socit ball homecoming 2007

sorry, folks. backdated entry again.

socit ball homecoming 2007 is the first and inaugural ball for both current socit students, alumni and staff to get-together. its also the first of any faculties in the college to organize an event like this, so three cheers to them!

despite being a business student in a computing school event, i didnt feel like an outcast. HAHA. anyway, got to know a few alumnus whom were all very friendly :)

reason for post being so late is cause i was patiently anticipating mr fuh-tog-ruf-fer/new friend found- ryan to upload the pics on his flickr. was too shy to bug him for the pics you see. anyway!

p/s: no food pictures this time! but you'll see me in almost all the pictures. HAHA.

**********

mom left for dubai this evening to look for dad. ok this sounds abit wrong. i mean she went to dubai to stay with dad for bout 2 months... so we're kinda liberated here :) ask me out, kays? LOL.

well good thing is this gives me a golden opportunity to polish up my cooking. after all, i guess i'll be the one taking over mom's job of washing, mopping, sweeping, cooking and waiting for my sis to come home, to which i am sure they'll be calling back very oftenly and say, "im not coming back for dinner". anyway, being a housewife is really not easy! salute my mom, even till the last minute before getting ready to leave she mopped the floor and cooked our dinner and it was only 4pm! but i also helped lah okay...

okay so what should i eat today? hmmmm...

choon yien chicken rice

restoran choon yien

been wanting to go here ever since learning bout their special crispy roasted chicken. not just your average chicken rice where the roasted chicken skin is all soft and soggy. thus we decided to drop by choon yien for their chicken rice after redeeming tickets for royal london circus and movie under the stars at menara the star @seksyen 16.

after the food foundry visit, we've finally found our way around seksyen 17. well, i dont think it'll be any problems if you know the happy mansion apartments area cos all the good food just seems to be around there. we have 6-10 grill nasi lemak on our list next...

steamed chicken stock based rice with traces of garlic and ginger

char siew and crispy roasted chicken

crispy roasted chicken

i had the crispy roasted chicken rice while param had the char siew and chicken combo. frankly speaking, it did delight me that the chicken has really crispy skin, ive never had chicken rice with that kinda chicken before. the meat was really tender as well... but we both found it somewhat salty. but after awhile... i found myself breathing silently, "damn, this chicken rice is good!"

param commented that the char siew was quite fatty. must be a fat pig he's eating heheh.

prices are abit high at rm5 for each set compared to the usual rm3.50 you can get elsewhere. but then again, this is crispy roasted chicken we're talking about. you can get it nowhere else but here (for all i know lah).

oh, everything seems to sell off pretty fast too. so, dont come after the lunch crowd or you'll have only bones and chicken necks left!

p/s: the proprietor is the first english speaking chicken rice man i met throughout my life of eating chicken rice. can be funny when he calls customers 'brother'.

o'briens

o'briens
gourmet coffee. irish sandwiches

param and i dropped by at the curve today to redeem the live & loud kl tickets. read about it later part of the post :)

he wanted to get his fix of ikea hotdog since we were at the area anyway... but later suggested o'briens for brunch. o'briens serves sandwiches, sandwiches and sandwiches. in m'sia, we see it as a snack/something light to fill our stomach (at least for me) but HAHA ask anyone in the US/UK now... they'd probably be cursing me for posting food that they're so sick of now.

lalalalalala... but anyway!

chilled beverages corner

*mouth watering* fillings

param's triple toostie- rm16.50

my hot honey chilli chicken wrappo- rm15.50

param's grape sparkling juice- rm 7.50

param's bill- rm26.25

i regretted ordering my wrappo. param's tripple decker looked and tasted so good. plus, i wasnt even full after the wrappo... which prompted us to get our REAL lunch @seksyen 17. will blog about it in the next post. stay tune!

7 coupons from star metro to redeem for 1 LIVE & LOUD KL tix!
we redeemed 4 tix, param bought 21 copies of the star today, while i got mine free- from the house and from the college. HAHA. cheap thrills, no frills yea.

this is not actual tix, but somesort like a 'pass' to redeem the real tix on that day itself.

paddington house of pancakes

paddington house of pancakes

yes, we're finally here! paddington house of pancakes! heard and read alot about it and luckily all 4 of us makan club members- jill, kenneth, param and i- hadnt try it before. so we were a tad bit too jakun. HAHA.

the big book of menu

we paid a visit to the 1 utama outlet cos we were scheduled for the movie "beowulf" after that. upon entering the premise, we were seated by a friendly waiter and given a menu each. the word "menu" doesnt even justify it. it was like a wedding photo album- the size and thickness, except theres no wedding photos lah. there were 138 items in the book and yeah we just kept flippin and flippin but dunno what to order. EVERYTHING LOOKS AND SOUNDS SO GOOD !

