ƸӜƷ•¨¯`•My Recuerdos•¨¯`•ƸӜƷ

I finally visited Tony Roma's and gave their lunch sets a try. I've been eye-ing their lunch set menus and finally tried them out with Louisa, Pui San, Charis and Ben. Another reason why I was eager to go was also because I had RM20 worth of vouchers with me. Hehe..

Tony Roma's lunch sets start from RM16.90 onwards, and your selection of main course is inclusive of a bottomless drink and a Soup of the Day. Sounds like a pretty good deal?? It IS a good deal, if you compare the RM16.90 Tony Roma's lunch to lets say; Nando's, where RM16.90 gets you only a quarter chicken meal without any drink.

Trust me, I'm so not being paid to advertise Tony Roma's. I'm just a little tired of people going, "Oohh...so rich ah you, eat at Tony Roma's!!". And of course, good things are meant to be shared. Sharing the good deal info to all of you. Anyway, pictures for you all. I don't normally include prices in my posts, but I will do so to avoid any confusion over the pricing.

And now for the main courses...


The honey mustard dip that came with this was very nice. Couldn't get enough of it. Even after finishing the chicken, we were dipping our fries into it. Haha!!!

The BBQ Chicken lived up to its name since the chicken had a very nice smoky flavour to it. The meat was tender and not too dry. Very yummy.

I've always been used to tasting the sauce on starters; e.g: the boneless buffalo wings in TGIF's. So it was quite different to taste it on a main course. Nice and interesting.

The patty was very juicy and tender. The bacon that came with it gave an extra kick to the flavour. Mmm... It may seem weird to some for us to order burgers in dining places like Tony Roma's but the difference between burgers here and McDonald's is the patty quality. Try it sometime and you'll appreciate what I mean.

Okay, I have come to the end of my food review. If your stomach is growling, that's a sign. Go try the lunch set!!! =P

Just a short one on some home made meals I have shared with friends recently. (I knowww I am behind in updates. Doing my best. Hehe!!) Anyway, here goes.

VEMAL proposed to be the chef during our previous makan together, so he went back to Ipoh to consult his guru/mother and came back with three boxes full of fragrant home-cooked BRIYANI RICE. Abel and I helped make a salad before the meal. Took a surprisingly short time and we had a very awesome dinner together; Vemal, Abel, Emily, Joshua and I.

Aside from enjoying a home-cooked meal, I got to eat a group cooked meal too a.k.a STEAMBOAT. It was a CG outing and Xian Yang opened his house for us once again. Thanks for your family's awesome hospitality Xian Yang!!!! Pictures of steamboat that night.

I had no idea that Shalz was on secondment in KL for such a long period (if I'm not mistaken, 2 months???), but anyway; I'm so happy she included me in her meet ups with her cousin Vemal. (Click here to read about our previous meet up) Thanks Shalz, for taking the time, braving the roads of KL and putting up with my abysmal sense of direction even though you must be so busy at work. I hope I can be like that too when I start work in the future.

So the other day; while we were all sitting in agony in P2 class, Vemal unexpectedly asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner since Shalz was coming. Aside from me, Abel was included too. They encouraged me to call Ben since they still have not met him; so I texted him and was doubly surprised and pleased when he said he would come.
With Ben on board, I was looking forward to the evening. One, because we were going to MURNI in Aman Suria (my favourite Murni branch) and secondly, we won't get lost because Ben knew the way. Teehee. And three, good company for dinner.

The night went well. We had a very merry time chattering and laughing. We sat at a table outside and it was a challenge for me to photograph the food in the dark. Haha!! First I used flash and it turned out like this:-Then I fiddled with some settings and managed to take better albeit a little blur photos. Hmm..this is a step though. I understand my compact more now. Haha!! Okay, foodie pictures of the night.

We ordered the Mee Raja Tom Yam to share but the portion that night was so small compared to the other days. And a tad too salty too. =( What gives??

2010 marks the second year since my maternal grandmother, Por Por left us. To remember her, the whole family gathered to pay a visit to her grave site and later had a family meal together. This visit, my cousin Benjamin read some Bible verses in Chinese before we prayed as a family before we left.

I have no doubt, had she been alive; Por Por would have been very proud and pleased to hear your reading, Ben. You're her first grandchild, among us, who is literate in Chinese. I'm proud of you too. :)

After the visit, we went back to freshened up and met up in my Yee-Yee's place before heading to Solaris, Mont Kiara for lunch. Yee-Yee was taking us to Canton Fare. We've been there seperately before on a few occasions but that was the first time all of us went there together. To read about my last visit, click here.

Canton Fare is currently having a dim sum promotion. If you're a fan of these yummy bites of heaven, do go give Canton Fare dim sum a try. Here's pictures of the assorted dim sum we started of with :-


Then we had some soup before the main courses arrived. Yoong and I shared the winter melon with pork ribs soup:-
Then the PEKING DUCK was served!!! I love how they make somewhat of a ritual of it. First they will set up a little side table next to your dining table.






Uncle Alex had brought along wine to complement all the meat we were consuming. And since now the table consists of 'kids above 18', Yoong and I also got a wineglass each. Yay-ness!!


Of course the duck was not the only thing on the table. Besides that, we also had Canton Fare's much celebrated Roasted Porks; Char Siew and Siew Yoke







Needless to say, we were all full to bursting by the time all the main courses were served. The 'adults' all declined dessert but we (the 'kids') still had room for the Mango Pudding. Yoong was especially looking forward to this one. Haha!!!

Phew..it's taken me days to sort through and upload these pictures. I made myself hungry a few times while arranging the pictures here. =.= Anyway, a few random pictures before I end this post!!!
