Hello Food and me and my gf are famous!

Once again, this is going to be a long update...so many things happened over the past few weeks. I hope you guys will enjoy reading it :) Read slowly la...susah nak update wei. hahahah thank you! :P

Muahahaaha Yes, I is famous. Why? Me and my sayang appeared in the TheStar newspaper :). Where? When? What? It was during the Terry Fox Run 2009 event. It was held at Lake Gardens(Taman Tasik Perdana) on the 1st of November 2009 @ 9.00am. And just a note, I folded my sleeves up because it was fucking hot! Me and my gf only ran 3KM. Fuck it, it was too hot and I was too lazy to run 5KM in the heat so call me a pussy for all I care :P

The Star Article.

I spotted some friends after the crossing the finishing line. I spotted Yin Yin and Lionel first. Followed by Pueh Tian, Choi, Frank and soon after Chee Kong. We all took a group photo before queuing up for milo and muffin!

FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD

This was awhile back...but me and my sayang finally tried out Garden Lifestyle and cafe @ 1Utama.

The place was REALLY white and green. Hence the theme of being in a garden with loads of artificial plants. It wasn't crowded even for a weekend....made me wonder if the food was nice. Anyway, felt relaxed...browsed through the menu and ended up ordering their set meals.

Weird french onion soup which was more like tonnes of onions with black pepper. Yuck. Ok la...may be we're just not used to the taste but a no-no for me.


Ice Lemon Tea :) Very refreshing


I feel refreshed by looking at you too *muacks*


My order - Nasi Lemak. Average nasi lemak you can find anywhere. I still LOVE the Nasi Lemak at Village Park.

My gf's order - Basically, its like War Tan Ho. This is not bad for but my gf said not nice. haha

The food was not that satisfying but the ambiance was nice. If you would like some quiet time with your love ones with a decent meal, this place could be one of them. Well, just compare this to Kim Gary...get the picture? :)

Next up! 1 of my favorite kopi tiam at Taman Megah which is VERY VERY near to my favorite Roast Pork Noodle stall is ......Restoran Gembira!

This curry / wan tan mee stall is my gf's parents usual stall for breakfast after going to the wet market for some grocery shopping. The uncle will normally give a lot of noodles for the curry mee which is awesome!

Their coffee is also very heavenly......remember, order NGA LAT(is this correct?) for the bigger cup coffee.

Next up, Old Souls Day > Travel to Malacca > Came back to KL the same day > Got REALLY sick with massive diarrhea. There, that was the summary. Here comes the long story.

***Note:***
WE = Me, my gf, my parents and my grandma

Saturday 7.11.2009
I made sure I slept early on Friday as it was gonna be a long day for Satuday( I'm the designated driver mah). We travelled down to Malacca to visit my grandpa and uncle's grave to pray as it was All Souls Day. We started out journey from Puchong to Malacca around 8.15am and arrived at my aunty's place at Malacca by 9.40am++. Surprisingly traffic was smooth even at Seremban area.

We rested forawhile before proceeding to my grandpa's grave. Once there, we spent some time cleaning the tombstone and surrounding area before we lit some candles to pray. Its quite shocking to see the number of NEW tombstone grew so much year after year. Life goes on I guess...so much for Circle of Life.

After that, we proceeded to my uncle's resting place at Ayer Salak or something. He was cremated so his ashes are stored in an urn kept at Ayer Salak Catholic Church..I think! I'm not familiar with the place anyway. We lit some candles and started praying for my uncle.

Once done, we headed back to Bukit Beruang for some yong tau fo near my grandma's place.

Finally tried that 3 Lapis Teh or some crap. Honestly, its Tea, Gula Malacca and milk. Overall taste? Gula Malacca ...

After lunch, we went to Tan Kim Hock to buy some stuff. Sorry..didnt take any pictures at that time...haha. But we did try their cendol while over there. Extremely overprice but yet, I wanted to try.

