Things are not always like people always dreamed, we don't really pay our attention on enjoying in the UK, yet. The first task to achieve in the UK is, to survive e.g. eat. Eating at the cafes and restaurants outside is so pricey here that it is practically impossible for us Malaysian students to eat outside everyday, so we had to cook.

Surprisingly most of my friends don't really know how to cook, and most of them are girls..haha, how to find husband har? Nevermind, I'm an expert chef! Long word short say, stuff that we actually cooked!

Day 1:

Already missing Malaysian food?

 
Rice, Chicken Bah Kut Teh 

Day 2:
 Porridge, Fried Egg, Potatoes and Iceberg

Day 3:

 Rice, Steamed Egg, Pan Fried Chicken and Egg, ABC Soup (with and without chicken)

Day 4:

 Rice, Soy Sauce Chicken, Boiled Iceberg with Oyster Sauce & Fried Garlic, Baked Beans with Egg

Day 5:

Busy day! Not much time to cook, bought 3 £1 Pizzas, tasted okay though! Still experiencing with the oven :D

 
Pork Pepperoni and Grilled Veg

Day 6:

Went to the Market, something like the pasar we see in Malaysia, bought some marinated chicken drumsticks to be cooked in the oven. It wasn't too successful though, we took it out and in out and in and in the end its still not fully cooked.

 
Rice, Fried Potatoes, Boiled Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, Egg & Veg Soup

 Hot & Spicy Chicken Drumstick

Day 7:

I cooked curry chicken myself! wahahaha, I think I can cook better than my mum :D

 Rice, Fried Egg, Boiled Iceberg with Oyster Sauce & Fried Garlic, CURRY CHICKEN!

 Looked great and taste awesome!

P/S: I tried to avoid spending money on food outside though, even during the trips we ate our own made egg mayo sandwiches, craving for coffee badly in the cold weather ~~

So far I only ate 1 meal outside, its a supper, Turkish food - Kebab!

 Fried Chicken, Lamb & Chicken Kebab with Fries and Salad

Relatively cheap in the UK, this large meal cost about £2.50. Not too great if you ask me, but its a good choice if there is no choice but to eat outside, kebab won't fail in keeping your stomach full for an affordable price!

What Do We Eat: Week 1 {0}

Celebrated my birthday again with my TARC sei dongs at Look Out Point Ampang, as another fine day of our usual Tuesday routine! Met up with each other after our classes at 7pm then drive to Ampang.

As we arrived we climbed up on the stairs, it's pretty dark over there, some girls were afraid of lizards, LOL. Then as we got up we were busy choosing which restaurant to go, theres about 4-5 restaurants up there, non of them was packed with people, maybe because it's weekday. Since we couldn't determine by the crowd, some of them start making phone calls to ask around.

Then we walked to this restaurant called "Haven". As we were reading the menu, the waiter was promoting their restaurant non-stop, showing us their article on the papers and pro-claiming "No charges if it's not delicious." and so we went in.


Haven


Grilled Lamb Chop

Ordered grilled lamb, Below RM20, taste was above average, so we did paid XD and they took out the birthday cake, eh...not cake again, the birthday mutton pies they got from secret recipe. I think they want to eat only buy =_= the waiters even microwaved the pies before they took it out, so caring.

Birthday pies

Chaoe and Ying Ying

As it gets later many couples came to enjoy their dinner while having a great view of the city of Kuala Lumpur. Although it was raining a lil bit, but the scenery there is really a blast!

Thanks alot guys :)

P/S: Outing was on 3rd November

Birthday, again? {2}

Thought I'll be at Kuantan this year's birthday, then my parents suddenly ffk me go go back themselves ;(, so came up with some plans to pass my 21st. Drove all the way to Genting around 3 and arrived at 4 something 1 day before my birthday. Went for brief video gaming first, because the kids wanna play :P I wanted to shop instead, LOL.


See, happy photo-hunting


So cheat 4 people play, bluff money one


Okay lah, I'm the real KID, muahahhaaha, mama help put money, why no move de?


GG Pwned hostage Juno


Paktor oso play so wolf water de game, haih


Night liao lu, go out blow wind~

At first our plan was to get the RM8 one ride ticket for the motion master, but we realised something - They never collect it at all!


From left Juno, Winnie, me and sY P/s: Winnie yeng ar

Then we walked around and shop abit, as usual I din't see any good stuff, except the ones in my favourite brand! - ESPRIT


While waiting for Juno to try his clothes


Chon Wai posing with his darling's bag, haha

After hours of walking around and playing, we decided to try the steamboat buffet in First World Plaza for dinner, it's quite cheap considering that we are at Genting, costing RM19.90++. We were hesitated because we only had time for dinner at 9pm and the buffet ends at 10, anyway we still went in, and we ate alot!


Stroke Mushrooms


Stars ^_^


Ta Da, balls and crab


And everything else.

The variety of food is OK, chicken and fish, prawns, mushrooms, vegetables, and large variety of meat balls. The food freshness are acceptable but if you decide to try up, don't take too many types of meat balls though, that's what we did and regretted, they basically taste the same, better save up your stomach for other stuff. We had a hard time finishing the balls, as they charge for wastage. They have also free flow Chinese tea and iced sirap, acceptable for it's price lar, remember it's in First World Plaza neh!

