Food makes the world go round

First week of uni is still a self-declared holiday for me. :D
Lectures have started but I'm trying very hard to pay attention. Wished I was on holiday still! :(

Headed for lunch over with the girls over at Citrus, a pretty new cafe over at BVII yesterday. Decided to try it since it was relatively new and there's always a crowd..so it should be good right? :)

We took agesss to decide on what we should have, spoilt for choice really.

Ordered their fried samosas as appetizers (we were hungryyy .... and greedy!) @ RM7.90


I finally settled for their specialty club sandwich with ciabatta bread (trying to be healthy! haha) after contemplating between this and their nasi briyani (which looks darn good it's on my next visit list!)


Generous portion @ RM 16.90

It's actually enough for two people if you're small eaters.


Suyin's linguini with prawns @ RM 22.90.
I loved this dish!! They took a wrong order though...she actually ordered tiger prawns but the prawns came out tinyy XD So we asked the lady and she said this is a different pasta from the one she ordered. Enjoyed it nevertheless :D I'm sure it'll be much tastier with tiger prawnss eh?? :D


Sharon's favourite pasta dish @ RM21.90
The clams are tinyyy!!!!!!


It was a good meal. Delicous and very filling! We were too stuffed (i think we were quite greedy ordering that appetizer!) I shall go back to try their Nasi Briyani and their local dishes! Looks very yummyy too! :D

Price wise it's quite okayyy, I won't say it's cheap but compared to Delicious, it's much more reasonable.

Darnn all these pictures are making me hungry at 1am in the morningg T___T

Sigh. I'mma go to bed and devour all these food in my dreams.

Still in the holiday moooood

CNY this year was quieter than usual. And the weather is so darn hot i tell you! I can literally cook an egg on the hot tar road. It's that bad! Even if it does rain, it rains heavily for 15 mins but and it back to scorching hot once again =/ no difference. The weather is always hot during CNY every year. Gee!

Headed for my mum's hometown, Taiping on the first day.


Pretty sunset isn't it?


It's a shame I didn't actually take these pictures. My cousin did. I was at home sleeping.. it was too hot to go out =/

Taiping was sooo boring! Nothing to do and nothing to eat.. the ones that were open served crap food with high prices :S

Hiked up Maxwell Hill which was the only fun thing I did there :) My mum and I acted smart and decided to hike up ourselves...we ended up hiking all the way up for 10km till the peak. Oh my goodness. My legs were O.O when we reached! Usually people go up usin the four wheel drive. We were too tired to walk down again (it'll take 2 hours min!!) so we begged the driver to give us a lift..and he was even nice enough to lend us money to buy drinks. Such a good samaritan :)

We hiked up carrying absolutely nothing can you imagine! No water, no money and worst of all, no handphone!!!! If we were eaten by the tigers also nobody will know. Also, no camera!!!! The scenery from the peak was awesome i tell you!!! Can see the whole of Taiping! I was complaining to my mum that we should have brought the camera!! :(

Did nothing besides eating and sleeping and bathing 10 times a day. Shower already, once I step out of the bathroom, sweat again. Dammittt! The weather made me grumpy, literally.

Ooh! My grandma found super old SPM exam papers in the house left by my uncle.


These 'artifacts' older than I am! HAHA.


Headed to Penang on the 3rd day (finally!!!!) after rotting in Taiping for two LONG days.


I always enjoy good ol' Penang :)

Probably cos we have much more relatives there and cousins to play with :P

Visited my grandaunty's son's new house. Wahhhh very grand lehhh! Especially inside. But i was dam paiseh to take pics inside cos everybody was talking. Outside also very nice! I think surely hire ID wann!


So big but only 3 ppl stay wthh =.=

My cousin sister got very fascinated especially and started taking pictures everywhere. And I thought I was bad enough :P


Love the garden!




Checked into the hotel after and rested (with aircond thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Visited my mum's cousin over at her 'twin-tower' apartment near Queensbay. The apartment view was fantastic!!! Overlooking the Penang bridge..they'll always be the first to know if it's jammed up with carss LOL

It cannot be missed.. exact replica of our Petronas Twin Towers here in KL. Even got sky bridge!!! Haha. You can see it when you're entering Penang on the bridge! Dam high class man :P


It'was Batu Ferringhi at night..our usual spot when we're there :) DVDs are cheappppp mannn!!! XD

Next day, visited my granduncle over at Teluk Bahang (the other end of the island!). Very far.. and also very hot! HAHA.


He breeds swiflets for their bird's nest..very common in most kampung areas nowadays. Good money! But his one no birds yettt so depressinggg XD

My granduncle cannot be missed! He blends with the white wall behind. HAHAHHA.


The food this year seriously very depressing. All is overpriced and not that nice alsooo :S Cannot eat hawker food during CNY mann. Ken dearie even got food poisoning in one of the coffee shops!!! :S :S Con ppl!!

Spend 2 nights in Penang and headed to Sitiawan to meet my dad's friend. Had a good meal there (after so many days of lousy meals!). Ordered their famous 'Red Wine Mee Suah' and 'Hock Chew Fishballs'! Total yums!! :D :D Sorreh no pics we acted like hungry vulturess. HAHA.

We should have stayed in Penang longer (like we usually do!) and don't stay at Taiping next time! If stay also max ONE day. I seriously cannot tahan. Penang is cool! :D

Don't we all love CNY?? ;) Can't wait for next year!

Saturday and Sunday was spent visiting friends and relatives :)

I was so fascinated when one of the houses we visited served us tube chocolates (exactly like a toothpaste!)


