wee...i likey~~!!

tine tine is so excited,
because mum called yesterday,
she wanna bring me to chiangmai =)

happy happy!!

so i guess i should really look forward in this coming few weeks,
because i'll be traveling around!!
1 euro trip substitute with few trips around Asia sounds great too,
and of course with some additional reward from parents *i'm such a lucky girl..appreciating*

really can't wait to end my exam, spend some time with pinky,
head back melaka for papa's anniversary *so fast one year d..sobsob*,
pack my bag and off we go to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
this is the 1st time i'm going to Thailand, that's why i'm so excited. huhu..




Tham Tap Tao Temple??

i have no idea what is the itinerary yet.
shall ask my mum and do some research on it.
hopefully they did allocate some shopping time..weee~~!!



cant wait to see all these beauties xD
.................................................................................................

after Chiang Mai, it's Myanmar's turn.
this is a family trip when the siblings get together and travel.
too bad 2nd bro's family couldn't make it.
if not i'm sure we'll have hell lot more fun with that little rascal Rayner in Myanmar.






many may think that "arg, these places..boring.."
but i think it's really a good way to look and feel the culture there.
sometimes, to appreciate the things that you have right now,
you have to just stop and stare for a moment.

should really bring my camera and make good use of it.
*hopefully bro willing to borrow me his, i'll be super happy, but with really slim chance!*
..................................................................................................

after Myanmar, it's our dearest Maya's wedding in Indonesia.
most of the classmates decided to join the wedding and give our blessing to her.
so we're flying off to Jogyakarta!!! all 16 of us.

besides attending her wedding at Merang, we also have a 2 days tour around Jogya.



borobudur temple



prambanan temple
.................................................................................................................

it's not the end yet.
sister's birthday is coming in June.
to celebrate upon completion of her foundation and soon stepping into the other phase of study,
mum decided to take one day off and bring us to the Singapore Universal Studio!!



although not all rides are open yet,
it's alright because
it's the matter of spending quality time with family right?
*but i guess my mum will be spending most of her time in the casino >.<*


huhu, what an eventful June waiting for me!!
2 more papers, and i'm FREE~~!!!!
getting all excited right now..
guess i'll have alot more things to blog after this.
stay tune~

taipei walker

after the kuchai lama food court was abolished,
it was replaced with rows of shoplots,
with alot of good food there.

i'll be finishing my degree in one week time,
putting the final exam aside,
the girls spared some time to gather,
to have a great dinner,
great chat and laugh..
with tonnes of pictures snapped,
memories captured.

it was hard to decide which restaurant to go.
kc and i are big fans of Gai gong bou 重庆鸡公褒,
but jcca's tummy is weaker than me,
so we better not take the risk to endanger her tummy.

so kc suggested Taipei Walker.
i wanted to try it for some time already since few of my friends gave good reviews on it.









they serve typical taiwan food,
if u're a taiwan food lover, u should give this Taipei Walker a try.

here comes our orders:



satay sauce mutton 沙茶羊肉饭 RM 12.90
every set meal comes with a bowl of rice, soup, pickle papaya and potato salad.

this mutton taste so good.
the meat was tender with acceptable mutton taste.
it's a great combination of satay sauce and mutton.
i personally think this is a must try when u visit Taipei Walker!
if u're a mutton lover lah..




satay sauce beef 沙茶牛肉饭 RM12.90

it taste something like the satay sauce mutton,
great combination too.



taiwan style sam pei chicken 台式三杯鸡饭 RM12.90

the sauce was very appetizing,
the amount of chicken they served was quite huge.
the chicken was well cooked,
the breast was not dry,
the meat was juicy.
just like any other sam pei chicken.



stewed chicken rice 卤鸡腿饭 RM12.90

i didn't try this.
but phy said it was good!
she said the sauce was very appetizing,
and was arguing with jc that hers was better than the sam pei chicken.
so i need not comment more on the tastiness.
not to forget the drumstick is damn huge!!



honey roasted chicken rice 蜜汁鸡腿饭 RM12.90

haha, ya it's roasted chicken but from the picture,
u can see it's actually bread crust fried chicken right??
we were also 0.o when the waiter served us this.

but it's ok,
the chicken taste good too.
i personally don't think that the sauce match the name of the dish.
it was not sweet and with strong taste of rice wine.
the chicken was great without the sauce..haha..
the taste of the sauce is too subjective to be judge whether it's good or not.
so do have a try if you wanna find out the exact taste of it =)



Yamba 芋圆+地瓜圆+珍珠 RM4.90

i am not sure of the taste,
but i think it's just so-so.

