KK Road Trip 'Jan 2010 - Day 2

2010-02-06T01:06:00.002+08:00

Let's continue with my KK travelogue - Day 2

1) Woke up at 9am, got ourselves prepared and ready to have breakfast with Cousin Ping Ping and the little, adorable Jocelyn. She is one smart girl and beware to be bombed with endless questions when you meet her! She can ask about anything and that explains why she is such a knowledgeable girl at the age of 5 haha

Jocelyn hugging tight to the Pringles which Hubby bought her.

2) Cousin Ping Ping brought us to a Chinese Kopitiam that serves one of the most popular and must eat local delicacy which is KK's Kolo Mee aka "Sheng Rou Mian". I've blogged bout my first experience on having KK's Kolo Mee in year 2008 and I was really "sua ku", lol! Just in case any of you guys did not know.. KK's Kolo Mee is really different from Brunei's Kolo Mee because the noodles they used is thicker than the one that is being used in Brunei. Other than that, the soy sauce that they used for seasoning the noodles is thick soy sauce which the noodles is presented in dark color. The noodles and its ingredients are separated. There is no char siew topping on your Kolo Mee. Instead, another bowl of soup which contains fish balls, meat balls, minced meat, vegie and etc would be served together with the noodles. It's really unique and it would make you really full when you finished one bowl of noodles with one bowl of soup.

Another must try is their Steamed Tofu which the people there called it "Bai Tofu". It can be found in most of the Kopitiams that serve "Sheng Rou Mian" as KK-ians have the habit of ordering "Bai Tofu" with "Sheng Rou Mian".

I'm unsure about the name and location of this Kopitiam that I visited but it is NOT in KK Town. This kopitiam was located somewhere in Penampang I guess.. it's actually quite hidden as it located within the residential area.

"Bai Tofu", this was really good!

"Sheng Rou Mian", a popular delicacy.

3) Hubby and I decided to spend our second day in KK shopping in KK's town area. Having shopping for hours, our tummies were already 'complaining'. Thus, we decided to try out Fish & Co. at Warisan Square and it was a wrong decision.

There weren't much selections from the menu. And I thought Fish & Chips is their signature dish so I should order it and I did; I had New York Fish & Chips. Hubby decided to try out their set meal that comes with soup of the day. He had Teriyaki Salmon as his main course. We were really surprise when the soup was served as we didn't expect the restaurant to serve Szechuan soup. Seriously, we were expecting Cream of Mushroom soup or Tomato Soup but this is kinda different from our thoughts.

We could tell that the Szechuan soup was actually those instant type and the fish & chips was really oily in my opinion. It took me hard time to actually finish it. We ended up spending RM62 on this meal which wasn't worth to us.

Pink Passion RM5.90

Soft drink that came with the complete set

Szechuan Soup

New York Fish and Chips $16.90

Teriyaki Salmon, complete set = RM23.90 + RM6.50

Close up

4) Dinner at Upperstar. Since the first day that we arrived KK and met Kiat, he had been asking us whether have we heard bout Upperstar or tried it out.
So we asked him, "Is Upperstar's food really thaaaaaaaaaaat good since you keep introducing it to us?"
Kiat calmly replied, "ermmmmm the food, not bad but also not that nice".
Kek Dao to the maxxx.
But still, Hubby and I decided to try it out since Kiat made it sound like Upperstar is another must visit restaurant in KK. Therefore, Kiat brought us to Upperstar's Lintas branch.
Hubby and I was amazed by it's atmosphere when we arrived. It was really lively!
The restaurant was filled with diners and we really wanted to sit in the air-conditioned area but there wasn't any seats available thus we had to sit in smoking area :(
But that didn't turn us off :D
We noticed there were numbers of diners ordering alcoholic drinks and upon checking the prices of those drinks on the menu, we were kinda surprised. It was really cheap! But we didn't order any lar since we already planned to visit Ice Bar after dinner.
We asked Kiat for his recommendations and he suggested us to try out the lamb chop.
In the end, we ordered Lamb Chop with Upperstar sauce, Baked Seafood pasta, Baked Mushroom soup and Bruschetta bread.
The Bruschetta bread was too dry and we didn't like it. It was over baked.
As for the Mushroom soup and Seafood Pasta, both was tasty and the pasta was cheeeeesy which we loike!
I was shocked when the lamb was served on our table as I seriously did not expect to enjoyed 3 big pieces of lamb chop at the price of RM13.70. Side dishes like chips and salad were served with the lamb chop too! That's a really good bargain I tell you. I won't compare it with Brunei cause it's kinda unfair due to lotsa factors but even in KK, it's hard to get that kind of price in most restaurants that serve Western cuisine.
Some people might think cheap stuff doesn't comes with good quality but this is so different in Upperstar.
Not only for Rm13.70 we got to enjoy big portion of lamb chop, it actually tasted heavenly delicious! That made Hubby and I blaming Kiat for his "not bad but not that nice" comment cause the food tasted really really yummylicious to us.
If you are going to visit KK, do visit Upperstar and I'm sure you're gonna like it!
Upperstar has got few branches and there is one located in KK town which is near to Hyatt Hotel.
The address of the branch that we visited is: Lot 97, 98 & 99, Ground Flr, Lintas Plaza, Phase 2C. Contact number: 088-233636.

