Morning Donut

Ok,this is old, but just goes to show you how kindness can go a very long...LONG way. I love my colleagues. They know how to win you with morning treats like this when you've just come into office and your stomach is hungry for nourishment and fuel before the start of the day.
A choc covered rainbow sprinkle donut. YUM!
You guys all RAWK!

Debra's Spaghetti

Love it when we actually have time to cook at home. Much mroe healthier and satisfying that way. Deb's been cooking on and off. And this one is a winner. Shredded carrot with sardine and onion spaghetti. Yum!
Another lovely recipe my sister Diana concocted recently last Sunday is Eggplant with garlic and dry Thai chilly powder pasta. She puts in a mushroom cube and some coconut milk for flovor. So lovely it was that I polished off the entire bowl clean. Sacrificing my throat in the process.
Another sure winner during dinners is mashed spinach, stir fried garlic egglant with onions, homemade shepherd's pie, shredded turnip stew...anything spinachy or eggplanty will win me over. :)

Penang House, Cyberjaya

Penang Assam Laksa
Chinese Fried Rice
Cantonese Style Noodles

Stir Fried Beef Koay Teow in thick gravy
Curry Mee with sambal My favourite Sizzling Yee Mee

Probably the best place in Cyberjaya to grab a bite during lunch. One that's within budget, that's suitable to bring your colleagues or visitors to (though it can get pretty noisy,being a chinese eatery after all), that's acceptably clean, and they don't shrink from the portion. You get your money's worth here. The portions are slightly larger than the usual same fares elsewhere.

Everything here costs within RM6 - RM8, depending on what you order. If it's ala carte, then be prepared to spend over RM10 ++.

Trip to Macau/Hong Kong (5 days)

Last week, i just went to Macau enroute Hong Kong with my colleague. 2 of us, this trip feel more like a vacation than a working trip. We went to Hong Kong, took a 30mins trains to Central, then MTR to Causeway bay to walk around, back to Central, took MTR to Sheung Wan. Finally took a 1 hour ferry to Macau


First meal in Hong Kong Causeway bay... Cafe de Coral is actually a fastfood concept restaurant. The above set me back ~ HKD16 ~~RM8

McD in Macau. There have burgers made with rice. Sorry, i was too eager to eat and dont bother to take pic till i'm finished... haha.. this combo set me back MOP ~26 equivalent RM13

Milk from Hong Kong... nice chocolaty... HKD 4.6 ~RM2.3 kinda small though, think it is about 200ml


We ate rice from here in New Yaohan, Macau. i had soya chicken combo... The portion is really big... about 2 big rice there, a big bowl of soup and quite a bit of blanched vege for MOP 28 ~~RM 14.... I didn't had dinner tat day, only some milk for dinner... that's how big portion it is.

A special dessert. with pomelo, sago, mango and coconut milk... taste bitter,sour,sweet,creamy..... yummy MOP 8 ~~RM4

Cheezels are like double the price of here in Malaysia, and twisties are called Fonzies there.... and Milo are insanely expensive there...
Here is my updates. actually don't feel like updating, but "forced" by Sandra.... hahahaha

Finally! Some comfort cooking!

Finnaallly,got to do some serious cooking yesterday. Went to the morning market to pick up groceries for dinner. *drum beat* Some comfort dinner tonite folks! Here's a pic of Neta cooking up a storm with the wok. Sliced up some tofu,chillie and spring onions...add chopped garlic to the hot oil,add in some chopped onions,the tofu,chopped chillie,put in a lil bit of water,add oyster sauce for flavor and you're good to go!Taadah! Here's what the tofu dish looks like.We had fun preparing the fish for steaming. First we marinate the fish with lime and some sea salt.Grease the dish with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking to it...lovingly place some chopped chinese cabbages to act as a bed for the fish, put in sliced tomatoes,onions,chillie,ginger,tofu and spring onion before giving the fish a dash of soy sauce.And VOILA! And let me tell you, it was ddeelliicciouss! :) The fish tasted so lovely and fresh, pity I only have one stomach attached to my body.And for the third dish, a nice boiling pot of vegetable soup. It just basically consists of sliced chinese cabbages,onions and carrots all boiled in chicken stock. Yummy comfort food! ^^
All enjoying the good food with hot steaming white rice along with some of mum's purple cabbage coleslaw she dropped off earlier in the day. Loovveellyyy! :D

