CNY II: Happy Neo Year
Since mum, sis and I made a trip to Teluk Intan in January, mum decided that we would be spending CNY in Kuala Lumpur. Staying put. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! So what did we do on the second day of CNY?~~ do what all KL-ites do, watch inane CNY movies. SK treated us to "Homecoming" at IOI Mall (there was some Malaysia Book of Records longest tassel at 18.28m there... stooooopid). In my book, the movie wasn't that funny at all. It did have some emotional moments, but not quite intense enough. Overall it was entertaining enough for a lazy CNY afternoon, even if one has to put up with Ah Niu, Jack Neo in drag and the ever 'likable' Afdlin Shauki. Lunch was at Penang Village. I like how they collage the wall with loads of sketches of pre-war buildings. Food, however was a disappointment and the service lethargic. Can you imagine that the waitress took her sweet time cleaning the table next to us when she knew that we just sat down? Giler. The asam laksa was mediocre and the cendol was atrocious. A miniscule amount of palm sugar and the cendol were frozen solid. Yuck. Bro did some shopping after that at Brands Outlet and F.O.S. Stocking up on graphic Ts again.
Sis had come back from Melaka, so mum cooked another reunion dinner that night. The main dish was pan-fried scallops with teriyaki sauce. Had a hard time trying to the caramel-coloured crust right on the scallops. :S. More than a week away from my place turned little Cyan into a veritable monster. He did not want to set foot in my house. Goodness. Cried and cried and cried. Throwed tantrum after tantrum. Took some time before he settled down le. What's CNY without some sparklers right? Sis bought a whole box for Cyan from the night market only to have him hide in the living room when its lit. Go figure. Later that night, bro poured out a bottle of table wine into a Horlicks jar (no glass jug, so sue me) to make some sangria. Poured in Bombay Saphhire and Alize Passion and some chopped up apples, oranges and mandarin oranges. A yummy affair!
