What I've been up to:


Went shopping with Michelle and other people. Check out her hot hot dress which she didn't buy.



Shopped with Pinky. Why you cho cute pinksy.



Stalked Nikilesh who is now a bigshot boss.



Went to a party as a pussycat doll. Then made Jestina dress up in it too.



Ash dragged me out post-breakup to Rosevelt's gig at Laila's.


Ate frigging extreme cheesy pizza at Pizza Hut. 6 kinds of cheese. Read 6.



6 kindsa cheese on 1 pizza. With Pepperoni toppings!



Cheeeeeezus. Think the promo is still ongoing, you can try it out if you want. Pretty good value for money la.

That's Oct.

Looking forward to the rest of Nov and Dec and 2010. Good riddance!

Home Cooked Foods

Summary of my cooking that requires more than marinating and chucking it in an oven.

First up: Wantons!

Mish mash of the vegetable stuff.


Chop chop chop of chicken mince and bits of prawns

Mix everything together with seasonings and sesame oil, while waiting for the wanton skins to defrost

Start wrapping the wantons! It took a few tries before I got them right, too big and they split/won't cook evenly. too small and.. well.. too small for me!

Deep fry them and eat. I prefer to cook them in a chicken broth now though, deep frying uses too much oil.


I make herbal chicken soup too! After googling around, I decided to hunt for a claypot because using metal pots apparently compromise the herbal taste.

My old school claypot! The spout on the left is for pouring out the soup.

dried yam things. Rhizo-something-or-other

Dried red dates

Wolfberries. or Kuo Chi

My mom said to put the 'long white flake thing' -_- So I randomly took this off the shelf

Boil boil boil with the chicken

My aunt saw this picture and laughed. I forgot to take the skin off the chicken, resulting in all the fats leeching off into the soup -_-" trial and error!

And of course, when I wake up past noon and I just want to eat something quick....


Mama Shrimp Tom Yum

Awesome awesome stuff. Can always trust products of Thailand when it comes to Tom Yum. Especially love the noodle texture :D

I just tried this yesterday too:
Not much difference, except it's a bigger pack of noodles and creamier taste. MMMMMMM.

OMG Tak Tahan - Bagan Hailam

*EDIT*

OMG I just remembered one more thing to add.

Petaling Jaya - Yong Tau Foo. There's this place that serves awesome Yong Tau Foo and Fish Head Curry :D:D:D mmmmmmmm. It's near that food court near McDs in State! mmmm Fish Head Curryyyyyyy!

Lydia commented on my previous post, saying she would take me to another seafood restaurant, Bagan Hailam. Curious (and lacking things to do), I went to look at some reviews, see if they had any specialties I should keep an eye out for.

However, what I realised was that Bagan Hailam is an area, like Subang. So there are (I think) a few contenders, but no matter.

LYDIA KWAN WAI CHING! This is what we must eat!

1. Nestum Mantis Shrimp

2. Fried Glass Noodles/ Fried Bihun with tiny clams. Like the one we had in Teluk Gong!

3. Bamboo Lala! Lots of it! Hell, I'm going to tapau too. Heeeeee

4. Crab DUH! At least 2 types! Salted Egg Yolk and..hmmm.. Black Pepper? Sweet & Spicy? not overly fussed really :p

5. Butter Prawns! The ones with little crunchy shreds of erm.. is it fried butter? egg? No idea, but damn good :D

6. Steamed Fish. Garoupa or anything, I don't care as long as it's STEAMED! Fish in Australia is not my taste :(:( It's all grilled or fried. I miss a simple Chinese-style steamed pomfret with soy sauce.

7. If we go for vege, I vote for Kailan! I especially like the version of Kailan some restaurants serve with the leaves shredded and deep fried, so they're super crunchy and oily. Sounds dodgy but ooooohhhh yes.

*dies*

Makan!

List of Places to eat at & People to eat with.

1. Bak Kut Teh - Piggy Innards. In that shop by the roadside along Old Klang Road. With PY and Ash. We've always wanted to go eat at that place, but tak jadi for dinners :p

2. Sushi Zanmai - Mmm salmon sashimi and cold udon.. Gardens. With V

3. Lala Chong - CRAB. With the family. If not, a whole gang of whoevers.

4. LCS Mamak - Maggi Goreng! and the Indomee! With the college peeps. I wonder if the lady that sells the Indomee still remembers my usual order - Indomee satu, tak nak bawang goreng. HEE

5. A1 Taman Desa- Fish Head Noodles. Very popular branch of the Cheras Fish Head Noodles. Pretty costly at RM6.50 a bowl, RM8.00 for a big bowl, but totally worth the money. Yvonne, PY and Ash, we're gonna attack it! :D

6. Dim Sum - at this specific shop near PY's apartments. Totally forgot the name, but pretty popular, and they have huge siu mai's and har gao's! Bigger than a 50cent coin, and they have a whole prawn in the har gao *slurp* As usual, with my breakfast/brunch kakis; PY & Ash

7. Old Klang Road- Char Kuey Teow. The best CKT I ever had used to be in that Kuchai Entreprenurial Park, but it's gone already :( PY introduced me to the one along Old Klang Road which is cheap, and they put lots of see hum which I love, but taste doesn't compare. *sigh* Breakfast gang - awaaayyy!

8. Petaling Street - Sweet Potato Balls. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I went hunting for them with V before I left, but frightful weather and storms prevented me from exploring Chinatown :( I used to have them whenever I went to Chinatown; the deep fried sweet potato balls. Ahhh childhood nostalgia..

9. OUG - Pan mee. Staple weekend tapau when we're too busy to cook lunch. Heehee. I love it with the chilli, super spicy and mouth-watering. I think I'll bring the breakfast gang with me on this one, I don't think they've tried it before.

10. OUG - Curry mee. The best ever curry mee is in OUG, this green shop opposite BP with air conditioned rooms. I tapau-ed a lot when I had to handle my own lunch HEHEHEHE. Curry mai fun, ka see hum :)

11. Taman Desa - Jimmy's Cafe. Officially Cafe Libre, but affectionately called Jimmy's Cafe because co-manager Jimmy, who was my barista buddy back in MV, is the sole reason why we went to the cafe for the first time anyway. Popular for the Nasi Minyak and Lamb Curry. THE SHIZZ! Probably gonna meet the Starbucks Buddies there :)

12. Klang - Coconut Flower. Or whatever it's called! We went there for Lydia's 20th Birthday, and she said she'd take me to Klang again to eat seafood. YAAAAAYYYY

13. OUG - Pork Noodles! Actually I don't really care where I eat the pork noodles. As long as it's the soup version. :D

14. Tenji - BUFFET! I love love love Tenji. I love love love buffet. Cheaper than Jogoya, and it has the freeflow Haagen Daaz and Mochi and Coconuts :) MMMMMM!

15. OUG - Nasi Lemak. I usually get tapau from the Malay couple who run the Nasi Lemak stall in the morning market in OUG. It ends up being my Sunday brunch because they're quite generous with the sotong sambal/chicken curry, whichever one my mom decides to get me. However, when I'm eating Nasi Lemak anywhere else, I like to add the see hum sambal hehehehe. I would love love love to go back to SS15 where Queen Khoo introduced me to the Nasi Lemak stall outside that mamak bistro. MMMMM!

16. Brem Park - Prawn Mee. Ha mien with bihun! PY took me to the place near her apartments, which is this tiny roadside stall next to a playground and some shops. It was terrible looking for parking because it was a neighbourhood with sempit roads, but it was damn nice. So much better than the tapau-s I get :(

AGGHH!! Countdown begins!
