Herbs & Spices Restaurant

I was darn hungry after working late on last friday. Hence, i decided to drop by some place to have a meal before heading home

 as most of the shops have closed, i decided to head to this restaurant...

it is supposed to be closed at that time too...

but somehow, their operation hour is flexible, without any hesitation, i headed in and ordered my food

 it was quiet and not much people in this restaurant

 vacant seats everywhere...only a few tables were occupied

 it basically serves fusion food, steaks and some local cuisine...

and this is what i ordered

seafood fried rice with satay...

u can't see the seafood, as the prawns and squids were hidden beneath the rice...

but anyhow, the meal doesn't impress me at all...it looks very 'dead'

mayb i wasn't in good appetite too...

too much stress to handle during work and i dun feel the mood to enjoy a meal!

Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant

Me and sis went to this Korean BBQ place for dinner one fine Sunday

It was her treat, so this time i decided to order as much as my stomach can fill...

while she browsed thru the menu, i snapped some pictures...of the utensils and cutleries

we ordered pork and chicken...and then the grilling process starts... 

 i was quite hungry while waiting for the porks and chicken to be ready, so i ate some of the condiments while the chefs do the grilling

 we also ordered kimchi soup which comes with rice

 below are some of the condiments - in clockwise: kimchi, korean pancake and cucumbers

roughly there were about 8 refillable side dishes (condiments), one steam egg and soup that comes along with the barbeque meal...plus dessert included!

 

 it was very filling...

all thanks to this 'boss' for the treat!

ooppss...the 'boss' was busy on her iPad...

Char Kuey Teow

I went to morning market alone last Sunday, since it was nearing noon, i decided to take a brunch as well.

Mum recommended this stall earlier, so i decided to give it a try.

I ordered a small plate of fried flat noodles mixed with yellow noodles

turns out to be so-so only 

the only nice is the prawn...other than that, jst mediocre

it's so hard to get a decent nice plate of Char Kuey Teow these days.

I guess i need to go to Penang to look for it...

Chinese Wedding Biscuit

You might want to congrat me if u see this.

BUT

again, it is NOT MY WEDDING, k...

my cousin sis jst got wed last week...and somehow, as a tradition, the family will distribute this delicacy (known as "daughter-weds-out" biscuit....direct translation, lol!)

Well, it is quite a common delicacy, and can be bought in any chinese pastry shop these days...

The one on the right is wedding biscuit, meanwhile the cone-shape-like-thingy on the left is also part of the wedding biscuit which is normally used for decoration (though it is edible). This is the first time i'm seeing it. It looks weird after being cut into half, but it tasted jst as good as the wedding biscuit!

this kinda biscuit used to be cheapo stuff where people dislike eating, but somehow i enjoyed it mch...coz it reminds me of...

mooncakes!

lol!

Cute Stuffs in da shop

Let me feast ur eye with some cutie and girlie stuffs.

There is this newly opened shop in the neighbourhood, which i can't remember it's name, and it sells very victorian kinda souvenirs and toys...

it just happened that we drop by that place after lunch to have a 'look-see' around

 most of the items there is either in pink or beige or white

 and  a lil' touch of gold ;-)

 yea, the phone is REAL! stupid me asking the sales assistant if it is meant for display!

 yeah..it is being displayed for sale and it is a functioning phone!

well, this shop is suitable for girls or someone who wants to buy gifts during Valentine...lol!

definately not for me ;-P

Sakae Sushi

As mentioned in my previous post, I went to this sushi shop to have bento set!

crazy eh?

anyhow, the bento set meal isn't something to shout about...jst that i dun feel like having sushi for a meal...and bento is alwiz my preference ;-)

This is what i ordered for mum - salmon and chicken teriyaki set

 meanwhile, sis choose to have tempura set with unagi fish...yummielicious!

it was a late dinner and we spent almost 1 hour plus there till the shop close!



Japanese 'wind'

As I mentioned in my previous post, the next cuisine to try out will be Japanese...

well, i did went to some sushi restaurant and had bento set (what? u mst tink i m not rite here...)

but that will be featured in my next post ;-) stay tuned!

At the meantime, here's what i had from the couple of weeks ago...

Green tea milk with red bean from Ochado!

This drink is superb...i like how the sweetness of red bean jived with the bitterness of green tea...well, it does taste bitter but refreshin'

thanks to boss for treating tis!

 Next, sushi set sis bought from Jusco...

 this is best served with wasabi and soy sauce she bought from her recent trip in Tokyo

and not to leave out, this yummielicious instant noodle, also from that trip

thick but flat noodle in miso soup, something new,

wish i could get some over here

bon appetit!
