ok...no more..!!

..japanese food for now lo..hehe

was walking around sunway pyramid yesterday because i had to satisfy this huge craving for something and then decided to try out this eating place while waiting for my something to be prepared..the place was kinda crowded, so i thought, must be okay one lo.. mana tahu..




err..this was supposed to be squid lo..tasted flat. the breaded crumbs used not so appropriate lo..like eating those locally made frozen fried sotong like that..luckily not taste like rubber lo..







err...another flat tasting dish, chicken fried rice..i always thought japanese fried rice supposed to be extremely tasty one but this one like my coffee shop fella cook one lo..totally no salt, no aroma..haih..








supposed to be ebi tempura but what i tasted was tepung tempura only ..luckily the prawn no boric acid taste..otherwise, epic fail lo..







my friend ordered this chicken teppanyaki but i think i can make nicer teppanyaki. this one was more like salt-free stir-fried taugeh & cabbage only..the teppanyaki outlet at the pavillion food court is still the best lo..





it seems like everyone's getting into the food industry nowadays..hmm, i think i can open up shop also lo like that, going by the quality of food dished out by some people out there....haih..


nevermind, fortunately hor, my excitement yesterday came from elsewhere....right after that meal, i quickly quickly rushed up to get my "something" lo.. wheeeeeeeeeeeee





ladies & gentlemen, i present to you my latest craze..!!

BLACKBERRY Bold 3 (9780) !! hehehehehe.. i was using the BB Curve 3G 9300 model for a few months and kinda liking it more and more each day lo.. and i've been biting my nails anxiously waiting for the BB 9900 to be launched but it seems like that is like taking forever and i've got no more nails left on my fingers ah !!..so i really had to go out there and get this one to tie me over for the time being ..or at least until the dusts are settled on the 9900 lo, it being a new OS7 and yada yada yada..and probably gonna be so so expensive when launched anyway..so it'll probably be like a year or so down the road before i think about getting the 9900 lo.. (hmm..but that's what i said when i bought the 9300 4 months ago ..aiyooo..like so deja vu like that eh? ..hehe)

dont get me wrong though, i still get heaps and heaps of fun with my HTC Incredible S but that one's a totally different ball game lo.. but for twitter, bbm, whatapps, emails, nothing beats my blackberry (for now..)...!! hehehehe..

. Anime no tochi? Iya, kore wa tada no ishō wa...

アニメ土地いや、これはただの衣装... (means i thought i was in anime land but no lah..it was just costume play..)



i thought i
went to tropicana city mall yesterday but sekali i walked in, i felt like that i was in japan like that..suddenly all these anime characters were alive and walking around, dancing, prancing here & there...aiyooo eh so cute these people..but i also saw characters like captain jack sparrow (who must have landed his ship in japan by mistake) and the grim reaper and and...aiyoo, i also cannot recall all these other movie characters that got caught up with those japanese characters..it's cool i guess for these kids/adults to indulge in their fantasies..luckily hor they don't actually fly, kick, jump, shoot or kill like what they are capable of in the movies..otherwise, it would be real havoc..hahahaha






























..so after all that excitement, must of course go eat japanese food right...? hehehe..this time around, we ended up in a very very good outlet..Sushi Tei..nice, the nicest japanese food i've had so far..





this is salmon fried i think..did not think fried salmon would be nice..as usually they are used in sashimi..but this one was not bad..not bad at all..











this is crispy ebi mentai mayo..meaning crispy shrimp with salmon roe & mayonaise..so so tasty, the mixture of shrimp & salmon roe was heavenly..almost melt in the mouth kinda feeling...












negitoro maki fried..is like tuna wrapped in seaweed and then fried..ok..not what i liked but only because i don't really like the taste of tuna..












and finally this is ebi & yasai kakiage or shrimp & vegetable tempura..got bits of fresh onions in there..i thought it was rather nice but my friend said this one similar to the mamak style kuih..ya meh?







i had actually wanted to go to chicken king one, but after seeing those cosplay characters, suddenly my tummy felt like having japanese food..but of course, i got walked2 a few times round and round near the chicken king outlet lo..it was so hard but had to restrain myself from going in lo ..kekekeke. next time, i shall "attack" the chicken king outlet like nobody's business...

mommy kena pulak..

