New ResTauRanT

as said, i'd wanted to try out this new restaurant in plaza sing - Nando's. and so, we went on wed.

apparently their main selling item is chicken meat. in fact, it's all about chicken. and after u've made ur selection on what kind of chicken style u want, u have to choose the spicy level as below..

both hubb and myself went for the hot. kekek.

and if it's still not hot enough, there are sauces for you to add on...

we both went for quarter chicken. get to choose 2 sides. mine was potatoe salad + fries.

his was potatoe skewer + fries

it's seriously quite spicy. u will like it if u like 'heavy flavor'. if u are someone who goes very light on flavour, i dont think this restaurant is for u.

hubb likes the meat, but not the sauces as he thinks that the tastes are weird. for me, i think it's quite okay.. but.. i dont think i will want to visit again. too much of the spices taste and a little on the saltish side.

 our quarter chix + 2 sides is about $11.90 each.

*****

i was away from work on mon, tues and today. as mentioned, away from work here is a very stressful thing because when u are back at work, u have to clear the backlog (cuz no one will cover 100% for u) and handle new stuff all at the same time. so, as far as poss, i will avoid being away from work.

as i always said to my colleagues and myself, the only way to survive here is to keep going.

but.. now is a situation where if i keep going, i will feel imbalance and suffer from the tons of workload. if im away, i still will suffer from the workload, but at least i'll feel more balance.

so if u were me, will u choose to go away?

to think about it, maybe i can understand y mr irritating always mia from work liao. thou i strongly disagree with his mia rates, but the stress and helplessness at work are really driving us mad. and to top it off, we have a super unsupportive LB. like that how?

haiiz.

in anycase, tmr will have to start fresh again. i've managed to shorten the longest working mth from 23days to 20days. enough rest, time to go back to the battlefield and put up a good fight.

what cant kill me will make me stronger.

and i believe positive energy will attract positive happenings.

like what was said in one of the hk series.. that protagonist cant wait for the situation to be at the darkest.. cuz when it's dark dark dark dark darkest, it can only be brightness after that.

i believe all will work out. brightness may not come that soon, but i believe it cant be dark forever.

yes, it cant be dark forever.

im truly disappointed with my LB

*SPEECHLESS & DISGUSTED*

CNY (ConTd)

Ok, i know these are out-dated.. but since pics taken liaoz, must post right... heee..

continuation of cny day 2. pics kouped from my cousin's blog..

cousin peijun and cousin gerald

********

cny celeb in office.. got lao yu sheng.. buffet.. and lucky draw...

~ HUAT AHHHHH ~

*****

cny lunch with team at zhou kitchen at china square

sorry, but dont u think this looks like rotten fish with worms?

and... toufu with algae....

and... they serve me my most hate-able luo han guo drink!!!!!!!!!!

???? preserved chicken??? rotten chicken???

all in all, except for the yu-sheng and the prawn dish and the ee-mian, all the rest of the dishes are quite bad. i dont remb zhou kitchen being soo bad.. probably it's only this outlet.. or maybe it's the cny period and they are way tooo bz to be concerned over the quality...

*****

sushi-tei @ raffles city with bnf gang on the very last day of cny. glad we made it in time!

******

and... the most creative alternative to lao yu sheng ... when u do not exactly have the traditional yu sheng.. is to....

lao salad!!!!

still huat ahhhh!!!!

all thanks to jo who recommended us this jap restaurant (rakuzen @ millenium walk) which does not serve yusheng when i specifically mentioned that we must lao yusheng! o well, something special and memorable anyway. :)

********

and then the last yusheng for the year.. was done after 15days of cny.. haha..

like last yr, it was this cc celebration where pa will sing... this year, he bought tics for the whole family to go.

im ready to send this pic for my dad to take part in the upcoming election... lol!!

WeDding In JB

this wkend was spent in JB with hubb and his family. purpose was to attend a wedding celeb on sunday afternoon.

we went in on sat..

bigg BB tea icon in city sq

had our very late lunch at the hk cafe in city sq. my order. spiral pasta with scallops. the pasta was not bad... but.....

have u seen scallops as small as these ???? real disappointment lah.

also tried out the drinks soaked in ice. apparantly, the idea is to keep the drink cool without having the ice melting and diluting the drink afterwards. i tot it's a rather interesting and innovative idea but hubb and his bro think it's rather dumb as it doesnt really keep the drink cool. o well.

after that we checked in to our hotel - zon regency. yep.. think this is the 3rd or 4th time we stayed in this hotel?

shopped around at the mall juz below the hotel. tried out the coin massage chairs. not too bad ohh. rm1 for 3mins. kekeke.

night time we went to a nearby seafood stall and ate seafood. kidda dark and juz like the zhi zhar in sg, so no pics.

and after dinner, was ktv session! real cheap! about rm10/head for 3hrs!!!!

we sang till one plus.. before retiring for the night..

and.. the next early morning... we checked out real early.. about 930..

they look super alike, dont they?

reason for waking and checking out soo early, was to eat at this super famous noodle stall. i din know it's famous until i realised, anyone whom u ask in JB, they will know this noodle brand.

in singapore, we have ah kun loti.. and in JB, they have ah koong fishball noodle!

eh.. actually.. it's juz noodle lorr.. nothing really that good... i think the stall at the hawker centre near my place is better eh? but the small side dishes like fried fish cakes and orh hiang are really not bad. very crispy. and.. they sell the best white coffee here! i've never quite drink any white coffee as good as this b4.

and next, we went to the restaurant where the banquet was held.

it's juz next to a shopping mall, so we went shopped at the mall first, since it was still early. the mall's big.. but sadly, i bought nothing at all! tried out a few pairs of shoes, but either dont have my size, or dont have new ones.. booo!!!

and then.. the wedding lunch. if im not wrong, it's norm for msians' wedding to be lunches and not dinners. and we are from the bride side. and know how is hubb related to the bride? he's her biao-uncle! meaning to say.. the bride is the grandchild of hubb's mum's elder sis. bit chim right? but in anycase, by seniority, hubb is more senior than the bride! stunned!

and... i realise msians really do marry early.

1st time i attended a wedding banquet in msia and it's really quite spectacular! dont believe? see....

really as if it's some concert right....

look at how big the stage is... juz like a school hall stage...

the flow of the wedding and the food more or less the same as in sg. banquet started late as usual and always.. then cake-cutting.. then food.. then wine toasting etc.. but instead of coming to each table to take pics, the couple and family and brothers came to each table to yum-seng instead. no pic taking for each table de.

i really like the food!! yummmy!! but there is no sharksfin.. :(

roast pig!

hubb with his fav roast pig....

lotus rice... fav... but i was really tooo full to eat more le....

and fav dessert of all time.. honey dew sago!!!!

as mentioned.. there's a mall nearby and this is it. abt half hr drive from custom.. somewhere new to explore besides city sq :)

whole banquet ended at about 4+ and we were back in town by abt 7. come to think abt it, wedding lunch also not bad right? it wont end soo late and the guests wont be so tired. most importantly, the price is way cheaper than dinners.. mmm.. can consider huh. hiak hiak.