Look at the crowd! This is just part of the people in the restaurant.

5) After dinner, it's clubbing time! Bet most you have heard bout Ice Bar which is located in 1Borneo. It's a newly opened bar and its theme is blue and white and the interior is chic designed. Although it's called Ice Bar but it wasn't what I've thought initially (like glass made out of ice and etc). It's only uniqueness is that it has a small room which is in really low air temperature but it's only open to access when one has purchased their special drink. It was Wednesday night during our visit (aka Ladies night) thus I received free drink coupon.
When we arrived the bar, CJ, QJ, SL, Max, HW, Vincent, CY, Mad, Jason were all already there (yeap, we went to KK on the same day but they took flight and we chosed to travel by car). It's always nice to meet close friends in foreign city and what's more we were clubbing together!
Since there were four of us who got the drink coupons thus we were allowed to redeem for a bottle of alcohol and we were given Absolut. Once again, it was another good bargain!

CY, SL and Max

Before I arrived, the guys had already ordered a bottle of Smirnoff *thumbs up*

Absolut Vodka that we got it for free *Whee!*

Had the vodka mixed juice.

Hubby also ordered a bottle of Corona and it tasted really good and smooth and it didn't have the strong taste which other beer beverages have.

There was this female customer who got so 'high' and decided to do pole dancing :P

HW, CJ and Mad inquiring the bartender regarding the shot drinks

That's the Ice Room which wasn't that fascinating after all

The guys made decision and ordered few shots of flaming B52. I didn't try it out but it smelt just like Bailey's Caramel flavour and looks like Teh C Special Panas hahahaha

Max enjoying B52

CJ ordered a BIG glass of cocktail drink for us young ladies ^^

That's how we ended our day 2 in KK. Stay tune for Day 3 and 4 :P

Lunch in Excapade & Barracudas

2010-02-02T23:07:00.000+08:00

Managed to lunch with course mates last two weeks at the first Excapade branch which is located in Kiulap.
It was my first time trying out Excapade's bento and I choosed 'Mixed Skewer Bento' and shared with Ein.
And we both were so greedy that we even order other side dishes and sushi which we both regretted cause we were tooooo full after that.
Didn't even manage to finish the Chawan Mushi hehehe

Triple S

Tofu Teriyaki

Salmon Asparagus

Lamb maki

Mixed skewer bento; looks yummy isn't it?

Chawan mushi - included in the bento

During that night, I went to watch Barracudas' home match with Singapore Slingers and later then I know it was last home match for Barracudas.
Anyways, it was a good match to watch and thanks to SKY for providing us the free tickets!
Really appreciated it bro!

KK Road Trip 'Jan 2010 - Day 1

2010-02-01T07:57:00.006+08:00

*phew!* I finally managed to finish editing the KK Road Trip pictures smooth and well.
This trip is rather different from my previous trip to KK because I was able to visit quite a few places which I didn't during my previous trip in year 2008.
Other than this, it's also my very first time having a 'window' traveling experience... meaning to say that, I didn't purchase anything for myself!
...and I still couldn't believe it hahaha but I did bought 2 shirts and 1 sweater for mom which she would need for her upcoming trip to Taiwan.
Alright, let's scroll down to see the pictures~

1) First stop at Limbang's Boon Hua Restaurant for breakfast.

Kolo mee at RM2.50

2) Ferry that brought us over to the next border, Temburong.

3) Arrived Temburong.

4) After crossing through few places (Trusan, Lawas, Sipitang... etc), we finally arrived KK town!

5) This is Suria Sabah which is a new mall + departmental store in KK town. Nothing much fun there as the mall was still quite empty, there weren't much vendors or stores opened yet.

