....heaven's door or the gates of hell? Eh, we don't want to talk about that destination lah. Live each day the best that I can. Actually I am thinking more along the lines of one step closer to....senior citizen status!
Yeah! Special counter at the bank. Special public transport rates. Special discounts at buffets wahahaha!!!
So anyway. I spent a lot of some money on myself that day (this happened last month by the way). So what, right? Like what my late grandma used to say, it's better to burn money on yourself while you are still alive rather than have people burn paper money on your when you are dead.
Lunch!
After reading about Lina's Masak Lemak lunch, I also wanted to eat masak lemak. Luckily for me I found masak lemak at Nasi Kukus Lejen@Damansara Uptown.
Since it was my special day, I deserve a Coconut Shake.
My Masak Lemak Daging Salai craving about to be satisfied.
Mmmmm...looks and smells good!
Podehnya mak oi! Very spicy hot, oh my goodness but oh so good! The coconut shake helped cool things off, phew!
I was very satisfied with my lunch. Total RM15.00, eh quite cheap leh.
Then later in the afternoon .....
I had to have a piece of cake. What's a birthday without cake?
Chocolate Caramel Cake and an Americano.
The cake was very nice, not too sweet at all. Went so well with the coffee. The Good Batch serves pretty awesome coffee and since they are currently having a teatime promotion, the coffee was complimentary.
Just as well because the cake itself was RM15.00++ Total damage RM17.40.
Right after that I went to my favorite place at the mall.
Wahahaha!!! My birthday lah. I can eat anything that I want. The Sanum (RM17.85) - kiwi fruit, strawberry, dragonfruit, crushed oreo, mini cookies and cookie sauce. The cookie sauce tasted like. ....well, cookies. I love cookies but I didn't like the cookie sauce.
Then I treated myself to a movie (RM18.00). Why this one? Because after all the sugar I consumed, I needed a kick ass movie to keep me awake.
Let's see how much I spent on myself that day - Nasi Kukus Lejen (RM15.00)+The Good Batch (RM17.40)+IlaoIlao (RM17.85)+MBO (RM18.00) = RM68.25. See, less that RM100.00. Haji Bakhil would have approved, but maybe not heh..heh...
And then my partner took me out to dinner hee...hee...
At the good old place - The Ship! Because he knows his old girl loves her goobak (beef).
His. Chicken Chop.
Hers. Charbroiled Sirloin Steak.
And a Banana Split for dessert.
Then I noticed even The Ship has jumped on the bubble tea train.
So there you have it, my whole day of eating on my birthday. It was probably much better than last year but not as good as the year before that. But still. Happy Birthday to me!
Happy birthday! I wish you abundance of joy, happiness and love, you truly deserve it.
ReplyDeleteWah it's nice to give give yourself a lovely treat.

Deletewah….that's a whole-day-eating birthday! anyway, Happy Belated Birthday to you PH! may u be blessed with good appetite and enjoy more foods in the coming years ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear! My appetite will always be good hee..hee..
DeleteHappy Birthday Ah Hong Chee! How could you celebrate alone?? I would have treated you to sumptuous breakfast, hearty lunch and buffet dinner with lots of balloons and trumpet blowing.
ReplyDeleteI am busy selling Nirvana packages now that is essential before arriving at your destination. Lolol
Thank you, TM! I am very much a loner, I like doing stuff alone!
DeleteOh...yes I have been approached by sales people on that before hee..hee...
You are right ph to say one year older we are closer to heaven or maybe hell but what the heck, don't think too much lah and play by day, i want the coconut shake!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday ph, may you enjoy abundant health and happiness.
Thank you, Libby! I will continue to enjoy my food LOL!
DeleteIt was your birthday, dear (happy birthday)....you can have anything your little heart desires! ;) Just when you think you're taking a step closer to senior citizen status...they upped it to 60...and now they're studying to increase it to 65 pulak! >_< So it might be a long wait for your senior goodies...wuahahahaha! :D
ReplyDeleteDid you split the banana split with your lahling? :O Your partner is very old school with The Ship. Try to persuade him to go to Victoria Station next time (still old school but at least tastes better than The Ship in my opinion). I believe there is one near you.
Thank you Kris for your wishes! 65? Another 13 years? Drat! LOL!
DeleteOh yes, we shared the banana split hee..hee.. OK, next year we will go to Victoria Station. I believe the closest one to me is in Damansara Heights.
Happy belated birthday to you! Yes, do use and eat as much as you can while you still can. Good to hear that you enjoyed all the meals except for a tiny bit (the sauce that you don't like).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun! I will always enjoy my food hee..hee.
DeleteHappy Birthday PH *throw confetti
ReplyDeleteI thought masak lemak is not a spicy dish o.O
Oh Rambo~~ My hubby was so shocked that he still playing the Rambo character even he's so old now :P
Thank you, Choi Yen! Ya lor, Stallone is so old already and still wanna Rambo. LOL!
DeletePH, firstly.. Happy Birthday!! Still too young to join the senior group la... long way to go! Secondly, I agree with your grandmama.. that is why I am doing what she told you too.. Enjoy and pamper ourselves, money enough sudah! No need to take along with us next time... LOL.. .
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claire! Too young, eh? Wah..I feel so terangkat! LOL! Yes, must pamper ourselves every now and then :)
DeleteWhich Ship was this? The one at Bukit Bintang is so dark, cannot even see one's nose, much less the food. Impossible to take nice pics.
ReplyDeleteYou're ONLY 52? So young! Aiyor....don't worry, I'm 67, a lot closer to wherever I'll be going!!!
Aha!!! You had your yogurt ice cream again. You do enjoy it, eh? Maybe with all the syrup and whatever add-on, I would enjoy it better. Cake looks really good!
This one is at Damansara Uptown, near my office. They used to be very dark but now they are lighted up. Maybe a few people tripped or something LOL!
Delete52 still young, eh? hee..hee.. I am walking on could 9! LOL! I think it is important to be young at heart, just like you!
Happy belated birthday to you, Phong Hong! That was a wonderful way to spend your birthday, giving yourself a good treat, pampering and enjoying the food you like. You are still young, long way to go to reach senior citizen. I want that coconut shake and chocolate cake!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy! My fantasy is that when I go for the senior citizen goodies, they ask to check my IC. wahahahaha!!
DeleteHappy happy belated birthday to you PH! What a lovely way to spend your special day. Blessed wishes for the year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear!
DeleteI don't know why, but I would never have guessed 52! In my mind, you are early 30s. Congrats and many happy returns.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am on cloud 9 hee..hee...
