Dinner @ New York New York Deli

Before my dear and me went for MJ's This Is It, we had our lovely dinner at New York New York Deli at 1 Utama. My dear's sister said it's not too bad wor, so we went to try lor.Love the design and deco of the restaurant!
I must say I love their design and deco a lot. It's pretty modern-looking and looks really clean. Here of course, true to their name, they serve American food. There are whole lot of choices, from salad, soup, sandwiches to the main course. But then I must say, do not expect American portion here! And yes, the menu looks really good too, at least it explains to you what's in your meal.
Ooooopsss... That's my celebrity bf's hand! Haha... No lar, he's not a celebrity, but because we are still not ready to reveal it all, we are both having the 'underground relationship' like the celebrities! :p
I ordered a Fisherman's Clam Chowder and the Mo' Mushroom while my dear had the Cheesy Chicken. I think the Clam Chowder was really so-so only. Even the fast food kinda Clam Chowder at Mos Burger in Singapore tastes better. I'm actually quite interested with the Mushroom Cappocino, which is a soup with milk and mushroom with coffee powder? I'll try that next time if we go back to the same place. The Mo Mushroom... The mushroom aren't very special, but the combination of it with some onion, cheese and lettuce, with my favourite Focaccia (oh I miss the Avocado Chicken Focaccia at Curtin's Bookmark Cafe!), it was not-too-bad. Best of all it's healthy lar! But I think the Cheesy Chicken is the best of all we ordered, although the half a chicken really looks too small. The drink with very interesting name: Bloody Eyeballs. Dare to try?
Lime Light Lemon? Doesn't taste as good as the name though...
The Fisherman's Clam Chowder.
Mo' Mushroom. Mushroom lovers would love this no matter what!
Cheesy Chicken, very sinful meal but... It's yummy! :)
Oh yea, Shirlexia loves taking picture with her food! Especially when it's MUSHROOM!!!!!!
I would say not bad, I think it depends on what you order. I seriously think the portion could be bigger. I like the atmosphere a lot though. It all came up to RM66.55, urm, I guess acceptable lar for this kinda restaurant.
Still enjoying time with my dear lately. He's sick of food after his Bangkok trip. So tonight we are having something different! Karaoke~! Yeee~Haaaah~~~! My dear can sing well lar, so I want him to sing for me! Yay~! :p

Inglorious Basterds, This is it!

Before everything, I just found out Lian Sze has been following my blog for a while and I didn't know that! So hi Lian Sze! :) And she actually told me that I don't update my blog so often nowadays!
I wonder if all my dear readers have the same feeling? Missing my crap already?
Hmmm... I think I'm just going through a change in my life at the moment, so yea I lost the opportunity to do certain things, but then at the same time there will be new stuff to crap about in my blog. Just give me some time, cos I'm just so busy because of 'the change'! :)

Inglorious Basterds
The movie is a story with World War II as background, surrounding the Nazis, French and Jewish. Pa will be shaking his head again if I say this... I've heard so much about the history of this war, it's just that I never remembered them, even once! HISTORY IS BORING!!!
Anywayz, its the kinda Quentin Tarantino movie, and I think people who love him would love this movie too! It's quite interesting the way he presented the movie. There are all these different stories and different people but you will never felt it's all mixed up. I just wish the movie can be a bit shorter, cos as it progresses slowly, it became a bit boring...
I personally like Melanie Laurent's acting and her character as Shosanna! She is so cool! After hearing much about Diane Kruger, I finally saw her in a movie! And hey, she looks so different in the movie! And I must say she is pretty and not-too-bad in acting too! :)
Okay, that's all I can remember, I actually watched the movie two weeks ago... :p

This Is It
Alright, I read and heard so many nice comments before watching it. Plus, my dear is a super fan of MJ, so yea, I went to watch it with him last night.
Well, I must say, I enjoy the movie, which I would prefer to call it the making of MJ supposed-to-be concert in London when it's all about the design and the flow of the concert. Seriously I'm so amazed by how the pre-production of the concert, and watching it only on rehearsal just makes me feel like wow~If this concert were to go on, it must be a BLOODY COOL one! And those back-up singers, musicians and dancers must be so sad losing the chance to be really on stage performing with the King of Pop! And the money and energy the people spent! Really, it's just such a big waste.
But yea other than that, it's not so much a movie, it's like a documentary, it's like watching non-stop of rehearsals. My dear and me both expected it to be better. I know some of you really like it but to me, it was just average.

Anywayz, my dear really can sing hey! He was singing along with MJ throughout the movie! I love guys who can sing! :)

Oh by the way, check this trailer out, it's one of my favourite actor, Tobey Maguire's latest movie, Brothers! I just can't wait to see this! I mean, when was the last time you see him in a movie??? Missed him soooooo much!!! And I can see his performance in this movie is going to be so good it might win him some awards, maybe~! :) We'll see!
And I always thought he and Jake Gyllenhaal look alike! Now they finally play brothers in the movie!