6) Our first meal in KK - Little Italy

Obviously enough, Little Italy is an Italian Restaurant that serves pastas and pizzas.

The interior of the restaurant.

We visited the restaurant during lunch time at around 1pm. Thus, we were valid to order their set lunch which was quoted at a more worthwhile price rather than ala carte. There were different types of set lunch and we ended up with a set of pasta set lunch and a set of pizza set lunch.

For the pasta set lunch: Garlic Bread + Soup + Pasta
For the pizza set lunch: Garlic Bread + Pizza + Cappuccino

Iced Lemonade RM7.90

Cappuccino

Garlic Bread

We had soup of the day and it was Tomato Cream Soup.

The pasta we ordered. It was Fettucini in Salsa Primavera sauce and the sauce contains of white wine. It was really delicious as the pasta was not the instant type which we could get from supermarkets. I believe the noodle was made by the chef.

Hawaiana Pizza; this was really cheesy but not as good as Fratini in my opinion.

The exterior of the restaurant

7) Dropped by Warisan Square

Part of Warisan Square

8) Juice Up

We got thirsty and purchased two fruit juices from this stall.

Hubby's healthy drink

My diet drink *LOL*

9) We met up Sis Joyce and had dinner with her family at New Man Tai Restaurant. I must say, the food was superb! Even though we ordered simple dishes like Sweet and Sour Pork and Omelette but it really tasted good and cheap too!

10) Had supper at Tanjung Aru food court with Cousin Kiat.

Ordered 'tongkeng' and satay from stall 1 and Papaya juices from stall 2.

Tongkeng

Lamb and Chicken satay. 50cents each.

Giant Papaya Juice

11) Strolled along Tanjung Aru's beach.

Along the beach, we could see many youngsters hanging out with friends, couples dating as well as families with children.

12) Sutera Harbour Resort

Kiat brought us to Sutera Harbour Resort for a visit.

The clear clear sea.

The man-made beach.

And that's what we did on our first day in KK. Although it was only our first day in KK but I feel that we had visited quite a few places ^^

Stay tune, day 2 coming up soon!

Flavours, Gadong (next to Little Bean Electrical Store)

2010-01-30T08:29:00.000+08:00

Laptop is acting naughty again! Having troubles turning it on and I was halfway editing pictures of KK trip when it failed on me. Bad Saturday morning >.<

Forget bout my unfortunate experience and I should called myself lucky that I managed to upload some pictures taken during my second visit to Flavours before laptop failed.
Seriously, having dined twice in Flavours, I wouldn't say their food is really great but it's a nice place to dine with its atmosphere.
And their set meals are really worth to order especially for big families.
I would still regard it as a good place for "lim teh" as their drinks are quite nice such as Java Float.

Java Float

Oreo Milkshake

Iced Latte *i think*

SKY and Ho Wee

Baked Chicken Rice ordered by SKY. He commented that the rice was too dry but the chicken was served in generous portion and tasty.

Teriyaki Chicken Rice *I think* ordered by Joyce. She didn't quite like it.

Fish and chips ordered by Hwa. We were surprised by its presentation as we all thought a big piece of fish fillet would be served instead of what's shown in the picture above. Doesn't it looks like kid's meal?

Kerabu. Ho Wee ordered this by mistaken. He actually thought Top Shell would be one of the ingredients in this Kerabu but there wasn't any. But overall it was quite tasty.

I ordered a quarter chicken served with mushroom sauce, green vegies and mashed potato. Ir tasted quite nice but there is still improvements on the mushroom gravy as I thought it was a little sweeter.

Chit-chat session after meal.

Healthy Burgers at Millenium Fast Food, Beribi

2010-01-26T09:40:00.000+08:00

Time table is almost settled and assignments/tasks are slowly pouring in.
Started to feel a little stressful after knowing there are few deadlines in February (which is also the month of CNY 2010! arrrggghhhh!).
I could imagine stuffing my head down reading books or staring at screen doing research and reports during CNY.
Eeeeeeeeee~ not fun.
Okie lar, below are pictures of "Healthy Burgers" from Millenium Fast Food.
I've heard bout their "Healthy Burgers" for ages but never bother to try out and the other day while I was dining in Millenium Restaurant, I bumped into Boh and Lun and they were dining in Millenium Fast Food.
I noticed two yummy looking burgers on their table and quickly stopped them from munching and took out my camera and started to snap away hahaha
Boh and Lun claimed that they often visit Millenium Fast Food for their burger and usually they would opt for the set meal instead of just the burger. They said its more worth to go with set.
I don't know how yummy is it (as I just finished the lunch buffet so there is no more room in my tummy haha) but the two guys seemed really satisfied and from their expressions, I could tell that the burgers are really tasty which is making me wanna try it out one day!

