-- Friends' Gathering at Secret Recipe --

About a month ago, dear dear and I had a gathering with a few of our friends -- How Zan, Ching Yin, Cent and Christine.

At first, Chin Nee and Joel also wanted to join us but Joel had to rush for assignment on that night and thus they couldn't make it.

Another couple which are Hui Yen and Wee How also couldn't joined us as they were rushing on Research Officer's Tasks.

We met at Melaka Raya's Secret Recipe and had a nice chit-chat. Both dear and I were very happy to meet friends once in a while as we would be able to know how are they doing although they're apart from us. No matter how seldom we keep in touch but our friendship will be something that grows eternally in our heart.

-- Mahkota Parade Shibaraku --

因为之前在契弟的BLOG里看见他介绍的寿司促销，就忍不住去试一试了。

于是，上两个星期日，我和老公仔就到这家名为SHIBARAKU的日式餐馆去品尝寿司。

我们去到的时候人潮并不多,但一进门就用种不对劲的感觉,可是为了寿司,一直在安慰自己想太多了.

等到我们点食物的时候,才知道原来店里的店员都不是很友善的,尤其是为我们点食物的那位. 她望人的眼神,就好像是全世界的人得罪了她似的.

在付钱的时候,我原本要写下意见,'投诉'她的态度,像她这样的服务态度,在今时今日如何能立足啊? 但是最后因为老公仔劝我说,凡事都不要太极端,要留点机会给人家,结果'投诉'就作罢了.

-- Melaka Pahlawan Mall Taro --

There is a newly opened restaurant in Melaka Pahlawan Mall -- Taro.

Dear dear and I got a chance to go there for a dinner on his birthday.

We definitely enjoyed the food as well as the romantic environment on that night.

Before we departed, let's took a photo for both of us... I had no idea what happened to me as I believe most of the people will think I am a geisha... :P

Is this a better look? Seriously, I like this photo very much except for my messy hair. :P

Guess what drink is this?
It's a honey lemon but it tastes more like honey lime. Quite nice...

Mushroom soup. The only moment dear dear will 'deal' with mushroom is with this soup.
* Any kind or type of mushrooms are as if poison to him. Haha!

Additional order -- Omelette's with its unique taste.

Taro Fish Fillet.

You must be thinking whether it's enough to make a person feel full but the answer is yes. You will feel full even you haven't finished it up. The tartar sauce is so nice and it's a perfect match with the fish fillet.

Taro Chicken Chop

This is the widely recommended dish where everybody should have tried it if you visit Taro. Couldn't describe it with any other words except DELICIOUS!

-- 100% liquor --

I know what you are curious about? What kind of liquor is it? Pure 100%?

Alright it's actually introduced to us by one of dear's Swiss colleague -- Andy.

What Andy did was actually to pour half to one cup of 40% Vodka into a glass. Then he cut the lemon into slices and put half slice of the lemon on top of each of the glass. Next, he dip the sugar cube into the 60% Rum and put them on top of each half-sliced lemon.

That's what he did next. Use a lighter to lit on the sugar cube. The purpose of doing so is to melt the sugar cube. Then, the drinks are ready to be served. You need to finish up the Vodka first, followed by eating the lemon together with the sugar cube right after that. After you 'enjoyed' the drink, you will feel your stomach is on fire.

Sound cool? Certainly it is not 100% pure but if your remember the 40% Vodka and 60% Rum, they sum up to be 100%. Haha!

-- Birthday of someone special --

My dear dear had his birthday on early of this month. 1+1=2 (that's the hints of the birthdate)

I bought 3 different presents for him and I guess he like them all as he already utilized every of the present either daily or frequently. Hehe.

Look at this couple bear. Do they look like dear dear and I?

Dear dear's Nike stoking seems be to worn. So I bought three pairs for him.

Nice wrapping ya? Guess what's it inside?

Polo Belt. Dear dear's original belt was torn. So a new belt suit him just nice.

I like the design of this belt's face. So unique of it.

You must be wondering what's the third present.

It's a Yonex badminton racket but I didn't take a photo on it.

So, if you feel like seeing it, maybe you can ask us to go for badminton someday. Hehe..

-- Penang Trip [Day 4] --

The fourth day in Penang -- we were about to leave but ZhenJian still brought us to enjoy the famous "Pan Mee" in a shoplot which is located at the ground floor of a flat.

Pan Mee

Dear dear and I were at Coffee Bean in Penang Airport.

Xiao Chan was taking the same flight as us because she wanted to go back to her hometown.

Xiao Chan and I took a photo in front of the chocolate and perfume shop in the check-in area of Penang airport.

Dear dear and I at the domestic and international flight's waiting area to wait for the announcement of our flight to be on board.

-- Penang Trip [Day 3] --

Long time didn't update blog. :P

Flashed back memory on Penang Trip.

On the third day in Penang, we enjoyed famous and delicious food as usual as well as met with several friends who are currently working in Penang and definitely we had a nice gathering.

Before we left for lunch, Xiao Chan wanted to take photo in series with ZhenJian's sis - Britney.
Brit is so cute and she even attended puppy's lessons in KL.

It was pretty difficult to persuade Britney to sit still to take a photo. Haha!

Wow... How was the feeling of holding Britney on hand? She loves to kiss her guest if she likes them, just like what she did to me -- kissed me for about three times.

Xiao Chan mentioned that she likes Britney so much and I believe she would definitely like this photo the most as she was like so close to Britney in the photo.

Britney's fur is so soft till you can't stop yourself from hugging her.

This was what we ate in the afternoon -- Loh Mee.
The stall which we visited is quite famous in Penang.

Bamboo Case Rice -- Quite special way of serving food.

Yang Zhou Fried Rice -- recommended by Clarence.

Cheesy Bake Rice at the restaurant opposite of Queensbay Mall.

Two pretty girl - Kate and Xiao Chan.
Thanks Kate for treated us for the wonderful dinner at that night.

F3-ZhenJian, Clarence and dear dear after enjoyed with their delicious food.

Collin- birthday boy on 17th Oct. He was enjoying his cheesy bake rice.

-- My little cousin --

On the second day in Penang, we also paid a visit to my uncle's house and then only we were brought to enjoy our seafood dinner in Batu Kawan.

ZhenJian and my dear -- Gay partner. Haha! Kidding ok?

Xiao Chan -- Do you notice she looks even prettier with her new specs?

My little cousin -- Little Jess and her Barney.
ZhenJian mentioned on her beauty and we absolutely agree with him.
ZhenJian, wait for another 18 years.. ok?

Lastly, I ought not to let go a chance to take a photo with my cute and pretty cousin. Muaks..
