Over the weekend...

Just went through a busy and exhausting working weekend. In fact I will also be working for the next two weekends. So please do excuse me AGAIN if I don't update my blog... I really is forced to ignore my blog!!! *Big sigh~*
So before I drown myself with work again, let me share with you some stuff I did over the last weekend.

Cheap Dinners @ Petaling Street
Yes, it was 'dinners' with the 's' at the back! On Friday night Deardo and I went to KL for the original Soong Kee Beef Balls Noodles. We've had the commercialized version at Heritage Food Village at Lot 10 and this was our first time at their original shop at Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin.Say you didn't see someone posing in front of the shop... Say you didn't!
When we arrived the very famous Hon Kee porridge selling outside the shop was already closed. So I have no choice but to follow Deardo's unhealthy choice of having the beef noodles.
We both had the dried one with the beef innards and beef balls. True to its famous name, the noodles, which comes with the minced meat was awesome, and the innards and beef balls were fresh too. We both thought it was slightly better than the one at the Heritage Food Village, but not really a big difference, really. Yummy Soong Kee Beef noodles!!!
We ended up paying RM9.50 for one big and one small bowls of noodles, which was pretty cheap hey!I know he looks like clown here but ah well, that is why I love him! :p
And then I wasn't full enough. So we drove to Petaling Street to search for our second round. I was hoping the Hon Kee porridge there open at night too sadly it doesn't open for business at night. So we ended up having the very famous Kam Lin Gei Hokkien Mee, which I've tried before but not Deardo.The very famous charcoal fried Hokkien Mee!
We had a Hokkien Mee with Mihoon and a plate of stir-fried potato leaves. The Hokkien Mee was simply delicious, with a little charcoal smell in the noodles. And the pork lart does make a difference too! Definitely one of the best Hokkien Mee we've ever tried!Me enjoying my second round of dinner... Fei lor fei lor fei lor...
And guess what? The bill came up to RM20 (Medium Hokkien Mee, RM12 and vegetables RM8) only! So we spent only RM30 for two dinners! Now who said KL food are expensive???

I was working on Saturday and Sunday for a fair and I kinda enjoyed it! :)Me posing in front of a backdrop that I've spent so much energy helping to complete the list.

On Saturday night Deardo and I were in Genting (yes, AGAIN) for Wong Tze Wah's 娱乐圈血肉史stand-up show. It was our first time watching a live stand-up comedy! Because of the topic, the content might not be very easy for everyone to understand, but then there were still big part of the performance that we laughed out really loud and really enjoyed a lot! Not too bad an experience! :)
For now, I just couldn't wait for Michael Hui's return to Malaysia!!! It was another full house for Wong Tze Wah!!!
Wasn't allowed to bring camera in but ah well... :p

Work is taking up a lot of my time now. I totally hate it but ah well, life must go on lar yea.
Hopefully I'll be able to update a little soon! :)

Yummy Dinner @ Kafe Bawang Merah, SS12

We've heard quite a lot about Bawang Merah but never really made a trip there even though it is actually situated right outside his sister's house at SS12, until one fine night...Located behind the Sime Darby Medical Centre (formerly known as SJMC), the restaurant is apparently very famous, I think especially with the Malays and Indonesians. But after my visit there, I must correct the fact because I saw many Chinese and Indians dining there too! No wonder lar, almost every time I passed by that place it is always so crowded! See... There was an Indian couple ta pao-ing food over there!
Although from the outside, it looks more like a fancy Malay-Indonesian restaurant, inside they actually serve very simple dishes. They even have a mini stall with dishes like you have at some Chap Fun (mixed rice) stalls! Of course, there are also some noodles and rice dishes in the menu for you to choose from.
Since it was already pretty late at night, I went for a Soto Ayam instead of rice while Deardo had the Nasi Goreng something (couldn't recall which Nasi Goreng he had...). I also ordered some vegetables and rendang beef from the mixed rice corner.Our side-kicks... THE RENDANG BEEF IS UNFORGETTABLE!!!
My bowl of Soto Ayam.
Deardo's Nasi Goreng.
The Soto Ayam was really just so-so but the Nasi Goreng really satisfied Deardo Wong a lot! At first because of a long wait he said he is going to boycott the shop, but once he had the Nasi Goreng he changed his mind straight away! I think it's the fact that they fried the rice with a big fire which gives the fried rice a very nice scent! Yumzzz... And true to the makcik's recommendation, the rendang beef was super awesome!!! You can actually taste the bits of the spices with the coconut which was so yummy yet, yea unhealthy. :pLooking at these pictures, I really think I look real good in this hairstyle, don't you think so???
Together with two Limau Suam, the bill came up to less than RM20, which was surprisingly very cheap hey!
To me, if you are looking for nice Malay-Indonesian food with a cleaner environment with a decent price, then I'm sure you do not want to miss this one!

