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. For those you wanna try them out:

DK was back in Malaysia for 9 days from Aug 8th - 17th to get his PR matter done and he finally earned his much-awaited PR status in OZ. Congrats, congrats! He's almost a happy man now, albeit having his new home to settle with still and to start moving in, hopefully latest by January 2010.

Today marks 2 months exactly before I leave for Melbourne and be with my dearieboo >>>>

Hugs, Kisses, and Big LOVE!

HAPPY 52nd MERDEKA, MALAYSIANS!!!!

KFC (M) memang TERSENDIRI

When DK and Evelyn told me how much the Australian KFC is 'just different' I was very much eager to try it on first-hand when I was there. True to what they say, it was - and for me, it only made me miss Malaysian KFC soon after tasting the Australian one! Something was NOT right for me - healthier it could be as clearly it was not as greasy, oily like the ones back in homeland but they were definitely lacking a certain spice, which I really can't figure out, just yet! (While eating, I even thought that, "Hell, my self-cooked Kentucky fried chicken easily beats this too!"

I craved Malaysian one alot till yesterday I finally got myself a good serve. Weeee~~~~~~

They even had a new menu on the line .... Say hello to KFC's Macaroni & Cheese

On ad...

The real-deal that Tiffany ordered!

Also their new breakfast menu!

Of course, what I have been yearning since a month.....KFC's Fried Chicken of Malaysia!!!! Glorious, yummylicious till it's really finger-lickin' good!

I am definitely more a fan towards Hungry Jack's than KFC anytime I'm in Melbourne, that's a fact:)

Melbourne - Day 12

Woke up today - making for both, DK & myself, a healthy brekkie of Sardine Cheese Roll! I have eaten mine by now but he hasn't cos he is sleeping away at the moment - he will be on Night Duty(after almost half a year getting off night shifts!) for 4 days beginning today, so he was just getting himself back into 'the mode' of sleeping during the day.

Therefore, he stayed awake the longest he could and only went to sleep about 6am today, I guess. I am not entirely sure what time...cos clearly I bonked-out waaaayyyy earlier than him. I dozed off to sleep while watching DVD with him like 3x!!! Alas, seeing how sleepy I was, he suggested we continue finishing up the rest of the movie later today..... told me get my sleep first:P

BTW So weird ok, I dunno why was I so tired or something (prolly the so chilly weather too!)-Never in my life was I fully-covered like yesterday, it was so freaking cold, I had chills all over my body-I HAD TO RUN FOR COVER! FROM HEAD TO TOE ya know....errrr.....I am only exxagerating here, it was more of From Neck to Toe la actually...So babi rite???? Tee-hee. So here goes>>>>>>>>>>>Tada!!!

I looked at myself here, I just laughed - cos I think I look retarded, though DK thinks it's cute- that I'm all warm & toasty, haha! (He made me give these silly poses, mind you! LOL) OMG I wonder what's with him these days, with a growing interest to snap photos leh!!!! Don't believe me? Scroll down for more:P

(See shots of Evelyn below - him being the photographer....what nonsense to snap people moving out and into a new place! HAHAHAHA.) I wasn't the one with the idea, but he came up to me to tag our camera along when we were to go out! WTF LOL

So my DK ada gaya not to be a pro-photog?:P (Ish Ally memang kes perasan!)

So yeah, in regards to Evelyn---she finally moved out to a new place. DK and I, helped her to shift - you can tell the neat, young lady is very happy about her big leap out for freedom after living for such a long-time with her 'difficult, messy' relatives, haha.

Right before we went to Evelyn's place, while heading to DK's parking lot at his apartment, I ran towards him to give him a tight hug from the back. Being the classic clumsy me, I accidentally gave him this scratch using my spectacles that I was holding on my blardy hand! It was a pity looking at his beautiful hand, now scratched, all because of me, so clumsy!!!!!!!!!!!! Unsightly & red right, but my poor babee boo never complained or EVEN blamed me - he can still joke about it saying, "This will be scarred for life". Ish. It only goes to show how much he sayang me and how lucky I am to get a wonderfool, understanding man like him for myself~~~awwww, baby you spoill me too much, too, too much---but I love the fact that you do, hehe! PS: Still, I'm SORRY again, dear:)

My delayed entries for the past 3 days or so.....

Oh today's entry is an opportunity for me to show off DK's rented apartment in Melbourne. I think it's really a comfy place, so far.....but can't wait to see his actual REAL OWN house, come December this year!:)

Unlike in Malaysia, heating up your legs in a cold country @ winter is indeed a heavenly thing to do!

Fried Rice @ Home

Apple, not Passionfruit- Huhu!

The Famous Crispy Chicken


His

Mine

Yesterday----

DK came home and I served him a late lunch of my 'Rojak' Fried Rice and he loved it - He was a happy, load-up boyfriend after that... and obviously I was a happy girlfriend seeing my boyfriend being the happy, load-up boyfriend. LOLOLOLOL We snuggled up awhile while watching DVD and then we pigged-in awhile till it was.....err....Dinnertime! My god, really babi man both of us! Hahaha.

Went to Box Hill, to thisAsian eatery - 1228 TEA HOUSE- Went there as DK said they had a generous portion in its food & their fried chicken is yummy.

But I guess I was not having much food-luck yesterday la. Why? Cos my orders were all hay-wired!!! I wanted to get myself Ice Blended Passionfruit with Pearl ( Those yam balls, black in colour wan) but they ran out of stock on Pearls. Ok nvm, just the Passionfruit then----when the drink arrived, I sipped and I sipped several times wondering, 'Why the hell this taste nothing like Passionfruit but an Apple instead???' To double confirm my wonderings I got DK to try it and he went, 'Yeh, it's APPLE.' Ish!

Then I ordered for Fish Fillet in Rice since I had the famous fried chicken as a side dish (which btw, DK wrongfully ordered in Spicy instead of what I actually wanted: Original), earlier. The waiter came back to me and said they don't have fish fillet for the day! So guess what? I ordered Rice with...........yea, Fried Chicken again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urgh!!!WTF. #!^*%#$#!!!!!

Lucky the food was delicious though. Thank god that was not ruined.

PS: Lucky DK 'dengar salah' what I wanted cos apparently the Spicy tasted waaaayyyyyyyy better than the Original Crispy Chicken >_<

Yay, looking forward to our trip tomorrow. Going to the Great Ocean Road, ya'll!:)
