There goes my big mouth. My ad is removed. Is this coincidence or because of my big mouth? I don’t know to 🙂 or 🙁 Oh well… When you kept making my blog unaccessible, what’s the point of advertising in my blog right? How do you expect people to sign up with you when you kept having the person with your ad in her blog that is hosted in your server to always go down? You only make a bad name for yourself.

Hotel Chocolat‘s chocolates are all made with less sugar. They have so many variety of chocolates, you can buy from their shops or buy them online. I always go to their site to drool over their chocolates hahahah… Now! I finally can eat them! I asked my sis to buy some chocolates back but didn’t expect her to buy it from there. It’s indeed a surprise. She bought six types, the total was £13.50(offer price). So you calculate how much each 😛 I’m so lazy to calculate.

There are 6 types and the one you are seeing is the first one we unwrapped. It’s called Dark Rocky Road.

As the name suggested, it’s dark chocolate.

The big piece in the middle is chocolate chip cookie, then the rest are puffed rice. Turn to the back and you can see the “Hotel Chocolat”, can see? Hahaha…

It’s not sweet but I don’t really like the rice puffed and the chocolate chip cookie. I only like the chocolate hahaha… My parents don’t like it. They don’t like dark chocolate, they said that everything are tasteless after eating dark chocolate and the bitterness that left in their throat is not pleasant at all, it can’t seem to go away. Hahaha…

There are 5 more for me to explore… Stay Tuned!

I didn’t expect that I will ever go to sing karaoke at 11am in the morning yesterday *LOL* At first we planned to go for the 6-8pm session and I found out that there is a session at 11am-2pm, so we decided to take this time slot because it’s more worth it! You’ll see know why later.

This is situated next to Bestberry. Always wanted to go but always can’t find suitable time. Finally have the chance today. It’s better to book first to avoid disappointement. I heard from my friends that the sound system is good! Indeed! Though not sound proof, people can hear you sing from outside 😛 still you can sing, the noises from other rooms will not affect you because it’s loud enough in your own room already hahaha…

Our session cost us RM13.90 per person which include 1 drink+food(lunch) and 3 hours of karaoke session.
Left: Orange juice(RM6), you can choose any drinks in there except alcohol. RM6 is the most expensive non-alcoholic drink :P.

Middle: Our lunch. The soup is seaweed soup, small bowl, tasted great! I love it! Then a bowl of plain rice, normal size. After that, a plate of salad(the dressing wasn’t a lot, just right for me) with 1 fried chicken wing and 1 Japanese Fried Pork Fillet(should be pork, I don’t think it’s fish). They tasted good. The food was good!

Right: Me singing *blek* Not a very nice photo hahaha… I’m so not good in singing karaoke 😛 Summore most of the songs I only know chorus part hahaha…

Really worth it I should say! Here’s the time slots and rates if you are interested:
11am-2pm(food+1 drink): RM13.90-RM16.90 per person
2-6pm(dessert+1 drink): RM20 per person or RM14(student rate) per person
6-8pm(food+1 drink): RM17 per person
8pm-close(2 drinks): RM28 per person

Be sure to call up to make reservation at 082-230488

Will go again next time hehehe…. When? Don’t know yet 😛 By the way, you are allowed to smoke in there, the smell sometimes can go into the room. This is the part I don’t like. The rest are OK. By the way, if you opt for the the sessions after 2pm, you might have to waste about 15 minutes or so for them to clean up the room if there’re people before your session.

I sis bought this for half price, can’t recall the price 😛


It’s chocolate drink that have the taste of Courvoisier. It’s a type of cognac. However, it does not contain any alcohol in there. Just the taste and smell.

We didn’t read the instruction carefully and make a small cup to try it out. The colour is so dark as you can see from the picture. It tastes like dark chocolate to me. However, my sis said the alcohol strong is very strong. Until I tried to finish it in one gulp, then I could smell the strong alcohol smell.

Actually, we are supposed to make this drink with hot milk 😛 Hehehe… No wonder it tasted a bit odd. No milk yet, need to go to buy. I’m sure it will taste nicer with milk.

