Day Out, Night Out

Marketing did not happen last Saturday because mum went to her society's post-CNY function. Several DAP leaders were supposed to grace the event, but none of them turned up undoubtedly due to the CSL-LGE debate that was scheduled later that night. At about a quarter past eleven, SK picked me up and we went off to One Utama for lunch. We ate at Pu Tien with Lifebook, his niece and his old friend, H (a perfect example of awet muda). Lots of unconventional stuff on the menu. SK chose some favourites she had tasted in Singapore and some new items-- braised pork intestines (layers and layers of goodness), garlic chili cockles (not for me!), fried yam pillows (a nice aroma but the sauce was too sweet), sweet and sour century egss (done up like ku lou yuk), fried heng hua bihun (a signature dish), mee suah and fried tapioca noodles (my mouth was tired from chewing!). Overall the food was OK and not too expensive, but I kinda felt that it tasted better down south. After lunch, we went shopping hunting for shoes as Lifebook's niece's Crocs were spirited away. Looking around, she decided on Crocs again. Oh well. A safer choice. With that out of the way, we sat down at CBTL for coffee. H paid the bill and also threw in an espresso brownie and red velvet cake. Talked a lot about work during lunch and also about Lifebook's imminent promotion to General Manager. Hahahaha. Was my first time meeting H and it was also fun chatting to him although his thinking patterns can be quite ancient at times! :P. Most of the time, Lifebook's niece just kept quiet and absorbed our chatter.

Espresso Brownie

At about 4:00pm, we left for home. Mum was already home from her function and tapau-ed some food for us, so we had a tea time of steamed chicken and vegetables! A couple of hours later, mum left for dinner with her friends leaving SK and I to our own dinner plans. Tried to get hold of HornyBF and Briyani Blue Sky, but both of them gave us the cold shoulder. :'(. Our food only digested at seven plus, so we only left for Hyotan, Subang Jaya at that time. Pretty easy to find, just at the shops opposite SJMC. Several Japanese families were dining there and we were even served by the Japanese owner's pre-adolescent son-- typical Jap look, his eyes gave him away. Took a long time to browse the menu. Didn't really know what to order. The stuff was a bit different. Reviews described it as 'home style cooking'. In the end, we ordered a mixed plate of salmon sashimi (normal, belly and ikura, all so very sweet), Unagi Nama Harumaki (unagi rice paper roll, nice) and Aji Tsumire Nabe (a soup of vegetables and home made mackerel fishballs, yummy!). Went off to Empire Subang after that for some grocery shopping at Jaya Grocer. My first time there since the gas explosion at Serai. Looked just slightly different. Did some shopping at Tangs too. Seems that they carry different brands from the larger store in The Pavillion. Reached home at about 10:30pm and called it a night.

We were bz (*&^&%^$%# Thai Boys, ya'know! =) . The renovated Tangs Empire is a far cry from last time. Partly due to them not selling Private Structure anymore! Kheksei!

Not selling PS? Their counter in Parkson Pavillion so sunyi. Yes, I know, I am so insignificant compared to Thai boys.