Dave's

This is hands down,probably my most favourite place to eat right now. Italiannies came in close,but Dave's pulled it off with the most excellent precision in their execution of palate pleasers in each and everyone of their amazing concoctions that I've tasted so far. Above,the Smoked Salmon Roulade....lovely crunches and mixture of flavors in each and every bite. The same is spoken for each of the dishes we've sampled. Beautifully exquisite!
The stuffed mushrooms....ooooooo! Delicious tender morsels! I could eat them every night! Both Dave's and Italiannie's stuffed mushrooms are really really good and there's just no justice comparing which one is better than the other coz it just won't do. Each have their own way of executing this dish and each in their own way is very excellent indeed. Stuffed mushrooms. Can't go wrong ordering them anytime of the day.
The Beef lasagna was pretty good but the hero of the hour was my order of Funghi Fetuccini with herbs and virgin olive oil. Aaaahhhhh....life indeed, is GOOD!
Dave's............I'll be back!

Munchin' thru SketchCrawl #11

Me and my partner in crime took part in the recent Worldwide SketchCrawl event organized by artist extraordinaire,Enrico Casarosa, on the 23rd Sept 2006. Yep,we basically ate thru the entire course of our journey in -between sketching and photographing. Our first pit stop at O'Brien's sandwich bar at The Weld in KL before commencing on our SC quest.

My Chicken mayo salad with crispy bacon bits. Not too bad,but is a tad bit on the dry side.
My partner's turkey ham and bacon triple decker sandwich.
The afternoon got hot and we made an impromptu pit stop at Finnegan's for some refreshments. My Ice Lemon Tea. Aaaahhhh...Life is good!
Fond memories...late lunch at Planet Hollywood.
Couldn't resist! The Norwegian bakery,Baker's Moment, was beckoning. We had to answer to it's call for a bit of sinful indulgence.

The day was passing by so fast and before we knew it,it was time for dindins before we called it day. We headed straight for The Ginger restaurant at Central market.

Sorry for the bad image quality here.folks! The lighting was pretty dim by then and I refused to use the flash in order to capture the natural lighting. We got the Thai sambal fried rice,...
Buttered coconut chicken.....

Thai Mango salad and finally the Black pepper beef. Had a really hard time uploading the beef pic...but anyways,we've really been lil piglets that day. *hic* Hope you've enjoyed the images,folks! Wotta lovely day it has been!

Hop on to Hoppy Duck!

They sure do whip up a good duck! Lloovveellyy!
Stir fried mixed veg in sambal and a plate of fried Sui Kow. Mmm mmmm good! Simple, satisfying and fast....what more can a hungry patron ask for?
The Butter and Egg Squid was cooked just right but for me..I could always do with that extra crunchiness which one always gets if cooked a wee little bit longer in the fryer. But it's still very good. ^^

Ipoh Chicken Rice at Jalan Gasing

Been going here since I was a kid and still do! Always a safe and best bet to grab a really really good and really afforadable chicken rice meal at Sattelite's chicken rice restaurant in Jalan Gasing. Lovely flavorful rice with crunchy beans sprouts,steamed chicken, pork balls soup (pork minced up and rolled into ball shapes and not the literal translation) with a small bowl of hot curry. Aaaahhhh...delish!

Cyberjaya foodcourt

I kid you not...this was lunch for one of my colleagues at the new Cyberjaya foodcourt around Century Square. Good thing I bought some choccie buns earlier in the morning to placate my hunger. She ordered the standard chicken rice which doesn't look like much at all. See the soup? It's plain water with just a hint of salt I tell you! Ugh!
