新加坡旅之前的“冲刺”?

下个星期有长达一个星期(虽然真正算起来只有3天，但是我自己请假1天，再自己放自己假1天，所以连同周末总共就有7天!)的假期，深为马来西亚人真好，除了马来新年外，还碰上国庆日，不去旅行那里对得起自己呀~ 由于看日历得知有那么长的假期时已经是8月头了，所以临时也来不及计划任何长途的旅行了，唯有去邻国新加坡走走，顺便探望Darling的姐和好友Yy咯。

古语说，工欲善其事,必先利其器。 所以，要走万里路之前一定要有一双好鞋和一个背包，肩膀才不会因为只背一侧的包包而弄到酸痛。可惜，我那好穿的生日波鞋留在槟城，而且我也想要有一个好看的背包，所以今天就出发去物色“猎物”。我是个奇怪的人，如果没有什么特别节目(比如新年)或大减价的话，血拼这门运动完全提不起我的兴趣。但如果一旦有了要寻找的目标，走几久我脚和身心都不会累，还很疯狂呢~

由于我已经确定目标了，想说One Utama购物中心比较大，所以一早起身(10.30am算早吧?)梳洗后就出发往One Utama去了~ 以为应该没什么人了因为很多马来友族应该都回乡了，那里知道还是那么人山人海，找到泊车位来都要接近1点了，午餐还没解决，就赶紧去我们最爱的中餐厅“龙的传人”吃午餐~

 

Darling还是点了他的最爱，海鲜酸辣汤拉面(RM13)，每次来的必点，这算是专一吗?

我就“花心”一点，喜欢每次都吃不一样的东西，所以点了上海排骨菜饭(RM18)，最喜欢《龙的传人》的排骨了，肉很嫩又充满肉汁外，炸到酥酥脆脆的外皮很香呢，应该腌了很久吧。炒饭不会油腻却很有一股独特的锅气味，真是一分钱一分货，跟外头小贩中心的炒饭很不一样呢~

上海小笼包(RM9.80)，有4小粒。虽然小小粒，却充满肉汁，很鲜甜! 搭配黑醋就真的太好吃了，吃剩最后一粒才发现忘了拍照!

 

我又“花心”地点了从没点过的东西，葱油烧饼(RM6)。这个并不好吃，面粉部分好像太多了弄到整个烧饼不是我想象中的那么脆口，好像在吃印度Chapati酱，可是独特的青葱味还是有的。我突然间好想念去台湾夜市吃到的鸡蛋葱油饼哦，又脆又香~

在龙的传人总共吃了RM62.40，不便宜可是却很满足，谢谢Darling请客~

吃饱饱血拼时间到，本来没有意思要买鞋的，因为想说为了那一个星期的旅行特地去买多一双波鞋好像很浪费，由于KL这里已经有运动波鞋了只是很丑不想穿去旅行，平时又没有什么运动所以不会多穿，可是天意弄人，注定你要花钱就是一定要花。所以走走下看到一双包鞋，穿下也很舒服，就买了。穿包鞋也好，走路时给人(Darling)踩到脚也没那么痛~ 包鞋是在Cotton On 买的，由于我的脚奇特的大所以很难买到鞋，尤其是大减价时，但是这双鞋竟然有41号！而且有折扣，不买太对不起自己了。

好啦，买完鞋后就要找我的背包。走完整个One-U都找没有，不是太贵就是太难看不合眼缘。难得在Fossil找到一个很好看真皮制作的竟然要价七百多.... 天啊，虽然我知道是真皮，但是我.... 真的买不下手...  百多块的又看不顺眼，怎么办？我还不死心啊，势必找到为止，所以就和Darling杀去Times Square找咯~ 终于皇天不负苦心人，在Treats给我找到了~ 不会太贵，又不会太像小妹妹的背包~ 至少是Match我的路线的~

我的战力品
Cotton On包鞋-RM34.30
Treats背包-RM62.80

开心~ ^^

说也奇怪，一路上奔波地找背包时都不觉得累，但一付完钱买背包后，就觉得累死了，脚和背都要断了！人生没有目标还真的不行哈哈~ 我真不敢想象Darling是如何陪我癫的...因为买东西的人不是他啊，他都是一直在陪我走路和扛东西... 难为他了! 谢谢Darling陪我疯了一整天~

