Supplies from SimonLover

Image
Fellow underwear hoarder, and partner-in-crime, SimonLover assisted me in adding more stuff to my burgeoning collection. The glittering jockstrap was actually gifted to me. Perhaps he is impressing on me that I should start a gogo boy side gig. Whatever the case, I love how it looks in the light.  I tumpang -ed his order from GX3 to get this pair of sheer black bikini swimwear. His Royal Skankiness got a pair in white. Although its sheer when wet, the dark colour makes it more 'family-friendly'? Wonder if I'll ever use it in a public pool.  

Rear End of 2022

Image
Before 2022 ended, KH insisted that we have a BFF gathering. Managed to round up Janvier, The Chief, Jaded Jeremy, Bunny, SimonLover, and ForIHaveSinned to join. Our dinner location was at Seppia & Polpo at Starling Mall. Having happened nearly a year ago, I really forgot my opinion about the food. And I forgot to leave a Google Maps review. In addition to wrapping up the year, it was an impromptu birthday celebration for ForIHaveSinned. Although he is my senior, his plump and perky ass puts many young boys to shame. Coincidentally, we bumped into TummyFull at the mall, as he was hosting some 'interest group' friends from out of town. The heavy rain outside limited our choices for dessert to the cafe inside Book Excess. Hang in there, I should be blogging about 2023 before 2024 arrives!

Ajak-Ajak Ashton

Image
Being the local foodies, the responsibility to keep Ashton well-fed fell onto KH and I. Sharky and his boyfriend also joined us to share the calories. We ventured to Klang to have BKT at Teluk Pulai on a rainy Deepavali morning. Once again, we failed to get a glimpse of the hunky son who chops the meat. With a food quorom of six, we could order the wet and dry varieties, and an extra serving of intestines and stomach. Naturally, we raided the Klang Food Centre pau shop after our meal.  There was no time for Ashton to digest his food as we immediately dragged him to Chong Kok Kopitiam for some old school coffee and toast. Although it has heritage status, frankly I'm not impressed with the place. As long as Ashton was satisfied with the Telur Goyang that he ordered. No kaya for him as his Taiwanese tongue doesn't fancy anything coconut-based. Kenji and Ashton rushed off to do some gadget shopping, but KH and I stayed a bit longer in the old part of town. Wandered into Laman

Darling Deeps

Image
Being a cradle catholic, Cutiepie doesn't really celebrate Deepavali. For fun, she invited us over to her house for a Deepavali eve dinner party. Actually she expected us to dress up in ethnic wear, but I missed her cue. My bad. When we arrived at her place in Semenyih, she welcomed us in a resplendent black Punjabi suit, all decked out in jewellery. Fitting the theme of the Festival of Lights, the porch was decorated with oil lamps. Decked out on the dining table was her daughter's favourite vomit beans, prawns cooked in coconut cream, and stir-fried asparagus. The pets were also part of the festivities. Right after our meal, we headed out to play fireworks with the kids. Cutiepie's hubby exploded after he saw one of the sparklers get too close to the cars on the kerb, so we went to main jauh-jauh . Did our best to exhaust the supply of fireworks, and then headed back in for some apple strudel that KH bought from Klang!  

Selamat Datang, Ashton

Image
Kenji's hubby, Ashton flew all the way to Kuala Lumpur from Vancouver for a conjugal visit. :P. On the day of his arrival ( luckily he didn't seem too jet-lagged ), we had dinner with him at Grub by Ah Hong . Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington was all over social media at the time, so I guess that also inspired Kenji to pre-order Grub Hong's Beef Wellington that costs over RM400! Expensive, right? But still cheaper than Grodon Ramsay's. Chowed down lots and lots of beef that night, but I'm not really a fan. Stay tuned for how we stuff Ashton with Malaysian food in the coming posts. P.S.: Before dinner, KH actually dragged me out to WFH from Terrasse , a hidden cafe-resto located above Salon Uniseks Carnation. Our tea time was duck confit! XD  

Bomakase42

Image
The festivities for my birthday came to a close with an omakase dinner organized by SK. Red was the theme for the night, so I turned up in my Christmas pants.  Hisho is located in one of the deadest malls in town, DC Mall. Apollo knows the owners of the restaurant, so there was some special treatment. Frankly, it was one of the biggest omakase meals I had ever envountered. The first course was like a personal "Five Happiness" platter, and I was already half full after that. Portions were large, but truth be told, didn't taste very premium. Most importantly everyone had a great time. Until B43.  P.S.: The pastries in the first photo was from The Bread Shop . Made a stop there before dinner because we got out of the house pretty early.

