pre-wedding food tasting... glorious food...

my sister's wedding was held early this month in Kuching, so before that, we had a food tasting dinner to sample the dishes to be served on the actual date at Lok Thian Restaurant...

the appetizer - got drunken chicken, octopus, fried eggs /w crab meat and jelly fish...

Salad Prawn

Shark Fin Soup...

Suckling Piglet, so crispy the skin... and meat very the juicy & tender... ^__^

Rosemary Sauce Chicken, this is teh good... should have ordered extra rice to go with the meat & sauce...

very creative dish... Stewed Duck /w BBQ Pork inside...

that night eat meat until can die... bet everyone got back with very high protein overdose...

how come dad looked abit lost and not smiling one??? -___-'

assorted food snaps IV...

went to this kopitiam - 芳圆茶室 for lunch on Saturday... the place is famous for its Char Siew (叉烧), and Steamed Chicken (白斬雞)...

the place was, as usual packed to the brim... and we had to wait for 30+ minutes (!!!) before the food was served...

but it's worth the wait... I think this shot did no justice to the amount of orgasmic feeling these fatty pork meat gave our taste buds... ^___^

the 白斬雞 was good as well... right amount of tenderness...

new toy for the camera II [edited]

got this new Phottix battery grip for my 1000D at a cheap a couple of days ago...

**damn happy... :)

and then this Matin camera grip arrived yesterday afternoon...

**double happiness... XD

not only it's a camera grip, it acts as a camera stand... ^__^ ... hansem or not liddat??

next up: a shoe mount flash...

assorted snapshots VIII

a few thousands worth of SK-II products... birthday present from Han & his bros to their mum...

Seafood Spaghetti @ Basaga ... very the delicious... ^__^

the stall that the youth division of Kwong Wai Siew Association (广惠肇公会) rented to raise fund during the Moon Cake Festival at Carpenter Street... I was there to help out after the Basaga dinner...

took a shot at the car's dashboard from outside...

and this picture is now my signature in all forums that I'm a member of... heh... XD

assorted snapshots VII

fish & chips that I ordered for dinner at Basaga... very delicious...

took a shot with the wide angle lens adapter inside The Spring...

and Liew keep on poisoning me & Daniel with his new love... the iPhone 3GS... >__<'

another close up shot at the Gundam Mobile Suit ORX-005 GAPLANT TR-5...

new toy for the camera...

got this macro/wide angle lens converter a couple of weeks ago for the camera...

test shot at the Kuching waterfront - the new DUN

had dinner at Basaga...

black moon cake...

a close up shot of a Caterpillar model on display at Barney's toy shop...

and last but not least... I know you three... As-X, Lion, and Daniel are gonna like... heh...

a close-up of some cute anime character... hahaha... XD...

can pass or not??

assorted food snaps III

look at the size of them prawns... how can you not drool over such a presentation of Sarawakian's no.1 choice of breakfast??

I dare say that the laksa aunty of Mei Mei Kopitiam (opposite the snooker centre) at Chong Lin serves the best laksa in town... the ones at Golden Arch, Chong Choon and Choon Hui don't even come close... all overpriced & not nice one...

assorted food snaps II

the Cantonese Cafe (广东茶室) located along Jalan Ang Cheng Ho serves the best friend rice in Kuching... even at RM6 per plate, it is worth every cent... the only problem is that they take their sweet time to cook... sometimes up to 20 minutes still haven't arrive... -___-'...

but I guess good stuff are worth the wait eh??

the rice with curry mutton by Planet Amore Diner, located at the 3rd mile Golden Arch building... the carbohydrate was just typical, but the meat was well cooked, tender and not too soft, plus plenty of lamb lard/tendon... *yummsss*

The Junk's signature Lamb Shank... what more can I say??

and last but not least...

got this Morinaga Bitter chocolate from Jo after she came back her holiday...

car keys... trying some macro shots...

I noticed that my car odometer stopped at 7777km when I reached my parking spot in the office the other day...

bought Magnum4D after that... didn't kena... came out "3777" (Special - RM200) instead...

wtfknnbbqsauce... ^%&*($@D~!!!

opening of SOUL IS@the Park

together with the usual clubbing kakis, we were invited by the owner of Terminal ONE and Lounge II to attend the opening of their new French Fine Dining place on September 5...

SOUL IS@the Park is the name, and it's located right next to the infamous T1 downtown. It has two floors, with very unique water featured design inside... very zen and soothing...

the buffet was French themed, and there was free flow beer until 930pm.

I think we had around 10 bottles each... *hick...*

SOUL IS@the Park tissue box...

I dunno what's this French dessert called, but tasted really good...

SOUL IS@the Park is officially opened for business...

thanks for including me in the guest list for the opening ceremony, and I hope business keeps getting better for both restaurant and clubs...

28 liaw... closing in to the big 3... WTF...

got lotsa birthday wishes from family and friends via all sorts of means, be it directly, via phone calls, smses or facebook... many thanks...

the initial plan was just to hang out at Starbucks for some coffee and chill with Jo and Dan, but eventually the venue was changed to Lounge II...

Grey Goose Vodka was chosen as the drink for the night... plus a complimentary jug of Heinekan draft from the lounge's taukeh - Ah Jack...

my pley-zen that night... a good mix with Sprite though...

me, Daniel & Jo...

Daniel, Liew, Candy & me...

me wiith pretty lady... told you so As-X... nyek nyek nyek... :P

and nope, I didn't get drunk... just abit on the high side... it was a memorable night though... thanks to all... :)

dinner at Islamic Cafe...

I heard about the good food that Islamic Cafe serves ages ago... but never knew exactly where until Alex brought me there for some supper... a great place for some really tasty, aromatic and very reasonably priced food...

anyway, here are some of the pictures that I took when I went there with Dan, and I brought along my new toy... hehehehe...

the Tandoori Chicken... a must order for me...

Daniel ordered the Curry Mutton... I tried some... *slurpsss*....

the Mee Goreng that we ordered... taste good, but I had to order extra ice coffee after finishing mine... coz I think the chef thought that I could tolerate a lot of spices and chillies... wtf -_____-'
