Happy or Sad???

Left 1 more paper in less than 22 hours,
Left less than 48 hours then I could have my dinner at Kuching
I'm so excited!

My 5th semester is near towards the end.
I know this semester will be one of the worst semester
Regardless of some failures and low score in tests
I start to find more of my way
I do care about my results, I do
But certainly up to some extent cause
I stop looking to notes and books when it's late at night and when I don't feel to do it
I found up there is more people out there care for their results too
At least to the extent more than I am
I'm that that competitive type of person
 
But I'm glad the time has finally come
Where I could throw away all the fussy notes and books
And most importantly,
Back to where I belong
The place where there is no loneliness and fear

The place that there are people that care for me

A taste of Pho Hoa (Vietnamese cuisine) , Hot & Roll at The Mines


My order:
 The famous Vietnamese Drip Coffee with Milk RM 5.50

But the portion is small...and the coffee is not that bitter cause I thought Vietnam coffee is more bitter



Pho Noodle Soup with meat balls & steak RM 11.50

Come together with the soup bowl are basil & bean sprout



 meat balls & steak



The soup bowl tastes great to me. Might go for second visit again. Not all restaurants that I would intend for second visits~

 

The chicken is so tender. When you eat it, the texture is like you are eating fish. I love the spring roll either. Vietnam is famous for the spring roll.

Before going back to UPM, I bought Hot & Roll for my dinner.


 Savoury Paratha Chicken & Cheese RM 3.90, complement with Giant Peach Yogurt RM 0.99 for dinner

Another stingy tofu post! From Seri Kembangan Pasar Malam





Well this time the stingy smell is a lot stronger than previous stall I spotted the other day. Good thing is the vegetarian words appear for the bunting. So vegetarian could try this out.




 5 piece at RM 3

with cabbage as accompaniment

Sadly, I was so anxious to try out the tofu but it turned up no more the third time for me. This stingy tofu is not as delicious as my previous visit at Cheras. I guess no more stingy tofu  at least for the next few months.

The buffet that I anticipated: Jogoya!!!

Think I'm rich enough to eat at Jogoya? 
Indeed it is expensive. Normal price RM  100 for a person. But I just could not resist the temptation of having a more quality foods with so much variety at a so call--classy place. I have been long to pay Jogoya a visit but it is rather difficult to find a good company and good reason until...




 

 

5th Anniversary Celebration 
LADIES 50% Off
Monday to Thursday (All Session) 
Friday (Lunch Session)
    • Valid till 15th Dec 2010
    • Valid for all meal period
    • Promotion only offer for ladies adult guest
    • Dining time is limit to 2 hours
    • Not valid with other promotions
    • Promotion not valid for public holiday
    • Subjected to 5% government tax and 10% service charge
Total damage RM 50.70 per person. Price for lunch is RM 78 and 15% additional charges. The Jogoya is smart enough. Why I said so because the 15% charge is entitled for the RM 78 but not after 50% discount! We wondered why a person is RM 50.70 after 50% off. This is how they count RM 39(50% for ladies, lunch= RM78/2=39) + RM 11.70 (RM78X15%=RM 11.70) =RM 50.70.



I'm just so excited to have all the seafoods, Haagen Dazz, New Zealand Natural ice-cream, and high quality foods but too bad my stomach is too small for all these...

 I knew not everyone could eat raw foods. But if u don't eat raw foods, please never pay a visit to Jogoya. It won't worth at all.


 Oyster!!! with wedges of lemon

my favorite: mussels and scallop


 Chocolate Fondue

 New Zealand Natural Ice-cream. I personally think that New Zealand Natural Ice-cream nicer than Haagen Dazz.


All time favourite: Tiramisu

American Chocolate, Blueberry Cheese & Mocha Chocolate




 
Chocolate Mint & Blueberry Mousse

I did not ate only those illustrated above. I had more than that. Since all the pictures were taken by my friend and her camera, I took all the photos from her Facebook album. She only posted a few of them so...

I had Shark Fin, Sashimi, Cat Fish, Sushi(honestly Jogoya Sushi SUCKS), Salmon, Chickens....and many more raw thingy but I just could not remember the name and actually I didn't even know exactly what I had. I just put any appealing foods into my mouth until it became fully loaded.

As a food student, I knew that I had eaten much foods containing

CHOLESTROL
MICROORGANISMS

It was too risky as there are so much toxins and harmful contaminants for the seafood and foods that exposed to air for long. I'm sorry to my stomach. But it just once in a blue moon only.