Tourist Trap

Image
Whenever friends come visiting, I'm usually stumped as to where to bring them. In the end, it's always Jalan Alor. Such a lack of imagination I must admit, but it was a walk down memory lane for Nic and POD who were visiting from Singapore. In 2010, they stayed at the seedy Federal Hotel with its bad springs and busy hallways. Fast forward a dozen years later, this 'old married couple' was holed up at the JW Marriot. Definitely rounder and greyer. Haha. Jalan Alor had somehow evolved to a very touristy area with Sala Daeng vibes. Pretty shocked. Braved the crowds and gauntlet of of menus shoved into our faces to reach the restaurant at the far end of the road.  Great to catch up with them at Restoran W.A.W.  over the perennial favourites of grilled chicken wings, satay,  and roast pork noodles. Bunny ordered their ham choi soup and it was surprisingly good. Business was so good that after eating, it felt impossible to get the bill paid. Continued on at  Coffee Academi

Wedding-Funeral-Birthday

Image
The old man with the cute corgi whom I visited a month earlier passed away peacefully at his home. Mum and I attended the funeral mass. When we arrived at church on Saturday morning, a pair of newly-weds had just finished their wedding mass. Before they cleared off completely, the casket was already being pushed into the church. Life and death, side by side. Mum followed the family members to Xiao En Memorial Park for the cremation, but I didn't join. Lunch boxes were compliments of the earlier wedding since there were lots of leftovers.   Joined KH to meet his boi boi friend at  Hide and Seek Coffee . The cafe is unmarked, and you need to be buzzed in. Pretty much an art space with coffee and cake. Neither do they have a proper menu, nor a cash register. The boi boi had just finished his internship and was job hunting. A regular at Chin Woo swimming pool, he has a lot of interesting locker room stories.  JJ invited us to to Bunny's birthday dinner, but we had a couple of hour

KenjiInKL: Washing the Dust

Image
After years and years abroad in Canada, Kenji has finally relocated back to Malaysia. The usual scenario-- to help out in the family business. Long before his return, we had already been discussing what Malaysian food he would like to gorge on. Picked him up ( still not braving the Malaysian traffic ) from his new place in Shah Alam, and brought him to dinner at T.J.K. Little Wok . Not exactly a famous place, but KH chose it because of the proximity, and variety. Kenji looked well, but he wasn't exactly thrilled about his homecoming. Hopefully he would get a hang of things soon enough.  No makan-makan session would be complete without dessert. Deliberated with Sharky and found that Subang was the closest option.  Soypresso piqued Kenji's interest because he has a weakness for those taro and yam balls. Why stop at one dessert place, right? Before calling it a night, we went to Roji Monster Ice Cream . They seem to put googly eyes on everything, but imagine my disappointment wh

Jamuan Hari JJ

Image
April breezed by with Palm Sunday and the Easter Triduum. Soon enough it was Jaded Jeremy's birthday. Once again, he arranged an intimate dinner for five at Kinpachi , Subang Jaya. As recent tradition dictated, there was  hanpen  on the table, which is a fluffy fish cake. The grilled mochi wrapper with bacon was delicious too. KH SimonLover surprised JJ with a 12" dick apple strudel from Klang. His sweet tooth was satisfied! Having desserts at Huang Soy Bar is also an unwritten rule. It was painful to see the way SimonLover ate his taufufah-- complete destruction! SimonLover passed me a package from Robbie , a fellow undergear enthusiast from Melbourne. The package contained a red lace brief from Nene and a white thong from CIN2. Both were amazing additions to my collection. Thanks!

