My Not-So-Great New Year Eve Dinner

So fast ya...today is already the last day of 2020. To me it felt like 2020 just came and is almost gone. 

From Coleslaw to Fritters

Isn't it annoying when you have leftover vegetables? A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Usually these will wilt or go bad in my fridge and off to the compost bin they go. What a waste.

Air Fryer Fried Chicken

So last Sunday I was in experimental mode. I have seen Youtube videos of people making fried chicken in their air fryer. I just had to give it a go lah even though I already know that nothing beats fried chicken that has been deep fried in oil.

My Christmas Lunch

It's Christmas! Nothing special going on for me today. Come to think of it, what had I been doing for Christmas all these years?

Wishever

A new eatery has opened in Damansara Uptown. It is called Wishever.

My Air Fryer Finally Jalan

After my auntie shared the food she cooked using her air fryer I was very inspired. So last weekend I bought a few ingredients to experiment.

A&W : A Hit of Nostalgia

It was a very rainy Thursday evening when felt like experiencing A&W after, what, more than 30 years. Wow. 

Burnin Pit

Last Saturday my brother and I dropped by Steaks & Lobsters with the intention of tasting Rasa Gourmet's menu.

My Auntie's Air Fryer is Very Busy

My auntie found out that I bought an air fryer. A little bird in New Zealand tweeted to her.

My Flower

I have been feeling rather sluggish lately. So sluggish and no mood until I didn't bother to touch up my hair. Half my head was white ala quasi nenek kebayan.

Too Early, Too Bad

Before I get into the subject matter, let me start my cerita from the beginning. I was coming back from lunch when I passed by this banner.

Nothing New

It's the end of the year already. So fast right? Time used to go by a lot more slowly when I was young. That's how I feel anyway.

Last Friday : I Finally Baked A Cake

Not just any cake. Cotton Soft Japanese Cheesecake. That cake is so yesterday, right? Do I even remember how to bake?

Taiwan Braised Pork Rice & Dessert, Damansara Uptown

Last Saturday I worked. I had already planned on having lunch at the newly opened Restoran Taiwan Braised Pork Rice & Dessert simply because I wanted to try the desserts.

Makan Here Makan There

I have been bringing food to work but only for one meal so that I don't get bored. Besides I want to do my part to help the restaurants around Damansara Uptown and give them some business.

Last Sunday

Last Sunday I told myself to take it easy and not to do any time consuming food prep. It is always my dream to just kick off my shoes, call Grabfood, plonk down on the sofa and watch Netflix (while eating lunch) without a care in the world.

More Pretties From My Auntie

I can never get tired of looking at my auntie's blooms. Her flowers are all so gorgeous!

Kadei Yum Yum! (CLOSED)

Last Saturday my brother took me to Kadei by Manchula at Taman Megah. This shop lot used to be occupied by MyBanana, also a banana leaf establishment.

My Delicious Deep Fried Meatballs

I'll have to admit that fried meatballs are tastier than baked ones. They look a lot better too, all nice and golden brown. Don't you agree?

11.11 Buy What?

So. Did you go on a shopping frenzy on 11.11? In the past I never did 11.11 until last year.

Pretty Flowers on Monday

It's Monday. Ugh! I am sure we all need cheering up especially at a time like this.

Tasty Tuna Patties

Do these look like begedil to you? In a way they are a sort of begedil, made with canned tuna and potatoes.

Random Eats

It rains a lot in the evenings these days. I love the rain and it has a calming effect on me. Of course I only love the rain when I am indoors!

Yummy Savory Pancakes

I don't know why that day I craved for Korean pancakes. I had eaten one before via food delivery but I was not happy because the pancake was soggy by the time it got to me.

Belle Belle : A Hard Decision

When Belle came into my life, I knew it meant a new level of commitment, added responsibilities and the possibility of upsetting Girl.

Experiment, Experiment : Fried Stuffed Bittergourd

 

Does anyone like bittergourd? Me! Me! I can't say that it is a favorite but it is one of the vegetables that I will gladly eat with no issues.

Back on the Chap Fan Trail

 

Ahah! Somebody lazy to food prep is it? Well, sort of... actually I have decided to just prep one meal and the other meal, I eat out. That saves me time and effort. Now that I have two children cats, I find myself busier than ever.