Coconut Cendol - RM3. wtf

Durian Cendol - RM5 WTF

Overall damage for our visit to Tan Kim Hock? About RM180 but anyway, its not often where we get nice dodol, rice crackers and stuff. We went back to my aunty's place to shower and rest before leaving for KL. We arrived back in KL at my sister's place around 6.50pm and decided to go to EuroDeli for dinner.

I saw some TV food programmes on Astro where they were showing EuroDeli being famous for their sausages and stuff so I was kinda looking forward to this.

The place was REALLY packed and we had to wait for nearly 10minutes with all the frequent updates given by their staff. Soon after, we were all seated and started browsing through the menu but in the end, we decided to let my brother-in-law, Kenneth to order for us. While he and my sister were going through the order, the rest of us were preoccupied with my niece, Kristen :P

My mum and my niece :) Love you all


Order order order jiak jiak jiak


I love you, always.


She saw something!


Ah Ma looks tired....or hungry?

My mum and dad :)

And the food marathon begins!


Some soft warm bun and butter...really nice and fragrant


Mixed Roast of Knuckle,Ribs and Belly (Gemischte Roast Platte)

Rolled Stuffed Pork Belly ( Gefullte Bauch Rolle)


Fuck, I forgot this one....


Mixed Sausage Platter - 3 Sausage of your choice. Pork Ring Sausage and Kassler Ham, Farmer's Bratwurst, and Grilled Sausage.


Alpler Maccaroni (Swiss Mountain Maccaroni) - With bacon, ham, cream, cheese and apple mousse. I think it was this LOL I might be wrong but this was freaking delicious.


Spaghetti Marinara - with prawns, squids, mussels and tomato coulis.

We shared every single dish because it was really alot and Thank God we did so because it was just nice - Not too much and not too little. After dinner, we headed back to my sister's condo for some dessert.

It's not what you think it is....

Ta Dah! Surprise!

My family celebrating my birthday with me.

It wasn't planned so was an ad hoc celebration since everyone was together and we're all having a good time. Thanks Kenneth for taking pictures for us, I just realiase you weren't in any of the pictures. Sorry man!.

Happy Birthday to me! D.O.B 13th November 1983 :)

And not to be a killjoy, the next day, 8.11.2009 was horrible. I woke up in the middle of the night around 5.30am because I felt really uncomfortable. It was around the bottom of the rib cage area at the center...and I felt like puking. Ended up having some diarrhea and felt feverish.

I went to Clinic Mediveron at Petaling Jaya which was located in Giant complex itself at the highest floor. The doctor said I have no fever but my stomach had alot of gas and he only gave me medicine for the wind and diarrhea.

My lau sai wasn't watery, it was fucking WATER. I felt really uneasy and when I checked my body temperature at night, it showed 38.9 Degrees. WTF? So fine, I called the doctor up and he said to see him next day. I took 2 panadol(500mg each) and slept.

Surprisingly, I felt ALOT better the next day. The fever is gone but I still feel weak. I did not see the doctor but just stayed home to rest. I was on MC anyway so the rest was really good. My appetite was slowly progressing but I couldn't much.

The question is, what went wrong? EuroDeli? Touchwood was it the cemetery? Cendol? I really don't know because we ALL ate the same thing! Whatever the cause is, its over...luckily it was just a 2 day ordeal.


Running
Right now, I'm looking forward for my Penang Bridge Half Marathon on the 22.11.2009!

Although I have not been training well for it, I'm still going for it for the experience! I've been running but not long distances....but hopefully it will do me some good for my stamina. I also bought 2XU Compression Calf Guard from Frank...I really hope it will help with the cramps during the run.

RM150 :)

So far, I've only worn it once and it feels good. I also have a new fuel belt. Thanks Ija for buying it for me while being in Singapore :) I will try to upload a picture of it soon but its basically from Adidas with 4 bottles(125ml each was it? ).

Whatever the case, run, enjoy, gain the experience and medal.

Wish me luck!
