Big Nose's Recipe & Richmond Place

One of my best buddy is back to the town! Had a great chat with her last night. Part of the night long she had to bear with me with my unlimited complaints of my current work and my personal affairs. LOL. It's comfortable to have someone reliable to talk to.

Lamb Chop with black pepper sauce RM13

Though the lamb portion is small, I did feel full after having whole plate of it. The lamb is okay for me, without too strong lamb-y taste. 

Grilled fish RM12

Grilled Dory fish. Nothing much to shout at.

One random night my brother brought us to Richmond Place to have supper. I can't recall when was my last time there. 4-5 years ago? Richmond's Place caters mostly for family. It's one of the oldest and cheapest western eatery place in the town.

Fish & Chips

Long ago Richmond serves two pieces of fried fish instead of one. The taste of Dory fish seems to be similar everywhere.

Mix Grill 

I still think that Petanak Steak House serves one of the most delicious and cheapest mix grill in the town. The  lamb chop is nice and the portion is so generous!

Easy Drink, Easy Go, Kuching Central

Easy Drink, Easy Go has opened a franchise outlet at Kuching Central not along ago. I always miss the Bubble Tea moment at Selangor, whereby Chatime, Ochado, Gongcha and many more bubble tea outlets are readily accessible at most shopping malls.

Grass Jelly Milk Tea RM5.50

Glad that I can choose the sugar level and ice options just like most bubble tea outlets in Peninsular. I chose 30% sugar and less ice.

To my amazement, all the the drinks was in huge size rather than regular one. The price was rather cheaper compare to those in Peninsular. However, my 30%  sweetness milk tea was kind of too sweet. Imagine I ordered 50%, 70% or 100% sugar level?  I love their generous portions of glass jelly and size of drinks (sharing is good). 

Do bear in mind not to drink those bubble and milk tea drinks so often as it brings no benefits to our body.

Dose of the day:

一等男人愿意娶让自己变得聪明, 能成为自己对手的女人为妻.

二等男人愿意找一个美艳有点个性的女人为妻.

三等男人愿意找一个美艳加听话的女人为妻.

男人女人, 你们属于哪一型呀?

心愿心语

我要大声呐喊一下

Mothers' Day Celebration

Our family went for dinner as an early celebration of the special day. This time is my sister to treat us a dinner meal. It's our family culture that my brother and sister takes turn alternatively to pay the bills for our regular family meals. I will be joining sister and brother very soon....oh NO!!! 

The initial plan is to go Sweet Happiness to have meals so that can order my favourite salted eggs crab. We did not make reservation and the Sweet happiness restaurant was fully packed with customers that night. We requested for empty table and the boss/cashier was so unfriendly to us and she pointed her fingers to a messy table. We sat and requested for the staffs to clear our table but no one execute it. We waited and waited and frankly speaking, we started to get angry as no one entertain us. We asked the staffs for more than 3 times to clear the tables but they did nothing for it. In the end, we left the place and headed to the nearby Yun Yan Restaurant. Oops, my crab is gone.

Dinner of the day:

Fried Midin with garlic (Medium-RM15)

Braised Bean Curd (M-RM15)

Sweet Sour Black Pomfret (M-RM20, fish brought our own)

They fried the fish for too long until the fish meat was tough.

Braised Pork Leg with buns (M-RM55)

most expensive dish yet most disappointing one

Bitter gourd with salted egg....mom loves bitter gourd (M-RM18)

but too salty to eat alone. served best with rice~

My sister in law all time favourite dishes...Butter chicken (M-RM20)

Total damage was around RM170, inclusive rice, drinks and tea. Rather pricey for an 8 persons family meal compare with our previous one but this time was an exception as the place was classy a bit than other seafood place.

On the actual Mothers' Day, I baked the Crunchy Cheese Cake. The critical part was the whisking of egg whites and sugar till stiff.

I managed to whisk the egg whites and sugar till stiff.