No more Jogoya. I'm satisfied because I got the experience. I just love venturing out for F.O.O.D.S

Stingy Tofu, Cheras Pasar Malam

Finally I tried the Stingy Tofu at the Cheras Pasar Malam, the biggest and longest Pasar Malam in Malaysia, open every Wednesday

There would be a long queue in front of the stall all the time. The tofu was crunchy and delicious. Merely it smells bad. But that time when I bought it, the' longkang' drain smell was not that strong. I hardly smell the stingy ordor when I queue at the stall because people always said you could smell the stingy smell  from far~

Sorry no picture for it. 4 small pieces of stingy tofu price RM 2.50. Actually it was a piece of tofu cut into 4 small pieces. See how profitable the business is?

The Paddington House of Pancakes, Mid Valley



The reason I went to the restaurant was there was an assignment, a visit to a restaurant and d a presentation all about the restaurant, the food, price, ambience, and everything

So, Paddington Pancake House is chosen, due to the ease of accessibility from UPM





There was 4 of us. We ordered 2 main course for sharing.


Lamb shoulder. The lamb tasted great. So marvellous. I loved it to the max. The mint sauce was nice and the side veggies was so perfect. But the price is kind of expensive. Below RM 40 if not mistaken.

Zurich. Salmon thingy. But sad to say the salmon portion was way too little! The salmon itself is the main course but the portion was better to call of appetizer.





1. Russian pancake, Blintzes topped with whipped cheese, raisins, dried pineapple, appricot & vanilla ice cream
  Cheese Blintzes...Love it cause got cheese inside

 2. Chocolate and peanut butter roll, forgot the exact name since I had it 2 months ago. Nice but since it is chocolate and peanut, there was nothing special on it.

3.coven pancake with mix fruit, freshly baked upon order, requires 30 minutes wait, big enough for sharing.


comment: this dessert came lasts, and the pancake tasted eggy, not really nice. highly advisable to think twice before ordering. It requires 30 minutes waiting time.




 4. forgot what was it. But there were lots of peaches.


5. Treasure box with lots of Dollar Pancakes


Total damage: RM 47 each for 4 of us. Expensive, since every pancake order priced around RM 20 above. I would come back for the lamb but not for the pancakes, mainly it is because pancakes is not a staple foods for Asian like me, and you would not crave more for pancakes.

Life go on no matter what

Last week was a horrible week
slept for less than 4 hours for several days
for Food Fair UPM 2010 in food exhibition and banquet dinner


although my sacrifire wasn't generous enough and solely a small case as compare to others
at least I managed to find a liitle of my way
what I am looking through in my life
Chemistry test was a total disaster
Test 2 results was kind of disappointing
Somehow I think it wasn't worth to get those results as I personally did work hard for them
But always life was not as perfect as what we always think and want it to be

Academic results are not going to determined your bright future
But the personality and passion towards the career determines what your life would be
Although I have to admit I am not an excellent student that study repeatedly, continuously and consistently,
I am not the top ranking of my course
Because I think that knowledge and the attitude towards life and work matters most in my mind
I don't envy those who score well in the academic
However I admire those who have the right skills and attitude towards their life
I start to see those that I particularly ignore previously

Assignments and presentation take much of my time for these 2 weeks
I hope that the torturing exam months will pass as soon as possible
Be enthusiastic and passionate!

Maci at Petaling Street & late lunch at Sushi Station

Bumped into a Maci stall at Petaling Street! Oh ya, my favourite Maci. So I decided to try it out~



Got variety of flavors, namely Original, Green Tea, Ribena, Lychee, Pineapple, Black sesame, Black Glutinous Rice and Mango.


A box selling at RM5


Ermmm, the aunty that sells the maci said that her maci won't stick on teeth and very delicious. But for me, I prefer the maci sold at Pasar Malam Seri Kembangan. I don't really like the Ribena and Lychee maci. Original tasted better. Since a box of RM5, I recommended of sharing with 2 or 3 friends, because I felt want to vomit even sharing with CK.

After wandered around Petaling Street, Times Square & Sungei Wang, went to Sushi Station for a late lunch. I can't recall how many times I had visited this place so far, since it is affordable and the choices are more suitable for locals like me~ hehe...


Tempura Rice with eggs. RM 10.80

My lunch Herbal Steamed chicken with Rice and Egg. RM 6.80.

The food there is just on average. Just the price appeals to me~

Went to Fahrenheit 88 and bought a sandals at The Viss.

Went to Pavillion just to try the famous Snowflakes, but we spent so much time finding the Snowflakes. At last we found it, but the queue was killing my passion to eat. Finally, we left Pavillion with disappointed mood, however, Snowflakes, I will sure try it one time in the future~

Randomly

One day I came across with some meaningful sentences,


不是某人使我烦恼, 而是我拿某人的言行来烦恼自己.

宁可自己去原谅别人,莫等人来原谅自己.

若你想要拥有完美无暇的友谊,可能一辈子找不到朋友.


Have you figure it out the deepest meaning?
得不到的东西, 我们会一直认为他是美好的, 那是因为你对他了解太少, 没有时间与他相处在一起. 当有一天,你深入了解后,你会发现原不是你想象中的美好.