Must suck it out to eat it. Hahaha. Felt like I was eatin toothpaste! XD
Imported from the USA. Malaysia don't have one. Dam fail! Yums!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Semester officially starts tomorrow. Sighhhhh I'm soo lazy to go back to uniiii T______T
Not enough holidayssss larrrrrr :( :(

I'm so depressed, not looking forward at all!

I want CNY to last forever!!!!!!!!! :D

(yes lah, in my dreams!)

:(

xx

Back homeee

Me is back in KL!!! :D

It's so so good to be home. Nothing feels like home :)

Caught the flu and slight sore throat on the 2nd day of CNY (it's horrible being sick in times like these!!). Couldn't enjoy the food much cos my flu caused my blocked nose which blocked my taste buds. I had to sneeze first before I ate to properly taste the food. SO DEPRESSING I TELL YOU!! T_______________T

Well, thank God i recovered after about 2 days (imagine poor me suffering for 2 days!!). Food in Penang and Taiping is a total rip off during CNY especially. They charge like 5 bucks for a portion smaller than the ones in KL, worst still the food sucks =.= Well, not much of a difference to me since my tastebuds weren't properly functioning. (at least I think that way to console myself!)

I'm exhausted noww. Updates soon!!! ;)

xx

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go!

Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! Oh, and Happy Valentine's too! ;)

It's such a rare occassion that CNY and Valentine falls on the same day. I read in the newspapers that day that it only happens every 38 yearsss. So we should count ourselves lucky to be able to relieve this meaningful day! Haha. The next time these two occassions will clash is when I'm old and saggy at 60! Geee!!

Had my family reunion over at my grandma's house in BU.

SHE HOME-COOKED EVERY SINGLE DISH!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

Man, I ♥ my grandma! She's such a good cook.
(of course, I love her not only becos of her food okehh!)

My mum should seriously learn from her =.=
Her Hokkien dishes rock socks!!!!!!

My favourite!


My 2nd favourite!

My 3rd favourite! Wrap this with lettuce and top it off with sambal..and OH BOY IT'S HEAVENLY! ♥

Another favourite! Actually you know what, every single dish is my favourite! HAHA


YUMSS!



There was no space on the table to fit everything, overload of food!


Of course, we stuffed ourself silly! After all this only happens once a year right? :P Just have to spend some extra time at the gym after the holidays. HAHA.

It's been a longgg time since we last had reunion at home. Normally its so convenient to just eat out, minus all the time preparing and cooking at home. My grandma said she woke up at 5am with the maid's help to prepare everything :S I'm sleeping like a pig that time mann. After all she's done, how can you not ♥ my grandma?! ;)

Heading off to Taiping tomorrow after brunch woohoo! For 2 nights, then we're off to Penang for another 2 nights and finally Sitiawan for a night before its back to KL! :D

Just done packing my stuff and I was sweating like a pig due to the darn hot weather (i tell you i can melt!!) Hopefully I didn't forget anythingggg. I tend to always forget something :(

Woohoo! CNY is finally here. Bring on the ANGPAUS BABY!!!!!!! :D :D :D HAHAHA
All my angpaus this year will go towards my new handphone fund! Hopefully I'll be able to collect a good amount of cashhhh this year round! :P

Won't be bringin my laptop for the trip cos i'm just to lazy to carry it around. I'll try to update from my sis's laptop if i'm free, which I doubt but i'll still try :) Oh, did i mention my rich sista got a new iphone today?? I ALSO WANT LORRRRRR T____________________T sigghhhhh

Okehh I need sleep. Long dayy tmr! ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS PEOPLE! ;)

Post-exam = ♥♥♥

Times after exams are always ♥♥

Enjoy to the maxxx! Don't you think so? :D

Dinner with the parents @ Zanmai, Gardens.



These two were the highlight of the night ♥

I have to say they've got one of the BEST sushi's around town. Beats Sakae and Sushi King anytime! With very reasonable prices, that explains the perpetual queue outside the restaurant ALL THE TIME! We had to wait for 20mins for a table even on a weekday =.=

Next up to try is Fong Lye! Have been hearing rave reviews about it. And they always have a queue as well at their Gardens outlet so it should be good!

Had Thai @ Basil last week with the cell mates :)


Good food + good company :)




Xin's farewell lunches :(


This was ewwwww! It's tastes weird and the prawny smell seriously made me sick after a few bites :S


Suyin's Curry Mee which was ok but a tad too creamy for my liking.


We were disappointed at Grandmama's! We left half hungry cos we didn't finish our dish XD
Too high expectations after hearing good comments about it. I've seriously tasted wayy better! XD

Our last luncheon with Xin today over at Little Korea @ Solaris. Arrived late so I only ate their leftovers :P

I don't know whether it's only me but I think korean food is 'jelak' if eaten too often. I can only have it like once in 3 months. More than that and i'm :S


Mann am I gonna miss our crazy times together :(


We will miss youuuu!!! :(

Now its only left the two of us.


Oh with Suyin as well! Less one gang member :(


See! Even she's sad to leave!!!!!!


Come back soon okayyy!! We won't forget youu!! See you in junee! :D Party hard, but STUDY harder okehhhh, don't be naughty! :P

CNY in 3 days WOOHOO!!! It's finally hereeee!
CNY = Good food + New Clothes + Angpaus = :D :D :D

And with Ken dearie back tomorrow is ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Yay! Life can not get better than this. ;)

Well that aside, CNY in a week :D :D :D
