of them love the crepe very much. Some were first timer of crepe and they absolutely love it. Since this cafe is air-conditioned and has this comfortable sofas, we stayed there for quite long for chit-chat.

After that, we went to search for Duck Noodle but was told that it is only open for breakfast. So we headed for Satay Celup.

We were the first few customers for the day, so our satay gravy was actually brand new. No worries of it being recycled. Hehe. But this restaurant actually change the satay gravy everytime new customers arrive. So, it’s not actually that yucky.

After all the food, we headed to Eye of Malaysia for photos session.

All of them were trying to shoot Pui See jump shot. It was really funny. I laughed till I cannot stand straight. More funny photographs can be found at Jonny, King Hui and Wai Leng’s facebook photo album. After all that eating, laughing really hard will be a good digestion aid :p

After all the laughing and jumping, we headed to back alley seafood stall.

They have boiled si ham, clams and snails. We ordered 2 plates of each. Wai Leng recomended this place because it’s really nice and cheap.

We have to sit on small stools and this is our table. The holes in the middle is actually for us to dump the shells into it. Smart eh. When cleaning the table, the workers will just have to push everything down into these holes. But make sure you don’t look into the holes while eating because it’s definitely not a beautiful sight.

The sauce for us to dip the seafood. It’s something like spicy satay sauce. Hehe.

I love the clams very much because they are very fresh. The snails are not bad too. I don’t take the si ham because it’s bloody. Yuck!!

 

After that, the girls went shopping for “bak tong gou”. I don’t really eat them but this uncle has been selling the “bak tong gou” for nearly 20 years. He’s really friendly and even free one “bak tong gou” for Ming Li because she bought a lot of them.

 

After that, we headed to our last stop, ikan bakar!! I have always wanted to visit this place because I’m a big fan of ikan bakar ever since my first ikan bakar experience at Mid Valley’s Oasis foodcourt. Wai Leng once told me about this place that she went with her family for ikan bakar and it’s really nice.

 

First, we have to choose our fish. They have a wide variety of fish. They choosed stingray and squid.

The nasi lemak, which was not nice (according to Ming Li). Luckily I have not open my packet yet, so I quickly put it back into the basket :p

The otak-otak which I don’t like due to a few factors. The red colour of the fish paste is not pretty at all. It tasted like eating plastic fish. I prefer fried otak-otak. Hehe :p

Our asam squid and ikan bakar. Some of us, like me and Jonny, still prefer those ikan bakar that has sambal on them. Perfect if taken with rice. I don’t really like the dried ikan bakar because it’s really dry. According to Wai Leng, their stingray is better than our. Some say it’s because of different part of the stingray. Some say it’s because theirs are more fresh. So… I don’t really know what is the real reason :p

That’s the end of our short Malacca food trip. We spent nearly RM 70 for petrol, toll and food for each person on the whole trip. It’s really cheap. I really enjoyed myself very much during this whole trip. Like I said, it’s one of the best short trip so far. Looking forward for the next makan trip with them, which will be somewhere around November. Which is also someone’s birthday *hint hint hint* :p

~Nom nom nom~

Good morning people. I had a busy week. My shift is changed to 8 am to 5 pm for the past few days and it's really tiring. Thought that I will wake up late today but ended waking up at 8 am, thanks to my Baby. Just ... great :) Baby is sleeping happily now after breakfast, while I'm wide awake O_O I'm so jealous of Baby.

Okay, after my Taiwan trip, it's time for pre and post Taiwan trip. Hehe. Had a lot of interesting food lately, thanks to Calvin who is willing to storm into an unknown restaurant with me and order anything that looks interesting :)

Let's start with Pre Taiwan :p

Visited the Honeymoon place again at Sunway Pyramid. Ordered different type of dessert this time.

This is actually something like Mochi but then it's a little bit more chewy than the normal one we get from pasar malam. The thing is actually warm. Just roll the balls over the peanuts so that they will stick to it. So-so only :)

This is his Sea Coconut with tau fu fa with coconut milk. Tasted kind of ... erm ... can't say weird but the combination might be a little too sweet :)

My watermelon and clear grass jelly. When I browsed through the menu, I wanted something that is cooling because lately it's so damn hot!!! Watermelon is my good friend and also enemy fruit. When I order that day, it's my good friend :) hehe.



