Dessert at Yen Ai

Choo and I shared the Hot Red Bean Soup. It was just nice for me, not too sweet.

Sophia loved the ‘ABC’. She finally found a shop in KK that passed her test for this dessert.

(Three days ago when AC came to the office with his colleague, he invited me for dinner tonight. But I declined his offer citing busyness as my excuse).

After our dessert time as I was leaving ‘Yen Ai’ ahead of Choo and Sophia, I thought I heard someone called out my name. But I ignored it but the person called out even louder. I had to turn around to see who was calling me.

I could not believe it when I saw AC sitting around a table with some other men. I wished the ground could swallow me up at that time.

I had to walk over and say hello. AC introduced me to his big boss and colleagues. Thank God he did not embarrass me in front of them.

Dinner at Bintulu Korean Restaurant

Choo Siow Chin arrived in KK from Tawau yesterday and she is staying at her friend's house in Tg. Aru.

Tonight Choo, Sophia and I went to Bintulu Korean Restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is situated directly opposite Nagasaki Japanese Restaurant at Lintas Plaza.

This was my first time to eat at this restaurant.

In order to get to where Choo and Sophia were sitting, I had to take off my shoes. Later I saw the Korean boss using a stick to pick up the shoes on the floor onto the shoes rack.

Choo and Sophia had already ordered before I arrived and they were waiting for me to dig into the following appetisers.

Just like in the past when I was in Down Under, I did not like to eat ‘Kim Chi’. My tastebud still has not changed. I still do not like to eat it. The rest of the appetisers tasted ok.

Korean Rice Cake

Seaweed Soup

Seaweed Soup

Sophia chose not to grill the pork on our table, otherwise our clothes and bodies would smell of cooking smell. The cook did it for us inside the kitchen. Though some of the pork slices were quite fat, I did not feel turn off when eating them.

The pork slices were marinated really well. The way of eating is exactly the same as the Cantonese version of ‘Sang Choy Bao’. Using a piece of lettuce, the pork slice is put in the middle with a dash of ‘Nam Yue’ as the sauce on top.

By the time we were through with dinner, the area where we sat was filled with customers.

Thank you Choo for dinner.

Sophia suggested we adjourned to ‘Yen Ai’ for dessert.

Where's the Darn Thing?

Wasted time looking for something that does not exist again.

Some people must be thinking I am so free. NOT

Lost and Found

I was mighty pleased I found a document I thought I had lost.

Thank you Lord.

Oatmeal

I started taking cereal drink instead of Milo for breakfast just over a fortnight ago. Maybe this will come as a shock to most of you from the amount of food I have eaten and posted in this blog the past two years or so.

Well, I have always loved to eat cereal and Just Right was my favourite cereal when I was in Down Under.

(copied from Kellogg's photos)

But eating cereal at work is a bit of a hassle cos I do not wanna put milk in the fridge.

Therefore I resort to cereal drink. But for the first week I did not really like the cereal drink I bought. I finished them though.

Based on recommendation from Sophia, then last week I started drinking this, adding only hot water and nothing else.

For most people this would be too tasteless and torturous to even think about, let alone to drink but I am totally fine with it. Having oatmeal is really an acquire taste. I know some people who told me they do not like to eat oats or have cereals cos they taste like cardboards. Ya, as if they tasted cardboards before.

And today I started drinking this.

Out of the two packets of oatmeals, I prefer the oatmeals in the blue packet cos there are more solids remaining after adding water. The red packet is too soluble for my liking.

!@#$%^&*

This is the first time I have used such a title in my blog. :(

I was boiling mad today cos I was blamed for something just cos I was being too nice. NO MORE FROM NOW ONWARDS YOU HEAR ME!

I had to ask God for forgiveness for my reaction and also for the people who accused me. After I prayed, I felt better.