Kedai Makanan Tepi Sungai & the Homey Food...

Before I head back to KL tomorrow, here's a food review on a new place I went for makan in Taiping, plus other home-cooked dishes done by my dearest Ah Ma and mummy.

Since I wanted to try new stuff, my family suggested this restaurant. The Kedai Makanan Tepi Sungai 海上is located in the little fish village of Sepetang, around 35 minutes drive from Taiping. I can tell you, that was only my second visit to Sepetang and my first one was way back when I was in F3! Phew~ Nevermind, I think a lot of you Taiping people haven't even been there before! :p
Alright, the restaurant is built right above the river. In fact, at the end of its ground floor, there is where the boats would stop to deliver the seafood, and upstairs would be where we had our sumptious PLUS guiltful dinner. So you can imagine how fresh the seafood are.Here we are~! You can already see the river view at the back.
The place where we had the dinner is like a balcony to the shop, where you get to see the river view leading to the sea. Really nice view that most costumers like me, would snap some pictures there before dinner.Some pictures taken, on a rainny evening...
One with my pa, who has cut down a bit of weight...
With Vivian, who always wants to open the eyes SO BIG for pictures.
We ordered some baby crab, baby prawns (both would be perfect snack if you have beer to go with), snails, Lai Liu Har, Steamed Groupa and a portion of vege (not uploading the vege pic cos the picture is a bit blurred). Very fresh and big snails... Yummy~ I love snails!!! RM7.
The baby prawans are really nice too! RM15.
It's just that you'll feel bad to eat these baby prawns and baby crabs cos they didn't even have a chance to grow bigger. :(RM12.
The medium size Lai Liu Har is selling at RM4 each.
Teochew Steamed Groupa, RM39.
I'm quite happy with the food, although mum said the fish was over-cooked. Not to say fantastic but it was enough lar. I love the baby crab and baby prawns, they are really yummy~! And the snails are about one of the biggest ones that I've ever tried, and they were cooked just ngam ngam hou~! :) One bad thing is that... This is a very very GUILTFUL dinner full of Cholesterol, which is not very good to pa... And my dear who is now enjoying his massage in Bangkok... :p
Anywayz, all the dishes, together with rice and Chinese tea, came up to RM110, which was well, still very cheap to me! People should just eat in Taiping cos food in Taiping are just madly cheap!

The rest are my home-cooked dinner for the other two nights in Taiping...Before that, let me introduce... Here are the chefs, my Ah Ma and mummy~! Say hi~!
Mum got the Sang Yu for me just because she knows I love them!
The fish head was then fried and cooked with some choy sum, and there you go, a very nutritious soup!
I requested for this before I came back, the pig kidney~! Dear, you sure you're going to stop eating them??? They are SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!
My mum knows me best... This special dish with golden mushroom, button mushroom and the Korean Enoki mushrooms was just specially made for me cos I'm a MUSHROOM MANIAC! :)
This some special steamed fish was my dinner tonight. Urm, sorry took these pics with my handphone...
Stir fried eggplant and long beans with sambal udang was another dish on my wish list! Love it!
The steamed Tofu with dried prawns has always been one of my favourite simple homey dish.
And the really nice herbal soup was just great!
Didn't get to stay long this time around. Will be heading back to KL tomorrow because of my Korean language class at night. But the bf won't be in KL yet. So sad... I miss you my dear! :(

Before that, here's a bonus picture...
Haha... I love bonus picture~!
Taken in front of my Ah Ma's place, which is also where CRAZY PEOPLE go there to see the wildboars. It now says:"BUS DO ENTER".
WTF???

Our own version of 你你你为了爱情~！

We definitely had great time at the Karaoke~!
Miss you so much lar XT~!!!
(The bf might 'eat vinegar'... Hehehehe...)

Food, food and food...

