Kin No Uma

Last Saturday, we were invited to join Senapang & Frank to check out Kin No Uma at Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel, Sri Kembangan. Its a Japanese restaurant serving buffet. WHY we choose to go? Ha! ha! Because there's a 40% off voucher.. So its about RM55/pax.

1st impression, waaaa so nice ah this hotel. Hello cannot blame me lah, its my 1st time to the hotel. Its beautiful..then we find our way to the restaurant. Called Senapang, he's sitting outside. OK lah no good, he made reservation few days before but his name was not in the list. Well who's fault is it? U tell me :)

This is where we eat. Nice?

Without wasting anytime Mangkee went to take food. I had a lot of tempura prawns cause its fresh and crunchy! YUMMY! I also tried out Sashimi for the 1st time, its good. The cooked food selection is not much and its not really tasty. Cannot grill own Yakitori :( The one they made was too cooked and dry. No shiock!

No, this is not Mangkee. This is Senapang muching his food

YUMMY Tempura! Not the oyster!

Wait a minute... I haven't tell you about the drinks and dessert. Drinks selection not much, coffee so-so only. Dessert wise- lotsa delicious cakes and kuih-muih. Fresh cut fruits. I had a few kiwi. What else? You can make your own ABC (Ais Kacang) and scoop dozens of ice cream. BURPZzz!

Can You Keep A Secret?

Oh hey hi... hello.. Can You Keep A Secret?

Not sure if you fancy reading but I am *at times* ... I've just finished reading this book named Can You Keep A Secret written by Sophie Kinsella. Its about a girl name Emma who met a stranger name Jack Harper on the plane. And she told him everything about herself and the story goes on.. I love the story. Emma has a down-to-earth character although she might be "kan cheong" at times. She's lucky to have Lissy as her best friend and Jack Harper really melt my heart..ha! ha! ha! Cannot blame me OK; which girls doesn't like a guy shower her with her fav. things and arrange for a perfect date!

3 weeks after...

It's been 3 weeks after our wedding. Am happy to be in the Yeow family and certainly hope everything will be good. Errr...YES, you can call Tracy :p feels younger mah .. *blueks*

Everything seems to be back to normal now. hak! hak! hak! Normal means work-eat-sleep-work- lah. What else? Nothing to look forward for and the best part is we actually took approx. 1yr to prepare for the wedding and *blink* it only took 1 day to finish the entire celebration. lolz! Not that I want a long wedding lah hello.. penat tau, but its just *blink* and blank. Hmm, its time to think of something or plan for something...meet up with old buddies? baking? cooking? sewing? gardening?

OK back to the wedding. It was great and everybody had fun. Also felt guilty for not having enough time with families and friends. AND ALSO DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO MUNCH THE WEDDING DINNER! Dengz, I should have ask them to pack whatever is for me and Mangkee. Wasted! lolz... Just gotta look pretty and act innocent.. for those who know me for years haha! they know am not the innocent type especially when am wearing the gown!

Would like to thanked everyone for taking part and attending our wedding. Also thanks to my friends who bring us pretty gifts.

03.09.2008

Our Delivery of Bethrothal Gifts ("GDL") OR you may call it dowry day, was set on 03.09.2008.Both of us took 2 days off apart from the Merdeka public holidays to prepare the necessary. I went back to my parents house few days earlier to kick starts everything. Dad was the excited one when it comes to packing/wrapping. Don't play play OK~my papa has good skill. We prepared 3 baskets in total. 1st basket was done on 31.08.08.

2nd basket & 3rd basket was done 1 night before the GDL. Dad ordered 2 big "fatt gou" which means super big luck to both family and the newly weds. ha! ha! YES " 8 8 8 8 ". I'm lucky cause dad is not only good in wrapping but also good in buying stuff. See the fruits he bought? Very colourful. Mom on the other hand has a very good cooking skill. Yea, my cooking skill is still far behind hers. Hope to inherit her skill someday...Err.... when am not LAZY lah..ha! ha!ha!

Before Mangkee reaches our place, dad went to take the roast pork from market and Mangkee carry it into the house when he reaches. The pork is HUGE! 65kg tau...But not as heavy as me lah. Aisheh.... Mangkee and his aunty reached our place approx 10am and bring along baskets containing lotsa goodies. After the prayer; we return some of the things from the baskets to Mangkee and dad cut the pork (middle part) and return the head and tail to Mangkee's side.

I went to Perth with mom back in September, 2005. It was around spring time if am not mistaken. The weather was cooling and windy. CLEAN AIR! Love it! WOW! It's almost 3years since I've been there. Fast eh! And that was my 1st overseas trip. Me and mom had fun visiting relatives, eating the fresh seafood especially the prawns and shopping.

It's just random and Wedding thingy....

Hmmm..let's see..its about 30days away from our wedding and NOTHING much has been done yet! muahaha... I wonder why everyone will starts to go on panic mode. So tell me; when did your panic mode was on during your wedding?

When myy mom in-law told me that I gotta bring flowers over on wedding day, Pureseed is the shop I think of. The florist where I order flowers from. I simply love their work and the team are very friendly. I think its worth paying for lovely work done by them. Why I said so? Take a look...

