Vivo American Pizza & Panini

Last Sunday, I woke up and found this:

DumpedBymom
Oh great. I’ve been dumped by my parents. That means lunch alone…

I’ve always loved the area I lived in. With McD (drivethru summore, fuiyo) and all others great restaurants around, it is unlikely for me to starve to death even if I were to eat alone. However, living at the area for 5 years would also mean that i had already tried every possible restaurant there…

Conclusion. I’m sick of Kemuning food! I need to eat somewhere else…

So I went to Jusco Bukit Tinggi, the nearest residential area…

P1240045

The reason why I went there is because the class gathering next Tuesday @ The Curve is also at Vivo… hence I took on the role of the white mice and try on their food first, since none of us went there before.

P1240047
…and the receipt came before the food. Good also la, in case you don’t have enough money, you can always cabut (run away) or call for help…

P1240051
Mushroom as starters… RM 3.90.

Although the mushroom chunk inside is for real, the soup itself SUX BIG TIME. Go to any Pizza Hut Restaurant and you’ll get the same quality of mushroom soup. Well, don’t expect much for RM3.90…

P1240052
The Green Tea Latte, RM 5.80

I would say that it is not bad… But the green tea is a little bit tasteless… The milk kinda covers the taste of the green tea…

P1240055 P1240054
Here comes the main course! Carbonara Linguine, RM16.80… minus the fancy name, it means ham and mushroom pasta! LOL. 

It is ok. The cream is really cheesy and sweet. A good combination with ham and mushrooms. However, also very greasy when consumed in large amount.

As a conclusion, not a very good experience there… as a result…

the feedback card were used to comment on them. Hope they’ll become better when I visit them again next Tuesday =)

My Dream in the Year of the Tiger

Once upon a time, there’s a sad young little boy with terrible short span of memory.

DSC05514
here’s the sad young little boy

This boy has a dream, and that dream is to get the opportunity to visit many places, experience what he had never experienced before, and to keep these experiences as sweet memories that for sure will make him giggle like crazy when he looks back to them 10 years later.

Since he was a kid, he worked very hard to achieve his dream, by studying hard and being a good boy. He do not smoke, he do not club that often, he do not do drugs (it’s illegal, duh!)… He did everything he could in order to be the good boy in the family which will make his mom happy. Because he knew very well that only by being a good boy, his mom will bring him to places on weekends or holidays…

After years of effort in securing his mother’s trust as the best son of hers (she had only one son btw), she started to bring him to places. The first place he  remembered going would be a KFC restaurant. He was then 7 years old.

It was his first time eating stuff other than the ordinary meal served by his mom. Chicken never felt so good, he literally had orgasm(s) towards chicken that night.

When he reached 8, his parents bought him to Australia.

That was the first time he crossed the border of the country and went to another piece of land. The funny part is, despite having exposure on English for merely 1 year (he was standard 2 then), he was one of the main translator in this trip in the family as his parents can’t speak English. He remembered where the family got lost in the airport, rushing for a plane back to Malaysia. So, he asked for direction from a pilot (i have no idea how and why a pilot)… After 37 minutes of conversing, the pilot pointed a way, the family follow the way, board the plane and reaches Vietnam instead.

Despite the bad experience and the troubles he got himself into, he enjoyed the trip as to how he get to see different things that he don’t see normally. The hair of little girls over there is blond instead of black, their face features are sharper and they speaks in a language that resemble a chicken’s.

However, the mother wasn’t really happy over the accident mentioned above, hence she suspended him from further overseas trips which she made it exclusive just for herself and her husband. Since then, the married couple happily went to Egypt, England, Italy, France, South Africa etc… and his son just stayed at home watching Power Rangers fighting monsters.

Due to the inactivity of his brain on interaction with the outer world, he developed the short term memory mentioned at the beginning, and had eventually lost his interest in going places (but he still had the chicken orgasm whenever he saw KFC).

Around 2004 when he was 16 years old, the suspension were withdrew and the mother brought him to Japan.

The family went to Korea in 2005, when he was 17.

korea
sorry, i couldn’t found a picture that represent Korea better than this >.<

The boy eventually fall in love with travelling again. Things goes better when he eventually got his camera (his mom’s second hand camera) and started to camwhore whenever he got the chance / whenever he went to places.

these was just few of them…

…and these photo proved to be useful whenever the boy feels like looking back at what he had done, and these photos never fails to amuse him. There goes a saying: a picture speaks a thousands words. One look of those picture will bring back endless memories he and his beloved camera had together…

the boy and the camera sharing a lollipop moment together

The problem is… due to his short term memory, he cannot remember anything that happened before he got his camera! Ask him about his trip to Japan or Korea, he remembered nothing except for the jet lag! And now he’s confused… It’s as if he had lost his memory prior to 2008. His memory seems to start only from the day he get his camera.

Therefore, he had always wished to go back to Japan once more in order to snap all the pictures he wanted with his beloved and trusted camera, capturing the moment of his life and store it under D Drive of his laptop. Even just for 1 day! 1 single day will suffice. So he went searching in the newspaper for trips to Japan, specifically for Disneyland. The fees makes him dropped his jaw. He looked at his pocket and counted all the money he has got.

DSC04244 
He has got approximately RM2.70… and he still need to save money for his 3rd year’s studies of degree in the UK

This is when the sound effect of a glass crashing comes in. *crash sound*

Having said so, he still holds on to his dream strongly. He really wish that someone with a heart of an angel will turn up and provides him with all the money he need in order to visit Japan once more.

In 2010, the year of tiger, the angel appears.

DSC06342 
The TIGERS!

Now that the angels is here… the boy are for sure grabbing opportunity to get the angels before they fly away… RUN JASON RUN! RUN TOWARDS A TRIP TO JAPAN!!! =D

[Update: 29/1/2010] I’m selected to participate for the run! whee~

FOOD…

bleh… with all my time turned upside down… who have time to think about food?

luckily, the balance of nature had since been restored recently… so here’s the comeback of the lousy food critic!~

Today' is my beloved sister’s birthday… so we (me and my parents) went out for dinner!

n685576534_879414_9729 
her 23rd birthday… WAH! Damn old!

P1230018 P1230020
Dinner spot tonight: Dragon-i @ Jusco Bukit Tinggi

No. They don’t serve dragon there. They serve Chinese cuisine.

P1230002
Stewed Peanuts as their titbits… kinda dry here… RM2 for a small plate wtf

P1230007
Winter Melon Longan and Herbal Tea… RM5 and RM2 respectively… The winter melon is ok provided they have give big chunk of the winter melon instead of slices… however, still a rip off for RM5… =x

P1230003 P1230004
Lohan Beancurd… one of their promotional item there in their RM1 daily menu… hence the price of RM1! XD

i like how they cook the mushroom and vegetables just nice… however the beancurd is downright disappointing (overfried)… and the juice is simply tasteless… >.<

not bad for an RM1 item, though…

P1230006
Beef brisket ramen… RM15

The ramen is good!!! it’d be better if it is more chewy (haha!) however, the beef is too dry and overcooked… and the soup is so oily!! Though i must emphasis on the ramen which is really good! XD

P1230008 
Shanghai Dumpling… RM9

Their main dish in the restaurant… It'd been said that it’s the second best shanghai dumpling (siew long pao) in Malaysia after Ding Tai Foong… which they had certainly live up to the reputation! It is seriously good, with the dumpling nicely wrap (but easy to bocor… boo) and the soup and meat blended together nicely… it’d be better if it is served when hot… XD olala~

P1230014 
XO Sauce Fried Carrot Cake, RM12

Not bad for a fried carrot cake… but i prefer the more heavy flavoured one in hawker stall… some food are just not meant to be served by commercialized chain restaurant >.<

P1230017
Chicken Steamed Rice, RM15

Another of their recommended food… which is alright… served with pork lard oil and chicken… the chicken is okay… but i don’t like the dish… not my kind of dish when it’s all oily >.<

All in all, a stomach filling but not the most satisfying meal… save for the shanghai dumpling XD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the dinner, we went shopping… separately… mom went cloths digging, dad went performance watching and i went to the bookstore~

P1230026
Pit stop after all the shopping

P1230032

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let’s see what i bought just now…

P1230036 
bought a new CD in the bookstore ^^

This is a chinese album by JK Chen 陈家凯, a new upcoming and promising local artist which rose to fame 5 years ago but had only released his debut album recently… I love his single 呐喊!

如果今天我不再想你
明天我不去回忆
那是因为我没了力气
如果昨天是一场游戏
离别是一首歌曲
那是叹息谱成的旋律

走跟你一直走到莫名的感伤
等等你一直等到凄美的绝望

寂寞在深夜排山倒海
你会不会再回来
眼泪让它流一个痛快
低吼的感慨一声狂飙的悲哀
沉默是心底最痛楚的呐喊

如果爱情是一种道理
我愿意循规蹈矩
贯彻我对你始终如一
如果我们之间生了病
就算是无药可医
也要挨到最后一口气

你给我的回忆太美满
最怕变成了信仰
离开是我唯一的方向
你早已不在你在也不会明白
再见是今生最痛楚的对白

Support local artist… buy original-lah! XD

p.s: Don’t see my sister throughout the entire post? It’s because she’s still in UK! So we celebrate here in Malaysia and she celebrate there alone in UK lah >.<

Last but not least, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 YA ALL!~ <3

Sweet Dreams

Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you when I close my eyes
I'm going outta my head
Lost in a fairytale
Can you hold my hands and be my guide?

Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true

My guilty pleasure I ain't goin nowhere
Baby, long as you're here
I'll be floating on air cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you

I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy, you're my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real and tell me you'll stay by side

Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?

Happy 2010!~

oops… i’m late…

uniqlo-sorry-im-late-tshirt

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 FOLKS!~ <3

Now, i need to start thinking of my new year resolutions =(
