Lazy day

Today is Chu San a.k.a. 3rd day of CNY. I... didn't take leave. NOT because I'm hardworking or what. Just that I wanna make January a complete month to work. And also got some stupid stuff has been lingering my thought, or rather I should say, HAUNTING me b4 CNY...

Anyway, there were hardly any ppl at office. So.... eh heh~ I left the office during lunch time, and off I went to Marmalade for lunch, with cousy and aunts!

Sis's Scandinavian secrets

- smoked salmon slices accompanied by avocado and cucumber slices with wasabi mayo

`

I tried the salmon only.... mmm..... niceee~~~

OTL's Spagetthi pesto, served with chicken cubes and avocado

`

Yuck! Although I didn't try that, I just DON'T like pesto... TOO healthy for me~ its like eating grass......

My Turkey ham mushroom quiche

`

Seriously... I felt that I was eating egg and only egg only... And it was very hot!! my tongue... ah well not that this not nice.... but just...egg...... only?

`

BG's Smoked salmon quiche

`

DG's Chicken tikka masala

- rice bowl served with brown spinach tomato rice and asian greens

`

Mwahhhhh~ I luv that rice! I will eat this the next time! Too bad DG don't like the rice~

`

OTW's avocado accents

- Roasted chicken cubes, peppers, avocado, raisins, cashew nuts + sundried tomato over a bed of lettuce

`

According to OTW, this is nice. But its like being a vegetarian for the day~ lol~

`

After that, we went to Delicious for afternoon tea~ but.... took us more than half an hour to wait... eh no... I think about an hour... sienzzz~

`

OTL's Macchiato

`

According to OTL, that drink is nothing special. Cheating woh~ hahaha~

`

OTW's Espresso

`

Chocolicious sundae with fresh strawberries

`

Not bad this desert, but kinda too sweet for me~

Cousy outing

Jan 26, 2009

Another outing with all my cousy~~~ Err..... to watch "All Wells Ends Well" movie... wah took me some time to remember it. Maybe because I don't really like this movie. A bit too pointless for me. But I like Louis Koo and his gf, Ronald Cheng and his gf. Haha~ Both of them look so cute together~

Before that, we went to Fish & Co. for dinner.


Fish & Co. menu


My soup of the day
- prepared fresh daily
- mushroom soup

ok-ok la~ no comment.


This.fish.don't.look.cute.at.all.


Mussels - garlic & lemon butter
- New Zealand mussels cooked in garlic & lemon butter sauce

Mwahhhhhhhh~~~ I luvvvvv it!! The sauce was de-vil-licious!


The best fish & chips in town!
- A fish & co. classic! Fried, topped with lemon butter sauce & served with chips

Nehhhhh~~~~ so-so la~~~~ The fish tastes so-so and the chips taste as if it was cooked a few hours ago~


OTL's New York fish & chips
- Your favourite fish & chips with generous cheese stuffing guaranteed to get you hooked!

Now this one is nice! Its not only the cheese, but the texture of the fish is smoother and it tastes fresher~ and topped with the cheese just made it taste even smoother!


Sis's Spagetthi pomodoro al fungi
- spagetthi & sauteed shitake mushroom served in homemade tomato sauce

Sis said its nice but I don't think so. Its a super normal, plain tomato spagetthi lor~ 'nothing special' will be a more accurate phrase.



OTW's Teriyaki salmon grilled or served with cajun style with lemon butter sauce


to me, that cooked salmon taste like homecooked salmon, nothing special. Oh yes, its salty =.=


This artistic pic.... I don't know its taken by sis or OTW. Anyway, it tastes as inviting as it looks~

Boo Pooh

This Moo Moo year.... I gambled twice!!!

FYI, I broke my personal record of gamble once per year. And this year gamble quite long also...

Black jack a.k.a. 21 dian...

This is how I lose my money...

First day - CNY eve. I lost 15 bucks T_T

2nd day - today. I earned 8 bucks.

One of the rounds where both my doctor cousy OTL & I got black jack~ hahaha~ screw my 2nd bro together!!!

`

BUT!!!!

`

Once my dear pooh sat beside me, I lost 2 bucks immediately! (note: I put 1 buck per round, I paid double to my 2nd bro leh!! If I'm not mistaken, he got a black jack!)

`

We quickly dumped pooh aside.

Thats why I won 8 bucks only lor~ The net off effect is I lose 7 bucks in total.

