I dress like this

Went to cousin's wedding at Alor Setar last Sunday, quite a rush one as I don't have Wesak Day replacement on the next day, how sad!

Love this photo of the day, a little sneak peak on my outfit. Laugh.

Just a short one.

안녕하세요

Longing for Korean food for a month, so lucky to find myself some good accompanies to Aza Aza Starvil. Together with some of my colleagues and ex-colleagues, laugh, we went for the Korean Cuisine after our work. 

It's not easy to find an authentic Korean restaurant in Penang; the owner of the restaurant is a Korean and marry with a Malaysian girl.

Here come our free flow side dishes, normally in a Korean restaurant you will get to eat their Kimchi, seasoned vegetables, homemade rice crackers and mash potato. The mash potato is awesome and we refilled it for times.

Japchae . RM19.90

It's Korean sweet potato noodle a.k.a winter noodles pan fried with pork and vegetables; recommended by the owner, it was quite okay.

Aza Aza Special BBQ . RM24.90

Another dishes recommended by the owner with house signature spicy marinated pork, they have waiters to serve you on this.

The barbecue meat is served together with lettuce leaves and onions, great combination!

Kimchi Jjigae . RM17.90

My favourite kimchi stew with sliced pork, tofu and cellophane noodles, you can choose either it served with white rice or ramen.

Dolsot Bibimbap . RM13.90

Always see it in drama and now I was actually having it in real! Hot stone bowl rice with egg, seaweed and vegetables, served with a bowl of seaweed soup. It will be nicer if they mix with spicy-er sauce. 

Ddeokbokki . RM19.90

Another signature dish for Korean restaurant, spicy fried Korean rice cake with pork and vegetables. Chewy.

Finally got my satisfaction over here, yet I still miss the one I had at Kuala Lumpur, even nicer than here. Laugh.

어떻게 지내?

Pitter-Patter

A blink of eyes, May came and chucked April away from us, that was how my quarter year finished with lots of love from friends and family; more to come! I'm standing still on my place, I realized it's time for me/us to step forward, to chase for our bigger dream. 

Early of May, the season of rain.

Last one for this year

Since we had holiday at Labour Day, a night before the holiday, me and Shaun went to Mario's Ristorante at Batu Ferringhi, my last birthday celebration, finally. Laugh. Went there for great food since it is recommended by his sister.

I always passed by the restaurant but never discovered this lovely place yet until that night; most of the customers in the restaurant were foreigners, because Mario's is known for its Italian cuisine and also a wine list that suit many palates. 

Got our seats at indoor instead of road side, the area is quite huge, and suitable for any occasions.

This restaurant has an open kitchen that give us the opportunity to see how are the food were prepared, in the woodfire brick oven.

Antique phone that caught my eyes that night, and look at the wine bottles, they have become a candle stand for decoration purpose.

Some snapshot while waiting for our food; impressed with the bottle design that they used to put olive oil and vinegar, pine nut-like.

Pina Colada . RM18

Finally get to have another try on it aftersince I had one at Chicago Rib House which they had obsoleted from their menu. That's something like cocktail which mixed with rum, malibu and pineapple juice; my satisfaction of the day.

Carpacio Alla Salmon . RM20.50

A layer of smoked salmon, sliced parmesan cheese accompanied on a bed of fresh lettuce, drizzled with balsamic sauce, and capers.

Cheese and Spinach Patties . RM15.50

Their signature starter: lightly steamed spinach, blended with ricotta cheese, rolled and topped with a napoletana sauce. 

Fettucine Carbonara . RM29.50

Fettucine is cooked with crispy bacon, chopped onions, butter, egg, whipped cream, parmesan cheese and parsley, rich yet yummy!

Mario's Pizza Special . RM34.50

Every restaurant will have their own signature dish, Mario's own one as well, they topped their pizza with red and green capsicum, onions, red tomatoes and artichoke hearts, not to forget the slice pepperoni.

I could be the driver, smile. 

Lush Greenery . Part 2

While we were eating our dinner, waiter handed us an invitation card a.k.a post card, for the Helen's Handmade Bear Solo Exhibition at Ferrighi Garden Art Terrace. The owner, Helen claimed that all the bears are handmade and she used for months just to finish a bear, impressed with her hard-work. Bears are for sales too, and part of the sale will go to Penang's Child Protection Centre.

 Little bears that placed on top of the cake, most of the bears are quite costly as she created all of Teddy Bears her own.

Love this colorful button bear which cost around RM700, the only bear in the exhibition without its face features. 

She also has a few of theme collections, which are not for sale, some are gifts from her friends, she unveil all the design to us.

The bears that I could own, which only cost RM10, obviously not a handmade bear from Helen.

Saw this pair of love bears on the exhibition, which cost about RM4000! Helen said the fur is real wool and she sew it on top one by one, their eyes are made from glass, you may store them up to 90 years and the bears are still that good. Worth?

I miss the bear with christmas hat.