Visited Decanter for a special occasion with Calvin. I've been there once for drinks with colleagues but never try their main course before. Saw some photos from Benny's Facebook the other day and he told me it's from Decanter. So I suggested this place to Calvin since it's near my office and we don't have to stuck in the jam after work :)

For starters, we ordered escargot. The sauce was amazing. Goes well with the escargot. I love escargot served this way because you don't have to remove the snail from it's shell and you don't have to worry that the shell is recycled. I heard rumours about escargot actually comes frozen in packet with just the meat. The chef will then just stuff the escargot into the shells. So meaning... the shells are actually being recycled. Come to think of it, I had boiled escargot in Malacca last week. When I pull out the thing from the shell, the body was actually longer than the one that I normally had in restaurant. So the rumours might be true....

My sheperd's pie. Was not in the mood for any heavy poultry that day, so decided to order this. I never have a pie as my main before. It's actually mashed potaton on the top with bolognise meat underneath it. Really really nice.

Calvin's steak. When he ordered this, I was surprised because he don't take beef that often. But the meat was really juicy and good. Went well with the mushroom sauce :)

We shared Peach and Banana Crumble with custard. It was really good. I'm not really a big fan of banana cake but this is delicious. It is served warm and additional charge applies for the custard. We had a wonderful time eating at Decanter. Will visit again to try other food. They serve Asian food as well :)

That's all about Pre Taiwan.

Fast forward....

POST TAIWAN!!!

Went to 1U for movie with Calvin and had brunch at Dave's Deli. I always walked by the place but never dine in before. Since both of us were hungry and can't decide on what to eat, we just went to LG. When we passed by, I suggested we give this place a try. Left the place really disappointed.


His pasta. Seriously, it's just so-so. Nothing to be fancy about. But sometimes I do really wonder why do certain pasta stinks like shit?? They might taste good but then smells really like shit. The meatball is nearly black in colour. Scary~~

My chicken pie. Was not hungry that day, so just ordered a pie. When Mei Yee saw this photo from my phone, she thought it's abalone. Haha. She's so cute. Back to the food, this is not nice at all. The sauce is white in colour and I think they put too much pepper on it. No good!!!

For Calvin's birthday, he took me Federal Hotel and we had dinner at the Revolving Bintang Restaurant. It's something similar to KL Tower Revolving restaurant (which I have never been to). The revolving speed isn't too fast. Maybe it's a bit old because the it isn't that smooth rotation anymore. It's a little bit rocky. One whole turn is nearly 45 minutes, I think.

Our starter. Both of us love escargots very much but this is just not really good because it's dried. No gravy on them. Only a small amount of cheese only :(

Different types of bread was served together with the starter. I had the most pretty one. Haha. Taste just like normal bread, just prettier :p

My main was chicken in creamy sauce with rosti. Had the most amazing rosti at Mache few years back at Singapore. It was really really good. Can't find one that is as good as the one I first had. This one tasted just normal.

I don't know why, Calvin is not very lucky with fish dishes. This is another hell fish again but not as bad as the one from Delicous. I forgot the name of the fish but it is absolutely .... ugly and scary and .... not nice at all. He was a bit full from lunch that day, so he did not finish the whole dish. I can't finish mine either because the portion was really huge.

Calvin suggested for dessert because I love dessert. The only thing in the menu that I never have before was this crepe. I thought it's something like a cake but then it turned out to be this. This has to be the most weird dessert I ever had. Taste really bad as well. It's actually something like roti canai in warm peach gravy with colourful cereals and ice cream. We finished the ice cream. It's hard for me to swallow the roti canai lookalike thing. Damn scary!!!!

View from our seat when the restaurant was revolving. I think KLCC and KL Tower looked really scary from my camera. Both of them looked like ghost!! Haha. Even though the food isn't that good, but we enjoyed ourselves that night.

The next day, he brought me to this place at The Curve called Ah Tuan Ee's place for dinner. It was something like Peranakan food. For me, it's more like Malay food. Haha.

Our dishes for the night. The fish is a bit too salty. Taufu and vegetable was good. Even though the place was kind of hidden from the main street along The Walk, the restaurant was actually nearly full house that day. Maybe it's because Malay people can dine in there as well. The food is halal. Not bad ... not bad...

During the weekend, we celebrated Pui See's birthday. Since she's a big fan of anything related to Korea, we had Korean BBQ dinner at Ampang that night. There were 24 of us and it's actually quite hard to eat dinner together. It's even hard to find a Korean Restaurant that could fit us all. We don't want to be seperated into 2 to 3 tables. Then it wouldn't be having dinner together right? But even though we are sitting on this long table, our conversation did not go too far. Oh well, at least we tried :)



The side dishes for the day. The stewed potatoes, brinjals and some shoots are my favourites!! They are really really good. We kept refilling those 3 side dishes the whole night.

