Cari Makan: T.G.I.F @ Ss14, an old dining.

Since a midget, I’ve been patronizing this T.G.I.F or Thank God Its Friday. How long has it been? Perhaps 10 years or more? The food here has been pretty good since young but for some particular reason, Chilis was always the choice of my group of teenage adults.

Today I had lunch @ TGIF with my family and Eric. It was their farewell lunch before they leave back to Aus tonight. We ordered lots of food if you ask me! Ill let the picture do the talking!:

Fried Calamari Rings!

Boneless Buffalo strips! Was a classic favourite and my dad’s most preferred food @ all this place he says is for “youngsters”. Used to have Buffalo wings but why not try boneless. Not to bad as well :D

Chicken Nachos!

I love TGIF nachos so much! Every other time I have nachos it is always so messy and the taste is poorly spreaded! Subway, Chilis, and even the Ref @ Uni!! Ewww! Ewww!!

Love the way TGIF does this classic nachos which I’ve been eating since a kid! Slices of chicken on a crisp slice of corn chips topped with melted cheese and finish with a slice of Jalapeno! DAmmmmmmm!!!

This pasta is called garlic something something and errr I did not quite fancy it. Ok ok onlyla. Since I learned to cook pasta in Perth, I’ve been a little bit more demanding. My Sei Ku’s chili mussels which my sister adapted is holy smoke, not to mention all the other pastas I myself can cook after picking it up from my aunt. Definitely a standard or two lower when the pasta gets rated by me!

When you go Australia alone to study, there are practically a few paths:

1) Stay with Veterans and learn PROPER pasta.

2) Stay alone = noob bottled sauce = crap pasta.

Next up is the chicken fingers which was not as good as I expected it to be. The ones at Chilis is definitely better than this. Probably only this dish wins @ Chilis.

After downing all the food, it was time to finish the meal with some little sweet delights :D

B rank cake. This cake tasted common, moist, so-so :S. Nothing much to appreciate from it. The bottom one which is the Mocha Mud Pie comes in pricey @ rm15 but serves kickass satisfaction in a small portion. A double thumbs up for this one!! It simply is a must have :)

My tummmy is full!! Nothing much to comment, atmosphere? errr like most places that is errr quite a common scene if you’d ask me. Nothing to shout about.

And my sister along with Eric has left for Singapore before transiting  to Perth. Had great fun with her but great times end too. Rwarrr! See you soon @ Perth sister.

Cari Makan: Zanmai Pasta @ 1U

Very long time ago after eating at so many places (yea man, my diet plan is “working”) I’m back here blogging about a place I found quite different compared to the rest. Probably a bit slow on this but hey!! I’ve only been back for a month :(!

 

Oklar! Been ranting enough! Sister, Eric and I decided to go shopping @ 1 Utama but was too hungry as dad was not free to go lunch with us. So we decided to pop by Zanmai Pasta, a place recommended by Jian before as “not bad”.  We ordered quite a fair bit. A sashimi salad, two pastas, clam soup as well as potato salad!

 

Eric’s salad as he said he wanted to feel healthy!

 

This drink.. jesus @.@ OKla green sign = toxic or poisonous right? Yea, that applies here. $3.50 “special” brew was no where near special compared to Yobi’s suggested Barley Lime from Bumbu Bali!

 

A serve of potato salad @ rm6.00 was nice. Matches Fuji’s @ Vic Park, Perth. Tasted very light even though egg and cream was all over. The lettuce at the back was drizzled with Zanmai’s homemade sauce which I have to admit tasted like “my type”.

 

This was Eric’s soup with lots of clam inside. About 10-15 perhaps? Not bad I guess. I remember there was a time where Tom Yam seafood put in two of those and it was supposed to be a big deal @.@. I did not taste it but Eric say quite good wor. I’ll take his word for it I’d suppose!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up is my sister’s pasta. XXXX no chili pasta. Weirdly enough “no chili” means ala chili in Jap. She says she liked the simplicity of this pasta. No overpowering sauce pushing the seafood taste away. I found it boring though lol. But it was nicela, just boring haha. The mushrooms tasted good in this dish!

