Dong Zhi Celebration

Today is Dong Zhi... Erm, 1st day of the winter probably. For Face, it is a big event, the chinese new year for TeoChew. We are supposed to eat Tangyuan for tonight. Well, we decided to go and buy the tang yuen after our dinner as we were feeling very hungry. In Bali-bali, we ordered char koay teow, yam cake, chai kueh, laksa and wantan mee. Haha!
After the dinner, we went to George Town to buy the sweet Tangyuan. The stall is famous for this dessert. But the stall is closed!!! OMG!! We were dissapointed... Then we headed to other places for Tangyuan. Jelutong dessert stall named "Mat Dou Yao", which means they have everything, but they didn't sell Tangyuan too... #@*(&!#)$%.....
So we decided to buy 2 packet of red bean soup and get the frozen glutinous rice ball from Tesco. After we go round and round in the frozen food department....we found that the frozen balls... are all sold out...
As the replacement, we bought giant glutinous rice balls...Mochi...hahaha!!

Moral of the day : Don't buy Tangyuan at the last minute.........

Early Christmas Celebration

Thanks to BiJun for organizing this gathering. 14 of us gather in Strada for our early Chirstmas dinner. Everyone has to bring a gift for exchange. Me and Alex arrived early. Our stomach were knocking...so we ordered a slice New york Cheesecake to stop it. WL and his gf is the second who arrived.

Panaromic view, took while waiting for the rest.

New York Cheese

Half of the new york cheese...before Alex found a little pieces of egg shell in his mouth.

Crab Cake with Orange Vinaigrette Salad

Napoleon Pizza ( We made the food order when we make reservation, we believe the pizza was cooked very early, the bread is tough to chew.)

Manhattan Clam Chowder (The clam is not fresh enough)

Beef Bourguignon (Quite salty, and hard to chew also)

Dessert of the day, apple pie with ice cream. (Apple pie with cinnamon, not to our taste as we both not quite like cinnamon)

Spring, E-Gate

Saw ML's comment on Facebook. She ate Pork, fat pork.... We do not dare to try. We try some other food. We ordered a sizzling dishes, shitake chicken and a beef rice. The taste is a bit salty. Feedback to the Eddie, will be improve...haha... We will visit again!

Soy bean

Shitake chicken rice

Char Koay Teow in Pulau Tikus

It was WL's birthday. Before started the celebration in Red, Belissa Row, we went to the hawker center in front of it for dinner. We ordered the famous char koay teow, popiah and a pork rice. Miho likes the popiah

Not a very big serving, but tasty.

The pork rice was quite salty.

Ikan Bakar in Bali bali

We were supposed to go KFC in Sg Dua. We were shocked when we saw the restaurant was not there... the wall was demolished... renovation? Moved? Ended up, we ordered ikan bakar and kerang bakar for our dinner. Inclusive of a plate of rice, total RM20.70. For Miho, she still likes the iakan bakar taste in Butterworth, Jalan Raja Uda, the uncle and auntie drove their van and park by the road side... Just memories now...

Kenny Roger Roaster, Queensbay

We don't know what to eat... Dave deli...Nandos...bla bla bla...finally stepped into Kenny...

Dinner in Burmah Road

We went to CnS to add another "partner" for Alex's camera. Miho was starving. We went to the nearest hawker stalls to have our dinner. Not much people visited the place. We had a feeling that we went into a wrong path. However, we decided to try the curry mee and carrot mee with pork belly.

Curry Mee RM3.50. The curry was not rich enough. So so...ane ane....

The carrot mee RM6.50. Totally not worth to spend RM6.50 and pour oil into our stomach.

We cant deny that, the stall gave us a good impression on the food. Maybe we just picked the wrong item from the stall.

Due to the oil in our throat, we decided to go to other places to clear it. We went to Northam Beach Cafe. Alex ordered the German Sausage, Miho ordered the savory plum drink. A lot of people claimed that the Sausage is nice, for Miho, it is better to spend RM9 for a 1kg FarmBest cocktail sausages...

