Kung Fu Tea Experience

While I was in KL with my sis, mum and fellow aunties...We stayed at the Park Royal on Jalan Sultan Ismail. There is this really cool restaurant called the Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant. They served Sichuan (Szechuan) and Cantonese style dishes. However, the dining experience was made memorable by the master tea pourer serving the restaurant's signature Eight Treasures Tea with his 1 metre nose tea kettle with such precision. It was totally awesome to see him perform his KUNG FU stances before pouring the tea. I took a video of him but I don't think I can load it. But here's the picture.

Apologies...

Hehehee....I made someone comment on my blog and then I didn't even update it for a week. So sorry... I got carried away with Uni stuff and had a busy weekend. I'll make it up to you my loading up stuff NOW.

Back to my books (Nerd mode)

Summer holidays are over. Its time to fill my days with crowded tram rides..sweaty people..(hopefully without any BO)...icy poles and all things yummy. Its my 2nd week back at Uni and I should really start reading. I'm so glad I did some Anatomy pre-reading on head and neck today (even though i dun remember much by the time i got to the lecture!hehehe).

All I can do for the next few months is to just close my eyes...and think back of the happier times I had when I was back in Malaysia. No books to read...no Trigeminal nerve (V1-V3)...no bones...just plain kampung style relaxation filled with Nasi lemak, kan lao mien, durian, sang nyuk mien, Yoyo, satay and Salim's roti roti.

Giving is a wonderful thing

A few weeks before chinese new year, I had the chance to follow mum and some church members to do some charity work. The congregation donated money and we bought 300 bags of white rice and collected boxes of clothes. These were to be donated to the villagers that had their rice paddies damaged during the floods. Most of their homes are not affected, just their source of income was ruined.

Whilst they were giving out the rice, I mingled with the children...taking snap shots of them..they were absolutely POSERS. So cute. And they had such clean big teeth! hehhee. The village was very neat and tidy. They even have their own church. Which is awesome to know.

Feeling pineapple-ly

Checkout the little UFOs i made with mum. Each one is handmade to perfection. The pastry is 10 g and insert is 5 g. We weighed each one!!! So much time and effort put into it. We just had to make everyone eat it when they came to our place during the lunar new year. Pineapple tart...yummm.

Dessert Land

In HK...they never run out of mangoes. Be it winter or summer...mango is always on the menu. This time round, the King of the fruits a.k.a the DURIAN was also a major dessert. They put whole durians into jello..then whack on some ice-cream. With mangoes, I tried them wrapped with mochi and sprinkled with coconut shavings. Kinda weird but taste yummy.

Busy little bees

While in HK this time, my sis, future mum, Joe and I did lots of wedding preparation. We went crazy and got all the traditional red stuff....including red lacey umbrellas..the 'Kua'...made a cheong sam....cute embroided shoes...etc etc. Won't reveal too much on the blog. Will let u have a 'surpise' on the wedding day....

Oh and we went to Victoria Peak too.....the night view was a bit hard to catch with my camera....not that my photo taking skills are lousy but it was SOOOOO windy and very dark. Ok ok ... i admit...my skills are not that good after all. But hey....i got a new camera!

We also caught up with Joe's best man Frank who was also holidaying back in HK. Guess what? We had dinner at Felix @ the Peninsula Hotel. Food was not too bad....my fish was rather salty but the view was fantastic...skycrapers everywhere. I can't load the picture of the Felix restaurant. Must be my technical skill again...*_*

Snowy

Joe's dog in HK. We found this scary looking mask in the garage and decided Snowy should have a go at it. I think someone used it for Halloween. The poor dog decided not to move after we covered its head...hhehee...

Note: This is not animal abuse.

This dog uses Pantene so she smells absolutely fresh.
