100 Yen Shop

Right here in Kuching!!! Just next to Taka (or is that Mita??) Bakery... aiya... opposite Green Gallery at BDC I still remember fondly how we loved this shop when we were in Japan...hahahha... the only place where we can afford to buy anything. God, everywhere else was so expensive.

I got this Soba Noodle DishAnd 2 tea cups...

Each item cost RM4.90 in the 100 yen shop, they proudly advertise that everything in the shop is imported from Japan, which I truly doubt.Currently, people in the shop are more than the items on sale heheheheh

Nothing compelling to say

Have not been updating regularly, bein bz the main reason & the lazy bug is not helping much...
I lead a boring life (what life??) of just eat, sleep, work & repeating those cycle everyday. Nothing compelling to say, really.

I wanna re-pot my cactus as some of them is out growing the pot. Told hubby this & he brought me to those pottery shops along 4th mile (??). I went shopping for new pots & also cactus soil (that was triple the price of normal soil). Dear cactus plant readers, can I just use the normal soil as it's cheaper??? Or can I mix to reduce the $$ spent?

Shopped at Cold Storage as it was nearer to home. I have not been to Ta Kiong for 3 weeks (gasp!)... god I miss shopping for junk food. My work has taken up so much of my time I can cry.These were on SALE at 99cents per can (NP RM2.99) so I grab 4 flavors... Root Beer was nice. Did not buy much as the price here are so much more expensive than Ta Kiong.

Our main purpose to the supermarket was to get this, CARAMEL Syrup RM12.99!!! Few weeks ago I again forgot about my stand on NOT BUYING LOW FAT stuff & got the Low Fat Popcorn that was so tasteless it was like eating paper. So I'm hoping the caramel will save those popcorn from goin into the rubbish bin. And it can hahhaha!

Went to the upper floor of Cold Storage & found this empty shop lot with a settee & a wall of magazine collages... very creative! A good idea on how to update my living room.Still had some time before I need to get back to work (sienz) so we hang out at Bing Coffee! I got to read free newspaper :)

Caramel Espresso with whipped cream, RM12.50, but with 10% discount using the Membership card it was only RM11.25. SWeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEET!

A new place for CHICKEN RICE called the Yum Yum KL Chicken Rice, located behind Unaco Supermarket at Stutong area, as recommended by Snoopy & TallGuy. Only steamed chicken was served, the kind that I like heehehehe... The rice is fragrant & the soup was nice. But I still prefer Hainan Street at BDC as the meat is OILIER & more juicy but it's more expensive lar.Guess this place!! Where we had a lousy donkey ass dinner of Fried Kueh Tiau... that cost RM4.50 per plate!!!

that's all...

Craving for TOM YAM!

Have been craving for TOM YAM since last week... so off we went to Pandan Thai Delight at BDC area.As usual, I ordered the Fried Pineapple Rice RM10. The portion are quite big so both of us shared this.

I miss the Pandan Chicken too, RM 10 for 3 pieces... yummy yum yum but I still prefer Lok Thian's And for the highlight of the night, my Tom Yam Kung Soup RM18 & Beef Green Curry RM18. The PRAWN in the soup was so fresh & succulent... The green curry was a disappointment though, as the Chicken Green Curry was da bomb the last timeMy dessert, Yam with Sago in Coconut Milk Rm3.50, I forgot what hubby got hahah...

Total damage to the wallet...So guys, got any other suggestion on where to satisfy my TOM YAM Craving??? Would like to try out new place.

Let it SNOW!

My brother with his daughter Stella! So garang her face hahahhaha

I wanna play with snow too... huhuhu :(

See the beaming Stella... so happy!ah.... I MISS YOU ALL! I wanna go Australia!

My Wish Came True

I forgot to blog about this gift that I receive on the day of Calvin & Emmelina's photoshoot... the ribbon a bit out of shape bcoz I retied it to take a photo of it.

I came across these cute little bunnies some weeks ago at M's blog but I was too late in getting them as they all were already booked by others. They are soooo cuuuuuute! Thanks M!

Miracle of LOVE

Took half day off to tag along with hubby for another Actual Wedding Day Photoshoot. I wanted to take the whole day off to tag along but WORK does not allow it so no choice but returned to work right after lunch. My fav pic of the day!

The wedding reception was held last Saturday night and this is my favorite pic of the night.


It was a loooooong day with me getting off work only at 9pm *sulk*. Cheered me up a bit after getting a bite at Nyap Kiang, Kenyalang Market. My top choice for fried tomato kueh tiau & fried kueh tiau with clam... yum yummy yum
Then we went to Wrapped, at 4 points Sheraton Hotel to picked up some pastries. My mood got slightly better liau...
I wanted to get that HUGE Stawberry Tart but it cost RM55 *sigh* hmmm... i forgot to ask whether this got 50% discount or not?

In the end I got Chicken Mushroom Pie (left) & Coffee St Honore (right). Both at half price as it was after 9pm. So I only paid RM8.40 for these...

Look at the ridicoulous amount of cream...That's all folks... My legs & arms are aching...

Head over Feet

Guess where we were just now? Should be quite easy to guess lar hehehhe...
SHOE SHOPPING! Sadly it was not for me but hubby lor... as his shoe failed him last night
Even got individual shoe cover...Looks like any ordinary shoe kan?

But it's not, it's a TRANSFORMER SHOE! That can convert to a slip-in instantly. Don play play.It's a pair of Camel Weekend shoes...

Hubby: I hav save RM80!
Me: Huh?
Hubby: The shoe got 40% discount ba... means I save a lot of $$ lar!
Me: -__-"

Tonight Is The Night

Woke up at 4.30am **shock** because today hubby hav an assignment, an Actual Wedding Day Photoshoot, that included the Chinese Wedding Ceremony and Reception at The Banquet.

