BFF's Rendezvous!

Yesterday nite we went out together to dinner. Since we met at my friends workplace near Melawati so either we went to Wangsa Walk ( eww already) or Festival City Mall. So we choose for Festival City Mall since Nurul haven't been there yet.

Guess where we eat yesterday ?

Ha ha cause there are so many places to choose i suggest that we go for Sakura Kristal cause i just loves their mixed grill and knew they will too.. so Nurul ordered Tomyam Meehoon, her ice blended and i ordered mixed grill for me and Zura. She's the light eater in the group. Cause i cough a lot i went for hot chinese tea and Zura Sea Coconut Longan i think. 

Anyway they just loves the food there. Correct right both of u..he he.. anyway Nurul taken some picture with her Iphone 4s ( bragging) and she's a little slow at uploading so just have to wait la..

And thanks Zura for tons of Chocolates she bought for me from Langkawi.. yummeh!

IKEA : Window Shopping with Besties

It's just one of those days we went out having fun together. I just love them. Usually i went to Wangsa Maju area there since one of them live in Cheras while the other in the middle - area Ukay Perdana there. So since i live in Kepong then it makes us even. Anyway this time they suggested IKEA as the place to hang out. 

Last time we seen each other we end up having picnic in Zura's house ( it's raining hu hu) when we plan to go to FRIM and then hang out at Wangsa Walk ( damn boring already going here). So this time we went for window shopping and since Nurul never been to IKEA ( always Mid Valley & KLCC..hu hu) then we made up our mind. 

So after lost couple of times and having me to look them up we finally reach IKEA at 12 something. I parked my car ( i drove since i knew the way) at The Curve. Plenty of parking even on Saturday if you get there around that time. Then we walk to IKEA which just across the street from The Curve.

 ok..it's totally cool to take pictures here..he he..jadi jakun sekejap

After that we went to eat at The Street - The Curve at Bumbu Desa..a Sudanese /Indonesian style food. Well for one thing it's quite expensive and the drinks also cost most than the food. Anyway we were more than ok to afford it. After all what's the use of  us working right. It was our first try of that kind of food and it cost us almost RM80 for total bill. For such little portion and expensive drinks.

But then Nurul took over and paid the whole bill. Belanja kami la tu.. 

There's another picture missing which was Asam Pedas Patin.. anyway we enjoyed the food and the company and we're having a blast of time.. wonder where will go for next outings ;)

Subway Sandwich Wednesday Deal

It's so true and so worth it. That day we went to Tesco Kepong and try it out. I just loves Subway and it's healthy too..

We ordered Italian B.M.T for my dear and mine Subway Club or something. So you can actually ordered different sandwich. One set cause this falls under Premium around Rm17.. our bill that day around RM16 something and we got 2, 6" sandwiches ( different kind) and a drink. I think it's worth it..

I think i will drag my dear again for this awesome deal of my fav sandwich.. yummeh!

Pulau Pangkor - Day 3

The last day of our wonderful time here.. we just wake up early in the morning again..take our breakfast at the inn and went for the beach..

We stayed there swimming, taking couple of photos and gets back to the Inn.. around 11 a.m we already ready to leave this place..

So a couple of photos on our chalet..

 Our chalet looks like this but not this one..No 1 named Arus

 Front entrance..cute isn't it..

 Along the way to the back of the chalets

Another type of chalets..bricks one..

There you are our journey to Pulau Pangkor.. one of the best holidays we had..

Dinner at Pulau Pangkor - Day 2

Ok we were seriously lucky cause we planned to have dinner at Horizon Inn that night since the food sucks at Seafood restaurant in Teluk Nipah but when we got back to Ombak Inn the owner asked us whether we want to join the New Year Barbecue they planned out at only RM48 percouple. That was completely worth it plus it's seafood babeh..

So we said yes, pay up and went to our chalet to refresh first. Ours was number one meaning just next to the dine in place. Really convenient and near since we were pretty lazy bums. Anyway let's check out those awesome fares we ate up that night..yummeh.. 