丹绒士拔(Tg Sepat)~贪吃篇

上个月中，老豆和妈咪陪我一起回KL，难得他们都来到KL了，当然要带他们去走走。我特别喜欢带他们到郊外逛逛，就好象之前去过的适耕庄和瓜雪，大家都很享受地沉溺在大自然当中。这次我们就选择去雪州的丹绒士拔(Tanjung Sepat)，会知道这个地方，全都托《美食大三通》这个美食节目所赐。由于之前这节目到马来西亚找美食，节目里有提到海鲜肉骨茶，那时我就对这门东西很感兴趣了。在一次偶然的情况下看到了一本旅游杂志介绍丹绒士拔这个地方，原来那海鲜肉骨茶的发源地就是这呀~ 除了海鲜肉骨茶，丹绒士拔还有很多好玩的呢~


由于要分享的照片实在太多了，所以就把丹绒士拔游记分成贪吃篇、观光篇和手信篇。

丹绒士拔算是个渔村，所以嘛好料当然离不开海鲜咯，这里的海鲜真的很抵吃，新鲜又便宜~


第一站：裕记海鲜肉骨茶

我们的贪吃第一站就来到了裕记来吃海鲜肉骨茶当早餐。这档主要是做早餐生意，由于是此游的重头戏，所以我们一早就出发了(8am)，怕的是没机会品尝这特别的海鲜肉骨茶呀~

罐头日

今天是我的罐头日，午餐吃面包配Nutella榛果巧克力酱，晚餐则煮罐头食品配饭吃。虽说如此，我和Darling都吃得很是滋味。罐头食品真的是有无穷的吸引力，味道那么好怎么拒绝的了呀？不过我们都不是常常吃的，一个月都没有一次，所以就还好咯。

Vivid. Fast. Slim 终于到我家咯~

 

今天 darling 带我去买最近打广告打得很响的Samsung Galaxy S II 咯~ 本来昨天还打算9月去完新加坡回来才买的，哪里知道今天实在忍不住啦，昨夜看了整晚介绍S II 的短片，哎呀算啦赶快买掉啦，顶不顺了~~~~~

一早吃完午餐后，Darling 就说直接杀去The Gardens，去 Samsung 的 Dealer Center 买掉它!!! 我们一进去，推销员也没啥介绍，我们就直接要货了~ 谢谢 Darling 的爽快，我内心实在是开心到要火山爆发了!!! 只是，必须忍住，不然很失仪态！其实昨天我们也是有去 The Mines 问过价钱了，虽然比较便宜一点，又有送 Screen Protector 和Software，可是 Darling 还是坚持要去 Dealer Center 那边买，因为他说这种 3rd Party 卖的已事先开过机了，弄过什么手脚你也不懂，而且Galaxy里头有个时钟，就是你一开机它就开始计算你手机是用了几久~

去 The Gardens 那边买也是有好处，就是Warranty多一年，总共2年~ 在这里买贵是贵了点，不过可以成为 The Gardens Club Member，可以上去 Gardens Lounge 那边喝茶休息看报纸和上网，Shopping 到累时是很享受的哦~

老豆牛一之吃盆菜咯~ @ 仙景楼

上个星期，拿了两天假期，为的就是要回家乡和老豆庆生！哦，我好想念我那在槟城的家噢~ 当然咯，回去当王帝的生活有谁不想啊？每天睡到自然醒，睡醒又有美味食物等着我，还有好多好多的电视节目向我挥手，当然啦，还有我那最亲最爱的家人陪伴！虽然只是短短的4天假期，但是每天都是过得很充实，好充实的大吃大喝，好充实的和家人聚聚，好充实的做运动！对啊，一个人在KL每次都提不起劲来做运动，所以回到老家我最喜欢的就是做运动！4天假期我就和老豆一起爬山了2天，越来越享受和老豆爬山了，可以聊天又可以听他唱歌~ 和他爬山还有一个好处就是他会帮我赶狗，哈哈！

