Shoooot... but 2 units?

Such a good deal, there are hard to come by 1, must buy MORE.
and husband & wife should b treated fairly. Each get it fair & square, no need to fight for it.

The CLUE:Guess what I bought?

SEAFOOD + Starbucks !

We kinda ask BoldBoss (yes... he will always be my BoldBoss even if he betrayed all of us & left us for $ingapore) to "chia" us, his super hardworking & ultra loyal kaki tangan which include SexyLips, SexyBumJanet & of coz me lar, since he will b goin away soooooon... sob sob

SexyLips picked us all up ~7 pm-ish & headed to 101 Premier Commercial Centre for Grilled FISH hehehehe... yup, I just had it yesterday hehehe... but I dun mind la... BoldBoss belanja bo

1st up was this clam... very special le... got toppings & lime juice in each individual shell... But veli kiam-siap le... he ordered 5 nia

But 5 BIG ASS CLAM, biggest that I evar saw! The finger there is just for you to judge how BIG the clam was. The clam taste great! I like it a lot. The meat's texture was perfect. BoldBoss wanted to ta pau the shell back.

2nd dish : Belacan Midin... same as yesterday. It's so good I dun mind eating it EVERYDAY :)

3rd dish : Grilled Sardine ~RM20 (SexyLips added that it's imported one). I was afraid it will taste fishy but fortunately it just TASTED GOOD! And taste even more awesome with the sambal they provide. It's really good the SAMBAL, asked for MORE!

4th dish : Steamed Fish Fillet ~RM20, clear soup with cabbage, white spongy thingy & tomato. Fell in lov with it. I JUST LUV the SOUP!

5th dish : Steamed Fish Tom Yam Style, ~RM40, slightly expensive due to the special fish heheheh. This one I was expecting it to be REALLY GOOD as the cook SELF PRAISED that it's "HO CHIAK". But... hmmm... the soup was just SOURISH & SPICY, doesn't taste like tom yam le... too sour that SexyBumJanet kena gastric by eating it le. Good news was there was brinjal & lady fingers in it, which I loved. The taste kinda grow on me... but I still liked the clear soup more.As it was still quite early after dinner, BoldBoss request for 2nd round... so we went to a place with this lighting... Tau mana kah?

Yup, STARBUCKS at Jln Song! I had Frapuccino as usual, Caramel Cream with Chocolate Chips tops with Whipped Cream... emmm... emmmm... emmm...
BoldBoss was crying sadly & telling us he REGRET leaving us & hav not even bought the ticket to $ingapore yet although he wanna leave in like 4 days time... hahahah... just kidding lar... but the part about not buying ticket is true, see subconsciously he's just not ready to leave us yet.

I was surprise so many people were there... on a weekday le... Seee..... Kuching where got hit by recession? For me, I only visit Starbucks to buy the packet ground coffee, started making my own Cappuccino at home to save money. This was my 1st trip to the upper floor...very tastefully decorated. The fake ceilings, the lighting, the color of the wall.... all very well co-ordinate.

Thanks boss for the AWESOME dinner! Come back soon & belanja us more yea. Have a save trip & good luck.

Borneo *something* Grilled FIsh

Heard from SexyLips that the grilled fish stall, called BORNEO **something**, near McD has moved to 101 Premier Commercial Centre, so off we went in search of this stall as many people has recommended it. It was easy to find, just look for the place that's crowded with people eating grilled or steamed fish hahahahah....

We got 2 dishes & 2 bowl of steam white rice, only 2 of us lor... cannot order much.

Sambal Belancan Midin... so fresh & crunchy, likey a lot...

Sambal Fish (o-pek or black-white fish), RM18. When he took it out from the freezer, I told him it was too big but that was smallest fish they had. Anyway, we managed to finish everything as it was GOOD.Grilled to perfection. THE SAMBAL WAS AWESOME!

What a satisfying dinner! Was so surprise was it only cost us RM21 for this awesome dinner. We will definitely be back for more!

Asian Recipe Cafe

Asian Recipe @ 101 Premier Commercial Centre, just next to PosLaju. The place is with air-con & decorate nicely. Warm ambiance... which currently is a hot trend in Kuching eatery where wooden furniture is used, wooden decorative is used as wall features & stuff...

Our drink, Ice Lemon Tea & 3 layer Tea. Can guess how much per cup??RM3.50 per cup le... for drinks such as ICE LEMON TEA!! So ridiculous la... man I did not notice they serve plain water @ 20cent or I would hav ordered that as the tea not nice at all. wa$ted.
WOW.... the TOM YAM SOUP RM8 was served in a HUGE BOWL... I was really surprised. There was prawn, fish, squid & tomato in the soup. Quite cheap le. But for me, the soup was too SOUR & not flavorful enuf. Can only giv a B-Pineapple Fried Rice RM5.50 was a disaster. Once I whiffed the curry powder from the rice I knew it was gonna be bad. As we shared this, I scoop half of it to my plate & saw that I left a trail of oil stains on hubby's plate. It tasted nothing like Pineapple Fried Rice. Disappointed.The last dish was this ASAM PRAWN RM16, as I was yearning for something sour, something spicy, something explosive. I was like, OH YES! they are making up for the disappointment of earlier 2 dishes by given us A PLATE FULL OF PRAWN! ~ 8 to 10 medium size prawn le.BUT it was SWEEEEEEEET. The sauce was STICKY & THICK. HOW CAN YOU CALL IT ASAM PRAWN when I DON TASTE ANYTHING LIKE ASAM AT ALL???!!! TASTE LIKE SUGAR NIA. U know how we always savor the sauce that wrap around the prawn & even lick it off... hahahh.... but here I was scrapping it away to that I can eat the meat without the sauce lor.Overall, the food was below my expectation. Sigh... and here I tot got somewhere new & cheaper to satisfy my Tom Yam craving. man... wish I'm rich where I can hopped on a plane & fly to Thailand for TOM YAM whenever I wan...