Our dinner was so romantic with lamp and garden seating..and this was my dear breaking the crab for me..i just sucks at it..and you can see his plate..so full..ha ha

 Anyway for RM48 for both of us we got..

1) Fresh Crab as seen..u know at the seafood there 1 crab cost RM8..
2) Fresh big prawns
3) Squids
4) Fish fillet
5) Mash potatoes - my dear just loves it
6) Lamb
7) Salads
8) Tomyam
9) Soup
10) Ice Cream - Tea- Coffee - Orange Juice

Felt so full and totally worth it..after eating we just went straight back to Chalet and dozed off..we totally celebrated New Year in bed sleeping..ha ha..anyway we are not really the party type..so no pain there..

Pulau Pangkor Round The Island - Day 2

We are so ready to conquer the Island after breakfast. So we took the scooter and started our journey. Honestly i am a bit skeptical cause the last time i touched a scooter was over 3 to 4 years ago. And i never ever bring someone else also. It was the first but we made it. At first we headed to town since the tank kinda empty. We were crossing our finger and hope we make it and we made it. After that we were following the sign board to the Dutch Fort located in Kg Teluk Gedong. It's not much really and i'm not really into historic things like that. I rather be at the beach.

Anyway after around 15minutes we left and headed to Teluk Ketapang. It's just along the way back to Teluk Nipah. We plan to jump into the sea and i'm the only one jumping my feet out of the water.

Warning guys : there's a reason why the beach deserted - it is full of small sea urchin with pointy needles. I learn it the hard way. Got my feet pricked with it. It was painful a bit and the good part it my dear was saved by my foolishness.  While he was chasing a crab i am jumping with one feet up.

So we packed up and dress up and ride our scooter to Teluk Nipah..actually we went over Teluk Nipah until Teluk Dalam..and damn.. Teluk Nipah is the best place to stay for me..

Pulau Pangkor - Day 2

 

Hi ya! Sorry for late continuation on my story cause i caught a cold and resting my butt off so no internet for me on weekend even at house. Luckily i got my dear taking care of me and we went back hometown also so i got all the best treatment and love there is.. sighh.. i think having good family is the best thing in the world ;)

early in the morning view

Anyway Day 2 starting with us waking up at dawn and having a hot shower-not me- and going for a morning walk at the beach. So, gear up with swimming suit inside we went for the beach. It was really a nice feeling having a walk together and then i think we went for a dip - did us - i can't remember..he he..anyway around 8 a.m we went back to our chalet for breakfast. They have a nice simple buffet breakfast for patrons for a really cheap price of RM5 per person. Ok, let me remind u again i stayed in Ombak Inn Chalet.

 Basically what they offer..day 3 got more stuff such as mee goreng and salad..

Their Nasi Lemak was awesome. I took it 2 times..they have coffee, tea and orange juice. My dear prefer western style so he took bread, scramble egg and cocktail sausages. Hey for RM5 per person it's really over the top already. Anyway the price only for person staying there. 

Anyway see the 2 motorcycle helmets. That's what we were doing after full of breakfast. Round the island trip. We rent a scooter for a day with the owner which cost us RM40..ka-ching..ka-ching..

Since my darling don't really knew how to operate this scooter then it's up to me the one with kopi-o license to drive..he he..

Our journey will continue in the next post ya! hu hu i'm so busy with works =;=

Dinner at Pulau Pangkor - Day 1

We ate at one of the first seafood restaurant  along the stretch of Teluk Nipah. It was so hot and stuffy even though we sit right next to the beach. The service was so bad and the food was not that good. I think the fish might be not fresh also.

The only nice dish was the squid..Sotong Goreng Tepung

You actually don't have to worry getting lied to about the price since they put it on view when you choose the seafood.

A plate of squid inclusive cooking RM15..

We took Kerapu Fish RM35

Seafood Tomyam RM8

Overall our price inclusive rice and drinks RM65..

Anyway it's just a bad dinner for us..

Pulau Pangkor - Day 1

Honestly it was a last minute decision since out month long plan to Cherating got to be cancelled because of the flooding. So sad since already booked the hotel and already plan where to eat.

