Food Temptation

Mum's Roasted Chicken Wings! （¯﹃¯）

How can one simply control his/her diet with this kind of temptation at home? (;________;)

Sushi, My Love ♥

Lately I've been working on that same particular piece of cross stitch which I haven't been able to complete during Chinese New Year a few months ago. All that's left is the outline but THAT is exactly the most time-consuming part of all. No great expectations okay, it's just a small piece, even smaller than A4. Not my final target. XD 

I've been a "good" girl today, only switched on lappy around 5pm. XD  Nah I'm not that disciplined, it's just that I was busy with one of my all-time favourite - SUSHI! =D

Mum wanted to try out new stuff, so we got ourselves new ingredients. This year I bought unagi! Yum yum! And a few more ingredients which I've already forgotten how they're called. (Obviously lazy to dig out the packaging to find out too.) So.. I'll let the photo do the talking, as usual. XD

BEHOLD, FROM SUSHI CHEF DEEDEE OF THE DAY.

(Kisiao dy. ==) 

A variety of sushi maki! ♥
Dad says they look the same although the ingredients wrapped inside are different. T^T

My First Extreme Girl Shopping

One week done ever since the first day of the semester. I haven't blogged for five days. I didn't realize time passed by that quickly - I felt like I just blogged the previous post two nights ago! The past five days drained almost all of the energy produced by my poor overworked body cells. I'm feeling unwell (still is!) and class ended in the evening for many days continuously. Damn exhausting.

Last Sunday was my first girls' shopping gathering with my friends this year! Housemates asked me out to find Chinese New Year clothes coz some of them were busy working during the semester break and they didn't manage to get themselves new clothes for the year. I rushed to finish my work early that morning, and then left the house excitedly. =D

Before sending Cheryl off to the bus station, we had lunch together at Old Town near Medan Gopeng. It must have been long since I last dined in at Old Town. I didnt know they have new ice blended series! =D

Old Town Mix It!

❤ Mint & Chocolate Chips Base Freeze ❤

My always and favourite choice - Old Town Nasi Lemak 

Shopping starts at Ipoh Parade right after we finished off our lunch and sent Cheryl off. I was still holding my Old Town Freeze when I walked into the mall. It's pretty filling, seriously.

Happiness ❤

After the loo, we started our clothes' hunt! I was the first to find a top that I like! (And could fit in. =P) But I didn't get it. Chia suggested that I KIV first as we've just entered that one store - I might find another blouse that I like and I can come back whenever I want. Suggestion accepted and somehow I became very VERY motivated to try out more clothes. Before this, I always thought that it's a waste of time to try out clothes that I know (or think) won't fit on me. Something changed my mind and I now think that I should just try out ANY type of clothing - I might find something unexpected! Be it a style that I used to dislike but looks good on me, or something that I loved so much but now it doesn't suits me anymore. At least I know what am I looking for now. =)

After nearly seven hours of walking and trying out clothes (I think I tried more than 15), we felt all worn out. Chia exclaimed that she couldn't feel her legs much coz the pain was killing her. We sat down at Shihlin and had a snack. We could still feel the Old Town Freeze in our bellies so we didn't actually have dinner that night.

Shihlin's XXL Crispy Chicken

At the end of the day, I did find some tops that I like but I didn't get all of them. Some are too costly and my budget limits me to buy only one or two that trip. I still managed to get a blood red blouse for myself. Mum will be glad coz it will nice for Chinese New Year. =P

Oh while we were looking at the girls' accessories at the top floor, I found these darlings!

The eyes look good in the photo with mustache guy, but it's sort of scary in a way.
I'll come back for the mustache ringggggg. 

A new habit I adopted after this shopping, camwhoring in fitting rooms. =D 

But I didn't take many photos of the clothes I love for a silly reason - I forgot. *headdesk*

This hand-knitted piece freaked me out with its price tag though I love it so much - RM86
P/S: Wendy loves herself super duper much in this photo hahaha!
Okay la I admit I love it too. XD

Those act cute faces - I can't believe I did it with Chia hahaha!

Learning how to capture photos with the big mirrors.
I omitted many trials. XD 

See the sweet roommates ❤

Finally a proper group take before we leave the mall.
We annoyed the workers of the store, a lot. =P

For the first time ever, I had girl shopping for nearly seven hours, bought clothes with friends, squeezed into a fitting room with others, and camwhored like no one else's business in the fitting rooms! I even laughed till I have tears in my eyes when Wendy and I first camwhored together.