First lunch of 2011@Oriental Cravings, 1 Utama

As I said earlier, I was at 1 Utama on the first day of 2011. Right before Ducum and I went on to have our camwhore session in the fitting room, we had a sumptious lunch at Oriental Cravings.I've been here before once long long time ago and it was also 4e who brought me there. In fact, she is such a frequent customer that the lady boss actually remembers her and Ah Ma! Oriental Cravings is special in a sense where you get both hawker food, famous Chinese snacks, Kopitiam kinda food and main dishes under one roof. It's a little mixture of Dai Chao plus Kopitiam's food.It was actually our first meal of the day...
From snacks till main courses, here are what we had...Yam cake to start with...
Uncle Mike's Roti Bakar with GREEN Kaya~! I love green kaya!
Tofu with some spicy topping.
Ah Ma's Dry Curry Wantan Mee. Yummzzz...
Ducum's Claypot Lou Su Fun.
My Braised Yee Mee.
Stir-fried Lotus with Petai (ours was without the Petai).
Ah Ma's maid had the yummy-looking Belacan Fried Rice.
Uncle Mike also had this Fried Glass Noodles, with the ribbon he added in himself!
I didn't try all dishes but I was pretty happy with my plate of Braised Yee Mee. Nothing too special, but good enough to make me happy. Ah Ma's Dry Curry Wantan Mee was really nice too! I especially love the fact that the curry is curry pork in stead of curry chicken! I think the Fried Rice and Fried Glass Noodles looked really yummy too! I like the Stir-Fried Lotus with Petai (4e doesn't want the Petai :( ) a lot! I think they added some salted fish in it and that makes the dish smells really good! Hmmm... I think it will be even better with the Petai! :p
I'm not a fan of the tofu dish we ordered. The tofu itself is pretty ok but the topping wasn't very impressive.
One with my 4e, my idol and favourite 'e' since young.
Their dishes are mostly above RM10. We ended up paying around RM150 for the lunch, which is to me, pretty pricey. But I must say the portion is quite big and honestly, some of the dishes are worth their prices! And there are still some special dishes like Roast Pork Curry Mee that I really want to try!
My conclusion is, if you don't mind paying more for a better and cleaner atmosphere with some decent food, then Oriental Cravings is really not too bad a makan place.

Finally~

A new blog header for a brand new year~!
Wheee~~~
:D

Unexpectedly Fun New Year Party~

With the absence of Deardo Wong, and because of the extra public holiday we've got on Friday, Ducum and I decided to make a trip to visit Ah Ma and spend the last night of 2010 at her house. Without any earlier plan, 3e invited us to her house for a little unplanned new year party, which turned out to be quite fun!On the way to 3e's house...

Basically the party consisted of: Shirlexia, Ducum, Ah Ma, 3e, Uncle Thong, Eu Jin, Jan Yi and the maid!Ducum, Ah Ma and Shirlexia trying to be artsy!
Supposedly this picture should tell you how funny Eu Jin and Jan Yi looked like in their old pictures!
Enjoying our glass of Kahlua with milk while forcing Ah Ma to take pic with us! :p
Cheers for a better year in 2011!!! :D
Ah Ma really stayed up the whole night for the party until 2am okay?
And all we had were some liquor, chicken wings and satay. Even the chicken wings were unexpectedly awesome~!!!
Everybody loves the chicken wings!!!
Not to forget some cool music and many many versions of fireworks when it was 12am!!!3e's house has a nice view to fireworks from most parts of PJ, and even Shah Alam!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE~~~!!! :D
And it was so cool to see so many houses at 3e's place all screaming 'Happy New Year' to each other even though we don't know each other, and basically can't see each other because it was too dark! But the entire atmosphere was so fun!!! I really kinda like my 3e's place. If only if the houses there aren't so expensive... Sigh...In New York~Concrete jungle where dreams are made of~~~
We just love that song!!!
No... We were definitely NOT drunk!!!
These pictures just show how much we enjoyed the party~! Yoo~Hoo~~~!!!
Some of the drinks we had! I love my Kahlua with milk! That is really something I missed since Perth!
Anywayz, it was really quite an unexpectedly fun and cool party! I had so much fun, really! Really appreciate such small but lovely new year party with some family members in stead of going into the traffic jam and huge crowd outside!
So, many thanks to the host for that!!! :)One super nice big family picture finally~! Please excuse the maid for the quality of the picture! :p

The next day 4e brought us to 1 Utama and Ducum and I tried out this same dress at Warehouse...Damn we can really be cool model sisters! :p
Did we end up buying the dress??? You guess!!!