Pehin Lau's Diamond Wedding Anniversary

2010-01-23T17:56:00.003+08:00

Hubby and I was honored for being invited to attend Pehin Lau's Diamond Wedding Anniversary weeks ago and it was held at Manggis Ballroom.
It was one of the great wedding function that I've attended and it was really grand!
Instead of taking lift to the highest floor where the ballroom locates, we were asked to stop on 4th floor and walked up to the ballroom so that we could enjoy the performance by a group of Chinese orchestra performers.
When we entered the ballroom, the atmosphere was really lively!
Every guests seemed really happy and the ballroom was really red. For Chineses, red stands for a very auspicious color, thus, this explains the red theme.
Food was great as well and it was my first time trying "Oolong Tea Prawns", very unique indeed although the prawns was marinated with too much pepper.
Overall, it was a great dinner with good food and entertainment. We were able to enjoy the Chinese orchestra performance by a group of students from Miri and also dance performances ^^

De'tymz Cafe, Kiulap

2010-01-21T09:24:00.002+08:00

Before new semester had started, the Rainbow team members had a gathering at De'tymz Cafe which is located in Kiulap (it's below Bakerlyn cafe).
For your information, De'tymz Cafe is currently under a new management so do expect more promotions coming up!
From what I know, De'tymz does have 10% discount card but I'm unsure about the requirements of getting the card. If you're a frequenter to De'tymz, do inquire their staffs on how to obtain the card.
One of the reasons that made me like this place is their wide varieties of drinks selection that range from a simple cup of coffee to special drinks like mocktails and many more. And some drinks are even named with unique names which make you feel curious and wanted to try them all! Just like you never knew that 'Shirley Temple' has got a 'Shirley Sisterz' haha
Other than beverages, there are quite a number of varieties on their food menu such as sandwiches, snacks, steaks and even Asian cuisine like fried noodles and butter milk chicken rice.
Although De'tymz might not be that spacious but still I find it really cozy to dine there or have some tea break especially with a few friends. It's definitely another good 'lim teh' spot for people and they do have an outdoor area as well.

Carmen feeling very very happy^^

As the title reads, Lady Luck has not been with me lately and some of you might have learnt bout my bad experiences through facebook.
My laptop 'almost' K.O (Cause I still managed to on it after I posted this on my facebook status so I said 'almost'. And of course, after several attempts of trying to boot the laptop).
Then few days later, I woke up to my horror and found that my closet was broken. I had to take out my clothes stack by stack in order to pick the clothes that I wanted to wear. No kidding. But I considered myself lucky for being able to fix the closet *phew*
A day after that, bro's pc was infected with virus. We managed to format it ourselves but still had drivers problem and that is making the pc unable to produce sound and connect to internet.
This morning, I tried to on my laptop and same thing happened again. Just couldn't get it booted even after like 30-40 attempts. KEK SI.
So I brought it to computer store for checking and two technicians advised me to get new laptop as repairing it would cost me $500++
Now, I officially announce the death of my cute laptop =(
Arrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Hubby's 24th Birthday Dinner

2010-01-18T07:00:00.000+08:00

During Hubby's birthday, we had dinner at Kimchi Restaurant which is located in Kiulap.
Kimchi was having the All-you-can-eat BBQ promotion during the night we visited but we didn't opt for that as we didn't wanna eat that much.
We had Kimchi spring roll which Hubby and I both think that the size for each spring roll has been reduced but it used to serve 4 spring roll per serving so I guess it's still fair.
We also had Dakgogi and Kimchi Dolsotbap.
I must say that Kimchi has got really friendly staffs with superb attitude. Their captain even kindly helped us mixed the dolsotbap then divided into four bowls so each of us could enjoy the rice easier. Really helpful.
Other than that we also ordered Bibim Naeng Myun (buck wheat cold noodles and obviously, it's served cold) and Haemul Pa Jeon, the seafood pancake.
I personally like the cold noodles a lot but I also feel that it's kinda expensive as it costs $12 per bowl and the serving is really little.
As for their pancake, I would suggest the chef to fried it a little bit longer to add crispiness to the pancake. This would taste a lot better.
Before I forget, a tip to all of you who are visiting Kimchi soon, their side dishes are refillable and they wouldn't charge extra cent on you.
Another reason to visit Kimchi again haha and I must say dining in Kimchi always give me good experience (although I've only visited it thrice) because they have a group of well trained staffs that really make you feel comfortable. They are really friendly, caring and thoughtful.
And I do agree that some times it's not the taste of the food that should be prioritized when judging a restaurant or cafe.
If you do not have a trained crew who serve your customers right, your customers might not feel right tasting your food as they are already unhappy with the service.
This is just one of the very few thoughts that I have had since the opening of the new restaurants and cafes lately.
Hopefully the managements of these newly opened restaurants and cafes can learn something from the successful examples especially in our local food industry and survive~ !

