Life is simple

My Chinese New Year always not that liveliness and busy, mostly met up all my relatives on day one and ended up we got nothing to do on the rest of the days. What I can do was just hang out with my parents and friends, and today I went to have dinner with parents. 

Went to Gurney Plaza where most of the shops are closed; mum suggested to eat Nando's, I was actually just had it a week ago. Laugh.

Now they have this little bowl to put all the sidelines, although I prefer don't have, easier to engorge my portion of meal. Munch. 

. . . . . . . . . .

Love my night with Ee Kee and Poh Khoon; were just sitting in McDonald's and playing Where Is My Water until late night.

First day of Dragon year

First day of Chinese New Year, we actually did the same thing like last few years; went to visit my aunties and uncles to get angpow. Laugh. This year, weather was not that broiling like last year, a good thing; Gan was at Penang to visit his relatives and met up with me. 

The hot spot during Chinese New Year always goes to Kek Lok Si Temple, couldn't imagine that I was really went up there with Gan at the very first day to squeeze myself in the huge crowd of people. Parked at the half way and we walked up to the temple. 

Pots of flowers which placed outside the hall, most of them were bought by people and they wrote names on the pot to make a wish.

Gan was really enjoyed his photo session at this beautiful place and he even brought his tripod together with him. Laugh. 

Photo of the day: just simply took a snap on it but came out as a good photo instead. Whenever I go there, I'll climb up this pagoda and I got to see the night view of Penang, sometimes it interspersed with some fireworks which make it even more beautiful.

Your secret is safe with me.

Sawatdee Kaa

Sawatdee Kaa~ Finally paid a visit to Khuntai, an authentic Thai restaurant famous with their Thai food; which I think their food had been localized to fit our Malaysian taste-buds. Met up with Ee Kee and off we went to this restaurant which situated besides her house. 

We couldn't make any reservation and we found our seats just next to the beach, we had good view, sea breeze and nice food all in one. 

White Tom Yam

Deep Fried Calamari and Deep Fried Prawns with Starch

Crisp Fried Kangkong in Flour

Me, Poh Khoon and Ee Kee at the night after we finished our dinner.

Three of us spent around RM60++ for nice food, and people were still a lot when we left the restaurant. Was then met up with Chee Yan and Khor to watch The Viral Factor; first thought the movie was just okay, but the ending is quite good and touching. Love my night and I can't wait for the Chinese New Year now.

Soon will lack of sleep for a week during CNY. Laugh. 

Always twenty-three

Been heard of Table Twenty-Three for quite some times, and only visited them now. Were dumped by friends, so we chose to have great dinner and tried to compensate ourselves. Laugh. They used to have great deal at Ezivoucher, faced the full house problem due to the overwhelming responses. We just tried our luck without doing any reservation, hoped to get a seat in it; we reached there and ta-da, no people in the restaurant, we made ourselves as the first two customers; it was like we book the whole restaurant. 

Heart the white chandelier, it makes the restaurant seems so classic.

The lovely wall sticker, it caught my sight once I entered the restaurant, just love the simpleness of it and the Eiffel Tower.  

They hang lots of Europe photos on wall, love the reddish double decker bus the most; and I have a postcard with the same photo too.

Ice Lemon Tea vs Lime Juice

Starter before the main course: Vegetables Salad

Mushroom soup with garlic bread, but the soup is not dense enough, I expected more from them actually. Laugh.

Grilled Salmon in Tangerine Cream Sauce . RM22.80

Braised Lamb Shank . RM28.80

Vanilla Chips Ice-cream

For the dinner, you can add on RM5 to get the set including the salad, drink, soup of the day and dessert; only add on RM3 for lunch. 

They closed their upstairs since customers are not many during Chinese New Year period; we did explored it when the girl brought us to the washroom. If there's next time, I'll definitely go for seats on upstairs, it's even cozier and warmer with sofa and piano.

Not to forgot the wine bar and cellaret that full with good wines. The bucket that full with wine corks make me gone crazy; I wish to collect corks with nice pattern on it. Anyone please donate some for me, please? Laugh.

Things changed

Last day of work in Rabbit Year, and let's welcome the Dragon year with happy heart, and hope everything is going smooth. Pray hard. Before the day end, I went to have steamboat dinner with some of my colleagues and we went to bowling too. Enjoyable night!

The only red element in my cubicle. Happy Chinese New Year!