Carbonara with Fettucini, cooked at home oh!

The sauce we bought from Jusco. Produced by Champbell, no wonder the sauce taste 90% like mushroom soup.

Food arrangment on plate. of course the fettucine and broccoli was cooked.

Here comes the sauce, which was added sliced button mushrooms and sausauges and some italian herbs to cover the mushroom taste.

TARA!! Added an boiled egg and sauce on the plate.

Happy us!

Weekend Date

It has been a long time since our last date. We were so busy with the new things in our life. We decided to leave everything behind but only us.

1st, we cleaned the house together. Erm, practically, Miho completed the light job and continue to plow her farm in FaceBook. Alex took care of the rest.

2nd, went out for a dinner. We planned to go Pulau Tikus to try the beef noodles. Ended up we surrendered to the traffic and our stomach, we were starving and cannot go that far. We had our dinner in Little Cottage, near to New World Park. It was recommended by a friend before.

The only dish we like, chicken soup.

Little Cottage Style Sizzling Chicken, the taste is just not worth to pay the price.

The lobster and chicken combo, the sauce is the same as the sauce for sizzling chicken.

No thumbs up. Sorry... ...

After our dinner, we went to Gurney Plaza. We are supposed to do window shopping before a movie. Ended up we spend most of our time visiting a property exhibition. We acted like serious buyer and asked a lot of questions. Can't imagine the 800++ square feet house cost RM290k for lower floor and no balcony. Only 6 or 8 high floors will has the balcony. Some more the units with balcony which does not face to the cemetery was sold out. Anyway, we are not going to buy it.

After the "Q&A session", we went to rest our legs in Manila Place. We ordered caffeine drinks and a snack platter. We liked the ambience, quite nice for romantic mood. :)

After the supper, we went to watch the comedy "Couples Retreat". :)

Luckily we both are in love with our best friend, luckily we both hold hands to go through every single details in our life, luckily we have each other... :)

Watermelon Magic

We bought a watermelon before we finish the stock in the fridge. We put it on the floor next to our dining table. After 6 days, we smelled garbage in our house... After sniffing around... IT WAS THE MELON!!!

From far away, when Miho dare not to touch the bag, you can see fluid filled up the bag.

Close up look... EEuuukkkk!!!! Geli.....

Moral of the story:

1. Don't buy watermelon from Tesco?

2. Don't buy watermelon?

3. Don't put the water melon on the floor?

4. Don't eat water melon?

Hahaha...

Is don't buy water melon when you haven't finish the watermelon in your fridge.

Manhattan Fish Market

The next restaurant which we haven't step into, in Queensbay Mall, is the Manhattan Fish Market. We don't quite really like the food. The seafood is not fresh enough and oily. No more next time. I think we said this before... haha...

Hong Kong Cuisine, BJ

We went to Bukit Jambul for some IT stuff. It was raining when we reach the place. Some of the hawker stall was closed. We went to the corner shop, I forgot what is the name. Hong Kong Mee and Porridge or what... We ordered a vege, dessert and two duck breast rice. The Roasted duck taste good.

Korean Food, Daorae

It was a rainy day. It will be so great if we can have a warm pot in our hand. Currently, we are looking at our tight budget on daily expenses. We supposed to go hawker centre to have dinner which will only cost us less than RM15. Alex make a turn in Bukit Jambul roundabout and lead the car to Daorae... Haha!

We ordered the Beef Stew (RM19, includeed a bowl of rice) and a bowl of rice(RM5.00).

The drinks and the side dishes are free and bottomless. Previouly, we would order 2 BBQ set and the stew, if you read our blog before...Due to budget constraint, we only order the stew, and ask for refill on the side dishes. We ate 11 plates of side dishes. :)

The night was good with the hot soup!

Blur photo... I guess is because the weather is cold and we are starving... cause hand shaking. :)

The side dishes
