The ill-bug is coming to town

Only a day away to a new month..and my physical body isn't at its best state to welcome it.
Need more sleep, plenty of H2O and exercise.

P.S. Junk food and yummy fried food, please go away..shoo shoo

A fishy dinner

Last week, Dan and I brought our cousin cum friend Trix to savour a really fishy yet scrumptious meal at the ever-busy Steven's Corner that's located at OUG/Sri Petaling.

Their famously known for their fish head curry. Once you've tried it, you'll definitely be craving for more *slurp! The fish head curry isn't too spicy, and it will definitely tingle your savoury taste buds - as this dish has the perfect balance of spiciness and sourness that is extremely appetizing.

For 3 person, it cost us around RM30-35. I can't remember the exact amount.
Dan reminded them numerous time to prepare a small portion for us, but I guess they always pretend not to remember or hear =_=

As predicted, the serving size was way huge - and since Dan was the only guy around, he was the tong sampah for the night :P Its always the same scenario whenever we dine at Steven's Corner 0_0

We also had fried fish roe - a must have! I like the texture of the fried fish roe; its crispy and it has a grainy-feel on the inside. One plate cost more than RM5.

Total bill came to RM42, including 2 ice-lime (limau ais) and 1 ice-lemon tea (teh-o ais limau). A tad pricey for a mamak dinner, but it was indeed a satisfying one.

The sweet-funny proposal

Dan proposed to me yesterday!
Hubby, thank you so much for the efforts that you'd put in.
He got very little sleep the previous night, because he wanted to do so much for me.

I felt really bad that the proposal didn't turn out as planned, but I will always remember it - as it was the sweetest thing ever!

My surprise that was secretly hiding in Dan's car boot *hee.

He got me to transfer some of his stuff from the passenger sit into the car boot after church, and the proposal pop-ped right out as soon as I opened the boot! And when he got down on his knees with the ring, it started drizzling even heavier :P It was a comical yet romantic proposal. In addition to that, he wanted to proposed to me in front of all the church members, but everyone decided to go home earlier yesterday.

He actually had lots of ideas up his sleeves, but he said that everything just went 0_0 the night before *haha

However I'm extremely glad that he still decided to proposed to me :)

Well the most important thing is that I'll be getting married to him this coming June. I could not asked for anything more, as I'm most blessed and grateful for having him as my husband-to-be.

The 'bling-bling'. A very beautiful diamond ring, which looks very much like a flower. And guess what? It looks best on my finger *hee

Even though everything didn't go according to plan, it meant a whole lot to me :)

Hubby thank you once again, as I'm truly honoured to be your bride :) I'm looking forward to June!

I love you very much!

Beefy-licious!

It is truly difficult to maintain a blog. You've got to constantly keep the momentum going, or a short or long hiatus of non-blogging is bound to occur.

Well that's what I've been trying to do for the past few days; I'm trying my utmost best to keep the 'blogging momentum' alive.

The main problem for me in maintaining it is that I tend to run out of interesting topics to blog about.

I've a 8-5pm job, and I work 5.5 days in a week - which leaves me with minimal time to really eat out here, there and everywhere (as I usually have dinner at home with my family or/and with Dan on most weekdays), and I barely have any time for an escapade - far away from the city.

Anyhow, it isn't as bad as it seems. Dan takes me out to new eateries as often as he can, as he knows I'm a fool for food - and feasting and enjoying a good meal makes me really happy!

If you're a frequent visitor to Jalan Alor, I believe that the Famous Ngau Kee Beef Noodle should be familiar to you. It's located along Tingkat Tong Shin, a quite narrow and dark lane - behind of the famous-controversial Jalan Alor.

It wasn't my first time here. Dan has brought me here on numerous occassions, and I've never been left disappointed after every meal. I'd the dry beef noodle with kuey teow, while Dan had loh shee fun (rat noodle) instead. One bowl cost only RM5.00. A very small price to pay for a yummy-beefy meal. Mmmm...