`

But thats not the end. (T_T)

`

After the end of the game, we kinda try again. Try what?? My pooh's "help-my-bro-don't-help-me" effect.

`

So my 2nd bro duel with my pooh (me at behind of course).

Because my pooh is 9 years old this year, I put 9 bucks as the bet amount.

`

`

AND I LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you SHOULD be sorry my "dear" pooh...!

`

I can't believe it! She wore a red shirt somemore!!!

`

So I decided to try my luck.... I mean her luck again... so I took off her white shirt and tried another round. This time with 2 bucks as the bet amount.

`

The first try... it was a tie.

The 2nd try... I LOSE OUT BY 2 points!!!!!!!!

`

So total.... I lost 7 bucks + 11 bucks = 18 bucks ahhhhhh~~~~~~~

`

See! She no face see me d...!

`

*kicks pooh aside*

Jan 24

Today, a busy day. Went to post office and uni to collect $$. First came with disappointment but the latter lightened my mood.

Lunch timeeee~~~~ Went to MARMALADE with sis again~~~!!!
Yippeeeee~~~~~ I miss the soupppppppp~~~~

No Brocolli soup (awwwwww~~~) but today got another new soup - Pumpkin soup! (so far the record is different soup for all the visits)

Sis's usual Greek salad

- Peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, olives + feta over a bed of lettuce

Lebanese wraps

- Turkey ham, spinach + cheese

Still taste so good like the first time I tried this.

Pumpkin soup!

- Pumpkin-licious~! But kinda too thick... we did not finish it... Its too much...

`

Name of this dish - "My-sis-don't-let-me-eat" wraps A.K.A. My leftover...

Its like "WHAT?! I got leftover?!?!?!"

YEAHHHHH~~~~~~

All because of..... gotta go for next stop - CAKE time~~!

`

San Ferri - Cafe and Bistro

`

Opera cake

Its a coffee cake!!! I'm like..... BLUEKKKKK~~~ so.... after a while.... sis made me get another cake~ XD

`

Sis's English breakfast tea. The description for this tea is like... you see~

- Over a hundred years ago in Scotland a man named Drysdale went into the specialty tea business within sight of the Castle of Edinburgh and offered a Black Tea that blend with milk & sugar.

`

=.=

`

This IS freaking long and took a full note storage memory to copy this down...

`

Footy!

A chocolate spounge cake. niceee~~~

`

After that, sis MADE me go to gym with her. She planned a pre-PM workout for me. =.=

TOUGH LA WEY~! my thigh suffered la wey.....

`

ops. I mean... sufferingggggg. Its a present tense...

`

Oh well... at least I made it through~

`

Night time, went to Las Carretas with Reggie for dinner!

`

Las Carretas wings

- 8 pieces of spicy chicken wings accompanied with French Gherkins & silver onions

- "a perfect appetizer before any meal"

Nonsense la! It taste 99.95% alike Ayamas chicken wings!!! Moo you~

`

Fajitas: chicken

- Sliced grilled cajun served on a sizzling hot skillet with sauteed onions, capsicums & complimented with sour cream, salsa guacamole, cheese, and not forgetting our warm flour tortilla.

- If they don't serve this in heaven you can be sure the angels are coming for take outs!

`

Its like woahhhhhh~~~~ soooo impressed by the description. But actually I tried this before during my first visit. This is my 2nd visit. ^^

`

After that, we went to Station One to yumcha but for 1 hour only. A dumbo woman kept on smoking and puffing the smoke to us. =.= good luck to her lungs.... and ours too.... =.="

`

Oh did I mention that Reggie is my first friend to take a ride on my new car? =D

My 20th birthday

Ouch! I'm 20!

No more teens~~ One step forward to adult already~ no no noo~~~

So today is a nice day actually. The traffic was abnormally smooth today and my senior told me that we don't need to go back to KL office, which I feel I was very very lucky today. All I wanted were fulfilled today!

Sooo~ after I reached office, one of my NS fren called. From the convo, one of my colleague guessed that its my bday today. Hahaha~ that was how the special treatment of the day started. Basically I have completed my work yesterday. So today mainly was to help out another colleague on her parts. So~~~ everyone was very busy and tension because the client will be off by 5.30pm.

Not enough time.

But~! I was the only one seems to be gazing at them half of the time, because once I cleared my part, my senior just told me to take a rest. Hahaha~ how nice of them, though they were really busy, but none of them seem to be displeased by the fact that I was so free~!