Yin Yang topping...Almond flakes and grated cheddar cheese as topping

Crunchy Cheese Cake with almond/cheese topping. Which one you prefer?

eventually the cake just vanished in the following day (monday)...

 And bro came to an idea of BBQ and steamboat during the Mothers' Day. We were discussing and planning what foods to buy and how to set up everything a week before the actual day. It was our very first BBQ event in our house. 

A sudden blackout occurred after the thunderstorm and heavy rain in the evening. Nevertheless, we set up our DIY BBQ equipment while waiting for the SESCO technicians to fix back the electricity.

Interesting BBQ grill set, isn't it?

We just set up with whatever things we had in our house~

Sunny days

These few days the Kuching weather is so freaking hot 

Chilling out at Bing's Coffee, The Hills

Ice Blended Chocolate & Ice Blended Mocha

(only RM5 each using purchased groupon)

Takeaway Special at Swee Kang, Haji Taha

no doubt, awesome drink all the time~

The business was so good there yet the impressive owner, Mr. Swee Kang was still pretty steady in preparing each desserts. 

Visited Swee Kang again...my favourite red bean ice (RM2)...I can't recall how many times I visited this place for the past few weeks lol. No doubt I just love the ABC there...

fried carrot cake RM4

rojak RM4...the addition of crunch you tiao is so yummy

abnormal fork...my friend insisted me to take photo of it. Kind of dangerous if it is not used with care

red bean and grass jelly ice at Hui Sing Hawker stall...you won't want to drink this after you try the one at Swee Kang

another drink at Hui Sing there...White Lady...it sucks!

the infamous Hap Chen Hian pork and chicken satay

50 cents per stick. I prefer the pork one more than the chicken. Not bad.

Ginger Pork Rice RM5.50 at Shan City Pan Mee

look at the generous portion of the pork...it's not the angle problem, in fact they really served it that way...

Dose of the day: 从跌到中爬起来的日子, 最快乐!

Not a good Friday

A disappointing Friday at work.

Sometimes when I develop such disappointing mood, thank goodness there's friend who pop out and chat with me.

Although the topic may not related with my problem, I feel better after chatting with them. I try to think everything in a positive way all the time, this time I could not do so. I'm not the first who have such situation at work. There are 2 peoples (or more whom I may not know) really think like me. If there is a chance, I highly recommend anyone please do not come my place to work nor undergo their internship here. Horrible place isn't it? Indeed. You'll know if you come here.

Anticipating a better weekend!

13 weeks to end the nightmare.


Dose of the day: 机会错过了一次, 别让自己错过第二次....

DIY

1. Craving for some chewsome and bouncy Taro/Sweet Potato/Sesame Balls from Snowflakes!

Randomly I searched for the balls recipe and the results displayed that it is not complicated to do it.

Luckily still left one and only one sweet potato in the kitchen. Phew~

Steam the peeled off sweet potato until soft and mashed it.

Convenient pack of Sweet Grass Jelly. I cut it into coin pieces and my sis shouted Wow....Black Japanese Tofu!

A gift from the sea...Sea bird nest bought from Sabah

This natural seaweed is said to be rich in collagen!

Boil  pandan water to make syrup

May's dessert creation

Sweet potato balls. grass jelly and sea bird nest in pandan syrup (brown sugar as healthier sweetener)

**but the sweet potato balls were a failure since they turned out to be not chewy at all. I should have added more tapioca starch instead!**

2. Saw a shared post of a butter cake baked in rice cooker and my interest in attempting to do it pop out.

Before baking in cooker (the almond flakes was over-toasted lol)

anxiously waiting...

after 45 minutes it appeared to be like this (oops the burned almond flakes)

Butter Cake topped with almond

my skills has to be further improved...the texture and the height

since then I think I will opt for the cooker to bake cake since the oven at my home kitchen is old and output of the foods after baking often turns out rather dried and tough

Glad that someone complimented that my Lemon white shoes and turquoise bag (bought at Times Square) are nice. My taste isn't that bad after all. LOL. 

Oh I miss shopping in KL.