A Most Beautiful Song

 

I don't know why I suddenly thought of Guantanamera by The Sandpipers.

Ma... It's My Turn...

I have been talking about Belle a lot lately, after all she is a new addition to the family. Ah Girl is feeling left out and was super sulky. She is in a much better mood now.

Kitchen Goheung Solaris Mont Kiara (via Grabfood)

 

I am on the food delivery trail again because I got curious about Kitchen Goheung Solaris Mont Kiara (non-halal) after reading about it here. 

Two Cats Double Headache

Two cats means two litter boxes, double order of cat litter,  double litter box duties, double cat food, double vet fees  and total takeover of my living room. 

Ganja Eggs (Addictive Eggs lah)

 

That's what Korean Mayak Eggs would be in our local lingo because "mayak" means addictive. After all there is such a thing as nasi ganja, so why not ganja eggs? 

Kimchi Stir Fry and Ah Girl is Angry with Me

This is another attempt to use up kimchi that has been fermenting in my fridge. It turned out rather delicious. To me lah hah..hah...

Sunday Food Prep

So. I went to 1 Utama again for my grocery shopping (and yes, I was first in the queue again. LOL!).

No Water, So We Went to Mr Fish

This was last Saturday evening when there was water disruption. My partner and I headed to Pho Vietz @ The Starling for dinner at 7:00pm but we were informed that the restaurant was closed for the day.

Hawo! My Name is Belle!

So this kitty cat made it to the vet and she is now clean and sweet smelling. But she gave the vet a hard time. Haiz....

Operasi Tangkap Kucing. MeowwwO!!!

Gotcha! I have been trying to get this kitty cat into the carrier so that I can take her to the vet. Not so easy. 

Mee Goreng Kimchi

I looked into my fridge last weekend and found that I still had a lot of kimchi. So I took out one container (which was half full) and opened it up.

Oh No. Another Kitty.

Haiz.... Lately God has been sending kitty cats my way. LOL! About a week ago I saw an orange cat outside my gate. I thought it was my cat because it looked similar.

It's the CMCO Again. So Sien.

Just when I thought that I might be able to go to the movies some time soon, the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) is upon us folks in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya (and you guys in Sabah). 

My Korean Inspired Rice Bowl

Last Sunday I did not go grocery shopping because 1 Utama mall was closed due to the discovery of four Covid-19 cases at its premises. It is very scary that the number of Covid-19 cases have escalated in recent times. 

Inside Ipoh Damansara Uptown

Among the new restaurants that have opened in Damansara Uptown/Damansara Utama during the RMCO is Inside Ipoh which I briefly mentioned in this post.

Can I Be Your Mommy?

Another kitty cat showed up at my house. It was dirty looking with matted fur and some lacerations on its limbs and parts of its body. But so cute nevertheless.

Mei By Fat Spoon

On our recent date nite, my partner and I went to Mei By Fat Spoon@The Hub SS2. Ah, finally something different from our usual haunts.

My 53rd Birthday. So Old Ah?

My birthday fell on Sunday and since I already had a celebration with my brother and my partner, there was nothing special on the cards on the actual day itself. Had it been a weekday, I would have treated myself to a nice lunch.

Pre-Birthday Dinner with My Lahling

After a scrumptious lunch with my brother, I had another pre-celebration with my partner. We were undecided where to go. Surely not Chili's again hah..hah.. 

Pre-Birthday Lunch : Steaks and Lobsters

It's somebody's birthday this month! heh..heh... So a celebration is in order. Must eat something special lah, eh!

Toban Djan Honey Chicken

My first introduction to toban djan (chilli bean sauce) was at Esquire Kitchen in Bangsar some years ago. It was a farewell lunch for a colleague, if I remember correctly. The toban djan was served as a dipping sauce.

Are You An Avocadian?

I know that I am as I LOVE avocado. But heck, they are so bloody expensive so I don't buy them often.

Food Prep Starts Right Now!

 

That's right. I have started my food prep engine again after it long sputtered to a halt. 

Public Holiday. Do What?

Yesterday was Malaysia Day and a public holiday. I wanted to wake up early and get going with my plans for the day but heck, I was still so tired when the alarm clock went off. I turned it off and went back to sleep.
