Post - Valentines Dinner

Due to CNY, Hubby and I weren't able to celebrate Valentines Day thus we had a post valentines day dinner.
We actually didn't plan for this. It was just a normal date which we ended up in Charcoal BBQ & Grill for dinner and Hubby said it was for Valentines Day celebration. Okayyyyy hahaha
I must say, the food was goooooooooooooood especially their Pasta with Lamb toppings.
It's a must try! If not mistaken it costs $12.20, a little pricey to some people but it's really delicious! Other than that, we ordered Charocal Lamb Chop too with both Black pepper and Mushroom toppings and we had butter rice and coleslaw as side dishes. This cost $18.80.
The lamb chop was yummy but we didn't taste any 'black pepper' on the black pepper sauce, not at all, which was not was we expected. It tasted more like BBQ sauce though, quite sweet lar. I didn't finish the butter rice cause I was quite full already after finishing up the lamb chops and coleslaw.
We also ordered Calamari Rings which cost $7 but we couldn't finish it due to the main courses which took away our attentions and we were busy gobbling it down hahaha
Definitely would return to Charcoal for the sake of the Pasta with lamb toppings!

Calamari Rings $7


Garlic bread, complimentary with the pasta


Carbonara Pasta with Lamb Toppings $12.20

CNY 2010 - Part 3 - Convoy CNY House Visits

On the 14th of CNY we had a convoy CNY house visits and yes, I know it's a little late to hold this convoy CNY visit but we were all busy with our course assignments that we almost couldn't make it. Thank god we managed to finish most of our works and had time for this.

The last time I had convoy CNY house visits with school mates was when I was still in Secondary 3 and now I'm 22nd already. WOOT!
This time we visited 4 houses which are Carmen, Andrew, Ein and Yen's place.
Spent whole afternoon *since 11.30am until 5pm* on house visiting. It was quite fun!

1) Carmen's place - Carmen's mom prepared fried chicken wings to serve us and it was so yummy! Really heart it and we had good time playing with Baby Kaitlin, Carmen's niece. She is such a sweetheart! Too adorable!

2) Andrew's place

Andrew was really HAPPY!


Girls concentrating on watching Astro


Lun and Adri too

3) At Ein's place - Managed to try her grandma's culinary skills and it really made me miss my grandma so so much T^T Her grandma's Braised Pork Trotters with Vinegar was SUPERB!!! Too bad Hubby and Wee weren't there if not I guess they would finish up the whole pot, no kidding!

Assorted cakes


Ai Woon and Lun still put full concentration on tv *tsk tsk* tv babies


Cucur Udang, crispy to the max!

4) At S.Yen's place - Yen served us some curry puffs and fried spring rolls from her bakery, Apricot Bakery located same row as Sempurna Enak Restaurant. Ein and Ai Woon gave thumbs up on the curry puffs and Ein even commented that it taste really different as it has the traditional taste and fragrance which other bakeries' curry puffs don't have.

Curry puffs and Fried Spring Rolls


Everyone busy mom-mom food


I don't know what is this called but it is like a type of biscuit which is sweet yet tasty. Yen said this is made by her grandma who lives in Miri and is not available for sale and I was fortunate enough to be able to try it!

McD Prosperity Burger set

Other than Spicy Chicken McDeluxe, Prosperity burger is another favourite of mine in McD.
Almost every year when Chinese New Year is around the corner, I'd always watch out on McD's CNY promotion and anticipating for the Prosperity burger promotion.
This year, McD Brunei has introduced Prosperity Chicken burger (in the past, there was only beef burger served) and like before, it still tasted faboulous!
Not only the burger is attractive, the curly fries too, is very delicious and crispy.
If you haven't try it out, do so before the promotion ends!

Although the wrapping stated "Beef" but it's Chicken patty.

Ocean Quarry, Spg 1029

So I guess most of you guys are aware that the old Ocean Quarry Kolo Mee Stall which was located in Batu Lima had moved to Tanah Jambu (further bit of Jalan Muara).
I've heard that the business was really good even though it's new location is really far, well compared to the old one. However, I guess people just don't want to miss out good food, thus, they would go all the way to Tanah Jambu just to have a bowl of Kolo Mee.
Well, I've experienced it.
Upon arrival to the new stall at around 11 something in the morning, I had to wait for awhile in order to grab a seat.
I just miss the old times how we used to visit it like almost every Sunday during family outings when it was still located in Batu Lima.
And I'm really happy when I heard bout the re-opened of this popular noodle stall.
But, recently rumour has been spreading that this noodle stall was reported and forced to do take away business only. In other words, diners are not allowed to dine in the stall anymore. This has of course turned many customers away from them.
I don't know why that person did this, perhaps jealous of the stall's brisk business?
But I'm pretty sure this isn't a good way for this stall in long run.
It's pretty sad if it is to be closed again as I believe its fans (which include majority of the Chinese population in town) wouldn't wanna see this.
Awwwwwwwwwwww :'(