Korean style nin gou. It's something like thick noodle fried together with spicy paste with vegetables. It was kind of good :)

The beef bimbimbab. I don't like this at all. The rice are quite hard, as if they are not fully cooked. I don't want any indigestion okay :)

BBQ pork for our table. It's a bit too dry and over cook. Maybe it's because we were too busy chatting that night. Hehe :)

Chicken ginseng soup. The chicken is really small and cute ~~ maybe it's a mini chicken ... or maybe korean chicken. Haha.


I think this is chicken. Marinated with some sauce, which isn't really nice. I prefer pork over chicken for Korean BBQ. Not all Korean marinated chicken are nice after BBQ.


This is the kimchi pizza. I tried this once previously. It's a bit spicy but tasted kind nice :)

Pui See's birthday cake. I think it's Black Forest. Bought this from Mid Valley after work. Purposely get a small cake because everybody will be very full from the dinner. So a small slice for every one was just nice. But then I heard Nicole's table is not full and their bill turned out to be quite expensive. I don't know what went wrong.

After dinner, we went over to Pui See's place for chatting session and planned for a Malacca trip on the following Saturday. Will blog the most fun trip I had with my loved ones so far next entry :p

It was my off day on the first day of Raya. Went to KLCC. I vowed to never go KLCC again during public holidays because it was fulled with foreign workers that day. It was really really scary because all of them looked very fierce. I kept hiding behind Calvin. He found it funny -_-" Went to Dome for our lunch.

This is his lunch. It's not fair that he can order a dessert as his main while I can't. He said he's still full from breakfast so he can straight go for dessert. I can't because .... I have no idea why. Hahaha. The chocolate brownie was really good. I don't really fancy chocolate brownie because most of them were really hard. This is surprisingly quite soft, especially the bottom part. Me like :)

My creamy seafood pasta. I never have this for the longest time. I nearly forgot how it tastes like. But the one I had that day was quite dry. The amount of creamy sauce was quite depressing. The portion was really big, so I did not finish the whole thing. But, the prawns were really fresh :) Me like this too :)

The drink in front is how I got my e-mail address. Apple crush. It's really really good. I love apples a lot but I don't like holding an apple and eat. I prefer to cut out the seeds part and then only eat. If I'm really lazy, I will order apple juice. But they turn green very quickly. But Apple Crush won't! I just love this drink a lot!! But I don't know how to prepare this. Anybody knows the recipe? Please share it with me if it's really easy to prepare :P otherwise, just forget about it. Haha.

During the Raya weekend, Kian Shen and bro held a Pesta Memasak at their place. Everybody will have to bring food cooked by themself to the party or they have to pay some amount of fine. I was working that day, so I can't cook. After work, I went to Cold Storage and bought some roasted chicken. They don't look delicious but I don't have other choices okay.

The sight of male dominating the kitchen is really rare. Ask Wai Leng and Pui See about it and they will have this bahagia smile on their face. Haha.

Kian Shen's dogs. Both of them are really huge. I think the one in black is called Scooby while the German Sheperd is called Rambo. Not really sure. Hehe.

This is Kian Tatt cooking his famous bittergourd with egg. They said the bittergourd is too bitter. I don't take bittergourd, so I can't judge :)

Hon Mun, the talented chef who is trying to chop his hand with the back of the knife. Haha. He's actually mincing the chicken thigh (he thought it is chicken breast) to cook with long bean (he thought it is kangkung). He may be a good chef but he's all confused by the name of the ingredient. Haha.


The amount of different chicken dishes that night with Pui See tapioca fries. She never realised that they were tapioca fries until she threw the plastic bag away. Haha. Silly :p



On the left is Chai's ABC soup and the one on the right is orange juice mixed with small amount of Vodka. Did not drink much because of sore throat.

Kian Tatt's bitter gourd with egg. Due to the bitterness, they all finished the eggs first and left only the bittergourd behind. Haha.

Food for the Pesta Memasak that night. All meat... no green vege :p



This is Hon Mun's long bean with belacan and chicken meat. They said it's really good, just a bit too spicy. Hon Mun should be a chef instead of engineer leh :p

Visited a restaurant that I have not been for ages that served my favourite prawn noodle :)

The Greenview restaurant, which is very near to my office, is my favourite place for prawn noodle. The prawns are huge and fresh. The vegetable is my favourite too because all the ingredients are very crunchy. We tried a new dish that day. Minced chicken meat with sweet and sour sauce. It was quite nice and appetizing due to the sourness.

That's all for the pre and post Taiwan nom nom nom. Will blog about Malacca nom nom nom trip the next entry.