p/s: How could I forget to mention that SKY (da BFF!) had spent his precious time and effort hand made an Iphone birthday card for Hubby (all of us know that it was his dream phone and I think he has new target recently haha). It was really thoughtful of him! Thanks a lot bro!

I was tempted to try their weekend hightea platter but it wasn't on weekends during my visit =(

Introducing "Tempe" to you guys which you guys might wanna try it out next time at Tamu Selera.
You can easily order it from most of the stalls in Tamu Selera but we usually order it from Gerai 4.
I also like the Cucur Udang and Tofu from Gerai 3 and dipping these cucur with their sambal is really kick!
Another tip for people who like to eat Ayam Penyet in Gerai 3 yet thinking that they might not be able to finish the rice, well, you can opt for their Nasi Katok which serves also a piece of chicken and their signature sambal. It's only $1 btw.

Tafu Restaurant, Gadong (Batu Bersurat)

2010-01-04T11:02:00.000+08:00

Tafu Restaurant is located in Gadong (Batu Bersurat) which is near to Low San Hardware.
It has been around for sometimes and I did visit it before years back but it was under different management. Years later, I finally had a chance to try it out with family and I was told that the restaurant is now under new management.
Tafu Restaurant is a typical Chinese restaurant that major in serving Chinese cuisine.
Not only that, they also have some Malay dishes, Indonesia dishes as well as Western dishes listed on their menu.
If you wish to have a quick lunch without spending much time on deciding what you want from the menu (they have lotsa varieties on their menu! look at the pic below ^^), you can try out their economic rice set. Quite a few patrons had it during my visit.
While browsing through the menu, we saw that their Sizzling Lamb Chop rice was only $5 and brother decided to give it a try but he requested for fried rice so there was and additional $1 charge to it. Kinda pricey as I thought usually other restaurants only charged additional $0.50.
Meanwhile, I ordered Penang Fried Kueh Teow and mom ordered Shanghai Chicken rice as we both remembered during our visit years back, we were awed by their Shanghai Chicken rice so we wanted to see if it could still make us "wow".
When the Penang Fried Kueh Teow was served, I was kinda surprised as it looked like Mee Mamak instead. Usually Penang Fried Kueh Teow looked kinda dark in presentation and would consist of clams, prawns and chicken. However, in Tafu, the waitress would ask you to choose one from each and I opted for chicken so my fried kueh teow was fried with chicken only.
It tasted really like Mee Mamak just that the noodles used is kueh teow but nonetheless, it was actually tasty although it didn't look like the typical Penang fried kueh teow I've tried in other places. I could taste the spiciness in the noodles and little bit of sourness.
Mom's Shanghai Chicken rice wasn't that bad too. Just that the sauce was a little sweeter when compared to Yappy's Shanghai Chickren rice.
Bro's Sizzling Lamb Chop was kinda hard to chew but the black pepper gravy was tasty enough and the serving portion was about 3-4 pieces of lamb chops.
Price range of the food is fair.
There are just too much varieties in the menu and I think I'd return there one day to try out other dishes on the menu.
Or perhaps, if you've already visited the restaurant, do feel free to share your reviews ^^

Lotsa choices on the menu

Miri Trip 2009 + Dinner at Yappy Kopitiam

2010-01-02T20:07:00.003+08:00

I visited Miri in last December, before Christmas.
Managed to try out Sushi King which is located in Bintang Plaza's new wing. Seriously speaking, the food ain't that good especially compared to our local's favourite Japanese restaurant, Excapade. Sushi wasn't wrapped nicely and the takoyaki we ordered were full of starch. There weren't much ingredients found in the takoyaki except octopus.
Other than Sushi King, I was also able to try out Secret Recipe. The business was in brisk, it was really crowded.
Ordered a slice of Tiramisu cake and it was yummy. However, due to time consuming, I wasn't able to try out other food on the menu.
When we returned to Brunei, Hubby and I was starving and so we settled our dinner at Yappy Kopitiam. Hubby ordered their Curry Chicken rice @ $3.50 and it was quite tasty. Worth trying and as usual, I ordered my all time favourite, Shanghai Chicken rice ^^

