Genting Here We Come! / Family Reunion Dinner

Well.. yesterday was my friend's, Nat
b'day.( I'm sure she's reading it now)
So, she planned this trip to genting months ago..
Actually it was her wish to celebrate her b'day
in genting with her pals.

Initially there's 6 ppl involved BUT
somehow it narrowed down into HALF!
Yes..3 ppl! she was devastated..I was disappointed
at the others.. There was excuses like "ghost" n stuff..
*sigh* She planned this for so long so i went along with it.

But i had a another prob.
U know First World Hotel is HUGE.
So, my parents gt really..really..worried
when they heard there's gonna be 3 of us only without
any adult supervision. They were ok with the 6 of us
earlier cuz we gt more ppl.

They were afraid we might be taken advantage of or..worse.haha
Inform my friend n she said her dad's going..
Was so embarrassed for dragging her dad to come along..
But her dad was cool with it.

Woke up 8 am n got ready..
went dwnstair..my uncle n cousin n my mum
was eating breakfast..Ate nasi lemak which my
uncle bought n the ang ku kueh that he bought for me! (simply love this kueh!)
Then.. the 3rd person, Ben missed called me..

i glanced outside n saw him waiting. ( he's lives 2 streets away!
practically my neighbour)
He disturbed my dog because they loathed each other..haha
Nat picked us up n OFF WE GO!
After about an hour, we finally reached there,
We checked-in..

I was wonderstruck..It's been a really REALLY
LOOONG time since the last time i been here..
We then bought tickets n played outdoor.
It was cool at first then it got colder n colder..
BBBUUUUUURRRR....
I think nearly got frostbite or something!

We played some really thrilling ride.
The roller coaster n some ride that brings u up n comes dwn really fast!
I can feel the inertia. Rode the spinner n more.
Ate bento set at food court.. (kinda pricey but I was
a pescetarian) Played indoor n ate Pizza Hut 4 dinner
(Nat's dad treat)

At night.. many ppl text n called the b'day girl..
I was tired n slept fast. But was awaken by nat's
gummy bear ringtone.HAHA( ben hates the song though)
Woke up n ate Maggi Mee..
Washed up n waited for a long time fot the flying coaster
to open. the ride is Rm12 PER ride.
Bumper Boat

Was scared because earlier they checked n run
some test on the ride. I was worried about it!
when got onto the ride. They lock us but i dun feel
secure..then we were brought about 180 degrees.
Then the rest is history. i closed my eyes the whole time.
I know..i know.. i'm a chicken shit but for only this ride! haha

We went back about 4 ish n reached about 5.45.
I enjoyed my trip to genting with my pals;)
then went for a family dinner

Hot Touch Burger ( unhealthy i know)
An Indian Dance Performance JAI HO!

Roti Canai 2.0

About a week ago, my mum
decided to make a small portion of
"Nikki's Fish Head Curry"
fish head curry because there's some
fish head in the freezer. Helped my mum after
playing badminton with my pals.

We add some vegetables too! YUM!
*Dinner time...*
"Eh! My curry not bad eh!", my mum said.
"Of course. Because u name it after me mummy dearest", i said
( my mum called it "Nikki's Curry"..haha.. but i just chopped the vege
n pour the santan.lol)
"We should save this curry for ROTI CANAI!", i said
"OKOK! We make later ok? Cigie help out too ah!", mum said
"Hah....?", Miss Sugar hesitated

The next hour, there we were..
kneading the dough..
( i think i sweat the most!haha.. high metabolism i guess)
my mum finished kneading way b4 i did..even my maid..
Before
"C'mon Nikki!! Getting there!!YAH!!!(koreans usually say that)", i said to myself
Then we place the dough into a container filled with oil
to prevent it frm drying out..

All i can say is CHENG ah!! (delicious!)

After




ROTI CANAI soaked in oil
Made Black Eyed Bean Tong Sui

Apple Bread Pudding/Christmas Excitement!

Saw a multigrain loaf left in the fridge..
(expensive loaf frm bread story!)
Been there for some time n decided
too finished it. If not, i'll be eating toast for the next
 few days!

