Home Made Fish Head Noodle @ Sunway Damansara

2010-02-02T21:34:00.004+08:00

Me, Eric and Pepsy met up again for dinner. This time, Pepsy suggested to go to the Home Made Fish Head Noodle since she has been there before. Since I am not really fancy for Fish Head Noodle, I have decided to go for the Pork Ribs with Rice while both Eric & Pepsy ordered the Fresh Water Prawns with Mee Hoon.

My New Prescription Eyewear O_O

2010-01-04T21:30:00.017+08:00

Had a change after 5 years with the current one. If not because of the color started to fade off (and most importantly, it is part of my current benefits entitlement), I wouldn't have gone for a new pair.

Tried many of the plastic model from all sorts of brand but none suits me well, simply because my nose bridge is too 'flat'. So I have decided to go for a metal frame (which is the same as all my previous frames).

White Water Rafting @ Kuala Kubu Baru, Kuala Selangor

2009-12-25T20:33:00.001+08:00

Went to Kuala Kubu Baru (Grade I - IV whitewater rapids) for water rafting last year. Paulina, Eric and myself are pretty excited and at the mean time, both Paulina and myself are very nervous about it - simply because both of us can't swim and we keep wondering what will happen if we were to be thrown out from the raft during the rafting sessions. It was a great experience for us. We completed the 3 hours rafting without any injuries and most importantly, we were not thrown out from the raft! ^o^

It was a half day trip with buffet lunch provided at the end of the rafting session. Before we start our journey, on-the-ground training was provided by the guides on the simple / basic instructions to follow during the rafting sessions. We were also briefed on what we should do if 'unpleasant moments' (fall from the raft etc) happened. This really make us MORE NERVOUS...

For details, please refer here.

The journey begins...

Each raft will cater 6 guests with one guide...

Too many rocks surrounding us...

Free time where we are allowed to swim freely with our life jacket...

Group photo with all the cheerful faces...

Waiting for our turn...

Enjoyable moments...

Relaxing moments...

The nervous moments begin...

Ooops... Someone fell from the raft!!

One of the 'long excited-cum-nervous journey'...

Ouch! Hit the rock...

Injuries do happen during rafting...

Yeah, mission completed!!

Venue : Kuala Kubu Baru, Kuala Selangor

Fees : RM180/pax (buffet lunch provided)

Timing: Half day trip

New Boston Restaurant @ Klang

2009-12-25T16:55:00.011+08:00

I have been to this place for few times and it is worth travel all the way to Klang for their seafood. They have quite a number of signature dishes ==> 'Sheung Tong' La La, Tapioca Noodle, Mantis Prawn et cetera.. The list is just too long to be listed down here... :-)

We were charged RM89.00 for all the below dishes we ordered.

Look for the above Signboard.

Located opposite KWSP, EON Bank and Kamdar. Same row as Wisma Lembaga Tabung Haji.

The crowds when me and Eric arrived there about 8pm.

A lot of tables (inside the restaurant, along side the walking way and even opposite of the restaurant) still waiting for their dishes to be served...

Some even standby with their newpapers while waiting for the foods. No joke!

Me and Eric waited for about half an hour to get a table and about an hour for our dishes to be served... But it was really a worth waiting for the quality of their foods!!

Signature Dish - 'Sheung Tong' La La (English - Clams in Supreme Soup).

Me and Eric have 2 rounds of this dish!! It was just superb delicious.

Signature Dish - Tapioca Noodle

You should not miss this dish when you are there. The texture of the noodle was really good!!

Fried Cabbage with Dried Prawns

The dried prawns was still very crunchy when it is served. Me and Eric like it very much...

Claypot Prawn

We never expected the prawns to be so 'big'. Eric was very satisfied with this dish since prawn is always HIS FAVORITE SEAFOOD AT ALL TIME! He finished 80% of it!

Mantis Prawn in Nestum Style

Oh!! This is my favorite favorite favorite dish and I finished about 80% of it!!

2009-12-19T22:11:00.003+08:00

Pepsy dropped by Seremban on 21 Nov 09 with the intention of attending her friend's church wedding reception. To my surprised, she has decided to take a rain check upon reaching Seremban Toll since none of her friends will be witnessing the reception. While waiting for the wedding dinner to start at 7pm, nothing much activities we can do except filling up our stomach - since both of us enjoy foods so much. :-)

We had our late lunch at The Manhattan Fish Market, Jusco Seremban 2. I personally LOVE this dining!

Sauces - love the garlic (bottom left) so much!

We go for 'Grilled Platter for One'. The portion is just nice for 2 of us.

What should I do to have more personal time?

2009-07-19T16:14:00.015+08:00

Me and BF visited Rajah Brooke Cafe for our lunch today.

Kensington @ Era Square, Seremban

2009-07-11T08:20:00.011+08:00

Me and BF patronised Kensington again after our last visit in 2007.

The quality of the food is still the same. More crowded and even more staff serving us this time round. This shown that their business has grown to a better one. Not only that, we also noticed that the pricing of their food is more affordable and comparable as Fireworkz. Both of us ordered chicken chop as our main dish and it cost RM10 each!! It is very reasonable.... Don't you think so?

A group having Birthday Party Dinner...

Starter - Mango Prawn Salad (RM18)

Kannichikan Yakiniku Restaurant @ Desa Sri Hartamas

2009-07-11T01:53:00.017+08:00

'This place located nearby Souled-Out'. This is the only direction that I can share with you and what Pepsy has told me :-). Anyhow we still managed to reach our (me, BF & Pepsy) destination on time for dinner.

It is a Korean BBQ and for BBQ lovers, truly recommended!! The food is MARVELOUS!! But take note, the price is on the high side, since mostly of the stuffs were imported items, but is WORTH IT! Would describe it as Quality Food. Their varieties - beef, lamb, scallop, squid, prawn et cetera..

All their dishes is perfectly marinated that you can even eat it without any dipping sauce. The meat was very tender and juicy even after the grilling session... Yummy !!

New Work Place...

2009-06-09T22:25:00.006+08:00

Already my 3rd week in the new office yet I am still familiarising with everything, especially my own role. As mentioned earlier, this is totally a new career path to me. Still learning and adapting to the environment, responsibilities, processes et cetera. While my colleagues were busy with all their approaching deadlines, I am busy reading the materials all the time besides attending various trainings and visiting the clients....since facebook-ing is not allowed in the office.. ^sob sob^ Luckily the access is still granted for online chatting and personal emails at the moment... :-)

Looking forward to perform my new role...
