Go Team Ida & Tania

I just finished watching the TARA 3. Wow it was really a fun show today.

Ida & Tania were so funny....

Thus I have decided to root for them.. hope they reach the final.

Should I, Should I Not

The question is should I forgive you, should I not...

My heart says yes forgive him but my mind said no. For what you made me go through over the summer...I really should not... maybe I should make you work for my forgiveness. But then again you only need to smile, and I turn clay in your hands...

Your silky skills.... my oh my... should I, should I not.....

Break Fast Gathering II @ Cik Ju’s

September 13, 2008

Just like last week, we had another gathering for break fast on Saturday. This time it is at Cik Ju’s. Yes Dada, there were loads and loads of home cooked food. Har – har

Here are some pictures…

And as requested I bought my big giant lasagna again. And again it was finished by the end of the day.

And as before, we gather to catch up with what’s happening, though this time round, there were a couple of hot topics being discussed being our annual family day, the grocery list for Raya and what color should we pick for Dada’s wedding. I think we sort of agreed with green and purple.

Hmm maybe I should run a poll here as to what color should it be, as soon as I figure out how to put it in my blog that it.

The Art of Eating Buffet

One of the many things that happen during Ramadhan is the introduction of Ramadhan Buffet at most of the hotels and restaurants around KL.

Like always I am one of those who would at least go to one or two of them to try the food and over the years it has become almost an annual event for my good friend Muzi and me to go to one of them. This year we choose the one served at One World Hotel.

Yippee my friend Muzi agreed to accompany me

Me so happy

It was rather pricey (RM98+++) compared to other places. It appears that this year the price for buffets has gone down a little bit. Only a little!!!!!!

The spread was rather good. They had a couple stations with different type of food. They had the lamb station where they had one whole BBQ lamb served with Baryani Rice and roasted vegetables. There was the salad station where they served a variety of salads, Thai salads, Malaysian Rojak, Ceaser Salads, and many others.

They had a Japanese Station, some noodle and lok lok station, Italian station, dessert station which includes a chocolate fountain.

The hotels gave us some sweet to bring back as well

Aren't these gifts pretty?

Over the years we have developed an art of eating buffet. You got to make your money’s worth right????

The secret is actually rather simple. Just go for the most expensive food you may find for example oysters (the more the better), sushi, salmon sashimi, lamb, prawns, crabs... you get the idea. It’s the most obvious right? it was not a secret at all.

Oyster & Lamb & Baryani

Prawns & more prawns

After you finished with the main course, you simply cannot miss the dessert. Here are some that I had….

The tarik anyone?

Cats Galore at Cik Ji's

My mum and I went to my Auntie’s house last weekend to discuss some catering arrangement for my sis’s engagement party.

Whilst waiting for her to get ready, I sat at the living room surrounded my many fat cats.

Could not help myself, took some pictures, they were so cute.

According to my Uncle each of the 13 or 14 cats they have, have their own name. Unfortunately I do not know all…….

Lasagna, lasagna, big giant lasagna

Hmm I am so in love with the fasting month. Amongst other because this is the month when I get to gather and meet up with my extended family almost every weekend.

It has been a tradition of ours to gather on the weekend for to break fast together. After that we will hold the “Maghrib”. “Terawih” & “Ishyak” Prayers together. Then we will continue eating, well some of us anyways. Whilst others would just chit chat, some to catch up with gossips ehmm updates I mean, whilst others probably hatching up some devious plans.

Mum on her 3rd round

Gossips gossips and more gossips and add a devious plan or two

The uncles would not want to be left out would they, so they decide to have one of their own as well

Usually as it is a customs here, when we go to someone’s house we will not go empty handed. Usually we would try to bring something. For many many years, I would be bringing fruits and things that I bought from any of the many stalls mushrooming up during the fasting month

But of late, most of the time I will try to bring something which I made. Today I decided to make lasagna. It was really a huge lasagna. It took 4 people to turn it in the oven.

It turns out to be a hit that I was asked by my aunt to make the same lasagna for her house next week. Yeay me so happy.

Here’s the picture or what’s left of it and as informed by a little bird, an hour after the picture was taken, it was all finished.

Some of the other offering we had during the break fast

I am at home now... sick... Me no likey!!!!!
