Who likes CENDOL and ASAM LAKSA???

I certainly do.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

If it comes from a certain stall in Penang Street. It's been a long time since I've had a bowl because I don't often go to Penang. But whenever I get the chance I'd visit this stall here:-

Anyway, you must be wondering why this sudden post on Penang food. Well, my mummy had a meeting/ conference (I think) in Penang so my dad decided to make it a family day trip. It's been such a long time since we went to Penang as a family.And as usual when people go to Penang it's mostly about FOOD!!
So we had these:-

CENDOL

ROJAK


Annndddd...



ASAM LAKSA
The asam laksa isn't the one we usually had since the original seller had some feud with the cendol seller (at least that's what everyone tells me as soon as I bring up Penang cendol and asam laksa). The cendol seller also sells laksa now and it tasted quite good actually...
Whilst we ate, we got to admire the cendol seller's Hall of Awards...

(my fav pic)
Okay..it's actually two walls.But you gotta admit he sells damn good cendol to attract famous people and politicians who're willing to actually sit at the road side (sometimes is sweltering heat or rain) next to his humble stall to enjoy a bowl of cendol. The raving reviews about this cendol is certainly no exaggeration. So make sure you visit there when you go to Penang...and eat as many bowls as you can.Haha!!Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

After stuffing ourselves, we headed to Chowrasta Market to the only stall in there that we ever seem to buy anything from:-Lots and lots of jeruk

I wanted to get my favourite nutmeg:-
Mind you, it's the ONLY jeruk I eat. It's dried nutmeg and you can choose to buy the ones dried with sugar or honey. I prefer the honey ones. My dad got me some of both. I was a happy girl.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Being so stuffed and it was a really hot day...my dad decided to cut the trip short and take the ferry back instead of crossing the bridge again.



Goodbye Penang.
Till my next trip...

My and Michelle's JOGOYA StarHill Birthday Countdown

Yay!!!Finally I have finished uploading my photos.
I'm NO LONGER A TEEN!!! After celebrating this year's birthday I feel like I've hit a milestone or something. I feel so old all of a sudden...
Musings aside...This year, I got to joint-celebrate my birthday with Miss Michelle Toon!!
We're born a day apart and it was just so nice to celebrate together again (we've been cutting cakes together for quite a few years already)

We had an early birthday dinner with Sze Haw, Kar Ning, Pui San and Yean Shan.
And the venue was Jogoya, StarHill. We chose that place because I was mouth itching for a good Japanese buffet plus they were having their Ladies' Promotion at normal price for the first lady and RM19.90 for the second lady. We had 3 pairs so it was just nice (we had 4 pairs at first but last minute Louisa and Asha couldn't come. ). See all the pretty girls who made the night so awesome for us!!!

Okay...as is customary...I'm going to spam this entire post with pictures of food.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
So here goes:-




I started with this
It's just so nice to have unlimited sashimi in Jap buffets.
Haha!!! I think I ate half a salmon.

And not forgetting the OYSTERS!!!!
They were very fresh and juicy...Mmmmm....

I think this was fried eel...

The drinks there were so GOOD!!!My fav were the individual coconuts. I think I drank like 8.


Then between plates we took pictures to make good use of our time while digesting our food...



One of the night's highlights...
HOTPOT
It's pretty cool how we have mini bunsen burners on our tables and we can actually choose whatever combination of things we want to boil on it. Hehe...Pui San and I gorged on the huge crabs they had:-

Colourful cocktails dispensers in the drinks section.
The blue one was pretty good.

Loving their ladies' room's decor......and lighting.
Haha!!!

They had Haagen Daz ice-cream in the desserts corner!!!


And a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!!!I soooo wanted to cart the whole thing back with me.. T.T

Pity they didn't have fruits for the fountain.
But the breadsticks and marshmallows were fine for me.

The little round sweeties called Mochi were very nice too:They were so cute and squishy.Kinda like marshmallows with gooey filling.Haha!!!

And after all the food.PRESENTS TIME!!!!!HAHA!!!
WE were actually very happy but SzeHaw made us make this face for the camera.
(Notice the awesomely wrapped presents..kudos SH and KN)

THANK YOU PUI SAN AND YEAN SHAN FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MAXI!!!
THANK YOU SZE HAW AND KAR NING FOR THAT CLASSY DRESS!!!


5 beautiful ladies who totally made my night!!!Happy happy happy!!!

Annndddd....
That's all for now!!

TGI Friday's 2 Course Meal @ RM29.90

(I know...another food post Image Hosted by ImageShack.us)


I adore TGI Friday's. The one I frequent is located in Sunway Pyramid. It's a favourite of my friend, Louisa and her mum (they were the ones who first brought me there) Though a bit pricey for an average student's allowance, it is good for a treat once in a while. Also, it is a great place to chill out with friends since it has nice ambiance and good food.

Now they are currently having the 2 Course Meal promotion where you can choose an appetiser and entree for RM29.90 and 2 mini desserts for RM6 add on. It is a really good deal if you compare this to the price of ala-carte.
I brought my mum there when she came down for a meeting in PJ a few weeks ago. It was my treat since I had an unexpected windfall (no, not lottery...if you wanna know ask me.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us) and we each ordered a 2 course meal. I have developed a habit of snapping pictures of food ever since I started blogging. I think I amuse my family when I go,"Waaaiiit!!!Don't eat first!!Let me take photo first!!" Anyway, here are them pictures:-

APPETIZERS

Fried Mac and Cheese

Boneless Chicken Wings
In my opinion, these two are TGIF's best appetisers. The fried mac and cheese is really cheesy and filling. I can make a meal out of the that appetiser itself. The boneless chicken wings seem to get drier and drier each time I visit (last time it was juicy and some sauce cooked with the chicken) but at least the dip is still as nice.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

ENTREE

Sizzling Chicken and Cheese (mine)

Tuscan Chicken Melt (mummy's)
We enjoyed our entrees but my mummy was slightly disappointed that the bread that came with her Tuscan chicken was so thick she couldn't taste the chicken unless she left off the bread. I would recommend trying the burgers in TGIF's. The Jack Daniel's Burger is my favourite.

The portions given in TGI Friday's are really huge so we ended up taking away like half of our meals (meaning one 2 course meal can feed 2 people...unless you're accustomed to eating huge portions at every meal) . Since we already ordered the set, we just added on the RM6 and got 2 mini desserts. They're really cute.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Oreo Chocolate for me...
Mocha for Mummy....


Nice dining experience with my Mummy...
