2009 CNY Reunion Dinner

How's everyone CNY ? Collected many angpows ?
I had a reli great time back at home.....so good that i don't feel like coming back to KL.

Had my first reunion dinner wif mom side on Saturday. Was a sumptuos meal as grandma prepare all of her grandchildren's favourite food.Me,mom and my cousins went for facial in the morning den after that all of us return to grandma's house to help grandma...

(be prepare to see some reli good food pics...only available at my grandma's house)......

Mixed Veggies ~ cauliflower, carrot, abalone mushrooms, scallops, green peas

Hee Hee Ha Ha Prawns ~ stir fried prawns with onions, garlics and soy sauce

Lettuce Wrap ~ this bowl is a mixture of chinese sausages, fried eggs, green peas, water chestnut and mini scallops. The fresh lettuce leaves were so sweet that it can just be eaten like this. The lettuce leaves are use to wrap this mixture. Very delicious !

Yellow Ginger Chicken ~ grandma use the yellow ginger and marinated it with the chicken for 24 hours. And when we fried it,grandma say we mus put the yellow ginger together and fried it so that it will be more fragrant..This is superb delicious!

Braised Chicken Feet with Mushrooms ~ Grandma braised this from early morning with charcoal. For your information, my grandma still uses charcoal to boil soup.

Braised sea cucumber with scallops,mushrooms and minced chicken ~ thumbs up !!

Steam Cod Fish ~ i was never a fish lover but this cod fish was reli fresh..My grandma told me that good fish meat comes in slices..

Stir fry Sotong with dry chillies ~ this is always my favourite dish.

And of course this meal will not be complete without grandma's soup. I always love the soup that my grandma boils.Everytime when i go home,grandma will definitely boil soup for me..I know grandma start boiling this abalone and pig intestines soup from as early as 6am with charcoal and in between grandma has to keep adding charcoal to make sure the soup keeps boiling..when we had dinner at 7pm,the soup was reli flavourful..U cannot buy this anywhere...

A few more days before CNY ends..Have fun everyone !

Canton-i, 1U

After work,had dinner wif few close frens. I decided it to be at Canton-i. Heard reviews of this restaurant but have yet to try it myself..and i heard that its a subsidiary of Dragon-i.
A diff concept from Dragon-i.No Ramens and No Xiu Long Bao..
Located at G floor between the old and new wing. Its just right opposite T.G.I.F.

When we arrive at 8plus,the place is still pack with people..luckily one of my frens arrive early,we manage to secure a place at the sofa chairs..








水中花蓝. Flowering Red Amaranth(Marigold,Red Amaranth and Jasmine)~price at rm5.00 - very cute design.my frens and i were looking at how the whole thing was and then we realise that the red flower and the tea leaves were tie together by a thread.



茉莉仙子.Jasmine Faery(Marigold,Red Amaranth and Chrysanthemum)~rm5.00

双拼捞面.Wanton Noodles with any 2 combination. Dry version:rm13.80.Soup version:rm12.80.Options are: wanton,`sui kow`, dumpling, honey glazed roast pork, roast pork belly, japanese pork rib, beef brisket, pork knuckle cantonese shredded meat and mushroom. I chose honey glazed roast pork & roast pork belly and opted for dry version. It was reli good. The skin of roast pork belly was reli crispy and the honey glazed roast port was reli good but a bit too fat...


Stir fry seafood noodle in Hong Kong style~price at rm12.90. Very flavourful with lots of sotongs,prawns and chicken meat.If you are a small eater,i suggest u share it with someone else.

Mongolian style fried kuey tiau with beef. Forget the exact name and price but very nice. Just find it a bit too oily. But if not sufficient amount of oil is use,we might complain that the kuey tiau might not be smooth enough..hehe..Becareful as the black plate is very hot !



XO酱炒箩卜糕.Fried turnip cake with XO sauce ~price at rm12.00. This was reli good. The fried turnip was reli flavourful and the prawns ware big.If we were not too full,definitely would like to order another plate of this.



I love this place for its honey glazed pork and roast pork belly and oso the fried turnip with XO sauce. I heard that the porridge are very good too..Definitely will return again real soon..coz i m a big fan of porrigde..The staffs are all very friendly and nice.You wouldn't have to wait too long for ur orders,but because the place is pack with people,its a bit noisy..but if i m the owner of course i wan it to noisy huh...hehe..