Bro called around 10am and told me that he will pick me up by 12pm for lunch. I asked my senior for longer lunch hours, and my wish was granted immediately!! At the end of the day I took almost 2 hours of lunch~~ geng leh~~~~ and NONE of them even hissed about it. I like these people really. Very very nice. Appreciate them.

Bro took me to Delicious for lunch. I miss Delicious actually.


Our table.


Bro's Spicy crab meat linguini
- tossed with roasted tomatoes & arugula, sprinkled with pinenuts


Smoked salmon angelhair
- tossed in cream, served with Caviar & Parsley


Chocolate brownie
- with chocolate sauce & vanilla ice cream

MMmmmmmMMM~~~ love this desert! It taste similar to Zens' Almond brownie with vanilla ice cream.

Both also I like, but brownie wise this one is better than Zens'.


A gift from Jean.

And..........

Another grand present of the day.........

A CAR from my FAMILY!!! Hahaha~~~ my first car ever~~~

Today I drove them out for dinner, was quite careful because its a new car and need to get used to a slightly wider n longer car. It is not too different from Kelisa.

Viva is not much different from Kelisa. I agree with that. Somehow I think the power take up part.... Kelisa is WAY better than Viva. Maybe because its a new car, thats why it is not used to power take up???

Hopefully lor hor~

I totally forgot to make a birthday wish and its 12am now, which means is 24 Jan....

Well.... my usual birthday wish will never be realised anymore... so forget bout it... ^^

Jan Mini Jumbo

Jan 19 - Isetan Lot 10, KL
`

Another heels from Pedal Works!
`
Know what?! It is just RM39!! Fair price hor??? I quite like this heels~ I think I will wear it tomorrow~ hehehe~ Hopefully it wont fail me before I reach office because tomorrow need to take LRT... (luckily no need to take KTM tomorrow...)
`
Thanks to DG & BG for this shoe! ^^
`
`
Jan 20 - Sushi Zanmai @ One Utama
`
Went to Gege's place after work to hunt for Sony Ericsson phone. Suddenly my urge to get a flip phone magnified intensely that I made my move straight to the shop. Unfortunately, the choice for SE flip phone is too limited... *sigh*
`
And the thing is, flip phone's camera is not good, which defeat my purpose of getting a better quality camera phone. I'm now in dilemma on whether getting a flip phone or getting a nice camera phone. help~~~
`
We went to One Utama for dinner, at Sushi Zanmai~
We managed to reach there before the queue-ing session begins. How lucky eh? *wink* *wink*

Salmon sashimi
Taste good without saying, but the best salmon I have ever tried is still Kampachi at KL Hilton!!
`

Gege's Ebidon
- deep fried prawn with egg on rice
`
According to gege, this is a not bad dish. Just that it does not "pass his judgement" because he has tried alot of nice food.
`
I was like..... "ceh~~~~~~~~~~"


Unagi kabayaki
- live eel grilled with kabayaki sauce
`
The unagi taste good, really. Not the best, but it is one of the good ones. I will order it again if I were to revisit this place.
`

Chicken katsu curry
- chicken cutlet & rice with curry sauce
`
Erm~~ chicken katsu is nice but the curry is not good enough. I've tried the same thing at Pasta Zanmai before and I prefer Pasta Zanmai's curry more than this one.

Jan Jumbo

No time to brag. Pictures time.


Jan 3 - Station One, Taipan USJ


Hot honey - before


Hot honey - after
can see the colouring effect hor??? That drink is a light, soothing drink though. It suits perfectly with the food.



Chicken chop with black pepper
A so-so dish. Better than the one I've tried at USJ 2, but nothing impressive.


Mum's Pan fried chicken drumstick with mushroom

I've tried one small piece of this dish, but because its like almost 3 weeks ago, I can't remember how it taste. But judging the fact that I can't remember it, it means its not something that impressed me. Hmm...


Jan 17 - KL office


Prize of the day - lollipop

Today is one of the 2nd batch training at office. So that was one part whereby Q&A session was held. And no one asked a single question. Instead, the training department decided to select "the chosen ones" to answer THEIR questions. On the positive side, they will give us a lollipop, regardless of whether the reply is right or not.