...hahahaha...kakakakaka..

i had wanted to bring me mom out for a belated mother's day lunch/hi-tea the other day and was wondering where she might want to go eat..then suddenly, some one coincidentally drop off a promotional brochure for a "new" cafe near my office on that day itself... (new as in someone took over an older setup lor..). anyhoo, me and my staff were all going gaga over the foodie pics and thought...hmmm, looks so tasty, let's all go there..

..and of coz, more delicious-looking food pics awaited us at the place as we salivated over their menu, so we just started ordering like nobody's business lo..

and here's what we got..





i could have sworn what i saw on the brochure was a yummy looking bowl of prawn mee (you know, as in har-meen)...this one looked like dead prawns swimming in brown water..tasted like dead prawns swimming in brown water too lo...aiyooo..














this one was their supposedly special vegetable selection..errr..nothing special lo..only edible lo..ok lah, ok lah, at least got taste lo..











another brown looking dish came out...it smelled quite good actually when it was served, and we thought...wah, finally..but then when we took a bite, it tasted like the same dead prawns used in the prawn noodle dish..to be fair, it was very crispy though but had a strong boric acid taste to it..hmmm..maybe it was deep fried "mummified" prawns..but they called it special fried prawns lo..









yet again..another brown colored dish came out..but this one tasted ok actually...it was tau fu broth or was it soup..no, it was broth that had a thick soupy texture to it..aiyah..nvm we slurped it all up anyway, we were that hungry you see..












luckily this one has reds and greens in addition to the brown color..hahahaha and finally we all agreed that this one was actually the best dish of the whole lot..this one is their sweet & sour chicken..(luckily we no ordered the prawn version...kakakaka)






the bill came to rm148 which fed 7 of us..the quantities were rather huge but we were really disappointed with what was served to us..we got conned by beautiful tasty looking food pics again lo..haih..this one epic fail..

then the next day, me mom called to say she got a bad tummy run that morning and wanted to know if we all had the same thing..but no lo..i told her it must have been her vegetarian breakfast that she took earlier that day..otherwise hor..i sure go tell ten thousand of my friends never to go eat there...

mommy no more...

...wheeeeeeee...mommy lizard that is..

woot2..finally managed to trap mommy lizard in this contraption used for trapping cockroaches..we've had to use Jacob's Zero Cholesterol, High Calcium crackers topped with Low Fat Australian margerine as bait because we've tried many other bits and pieces of food and mommy just did not take the bite..!! i think she must be one of those new age health conscious lizzie..kekekeke







see mommy peeking up to see who so brave to go and trap her like that..














no place to run eh...? hehehehehe







so now..what do i do with a trapped lizzie? shall i toast it with marshmallow ? or shall i just boil mommy lizzie to death...huarrgghhhhh!! so cruel me..yeah !!

actually no lah, i will just take the whole cockroach trap and dump it in the big rubbish bin nearby...and give mommy lizzie a second chance at life elsewhere...away from my pantry.. but if she ever comes back, i'm gonna make sushi rolls out of her...kakakakaka :OP

..yummilicious..

..just a short post about my recent visit to The Curve to watch Fast & Furious with a friend..decided to go for the platinum class..wah liao..!! each ticket cost RM40-00...aiyooo, but hor there are only like 24 seats in the cinema and all the seats are those that you can recline all the way one..it's like sleeping on the sofa and watching a movie at home like that..the seats are actually quite big leh, big enough for two persons..hahaha but of coz, no one would be so cheapskate to seat two in one lo..got waiter on-standby so want to try also cannot lo..haha and they make the room so so cold like until you have to rent a blanket (RM5 per piece..!!) ..hmmm...good idea actually, maybe i should do the same for my business..hehehe... but i like it that i can just press a button, and a waiter would come take my order..wah seh..the menu not bad also leh..can have fried chicken wings and french fries and haagen daaz ice-cream and etc..etc.. hehe... would have ordered everything on the menu if only i had not gone for dinner at the fish market..which was and is always nice anyway...