The soup taste fantastic too! The soup consist of beef balls, and many cow internal organs that are guaranteed safe for human consumption (but I'm not sure if their 100% clean 0_0). It contains lots of MSG in it, thus drinking plenty of water is highly recommended.

One of the most damn-syok chilli in town! I remember having a diarrhea once, after consuming an unadvisable amount of it. It tasted awesome with the noodles, but not so when you're having a fire-ry war with your anus =_=

If I'm not mistaken the stall is only open during the night but till the wee hours of the morning. The stall is pretty run-down and shabby, it also stinks a lil and don't be surprise to see a fat rat or two running around and having a feast of their own!

What's with PAPAs and MAMAs?

I honestly think that the trend of naming restaurants with the terms 'Mama' and 'Papa' are way unattractive and not appetizing.

There are numerous dinning/food outlets across Msia that find this trend somewhat 'appealling'. We've Mama's Kitchen in TTDI, Mama Chops and Papa Grill in OUG (if I'm not mistaken), Beard's Papa in MV (that sells heavenly-cream-oozing-cream puffs), and Chez Papa French Bistro & Wine Room in JB (which I'd stumbled upon via google).

The latest eatery outlet that decided to embrace the similar trend is located at Berjaya Times Square, and its called Papa John's Pizza. There isn't much to chose from, when it comes to food and when your shopping in BTS - hence Dan and I decided to give it a try.

Beef pepperoni pizza. I can't remember if this is the 9" or 11" pizza. The pizza didn't taste too bad. It was just good, but not fantastic.

The only unique thing about Papa John's, is that their pizzas are served with preserved Jalapeno chillies - which goes pretty well with the pizza, but too much of it kills the taste and flavours of the pizza.

A big-fat-juicy Jalapeno chilli. Quite spicy.

Price vice, slight above average.

However when it comes to pizza - Alexis Ampang's pizza rulez! Try the pizzas at The Great Eastern Mall branch - you'll surely want more :)~

Eat first, think later

My work is becoming a bore. Its too routine, too predictable, and tiring.
Would love to start looking for a new job, but I'm tied-down to this current one as my contract only ends in August.

I'm really looking forward to new things, but then again - my field is so specific that it limits me into venturing into other fields.

I've no intentions of going back to the factory line again, as the working hours are long and unpredictable (even though the pay is lucrative) - I prefer a job that doesn't suck the-life-out-of-me! I don't mind being paid less (that's why resigning from Nestle wasn't such a tough decision, regrets - yeah, a lil but I love life and I don't intend of slaving my entire life at work)

Oh let's talk about food instead. It is so much more intriguing - no? *hee

Well I've been to Restaurant Loong Kee for quite a number of times already, but I've always been too busy stuffing my face with its yummylicious noodles to capture any pics. The restaurant is located along Jalan Pahang, and opposite of Hospital Besar - just in case, you do get a heart attack from consuming its atherosclerosis-causing noodles.

Heart attack noodle! The mee noodle can be substitute with bihun, but mee gives the whole dish a more mouth-full feel. Yum Yum!
I can't remember what you call the fatty-porky in chinese. Their definitely bad for your arteries - but you'd better die from eating them, than not having them at all haha. Dan, please help me!! (Just edit the post, thanks!)

Fried squids!! Fried to perfection! Crispy on the outside, yet chewy and soft on the inside. Goes well with chilli sauce, which is served together.
Romaine or yau mak in chinese. Hopefully I'm not wrong 0_0 Nothing much to comment about, except that its a tad oily.

The ultimate sambal. which goes extremely well with the noodles. It'll increase your risk of an actual heart attack, but a little doesn't kill. Honest!
3 dishes amounted to about RM33. It is very reasonable as portions were big for just the 2 of us.

As a nutritionist, I'd advice you to abstain from such meals but as Cass - go ahead, and dig in!
