assorted snapshots III

just got back from Sabah... dead tired now... and while I compile the tonnes of photos taken, below are some assorted snapshots prior to the Sabah trip...


view from Mount Singai...


sunlight through the canopy...


went for lunch at this Red Dragon Cafe after the Mount Singai climb...


ordered this frog soup (田雞湯), which was surprisingly good... especially the thick soup...


squirrel meat cooked with soy sauce & dried chili... looked impressive but it was a total let down... we weren't even charged for this dish as it was really lousy...


this huge bowl of laksa cost RM6, but I tell ya, it's worth every penny paid...


salmon sushi, salmon sashimi and caviar... I like!!


assorted seafood @ the Hilton Mediterranean Buffet...


and I bought this Camel Active belt before going to Sabah as my old one is almost spoilt...

the Nuffnang cheque finally arrived...

got home last Thursday to find out that the Nuffnang cheque had arrived... so it's somewhat abit of extra petrol money for the week... heh... Many Many Thanks to Nuffnang and Timothy!


RM2.70 per liter for RON97 means that I'm only getting a mere 18.52 liters for RM50 into the tank after the lau-yaa stiuupid G announced the new price increase... -____-

Sashimi Hana...

tried out this 3-piece Sashimi Hana set at Rakutei last night, and I'd say it's pretty worthy as each piece came wrapped with two huge slices of salmon sashimis...


the combination of sushi with salmon, tobiko and mayonnaise tasted brilliant...

by far the best I've tasted...

went to The Hilton Steak House for dinner a couple of days back, and I ordered the Steak Diane...


the dish was cooked at the table, with the chef playing these fire stunts to that piece of tenderloin... it was a trill to watch how the steak was being prepared...


presentation looked good eh?? the sauce was a mixture of mushroom, butter, wine and *I forgot*...


the taste was incredible... by far the best I've had there compared to the sirloin, rib-eye and t-bone steaks...
I asked for the meat to be medium done, and the texture of it was way tender and juicier compared with the rest I've mentioned before...
and I only paid RM29.50++ for it... :))

impulsive purchases...

it was initially more of a window shopping session, but I ended up with quite some purchases... damage to the wallet was pretty huge... and I'd probably have to work more overtime to heal the wallet...


this pair of Police shades is to replace the ZeroX, which has been around since late 2006...


and having 50% discount on Dockers Khakis is simply irresistible... so I left the shop 30 minutes later with 2 pairs of jeans and one pair of working khakis... -_______-"

Gawai Holiday Food & Drink Spree...

it was a long Gawai holiday (over the weekend till Tuesday) for us Sarawakians and Sabahans... and apart from going visiting (which I failed miserably on locating Niny's place despite being there before)... sleeping late, go swimming, eating out and having drinks at nights were pretty much the routine for the 4 days...

Suzuki Sashimi...


the Salmon Don I ordered... very generous amount of Salmon slices given...

ordered Nama Kani Karaage (soft shell crab), Yasai Salad as well as Komochi Shishamo (Grilled Smelt Fish), which I totally forgot to take a few snapshots of due to me busily digging into my Salmon Don... -_____-"


went to this place called MyHouse Steamboat & BBQ Seaffood along the road towards Pending on the weekend... the open garden concept was really soothing and relaxing... plus with the constant breeze... you won't even feel the heat from the steamboat...


waiting for the stuff to be cooked... and again I forgot to take a snapshot of the fried chicken wings served, which were seriously to-die-for...


opened up a Glenmorangie at Ipanema on Gawai night... and surprisingly, business was quite slow for the night, cos probably everyone got themselves hangovers on the Gawai Eve booze parties and having too much tuak during the day...