Boldboss finally G.O.N.E

When my BoldBoss announced that he was leaving us for good, I was in denial. I just could not believe it. I cannot accept it. How can he leave us??!! But after hearing him out, it's just NOT FAIR that we blame him for chasing after his DREAMS... but still... he went into the Infamous LIST.... Can you spot yourself, traitors????Since he was VELI FAMOUS in our department, there was not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 farewell dinner organized for him...

Monday: 1st dinner was with the group of PAEs (the LIFE BLOOD of Line Sustaining) who really loved him to bits, as BoldBoss really help them through thick & thin. I did not join them as I hav prior appointment & missed out on it.

Tuesday: 2nd was dinner at Mr. Ho's Fine Food at Crown Towers. A small group of us, so-called "old" people with our Director, who was once our Module Manager... We used the private room which was supposed to be smoke free but instead it was SMOKE-FULL as NO DOOR separating it from outside @##$%^^%@#$. Nevertheless, it was a nice dinner. I really enjoyed the food. And the plan to get our director DRUNK enuf to spilled some juicy gossip failed...

SexyLips was a real gentleman & bought a 1.5l of Sparkling Grape Juice for me as I do not drink wine. Yea, I'm lucky to hav him as my best bud. But as I was the only 1 drinking it, with some help from Wilron mama (who dare not drink much as the sugar contain was 40g per 500ml)... I almost die of SUGAR Poisoning lor...

Wednesday: The 3rd dinner was at Chia Heng Restaurant, behind Hock Lee Centre, fully paid by our Module Manager, Mr Kang JT. BoldBoss was his lifeline, his heart. I pray for JT to get a new heart transplant soon... here's BoldBoss trying hard to b cute!Thurday: The 4th was a dinner at Da-Om Korean BBQ Restaurant... YUM YUM YUM! A lot of 3 layer pork which I liked. It was again a small group of us "old" people with the EQP Section Manager, Mr. Lee MG, who belanja us. We bought a leather bag for BoldBoss as he's gonna need it in S'pore to carry a lot of tissue paper to wipe his tears missing us all in Kuching.

As a last momento from the office, I got almost every1 ( in our department) to write something for BoldBoss. Some were really funny. Some were begging to tag along. Some were angry. Some were threatening him, but MOSTLY we told him NOT TO FORGET US and what a GREAT BOSS he has been & will surely be missed!

Now that you are not here anymore at your table... I really miss you! I dun hav any1 to bug. I dun hav any1 to turn to when I need to troubleshoot some problem. No ears to listen to those ridiculous question. I dun hav a boss to bully. How am I gonna survived this?

Deviled Eggs Recipe

omg... i totally forgot that I promised some1 to post up the recipe for Deviled Eggs since CHINESE NEW YEAR haahahahahah....


The Deviled Eggs are simple to make & always the 1st to disappear. What follows is a basic recipe that I found from uncle Google.

I don't have a lot of stuff as listed in the ingredients so I substitute a lot of stuff & make my own version of Deviled Eggs hehehhe... it's up to your imagination...

Method

1 First hard boil the eggs. Cover the eggs with at least an inch of water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil. Cover, and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 12-15 minutes. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over the eggs. (At this point if you crack the egg shells while the eggs are cooling, it will make it easier to peel the shells.)

2 Peel the eggs. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half, lengthwise ooo. Gently remove the yolk halves and place in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.

3 Using a fork, mash up the yolks and add mustard, mayonnaise, onion, Tabasco, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Spoon egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika. Makes 2 dozen deviled eggs.

If you like celery, chopped them into small pieces & mixed in together with the yolk.... As I don hav Tabasco, I substitute it with Maggi Curry noodle soup mix hhahahahah... it was AWESOME!

If you want them to be a little prettier, put the egg filling into a freezer bag, make a cut off of one corner of the bag, and pipe them into the egg white halves.

Try it for your next party!

Taiwan Sausages

Saw these frozen Taiwan Sausages at the cold storage next to Unaco @ Stutong.

Korean Products!

I read from some blog that there was MOUNTAIN DEW (MD) at 100 yen shop and I was there the next morning but I was too LATE! NO more STOCK! How can like that?? Now I MISS it so much more... the last MD I had was in Australia 4 years back. I wonder why no supermarket selling MD here in Kuching??

God must hav heard my prayer as I found MD at this newly opened shop at 101 Premier CC, called Korean Products, managed by Koreans lar. Selling cookies, to curry to toothpaste. All the products description is in Korean so a bit frustrating lar.

ah... miss u so much, MD!It was steal too at RM2 (250ml)... as it was selling for RM4.90 (500ml) at 100 Yen ShopLife is good!
