The 23rd Birthday: #1

I remember the first thing I wanted to do on my birthday is to get an all-new shisha set, and that I did! Together with my housemates (which I’m proud to say is made of 1 chinese, 1 indian and 1 malay, see how muhibah we can get!!) we’ve bought 60 pounds worth of flavours, charcoals and a very atas shisha set.

We dub it The Bridgeway Shisha, made of leather pipe, wide-brimmed top and clustered ice center!

Ben the Indian decided to give it a go, so here he is taking a load of flitered, apple-scented smoke into his mouth…

and the next thing you know, Ben’s so high he’s so damn high!! Look at him go! :mrgreen:

Here’s me doing a ring, that’s an “O”! Watch more in the youtube below, I spent freaking 3 hours making it, and it doesn’t look the way I want it to be! Should have gotten a better song la, but oh what the heck πŸ™‚

Watch away, and stay tuned for my birthday dinner at Asakusa, a really authentic Japanese restaurant lying in the heart of Euston Town!

Thank you everyone =)

I am very blessed to have friends and family like you. At the bottom of my heart I sincerely thank everyone of you who have helped me over every kind of situations for the last 23 years of my life. For the first time also I will make a daring statement that I have never made before in my entire blog, and here it is:
Baby, I love you

The Wine Shop @ Cambridge

During the family’s roadtrip, we managed to stop by Cambridge and my dear Sui Seng, a college mate, decided to be our wonderful tour guide for the day!

See? He’s like these mini-angels okay, so nice!! (Picture taken in Christ College, Cambridge)

So he decided to bring us to this restaurant where he brought his family too, during his convocation. It must be good, then. We were in for a shock at first, because right outside the restaurant was this really freaky thingie!!

“Have you come to eat me? I’m Headless Nick- Boo!

It’s called The Wine Shop, such an unusual name for a restaurant, but very memorable! The exterior gave a villagy feel to the place, made cuter by the balls of greenery hanging suspended in front of the signboard, take a look!

An exterior which betrays its interior design

Now why did I say that? It’s because the interior is made in pure class! The front area is formed out of plush cushion and low tables, wherelse the place where we sat which was right behind was made of high seats and a really tall table. Everything else looked so classy with the glossy table finishing, bar-ish atmosphere (it used to be a famous bar before it got renovated) and the staff were really professional. I’d say it’s definitely a high-class but decently priced restaurant to go to! Well then, let’s get on with the main course: pictures ahoy!

Entry #1: Fish & Chips with Mashed Beans.What do I have to say? Crispy but not too thick batter coating a large, silky piece of cod that could melt in your mouth. The chips were as authentic as it could get, though I found it a tad too thick for my palate. The interesting bit was the mashed peas: it has a real rough texture to it, something I haven’t encountered before! I kind of liked it, weird as it may since it was laced with coriander (top of my least favourite taste) and something else… but it was amazing how I could still like it! A MUST try πŸ˜€

Entry #2: 16oz Rib-eye Steak with Onion Rings.Cooked medium rare, I thought it was exceptionally tender. Apparently famed for its steak, I wasn’t at all disappointed by its taste (definitely beats Max, a grill bar located at Covent Garden which served us terrible steaks!) and I liked the little bit or char-grilled moments in between bites. I thought, though, that the Onion Rings were simply SUPERB, an unforgettable experience, I swear! It clearly outshined the main attraction in this dish, so don’t take my word for it, go ahead and try for yourself!

Entry #3: Avocado Prawn Salad: O.M.G. This was a dish that I can, until now, recall every single ingredient used to create such a spendid blend of tastes. All it needed was avocado cubes, fresh prawns, smoked salmon, rocket leaves, some pesto and garlic mayo, and suddenly it transformed into what you see in the picture above. There’s probably more to it, something special that I can’t quite define, but it definitely caused an atomic orgasm within the tender flesh of my mouth. I’ll most probably recreate this dish sometime in the future and dedicate a post specially to it, so do tune in until then!

Entry #4: Duck Salad I’m pretty sure it had a more exotic name to it, but after having the previous 3 dishes this seemed like the most mediocre dish ever made on this planet. Alright, I could be exaggerating, but then that was how I felt! We had to order it anyway under the recommendation of Sui Seng (that, and because he does’t eat beef so this was HIS main meal =P). The duck meat were a little hard, the hoi-sin sauce a usual accompanyment to this British-style duck dish, throw in a little sesame seed and rocket leaves and there you have it.

I’ve got to thank Sui Seng for this experience. It really redefined my tastebuds a little, improving my ability to be able to locate distinctive flavours within a dish. I feel like a step ahead towards my goal of being able to appreciate the best of foods as found in these restaurants, which is a dream i hope may come true one fine day. πŸ˜€

Somewhere Out There – BERSIH Update

Just a little duet for the readers πŸ™‚

On another note, I had the best apple pie ever, and it looks like this:

Apple Pie with Cream @ Cafe Rouge

Needless to say, orgasmic implosion once again occured right inside my mouth. Why, why, why does it always happen to me! πŸ˜€

A Little Update on Bersih

Racial Unity

It’s freaking heartening to see people of all races, stature and religion to come together for ANY reason at all, so to see actual photos taken by famous bloggers Pinkpau and Daniel (both with their interesting write-ups- click on their names), I can’t help but to feel a surge of pride for our people, our Malaysians. I’m so proud of everyone, I can almost feel my heart soaring with joy! Seriously, I cannot stress the importance of racial unity in our time… Heck, I’m currently living with a Chinese, an Indian and a Malay, all under the same roof… and I have to say, I’m enjoying every second of it =)

Kudos to all, you have every reason to be proud of yourselves!

Actually, while I’m at it, might as well add a few interesting links here:
