Good Friday! (21 March 2008)

Hello!

Happy Good Friday u ol! & selamat bercuti lagi!

Today is Sue's "majlis kenduri gunting rambut" for her cute little baby girl. I'm a bit tired now because Supermom had to bake 2 biji of Carrot Cake for the majlis. I started baking yesterday afternoon, after my jalan-jalan with the kids (We went to Coffee Bean Karamunsing to have breakfast).
My breakfast (Eggs Ben)
Cha's breakfast (Brek 'o' Day)
Baba's breakfast (Food 4 Thought)

Soooo how's my carrot cake or I used to called it "Kek Lubak"???? well all the kids face turns to blue when they taste my cake (maybe because of the spices) but the older generations really liked it, but without the cream cheese frosting!!!!!!. For my siblings & I, we really liked it with the frosting....mmmmmmm!

I liked my cake while it's still warm!

Ok lah for now, will post pictures of the majlis latter.

ciao!

Baba & Nyonya Restaurant!

Nyonya Cendol (5 star) RM3.00
Curry Mee (1 star) RM6.00...tasteless

Not really a new restaurant, owned by a chinese couple and they serve halal nyonya food. Located at the Plaza Grand Millennium, Penampang bypass. The place is clean esp. the toilet!. A bit "PANAS" if u go there during lunch time. The food were not really fantastic but u guys should try the "Nyonya Cendol", it is to die 4!!!! I also liked their "Penang Fried Kue Teow". I've tried the "Nasi Lemak with rendang ayam" but I don't quite like it, the "sambal ikan bilis" is too sweet to my taste! I still prefer "Nasi Lemak" at the Old Town White Coffee at City Mall.
My advice is not to go there alone, they are generous with the food portion.