UBD supplementary list is out and I guess results is going to be released anytime soon, I'm nervous! I've also checked Sem 4 timetable and found out that I'm having 2 hrs lecture on Saturday afternoon *grrrrrr*
I was very looking forward to Year 2010 as I'm traveling to KK next week (hope the plan goes smooth) and also to somewhere in July (although I haven't start saving for the travel fund).
Anyways, hope all of us would do better in Year 2010 and forget bout all the sadness or unfortunate things happened in 2009.

Flavours is a new restaurant in the local food industry which has just opened its door to the public recently. It's located next to Little Bean Electrical Company which is easily spotted as it's near to the road that leads to the central Gadong.

In conjunction with the restaurant's soft opening, Flavours is having a promotion which any meal order that is $5 or above are eligible to enjoy a free drink at your own choice. It is a good bargain as most of the drinks on the menu are like $3 per glass.

Flavours also serve set meals which are suitable for big groups like 5-6 people and it seems really worth. Maybe I shall give it a try next time.
Other than that, Flavours not only serve Western food like sandwiches, steaks and etc. It also serve rice dishes as well as ala carte dishes like Curry Fish Head and etc.

Mom ordered herself Buttermilk Chicken Rice and when it was served, I thought the serving was quite pathetic. She also commented that the buttermilk sauce was kinda sweet to her liking.
Bro on the other side, ordered himself a plate of Chicken Chop rice and the portion was really little to me. He didn't comment bout the food bout I could tell that he didn't enjoy it much.
I ordered Sweden Chicken Rice, I think. Actually I don't quite remember what I ordered and I've lost the receipt =S
But I can say that it tasted just like soy sauce chicken and the meat was kinda hard to chew. Same as what I've mentioned, the portion was kinda little. I was only given 4 small pieces of chicken meat.
Or maybe it's just that the plates that the restaurant uses are too big LOL.

Oh we also ordered Fried Wantan and mom said that it was yummy and I do agree but I would like to suggest the restaurant to come up with a special sauce/gravy to eat with the fried wantan as I remembered we were only provided mayonaise. It would be a good if the restaurant can take this as consideration.

Overall, it was a good dining experience as the workers are friendly especially this one female waitress who has good attitude while serving us ^^

Chempaka Restaurant

2009-12-24T09:16:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile since my last visit to Chempaka Restaurant. And all of sudden, Hubby suggested to visit it last night.
The restaurant was quite occupied and we waited quite awhile for our food to come but it was worth the wait.
We entered the restaurant with hunger but left with full satisfaction (our tummies were gonna exploded!).
Guess we shall never order that much for 2 persons haha
However, we didn't manage to take any pictures last night cause I forgot to bring my camera and Hubby was really hungry after whole day work. So, to pity him I decided not to take the food pics although I had N95 with me.
Not to let my fellow readers upset, I'm sharing the old pictures which I took during my previous visit to the restaurant and have not been shared on this blog yet.
Enjoy the foodies pics people! Hope you guys would have a great Christmas eve!

To all my readers,

Happy Winter Solstice Festival/冬至快乐!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Dropped by NBT showroom for photography session after shopping with Hubby for CNY clothes (early preparation is always good and it's sales period!
It was sooooooooo crowded even though it was already 10.30pm!
But maybe due to it's school holidays and these children just didn't feel like to sleep earlier (so naughty, Santa Claus doesn't wanna fulfill your wish list then you know~ haha)

NBT even 'zhng' the Lexus signage to match the festival spirit

Everyone, say "Hello!". You're featured on Food-Hungry =)

Cafe de Paris, Gadong

2009-12-21T19:00:00.000+08:00

Cafe de Paris is known as one of the popular restaurants for lim teh especially to night owls as it opens til late night.
It is one of the restaurants where dim sum is still available even though it's already late.
We always love to order their fried carrot cake. Although the serving portions do vary some times but it's still tasty as usual.
Cafe de Paris also serves wide varieties of rice dishes as well as noodles but due to that we always visit Cafe de Paris after we had our dinner somewhere else so we never ordered their rice dishes.
Hopefully I can have a chance to visit the restaurant to try out their rice dishes soon ^^