their ever reliable fish & chips..honestly good..really good..i've never ventured anywhere else since my first bite years ago whenever i have my fish & chips cravings..












not so well known for their pasta but this one is surprisingly lip-smackingly tasty in a way..must be the combination of olive oil & the bits of herbs in there..and oh..the shrimps were succulently fresh & crunchy too..











the quad appetizer..i suppose a good start to any meal..fresh seafood done right, i must say..and when dipped in their garlic sauce, it's just pure heaven..











oh..this one..this one's actually not on the menu one. but he's so cute, i just had to put his pic up..aiyooo..why do they make babies so cute one??

if only i could order one just like him on a menu.. but he would be priceless though...hehehehe






(he's my friend's baby actually...grrrr so jealous..haha)

..a time to..

..reflect..

a time to ponder..
a time to wonder..

this is gonna be a rather pensive post..i guess it does affect a wacko like ahpooki too once in a while..

it's been a wonderful journey the past 10 months or so..it had really brightened my life in many ways and much more than i could have imagined or hoped for.. ahpooki had been happy on most days during this time..

but i think the time has come for ahpooki to move on....
let's see..what are the changes that may bring forth even greater adventures and amusements..

1) a change of environment..?
2) a change of profession...?
3) a change of friends..?
4) a change of habits..?
5) a change of lifestyle..?

other on-going programs that may help alleviate this transition..

1) a change of smartfones..?
2) a change of cars..?
3) a change of diet..?

such is life, isn't it? we go through the highs and the lows, the joys and the pains, the excesses and the deficiencies and then we die...haha

..okay, guess i should go consult the oracle...wheeeeeee

..so sor hai..



















...somebody actually recommended this place to me lah..told me very nice nice one ah the food..but aduiii....i went round and round and round the whole of bangsar for one hour ++ and still could not find this little place..then i remembered...aiyah, i have my garmin gps in my bag in the trunk wat..ah...so....silly me.

took me less than 5 minutes to find the place after that..hahahaha so sor hai me..kakakaka

from the outside, the place kinda looked a bit alien to that neighborhood, so i spoke to my gps..."eh hullo, u sent me to correct place ah?" and then when i went inside, lagi more alien..it's like suddenly finding yourself like alice in wonderland..everything inside had that fairy tale-built to it, so wood wood, like a little cottage like that..and apparently everything in there is home-made one wor..from the food to the furniture, to the little bits of nick-knacks on the shelves and even the t-shirts hanging on the wall..all also for sale one..wah, very business minded eh..

anyhoo the place was quirky i must say..but in a cute way lo..this place is apparently run by a couple, i hear...one cook, one waiter and they do everything....talk about efficient manpower !! why our gomen cannot run its business with two people? why? why? tell me why..

we saw one empty table, quickly chom the place, then ordered the food lo...


..people say a great way to start (or is it to end..nvm) a meal would be to have a nice cuppa coffee..this is so true..so i asked for a ucc brand original blend (like i know what it is..haha)..smooth, simple silky taste with that great coffee aroma..would have been cute if it was served in a wooden cup by a wooden lady (oops..nvm forget the last bit)..hehe







then came my entree...japanese potato-curry rice with omelette.. very strange curry it was..wonder why japanese people eat curry that is not spicy one? but they put wasabi in everything else.. hmmm...weird curry but tasty lo..









and then came this..my perennially favorite dish anywhere i go..got prawn no prawn also i must order this one one..kekekeke but this particular joint delivered very nicely on this lo... fresh succulent shrimps (aiyah...shrimp/prawn same same lah) in a crispy lightly breaded coat..i actually dipped those prawns in my curry sauce instead of the accompanied mayonnaise sauce..i no like no mayonnaise one you see...







and my friend ordered this silly looking chicken katsu don..which didnt make my friend too katsu-happy..hehehe..i had suggested to order something else but refused..tai-sei lo..sor hai !!









so anyhoo...it was a very quirky eat-out on a slow and lazy sunday afternoon..after which we went to watch the movie "Thor"..wah..good leh that movie, natalie portman can thor me anytime...hehehehehe..and after that was the end to another sunday lo..
