Free Dress from Malaysia Boutique.com

As I was blog hopping the other day, I saw a terrific post about a giveaways in Malaysia Boutique.com.  What else, I quickly click on the link provided and started to browse the website. From there, I came to know that Malaysia Boutique.com is a unique site. It is unique because I found a lot of useful information. One of them are articles on fashion tips. They share with their customers on the latest fashion trends and gave great advises to customers too ! The articles are so interesting that I'd spent some time to read them one after another. 

They also do reviews on other online boutiques where they call them as online blogshops, to share information with their customers. They just worked like a one-stop hub on fashion stuffs. From the reviews, I came to know more on the other online blogshops and have more places to shop for dresses in the future ! Besides, they also encourage other online boutiques to work hand in hand with them. Either existing or new owner are welcome to open their store at the Malaysia Boutique Marketplace by following the easy step to step instructions. This is a great opportunity and a stepping stone especially for new comers to venture into the online fashion business.

Looking For Roommate ?

I still remembered when I first came to KL to further my studies in a local college, dad and mum accompanied me to look for a room to rent. Both my parents will prefer me to stay in a place within walking distance to the college. We actually drove around the housing area near the college to see if there is any room to let. Lucky stars were shinning upon us as we found a house just right opposite the college hanging an advertisement on the front gate. Due to the distance, dad said no matter how much the room cost, he will still grab it for me. 

Those were the days. If without my parent's help, I think I will be lost if I were to come to KL alone. Unlike nowadays, with the advance of the Internet we don't have to drive around the housing area just to look out for the 'room to let' notice hanging on the front gate. With just a click on the mouse and from the comfort of our home or office, we can get all the information pertaining to the house or room we were looking for. We can also search according to the location and preferences. It is very convenient and most importantly, easy to use.

As for people who are going for a short holidays or to attend a function (eg, wedding) in another town, they can book a house under short term rental. Booking a house is better than a hotel room if you have a bigger group. It will be more economical with a bigger space. You can plan your accommodation ahead and have no worries during traveling. With such conveniences, maybe I should start to plan a short gateway with my family soon since school holidays are approaching !        

Wedding lunch

On the 7th November we attended hubby's ex-colleague wedding lunch in KL. It was held in a school hall and the caterer (Hao Xiang Chi Restaurant) from Sekinchan came all the way to cook for the lunch. I heard it is quite a famous restaurant in Sekinchan. The lunch started at around 1.30 pm and ended at 4 pm. It was a sumptuous lunch indeed and we actually skipped our dinner that night. We only had a cup of hot milo before bedtime.

I wanted to take photos of the food but was too embarrassed to do so because we were sitting with hubby's ex-colleagues. It won't be nice to stop them from taking the food for me to take the picture. haha  But I found some of the food images from the restaurant's website.

1st dish - pun choy

The first dish being served was the 'Pun Choy'. It was delicious. The gravy was thick and flavourful. At the bottom consists of yam, fried beancurd (fu chok), meatballs and roast pork. Due to only 6 adults at our table, we couldn't finish all the dishes.

2nd dish - chicken herbal soup with abalone & dry scallops

Then came the chicken herbal soup. Each of us have a bowl. The aroma of the herbs were so fragrance. We drank till the last drop. There were still some leftovers but we did not drink more as afraid of heatiness. The soup have a piece of chicken meat, dried scallops, abolone slices and clams.
 

3rd dish - steam Promfet

After the soup, we had the steamed fish. It was very fresh with no fishy smell. The fried garlic on top enhance the taste more and the soy sauce was delicious. I had both fins as everyone seems not interested.

The 4th dish was deep fried squid in Thai style. I couldn't find the photo for this dish. Normally, we had this Thai style for either chicken or tofu but, during the wedding luncheon they served with squid. It was absolutely delicious. The skin was crispy and the sweet and sour Thai sauce goes very well with the squid. We nearly finished the whole plate but did not managed at the end. 

5th dish - Stir fried lotus root with nuts & celery

Instead of the normal 'chap choy' (mixed vege), we were being served with this dish. I don't really fancy lotus root and only had some celery and macadamia nuts. None of us on the table enjoyed this though. Partly, we were already full after talking the earlier 4 dishes.

6th dish - Pumpkin fried rice

Next, came the Pumpkin Fried Rice. It was being served with this pumkin look - a - like porcelain bowl. The fried rice was delicious as they added some dried shrimps and yam. Even YX had 1 big bowl of this rice. It also have some meat and prawns. I'm not a pumpkin lover but am craving for this rice now.

Finally, the desserts were served. We had the white fungus with dried longan soup (served cold) and deep fried 'mua chee'. I couldn't find this picture in their website too. The deep fried 'mua chee' was so delicious that I had 3 of them despite being very very full. The outer part was crispy and the inner was soft like cotton. It just melt in your mouth !

I told hubby this is the BEST wedding luncheon I had so far because the dishes served were so different from the normal wedding reception. I really feel like 'flying' all the way to Sekinchan now just to eat some of those delicious delicacy, especially the Pumpkin fried rice and deep fried 'mua chee'. I really missed them !

1) My dreams have colour. Sometimes, I could still remember the colour of certain 'thing' appeared in my dreams. And they are nice colours with beautiful scenes.

2) I love Malay food. Some of my favourites are Asam Pedas, Rendang Ayam and Soto Ayam. But one of the best is Laksa Johor cooked by my mum. The taste was so irresistible. Am going to ask mum to cook this dish for me again.  I've posted the recipe over here.

3) I'm afraid of cold but I cannot stand hot weather too. Very troublesome ya : P

4) Before marriage, I always dream to have 4 children. I wish to have 2 boys + 2 girls. But after marriage and having 2 children, I dare not dream anymore but let everything happen naturally.

8) When comes to eating Nasi Beryani, I enjoyed eating them with my hand. Finger licking good !

9) I'm a very absent minded person. Recently, I've started to write small notes and set reminder in my mobile phone, so I won't miss those important stuffs. So pathetic ya.
