Stomach Treats!

It was a handful in the kitchen today. I prepared 7 'nyonya' dishes for my closest friends. Started at 2-ish in the afternoon and finished cooking only at about close to 7pm---and the dinner was set for 7pm too! Luckily the friends were all so 'Malaysian-timing' - sparing me the 'Gosh, I'm still not done yet!' bullshit. LOL

I only managed to capture these as the rest was totally 'ruined' look-wise, kudos to my very hungry friends!:)

PS: I'm very pleased it turned out like this as it was my very first time trying to cook 'em all!

Tamarind Prawn

Cencaluk Fried Egg

(Turned out a little saltier than expected, so next time I'll have to remind myself to put less a spoon...Meaning it's true when they say "never trust EVERYTHING in recipe books"!)

Fried Chicken in Thousand Island

YES, I'm gonna see DK very, very soon now - weeee!!!!!

We've WIP-ed; but I'm just not BLOWN away yet.

My pick for drink: Shirley Temple

Went for dinner with Shian, Dom, and Paul to this very-much-talked-about restaurant/cafe/lounge in Bangsar Shopping Centre known as W.I.P...Nothing too spectacular, food maybe btter off slightly than just being 'average' (in my opinion) and the service was....nay. We had to hold up for a table like about almost close to an hour - After being told that there were no empty tables for dine-in, they suggested perhaps we wait a while for a place...that took us 10 minutes or so. Later, the staffs cleverly got us to sit and wait at the couch/drinking area, which was a tactic to keep us from 'running away', I'm guessing - but really, after we got seated there, they kept us waiting for another 45 minutes like that! WTF.. We were all getting hungry by the minutes by now! So, though they may be very 'hot' now, but they definitely didn't impress me by their services provided, albeit the couch that was ver comfortable to sit on indeed. U SHOULD NEVER KEEP HUNGRY PEOPLE WAITING FOR ALMOST A FREAKING HOUR!!!! But the night ended well, we got loaded with foods in our tum-tums and we all headed back right after.