其实越长大，我就会越来越喜欢粘爸爸妈妈，只要有机会，我都会想要回家聚一聚。可是啊，怎么槟城离首都那么远呢？回一个家就要用上整4-5个小时，就算坐飞机也要3个小时啊，谁叫机场建得那么远！不过，这次为了老豆生日，我还是决定坐飞机回一趟，一来亚航机票还算在我可以接受的价钱，二来我可不想一会到槟城整个骨头就散了，坐巴士很累的，虽然Nice Coach已经算比其他巴士好坐很多了....还好我有一位好Darling愿意载我去机场和陪我在机场等进闸~

回归正题，老豆牛一，妈妈选了吃盆菜，因为老豆说随便，叫我们自己决定要吃啥。所以，姐就在仙景楼定了一桌，我们吃盆菜去咯！还好有回家，不然就错过了这么好料又好吃的盆菜咯！

 

这间仙景楼就是我们吃盆菜的地方咯，就在新世界，New World Park~ 其实会选这间吃盆菜都是全靠姐的努力，因为是她打电话去询问几间餐馆后才决定的，很好料但价钱也可接受，是物有所值的。

Eaton Viet Thai @ Tg Bunga

 

It was a Sunday night, after swimming I and my mum went to Tanjung Bunga, somewhere near Pearl Hill there to have a set of Thaifood meal. The restaurant Eaton Viet Thai is suppose to be a housing but the owner use their terrace house as a restaurant to serve both Thaifood and Vietnamese food.

Tanjung Bunga is not a place that near my house, therefore we seldom go there to dine unless the restaurants have gained public praise  which are really worth to try or there is any special event ahead.

This day I and mum came here due to the meal voucher purchased from Milkadeal, again the online deal. Actually before the day, we had arrived this place 1 time, it was in the afternoon but the shop did not open. Also, I've made many many calls for whole day beforehand to make reservation as per requested in the voucher but nobody pick up. I was so scare that being cheated in the online deal since the shop seemed do not open at all. Until the night only they picked up and I success to make reservation for the next day lunch time. Yet, when we reached the place, they did not open the shop and we've waited for 1 hour more. OMG, again we called up and the people said they did not receive any reservation (what the hell?!) and claimed that their kitchen are closed in the noon time due to renovation. So, I made another reservation on Sunday night, hoping weekend night might have more people, so they will open.

Honestly, because of this restaurant, I've really lose confident on online deal. But this may be a good thing, because for the next time whenever I wish to purchase the voucher, I will take this as a lesson and survey the shop and their reviews properly first.

My 23rd #2 @ Daorae Korean BBQ, Bayan Point

About 4 days after my 1st celebration, now came the 2nd celebration of my birthday with my beloved family. I seldom went to Korean restaurant but actually I am so in love with Korean cuisine due to their unique spiciness and sourish flavor which tie my appetite very well. Since sister asked me to choose whatever I like to eat, so I decided to pay Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant a visit, although the youngers may not feel happy with my decision (children dislike spicy~), hehe! Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant is located at Bayan point, easily seen because it is near to the biggest roundabout in Bayan Lepas and Penang.

Because there was 9 of us, so we request for a private room, this might not be a good choice because it is difficult to call for waiter, resulting bad service we got.

Various kind of sauces and garlic were given to give a kick to the BBQ meat

My 23rd #1 @ Crepe Cottage, Gurney

I celebrated my 23rd birthday in Penang last month. Although darling was not with me, but I was totally in fun with family and friends, surprisingly. I'd like to thank my family and friends for giving me so much love and care, it really made me feel I am not alone! Glad to have all of you in my life, when I grow older, I realized how much important you all to me. Again, even though darling was not with me, I still can feel his warm and love across the air. Birthday is not a big deal, just the warm and cozy atmosphere surrounded by friends and the loved one is the most essential part.

About few days before my birthday, my old friend PJ suddenly asked if I was free to hang out together. She asked whether I wan to go Redbox or just dinner. Initially I thought  it's just a simple gathering between me, Xinyi, PJ and Jamie. Until the day, I just knew Stimfish, Imietze joined in too. I felt curious because the gang that out for that night was weird. Thanks to Xinyi who didn't require much effort to cheat and withdraw my curiosity and suspicion on the secret surprise. 

Me: Why so weird one??? I mean the people who go tonight. (Thinking there might be a secret birthday celebration for me)

Xinyi: Where got weird? Can't simply go out have dinner meh? So long time didn't meet up liao! Everytime CNY also call up everybody to meet de lah! 

