Dinner

Mum went on a roll with her cooking for dinner tonight.

So many fried stuff - fries, wantons, capsicums, eggplants, chicken breasts & chicken meat. All so yummy.

Dinner

Since today is a public holiday, I told mum not to cook and since Aunty Alice had just arrived back from JB last night, I decided we should go out for dinner.

At first I wanted to try Marasap, Philippine cuisine at Lintas Square but as I drove passed it at Lintas Highway, I saw that it was closed for the public holiday. I have to postpone another time then.

I decided to go to Bintulu Korean Restaurant instead.

I did not feel like having the bbq and therefore ordered the stewed pork, steamboat as well as pancake.

I forgot that the serving of the pancake is so large. We could not finish them. 

In fact we did not finish any of the dishes and had to takeaway all of them for dinner tomorrow night.

Mum said she does not mind coming back here eventhough she did not really like the service.

Chaotic Labour Day 2012

Last night I went to dreamland quite early so that I could recover from the sleepless hours due to the black out early this morning.

I also wanted to sleep in a bit since today is a public holiday. But unfortunately I woke up after 6a.m. I wanted to go back to dreamland again but to no avail.

I decided to wake up to have brekky. I should have told mum last night we would be going out for brekky/brunch cos by the time I went downstairs, mum was having her brekky already.

I cooked some noodles for brekky.

At about 10a.m., mum and I went to Servay Hypermarket, Plaza Juta for our monthly grocery shopping. We saw quite a number of policemen leading to the hypermarket. I was thinking there must be a fugitive who had escaped from the prison and the police are tracking him down.

I also saw some policemen using ropes to bar drivers from entering Jalan Saga.

There were a lot of people doing their shopping already.

After our shopping, as I left Plaza Juta to go to Tuaran Road and after to the roundabout outside Likas Plaza, I was redirected to go straight along Tuaran Road. I went a big round to SMC and used the road outside SMC to go to Lintas Highway. As I was about to do a U-turn at LIntas Highway to go to the BDC/Khidmat Road, cars were queuing up at the junction but none was moving to the other side. That was when I realised we had to wait for some vehicles to pass by before we could move.

And the cars at the BDC/Khidmat Road were at a stand still as well with policemen making sure none of the cars were moving.

 

 After waiting for about half an hour, policemen inside cars and motorbikes led the first batch of cyclists for the Tour de Borneo event passed by. 

Then some more police cars passed by followed by the second batch of cyclists. After that traffic was back to normal.

In my opinion, I think the Tour de Borneo had been poorly organised. There should be plenty of announcements/advertisements to alert the public of this event so that none would be inconvenient by it. I am pretty sure some people would have missed their or important appointments due to the standstill.

After being stuck in the standstill for more than half an hour, mum and I had lunch at Mee Sup Pipin behind Khidmat Supermarket. The first outlet started at a house in Penampang and that one is still operating. This new one started at the beginning of the month and their off day is on Monday.

There were so many people having their lunch when Mum and I arrived. We found a table inside the shop.

Mum had the following – the lot.

I was not gamed enough. I preferred to be on the conventional side. I had the pork balls mixed with squid and pork roll. The soup tasted very clear/light and it was quite refreshing to have a tasty lunch minus the heavy stuff.

I do not mind to go back to this shop to eat again.

Dinner

My brother was in SDK the last few days and did not come back until yesterday.

That’s why we postponed celebrating my birthday until tonight.

I treated them to dinner at A’Roma Ristorante at Damai Plaza.

 

 

We enjoyed the soup, pasta and pizzas but the lasagna was way below par. I have to remember not to order that again.

After dinner, we came home and I cut the cake. 

In our family cake cutting is not a tradition and this year I decided to go against tradition.

Dinner

Had dinner with mum and Chloe at Mayflower Restaurant.

There were not many customers when we arrived but a lot came arrived I ordered the food.

I ordered the prawns cos they came with the wasabi sauce but alas it was not too spicy for us.

Dinner

My cousin Yvonne arrived two days ago from Los Angeles and she is staying with another cousin of mine in Likas.

Tonight the whole family had dinner with her and it was good to catch up with her.

She will be getting married this summer in LA.

New King's Installation Day

We earned an extra national holiday today cos the new king is being installed.

Two nights ago mum already informed me she wanted to go out for brekky.

 

I had the following.

 

Chloe had the following.

Mum had the following.

After brekky, I took them home and went to work for a few hours.

I rewarded myself the following for lunch.

YB Edward Ong and his family sat at the next table and his wife kept on observing on how I ate my bowl of Asam Laksa. She ordered the same thing.

Dinner

Aunty Alice would be going to JB tomorrow for a month and therefore tonight I suggested we went to Food City for dinner.

Aunty Alice had the following.

Mum, Chloe and I had the following.

We were unable to finish everything and therefore had to ask for a plastic bag to take away the leftover.

Dinner

Aunty Alice would be going to JB at the end of this month until end of next month.

Therefore mum suggested we went out for dinner before she goes off.

I brought them to the following restaurant at Lintas Square. I had been here twice before.

Aunty Alice and my order came with the following drink.

The food took a while to come out though mum commented there were not many customers at that time.

Mum’s order came out first.

Chloe’s came next.

Mine was next.

And Aunty Alice’s came out last.

There were quite a few times when we went out to eat and her order came out last.
