Had a farewell dinner last last Saturday for my ex-colleague ~ HM… she left my ex-company and pursued her new job at another company now….

Oh ya… I forgot what’s the steamboat shop name… It’s a steamboat buffet opposite Menara Umno… hehehehe…. a lot of ppl there and it was a very warm place… sweat like siao lor! We chit-chatted a lot over there … hhehehe… 5 out of  10 of my ex-colleagues including me quitted over the past few months… wahhaha…. I never expect that would happen… well.. never judge right?

After that we went to Mois for second round… remember I post about the polis raid last last week?

It was HM, Chris &, Alysa’s first time… there were 10 of us include Steve & HM’s bf & friend.. so we ordered 2 open bottles that night which all of us can go in w/o cover charge… they have promotion when you ordered 2 at a cheaper price…

Anyway, when we just started to heat up… there was this stupid polis raid =_____=|||

I would said this was beginner’s luck.. lol…It was so long since my last visit to such place and I can say I never met such situation before lor… manatau so sui…. haih….the raid started 1.30am… and we waited for very long till our ICs were checked… it was 4.30am when all of our ICs got checked

Reached home 5am =____=||| totally died off cuz seriously I have never slept so late for at least 2yrs d…. slept till 6pm on Sunday…. hahhahha…..

I had a new hair cut on last Saturday!

Went for a free make up @ Sasa… then went for d new hair cut….. then met up with my ex-colleagues…

We had our early dinner @ Station One….

Food shared between d 3 of us… Lamb chop, chicken chop, cheese ball and football platters….

But main purpose was to talk la

Food so so only lor… quite ex also la….After dinner… we went for movie ~ The Expandables… nice show… my review here.

Next round after movie was coffee bean! Too much to talk with too little time… hehhehhe…..we talked from 8.30pm till midnight … I was sleepy by then cuz in the morning I went for hiking d ma…. hehehhe……

Even the coffee bean staff has to tell us they were closing d… heheehe…. so we got to leave by then…

But my ex-colleagues more geng… they went to Subaidah for their 3rd round ->supper… =____=||| I cannot tahan d…need to take my beauty-sleep d… else very “chan”

That’s it for my last Saturday … a nice, enjoyable & fruitful one

Got to say…Haih… so sad for my pictures…. too long I didn’t bring mySLR out d… d skills oso cha ki… need to sharpen d… sad…see d pictures I so sad….pictures were aweful… so please forgive me… *sob sob*

>> These were taken after we finished the dinner…. almost closing down… lol…

Ok.. back to this restaurant…. I never knew it really exist until my colleague told me about it… well… cuz I asked her where is nice in Penang which is not too expensive and the environment is good…. she recommended me this one… and ngam ngam friend also wanted to go this restaurant like long time ago… so good lo

It was Friday night… I have been trying to make a reservation from 5pm but the phone kept going to a fax machine. When I finally got it, the person on the other end said that they have been fully booked. She just asked me to go over and queue up for a seat =___=|||

The meet up with friend suppose to be 8pm… but I’m not too familiar with that place + scared of jam cuz it’s Friday so I went there earlier… reached there just 7.40pm and the place was full! I saw people lining up outside =_____=||| So I thought “cham d la… takan want to wait very long?” hmm…..and I can’t even find a parking space =____=||

Anyway, I found d place… queue up to get in… in the waiting line there was one family of 4 waiting… they didn’t make any reservation as well …. well… when the waitress or the lady-who-looks-like-a-boss came out saw me… asked me for the number of ppl dining… I said 2 and she got 1 empty table waiting! Yippeeee! No need wait for long… happy happy

Friend came in awhile….when I just want to start taking pictures….hehheheehee…..

The food was in western style…. and the price was quite reasonable for such place… bravo…

I ordered Carrot & Orange juice + black pepper chicken

Friend ordered Spaghetti carbonara set which comes with mushroom soup, lemon tea, and dessert… quite worth it lor… just add RM 4.90 can have the add-ons…. niceeee….

