Taiwan Beef Noodles

Taiwan Beef Noodles , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Church as usual on Sunday and lunch was at Lai Lai Casual Dining at Kuchai Lama. Their signature dish is Taiwanese stewed beef noodles and it ain't cheap. Basic noodles cost MYR13.80. I added MYR2.00 for all tendon, and another MYR2.00 to add on a cup of bubble tea. Price aside, the noodles were OK. Same style of thick noodles. Portion wasn't big though, and the soup was tad too sweet for me. For an extra kick, you could add chili oil that comes with crunchy bits of shallots in it ( way too crunchy! Ada plastik kot? ). Mum ate the mixed mushrooms ramen. She liked it. Went to Endah Parade after that. A very quick stop at the silver shop and shampoo shop. Took less than fifteen minutes. A record for mum. When I tried to pay the ticket, I was presented with the error: "Invalid ticket". Enquired at the control centre. Moi: Bang, dapat invalid ticket la. Bang: (counting... counting) Sebenarnya tak payah bayar. Eh, y

Mother-Out-Law Morning

Incensed , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Saturday was a day of shopping. Woke up early for marketing and breakfast. Bumped into my MIL ( or my mother-out-law as Chan Beng Chin reminded me ) outside of DaMaCai. She always seemed surprised to see me. A very "WTF are you doing here?!" face. -_-. Cheered myself up with some retail therapy at The Gardens Mall. Mum had a field day at Isetan. Didn't have lunch until 2:00pm. Thought of having Taiwanese as I was a little overwhelmed with Japanese lately but the line was too long. Ended up at Kita No Zen @ Hokkaido Ichiba . Can't escape. LOL. Had a chirashidon set, ankimo ponzu ( fish liver in ponzu sauce ) and a salmon ozisushi ( had the aroma of perilea leaves ). Lotsa twinky waiters at that place. Huhu, but service was a bit sketchy. Only the captain was attentive. Ventured over to Midvalley Megamall after that cause mum wanted to shop at Ms. Read. Hate going there because of the crowds and bad air. Ugh. Wasn't i

Mediteca_2 Selected5 , swiped from cherylchanphotography on Flickr. Last Friday ( I'm pulling a William here, so it's actually God know last, last, last, last or last, last, last, last, last Friday ), KH FFK me for lunch and dinner, so he made it up by bringing me to Mediteca . SK was invited along, but she was a little late due to fantastic traffic conditions. Like the previous Fridays, I was dogged by production problems at work and had to take calls, but luckily it was settled while waiting for SK to arrive. The waiter, Morsey and his female counterpart immediately recognized my boyfriend and ushered him to the table. Business was OK that night. A bunch of middle-aged ladies of leisure were having their oestrogen party ( kalau belum menopause ). Definitely kaya-raya judging from the way that they were carrying themselves-- when camwhoring, when laughing. Kepalsuan yang teramat . When the camera's trained on them, their backbones snap straight and they bring their ches

Monster-sitting II: Mall Rats

Teriyaki Chicken Pasta with Hot Spring Egg , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. The kids were still with mum and I on Sunday, so they followed us to church. To avoid minimal fuss and disturbance to the mass, mum packed along several 'distractions' for the kids. We brought Milo, bread, cheese rings, toy cars and other stuff to keep them occupied. Still, it was a challenge to keep them still and quiet. In the future, the parish priest would surely push for sound-proof kiddy rooms. Sick of Paradigm Mall already, so for lunch I decided on Tropicana City Mall. Ate at Pasta Zanmai as the menu had rice, noodles and pizza that was agreeable for the kids. The teriyaki chicken pasta, hotate pizza and tomato seafood omu garlic rice. I settled the elder while mum fed the little monster. Both couldn't sit still during meal. Had to keep the 'dangerous' and fragile items from the baby. The hot teapot pun nak main . After the feeding frenzy, the whole booth was showered with

Monster-sitting I: Crabby Dinner

ChocoCake , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. In a bid to get more familiar with Malaysia's corporate taxation, my sister and BIL went for a weekend course on the subject. Goes without saying that mum and I had to do some monster-sitting that weekend. As early as 8:30am, my mum had gone over to my sister's place. On the other hand, I tried sleeping in a bit, but couldn't. Did some exercise routines and freshened up for breakfast with SK. Nothing special, just wantan noodles at my favourite neighbourhood shop. Tapau -ed a packet for mum as well. When I got to my sister's place, the kids were already up and about, tearing up the house. Told Little Monster that we were going out and his eyes immediately lit up. He drunkenly dashed to the shoe cabinet to get his shoes. Mum wanted to buy 4D and do some banking, while I had an overdue appointment with my hairstylist. The elder monster had his hair cut too although it was only a week since his last cut. During the whole time

Husband, Wife & Yakuza

Flower Crab , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. KH is a supporter of the erotic arts. He donated a sum of money earlier this year to KLPAC and to show their gratitude, they gave him a pair of complimentary tickets for "Rashomon". Since it was a matinee show on Sunday, I decided to attend the earlier mass to avoid too much rushing. Had the time to have breakfast at Woo Pin , Taman Desa. Been a few months since my last visit and I was 'pleasantly' surprised to find that the price had increased from MYR7.50 to MYR8.00! KNS. Anyway, mum and I shared a large bowl with added spinach and that came to MYR11. Even the gingko barley drink increased 10% to MYR2.20. Meh. Stopped a while at Central Hypermarket to stock up on honey vinegar and psyllium husk. Even had the time to shop for salmon steaks at Giant BK5. Since I had such a late breakfast, I just ate a mini glutinous rice cake that we had tapau -ed from yesterday's dinner. By the time I reached KH's condo, it wa