Anyway just imagine our trip in the middle of super peak season and having to try to get another accommodation. It was daunting to say at least. At last we got a nice chalet in Teluk Nipah but instead of 4 days 3 night as earlier plan we have to cut short it to 3 days 2 night only..sob sob..since there's no empty room on Saturday 29.12.2012.. 

So early morning around 8a.m after breakfast on 30th Dec 2012 we drove using the old road Kuala Selangor to Lumut. Around 10 something we arrived and park our car inside a building and rush to get the Ferry ticket. I am so excited cause it's the first time i went to Pangkor even though my mom's hometown really near and we went to Teluk Batik a lot. 

Anyway Ferry Ticket for 2 person = RM20 ( Lumut-Pangkor-Lumut)

We were really lucky cause we got the white Ferry which has it's deck open for passenger and that's where we stayed around 30 minutes ferry ride to Pulau Pangkor. With wind on our face..

It was so syiok! 

When we arrived at the Jetty we straightly found our ride..the pink van taxi which cost us RM15 to Teluk Nipah. Please ignore all those vehicles they offer there for rent cause it's expensive. 

The taxi driver point us to our chalet which by the way is so lovely ;)

Ombak Inn Chalet - Peak rate for standard chalet should be RM150 but i manage to get RM120..so ka-ching, ka-ching for 3 days 2 night RM240.. thanks to Puan Nani giving me the special price ;)

It was rated no 2 in Trip Advisor for really good treatment from the owner and i can tell you that the Chalet itself was really nice. The ambiance and basic amenities such as Ice Box , Air Cond and Hot Water bath included. So worth the price and the Chalet just 2 minutes walk to the beach. For your info all the chalets in Teluk Nipah are across the street from beach. And we were lucky to get Ombak Inn since it's not further inside that we had to walk far for the beach. 

After putting down our stuff we change into swimming suits and headed for lunch and beach. Their eateries really besides the beach only. So first day we eat simple Chicken Rice for both of us plus water and those fried fish balls RM14 something. 

Full already we just walk on the beach and swim until evening.. so relaxing.. i'll continue on our dinner on the next post ya..xoxo

Guess where I'm writing from..Pulau Pangkor!

We're here in Pangkor Island. Celebrating the New Year  here and having a water blast everyday. Wow, it hurts my body going into sea so often but i just loves it. And the weather is just nice. Yesterday it's hot and cloudy and today it's drizzling a bit in the evening. 

We were riding a motorcycle around the island and walking along the beach pretty a lot. I can barely feel my leg..ha ha..

Anyway let's save my journey for until i return from this fun-tastic vacation..xoxo

Last Working Day on 2012

Today is my last day of working for 2012. Yeay..superb and i'll be on holiday and getting back to works on 2nd of January. Sadly my initial plan for holiday have to be cancel due to flood in the eastern zone. So sad cause my one month plan ruined already. But fraid not cause i've got back up..

Even though it's a last minute deal and it's hard to get a place to stay but we manage it..i think..still haven't pass by the date yet..

Anyway we are still going for holiday ;)  and hopefully all will be well.. 

So happy New Year to all my luvly blog readers and have fun ya!

Winter Solstice or Dong Zhi Festival

It falls on 21st Dec 2012 this year. I remember last year i rolled the Tong Yuen myself. Plain with nothing in it but in lovely 3 colours. Pink, white and green. It's the first time i ever tried and do Tong Yuen plus the ginger soup. I doesn't even know what it's should taste before i do that. This year cause it falls on Friday and since i've known what to expect i am much more confident in making it.

But like i said it's Friday..working day and thus i resulted to buying the froze type tong yuen. But of course i had to make the soup myself and to dunk the tong yuen in hot water as well. But in the end it's all worth it the effort of making it. My dear likes it and i'm happy for him. He can count on me for his tong yuen and maybe next year we do it from scratch. That ought ta be fun..

Anyway it's just fun having differ culture and seeing everyone celebrated it in Malaysia. And we're joining the fun no matter what's our race. I guess it should always be like that since we live in multi cultural country.

