1 Comment

Visited this restaurant during our trip to ‘Khong Hean’s wedding.

We were brought to this restaurant by Alex Cheng & Daphne. Though we had a light lunch on that day; but we still manage to wallop all the food! GREAT EATER!! I was so amazed with all the fresh seafood. While I was busy taking photos of all the seafood (to share with you guys); Alex Cheng placed the food order. He ordered so much of food (I think he knows that we are PIRANHA). He doubled the order (each order x 2) as there were a total of 15 person. The food that he ordered was damn good! thumbs up***

CONGRATS Bro

Leave a comment

It was bro Khong Hean & Lu Xuan wedding on 10 July 2010. This day will mark as a memorable day for the newly wed couple.

I took a day leave on Friday so that we could reach Sg. Petani by dinner. Started our journey from Seremban after Alex & I had our lunch. Fetched Tat, Chip & Yau from USJ. The entire journey went smoothly just that there goes the rain on and off; which made us slow down. Met up with Alex, Daphne, Darren & Ginny along the toll exit. We managed to reach Khong Hean’s house at almost 9pm. Had our dinner there. After the dinner, we hang around there awhile. We overnight at a house rented by Khong Hean. A terrace house with 4 rooms.

Woke up early the next morning for bro’s ‘big day’. Got ready my gears(ahem…not really gears though.just 1 ‘tai kau sui’ jek), hope to take some beautiful & memorable shots.

Here are some shots I manage to cover throughout the day; morning & night. Although there were few more photographers, I tried to selit myself on any allowable space :-p

Meeting up the ‘old frens’ of mine on Tuesday nite. They are my high school frens. It has been years we have not meet up officially as in gathering. Normally just the ‘hi & bye’ style only whenever bump on each other in the malls.

This round was planned by Sin Wei & myself. We decided to hang around at Sin Wei’s house.

At around 7.30; I drove to Sin Wei’s house. I was the 1st person to arrive. Sin Wei brought me tour around her house. Ohh yeah…Sin Wei’s house is so cozy & nice!! Well furnished and comfy.

Envy betul 😛

ps:- “Sin Wei; I like you karaoke set very much ler”….(If I would to have one, that would be GREAT! Then I can visit REDBOX less often.kekeke…)


While waiting for the other 2 ladies; me tak habis-habis taking photos of her house’s deco. kekeke…..you don’t mind rite, Sin Wei. 😛

By 8pm; Pei Ling & Pei Wen joined in with their lovely child (Issac & Kai Xin). Tak sangka all the 4 of us live so near to each other…but we hardly meet. Perhaps; we should continue this gathering more often rite?? Sin Wei is so kind to pack us dinner. So, we started our dinner after Pei Ling & Pei Wen arrived. We had fried rice, ‘wat tan hor’, fried bee hoon, stir-fry ‘choi tarm’, marmite chicken & fried sotong. wah…quite alot though. Ohh yea…not forgotten the last one, dessert from her too…longan+peach slice drink.

Continued fromShort trip to Melaka

Got my map printed; read some reviews & recommendation from the internet. Reached the place at 4.55pm. The shop usually operates from 5pm. To my surprise; 5 minutes before 5pm, the restaurant already 1/3 occupied. (Luckily I was early; Luckily I got the help from google map, Luckily I managed to find a car parking lot). I’m not too sure whether is this the best one or not. But its recommended by many bloggers. Moreover the place is easy to find too! Approximate 20 minutes later; the crowd started to come in. The queue grew 10 times by the time we left at around 6pm.

Each skew priced at RM0.80.

each table are only entitled for 1 bunch of this “hou liu”

add in grounded peanuts & chili powder to the boiling satay soup. this is to thicken the gravy.

Short trip to Melaka

2 Comments

Mel persuaded Alex to bring her for a short trip to Melaka on Sunday. Alex agreed; and Mel jumps up happily. Hoooray…Hooray…Therefore; Mel decided to bring along mummy & siblings as well.