Me: Oh.. but today is not CNY mah, some more today is weekday, everybody still got to work.. meeting up today is weird, weird people weird gathering!

Xinyi: Just go for dinner, long time no chat only! 

Me: Oh ic! (and feel embarrassing for thinking people go for my birthday celebration but they aren't, well, a little bit down anyway hahaha)

Then, when Imietze arrived at Xinyi house, we car-pooled to Crepe Cottage at Gurney!

Here is the place~ A simple and vintage home-cooked style restaurant, located at the busy yet classy road of Gurney, kinda contrary~

Eastern Wishes Cafe @ i-Avenue

Every Sunday is my family day, this is the day when my sister's small family will dine together with us. Not quite sure when was it already but it was the day my little niece had a performance at night time, thus my sister suggest to have lunch nearby their house instead of going to Georgetown so that her daughter can rest well and prepare for the night. Therefore, we came to Eastern Wishes Cafe, located at i-Avenue, Sg Nibong of Penang island. 

Eastern Wishes Cafe is a fusion restaurant that serves both Nanyang and Thai style cuisine. I am not quite sure how Nanyang style should be like, I guess it is something similar with Nyonya style? Spicy, sour and taste so strong.

This restaurant is located same row with the JPJ office, very easy to be found~

It is a simple home-cooked style restaurant, offering variety of Nanyang and Thai cuisine, they do the delivery service as well!

Interior environment of the restaurant

The menu, looks not quite good but actually got many Holiao (good stuff) inside

While waiting for our food after we made the order, I like to snapshot my little niece, at this time I am not sure why she was being whiny and did not want to look at my camera, because she used to love posing always. 

 

Haha, this one is cute, snaped unexpectedly when she was annoyed!

 

Another niece, she dislike to take picture but I persuaded her successfully 

Special Black Pepper Crispy Squid - RM15

A little bit different from the usual squid we had, this is so crispy until the texture is like prawn with shell, the black pepper sauce is also not quite similar with the ordinary one, this one is a little bit more like the sweet soya sauce, not that spicy and pungent as the usual black pepper sauce. I love this one!

Various Beans in Sambal - RM8

Oh this one is nice, so flavorful and it has all my favorite beans out there, especially the stink bean petai!

Hakka Namju Pork - RM15

This is also very nice, the meat has fully absorbed the yummy Namju (red fermented beancurd) until the meat is so juicy and luscious. It gains extra bonus for the deeply fried crispy out skin!

Seaweed soup - RM7

This is quite a small bowl but the fillings are great, fulled with lotsa fish balls, seaweed, veggie, fish cakes and eggs!

Fried Brinjal - RM10

I am not so loving with the eggplant, due to its strange texture. But this plate is okay to me, because the eggplant is not that weirdly soft as I thought.

Lemon Steam Red Snapper - RM35

I have to admit this one is great because I love salty-sour food so much, not very like the ordinary Teochew steam, but it is much sourer and flavorous.

Belacan Chicken Wing - RM9

This is an all-time-favorite, who doesn't love it? The chicken wings are fried until crispy outside, yet inside is still juicy and soft, and don't be doubtful, even its bone has the aroma of belacan! Can you imagine how great they marinated the chicken wing until the bone has the flavor?

Dessert time! ABC - RM4.20

This is nothing can be complained, the ice-cream is my favorite vanilla flavor, while the red beans and Atap seed are so soft~

 

Chendol - RM2.80

For me this is just so so and nothing's special, may be I just dislike Chendol and I think it just tastes like the outside ordinary hawker stall Chendol

As we had finished our lunch, and this little girl was finally willing to let me have a proper shot of her

His 26th

It is so terrible to blog about Darling's birthday now because it was already passed for few months. Yet, I still ain't wanna miss any precious memory of him in my life, so I decided to jot it down in my very own space of journal.

It was his 26th birthday, honestly I had no idea on how to celebrate his birthday, when two people be together for a long time, this may be quite a hard time when come to figure out the ideas of giving surprise or celebration. Luckily, Darling is someone who easily gratify for what I do for him, he didn't want for any big gift and big meal, instead he just want to spend his birthday quietly with me, in a delectable and most relaxable atmosphere. Therefore, I prepared him a good meal, I think this is something best and unique I can do for him, at least.