Birthday High

Image
For her birthday, SK requested for a trip to Genting. KH was the designated driver, and Lifebook joined us as well. Our first stop was Genting Premium Outlets. Business wasn't half bad as the crowds had started to return. It was a productive visit for SK ( no surprises here ), Lifebook ( no surprises here either ), and mum. The birthday girl settled her own birthday lunch. She made reservations at Sempah T-Farm , a private dining restaurant operating out of a farm located in the hills. The path up to the farm was lined with ginger plants, all sorts of creepers, and even waddling ducks. At the end of the path was al fresco dining area, with chickens running about, and dogs napping on the cool cement floor. And it was no surprise that there were photography spots to to take advantage of the rustic scenes.     The food came in courses, making use of fresh ingredients from the farm. The chicken soup and the prawn dish were my favourites. Some hits and misses, but overall, we would have

Fifth Roar: Tyre-d of BKT?

Image
KH did all the necessary checking and found a BKT place in Klang that was open on the fifth day of CNY-- Restoran Weng Heong , one of approved entries in Gratitude's list. He treated us to a big, meaty breakfast, a mix of soup and dry BKT. Klang Food Centre was also open, so we also left with bags of pau . With nothing else better to do, we went to Central i-City for coffee. Thought Chong Kok would be open, but it wasn't. The Loaf came to our rescue instead. The shopping scene there was also pretty lame, but the CNY decorations of choice was really quite unique, incorporating very stylized illustrations by Phannapast Taychamaythakool, a Thai artist.  Walked into Nale for a fried nasi lemak lunch and was later greeted to a familiar face-- Namewee . Turns out he was there with the case the cast of Nasi Lemak 1.0 which ironically is the sequel to Nasi Lemak 2.0. Since we had nothing better to do, we stayed on for the promotional junket at the center court. From our observatio

Revisit Short Shorts

Image
Remember my post on short shorts ? SimonLover recently read it and he quipped that my readers wouldn't understand unless I post a photo. Well, he gave me the the green light, so here's the photo I took for them at Cafe Tujoh . Guess who is who. And who wore it the best? We have Alanic, SimonLover, and ForIHaveSinned here. Leave your votes in the comments section. L. Semi-sheer Asos shorts ( from the back you can see his jockstrap bands if you look hard enough ). M. Tailored shorts from Bangkok. R. Asos shorts with drawstring. Hope y'all enjoyed the bare thighs!

Pre-CNY Short Shorts

With just a few days to go before the Lunar Chinese New Year, SimonLover organized a little get together with ForIHaveSinned, TummyFull, Alanic, Khatijah, KH, and I. He suggested Awesome Canteen at Taman Paramount. Interesting stuff on the menu, e.g. Tomato Brown Rice Saikoro Steak, and Suzuki Curry Risotto. The Yu Sheng was good too, to my surprise. Well-executed and refreshing. Khatijah ditched us right after dinner, and we went looking for a suitable place for coffee. Much disappointment later, we ended up at Tujoh . The six of us took the long table after they shoo-ed us away from the 'TV Courtyard' area. The moment we got settled down, we heard a loud "Bang"! At the end of the table was a laser printer, and a Microsoft Surface that was on it committed suicide. The staff just came over without saying anything and started banging things on the table. Well, excuse us!  < TIGHT SHORTS + BARE THIGHS > Much of the night's conversation revolved around 14"

Tater in Town: Reunion

Image
Tater was back in town, so KH and I headed out to the city center to welcome him. We worked from Wu Di Cafe  while waiting for our Singaporean VIP to arrive. While waiting for dinner time, we did some catching up over coffee. On our way out, we noticed a bunting advertizing a local BL web series called "Wu Di In Love" . If you haven't guessed, the series revolves around the cafe, and I've seen the MC ( guy with the strong eyebrows and jawlines ) hanging out at the cafe. Perhaps he's the owner.  Dinner reservations was at  8Haus Cafe . Been wanting to try the food there since the last visit to the area. Chose two varieties of roulade and some truffle pork. Then it was time for some booze at Sin Chew Kee Cold Drinks Store . Definitely worth toasting to our log awaited reunion. Hope to see more of him in KL when his regular schedule is confirmed.   P.S.: Tater gave us belated Christmas gifts. Super skimpy and sexy. Which do you think would suit me, and which would