Bumbu Bali, Bandar Puteri Puchong

so how did u celebrate ur new year ? i hope everyone of u had a great new year celebration

for me..a simple n lovely dinner at Bumbu Bali at Bandar Puteri Puchong wif the jimuis and our god daughter,Chloe..and after dinner we head to Li Ching's place to chat n play wif our little princess.

Before dinner i met up wif Joyce at Bangsar..den went back to her home and bath n get ready for dinner..we were late..Liching was the first to arrive follow by Estee den oni us...

My first time at Bumbu Bali and the food is reli nice and in real big portion..if u r a small eater i suggest u share it...

mojito - combination of mint leaves,lime n soda ~ rm8.90. a very refreshing drink, but if u do not like the taste of mint leaves u might not like it...


apple esplanade - combination of apple, lemon and soda ~ rm8.90. i like this very much. The combination of sweet apple and sourish lemon is just perfect...

Nasi Campur Bumbu Bali ~ rm28.50. This is a must try item in Bumbu Bali. Consists of kangkungs, prawns, sotongs, grilled fish, option of either beef or chicken (i opted for beef...) and some specialty otak otak fr Bumbu Bali. 2 types of chilli sauce and a small plate of fruits. This is real big portion,luckily i shared it with Joyce.

Nasi Ayam Bertutu ~ rm20.50. When this arrive, we were shocked with the size of the chicken.They gave half of the chicken...Taste very good...

They ordered barley lime, lamb and chicken platter( they gave u 3 piece of real big lamb chops), De Megoreng(rice set that comes with a huge drumstick) but i was late so i did not have chance to take pics of them but i can tell you that its in real big portion and very tasty..and the total bill for the 7 of us was rm209. I would say its reasonable for such big portion of food.Will definitely return again to try other food...Although our little princess has yet to get a chance to try all the food but she enjoy the cucumbers that comes with the set...

Bye 2008.......Hellooooooo 2009

Another year has past, 2008 coming to an end in bout 2 weeks time..and Christmas is just around the corner...and eventho everyone saying its recession..shopping malls seem to be flooded with ppl. i just wonder how bad is the recession......

2008 - a meaningful year with lots of happening..personally,it has been a great year for myself..having a forever supportive family and good frens to surround u throughout the year is the greatest blessing one can have. I was goin thru some diff moments and i thought it will take me ages to get over it, but i got over it pretty fast.Friends were bringing me around and bringing me for movies and great food to make sure i m smiling again.Thanks to Estee and Eric.(movie,makan and yumcha at Klang..i reli have a great time).Being able to stand up again after i fall, made me grow and learn to see things from diff angles...No words can ever describe the gratitude i have for my family and good frens for helping me go thru all the bad moments and a very special thanks to Joyce. She never gets fed up with my stubborness and my rants..she just listen and listen and listen and listen and listen.......I AM BLESSED

Special Dedication to Mum

Mum, thank u so much for going thru the hard times with me. Hear me crying so badly on the phone.Talking to u everyday comforts me so much. Thank u for all the presents i get this year. Especially the COACH handbag. I love it so much and will alwiz appreciate it coz i know u never belive in splurging so much for just a handbag but u bought it for me.I had an awesome weekend last week.Only both of us, shopping, eating and like alwiz u listen to me crap, make silly jokes and gossip......and i love skincare shopping with u...I LOVE U !
AND to dad, thank u for alwiz changing my handphones........(cant wait for my next one)

All I want is just for my family and all my good frens to be blessed with good health,happiness and be safe no matter where u are...

Love alwiz,
Apple

2009 - a year that i m looking forward to..already enrol in Open Uni for my part time course which is commencing in May. Hoping hard now that i can cope with work and studies at the same time..and if i can cope well, considering to enrol inthe Profesional Baking classes which will be commencing in July. And of course i m looking forward to my trips next year..and to spend more time with all my love ones...

Resolutions for 2009 ? i dun think i m goin to do that this year, i'll just grab every opportunity that comes and make the best out of it. To be honest, how many of us actually achieve wat we write down for our resolutions. I guess some jus wrote it coz it jus like some old routines u have to do when its the end of the year {no offence :) }

I guess i will start blogging again after new year, till then HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS 2008 and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.
