ABC Soup

Posted by CS

My wife pregnant for ~7 months and we start to cook ourselves for the dinner to ensure balance food for both baby and mummy.

Last weekend, we plan to prepare the ABC soup, (not Ais Batu Campur la)... is ABC soup...

What is that? I dun know..... is a mixture of few vege and meat. Dun know why they call this as ABC soup... may be this is a mixture of too many vege on one bowl.. :P

So we went to LipSin market to get the ingredient such as corn, potato, tomato, carrot, and onion. Of course, we need to get some pork for it.

The funny thing happen when we go to get the pork... here is the conversation...

Antie: How much u wan??

Me: I dun know.... :~(

Autie: What do u wan it for?

Me: Cook soup...

Autie: For how many person?

Me: 2 person

Autie: How many times?

Me: One time

Autie: "Ho Yee No Ko Bak Kut"... (give him 2 riggit bone)

Nothing funny right?.... but U didn't see the weird smile from all the butchers,and those customers... All of them looking at us.......they laugh at our conversation.....So embarassing... :(

Me first time ma... dun know ma......

But this is the soup we come out with.... look yummy or not?



It looks yummmy and taste yummy too.... yum yum........

RM2 Sushi Hunt

Posted by CS

Such a stingy person like me.. won't let go any chances of getting cheap offer and discount...
again another round of sushi king RM2 offer... I didn't miss any one of their offer.. including this round... I am not a sushi lover before I know my wife....She like sushi a lot and I get influenced.. and here I am,.. another sushi lover.

We get there quite late ~6.30pm and there are tons of people blocking the whole entrance and the weather is very hot. My wife is suffering.. since she is pregnant.. Long wait for food is not good for her and baby as well..



Luckily we've taken bread before get here expecting on the long queue. After 1hr of waiting, we managed to get in and get our food.

I am lucky enough to see my fren (the sushi king's chef) on duty. haha... can take advantage to get my favourite dish without having to wait... :P

But I feel not comfortable as a lot of ppl staring at me as I got special service.. as they have to wait to get their favourite dish.. but I don't.. :P






We din accomplish much this round as my wife is not advisable to comsume the raw food. We only select the cook one for her. But I take those raw one...

Poor little cook.. need to work hard to feed us...

Sweet corn is one of our favourite, for me and my wife. We like to buy some for our tea time or supper.. There are locals and foreigns. We prefer the Taiwanese type as it is more juicy...

This is what I had bought from TESCO and we plan to get ourself our sweet corn. How to get it done... hehehe... simple la... peel of the leaves and put them in the boilt water like this....



Simple right?.. And need to add some salt to the boiling water as well...

Team Building Q1 2008

Posted by CS

It had been a while since I went for another project in other building. And the relationship between me and the teammates doesn't seems close enough. There are few new comers that join our team who I rarely deal with.

The teambuilding is the activities that helps to pull everyone together, chat, play, share, and enjoy. We will get to know each other more.. And me.. I talk a lot. Non-stop one... so most of the time... I talk craps and jokes a lot...

And the teambuidling did serve its purpose this round. We went for the Spice Garden at Tanjung Bunga at the morning. We have our breakfast at a perfect sea view platform in the Spice Gardem who charge us RM5.

Here is the place where we had our nasi lemak and tea. Nice view and feel so relaxing. Having nasi lemak with enjoying the beautiful scenery. But too bad.. the poor photo shooting skill killed it.




After the yummy nasi lemak, we proceed to our spice garden tour without tour guide. The public relation personel did approach us during breakfast and as if we wanted to have tour guide on the garden tour.

Due to previous bad experience on the tropical fruit farm on previous team building, where the tour guide can tell us a 15 min story on durian tree or corn. So we felt very boring. So this round, we turned it down.

So we went to walk around the garden and read the intro about certain herbs and spice written on the notice beside those plants. And it is very boring, but yet very challenging, you need to walk uphill, down hill, cross bridges, ponds, small river, gates... and many more. The air is very fresh and make us so refreshing.

We forgot about our work, calls, timeline, projects updates, weekly report.. almost everything.... We enjoy the garden walk so much.

But we regret about our decision of having NO Tour guide. As without the explanation, we had missed out a lot of hebs or spice which might be very useful under certain condition. I would suggest you to get a tour guide if you plan to pay a visit there.

Here are some photo I shot during the Garden Walk..

After the walk, we went for lunch at G-Hotel. Nothing much to tell about the food. I did only few photo shooting before we start our lunch as I am too hungry to grab all the food. Sorry.... hihi..

Food: Bake Sweet Potatoes

Posted by CS

My mum always told story about her time, when she is young, she and her family members need to work hard in order to support their family. Everyone need to work and most of them stop the study after primary school.

And the life at that time is terrible and they need to wake up early in the morning to go out with bike to get the food for the pig. Ya .. for pig and it is very early like 5-6am in the morning, ride in the dark and go to get the kangkung by the river side or beside paddy field.

Can you imagine how their life is? Appreciate on what you have now. I heard my mum said sometime they only have potatoes as their meal. Imagine!!!

Today, I just bought few baked potatoes from Jusco, QB Mall. I can smell them from far away. Those are from Japan and it is sweet potato. But I just too full to take it after paying (RM3.30 for 2 potatoes).

After I went home, my lovely wife help me (sorry.. shud say being forced :P) to peel off the skin and of course I eat la.. LoL..



The first one we have is so sweet and yummy, I love the taste. I can't hold myself to get the other one.



But it make me throw out after the first nite. OMG, the taste just yaksssss

I still can feel it now. :{

So overall the 1 potato (skinny one) cost me RM3.30... Too expensive... what a waste!!!

And now life change and standard of living improved. That's why we are willing to pay RM3.30 for a Japanese sweet potato instead of having to dig for potato ourselves last time.

Appreciate on what we have now......