i still prefer snowflakes xD


after finishing all our food, we started camwhoring..





we definitely had a great time camwhoring..
hahaha..
we camwhored til phy's cam ran out of battery,
and mine was blinking already.

i think we took more than 300 of pictures during that night,
minus those deleted ones.
scary huh??
0.o
think so everybody is treasuring the last bit of the moment before we're apart, heading to our own destination.









these are some of the successful group pictures,
i think all of us looked great that night,
even though jcca may looked abit more tired because she just got off from work.

friendship is a chain of gold
shaped in God's all perfect mold

each linked a smile, a laugh, a tear

a grip of the hand, a word of cheer

as steadfast as the ages roll

binding chosen soul to soul

no matter how far, how heavy the road

sweet is the journey of Friendship's road


i'm gonna miss you guys.
for sure.

TIM BAN GOR GOR 甜品哥哥


it was a Tuesday,
and it was well known that Tuesday is Earthquake day in the Swenson's.
but it was kinda sad,
because they just terminated the promotion in May.
we only gotta know about it when we're in the shop,
and were informed by the staff there.
so, no luck for me =(

since we're already in SS2 area,
and we already had our dinner,
we decided to continue our dessert plan.
so we went to Tim Ban Gorgor 甜品哥哥 which was recommended by xs.

there is a huge varieties in Cantonese food culture,
one of them is their desserts.
it had become a must try item when you travel to hong kong.
lately, the sudden rise of a few dessert shops had created the trend in Malaysia too.
so one of them is Tim Ban Gorgor 甜品哥哥.




甜品哥哥 offers more than 150 types of desserts
so i was actually having hard time deciding which to choose.



if you can read chinese,
those in Whites are the famous ones serving in that shop.



the interior was ok,
nice ambiance ,
a great place to meet up with friends and chat the night away.



it was kinda sweet that they offer FOC water supply.
you can have as many cups of water as you like,
cold one, hot one, warm one,
your wish!
but, with self-service.

after flipping the menu for a few times,
we had finally made up our mind.




our orders..=)



bean curd dessert 山水豆腐花
RM3.50

and according to xs:
it was like the 1st bloom of spring melt in your mouth,
sending pulse racing to your brain,
stimulate all your senses,
indicating that this is that taste of
.................
pretty normal tau fu fa!
LOLs



sago with watermelon 西瓜西米露
RM5.00

while for this,
the watermelon taste fresh& juicy,
the sago was ok,
but the coconut milk taste horrible.
it taste like the pre-packed powder form santan.
it was definitely a huge disappointment for me
since i'm a fan of sago+coconut.
sorry to say,
but even pasar malam one is better =S



fresh milk stewed Hasma 雪蛤炖鲜奶
RM 13.00

and this,
frankly, i taste nothing but the smell of milk.
ya, fresh milk stew what,
what do you expect??
but i guess this is really nutritious and Hasma is good for health as well.
should ask WT whether she had a good night sleep that night xD




sago with kiwi 奇异果西米露
RM6.50

orh, this, JG only described it with one word
"Sour~~!!! >.<" haha, i guess it just taste like normal sago with additional of kiwi. but of course, kiwi = vitamin C JG had his whole week of vitamin C supply already.

red bean with ice cream 雪糕红豆冰
RM8.50

surprisingly, i find this good.
may be because it was served with Vanilla ice cream
*arg, anything for Vanilla ice cream..^.^*
the red bean was soft,
and it was not overly sweet.
i usually don't take sweet things at night because it'll make my throat itchy
and i'll end up sleepless the whole night.

and here comes the weird statement from Mr. XS again:
" red bean ice cream is perfect dessert for ladies that are having period.
why?
the reason is simple.
red bean help to produce red blood cell,
which most ladies donated alot during period,
2ndly, having period will create mood swing thus not happy,
so ice cream is known as happy food,
by eating it you'll feel happy,
unless you've tooth ache where you'll feel misery."

i was not having my period at that time ok!
=.="
but what do you think???

.........................................................................................................

besides these,
there are some desserts that are recommended by the chef.



*image grabbed from others*

mango pancake (芒果班戟)
RM 6.00 for 2
or


*image grabbed from others*

durian pancake (榴莲班戟)
RM7.00 for 2
*they claimed that they used only D42 durian for this*

we didn't try it that night
but xs tried them before,
he said they taste good!
you should probably give it a try when you pay your visit there.




WT & JG
thanks for the ride guys,
only realized you guys made a huge turn just to pick me up.



as usual, he's still bullying me =(
