A year older a year wiser ^^

Last Saturday night (29th Dec) we celebrated my eldest brother in law's birthday at my in law's place. It was a last minute thing so HB came up with the idea to have a bbq + steamboat night. Ingredients were easily purchased plus it requires one to cook on their own so it was easy ^^. HB was so clever to use plastic bowls and wooden chopsticks so no one needs to do any washing after the meal.


I cooked an extra dish for everyone which was deokbokki. It is a Korean dish that is usually sold on street side. I would say the dish I cooked turned out well and the taste is just as how I tasted when I had it at Padimas Restaurant at Mata-Mata, Gadong.



Below are some pictures taken by me, HB and my sister in law, Nikki. Enjoy~

Hubs can be funny at times. He put up this note to remind his mum =.="

A must for every birthday celebrant

Hi everyone. Finally I can make blog posts as I have just came back from my vacation to Taiwan with my best friend. This post will be on my simple wedding anniversary dinner at Villa Mauri. Hubs wanted to try at that place for quite awhile and all previous time I rejected his idea cos I knew it was expensive.  To make him happy I agreed with his idea to go to this place for our anniversary dinner. Boy was the food such a disappointment to me. Paying the price was not worth the quality :s 

Besides dinner, I got my anniversary gift from hubs too!!! Hehehehe~ Been hinting him quite awhile whereby I left a one week reminder alarm in his handphone about getting a Samsung Note 2 for me :p On the eve of our anniversary he still pretends on not getting me a gift :( But then the surprise came the next day which is the actual date of our anniversary :p He mentioned that we are to head down to my place earlier than what we had initially planned so he can get my gift for me!!! Boy was I happy!!! Kekekekeke~ 

Not wanting to type so much, I shall post up pictures of the food we had. I shall not post up any picture of my gift as I bet everyone knows how a Samsung Note 2 looks like!!! Woootzzzz~ 

P/S: Please google for Samsung Note 2 if one do not know how it looks like :p

Hubs said that he specifically booked the whole restaurant for two of us only :p As when in fact there were no customers at all at that time *LOL*

The menu

They have got my favourite sauce to eat with pizza :D

Green apple juice for me

My portion

Happily eating it

This Crispy Crab dish was the biggest disappointment!!! I was expecting fresh crab meat but what I got was those fake crab meat with their pincers that one can find in any supermarket cold storage section!!! *fuming*

This dish was ok ok for me. Hubs did not like it cos he says that there is still a distinct lamb smell to it :s

Overall for me and hubs, this will be our first and last time experiencing at this place for food :s

Night 10

Manage to fine the time to post up last night's dinner pictures as I was totally busy last night and this morning till noon. Last night's dinner was a real simple dinner as I was too tired to cook up a bomb dinner *LOL* So I do hope you enjoy the pictures below.

**P/S: Night 11, 12, 13 and 14 will have no dinner pictures as I am at my in-law's place**

Fried chicken

Stir fry bak choy + chye sim with anchovies

Canned curry lamb :p

Night 2

Our second night dinner. This time my younger sister and her boyfriend joined us so I have to cook a larger portion :) And tomorrow night we are going to have sushi!!! Enjoy tonight's dinner pictures but before the dinner pictures, there are pictures of our preserved chabe (pronouncec chubby) vege. The pictures are taken especially for Gin :D

The vege is preserved with cooked rice, salt and water. Leave it for one week and this is the result

Must close the lid tightly~

After removing a certain amount this is the end result :D

My prawns in tomato sauce :)

Pan fried sausage

My younger sis cooked this omelette

Leftover from lunch that my younger sis tapao. Tongseng kambing. Damn spicy!!!
