Dinner at Rosa's Cantina

June 14th, 2009

We both found this interesting, the last time we had dinner here was for my farewell in Bermuda and hey, never thought that I would be back here again at Rosa's Cantina! So we had dinner at Rosa's.

Anyway, we had some nachos with some salsa for starters to kill our hunger, as we were both starving at past 8pm.

Beer for him and a Margarita for her. Very nice.

His dinner? I could not remember what it was called. A mix platter, it seemed like. He enjoyed his dinner though.
Yummy, I can't wait to dig into my order- Ribs and wings combo. It was a really big portion, which I ended up saving the other half for my lunch the very next day. Ribs were tender and well marinated and it was really good! I could have this again if we've got time this week. The wings were tasty too.

Krua Thai for dinner

May 28th, 2009

Met up with my good friend, Mark for dinner one night partly also because I had to collect the painting which he got it framed up for me and we decided to head back to the same Thai restaurant that he first brought me and Laughton to when we came back for holiday last year. I didn't take any photos then and I decided to take some so I can post it up here. Food here is really authentic and it was obvious as those people serving us were all speaking in Thai and I could see through to the kitchen plus Mark told me that the chefs are all from Thailand, which explains the authenticity. This is probably my favourite Thai restaurant and because it is situated in Kepong, an area which is out of my knowledge (even after coming here for the 2nd time and being lead by Mark), I still fail to find my way here. It's okay perhaps since I got him to come with me to this place everytime. :) Pricing is very reasonable as the meal below with four dishes and drinks (without alcohol) came just under Rm100, think it was Rm80. I can't wait to be back here again! We tend to order the same dishes, because there's just the 2 of us and maybe we will change some dishes the next time!

#1 Tom yam gung seafood. Very spicy and thick and I think it was sourish enough and hey, it was kickin! Very tasty and the seafood was fresh too. It came with some shrimps, lalas (clams), sotong (squid) and slices of fish too.
Pat ku choy fried with sambal. I'm loving this fern-type of vegetable. It's pretty good and the other one done at Lala Chong's is a must try also!
Steam siakap Thai style. It came with a bowl of soup for us to pour over the fish as the fire would have simmered the soup away. The soup was spicy and sourish taste. Very delicious! We both cleaned up everything, only left the bones. Just the two of us and we ate the whole fish.
Close up look. Nicely garnished with slices of orange and lemon, some cilantro and chilis.
Our favourite pandan chicken. I think this is the best pandan chicken I've ever had. Or maybe another restaurant in Port Klang does a pretty decent one too. It's very good!
After unwrapping the pandan chicken, this is what you should get. Yummy!

A day's out at Flatt's Village, Bermuda

June 14th, 2009

Weather looked great today, so we decided to head to Flatt's Village and take a couple of photos.






















A day or two in Melaka and how it looks like..

June 5th & 6th, 2009

I finally had a chance to visit my dear friend Mingx2, after almost 2 years since I left for Bermuda. Well, she actually flew back all the way from Vietnam to catch me during my summer vacation back to Malaysia last year, but due to some miscommunication I was holidaying in Bali so I missed her! Sob sob but it's okay now because I get to hang out with her a lot since we are both back in Melaka for quite a while. I was really excited to see her because I missed her a lot!

This is her new addition to her family. A chihuahua. Sorry, no name at the moment because she just got this pup the day before. I did hear some name calling though err like Wu-hong? (named after the ancient monkey god) Well, let's hope they got him a name by the time I get back next month. Anyway, he is so CUTE!! He is super tiny and he is just so small!! I tried to take a photo of him without the flash cause I thought my dog, Nugget is usually freaked out by the flashes as they reminded him of lightning and thunderstorm. But after a while, I tested the flash on him and he was COOL. Haha maybe he is too young to realise what he was afraid of!
Beside his cage, stretching out. He wanted to play. So adorable. If only kids could stay like this. I don't know if that's a good idea but definitely worth a thought!
A self-potrait. Look at how still he was. Amazing.
I just could not resist from taking more photos of him.
Look at how small he truly is compared to my left hand.
Next subject. Yongx2. Her son soon became the target of my Nikon Slr. He was not pleased initially, but after what he realised I was doing and upon showing him the photos that I was taking, he happily obliged and ended up wanting more shots. Hang on, little boy for I am not as active as you. I promise to take more next time, alright?
See how he likes to be cheeky for the camera?
This is so cool! Look at how he posed for the camera. Truly classic. I love this pic.
Ok he obviously prefers to pose SOLO.
For your information, this was taken after our dear Yongx2 decided to pour all the fish food into the fish tank while I was happily "gossipping" or catching up with his mum. Apparently Mum wanted me to take a photo so that she can show to Daddy what he did to his tank and fishes. Our dear little friend actually poured another new bottle of fish food the very next day, because I was there the following day and it was ALL GONE.
Had a drink with Elina, at Starbucks Dataran Pahlawan and that was the same night that I left my wristlet there containing all my cash, IC, driving license and bank cards and bla bla. After some drama, thank God I found them back all intact. Gotta be more careful next time!
My temporary tattoo done by Mingx2. Thank you my dear friend! Had a great time just hanging out with you. We will catch up soon!
My sister, Belle.
I said, how about trying to pose with your bolster? And this is what I got. Haha. She is so cute.
This is just a random photo that I thought I'd share here. Another good friend of mine, Mark did the framework for me and it's really beautiful.