Rice, O Rice

Image
Cutiepie and I have celebrated each other's birthdays since our undergraduate days in University Malaya. 2022 is no different, except that there're kids in tow now. I kind of made a mistake of choosing Hoya as the dinner venue. Her kids were shocked by the Korean cuisine!  To normalize the meal for them, we ordered some ramyun ( but it was all spicy ), and rice. One would think that it's easy to get rice, but not at Hoya. Took five requests for the rice to come. The poor kids were starving because the grilled meat and banchan looked so alien to them. The whole dinner felt like a mess. Next year I'll book a table at a nice Chinese restaurant. :D. The kids were still hungry, and the adults were thirsty, so we went to the nearby Uncle Don's . The kids were happy with their soda and French fries ( but truth be told, I don't know how they can screw this up ), while the adults got their cocktails. Blessed birthday to my Sahabat Skandal!

Forty One

Image
It's that time of the year again-- my birthday. My birthday celebrations are often simple, and my forty first birthday was no different. A simple lunch at home with family and friends. Crabs are high on my craving list, so KH got me a nice serving of the crustaceans from Crab Generation . Other than that, he also packed roast duck from his favourite food truck in Taman Desa. Gratitude came all the way from Klang, and came with something sweet-- a foot-long mango strudel from Strudel Bakery House . Drew also came with vegetarian food. SK was in charge of the cake, and the custom cake she ordered from Lynn Can Bake was jaw-dropping. The rose-lychee liquor watermelon cake "was brought to you by the letter W!".  Quite a challenge fitting that monster of a cake in the refrigerator. Once we had lunch, the cake was cut, and I made a round of drip coffee for everyone. From the dining table, we spilled over to the living room for a chit-chat session long into late afternoon. Than

No Rest For The Wicked

Image
Transitioning from one job to the next, I would have really preferred to take a break before a new start. Unfortunately, that was not to be. My new employer was in a hurry to get me onboarded. Definitely could have used some time to detox to better absorb the fresh environment, and new challenges. Over the weekend, I received a pretty Nyonya kuih gift box from my ex-colleague, and had a nice early birthday dinner with Gratitude at Restoran KK Ocean Point in Kota Kemuning. The next morning, I clocked into my new job!

Give Me Bak My Social Life

Image
With the pandemic and multiple MCOs, my social life has really dehydrated to a pitiful state. Really miss meeting up with friends over coffee and cake, or having a grand 'ol time at my favourite Japanese restaurant. And lets not forget about the private parties at Maison SK 2.0! Sad times. Be that as it may, there are still ways to close the gap. For example, the whole claustrophobic situation did not stop Apollo's mum from making several batches of her signature chicken dumplings ( bak zhang ), and sending them out to friends to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival! Lalamove to the rescue. When I received the package, the food was still hot! So touched, and I really missed her cooking. Speaking of dumplings, this year we saw the advent of the vacuum-packed variety. Lasts a couple of months at room temperature. Perfect for e-commerce in these trying times. 

Jemputan Hari JJ

Image
JJ sent a shout-out in our BFF What's App to check who could make it for a night out to celebrate his birthday. Gone are the days of organizing large gatherings that require a few hundred e-mails or messages just to decide on a venue. With age comes a no-nonsense approach to most things.  "Kimpachi. 2 May. 6:30 PM. Who can make it?" Dinner reservations were made for six ( birthday boy, Bunny, AzzuroHyperion, SimonLover, KH, and myself ). Just nice for a private room. A small, and intimate group, the way JJ likes it. Easier to talk. Been a long time since the name AzzuroHyperion appeared in my blog. Maybe it was easier to catch him with gyms closed. JJ treated us to hanpen , a light and spongy surimi product that I had never tried before. I liked it. Our second round continued downstairs, a new soy place called Huang Soy Bar . The market for specialty soy shops has grown of late. In the past, we got our soy drinks from a roadside stall providing ikat tepi take-away, or so
