Good morning everyone! Hope you guys would have a great Monday; hope mine is good too =) Anyways, below are some pictures which were taken on the day that Boon Jing flew back to UK. After sending him, we went to Tamu Selera's Gerai 3 for Nasi Ayam Penyet. Good luck, Boon Jing! (Well, you're already a "lucky" man! Hope you get what I mean haha *wink wink*)
Just some pictures of a party I attended quite some time ago at I-Lotus. It was my uncle's birthday and coincidentally enough, it was also his grand daughter's lunar birthday. And my lovely cousin, who is the daughter of my uncle and also mommy of my adorable niece decided to organise a birthday party for two! Although it was also the night where entire Rimba had black out but we still enjoyed it! It was great to meet my relatives who traveled all the way from Limbang just to attend this party as well as meeting Kim's baby daughter. I had so much fun! And the cakes look really greatttttt!
Not to forget, Happy Weekend people!

Had a chance to visit the newly opened kopitiam (coffee house) in Madang named Jade Crystal Kopitiam with family weeks ago. This kopitiam is located in Madang Complex which is also along the highway to Manggis roundabout. We ordered 4 dishes but only 3 came and we had to cancel the last one cause the service was really slow. Mom was already hungry but her food didn't come. We weren't satisfied as we were explained that the chef forgot to cook it. Seriously, there is still lotsa room for improvement, be it service or taste wise. It is understandable as it was still new during our visit. Hope they would improve during my next visit =)
Recently, Hubby and I have been craving on some Jing Chew's roti kuning and to cure our crave, we visited Jing Chew on one sunny Saturday afternoon. Although there are many local kopitiams that serve roti kuning but Jing Chew stands out among them. I would even vote it for the Best Roti Kuning in Brunei. Well, if that poll does exist... or maybe I should start up one? haha
Teh Tarik
Roti Kuning!
Look at the fillings (kaya + butter)! *drooooooools*
Other than roti kuning, we also ordered a plate of Sesame Kueh Teow as it has been awhile since I last tasted it and I really wanted to have it so badly haha
Alright, as the title says, this entry is all about the places that I have been to just to celebrate my 22nd birthday. Although this year is considered a quiet birthday without the accompany of UK gang but I still enjoyed it a lot. I've received a new camera and Bvlgari perfume as birthday gift from Hubby, birthday cards from SKY (it's handmade!) and Shin (all the way from UK!), treats from the FBEPS Girls and of course spending quality time with my family. And I knew some might be busy with their works or assignments so I tried my best to arrange different outings just so I wouldn't miss out celebrating with anyone. I know it does sound bit exaggerating but I just wanna find excuses to spend more time with the people I adore! So beware, this entry is gonna be flooded with lots of pictures! XD

Later after the dinner at Excapade, we bought cake from Bakerlyn and their service was great! It was already 9pm when we walked in the bakery and we looked at the cakes being displayed, they were all booked. We inquired the staff and she said they could proceed our order asap and she promised we could choose any flavours as well as the shape of the cake, just that we would have to wait for 10-15 minutes. Of course we were willing to wait! For 10-15 mins of waiting and you could enjoy yummy cake, that's a good deal! It's definitely a good place for last minute purchase on birthday cakes!
*drum rolls*
We had heart-shaped white chocolate cake and it tasted really goooooood!

So after dim sum buffet, we thought it might be good idea to have some "exercising" by doing window shopping at The Mall. But I actually knew that "cuci mata" was the guys' main intention.

I have quite a number of long due posts and it's all because of my laziness in Summer =( Cause I was too busy attending gatherings, parties, outings and finishing off my assignments so I was unproductive in the Summer. It turned out now, I have to rush myself to finish choosing, editing, posting and blogging about the colorful Summer I had in the month of Oct. It's great to look back how I spent my wonderful Summer with my favourite people. I really miss you all! Hope you guys are doing good and meet you guys again in Dec, perhaps? =)
Alright, so after sending Nottingham Girls and Hui Hui off in Brunei Airport, the rests of us decided to have our dinner at the new branch of Sawadee House which is located in Yong Siong Hai Complex, Gadong. It is just right next to Unitek CD store. It was also considered the last dinner or gathering we had with Jances, Ming Hui, Boon Jing and Jin Yang as they were also leaving few days after the Nottingham Girls left.
Okay, back to the food review. The service was really really really really really really slow, even slower than a snail. And, Hwa ordered Grass Jelly Milk and he never thought the grass jelly and the milk was served separately. He thought it would have been mixed already. As for food wise, their green curry chicken is tasty and I didn't try out others' food but I guess they have not much complain on the taste except the ****ing slow service! I would think thrice before going there for my next visit, seriously!
Bye bye Girls!
Feeling retro?
Some kind of Thai Bubur Chacha I think
Hwa's unexpectable Grass Jelly Milk
Tom Yam Soup
Green Curry Chicken
Garlic Chicken Rice
Some kind of Fried Rice, it looks healthy, ain't it? =)
Fried Tanghoon
Another kind of Fried Rice, I don't remember its name
Visited Sugar & Spice in Kiulap to have supper after doing shopping with Hubby and SKY. It was our second visit and it had been awhile since the last visit. And it's a must to order Humus when visiting Arabian restaurant! We're loving it! We also ordered Chicken Shawarma Special and Fatayir. Well, Fatayir kinda looks like samosa but it's filled with spinach (beef fillings is available too) and wrapped with "bread" and not spring roll skin. It tastes quite nice and made me feel healthy as it was filled with lotsa spinach. Surely gonna try out other Arabian dishes on its menu during next visit ;)
*Note: due to the lighting in the restaurant, the pictures turned out to be really yellow*
C'Fu Curry House has obviously becoming another favourite Sunday outing spot of my family. Mainly due to the delicious Curry Fish head on their menu as well as other dishes. Btw, I just found out days ago that CDP Curry House is closed and another restaurant gonna take it over. That new restaurant is serving mixture of Western and Chinese cuisine I think. Anyways, enjoy the foodie pics on the beautiful Monday morning!
Claypot Beancurd
Sweet and Spicy chicken, one of our favourite dishes
About three weeks ago, I dropped by McD and had an enjoyable tea time over there with bro, SC and little Richard. When making order, we were informed that McD is currently holding the "Coke" glass promotion. Simply upgrade your large value meal set with sundae and you could get that glass at reasonable price (I don't quite remember the details but I don't think that glass is f.o.c) We had Spicy Chicken McDeluxe set and Fish-o-fillet set. Actually, I don't visit McD much and I don't eat their burgers much but I thought the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe burger tasted really good! I actually wanted to order Chicken fold-over at first but it wasn't available =( But in the end, I was still satisfied with the Spicy Chicken Burger hehe