BIG colorful pictures from the menu-
how can anyone not want to steal the menu, eh?

p/s: i even asked the waiter if they sell the book of menu. he said no -_- but im planning to steal it in my next visit. jill bring your biggest bag ok.

november table 11

okok so about 20 mins of flippin' and flippin'... we made up our minds, and these are what we had to pop our paddington cherry.

kenneth's choice from savoury american pancake stakes
double gourmet cheese sausages, beef salami, hash brown & grilled mozzarella- rm22.50

my choice of pannekoek
'vienna' gourmet sausages, onions, fresh button mushroom & mozzarella- rm18.50

param's grilled chicken burger- rm20.50
grilled chicken breast with cameralizaed onions, grilled cheddar, peppers, chicken ham & hashbrown

jill's mushroom omellet- rm18.50
cocktail sausages, cherry tomatoes, mashed potatoes, mushroom omellet

pot of gold- rm10.50

bite sized dollar pancakes with mini marshmallows, nuts, ice cream & choco sauce

sprite float- rm6.50

passionfruit citron crush- rm10.50

peanut butter & banana shake- rm12.50

food comes in portions that you can eat up by yourself or for sharing depending on your hungry-o-meter. mine was at its alarming peak, so i finished everything myself. actually, i think it depends also on which item you order as you can see my choice of vienna pannekoek* doesnt look that heavy compared to jill's mushroom omellet.

*Dutch pannekoek ('pan-ne-kook') are popular 12" thin pancakes eaten mainly for lunch and dinner.

pp/s: oh yeah, for the month of nov with rm50 and above in a single recepit, there is a FREE dessert. there are two choices- pot of gold or the plain pancake with lemon juice, sugar and blueberries. no, you cannot sit together but split the bills to have more than one free dessert :( maybe you can tryna go in and pretend you dunno each other but after making orders, pretend that you met the other fler coincidently and request to be seated together but splitting the bill. omg am i a genius or what.

tastewise, who would have known simple easy-to-make pancakes can make it big and taste so good with both savoury and desserts. after having this, i bet nobody will look at pancakes the way it was before. pancakes? cheh, cheap food.

total bill- rm127.55

definitely on the pricey side... somebody please come up with a pancakes house at a food foundry price and location!!

worthy of a revisit but maybe not so soon.

************

beowulf was... i dont really like it. enuff said.

mcdonald's

the other day i was left home alone. it was 3pm something and i hadn't had lunch... instant noodles are my best friends so the thought of eating them up shudders me ;-) and so i drove out to the mcd drivethru located in the neighborhood.

since the inception of the system that requires you to order and pay at 2 different stations (i think its a waste of time and i hate the system), i've never did went drivethru. shuddup i know i suck at adapting to new technologies. you see, my 1st experience with the system didnt go so well, i actually went home empty handed not knowing what to say to the speakers :(

but! i finally did overcome my fear of talking to a speaker and communicating with a monitor screen. yeah, my McDrivethru phobia is gone!!!

and these are what i had for late lunch...

the *new* spicy chicken mcdeluxe ala carte- rm6.90

the *new* cornetto mcflurry- rm4.50

free small fries with kids club card
(eh, dun tell me you didnt apply the card for the freebies)

freshly squeezed orange juice not included
(dont take too much soft drinks! at least when you eat unhealthy food, drink lah something healthy to balance it up!)

total bill- rm11.97
(if i had chosen to eat my best friends- the instant noodles it would only cost me NOTHING, comes free when you live with your parents, heheh *wink!*)

i think it'll be my first and last time having the spicy chicken mcdeluxe. it's really spicy! i prefer my burgers to be non-spicy. i actually love kfc's original fillet burger but its so small compared to mcdeluxe. oh well, mcdeluxe is double the price of kfc's so i guess the size justifies it. the cornetto mcflurry is really nice. i like the nuts and chocolate chips in it... as for the fries, IMHO, mcd fries is the bestest among all fast food joints (esp the outlet in ss15 opposite inti college).

found something funny on google image:

"Welcome to McDonalds. Give me your money. It's a McCrime."

i'm lovin' it
available at places where there's humans ;)
