Mini Foodbuzzers Meet-up @ Mr. Ho’s Fine Foods

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Mini Foodbuzzers Meet-up @ Mr. Ho’s Fine Foods

First of all, this is 100% non-halal post.

Got invited by CW to join him, Nate and Annie for lunch at Mr. Ho’s Fine Foods yesterday. Of course I accepted it immediately. I knew Nate and Annie from Foodbuzz but never interact with them, only added them in my list ;p I knew they’re from the US but I didn’t expect them to come here to stay for 2 years.

It’s my first time meeting CW also, was supposed to be him few months back for the food tasting at The Banquet but he couldn’t make it.

I was late, I kept thinking the lunch was at 12.30pm, it should be 12.15pm. It was a porky lunch yesterday. Never in my life savour so much pork in one seating with various cooking methods. *GULP* Artery clogging! Hahaha…

I don’t have much details on the food and price though. I’ll just copy whatever Nate has in his Facebook ;p Just show you what we had:

Left: Walnut, ham and parmesan salad. Very appetizing. I like it.

Right: Mussels in cream sauce, oh la la… I love this!


Pork satay, the colour looks like the usual chicken satay we get at the hawker stalls hahaha… The meat is very tender and juicy. Quite nice.


Left: Four Seasons plate consisted of squid & prawn, roast pork, fried chicken, pork meatballs. Nothing much to rave about the thai style squid & prawn. Roast pork was sinfully tasty! I choked on the fat -.-” I didn’t expect the fat to melt in my mouth hahaha… The fried chicken was too salty for my liking. The pork meatballs were fine but I didn’t get to try the one with cheese in there.

Right: Fried rice, there’s bacon in there.


Left: CW’s favourite, Asian Pesto Pasta. I hate cilantro hahaha… However, it’s surprisingly yummy to have it in this pasta.

Right: Sausage platter, there’s two kind of sausages if not mistaken. Tasted not bad.


Our group photo. Pardon my hair ;p Hahaha… No time to dry it coz I was running late hehehe…

Annie, Me, CW, and Nate.

Nice to meet all of you and thanks CW for the lunch. We’ll arrange another session and I’ll bring some other local food bloggers and foodbuzzers along 😉

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.4: Food Republic @ Vivo City

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.4: Food Republic @ Vivo City

My Singapore trip posts will be ending very soon. Last post will be tomorrow… My Streamyx is still not back yet. Sigh…

So… After Sentosa, we headed back to Vivo City using the monorail. Since it’s already dinner time, so we decided to settle our dinner Food Republic @ Vivo City. WOW! Food Republic is really something to WOW about! The Food Republic in KL is unique. This is even more unique even though it’s not that big compare to the one at Pavilion, KL.



See the interior design? It’s really special. You feel like you are in an old Chinese street. The tables and chairs are extremely heavy.

Let’s see what we had:

Left: Fast food from the fast food stall. This plate of rice cost SGD4.70, it came with a bowl of seaweed soup. Taste wise? Hmmm… It’s edible, nothing much to rave.

Right: Mixed meat claypot rice(SGD6.80) from Fortune Restaurant stall. This wasn’t so bad.

Oh well… Couldn’t order much or try much food as there will be surely comment like “go back to Kuching to eat even cheaper.”, you say la… Aiyoo… How to try out food like that?!?

Most of the time, you only see I featured 2 types of food but do you know these are for 3 people consumption? Again… Oh well… Don’t want to mention anymore.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Hope Streamyx will be back soon.

Jase Tea Room

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Jase Tea Room

Streamyx not back yet, here’s a quick update.

On my birthday, Lee planned something and “kidnapped” or “forced” me out that night after dinner with my family. *blek* Knew this guy was planning something but didn’t think that’s he’s serious about it hahaha…


Went to Jase Tea Room at Premier 101, only few shops away from bing!. My first time there. I know… It’s there for ages and this is my first time there. *LOL*


Ordered Earl Grey on Lee’s account of course ;p They have many other types of teas available there, if you love tea, you can have your tea here. It’s not the teabag kind. You can make choice from the small bottles at the small table near the counter. WOW! So many kind! Tiramisu, Pina Colada and more… Quite surprising.


Ann and Jee came and joined us too. I have no idea how much these drinks cost ;p The one you see here with mint ice cream was custom made, you can’t find it in the menu, somebody took the drink from somewhere else to Jase ;p Hahaha…


The cake made by Lee on that very same day, fresh out of oven. Thanks. Lemon sponge cake in there, very lemony. Yummy!

How can we miss taking a group photo right? Oh… The one behind the camera isn’t in here! *LOL* we’ve known each other for almost 10 years and this is the first time we celebrate a birthday together. Can you believe it? We always hang out together, do things together but never celebrate a single birthday together until now. Even don’t quite remember each other birthday until now *LOL*

Ann and Jee, thanks for coming and the present too.

Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.4: Red House, Robertson Walk

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.4: Red House, Robertson Walk

Let’s come back to my trip post, birthday post will be put on hold for the time being as I don’t have any photo for it.

After Clarke Quay, my friend brought us to Robertson Walk.

I love the place the minute I stepped my foot there! I love the ambiance. I can imagine my wedding being held here *LOL* But this will be just dream because it’s not possible for me to have my wedding here, fly all my guests to Singapore? Book this whole place down? It’s crazy! Hahaha… In real life, I won’t be doing all these, very troublesome and wasting money, just sign and go will do. I don’t care about the wedding, all I care is the marriage.


*BLEK* Anyway ;p Enough of the fantasy. Let’s go to place we had our dinner, it’s called Red House. A Chinese restaurant. Just walked along the river and you will spot it.


Left: A section of the place. There’s a huge ceiling fan. I did take the photo but can’t see a thing because it’s turning and couldn’t fit into my lens, it’s so HUGE! Found something similar in the Internet, bigassfans.com, go check it out, it’s something like that.

Right: Chinese tea, free flow, don’t know how much was the charge.


Left: Signature Creamy Custard Prawn(SGD7 for 100gm), NICE prawns! Yum yum… This is one of their signature dish, not disappointing at all, two thumbs up from me. *drool*

Right: Braised Spinach Tofu & Honshimeji Mushroom topped with Crisp Conpoy (small, SGD14), very unique tofu. Don’t know how to explain the taste but it tasted good for me. This is also their signature dish.


Left: New Zealand Tender Venison on Sizzling Hot Plate(medium, SGD27) Quite nice, tasted good and very tender. Also their signature dish.

Right: Red House Mee Goreng(small, SGD12), obviosuly this si also their signature dish. Hmm… Nothing much to rave about it, it’s just Malay style mee goreng. Pretty spicy though for those that cannot tolerate spiciness.


Left: Braised Ee Fu Noodle with Assorted Mushroom and Chives(small, SGD10), the noodle is quite “Q”, tasted not bad too.

Right: Sambal Kang Kong(I assume this is small, SGD10) tasted so-so but very very spicy.

There was a small dish of peanuts and they did provide us with wet towel too. These two are charged too of course and it’ll be automatically added to your bill.

The total was hehehe… Quite expensive, more than SGD100! It’s my friend’s treat. Feel so paiseh la… Next time you come to Kuching, I’ll treat you really really well hahaha… That’s all I can do to pay your deed for treating us expensive meal and drove us around.

I managed to exchange name card with the manager there. This is the only place where I didn’t get weird glares or stares when I took photos of the food.

I quite like this place even though the food price is a bit high but if the figures are in Ringgit, it’s pretty reasonable.

After the dinner we went to Fullerton Hotel, One Fullerton, and Merlion Park. That will be next post.

The Venue

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on The Venue


Had my birthday dinner at The Venue, RH Plaza. Didn’t know where to go and dad suggested this place as he went there for his gathering the other day and wanted us to try the food. It’s not that the food is good that he brought us there, it’s just to let us try out what he had tried since we’ve never been there.

Didn’t order much. First dish was mixed vegetables(RM16). It’s quite salty but part of the portion was tasteless -.-”


Second dish was O Jien(RM20), only 10 oysters on it. Very crispy. It tasted it supposed to be tasted but a bit expensive compare to other places that we had before.

Third dish was beehoon special(RM20). EXPENSIVE! Kinda salty too. There’s a lot of dried prawns. Portion was a bit big for 5 of us. However, still managed to finish it.


Fourth dish was deer meat with ginger(RM15). Hmm… The mixed vegetables is cheaper than the deer meat. Anyway, extremely salty -.-” We complained to them and they said will cook a new one for us. When it came, it was still so salty but my dad said it’s not. Then I tried the portion at my dad’s side, it’s not that salty, then he tried the portion at my side, it was. Aiyayaya… The salt wasn’t properly mix *sweat*

The last dish was buttered prawn(RM20). First time in my life having salty buttered prawn. I ate, ate, ate, it was salty but my mom said it was not. We suspected they might have mix up the salt and sugar and added salt twice, else how come all the food so salty?!!? Then I ate the last piece, guess what!??! It’s tasteless. Could taste the sweetness but only a bit and the salt overpowered the sweetness.

According to my dad, that time when he had all those food with his friends, it tasted different. Hmm… I really wonder what was wrong that night? Salt instead of sugar? Hmm…

So… There you go… My salty birthday dinner. Total bill came to RM98.40 inclusive of 2 bowls of plain rice and 3 tinned drinks. I would say this is quite expensive. We were all not very satisfied with the food. Rather go to eat seafood. Usually we had seafood, the bill would only come to a total of below RM80.