Lucky for us… we got a secluded place in the side room… thou still very noisy cuz the restaurant was full with people… but still a very nice place for us to talk… chit chat with friend till almost 10.30pm…hahhha….. no one left except us and another 4 teenagers…. lol….

It’s a cozy place to hang out with friends lo and the price of the food quite reasonable… no wonder so many people… hahhahaha…..

And sorry… no pictures of the human cuz I was underdress for this occasion + you can say that I forgot to snap myself … hahahhahhaa…. funny ler?

Recommended place for dinner… Penang folks should check it out

The easiest and the only food I know how to cook other than instant noodle is spaghetti! I’m a spaghetti lover and you  cannot find any shop selling this homecook spaghetti

Let Chef Ivy teach you how to cook spaghetti today!

Ingredients needed are actually based on what you want to put in your spaghetti… meat, prawn, fish, seafood, vegetarian, etc… is all depends on you.

But for me… I would normaly have mix vege and minced meat…

Alright, ingredient of today ~ this portion suitable for 4 adults:

- Spaghetti noodle ~ Angel Hair ( The best of all because it wasn’t too “fat” and it’s easy to cook)

- Butter ( enough to mix with the Angel Hair spaghetti)

- Cheedar cheese ( Any brand of cheesar cheese 3-4 pieces….cheaper compare to parmesan cheese)

- Capsicum x 1 medium size

- Tomatoes x 3 medium size (not too ripe because it won’t taste nice)

- Garlic ( to taste)

- Onion ( to taste)

- Celery

- Mushroom ( I prefer button mushroom.. but if don’t have, then can use normal chinese mushroom to replace it)

- Minced meat ( You can buy it directly from the pork stall. But that is not that hygeine. You can buy a piece of meat and chopped it into fine pieces…. but I forgot to buy minced meat.. so I use sausage and ham to replace it today…. )

- 250ml tomato sauce

- 300ml spaghetti sauce

- 1 table spoon of cooking oil

- a pinch of salt ( to taste )

The usual brand of Angel Hair you can get from the hypermarket is this:

>> Depends on the portion the adults want… I used almost half packet for 4 adults

>> The big bottle is the spaghetti sauce… use half of is which is almost 300ml…. and you need to mix it with 1 medium tin tomato sauce…

First, we prepare the spaghetti noodle… prepare a pot of water… pour in the cooking oil and salt… when the water boiled, put in the spaghetti noodle ~ Angel hair.. the Angel hair will cook in 2-3 minutes…

Get ready your butter… I used up 1/3 of the whole butter cup

When the Angel Hair is done, drain the water off and pour the noodle into the butter…..you do not have to melt the butter because the Angel hair still hot when you pour it into the butter…. mix it well and you got this:

You will see that the noodle will not has a smooth texture before you mix it with the butter. It will be in a sticky form which does not looks tasty anymore

In between the time of cooking the noodle, you can start to cut your vege and minced meat into small pieces….

Chopped capsicum and tomatoes:

Chopped celery:

Chopped mushroom:

Chopped onion and garlic:

Sausages and ham cut into small cubes:

Cheedar cheese-to-let-it-thaw which is easier for your cooking later:

Once everything is done, you can start your cooking on the spaghetti sauce:

First, heat up the cooking oil. Once it was heated enough, add in the chopped garlic and onion. Stir fried it till you smell pungent smell:

After that, add in minced meat … since I don’t use minced meat today… I will skip this step and pour in spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce…. add in enough water ….

Then add in all the other ingredient: celery, capsicum, tomatoes, mushroom, ham and sausages…

Let the sauce boil and add the cheedar cheese on top of the sauce:

Once the sauce boiled, it will melts the cheedar cheese… so you just have to stir fry the sauce slightly…

And that’s it! Tada! There goes your spaghetti sauce!

You can add in pepper if you like… for me I definitely love it!

Hope you enjoy this meal introduce by Chef Ivy! Till then, I hope I can share more on homecook food soon!

So…. I got no where to go… no plans to proceed…. I asked mom to go Gurney with me… lol…

Camwhore picture first:

Went to Gurney window shopping… didn’t get anything… after walk walk… went to Winter Warmers for dinner…

I ordered Meal 2 ~ Tuna Waffle + Ice Mixed Fruit Tea + Salad…. forgot to snap the pic of my drinks… hehheheeh…..

