Zanmai Pasta


Last saturday, I met up with my friends from Sabah...Marina and Julia. They were in KL for the weekends. It was great meeting up with them again.....furthermore, all three of us worked together once in KK. So you can imagine the chaos we created in the office...hehe

Me and Alex brought them for dinner at Zanmai Pasta at 1 Utama shopping mall, Damansara. The restaurant serves a fusion of pasta and japanese food. I was kind of surprise that the restaurant was packed with people coz the last time I went there it was kind of empty. It must have been due to the popularity they got when their restaurant was published in The Star newspaper recently and that the food is quite good.

So these are the food that we ordered...


Marina ordered sashimi set with pasta.
The set includes salad and miso soup. She got two sets of salad.


I ordered Chicken Katsudon with pasta in white sesame sauce.
My verdict...it was quite yummy and the potion was big.

Alex ordered Hambug with tomato sauce set.
It was actually two big pieces of beef pattie burger covered with delicious tomato sauce. Hehe...actually my kind of food. It taste great.

Julia ordered fried rice covered with omellete and with tomato paste.
She was not so happy with the food taste....Julia is actually half japanese so she should know what it should taste like. She said, if in Japan...the egg should actually melt in your mouth. I did tried the rice and I agreed with her coz I thought the rice was a bit soggy and furthermore Julia was not happy that the fried rice has capsicum in it. Our verdict....the taste is just moderate but food presentation was interesting.


We also ordered Tiramisu and Fruit Parfait for our desert. I love the Tiramisu...yummy....

Review of Cruel Love Korean Drama

Remember I promise a review of this korean drama in my last month blog...well only watch it if you are a big fan of Kwon Sang Woo (the Stairway to Heaven guy). The drama is a bit draggy and lot of suffering and sadness. A summary of the movie, at first the girl goes out with KSW 's brother in law but he is married to KSW's sister. So KSW's sister found out about the affair and went to attack the girl...causing the girl to miscarriage (yes..she was pregnant with KSW's bro in law's baby). So the girl ran off to an island and lo and behold, she met up with KSW and they both fell in love. So the predicament, when they came back to Seoul...they realize about their situation lah....coz she is KSW's bro in law ex mistress....so from there suffering and torture starts. To make matter worse, the bro in law divorce his wife and declares he still love the girl. So the girl is like in a dilemma....and as usual KSW with his teary doe eye still loves the girl fiercely eventhough the girl cannot make up her mind (hmm...feel like want to sepak her few times....lol)
Ending Spoiler
Be warn...do not read from now on, if you do not want to know the ending of the drama. It is a happy ending....as you can see from the pictures above. KSW and the girl ended up together after been separated for a year. The bro-in-law....poor bugger, he dies coz of some disease but with a contented heart lah and that that he reconcile back with KSW's sister (his ex-wife).
Overall, it has a good ending but not so satisfactory lah coz the girl is a bit stiff.....if I were her, come on show some emotion lah that you finally ended up with the guy you love. The ending was just a hug and smiling to each other (hmm...where is the kiss)....like saying phew thank goodness this drama is over and now can go back to sleep.

Chinese New Year 2008!!

This time for CNY, spend most of my time at my husband's hometown in Johor. Did not go back to Sabah coz not in a condition to fly (sniff, sniff.....8 months pregnant already). At first, we decided to drive back to Johor early in the morning on CNY eve, then my husband suddenly decided after arriving back from work that we should drive back to Johor ton that night itself (the night before CNY eve). Thank goodness there was no traffic jam, smooth sailing and arrived his hometown 10.30pm.


Chinese New Year Eve
Husband and his family all went to the temple to pay respect to their ancestor, I was not urged to go coz of my pregnancy condition. So, while waiting for them to come back, called my family back home and chit chat for a while. For lunch, went to hubby's eldest house to eat fried noodle and fried pork balls. After lunch, played Black Jack...hehe. Then evening time, collected cater food from a chinese restaurant and brought it to the eldest aunt house. Meet all of alex's family members where some came all the way from Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur. They were oohing and aahing my bulging tummy....and some even say i put on much weight and look so chubby. I receive the comment with a smile. After dinner, back to Black Jack!


1st Day Chinese New Year
Yeah...wear new clothes and giving out ang pows. Breakfast had the ritual chinese gingko and longan with deep fried kuih bakul. After breakfast, visited alex maternal grandparents. Lunch time, back to eldest aunt;s house and play Black Jack. Later, it was time to visit the eldest uncle's house and later on back to alex's parents house where the relatives came over. Dinner time, ate a chinese restaurant with the whole family again. After dinner, visited the eldest uncle's daughter house and continue on playing Black Jack...hehe


2nd Day Chinese New Year
Alex maternal's grandparents treated us for lunch. After lunch went to eldest aunt house and played Black Jack. Dinner time, ate with the whole family again at the government rest house. After dinner, back to Black Jack at eldest aunt house. Phew....tiring rotating between eating and black jack....haha.


3rd Day Chinese New Year
This time, relatives came over to alex's parents house for lucnh where my mum in law prepared fried bi hun and fried rice and relatives brought over peking duck (yum yum). After lunch, played Black Jack. Dinner time, had something very different, the family ordered nasi briyani with mutton and chicken. Hmmm...had 2 big plates of nasi briyani (overeating guilt). After dinner, last round of Black Jack.....then before midnight, bid farewell to everyone.

In conclusion, had a great time....and baby in my tummy put on 1.2 kg from all the eating. Now have to go on a diet a bit :p

Baby Bump!



Requested by my friend Sharon to put up my baby bump pic. This is me...30 weeks, well now i am 32 weeks lah. They say you can guess the gender of the baby just by looking at the shape of bump. I already know the gender of my baby...hehe.

Oh yah, thank you Noi for the blouse...hehe. Fits me perfectly. I love to show off to everyone everytime I am wearing this blouse...lol

Amazing Race Asia 2 - Episode 11


I was having a slight migraine, bit of leg cramps and stomach discomfort but I still need to watch the amazing race asia last night. I was hoping that Natassha and Paula can still survive through the race eventhough they were the last team in the previous non elimination round in episode 10 and they will get a 30 min penalty if they fail to be the first team in the next round. This time, the race was in Budapest (hmm....now i know what Budapest looks like)...and the Singaporean team was the the first team to arrive coz they did the Fast Forward beating Marc and Rov (Philippine). Thus, Marc and Rov even tried to help Natassha and Paula by yielding the desperate houswife team....but I guess time was not on Natassha and Paula side. I thought they catched up pretty well...but still they got eliminated. I just like them coz they never fought and was so charming and sweet (in my opinion....they dun look like thai at all) Sayonara to Natassha and Paula
Now only left 4 teams....Singapore, Philippines and 2 Malaysian Teams.
Oh yah, enrollment is open to anyone who is interested in joining the Amazing Race Asia 3, just log on to http://amazing-race-asia.axn-asia.com . Come on....anyone from Sabah??
