Jumbo 4 =P

Ahhh.... its been a longgg while before I update my blog. Got dust d~ XD

Err.. basically uni 2nd year sem 1 was started on March 4th, 2009 (the day after my previous post). So that explains why I didnt blog.

Eh ehhhh~~~ I'm not saying that I was being a nerd studying whole day, is just that life is back to normal, dull, boring student life. So nothing much to blog about.

Howeverrrrrr, my food hunting journey is on as usual and that is why I finally can come up with a new post. (sounds so lame =.=)


March 5th

Today is the first week of uni, so the tutorial classes were not commenced yet. So I went to gege's place after class (which was 11am).

I think... I'm too used to drive to Taman Jaya LRT station. I missed the turning to Kelana Jaya (unknowingly) and finally realised that I went to the wrong direction until I reached Asia Jaya. Haha... thats why~~~ must think properly while driving~

As I was supposed to meet gege at 12pm, so I reached there just a few minutes earlier due to the delay. Since the weather looks like going to rain, we headed to One U.


Vietnamese Kitchen @ One U

That nosy gege been bugging me to go to VK for the past few weeks... so we went there to try the vermicelli.

and...?

It tastes good!

Erm... how to put it in words eh? The vermicelli is cold, er... when mix with the sour sauce (as shown in the picture below), its just a perfect blast! The thing is, there are alot of vege, so you will feel very full and contented, and at the same time will have the feeling that you are eating very healthy food!

But... it is definitely not some food that I will opt for everyday. Why eh? Maybe because its something different from what I tried before. And must make sure that one must EMPTY the stomach before trying this.

*AHEM* This is my advice. You can count on me for this. (cos I have big appetite! XD)


Golden mango prawn roll (2 rolls)
果香虾卷
- well... honestly I don't really like this prawn roll. The prawn roll itself is okay but when its mixed with mango... ewww... I feel equally sorry for the prawn and mango... They just don't match each other! But big bro likes it... oh well... different people different taste eh...


Sliced chicken & spring roll vermicelli
烤鸡春卷檬
- The chicken is really nice! The skin is crispy (but I didn't eat) but the meat is soft! Not only that, when the chicken is dipped into the sour sauce... awww..... although I've just said that I won't make frequent visit to that shop... I think I will go there some other time again... I just remind myself the taste of the food...


Gege's Pork ball & spring roll vermicelli
猪肉串眷卷檬
- Gege gave me one of his pork ball. I couldn't remember clearly but I just remember that the pork ball taste good. Anyway, chicken first! (p/s: I'm bias)

***************************************************

For this past 3 weeks, I mostly spent my lunch with sis and uni friends. I visited the ss 14's Organic Vegetarian restaurant for a couple of times. I really like the Seaweed fried rice there. And the mixed economy rice there is fairly cheap too!

Whenever I go with sis, she will order dumpling soup and either ginger tofu or sushi. One thing is, the sushi is almost tasteless if it is taken without any toppings. But!! Once you eat it with the wasabi, it taste really good! Magic eh??

Yesterday, March 25

During the 2 hours lunch break, SJ, SL, YF & me went to Gasoline @ Pyramid for lunch. Haha~ this time I didn't take any pictures. Well... basically the place environment is kinda dark but all the songs they played there are the songs I like! hahaha~

basically we went to have relaxation (we just handed in one assignment this morning). The super theory-based assignment is not at fun at all.

Well... nothing special. What I want to mention is, don't try the vanilla milkshake there, not nice at all... Even YF said it taste like her younger bro's milk. =.=

**************************************************

Today, March 26

FINALLY! I went to sing k with YF!!! She was supposed to go sing k with me since beginning of year 2008!

Jumbo post 3

Feb 27, Madam Kwans @ Midvalley, KL


Nasi lemak
- aromatic coconut steamed rice served with chicken curry, sambal ikan bilis, drie shrimp floss, hard boiled egg, acar and fresh cucumber.

This is my first time eating at Madam Kwans. Eh heh. Sis was like "WHAT THIS IS UR FIRST TIME?!".... what?! Cannot meh?! =.= I sound like someone just came from some really deserted place.

Besides nasi lemak, sis ordered these:-

i) Otak-otak: Spicy fish paste grilled in banana leaf
ii) Hong Kong Kailan: in oyster sauce

Neh~~ the otak-otak is kinda too watery in it but when I pressed it, no water came out. Err... the feeling... I prefer to buy otak-otak from those stalls during puasa month. The HK kailan is a disappoinment too because the kailan is kinda cold.

On a lighter note, the nasi lemak taste really good! *Thumbs up*


Feb 28, Vietnamese Cuisine @ Sunway Pyramid

Both mum & I ordered Rice-com (individual dish served with fragrant rice)


Mum's Braised lemongrass chicken (mildly spicy) "Ga Kho Xa"


BBQ Lemongrass chicken chop "Ga Nuong"

Can go for 2nd time, but not until I don't have idea on where to eat~


March 3rd, Las Carretas @ Taipan, USJ

Today is BG's bday, so we celebrated with her. Apparently she is very touched with yesterday and today's surprises that we made for her.


Er ge's Braised Australian Lamb Shank
- carefully braised with 12 different herbs & spices & served with tossed tagliatelle & seasonal vegetables


Sis's Senior Damian Salad
- Hefty portion of grilled cajun chicken breast served on crisp bed of lettuce & mixed crispy greens.


Yee Sou's Filllet de Pescado
- salmon served with baked potato, salsa, mexican rice, beans


BG & DG's Baked Snow Fish
- lightly smoked with hickory wood chips & served on a bed of mushroom sauce with crispy romaine lettuce tossed in tomato, sliced onions, potato, freshly shared romano cheese & balsamic dressing


Appetizer - Poppers
- our version of "Chile Dellenas" deep fried Battered Jalapenos stuffed with 4 types of Quesas & served on a bed of lettuce in tomato salsa


My Quesadillas add chicken
- folded baked flour tortilla stuffed with monterey jack cheese, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos & topped with salsa, sour cream & guacamole

Hmm... Quesadillas...... hmm... not really a very delicious food... as in its taste okay, but compared to their Fajitas, Fajitas tastes way better than this. I think is because I don't like the way the chicken prepared. Feels like eating mayonese mashed chicken... Prefer Fajitas!