Sigh… My Advertlets‘ cheque is not here yet, everyone got theirs already but not mine. Where are you? It’s not Advertlets‘ fault, it’s the post office’s fault! It’s a bit too long already, I’m expecting it last week and it’s not here yet, thought of getting it this week, nothing here yet 🙁

It’s that time of the year now! Rice dumplings… Yum… Yum… Well, I have rice dumplings even when it’s not the festival. In Chinese it’s called “Zhong Zi” and the festical is called “Duan Wu Jie”. In English I think it should be Rice Dumpling Festival hahaha…

These were from Lundu. There are two types, pork and another one is yam. The one showing here is yam. I don’t know who to make this. I don’t want to learn too hahaha… So tedious *blek* We don’t do this ourselves, usually given by relatives. As for other days, we just buy them.

Wondering what is the story behind this festival, here’s something from the Internet:

Duan Wu Jie is a day to commemorate the Chinese patriot and poet, Qu Yuan. Falling on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is a day to remind oneself of one’s duties and obligations to the nation. Other than eating rice dumplings and participating in dragon boat races, this occasion ought to be used to commemorate the national patriots and to emphasise on the importance of loyalty and commitment to the community.

During the tumultous period of the Warring States, there lived a wise and learned man called Qu Yuan (340 – 278 B.C.). He served in various official capacities in the Chu Kingdom. Evil court official, being antagonised by Qu Yuan’s ability and reforms, influenced the weak-minded emperor to dismiss and exile him.

During the next 20 years following his exile, Qu Yuan travelled extensively and composed verses on what he saw and thought. With the progressive occupation of Chu land by the Qin Kingdom, Qu Yuan was totally disheartened. Finally, being overwhelmed by misery, Qu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Mi Luo River (in Hunan province) on the fifth day of the fifth month.

Upon hearing Qu Yuan’s suicide, the fishermen set sail to look for his body, hence began the tradition of holding dragon boat competitions. However, Qu Yuan’s body could not be found and people started throwing rice into the river to feed Qu Yuan. Later the local fishermen were told in a dream that the fishes and other sea creatures got the rice instead of Qu Yuan. Therefore, the next time they threw rice into the river, they first stuffed it into bamboo sections. This custom is later evolved into the present day version: rice wrapped in bamboo leaves stuffed with meat, beans, salted egg yolks, mushrooms, etc..

I don’t think we have dragon boat races anymore in Kuching. Hmm… Happy Duan Wu Jie!

It’s Fathers’ Day yesterday, we went to Chong Qing Steamboat for dinner, mom was lazy to cook and took the excuse of because it’s Fathers’ Day and my sister is back from UK to dine out. *LOL* We decided a few places and at the end ended up at Chong Qing Steamboat hehehe… Since it’s Fathers’ Day I’m sure many eateries were packed so went there to avoid the crowd and it turned out that there are quite a number of tables were taken already.

Left: The dipping sauce.
Right: “Fu zhu”, don’t know what it’s called in English. 😛

Left: Singapore fishballs.
Right: Frozen tofu. This is quite nice. It came in cubes, pretty hard, I thought it’s chicken meat in cubes hahaha… coz they are frozened. Then you have to quickly dump them into the steamboat to cook. When it’s cooked, it’s so soft and it socks up all the soup, WOW! Nice… Forgot to take photo of the cooked frozen tofu.

Left: Cabbage as usual…
Right: Shitake.

Left: Pork.
Beef: Beef.

Left: Chicken.
Right: The steamboat with most of the ingredients in there except the meats.

By the way, this time they did ask us whether we would like to have the spicy base filter or not. I said yes because I’m not sure how spicy my parents could handled. The difference of filtered and unfiltered base is that you don’t see all the herbs and the dried chilies in there except the red dates(small one), it seems like the big sweet red dates were missing too last night. Good thing is that last night was a cold night 🙂

Oh my… Suddenly I want to eat this now! -.-“

Again, the location is at Tabuan Laru, same row as AmBank. If you are facing AmBank, the direction is to your right. Oh… The menu is in Chinese. I think no one can help them do the translation ;p I can’t help too, I’m not good enough hahaha… If I’m good I would be able to give you the english name of “fu zhu” *LOL*
