Mum's Day Out

Ditched the traditional wet market last Saturday and opted for NSK instead. Don't know if it was the start of the fasting month or what, but boy it was crowded! Trolleys were fighting for real estate on the aisles. Better to give way than to confront irate makciks at ground zero. Saw an interesting item on the shelves that day-- fish scale jelly! Yes, they used the leftovers from the fish counter, boiled it, added flavouring and froze it. Claimed to be high in collagen and no doubt high in yuckiness as well! Breakfast was Woo Pin fish head noodles. Totally yummy compared to the SS20 I had last week. Also ordered their yummy beancurd skin + barley + gingko nut drink. Wanna know why it tastes so good? They add in V-Soy. Haha. That also explains the MYR2 price tag.



Mum wanted to get her hair curled after my nephew Cyan complained about her limp hair. Kids these days. Was wondering which saloon we should send her to. My mum's a difficult customer to handle. Cold perms can be too drying for her hair. Digital perms are too mild and won't last. Balance is difficult to achieve. In end, we decided on A-Saloon at IOI Mall. Got a creative director to do the job at just an extra MYR10. A no-brainer. In the meantime, SK and I went off to do some chores. Completed the rounds at Magnum and Da ma Cai. After that, we had lunch at Restoran Kong Sai. It's uncanny that one can spend so much time with one's bestie that we actually think about the same place to eat without ever discussing it. Even KH can't do that with me. Revisited their delicious blanced free-range chicken with their signature Kwangsi sauce. Also ordered some vegetables and bowl of lotus root soup.



Having filled our tummy, we went to the Poslaju collection center nestled somewhere in the Puchong light industrial parks. Opened the package and found that AmeerZac had sent me a pair of striped undies from Folded & Hung and a packet of dried mangoes from the Phillipines. So nice of him. And I espcially liked the fact that he got me the underwear in size S! Such confidence in my waistline. Luckily I could fit into it. Haha. Went back to IOI Mall after that. Mum wasn't done yet so went merayau. As luck would have it, I bumped into Kenzon and his new BF whom I had never met. A tall and cute chap. Did some light shopping and eneded up sitting down to a latte at Little Pantry, a Full House rip-off where the waitresses dress up like Victorian maids. Preparations were being made for a kid's 1st birthday bash. His dad must have a thing for girls in maid uniforms. Checked-in via FourSquare and unlocked a slice of Petite Four cake. Was excited until the cake actually arrived... It looked like a piece of leftover. And it wasn't good at all. Free ma, what to expect right?









Three hours later, mum was done (she did a mani and a pedi as well!). The guy did a good job of giving her Datin hair! Thank God mum was happy with the results. Since mum had not ate, we went to Sakae Sushi. Managed to take advantage of their Citibank pink plate promotion. I think their quality has dropped. To be expected I guess. But at least the Thai waiter was cute. XD. Later that night, we had a BEC gathering at Seri Petaling. The fellowship went on late into the night with a selection of wonderful food and company. Taufu fa, mac and cheese, kuih-muih, curry chicken... Was thoroughly pooped by the time I got home. Pheww...