I think I smiled to sleep that night. ❤

Mini Gathering, with FOOD!

On Wednesday, I enjoyed a few happy hours with SOBA kaki's! Wei Yun, Jo-Hannah, Luo Yi, Joee and I had a small (and short) gathering at Queensbay. ♥

I arrived the earliest at Qbay coz I had some stuff to tend to at the post office. Then I met Joee at Daiso, looked around for the things we needed, and then waited for the others at Popular. We didn't know what and where to eat. After filtering the food outlets from the food directory, we ended up at Sakae Sushi. 

Christmas Maki at Sakae!
Joee and I took photos of it and put it back onto the belt. =P

Wei Yun and I were eager for more food even after a few plates of salmon. Both Joee and her recommended Hokkaido's ice cream. And hence, our next stop. XD

Maccha Twist Biggu!
It's really good! I highly recommend this. XD

Credits to Joee's cousin, we took a few group photos before we sat down somewhere near the carpark entrance to chat. We shared a packet of Tempura from Shihlin, and then Wei Yun and I went to get ourselves Takoyaki hahaha!

Sweet Joee ♥ 

Wei Yun with her phone. XD 

Luo Yi with her banyak patterns that day. =P

This Jo-hannah still likes to cover her face every time she faces the camera. (=3=)

One of my favourite shots of the day! ♥ 

Jo-Hannah says it's not about the luoyi, it's about the smiley. XD

Looking for food, again. XD

See these people camwhore while Wei Yun and I were away for Takoyaki!

You both too!

Polaroid - The background looks like we were at a carpark hahaha!

 We chatted for quite a while, and then we decided to find a better place where we can chew something and chat at the same time.

The better place - Blackball!

We met up around 11am, but we had to bid goodbye around 3pm. It was a short gathering, but I really enjoyed the short hours together with'em. I always think that we don't miss our schools - what we miss are the friends we spent time together with in that school. It's SOBA that makes me miss those time in PCGHS the most.

♥ MY FAVOURITE GROUP TAKE OF THE DAY ♥ 

Steamed Rhino Horn Bananas

Guess what I have to eat for brunch today?

(Stupid la, it's clearly written at the title already.)

Steamed Rhino Horn Bananas!

a.k.a. Pisang Tanduk Kukus

It's actually bigger than normal bananas, not sure if you can see it from the photo.

Pisang Tanduk has the longest fruits among banana cultivars, reaching up to 2ft in length.

Normal ones are only 12-14 inches though.

It's one of my favourite food and we can't seem to find many Pisang Tanduk in Penang.

Luckily a cousin brought some from Melaka and we finally get to eat some. XD

Chocolate is Love!

Souvenirs from relatives who just went to Langkawi!

Thankyou so much!! ♥

Bread Sushi

VOILA!!

YongYong was brainwashing mum and I about some what homemade bread sushi his classmate brought to school. He kept telling us how nice and awesome it is and he wants to make it at home too. He said he tried once already before I came back. 

Now he even managed to brainwash my cousins and insists that he MUST make it for them today because they want to try. Oh well. So we got ourselves bread, sausages, seasoned seaweeds and some Japanese mayonnaise. 

Cross section view.

It's not hard to make. Just compress a slice of bread, put any flavouring you like, roll the sausage with the flavoured bread. Then you put some mayonnaise on the seaweed and wrap the 'rolled bread' by rolling it again. Don't put too much mayonnaise on the seaweed coz the purpose is just to let the seaweed hold onto the bread. That's all.

Surprisingly it tastes pretty good. XP

Nice Rice! XD

BEHOLD! 

My first attempt in steaming rice!! XD

And it's so much better than my previous attempts with the rice cooker. ><

MOO MOO CAKE! ♥

After two days of totally packed up schedules, I can finally rest for a night! Went out with dear for a very simple dinner, and he gave me a surprise WHEEEEE! ♥ (Not actually the BOO-SURPRISE kind of surprise but I appreciate it hee!)

MOO MOO CAKE!! ♥

I wanted to have this for months ever since I saw some friends sharing photos of it on FB. Dear had it last night and said it's very nice too! I kept imagining the buttermilk cream flavour and ended up drooling at the thought of it. XD A friend said it tasted kinda like ice cream OHMEEGOSHHHH!

FINALLY I HAVE IT!! IT'S IN MY FRIDGE NOW!! 

Thankyou dear! ♥
