Big Breakfast

What would you prefer for a breakfast?

Western set?

This big breakfast meal served at Mon Boulangerie consists of salad, baked beans, white loaf bread, hot dog, ham, scrambled egg and hash brown...

drooling....

 or eastern set?

my ideal eastern breakfast will have lemon tea, ramen noodle with ham and sunny side up egg...

i prefer BOTH!

Tun Dr. Mahathir Birthday Banquet - Part 2

We got into the hall at almost 8:45pm and after all those speeches, we were being served food and entertainment...

Some local singers here dedicating their masterpiece song to our prominent leader, Tun Dr. Mahathir...

 Guess who stole the limelight?

It was her!

 yes...it's her!

 still can't get it?

Well, our famous jazz queen, Sheila Majid...

an iconic performer durin' the 90s...and i remembered her performing at several company annual dinners that i attended with my parents back then.

She looked as stunning as before...as if she never aged a day!

 with the rendition of good songs...who cares about the lousy hotel food?!

anyhow...food is so-so, nothing superb...but i enjoyed having the longevity noodles cooked in such a way...

 and the dessert was nice too...lycee tart with vanilla ice-cream is a great pairing!

Bon Appetit!

Tun Dr. Mahathir Birthday Banquet - Part 1

My boss was in Tanzania when he sent me an invitation to attend Tun Dr. Mahathir birthday dinner at Shangri-la Hotel organized by our company.

Needless to say, i jumped onto the opportunity and accepted it coz i wanted to meet him in person!

it was held the following week (while my boss was still stuck abroad!)

Despite an ordinary Monday evening...i was full of excitement coz this is probably the first and the last time i will see this prominent leader so upclose and near!

and btw, these flowers were not for decoration...they were doorgifts! 

 some rice displayed and for sale

 rice milling machine...well, i dun understand what it does!

it seems like u put in rice...and came out the same thing! nothing looks different to me after processing...hahaha!

 and while the guests had gone into the hall...our staffs have to stand at the lobby to create a 'merry' atmosphere

some photographer to shoot the historic moment

 hall entrance

 registration...only for guests...not for us staffs

pity us the staffs...we gotta wait outside the hall until all our guests had gone in :-(

Typical Home Cooked Dishes

Sis would normally whipped out a full-fledged meal at home whenever she feel free to cook...even for a single-person...

 it has been some time since i last had a proper home cooked meal...and i yearn for a hot soup, bittergourd omelette and pork! yumz!

put aside the presentation, the food is still yummieliciouz despite simple and less appealing.

African Daisy

Got this pot of African Daisy as a doorgift from a recent dinner banquet that i attended

 unfortunately, it doesn't last long...it died 2 weeks later due to climate issue (i guess!)

at least i took a photo of it when it was in full blossom days ;-)

Yong Tau Foo & Char Kuey Teow

You must be wondering what it means from the title of this post...

sounds as strange as it seems to a foreigner, Yong Tau Foo & Char Kuey Teow are actually my 2 fav foods...

i sneaked out on one fine Friday nite...and ventured into authentic street (hawker) food...at the nearby OUG garden.

This plate of Char Kuey Teow (fried flat noodles) was surprisingly dirt cheap at only MYR4.5 per plate with generous servings of shrimps, fish cake and cockles (if u opt for it). Well, it might not be the best version that i had tried, but still, it is OK to give it a try.

 the Yong Tau Foo (fishpaste stuffed in beancurd, bittergourd, ocra, eggplant...whatever that can be stuffed!) is another "value for money" street food...

Not only it looks colourful & tempting, but it satisfies my hungry tummy...and it is only MYR1 per piece!

i feasted happily on my "value-meal" in less than MYR8!

nevertheless, it has been ages since i last "dine" on the roadside and i'm gonna do it again!

Star Village Restaurant

Star Village restaurant is no longer alien to many of us younger generation residing in KL area...it's an ideal place for not only dining, but photoshooting and dating coz of it's interior that is well-decorated...

We went to the OUG outlet for our dinner...I ordered myself a "Mamaland Chicken" (i guess it derived from "Maryland Chicken")...

it comes in a big portion with banana fritter, hot dog, fries, salad and a big piece battered deep fried chicken.

 the mango salad is very well presented too! It was shared among four of us.

 sis ordered beet root drink (which comes in a jar with some mini cups)...turns out good...and it paired well with our fries...

Bon Appetit!