So i might be late but Happy Dong Zhi festival everyone..let ur heart feels the love and let your mouth speak it out.. life is short, family is comfort and happiness doesn't come expensive..

Merry Christmas 2012

We made it ya! Just a joke for those who believe in the Mayans.. 

(funny they don believe it themselves - Mayans descendants) 

Anyway Merry holiday to all and i guess as a Malaysian we should celebrate all festive in earnest.. it's just festival anyway and don put any racial or political motives here..

It's just a time to be jolly..that's all

So happy holiday even it's just a day..appreciate your loves one even with simple stuff and stay safe if you're going anywhere ;)

Thai Style Tofu Recipe - My All time cravings

I craved this food a lot and my dear has been making it for me twice. First i tasted it at Bird's Restaurant,Menjalara and i really like it. But you know la eating out so expensive and you can do it yourself as it is so simple.. this time my dear do so elaborately la for me..

Buy white Tofu - tahu putih, and chop it into small square pieces..

Then deep fried it in hot oil.. don't put too much in one go..for crispy feeling fry it twice.. 

Then you just need to chop some onions - the Indian red one k.. and if u like cucumber and some chillis also can..

Buy Thai sauce in the supermarket..not the thick maggi type..  the small bottle sauce type and pour it..it is so easy and so cheap if you do this yourself..

Tofu - ikut suka nak berapa

Onions - i biji cukup la

Thai sauce

Basically that's it..other stuff just optional really.. and if you got the right sauce it will be as tasty as eating at the restaurant ;) 

Tomorrow Me Holiday!

Dating Day : Mon't Kiara

Well it's been a while since we last been here..last time we went here to get a bite at Tony Roma's only.. just been back from our dating date there. We actually went here for the street market. I can tell you it's not happening any longer. Last week we went to The Curve street market and the same situation over there.. Just only a double row in the middle of the curve street. No more lotsa lotsa of stuff selling there. I think they just went ahead with much cheaper venue such as Jaya One and so on..

So, we went to Mon't Kiara and the street market was more pathetic than The Curve one. We just head on to Subway for sandwiches and then to One  Mon't Kiara which by the way much more happening than outside. A little bit shopping and here we are at CC waiting for someone to finish up doing something so that we can meet up and yam cha..

 New places every week for our dating day and lots of activities together.. such a small comfort and a warm feelings.. so ciao for now cause i still got to enjoy my day today ;)

Tony Roma's Double Ribs Combo

Yesterday we were having lunch at Tony Roma's The Curve. We were so full even though we shared one dish. I just have this urged to eat their ribs and it's wonderfully tasty to me.

I saw this new stuff, Lamb ribs and i want to try it..last time we went to eat the ribs at One Mont Kiara but this time we went to The Curve which actually really near to us. After walking around the street market a bit then we went for lunch.

We ordered bottomless juice.. each Rm8.90.. mine : Orange Juice, dear : Pineapple ( yucks)..

I tell you i loved this bread and the butter so much..

Then we got the Combo Beef Ribs + Lamb Ribs + 2 side orders ( we choose mash potatoes n french fries) = Rm69.90

It was superb i tell you. I think this outlet served deliciously from Mont Kiara one.


I was like licking the ribs and hold it with my fingers.. the plum sauce was so good.. you should really try the Lamb ribs when you come here.. and this combo really make us full..we have previous  experience and we knew one dish enough already for both of us and believe me that my dear really have healthy appetite..

For that combo you'll get 2 beef ribs and 1 lamb ribs..

Overall bill ( i'm paying since on Saturday my dear already belanja me buffet lunch for Japanese food which awesome as usual and expensive..he he) was Rm 101.70.. their service is so nice they even gave us mentos and came to refill our drink twice.. in Mont Kiara they just ignored you.. bastards!!

Anyway i lovess Tony Roma's ;)

P/s : save ur receipt and enter a survey on Tony Roma's website and get Rm10 discounts on your next visit.. 

And my dear belanja me ice cream for desserts..yeay..