I prepared him the mixed herbs grilled chicken.  I always think when there comes a special event, western food should be served. I was quite headache when thinking  of what to cook, thanks for the web and the blog world, they inspired me for this yummilicious grilled chicken.

I am trying not to boast but sorry I have to say that this is really very yummy. I did marinate the chicken one night before, mixed a stalk of rosemary, chopped onion and garlic, chopped parsley leaves, BBQ sauce, and honey together with the chicken to make it juicy and flavorful.

On the next day, pan-fried the chicken until the outer skin is golden brown, then prepare the sauce. I did add in tomato sauce,  a little bit chili sauce, BBQ sauce, mushroom and tomato dices and the remaining of the marinated ingredients (remove all herbs in prior) to make a thicken sauce overlaid above the cooked chicken. I love this and luckily Darling loves this too!

New experience with Starcruise - Day2

Despite I slept late in the day before as I accompanied mum in casino, I still forced myself to wake up in the early 6.30am to have a good sunrise view. I just simply love the vast ocean and the lovely sunrise floats in line with the sea. Oh, I was not only the romantic person in the ship, while there was quite a number of people lay on the deck chair lifted up their eyes for the great view from sea. Or maybe they were just out from casino to take a fresh breath instead?

New experience with Starcruise - Day1

I was never into Star cruises journey and this is my first time. Thanks dad for giving me such a wonderful experience when I was back for holiday in the past May. Initially we had decided to go for Penang-Krabi-Phuket-Penang trip but it was fully booked due to the school holiday. No choice, we only had the second alternative to go, cruise within Penang region, not sure where it rode, I guess to the sea in the middle of Penang island and Butterworth? No idea because there was not even a landmark I could see in the wide and broad sea! It was just a short 2D1N journey, mainly for those who eager for gambling, but definitely not me, I was only there to have my first ever experience in big ship and enjoy for food, show and scenery! 

Yeah, we was ready for on-board registration~ Tata

白萝卜汤。美奶滋鸡。肉碎羊角豆

上个周末由于冰箱堆积了太多材料，过后又去NSK扫了一点货，所以又促使我下厨了。中午煲了白萝卜汤，炒了美奶滋鸡肉，晚上再弄烧白萝卜汤，再炒了肉碎羊角豆，满足的一天又这样过了。那天煮的东西都是好吃合胃口的，Darling也赞美味，所以心情也非常的好~ 周末就这样不出门，好好在家休息，悠悠闲闲地不用跟人潮逼，感觉还挺不错的~

Homemade Club Sandwich

After few weeks effort and I have completed a given task on my master topic review, while I am yet to start another challenging task on simulation, I decided to comfort myself with my favorite club sandwich before anything. Bread is always my priority over other carbohydrates, especially served savoury with sausage, ham, cheese, egg and etc. I don't quite like sweet bread, in fact I don't quite like sweet stuffs. Today I pampered myself with healthy yet yummy club sandwiches which satisfied and cheer me up for whole day. Yeah I admit a good meal does gladden me while bad meal can make me dejected.

My wonderful meal, simple but fit my taste to the max! I was too hungry until I prepared so much, gosh it took me 1hr++ to finish everything...

Isn't it healthy? Loads of veggies, and a big plate of orange I had! I just love veggies over meat nowadays, it makes me feel so refreshing and not satiated after the whole meal

What I had for the ingredients? 

Wholemeal Bread → Smashed boiled egg with mayonnaise (seasoned with salt, pepper, mustard sauce and dry herbs) → Lettuce → Mayo egg again → Cheddar cheese (which I cut in pieces) → Cucumber → Mayo egg again → Bread again → Spicy Tuna → Tomato slice → Spicy Tuna again → Bread as final layer

 

I love homemade, great quantity of ingredients but at cheaper price! Some more I can mix and match to fit my very own appetite. The cheddar pieces do make me feel guilty, but it is really too yummy to resist lar~ I just can't control myself from putting it in..

Oops, killing job is awaiting me tomorrow, no worries because I am fully pampered!  
*Energy Gained*
Okay, laziness, shoo shoo go away!
