:: Tao @ Sunway Giza ::

For some, after two years since graduation, this is the first meet up. To be frank, I didn't have enough time to put much effort in this gathering. Nevertheless, I thanks everyone that make it. Thanks for the memories and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did :)
*And so I guess, the next gathering wouldn't be any nearer. Sigh .. so hard to gather everyone out o*

Food review. After list down some options of places, activities and eateries, it surprises me that almost all of you had opt for Tao buffet. After all the good review from Tao @ Penang huh? With the price of RM58+, for feasting from 1130am-4pm, it's a good bargain, I suppose.
For me, compare this to Xenri , Xenri is better as the buffet is ready made, meaning you doesn't need to wait for the foods to be serve. But buffet based on order-type is good too, meaning it is freshly made. So .. win-win situation.

Compare to Rakuzen , both is all-you-can-eat-order-type-buffet, Tao is better. As for Rakuzen's, they took some time to prepare the foods and the portions is quite small, meaning you have to keep ordering and waiting. However, it is good in a sense that you can try more foods, as you try in small portions, isn't it? And Rakuzen had more options that I love to eat as the choices consists of 'light foods' while the foods in Tao's menu is quite 'heavy'. So again .. win-win situation.
But I believe, everything is depend on what and how you want things to be *Seems like carry a different meaning already :P*. For me, it doesn't matter. What matter most is that we meet and we craps. Foods is just 'side dishes'.

p/s : Friends forever ;)

.The Last Song.

From Cecilia Ahern to Nicholas Sparks :)
Thumbs up for this book. It make my tears drop too. Well .. I guess perhaps my tears drop down too easily. But seriously the storyline is so touching. Not about the guy-girl love part, but the daughter-father love part. Awesome~ Well .. is every parent that noble, is the question. *shrug*

Basically the story is about Ronnie spending summer with his dad, *as usual - typical story book - parents divorced*, and within that few months, she change a lot to someone she never thought she would be. Living with her dad, after remaining alienated from him for 3 years, only to learn that her dad was a great man - sacrificing a lot for his children's happiness - particularly not being selfish and would do whatever that is best for his childrens. In the end of the story, Ronnie's dad passed away *so sad*, and there it goes all the regrets that she did not do enough for her dad, that she had wrongly blamed and hated him for 3 years, that she did all the things she did just to hurt her dad. Its just too late when every truth is revealed out.

Hrmm .. this book touched me in two way. 1st: Never judge something based on emotions, perhaps there is hidden truth that we couldn't see with the eyes of anger and hate. 2nd: appreciate everything and do what you can while you can, not waiting when everything is too late and only left with regret.

Nice story. *except the typical part that every story must have divorced parents =.=lll*

Best Friend?!

My definition of it!

"The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had."

That says it all.

p/s : stop proclaiming you are my best friend and that you have the right to keep bugging me 24/7. My best friends - we have mutual understanding that we are the best kind of friend - we don't said it 24/7 that we ARE best friend - afraiding we doesn't had a clue about the 'status'. And we don't talk 24/7 but when we meet once in a blue moon, we mutually had the best conversation and mutually understand what had happen in our own path. And don't compare because you don't know what we - me and my MUTUAL best friends - had gone through that make us what we are today. It take years to have this relationship. Not seconds.

:: Cravings Kitchen & Bistro @ Sunway Giza ::

Once in a blue moon dinner with Edwin.
If it's not he is busy, then it is me busy.
Anyway .. a dinner and catch up session with you is always a delight. *would be better if BokYao can make it* :)

As usual .. he will bring me to somewhere I wouldn't had been before.
And this time .. he choosen Sunway Giza *I'm so out*
After making rounds and rounds of 'surveying around' , finally we end up here.
Cravings Kitchen and Bistro. :)

Peppermint Tea.
One of my 'drugs' other than Green Tea.
Do you know, when you feel tired, have a cup of peppermint tea *preferably warm* can really soothe the tiredness? It does for me! :)

Ice Lemon Tea.
I forgotted the price already since it had been some time. Just that I'm too busy to blog this up.

DOM Lamb Chop. RM34.90! *I remember this*
Well .. not that nice for me. I can't taste the DOM *or rather should say I don't even know what DOM taste like* .. I just can taste the lamb taste. Which is kinda yelks for me.
And it is overcooked that the meat is quite .. I forgotted the term. @@

Chicken Treasure RM19.90
Very not worth although it does taste nice.
Very small portion!

And I end up telling him I don't feel full. *rare occassion for me!*
So we ordered banana split RM10.90
LOL .. I never find banana split special anyway.

In conclusion .. meal was so-so, but meet up session is nice :)
*free counselling .. heee.. :) *

I love this picture a lot! :)

.:Penang Makan Trip 2010:.

For the year 2010, this is my first local trip. *wao .. it really seems like I hardly off for vacation this year @@*

A very nice trip with a bunch of people whom I hardly know. *unexpected*
But couldn't push away the fact that they are so nice and friendly and funny :)
*Guess need to thanks the one who 'force' me to go with them*

Trip begin at 430am on 19th June 2010.
I barely get any sleep the whole night, and it's a miracle that I don't faint.

Reaching Penang at 9am+. =D
Nice weather. In fact too nice that it burns my skin. @@

Our first stop was Kek Lok Si temple.
We actually didn't walk the whole temple. Instead, just the top peak.
The day was really hot @@
*But I really feel that Penang is always that hot*

Second stop was Snake Temple.

Third stop was .. The Siamese Temple. *am I right? ^.O*

And the beach of course!
Always love the seaside =D

And the last stop for the day .. HardRock Hotel.
I damn love this place so much!
Aherm .. can I have my birthday celebration here this year? *hint hint*
Oya .. I left out Toy Museum. But seriously nothing special there.

And the next day, we had our breakfast here.
Off to the museum and then hit back to KL.
We actually didn't went much places. Seems like this it is more to a makan trip.
But I actually really wanted to go to the 'small genting' there. :(


The foods ^^
Seriously missing it a lot now.
Now I feel that KL foods really isn't comparable. LOL.
Our first Penang meal was at somewhere around Ayer Itam morning market.

Had all these there.
Seriously love it.Not the koay chap .. dont like that. :P

Second stop for foods.
I dont know where is this though.

We had cendol and kuey teow.
Very very nice!
Especially the non spicy kuey teow =D

Third round.
A food court near the seaside.
I cant say the foods is nice. But just to cure our hungry tummy.

And our supper-dinner.
I was really sleepy and tired that time that I really dont feel like eating already.
And I dont know where is this either. Hehe..

I love this pizza a lot.
Rich with cheeses and damn nice! ^^
Available from xin jim shan at Jalan Machaslister..Penang georgetown.

Second round of supper.
At small house beside coffee island at gurney drive....

Mango crepe. Nice! ^^

This is so-so only.
Too creamy d.

Our breakfast on our second day.
This is at dian xim zhi jia....opposite KDU jalan anson. *according to my tour guide*
The dim sum is very nice and to my surprise . . cheap as well! ^^

Then our brunch at I-Dont-Know-Where.

And I-Dont-Know-What-Is-This.
I only know it is very nice!

Together with meehon fish head.
No fish head pun la. Only got fish fillet.
Love this one a lot too! Very very very nice! ^^
That's all for the trip.

And .. I bought this back as souvenir.
Hehe .. this thing really .. need to berebut to get it.