You know, people always say有情饮水饱，but I really think this can't be used on me and the bf. We can't just finish our dates without any food. Well, that is one of the reasons I fell for him I guess, we are just two very happy food lovers! :)
Most of you know, I'm enjoying my one-week break at the moment. So yesterday I went to Mid Valley to meet up with the bf, first for lunch, at Purple Cane Tea Restaurant. Remember I Rene and I just went for the first time last month? I love the food there, they are so nice and healthy! This time around I can't really tell you the exact names of the dishes because... The bf normally just dumped the receipt after paying the bills...We shared the Chicken Ginseng Tea Soup~!
The chicken dish that I cannot remember the name. It was ok.
Fried egg with tea leaves, tomatoes and real fresh prawns! Nice one! :)
The Belacan Kangkong with tea leaves.
I think we had a great lunch that day. The fried egg was really good, especially when they give really fresh prawns. But I do hope that the belacan kangkong is a bit more spicier.
And then at night, we went to Petaling Street for the famous Lou Su Fun (yes, finally I'm here!). Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables was ok-ok lar.
Yum~yum~! Really really nice Claypot Lou Su Fun!!!
The Wat Dan Ho (Fried Ho Fun with Egg Sauce).
Somehow, he just can't help but ordered the Wat Dan Ho again. *hint hint* We both think it tasted better than the one we had at Lien Bee .*another hint hint* But the prawns are smaller and they actually use lettuce in stead of choy sum, which is weird. AND~~~~!!! I LOVE THE CLAYPOT LOU SU FUN!!! So yummy~!!! Allow me to say this to my bf, THANKS DEAR~! MUAKKKSSSSS...*blush a little~*
Since it was still quite early, we went to The Curve and spent some time at the very cozy The Apartment. I know, it's quite a famous place, but that was only our first visit there. Well I must say, the atmosphere is good, and the services we got were really really good. Taken from the second floor of The Apartment, very interesting design indeed.
Shirlexia is now part-time model for the bf. :p
We ordered the Poached Egg and Bacon to share (I told ya, we 'really can eat'). It's like we were having breakfast when it was like 9 something at night! I think it was not too bad lar, except for... I wish there wasn't so much of mayonise, or perhaps use an alternative dressing, just not mayonise. The Peach Cooler was kinda special, but the peach syrup was a bit too sweet. I had the watermelon juice.
Poached Egg with Bacon, served over some spinach and toast with mayo, with some chips as side.
Expect more posts on food review now that I'm seeing a food lover bf. :p


The truth is, I'm so afraid of getting fat because of the dates! :S

I'm so spoiled

Yeas~~~!!! *punch into the air*
All my work are finally done now~! I'm now unofficially free for the next one week~!!! Yeah~!!!
And now that I've just dumped my clothes into the washing machine, put on my much-needed eye mask, I finally have some time to blog~! :)
So, over the past week, despite having so much of work, I got some of my time out for some really great fun, and by doing that, I was so spoiled... Diet plan wise. :p

Wednesday Oct 21st
Uncle Yip gave me a wonderful musical treat with I Have a Date with Spring as a late birthday present. Before the show, we went for dinner at Grandpa Bak Kut Teh in Taman Paramount. Uncle Yip loves that place, I've been there with him before. There is a branch here at Sunway, but the one at Taman Paramount was the first shop to open. I honestly think their Bak Kut Teh is really not bad. Grandpa Bak Kut Teh, yummy~!
Veges and golden mushrooms are a must for me!
Oooohhhh... I love steam fish!!!
We wanted a steam pomfret but they didn't have it that day. I totally forgot what kinda fish we had in the end, but I love the mashed ginger that they put over the fish, despite the fact that I'm not a fan of ginger. Guess what? I had 1 and a half bowl of rice, oily rice, while Uncle Yip only had half a bowl of plain rice... Shirlexia is such a scary girl~! :S
I'm going to skip the review of the musical for now, until the end of the post.

Thursday Oct 22nd
Just for your info, I accidently met CL last Sunday. It was like such a HUGE reunion after 9 long years! Yea, I mean, bloody hell, he had graduated from secondary school for freaking 9 years now, and me? 8 YEARS!!!!
Okay, anywayz, since then he's been spoiling me with tonnes and tonnes of food! On Thursday we were supposed to go for the Claypot Lou Su Fun at Petaling Street (which I haven't even tried until today), but then... It was closed!!! We were both sooooooooooooooooooooooooo (I wish I can type more 'o's to express that disappointment) disappointed. But then well, CL said we can come back other days.
Then we went to the famous Fried Hokkien Mee stall which I recommended, although I was also there for the first time. It's Lien Bee 联美Hokkien Mee, it's situated same row as Kotaraya in the middle of some shops. Oh, and I just figured out they use charcoal to fried the noodles~!
CL and me love Wat Dan Ho, or you can call it the Egg Sauce Noodles. So we ordered portion for two, and one portion of Hokkien Mee, plus a must for me, veges.Very satisfying Hokkien Mee...
Super satisfying Wat Dan Ho~! CL, watch out for that cholesterol! :p
Okay, I agree this is a nice pic, if my eyes weren't so puffy~! :S
I think it was pretty good actually. CL definitely loves the Wat Dan Ho, although he said he prefer the Ho Fun to be even bigger ones... I don't know, Mr. Wong has his own kinda needs for food. :p I also like the way they boil the veges, it's like just ngam ngam, very crispy still! Together with three cups of Lime Juice, it costs us around RM30. Not too bad lar.
So there we had a lovely dinner at Petaling Street. As for that Claypot Lou Su Fun (and the shop selling Korean dramas), watch out, we are coming back!

