Mc Value Lunch

there wus this Mc Value Lunch going on recently at Mc D. SOUNDS GREAT! so we give it a go couple of days ago

so wud's all this is about is that price cut for 4 different set meals :Mc Chicken, Double Cheese, Mc Nugget, Fillet-o-fish which all comes with regular soft drink and my favourite fries~ so me n dear choose for the double cheese and fillet-o-fish set which normally u can only get it at near RM10!!

But the catch is u gotta have to time and patient to wait for ur turn in the LONG~ 'Q' and also those food (burgers) that are meant to be hot has turn cold and those best serve chilled drinks are not as chill as it is after being pumped out earlier ... other than that the fries are still HOT!! Burgers' sizes is still the same!!

V Day Pressie ^^

Wu huhu expectantly i discovered diok sum evidence days before V day so there wasn't any surprise for the present itself actually hehe

but dear wus very "mysterious" about the way she gives me my 1st V day pressie. 1st little red heart shaped cards wit clue to the 2nd heart-shape little red card and then to the next and all wus hidden all over so i wus running all over from my room to the car and back to my room again where its rewarding to see this:

after dragging my tired body all over the place its so rewarding after all.

V Day = Happy Day~

Valentine's day just pass 48 hours ago, and my lappy has been kidnap by yien so cant update.. *hahaha rubbish reasons huh?*

okay now time for a most recent update about the Valentine's day which just passes.

So wud's valentine's day? couple buy each other flowers, chocolate, bears, candle light dinners and yada yada yada... I dont think so... these are just few of the many elements of V'day.. sumthing needs to be done in order to create a chemistry to blend all of the element together which makes up the true meaning of V'day.. to express sumthin to sumone..

recalling the X'mas eve experience that causes 2 hours plus of food hunting for a decent bowl of mushroom soup and carbonara.. i figure out that its not a wise choice burn the wallet for a choice less, tasteless, unworthy "take-it or leave-it" standardize uncontrolled quality dinner SET.

Its my 1st Valentine with this special gal, and so i tell myself well.. i cant let my 1st valentine as pek cek as the X'mas eve hunting simple food that we want for more than 2 hours getting food that is not as delicious as usual.. so i've decided to use around the same amount of money that would cost a couple to buy a standard SET dinner which every1 else wud hav had on V'day and make my very own "cheft at hum V day experience" for her.

My time was tight as recently my grandma has admitted into hospital and she need sum1 to look after her 24/7 plus my current contract has shrink into 2 years contract instead of 2 years and 4 months. Time's tight which means less time to tangkap ular.. and not to mention preparation..

On sum random brainstorming during day dream session, my mind generate the picture that i want on that night piece by piece.. little touch of the scene we 1st meet with all other element that she mention that she likes.. *hehe its more then our 1st Vday so effort is a must lo* cumulatively 8~10 hours surveying materials for decos, 3~4 hours doing purchasing.. and left 1 more day to the BIG day... hour plus to clean and rearrange my room [yup too long din do room keeping.. haha] since its night time i pull the running LED lights and set-up the dim light to test the effect.

on the morning of Vday we had breakfast like usual at the place wher we use to go. *I don wanna make much different so that the surprise level wud be emphasis on the night hehe* after sending her back hum after bfast, i rush to the site to finish up my task, being a bit dizzy after whole morning of restless job i drove my car for a wash and rest for a bit while waiting the car to be done. after that another round of rushing begins, collecting flowers and went back hum to prepare the balloons and sum final decos for fresh roses pedals, candlelight dinner tables and chairs so on which tooks the entire afternoon away... and so i had to continue cooking and then rush for a quick but clean shower making sure there's no food smell on me that cud leak my surprise.. * i wus actuallly quite worried that she doesn't like this arrangement... i really had very limited time to do all this.. and when i finish i myself still thinks there's lack of sumthin..

but anyway herecomes the night...
When i went to her house its quite dark so the bouquet of red and champagne color roses is tidily hide behind the tinted glasses before she enters the car, and when she enters the smile on her face just comforts me so much.. knowing my work is getting appreciated although the quality of the flower is less than i expected.. anyway i tricked her saying i had to go hum to take sumthin that i forgot..
reaching house i told her to help me get the things i left while i do sumthin downstairs, and in a flash i grab a lighter speed up to my room and light up the candle on the dining table before she comes in. double checking the lights are dim and music is on i let her into my room. the moment she enters i can feel that she's happy enuf that tears are coming out.. that moment i felt that all these things i did is so worth it and luckily i did wud i think i sud do...the hunting for a equally nice n cute bouquet of bears, baloons, roses, cooking preparation all are priceless the moment she smile from her heart.

We took our sweet time having dinner i prepare earlier in the comfort of my own room. Mushroom soup to start with follow by my signature classic spaghetti *though that night is a bit too dry hehe* camwhoring along the way and wraps up everything with Choc mud [a must for Vday ma], her favourite black forest all from secret recipe, flush down with nice and cold beer when we finish.

After that we went out finding ideal places to take photo for memories but then my energy level has really gone down by that time so i'd all sleepy face the photo session haha... but we really enjoyed our 1st Vday.

p/s: din have much photo through the process actually cuz of very limited time.. but anyway the photo that night its all at: here *hehe all photo has already nicely edited liao ma so i can curi tulan a bit lo ho hehe

Reunion dinner 09

okay~ its been a lazy holiday hangin ard not bloggin but travelin here n ther for all the junk foods and crushed drinks... so its time to update a bit

so backtracking to the very last nite recorded on lunar calender 08 where we hav reunion dinner

this year i made 2 simple dishes and help up on 2 of the others.

its like over a year since i last hold the knife and tose the wok so kind of forgotten the mixture of the recepi i accidentally discovered... LOL

I did i very basic sabah style hong kong kai lan but that's just little things so not to mention, so move on to the steam prawn... so innitially its marinated prawn in a bit of sugar and sum nice rice wine which i left out the wine during marination.. then comes to steam.. the timing wus perfectly correct which cooks the prowan just nice not over cooked that it became hard to chew.. the thing is i added too much sugar during marinate and a bit over 10 to 15 ml of water into the beaten eggs into the prawn so that makes the presentation not quite nice and the water in the egg's not really cooked but the prawn has already done... so my bad.. gottat do more cooking randomly... haha so here it is the steam prawn, the vege, "bak kui"[traditional cuisine from chao ann ppl mixed meat roll in tofu skin and deep fried] and production from my mum steam fish, sharkfin soup *drowling..*, fried rice and also the yummy "kacang-ma" [my mum's just tryin to use the chicken meat that's being ripped off from the bones used to made stock for the sharkfin soup, so she made this dish haha]