Went through the bread pudding recipe
 n decided to give it a twist. Searched n found
apple bread pudding. Checked my fridge n
there's only one apple left. Wanted to use a
granny smith which gives a tart n sweet flavour
but i used the red delicious apple.

Grab some raisins, chopped some walnuts
n i cooked the chopped apples abit to soften it.
The recipe called for milk but i substitute it
with condensed milk because my mum can't drink
milk for a certain reason.

Assembled the (already dried ) bread n poured
the egg n milk mixture. Sprinkle some brown sugar
on the top to give a crisp crust.:)
Into the oven for 30 mins. I watched the pudding
expanding n getting bigger n bigger!

Test it with a chopstick n i wobbled it to make sure
its cooked. took it out n the bread pudding deflated.:(
Daddy came home with rojak n cendol!( extra sotong
and red bean! yay!)
Daddy ate 2 bread pudding! haha..so happy:)
I ate 1 too but would have tasted better with milk..






edited this!
i simply can't wait for christmas for an ultimate bake-off!


drew this while i was bored..doesn't look like Miss sugar right?
I'm an apple addict!

Edited this pic of me for X'mas! HAHA!

*BURP!* Garlic Breath much?

Egg Yolk Squid
Yesterday we went to Restaurant Shamelin
for dinner. Saw the article in the newspaper:)
On the way there.. it was creepy..we had to drive through the alley
and it was dark! there was no streetlights at all!




the convict!! can see all the garlic?

Mongolian Chicken..curry and buttermilk..

We finally found the place!
We ordered their specialities.:)
After we ate.. our breath smelt garlic! It was so strong that i could smell it myself. Miss Sugar even said,"Nikki, could u stop talking? I can smell ur garlic breath!" haha!
Even when i woke up this morning, i still have a hint of garlic breath. keke..

Why Are You So Addictive?

That very night, we finally get to go
to Midah Night market. SOOO HAPPY!!
Cause we bugged our dad last week but
our 'persuading' failed:(

You see.. Miss Sugar and I purposely
go to that night market because they have the
best KEDONDONG! It is so kaw!! ( no words to describe
this sour sensation!) Miss Sugar said that next time we'll order
straight 2 drinks each! HAHA!
My dad complaint it's sourness but he kept drinking ours!
(he secretly likes the drink. me think!)

Before that we ate Bak Kut Teh nearby..
second time i been there. :)
Kept drinking the soup~ hehe..
Later we walk around the night market.
Wanted mum to buy the Dou Sao Bao Bing
but it was a long queue and we usually order
alot..i mean ALOT.




Black Sesame Cake!
 So we bought cakes next door. They have the
Best Cheese Cake ( not the new york cheesecake type
but the sponge cake type but it's not dry yet its moist..
ergh! hard to explain!)
Marble Cake!

Coffee & Cheese!

The yummy Cheesecake! Moist eh?

A Different Spin

That Sat, my mum came into my room
and asked us to get ready to go Sungei Wang
so that we could shop around while my dad get a hair cut.
We bought many nice clothes at low prices.

I even managed to get a piping bag for
icing! HOHOHO!
After that, we waited for my dad to finish
and it was lunch time.
We decided NOT to go to Lot 10 Hutong
because we did not want to fight with the crowd.

So we settled with a restaurant beside the T-bowl( toilet restaurant..
wanted 2 go there but parents were grossed out by their concept)
which is Pontian Wanton Noodles!
Yum yum and affordable:)
I ordered their the wantan mee which had fried wanton, char siew n vegies.
when saw the variety of their 'tong sui', i did not know what to choose.
Instead of the typical green bean and red bean soup. I chose the peanut soup










A sip?


The peanut soup was very interesting.
It's not your usual creamy blended luscious peanut cream soup.
But it's like split peanut boiled in soya bean ( i think).hehe..
the wantan mee was different. You can choose chilli, black sauce+ chilli
or tomato sauce (yuck!). i chose the second one!
It wasn't spicy enough for me so i had to eat with the pickled chilli.:)
No Chilli, No Love!
Overall, it was a yummy lunch! We enjoyed it!


Smooth creamy roasted KOPI


We even drop by at Fahrenheit 88
to grab a coffee. I don't usually drink coffee but kinda miss the Ipoh white coffee "feel".^^
