Dinner @ Restaurant No. 9

May 20, 2009May 22, 2009 sweet surrender 7 Comments

Restaurant No. 9? New restaurant? At least Lee got confused for a while until I reminded him it’s Ann‘s house *LOL*

OK… If you are reading this and thinking where it’s locating and how much and so on, don’t even ask coz this is not a restaurant hahaha… There’s no such restaurant here.

Anyway, we went for dinner last Friday at Ann’s house. This decision was made when we got disappointed with the food on offer at Star Chef. We wanted western food but got none. For a change, since we heard that Jee is good in preparing steak, so why not?

Let’s see what we had:

Going to have these cook to perfection. Sizzling in the pan… *salivating*

Final product… Medium rare, it’s really tasty. Best to have it on its own rather than drenching it with all those sauces. I really don’t understand why people here like to drench their steak with sauces. Original is the best!

Don’t be fooled by the size, it looked small but it was really filling. Was so full!

Of course, we also had other food, salad and mashed potato. How are you not full with all these? We even had dinner rolls!

Last but not least, nowadays we will surely have something from Lee as our dessert whenever we have a gathering. This time he presented us with his fresh cream fruit tarts. The dragon fruit was from his own backyard. The tart was great, not sweet, sugar was reduced.

Two thumbs up for all the food we had that night and salute to both the chefs ;p We girls just sat and waited for our dinner to be served, the men did all the cooking. Cool eh?

tHe Spring Spring & Summer Fashion Show 2009 – Diesel & Renoma

May 19, 2009May 19, 2009 sweet surrender No Comments

After getting high and excited from the Xixili show, it’s time to lower down the blood pressure and slow down the racing heart *LOL* The next show was by Diesel and Renoma.

Some was expecting the male models would be parading in underwear since Renoma is more well-known for its underwear. Sad to disappoint you, there’s no men clad in underwear to see ;p

Nothing much but just casual wears. That’s all.

I can never find Diesel jeans that fits me and for the record and I’ve never purchase anything from Renoma.

Hate the glare from the top. Almost all my photos for this show were kinda ruin by the light from the top there. Some were OK with the help of flashes from the DSLRs’ speedlights but most of the time I was not that lucky.

Pizza Hut Mommy Dearest Pizza

May 18, 2009May 18, 2009 sweet surrender 4 Comments

Went out for late dinner last weekend with my family. We went to pizza hut. This time we ordered the Mommy Dearest Pizza set because couldn’t decide what to order. There were 4 of us but we ordered meal for 2 only because we were still full and there were even two pieces of pizzas left and we had to pack it home. ;p

It came with 2 bowls of soup-of-the-day, 2 glasses of Havana Mint Fizz, Breadstix, 2 mango puddings, and a Mommy Dearest Pizza.

Left: Havana Mint Fizz that tasted like toothpaste.
Right: Breadstix, nothing to say.

Left: Mango puddings, very sweet.
Right: Hearth-shaped tasteless Mommy Dearest Pizza.

This meal cost us RM29.90(not inclusive of taxes yet). Not worth it.

tHe Spring Spring & Summer Fashion Show 2009 – Xixili

I know some of you are waiting for this, fashion show from Xixili. This show can be considered the climax. How often can you get show like this in Kuching right?

Thank goodness class was canceled!

Before the show, there were two Q&A games and I managed to win something. The place was later filled up and could see lots of cameras, from big to small, from DSLRs to camera phones.

However, it wasn’t as packed as I had expected. So it’s a good news and I could take photos in peace.

I was curious on how they were going to show the lingerie, as you know… It’s something intimate, not like swim wears which are for show.

Mother’s Day Dinner @ Kenny Rogers Roasters @ Boulevard

May 16, 2009June 8, 2009 sweet surrender 2 Comments

About almost one week ago, we made a last minute decision to go out to eat. I think this is the first time we have Mother’s Day dinner for my family. Anyway, decided to go to Boulevard coz my bro wanted to buy some stationery at Popular.

My dad spotted the lamb dish few weeks back and thought of trying it, so we ended up at Kenny Rogers. Initial plan was Pizza Hut.

Many people don’t like Kenny Rogers but my dad likes it. He loves the chicken coz it’s soft and tender enough.

Let’s see what we ordered, 4 people but we ordered food for 3 coz both my dad and my bro were sick (you know… now is the season of fever, flu, cough… second case swine flu confirmed summore -.-” really have to take care, at this time of the year it seems like everyone got sick, the immune system isn’t as good as other time of the year due to the weather), they didn’t have much appetite so they shared.

Left: Beef Bolognaise Potato Jacket(RM9.90), I ordered it A-La-Carte instead of a set. The taste wasn’t too bad. According to my mom, the potato seemed not quite cooked. No idea for me, it’s OK for me though.

Right: Quarter Meal(RM16.90) came with roasted 1/4 chicken, 3 side dishes and a muffin. The side dishes we had were macaroni & cheese, mashed potato, and rice.

Left: Kenny’s Roast Lamb (RM21.90), came with potato wedges, 2 side dishes of your choice, and wedges. Something new here. So we decided to try it out. Hmmm… This dish is really not something to be enjoyed. My mom commented that eating this felt as if she just came back from a slaughtering spree. So tough -.-”