The Darn Thing

My assistants were out during lunchtime and I had to get ready some reports for the client before he arrived. The photocopy machine was acting up on me. It wasted half the amount of papers used for the reports. *sigh*

Today's Happenings

Slept at 1.30a.m. Had nature call at 6.40a.m. After that went back to dreamland and slept until about 9a.m. Felt tired but had to get up to cook ‘Mi Goreng’ for brekky and get ready for Canaanland Celebration.

Two men became fathers for the second time ie. Kenny Lim whose wife Beatrice gave birth to another baby boy while Jeremiah Balaji’s wife who is in India gave birth to another baby girl. CL rejoiced with them.

Ivy Voon led P&W and played the guitar at the same time. Alice Hiew played the keyboard while Jordan Quek (I think) played the drums. Elder Fung was the facilitator. Rev. Lee spoke on ‘Towards Complete Unity’ which was the Lord’s prayer for the church before He was arrested, went on a trial, hung on a cross, buried and on the third day rose again.

The Lord’s anointing was once again very strong throughout especially during P&W and at the end when the whole congregation went out to the front to pray and intercede for our nation.

After CL, we chit-chatted for a while before deciding on the venue for lunch. The decision was Upperstar Damai. Sophia and I left the church first. I was pretty hungry by then. As I passed by Burger King at Damai Plaza, I saw Sophia’s car at the opposite lane. She was making some hand signals so I made a U-turn at the roundabout outside the post office and caught up with her. At the end I realised my mobile phone was still on silent mode and there was 5 missed calls. Lunch venue had been changed to The Hut, Fork and Spoon at CityMall.

I do not particularly like to go to this mall because there is always major traffic congestion going into this place and difficulty in finding parking bay. If I had known earlier, I would have given a raincheck.

This is the first time I dined in this restaurant.

These are photos of their specialties.

I ordered Spaghetti Bolognese. The beef did not smell which was good.

Sophia ordered Spaghetti with Mutton. Very tasty as well.

Sophia also had Chocolate Smoothie.

Shelley Chew always ordered Baked Crabs. She has been eating this for seventeen years.

Monica Leong had this bento.

While we were there, some people ordered this pie including Mr. Chew Chong Bin. So at the end Monica and I took away one each.

After lunch, I drove home and then went into Sophia's car. She, Monica and I were going to 1 Borneo to watch movie.

Sophia alighted me first before she went to find a parking bay so that I could go and buy our movie tickets. At first I thought the queue was so long but the long queue was for buying snacks and drinks. There were two persons queuing up to buy tickets in front of me.

We watched the comedy ‘Old Dogs’ starring John Travolta and Robin Williams. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I did not laugh so much for so long. I laughed more than when watching ‘The Confession of a Shopaholic’.

The movie lasted one and a half hours and we went to Daiso. I bought a piece of stationery ie. a mat for cutting works.

I could not find clips for my hair.

Sophia wanted to eat Hot Soba before going home. We went to Wagamama Japanese Restaurant. We had been sitting down for quite a while and still no one came to ask what drinks we wanted to have. In the end Sophia suggested we went to Fukurou Japanese Restaurant at Damai Point and so we left 1 Borneo.

We shared the sushi (Una Goma Maki).

Monica had the Eel Rice (Unagi Yaki Meshi) and Mushroom Soup (Shimeji Miso Shiru).

Sophia and I had the same thing ie. Tempura Udon.

When I arrived home, there was still a quarter piece of chicken pie left for me to savour. I still prefer those available in San Francisco Coffee. But the best would still be the one I had the pleasure of eating at Dr. Peter Ong’s house. His wife made the best I ever tasted in KK.

Dreams

Had the following weird dreams before I woke up …

1. Two days ago – Someone I hardly talked to ask me whether I wanna go to Malacca together.

2. This morning – One of my ex-colleagues was having Jap food with his friends. He saw me passing by and asked me whether I wanna treat him cos his friends did not pay for him. I was speechless. (Probably they were going dutch and he forgot to bring $)

3. This morning – Tracy took some photos in KK of Suria Sabah from up close (and looks better than any I have seen so far haha) & another building which I do not even recognize and she put up in her blog. She has not been here for quite some time.
