The food is here! My first time attending wedding banquet at The Banquet.

Left: Chilies, soy sauce and vinegar.
Right: The combination dish, my first time having such spicy dish in a Chinese wedding banquet.

Left: Hmm… Shark’s fin soup!?!?? I’m not sure, maybe is sea cucumber or crab meat soup, can’t really taste it. I’m not so sure about most of the food name as there isn’t menu on our table. Usually we get to see what are the dishes that will be served for the night printed on a card but not this.

This dish is usually served by the waiter/waitress. Well… Since almost all of us had cameras and 4 bloggers at the table, you can imagine what happened that night ;P Once the food came, we took out our cameras and started snapping before touching the food! Another two just joined us for the fun of it since they had cameras also 😛 Means there were 6 cameras awaiting to take photos of the food!

Then for this dish, the waiter wanted to serve us and we suddenly took out all our cameras, not to forget Nien, the videographer with his professional video camera was sitting with us too, hehehe… The waiter got a bit of shocked of his life when he wanted to serve us, he quickly backed off and let us do our job hahaha… Then after we’re done, we told him he could proceed. *LOL* Poor guy… 😛

Right: Steamed fish… I don’t like it. The fish is fresh but I don’t know why but it tasted very “fishy” to me could be the part that I’m eating.

Left: Roasted chicken, not so bad.
Right: Mixed vegetables in yam basket. It’s just like any other place.

Left: Hmm… Abalone mushroom, braised brocolli and toufu skin I think… Quite a standard dish also.
Right: YUMMY! Buttered prawn! The prawns were big. I want more! 😛

Left: This is the funniest part. Lotus rice hahaha… 😛 Not sure how people called it. We were quite full and we don’t really like rice served as the last dish. Afte we took the photo, no one touches it. One thing is that they were supposed to give us clean plates for it as we saw this at other tables but we only had bowls, so we waited for the plates but still no plates in sight. Secondly. we don’t really want to eat. The captain saw it and asked the waiter to serve us. He came and ask whether we need him to serve or not and we said OK *LOL* After serving it in the bowls, no one took the bowl!

The waiter was standing there. I think the waiter must be thinking, “WTF!?!? Food came, whipped out cameras, then don’t want eat! Need to wait for me to serve them. Now! Served them already but no one take any of it! Are they expecting me to put every single bowl in front of each of them so that they can start eating!??! Or after that I need to feed them one by one is it!??!?” *LOL*

Hehehe… To avoid giving the waiter such hard time, we quickly took our own bowl. Bad… Bad… 😛 We were very naughty!

Right: Dessert, mango milk+sago, very sweet…

Oh.. I also overheard the table behind us commented about us. She said, “That table ar… Don’t know what’s wrong with them, even food also want to take photo!?!?”

That’s all about the food. Will be updating our photos tomorrow. So busy!!! I have 4 tags pending summore! Also few more posts pending too!

After Kaya & Toast @ Petanak – Bloggers + Bands Meet at Kaya & Toast, we went for dinner. I took us a long long time to decide on where to have dinner. Actually we supposed to have another plan by having dinner with another group of friends at Westwood but had to change plan because of some unforeseen circumstances.

The menu and our drinks(ice lemon tea-RM1.50, chrysanthemum tea-RM1.50 and lime juice-RM1.50)

Left: Gladiezz ordered salad(RM3)
Right: Cynthia ordered coleslow(RM2.50)

Left: Jimmy, AhBao and Cynthia ordered Lamb chop(RM9), don’t you think it’s affordable? However, some of the portion weren’t properly grilled. The spices used to marinate them were still kinda raw. You see… It’s not flat also hahaha… Mangle like this.
Right: Anna ordered Mussels (RM15).

Left: Mixed Grilled (RM19), I ordered this. Very affordable!!! WOW! The pork fillet was tough though. The beef steak was quite small piece and the lamb chop is as the above I mentioned. Taste wise, so-so but with this price, I shouldn’t be complain so much hehehe…
Right: Lamb Shank (RM19), believe it, Tim actually couldn’t finish it! Hahaha… He didn’t eat the egg. How you can imagine how big the portion was. A big guy like him actually couldn’t finish it.

All seven of us, we spent RM97. Quite OK right? Imagine at other places, I’m sure it will reach RM100-200. It’s situated at Ellis Road, just by the roadside, easy to spot.

Some food and drinks that we had yesterday with some of SLap! and Dream Machine members. I have no idea how much were all these and I’m not sure what are all the food called. 😛

Left: The interior, one tiny Christmas tree, they are still decorating.
Right: Soft-boiled eggs and hot Milo I think…

Left: Ice lemon tea, teh tarik and Milo Dinasour hehehe… We paid for these ourselves as we reached there early. Supposed to go to PC fair but too many people and if we went, we won’t be in time join this meet.
Right: Peanut butter toast.

No idea what were all these! 😛 They are breads with kaya, butter(left and right) and condensed milk(middle).

Ok… Enjoy your Sunday. Will be off to Alysha’s wedding dinner later.

Since we arrived quite early for the Kuching Entertainers’ Gathering 2007 last Saturday, we went over to Crown Square for a drink.

Here’s our drinks:
Left: Iced Chocolate Drink(RM3.40) ARG! Are you giving me Milo?!?!? I know it’s not Milo but it tasted like Milo’s competitor. It’s not chocolate =.= At least to me, I didn’t taste any chocolate… Taste more ice. I’m pretty picky in chocolate based drink. For this price and I’m getting this quality and quantity, I felt cheated! 🙁 Don’t ever order this type, other type I’m not sure.

Middle: Almond Tea(RM2.80)

Right: Tea In Hong Kong Style(RM2.60)

That’s all hehehe…

On other note, where is NTV7!!! I missed my shows! *CRY*

You want to get the best Hainan chicken rice or char siew(red BBQ pork meat) in Kuching? Fang Yuen is the place you should go. Well… That’s what many people said. For me… Nothing special… Just normal chicken rice and normal char siew. *SHRUG* I guess I’m not really a fan of chicken rice *LOL*

It’s always packed with people! If you are wondering where it’s situated, it’s just behind Hock Lee. Very easy to locate. Ample parking space too.

The basic thing you have when you are eating chicken rice, the chili is important, some people will mix the soy sauce with the chili to give extra flavour but not me. The belacan is a must too. As for the bowl of curry with no meat, just the curry, it’s only applicable to places that serve curry chicken rice and usually you can get it at places that serve Hainan chicken rice.

Of course, the rice and the soup. The soup not nice, so peppery and very salty -.-‘ The rice so-so only and that time they ran out of chicken rice and the plate of rice that my dad got was plain rice mixed with the chicken rice which they did inform us earlier because the chicken rice was out of stock, so it’s not that bad. Oh well… Their business is always very good, it’s was Sunday too. In fact, had this 2 weeks ago! *LOL* I forget to update about it! 😛

TADA! The char siew and the steamed chicken. Portion very little for 4 persons don’t you think? Good thing, my bro and I wasn’t in the mood to eat a lot, it was so hot and humid that day and we were sitting outside of the shop. It’s only RM15 for 4 of us! Cheap! Haven’t count the drinks yet hehehe…