Flowers arrangement which will be place in our room
(I gave them my budget and requested for a custom arrangement)

Oh wai; it's been 2months since we moved back to in-laws house. Everything is good; especially when it come to food. You know~ breakfast & dinner is provided. But of cause we do miss the food outside. The furkids are enjoying their life. More space to run around and tea time is provided. Yeah; TEA TIME! CODY is NOT getting any slimmer. Now he walks like an old man! ha! ha! Oreo is on heat. So the lil woman is a cranky coz she has to be in cage most of the time. Tee~hee! I'll come back with more updates... be patients! Eh no food review lah hello~ Wait till the wedding is over ok? Muakssss....

Ahooo... am running outta time~

Oh no yeah; it's been a month since I last blogged. Senapang says this blog has fungus and ask me to do review soon. Review on food? I lupa snap pics. on the food I ate recently but can tell you the food is not really happening-lah. I have to jaga my food intake mah.. haiz.. so sien.

As I mentioned 1month ago; am still busy preparing for the wedding day. Started to send out invis; confirmed red wine order; check and check the to-do list; finalize the sitting arrangement & of cause meet up with my ji muis. Sarah actually calculated for me.. she reminded me that i have less than 55days before my wedding. ha! ha! yes; really running outta time not because of the stuff preparation but for the bride-to-be. She belum slim down lah.. tsk! tsk! tsk!

As for the furkids; they are doing good..very happy & healthy and LAZY to come over when I call them. Ish...

Oh yeah; finally received some pictures from the bridal shop. I've been posting it in my friendster-facebook-wedding site & now it's time to post it here ..muahahaha... Enjoy viewing & please don't come to me if you need any EYE-MO~ lolz....

Updates~whats happening around me?!?

Oh hello.. it's been a while since I last bla bla here.. hehe~ let's see what have I been doing for the past few weeks.

We were invited by Deron to attend Harrison & Gladys wedding at Kluang. We both had fun and I was honoured to be the emcee for the dinner. 1st time doing it; my hands were shaking and I had cold feet too. 1st part of the speech was bad ; 2nd part was OK. hehe BUT I HAD FUN! wooohoo; thanks again Deron & Gladys for having us there. May the newly weds be bless with babies soon.

Then we head back to KL to have dinner with my mom-in-law :) It was dumpling festival.

After all the celebrations; we started to plan about packing our stuffs. IT was only done 3days before mom-in-law told us she manage to get a lorry to load our stuff.. lolz! ya 3 days before; coz we freaked out when we see so many things. How to pack? What to pack? Where to start? What needs to be throw? All these strike our minds man... Moving house its not a good game. We had nightmare moving from the apartment to PUJ (Puncak Jalil). And now from this PUJ to parents in-law house (Subang, SS14). Wah liao..sweat I telling you. Doggies also move 3times liao; I think they also have phobia liao.. We actually freaked everyone at Subang house cause we have so many things. From toiletries-kitchen-living hall-bed room- work stations. Basically move back 1 house things to another. SO peeps; we are officially living with my parents in-law :) Well; apart from saving traveling time we also save few hundred bucks for food. hahaha.. yeah home cook food from now onwards. It's unpack and arranging stuff time now.. Let's hope everything will be done by end of this week. Sweat.. Then will be busy for wedding stuff. We have approximately 3months before the actual date.. Stay tune for more updates.

Here we want to thanked my lovely mom-in-law for arranging the lorry for us, thanked Mangkee's 6th uncle for helping us, thanked Mangkee's 7th uncle&aunty for lending us the hilux AND big thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Lee for helping us out.

Breakfast at Sea Park

Mangkee was having good mood last weekend. So, he took me to Sea Park for breakfast. Senapang been asking me to review about Restaurant Soo Kee months ago.

So here it is.. Let me introduce you to the best ever Ipoh Hor Fun. Don't need to drive all the way to Ipoh now. hehe... This is my 4th visit here. It's packed during the weekend; not sure how's the crowd on weekdays.

my foodie goodie rate: 10/10

See the yummy noodles?
Mangkee had Ipoh Hor Fun with shredded chicken; mine was with prawn wantan.


Boiled Chrysanthemum tea

The soup is sweet. By sweet I mean they boil the soup with pork bones and prawn "skeleton". Thats what my mom told me lah if want to have tasty soup... Mangkee is a walking MSG tester. HE will gulp a lot of water if the food has heavy MSG. He didn't ask for more water; so I guess its -MSG. You should try their chicken too. Its good. Check out KY's review on Soo Kee.

We paid RM12 for the meal. Oh yeah; simply delicious! BURPzz!

Next; Hasan's Rojak..mmmm sedap!! We ate this right after Soo Kee. I guess by now you'll figure out why we didn't lose any weight..ha! ha!

I told Mangkee about this kickass rojak. Hassan's rojak is parked outside the mini-market at Sea Park. Walking distance when you come back from Soo Kee. Around 30-40steps lah..Near right?

Its my first time asking permission to take pics. ha! ha! yeah normally I just pakai snap.

Me : Boss; saya ambik gambar ah! (Boss; I take pictures ah)
Boss: Ambik gambar untuk apa? (Why want to take pictures?)
Me : Saya mau kasi tau kawan saya you punya rojak sedap ooo..
(I want to tell my friends about your kickass rojak)
Boss: "_"

Mangkee ordered rojak with sotong. I love the fried coconut; its crunchy and good.