After dinner theres still quite some time until 12am, so we went for Bumper car, we played 3 rounds (or more?) all free of charge. They never check our tickets at all, all you have to do is cover your wrist with your sweater, and you play everything for free! Provided that you never get caught, I don't think the staff give a damn even. While queuing we met a few little kids around standard 3-4, their dad is waiting outside of the queue yet Chon Wai approached them to buaya, at last he manage to get their facebook addresses, LOL, typical gold fish guy.


Waiting to ride the Ferris Wheel


The boat with the singing guy behind


Winnie

While riding the boat thingy everyone tried to make a wish by throwing a coin to the bell, everyone missed except Winnie, she sure use 50 cent coin one ;(

After 12am we went in to First World's Casino, with Juno, he's not 21 yet, LOL. CW and sY went in first, then the other of us walked in. The security guards wanted to check all 3 of us, when I showed my IC he refused to let me in, WTF, it's already after 12am, and he insist that it's not the 2nd day yet. Then when I decided to leave, another guy who are suppose to be his superior came to me, asked if it's my birthday, he checked my IC and then let me in, he wished me Happy Birthday too, I was wondering why not "win more?" haha. With all of them concentrating on me Juno sneaked in happily.

When we met up with the couples they were ready with their cake, wait..I mean bread.


Bread, with Choki-Choki chocolate spread on it, CW's work so ugly,
it says Happy 21 Bday, if you guys can't read


They were singing, all uncle aunties looking at me, so paiseh =/


Yeah posing, and that's the bag I wanted to buy at Esprit, which became a present from my friends, lots of them din't came to celebrate but still love you guys~


Group, sY Juno CW me

They bought the bread earlier when we were having lunch at Wangsa Maju, 7-11 I guess? LOL. It was so funny and I like the "cake" very much. Some of you might not know, I don't eat cakes =/ very kind of them to prepare this, haha. Celebrating inside the casino is special too.


Taking a bite, din't want to, but no choice

After that we walked abit in the casino then head to the other casino at Genting Hotel. After 2 trials Juno failed to get in, so I went back to First World with him and sat at Starbucks while waiting for the other to gamble. They spent like 2 hours there while we waited, walked from bottom to top and then walk back down in a empty mall (it's 2-3am), then waited again and finally they called.

Everyone of them lost, LOL. Okay worth the wait :P Then we head back to KL. Quite special as a birthday celebration, I myself have not been to Genting for quite some time already, first time in the casino. I'm glad that I hate gambling, but it's quite interesting to be there, with lots and lots of expressions and new stuff to see and experience. Welcome to the world.

P/S: I can vote now, BN can start bribing me.

I'm an adult now! {0}

Went to the famous Fullhouse cafe near Kelana Jaya for dinner to celebrate my dear leng lui classmates' birthday earlier, it was on Tuesday, as we promised to gather every Tuesday night. Was quite a long journey from Setapak, picking up everyone as usual then travel all the way, and went to the wrong route, 2 times. However we arrived at NZX (牛车水) around 9pm, almost every store are closed, with Fullhouse being an exception. NZX is like a dead city by 9pm, with unrented stores, closed boutiques (WTF everything closed before 9pm).

I expected a crowd there, however nobody was inside the cafe, except Lewis and Lili, who arrived earlier. The waiter said the upper floor was full so we sat outside, 3mins later then the waiter came again and told us that there's an empty table upstairs. Surprise to see that only 1 table of customer when we went up, so we thought, who sat here earlier? Nobody went downstairs, creepy! LOL

Then it's the typical order eat and crap, only this time alot of camwhoring and window shopping, Fullhouse sells lots of products of their own, from spectacles, T-shirts, dresses, bags, accessories, mugs, clocks, and more, and most of all, you can borrow them to take pictures there! Everyone was forbidden to wear T-shirts that day, so formal =/


Deep fried soft shell crab

Hmm..ok Heineken

The guys, Lewis Eugene and me at the back and CK Choon Seng and MC in front


Then the crowd, with the birthday girls in front

The waiter was surprise when he saw 4 big candles and 2 small candles, representing 42 years old (meant to be 2 x 21 years old), after reconfirming with us he prepared everything and bring out the cake. Like what Choon Seng predicted, he placed the cake right in front of Lewis, thinking that he's actually 42 years old, he got teased so hard, haha.


Hua Hua + Li Li, note 42 years old candles


The specs there, Ying Ying MC and me with my own spec

Chaoe doing mirror trick


Ying Ying

Winter sonata style, HuaHua: Wah Yingying like Lee Hyori, hahaha

Before we went downstairs to take more pictures they already closed up the cafe downstairs, so we missed the Fullhouse mini cooper :( Overall the environment and food was Ok, price at the high side, not up to my expectations, no wonder no customer at all, bad location, normal food, high price, sad :(

After that we went to Kepong to continue the yam cha spree, some of them wanna get some beers, but I'm driving and trying to be responsible driver, so I only drink Jasmine tea =/ Took some pictures there too but I don't have those, and got back home at 2am.

P/S: This was on somewhere around 20th++ October, took some time to get the pictures and some time to gather up my writing mood and then the time :P