Today Oct 24th
XT is in town, for the oddest reason you can ever think of! Haha... Not telling you why, because... Even her father doesn't know she came back!
So anywayz, XT, Poh Hoon (let's make it PH here) and me went to a lunch K at Redbox. It was only a short 2 hours K (Ah yea, Redbox being stingy lar, lunch also doesn't provide buffet anymore, WTF), but it was REALLY REALLY FUN since all three of us basically know most of the songs that we chose! So it was like, all three of us singing and even dancing along~! Ah... I just love that kinda feeling man~!
XT is gonna be Singapore, but PH, make sure we go sing K again yea! :) Letting the timer does the job as we take some crazy pics...
PH was like, aiya wanna hold then hold pieces of 50 bucks lar, why the 10 bucks?
Trying to do that yo~yo~yo~ thingy...
And then, XT went to have her hair-cut and dyed her hair, and then we went off to Zen to have tea and cake. And we were like, hey, we are Zen virgin! See... XT's new hairstyle defnitely makes her look younger, don't you think so?
Yea, we've been to Secret Recipe for like zillion times, but Zen, today was the first time ever. We both love the Dark Chocolate Cherries but not the Green Tea Cheese. Although I'm a fan of green tea, but green tea with cheese just... doesn't work, it seems...The Not-so-nice Green Tea Cheese...
Dark Chocolate Cherries is gooooooooood~!
Of course, I think what we love the most was the chit chat with had over the tea. It's just so rare to find somebody who you can share every single secret you have with, and to get the other person to agree or understand you~! XT and me, although kinda disconnected for years, still clicked now that we talk about our lives! When we parted just now, we had such a huge hug, we knew we are going to miss each other so so much~! XT~! Get on-line more lar~!
But anywayz, XT, you and me know, let's wish we both have 'happy ending' for that 'thing' we talked about just now! *wink*

The reviews...
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Went for the 3D with CL the other night, after getting 'awesome' review from Ducum who watched it last Friday.
I guess Ducum just made it sounds so great that I felt a bit disappointed with the movie? Okay, I love the food part of the movie, like the huge pan cake with honey and butter (Ooooo... to me that was the most yummiest scene in the entire movie), and the speghetti tornado was so freaking cool! The animation really amazed me a lot lor. But I think the beginning part of the movie was a bit too slow=boring. And the whole movie isn't funny enough. It's so like, slow in the beginning and then suddenly got fast in the end.
So weird.
And Ducum said Flint is cute-looking? Duh? Do you think so? I don't think so...
Maybe I'm just being picky, cos CL likes it.

I Have a Date with Spring (The Musical) 我和春天有个约会 （音乐剧）
我一直都蛮喜欢这个香港的电影/电视剧的，但是对于这个本地人为班底的音乐剧其实并没有抱很大的希望，只是看在有人请嘛，就去看看啦，更何况我从来都没看过这种真正的舞台剧呢！
其实看这个音乐剧很爽的地方就是，我好多首歌，包括里头的两首经典你你你为了爱情和我和春天有个约会以及一些很棒的老歌我都会跟着唱，而且很多台词都跟电视剧/电影里的一样，I was like在他们还没说之前就知道下一句他们会说什么了。
基本上对于一个本地的制作来说是很棒的，至少比我想像的好很多！那些舞台上的props、服装（虽然说不上很华丽，但看得出经过一番心思）和演员们的演出和歌唱都很不错。我唯一觉得有问题的是演员们不够漂亮和不够瘦，哈哈~！我是说真的，小蝶的角色，她是一个靓女耶，但我们的就是一个略胖略矮的演员，无可否认她的歌声很好啦~！我最喜欢的莲西怎么变成是一个那么老又胖的Auntie咧？但是，老实说她的演技还真不错，真的有把莲西那种“三八”演出来，我自己在结束时给她最多鼓掌和尖叫呢！当然，我觉得问题最大的是男主角叶良财。Come one, that fellar can't sing! 还要他唱华语！OMG~！而且家豪这个角色应该是很艺术家脾气、很不会说话的，但这个音乐剧的却弄到他整个很“口花花”，很破坏啰！说穿了，这一切都是因为马来西亚舞台剧的发展还没有很好，所以人才不多，没有得选啦~！很可惜啦！
我喜欢演Danny那个演员（sorry,除了主要演员外，我都不知道其他的名字），我觉得他很适合那个角色，因为都很帅！:p
P/S: KL Pac is such a cool place~!

Okay, any plan next week guys? I'm free oh~! Kekekekeke...