So... YEA~ I'm the "lucky ones" and being a VERY lucky person, I was the first person to be selected. The question was - "Tell me what is "property", with your own definition". So if I'm not mistaken, I went on and on brag about PPE (property, plant and equipment) instead. Say something like "its the resources that the entity use to generate income or business activity". Apparently my answer was.... how to say?

Erm either way too vague or way too detail, because I was directing the answer to PPE. Anyway, my main point is, thats how I got my lollipop. I didn't eat it though. I don't like lollipop actually.


Jan 10 - Chilis, One Utama


Monterey Chicken!

This is my 2nd or 3rd time eating Monterey Chicken at Chilis. This is the best try ever. It tasted way better than the first time I tried this dish. I love the hot, melted cheese that blends into the half dry chicken. One bite of chicken followed by a small scoop of mashed potato, along with a mouth refreshing brocolli and cauliflower... Yummy~~~ (saliva flowing out)

This dinner was meant to be a reunion dinner for my SAM, Taylors college mates but end up only 3 person turned up, including me!!! After 1 hour + of dinner, I rushed home to work because the job with me is seriously haunting me. (But end up I do it the next day morning, I was too good to be that hardworking)


Green Tea ice cream from Shojikiya, One Utama!
According to sis and my 2nd bro, this ice cream tastes good! (Thx to Reggie for introducing this!) I shall try it some other day although I don't like green tea products...


Jan 15 - Restoran King Crab, Kelana Jaya

For the period from Jan 12 - Jan 23, I will be at Kelana Jaya for a job. So... big bro came to fetch me home today but it was very very VERY jam. So we went to King Crab restaurant for dinner instead. HE TREAT WEY~~~ (should have bought lottery... aiks)


I tried to snap this photo with a good angle... but still...


Some vege - 上汤芫菜苗
It taste quite nice and kinda sweet, unlike homecooked food. Must be due to the salted eggs and some seasoned flavouring...


Hong Kong styled Steamed fish: Bak Sou Gong - 清蒸（港式蒸）白须公
Honestly speaking, the first few bites for this fish are okay. But after a while , we realised that its kinda hard and not that nice. As in, compare to other restaurants, this one definitely will lose out. Even if it were to be compared to homecooked steamed fish, I still prefer homecooked ones, less salty and its fresher.


Gege's view


Marmite Pai Guat - 妈蜜排骨 (this pic shows a non-halal food)
I like this picture more than how it tastes. Its a so-so dish. No further comments.


Jan 17 - Kim Gary, Sunway Pyramid

Mum brought me to Pyramid for 2 reasons;-
1) to celebrate my birthday
2) to let me take a break from that stressful alone audit work


Mum's Chinese mushroom and deep fried chicken rice (酥炸鸡肉香菇饭)
The chicken taste a bit salty but when you eat with the rice, just one phrase will say it all - "perfectly matched"


My cream soup and mum's borsch soup. The unknown dessert taste so-so only.


My most luxurious lunch at Kim Gary's ever - Unagi seafood baked rice (酱烧鳗鱼海鲜炬饭)
Its 20 bucks because I order add on cream soup for this set lunch.

For this dish, I enjoyed "digging treasure" from that "sea of cheese". I was thrilled initially when I found the unagi and oyster. But the octopus and sotong killed half of my excitement. I gave it to mum instead XD

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, the unagi tastes good. Second, there was a part of me - and I don't know how strong the urge that lies within me, that opt for the second try for this dish. And third, I'm unmistakably and irrationally in love with the cheese.

(sounds familiar????!!! hahaahaha~ I plagerise Twilight la~~ OBVIOUSLY~ But of course it is for fun purpose, please don't sue me... XD)


One Piece coin bag!!! I like it! All latest members are there!!


and.............. VAMPIRE KNIGHT ruler!!! *fangirl*

The Manhattan Fish Market

After soooo many years.... I made my....2nd? 3rd? time visit to Manhattan Fish Market. With gege this time.


Tartar sauce
`

Manhattan Seafood Platter for Two.
Deep fried fish, calamari, oysters and our award winning flaming prawns served with chips and garlic rice.


Gege's version
`
After this, we went to walk around at Subang Parade. We MUST DIGEST the food before we go home with that SUPER BRAKE Honda Civic. Gege accompanied me to look for shoes as my office shoe is spoilt. =(
`
Unfortunately, not many of them caught my eyes. Those that I quite okay with it but turned up to be not suitable.
`
Hmm... should have get it from somewhere else then~