Went for our lunch at around 12pm in City Park; Seremban. Returned home to get our stuff ready for the trip. HOORAY…HOORAY….(again) hahaha….

Started our journey at around 2pm. Was worrying that it might rain in the afternoon or evening. phew….luckily the weather was fine throughout the day. Instead it was flaming HOT!! Reached Ayer Keroh Toll Exit at around 3pm. (thanks hubby for driving. I know its tough to drive under the glaring sun. make people feel sleepy too….never mind..you got good assistant here….she will try to keep you awake. kept talking like a parrot. sure awake one) :-p

Our first destination was to Taman Buaya. yea…I know..I know…sounds awkward to visit there right. Never mind lar….heard that they did some improvement on it already. So, try to check out and see lor…YES; Indeed! They did improvise the place. More nicer cages/aquariums for the crocs, cleaner area, new place for the reptiles. I recalled this park was often a visiting place during school days. The entrance fee without the water park; is RM8.

After the satisfying and kenyang meal; we drove over to Jonker Street. Jonker Street is like a ‘pasar malam/ night market’. Selling various items from food to clothing, collections, souvenirs, accessories. It is located at Jalan Hang Jebat. The stalls/traders only operates on weekend. While the shops there open daily.

Left jonker street and return home at around 8pm. SELAMAT TINGGAL!!

Fashion Show by CITY IMAGE

Leave a comment

11th KL Wedding Expo 2010 which held over the weekends from 18-20 June in Midvalley Exhibition Hall. Coincidentally I was in Midvalley during that weekend. Therefore I decided to pay a visit after I saw the agenda published on newspaper the day before. The fashion show started at 3pm. I managed to “chup” the front seat at around 2.30pm. Here are some photos I managed to capture.

delicious korea food in food garden

Leave a comment

I have discovered a delicious Korea food in FOOD GARDEN. Food Garden is a food court located in T-216A , 3rd Floor of The Gardens Mall. The business runs by a Korean family. So, I would consider the food is quite pure though. Despite of the affordable price; the food is very satisfying too. **STRONGLY RECOMMENDED BY Mel**

Photos here are the set of Bebimbap. (comes together with a ‘kimchi chigae’, kimchi, potato). For the price of RM19.90 + 5% government tax.

Besides these; the Chicken BBQ Set is nice as well!

Outing with my Galfrens

After a discussion, we decided to meet on last Saturday. Unfortunately, Vivian couldn’t join in this round. Wanted to go for a Karaoke Session, since I still have the free 1 person voucher(from the previous session). Therefore, we finalized our meeting place at Midvalley. K-Session over in Red Box, The Gardens. We booked for the lunch session which is from 11-2pm.

I reached Midvalley at around 10+am. Alex sent me there early because there’s a meeting he need to attend. Since, I’m early why not I drop by MNG(ada sales) first. There came Wanyi & Nicole who were early as well. Within the short period of less than an hour; the three of us managed to grabbed a bag from MNG. Ashley came later at around 11+am. Ordered her ‘lou shu fun’ which tak sampai sampai punya….hahaha….Ashley claimed that they went to tangkap lou shu** @_@

Here are the food we ordered:-

mini wok lou shu fun with minced chicken(quite tasty)

thin crust pizza (nicole said its not nice)

seafood spaghetti (yummy!)

Some of us eating while some will sing.

Took some group photos before Nicole went home.

Mel, Nicole & Wanyi

After Nicole went home; we continue with our ‘portraits training’ around the Mall….then we came across the center court which was having TM Roadshow. They were having ‘meet & greet with Woody & Buzzlightyear’ whom came all the way from HK Disney. We were persuaded to queue up to have a photo shoot with the 2 cartoon character. “Hmm…since the queue was still short, so why not take the opportunity”…afterall we have our own camera with us. Therefore we queued for about 30 minutes till the event began.

tadaahh…..a precious shapshot with “WOODY & BUZZLIGHTYEAR”

these are the clothes i got from MNG

We gals; then dismissed at around 5+pm because Mel got another round of event to attend to…. *you know what I meant* :-p
