Hometown during CNY

Was back to hometown with sayang last weekend and while jln jln at nite...I took some shots of the CNY decorations in Jonker Street.


The whole place is decorated with rows and rows of red lanterns.


Some of the buildings have red spot lights shined on pillars and their roof to make them more "red" in colour.


Fantastic decoration.


Even the Dutch buildings are not spared....red spot lights are everywhere....making the pillars, roofs and walkway red in colour.


Nice.


As usual...how can we forget bout the food. Tried out another laksa (curry noodle) stall in Jonker Street...and its yummy.


Also...there is always the cendol.

Pergi Penang

Was at Penang last weekend for a friend's wedding. Since the wedding reception and dinner is on Sunday....I decided to leave KL to Penang on Friday nite itself after work...so sayang n me can go jln jln a bit on Saturday.

We had all sort of plans for Saturday....however only manage to go to the botanical garden and makan makan at nite saja. All this becoz we are just too tired n find sleep more important than jln jln...hehehehe. Anyway still manage to go breakfast with Beckz punya friend's mama, whom we are staying at her place.

At the botanical garden...., was expecting to see many monkeys. Indeed there were a lot...sampai kena attack by one...hehehehe. This place is famous for joggers too....can see many of them, old and young running ard the garden. Also can see many kahwin orang come here for their outdoor photo shot.

I took the oportunity to put my old Canon Powershot A80 to some closeup pics.










Curi take pic of my sayang also...hehehehe

Cheese baked rice

Sometimes I like to experiment with cooking.....if I taste something nice or unique in a restaurant....I will try to create the same/almost same lah thing at home. Some of my success include making the Sunrise drink...its a ice blended orange+milk drink usually served in Coffee Bean. Used to know how to make Ice Blended Mocha also...but then long time din practise liao so kinda forget the ingredient d.

Recently I makan few times cheese baked rice in few restaurants....hmmm...I feel that I can make this. So on 1 fine weekend...I went shoping for the ramuan with Beckz.

So here we are shopping.....for tomatos, cheese, meat, sauce, jipun rice (so cute...bulat bulat kecik kecik, remind me of doraemon), spoon, fork, toilet paper (wipe the oil), oil, orange + milk (for Sunrise), plasters (in case kena lecur)...hehehehe....joking bout the plaster :P

So when got back to home...I masuk nasi tomato....then Beckz masak the meat...also we got soup from Beckz mum. After 2 hours of our collective effort....jadilah aku punya cheese bake rice + black pepper chicken h herbal sour.


My cheese bake rice ah....yummy...


Another close-up on the cheese bake rice....yummy yummy


Black pepper chicken...looks normal...but taste superbly nice and delicious....


Herbal soup...contributed by Beckz mum...., or maybe Beckz curi from home wan...kekekeke


Full dish set....for two....yummy