Hubby was at 1 point shoeless, as the shoe sole got partly detached. My brother send a pair of slippers to save him hehehehehhehe

Just a teaser...

Reached home ~10.30pm. phewwwww ... What a loooong day! But a fruitful one hahahha. Gonna post up the pichas ASAP but now I have to go get my beauty sleep as tomorrow is a WORKING Day **sienzzz**

Ling Loong Cafe

Dinner was at Ling Loong Cafe near King Centre, Simpang Tiga with hubby's Grandpa & Aunt. It was almost full house when we were there. This place is well known for it's fresh seafood and it's value for money. As hubby & I were there 1st, I ordered the food for that night, which consist of 5 dishes.The Belacan Midin was ok la, not spicy. Hubby ordered "Sweet Sour Pork Ribs", it was awesome & I really like that dish. And I wanted something spicy so I got the Sambal Prawn (i got tired of butter prawn oledi) which was yummylicious.

Dinner is not ocmplete without soup, Fish Lips in this case. Taste good! I like soup with vinegar.The last was this "Oo Chien" aka or Fried Oysters, so crispy it breaks into pieces once u poked it hehehehAlthough it was slightly hot while eating, the food made up for everything. Fresh, delicious food with a reasonable price.

Mooooooooore pancakes!

Pancakes!!! More! More! Moooooooooore!!!! That's why we bought more of the pancake mix at Ta Kiong Supermarket. Healthy choice summore, LOW FAT one. 97% fat free le...

Now I remember why I said to myself the last time NOT TO BUY LOW FAT STUFF... it's always a tad less tastier... really. The full fat Maple flavored one is so much nicer. Hershey Chocolate Syrup save the day.ah... whipped cream! I'm so in love with you!p/s: Tonight got a wedding reception photoshoot... will post up pichas soon so that I can get some feedback.

Ourdoot Casual Photoshoot

As Calvin will be leaving us soon for the "land of Oil", I arranged a photo shoot session for him & his lovely partner, Emm as a parting gift from hubby & I. It was a FUN session with tons of laughter. You can read about Calvin's and M's experience here. With Loi as the "Voice Activated Reflector/Diffuser Holder" my task was reduce significantly. I'm assigned to be "Voice Activate Lightstand" only.

Calvin & Emmelina was great during the photoshoot... willing to lie on the grass that was full of poo, doin those Bollywood poses & enjoying a sunbath while at it. I hope you are not disappointed with the photoshoot outcome

Please click here for more mushy photos of the couple. Any comments? Feedback will be appreciated.

p/s: dang! I had to WORK after the photoshoot ended!

Easiest Dish to prepare

I've falling in love with Pasta... just bcoz it's so easy to prepare...

Just chopped some onions & fried them until golden brown

Throw in mushroom... then the minced beef... goreng goreng until the meat change color then pour in as much of pasta sauce as u wan! Hubby don't like it to be diluted so I don add water, mayb just 2 spoonful to wash the sauce residue on the spoon.

Meantime, boiled some water. Throw in the spaghetti noodle, let it boiled for 8~10 minutes depending on portion. Drain the spaghetti, add some butter or olive oil so that the noodle don stick together.Place the noodle on the plate, then scoop the pasta sauce on top of the noodle...and ta- daaaaa.....

la cena era deliziosa!

Dim Sum at YAMISU Tea House

I was there last week but it was full house (new bah) so I came back on a weekday, as this place has receive mostly good reviews. It's a spanking new place for dim sum located behind Premier 101 Choice Premier Supermarket. I ordered 5 dishes. Siaw Long Pau (RM4.50) was soggy, Pai Kut (RM4.50) was bluek, the rest ok lar... dishes are price at RM4 to Rm4.50 slightly more expensive than the rest. The service was slow. The food was forgettable. RM3 for a cup of coffee le. Paid RM26 for a frustrating breakfast.Went to The Original Carwash (TOC) for car wash lar. I guessed the workers there mostly went back for Gawai Holidays, as we waited for quite sometime. Hubby lovin this chair

Then went to pay hubby's Insurance Premium at ING (opposite of TOC)... pok khai! But I still think owning an Insurance Policy is essential if we still can afford it. How about you?We had these yummylicious cake for tea break. Felt like Gawai liaw... heheh
I'm glad no calls from the office these 2 days... Worked on the 1st day of Gawai (Monday) and it SUX big time. But I just received a text meassage from my boss, will be working tomorrow #$#$%^&*&%^$#

Belacan Bee hoon

The good old Belacan Bee Hoon at Lumba Kuda (near old Jubilee Grounds). Just imagine the cuttle fish, bee hoon, belacan sauce -- yummmm, simply divine. I forgot how cheap the drinks like ABC & White Lady here are, compared to Boon Khai & taste as good, no even greater I dare say.

Pancake Galore

I was poison after reading about it from Loi's blog, then also on M's blog about pancake. It has been a looooong while since I had pancake. Miss it so much that I decided to make it too... but I'm NO expert like them lar... and hubby do not trust me in making the pancake mix, so I got all the ingredient from Ta Kiong...Bought Green's Pancake Shake (RM7.80) & Maple Syrup (RM6.95). To prepare the pancake mix, just fill the bottle with water and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE...

Just melt the butter & pour the batter into the pan & ta-da... PANCAKE with MAPLE SYRUP! It does not look too good but it sure smells goooooooood!

Hmm... will taste good with the Cadbury's Chocolate ice-cream

Hmmm.... might taste even greater with whipped cream too....and I was right!