Sister’s salad with the dressing I talked about before:

And lastly, my chicken pasta!

I love Teriyaki at the right place and being served with pasta does not seem like a bad idea at all. In fact it turned out quite yummy! Although I have to insist that the chicken was not cooked to satisfy me like at Kanta in Perth lol. No bias here man. Just plain truth!! The final bill came to around $100+. Nonetheless, Zanmai has made 3 person that day satisfied as fat pigs.

 

Will be hitting you peeps with more eats as I come alive tomorrow morning! It’s bed time :D Adios!~

Something Cute ~ Fluff ball Bibi!

 

It's been quite a hectic week so far. But I'm loving every single bit of it!  Studies are also going to be in code red in just a moments time as 4 exams are due next week! HOho... this might be my last post till then but again, perhaps not!  Last week David Jones was having sale too hehehe Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren n other brands were one sale as well! But none of the peeps bought anything coz Yi Heng bought his NIke Sbs and his Ipod Nano and is feeling guilty, William bought his Sennheisser HD 555 rwarrr, and Jhui bought a car @.@..

 

The weekend was really really fun too!! On Saturday Mandy and I cooked branch or more like I COOKED branch.  We had Pasta Stroganoff.  She loved every bit of it and I'm  glad. hehe.  After that we went over to my sister's place to spend the rest of the weekend!  If you all remember I promised to take some picture of my sister's baby :)

 

 

 

Hehe well everyone, it is pretty obvious already. But if you have not noticed, my sister's new baby is not really a BABY but a lil puppy called Bibi.  She is from the Maltese-Shih Tzu. breed  According to my sister this Bibi is really a baby!  Need to sleep like 1000 times a day.  Cries in the middle of the night.  Need to take it's meal often, loves and needs a lot of attention.  But it is really a nice lil living soul.  Amanda really love it as well haha.. She now says if I every want to give her a teddy bear I can just buy a puppy for her instead but nahhhh it'll be ages before I do so since we're both too caught up with university things.

 

 

Bibi looking eagerly at her mommy cooking dinner!! We had bak kut teh that night! Not bad but the meat was no tender enough :p

 

After awhile, Bibi got tired and needed a rest after her meal! She looked so manja every time she's about to fall asleep.. So I need to kacau her ahahah! Every time I do that I get scolding by her AUNTY.

 

 

Someone is falling asleep..

 

zzzZzzz... sleeping time :) Cute horr!! Sometimes I compare her to a baby polar bear !! Looks really similar! Hen Ke Ai :P Like my sweetheart ahaha

 

 

Someone feeling a tad of drowsiness after her half hour nap?? Or perhaps half minute sleep since I disturbed her a lil :)

 

 

After dinner, I tried to do my work again.. the civil question is really so annoying!! Had 7 tried on it before getting it right and JEezzzz the answer really took so long to get.. But I finally got it right :) And guess what?? Mr Hua got home from work and copy my working!! Sooo not fairrrrr!! But it is ok!! I get free lunch from him!!

 

 

After dinner we were having some family hour with Bibi "baby-ing"  us with her baby attitude and gestures. But gosh when she bites you, I think you will consider her a devil!! So painful lerr her nibble.. But it is normal for puppies to be like this since they go through a period called teething! The clock hit an hour before midnight and we started monopolyyy.. Wah in that game my sister only got like 1?2? perhaps 3 properties lol.

 

The game was soooo tiring that I eventually gave up after 2 hour into the game.  Gave sweetheart my assets while I dropped a property to my sister at cost price.  Lied on the couch before falling asleep!  At 3 they decided to call it a day... *Finally*...

 

And the final picture for the little dog!! Looking as blur as everrrR

 

 

On Sunday I worked at Super IGA at Belmont for 6 hours before going to Nando's and I downed 3/4 of a chicken man!! Soo damn hungry coz lunch at 4!  Later in the night, there was  a family dinner at my uncle's place.  My aunty from M'sia is here for good hehe.  Dinner was nice, had a different Ricadonna dessert wine. Very fruit and bubblyy so niceee!

 

A very accomplished weekend!! And now, to achieve an accomplished mid-semester period!