Mom ordered Honey Oat Chicken….

Reached home before 9pm…. nothing much to see in Gurney also… no $$$ to buy also… lol…

On a side note, I went to wash & blow my hair last weekend… felt so good to have people wash & blow my hair for me… of cuz right? Paid for it one

I like the end result:

Finally got time to add frame * signature to my pictures…

Went for dinner with temple’s aunties & uncles… I always missed the free food when is on their treat… this was the third time they treat there…. happy nia! Some uncles & aunties kena lottery… so they share share treat us all lor… nice ler? ya ya… very nicce…….

My look of that day:

They got a few live seafood displayed outside the restaurant… it attracted kids to see

>> Don’t know what is this… but it’s like a type of lala… but imported from Canada… one auntie ate before.. she said must eat with wasabi only nice one… it’s quite expensive so they didn’t order it…

Yes, food of the night….

Last but not least… the naughtiest boy at home… he enjoyed himself sooooo much that night …

They brought 6 bottles of red wine there…. I don’t know how many bottles left… but I know I drank quite a lot… drank till dizzy…thought went home can sleep d… but end up head till very fresh… *sigh*… didn’t sleep well….

I want to get drunk la!

Sister craved for Japanese food… I cracked my head to think of where can we have Japanese food in Penang… thought of going to Miraku Restaurant @ G Hotel…. but when I picked her up after work… she said that she wanted to go Yataimura @ Pulau Tikus….

Mom doesn’t have her dance class that night… so she joined us for dinner…

It’s food time!

1. Octopus sushi… damn nice lor!

2. Mom can’t eat raw food… so we ordered Shoju ramen for her…

3. Hotate @ Scallop…. so small and so expensive… even worse than Tao’s scallop… not worth to order this RM 16.90

4. Sashimi! They have offer that day… RM 16.90… normal price is RM 19.90… erm…. quite fresh … so still worth it

5. Salmon, Tuna wrap with vege… niceeee

6. Unagi handroll…. I seldom order handroll… so… this is quite alright for me…

7. How can me missed out edamame? Mom’s favourite.. and the Edamame here really nice compared to Sushi Kind & Sakae Sushi & Azuma

8. Tako Wasabi… tasted weird weird…. not nice…. so don’t try it next time

9. Last but not least ~ Papaya + Salmon skin salad…. niceeeee…. the salmon skin very crispy but mom & sis said the dressing too sour… to me still alright

Well…. the food quite satisfying…. no complain at all… will go to have a try again when got chance… but I would want to try other Japanese restaurant first

It was my colleague ~ Rachel’s birthday… we were voting on where to celebrate her birthday out of 3 choices – Yataimura, Chou Shun Kan and Tsuruya.

Well.. I always wanted to try on Chou Shun Kan… and I never have the chance… cuz dinner was super expensive… and I missed the last lunch at Chou Shun Kan… so I definitely go for Chou Shun Kan…

And there we went…. with pre-ordered lunch set… my colleagues even have the menu ready for us pre-order… lol…

Chou Shun Kan was situated at Krystal Point… a small shop with a great cook. I have heard so much abut this shop and yet to try it out… Sher and Lam kept telling me the kimchi soup is the best in Chou Shun Kan…. but it it quite costly…and they charge for their green tea + side dishes…. compared to big korean franchise like Daorae & Korea Palace.

I like the place… quite cozy… and they use traditional stove for BBQ! Damn cute la

My serving of tofu chige set…. cost me RM 20 include the tax + drinks… quite worth it for set lunch

Close up on my tofu chige:

It tasted soooooooooooooo nice!!!! Really did not regret tryig it out! Damn nice!

The tofu chige comes with more tofu compare to kimchi chige where kimchi chige comes with more kimchi But both the soup taste the same

They even free us BBQ chicken + pork as there were 16 of us… so each table got extra free BBQ… niceeeeee

Satisfied lunch…

Anyway Happy birthday to Rachel….
