A Day Out with the Drama Queen...

Meet Lina Razali or fondly known as Lina Ratu Drama of DFC... LOL...


Known her back in 2007 and we got 'virtually' close, despite our age gap...

She stays in Singapore and this my third time meeting her. She came down all way from Singapore to attend Dafi's birthday celebration...

aiyooo lina!!! mata pandang mana 2?
tgk Dafi ekh? lol...

A day after the event, we decided to spend some time together...

Apparently Lyn and Fara couldn't make it as Lyn ada wedding to attend n Fara had 'difficulties' leaving the house as it was too early... :)

Thank goodness hubs was there to take me to KL... Gigih sangat we had an early start as both of us ada another matter in the afternoon..

Picked her up from Brisdale Hotel... to be honest, i went to the wrong hotel and found another person in the room... aiooo! sangat malu...Rupenya the hotel is just next door...

Then we went for breakfast at Capitol Cafe, depan Sogo... Initially, wanted to take her for capati (lina, google it!!!) but the shop was closed...

Lina enjoying her Meehun Hailam

Capitol Cafe is such an old place and sangat authentic... We had rojak, cantonese kway teow, mihun hailam, toast bread & steamed bread... At first, I was quite worried Lina couldn't tolarate but thank goodness she's ok...

Mihun Hailam

rojak mamak

Cantonese Kway Teow...

Steamed Bread & Roti bakar yang biasa2 jer...
Probably coz we've been comparing it to too many places...

After breakfast, both of us made our way 2 jalan-jalan at Sogo and hubs made his way to starbucks while waiting 4 us..

Then, we sent her back n met her beloved family...

with little Nadiah...
She's a big girl, now!!!

Sista-sista...
The one next to Lina is Munira & the one in pink is Nazia...

gonna miss yr cheekie cheeks.....
mwahhhsx...

A Bite of Roast Turkey

As we walked along the concourse area of Subang Parade, we saw several staff distributing leaflets and a long queue... At the end of the queue, we saw a chef and his assistant carving one large turkey to be given away...

It was Holiday Villa's promotion for CHRISTMAS ROAST TURKEY... And they gave away some turkey for testing purposes... So, we joined the queue, and hit the turkey.. Well, saja nak try... Initially, hubs was agak 'was-was' but since i love turkeys, i told him to just go for it... Xkanlah Holiday Villa nak serve something yang suspicious kn...

the line wasn't that long, though

this is the chef and his 'angel' assistant :D
she looked so cute in this attire...

The roast turkey came with2 type of sauce - Cranberry & Giblet Gravy...
I didn't take the Cranberry as i don't fancy...
the Giblet Gravy is really delicious...

Christmas Roast Turkey with Chestnut Filling...
Apparently we loved the filling more than the turkey... LOL

For inquiries, please call the F&B Dept of Holiday Villa

Meeting an Old Friend

It feels so goood to meet an old friend...

This is Rabiyatul Shariz, fondly known as Rabie... I've known her as we were classmate in Assunta Primary School and we were in same class in Secondary 2... We lost touch and 'met' back via Facebook... This is one the wonders that FB had done :D

This is the 1st time we met after centuries... A least 16 years... Initially, Rabie wants 2 book a venue 2 organize his son's birthday celebration, so asked her 2 drop over so at least she could have a look at the menu...

Lgpun, really wanna meet her :D well, we chat n chat dari hujan lebat sampai hujan berenti n hujan balik... hahhahhah.... like so many things 2 catch up n talked about... well, i think we seriously ought to hang out...

Whatever it is, it was a great pleasure meeting u, Rabie... Thanx a lot for dropping by... and sorry x dapat chat lama....

ps : Rabie is a blogger, too... To read her blog, kindly click here....

Cocktail Buffet of DAFI 21

Happy 21st Birthday, Dafi!!!!

Holla... been ages since my last update... kinda got my hands tied with lotsa stuff esp. work which got me pretty tired 2 blog when i got home...

What a relief that Dafi's Birthday is over n i can consider a successful event... M sure by now, the event had been covered by media and everyone via Facebooks, Blogs, Myspace, etc... And most important via http://dafi-fc.com. Click here to read about it...

Therefore I'd love to look into a different perspective of the event... ie : THE FOODS served!!! hahhahaha....

Eventhough I was pretty packed during the event, I managed to 'steal' a few moments to have some humble snapshots of the foods served... Apparently, left the dessert line... X sempat.. busy with some other stuff :D

DAFI 21

@ Tropicana Golf & Country Resort

In conjunction with Dafi's 21st Birthday on 14th December 2009

Organizer : The Official Dafi Fan Club

Concept : Cocktail Birthday Party

Theme : "Lagu dalam Filem"

Dress Code : Black & White

menu concept :

COCKTAIL BUFFET

all in all, the concept of this event is not DINNER! Therefore, it's not the kind of event where one expect to come for the main purpose of eating aka makan sampai kenyang... It's more to a party concept.. whereby, the foods served are cocktail, where the guest could makan sambil mingle around... Seswai dengan concept 'Cocktail Birthday Party'

that's reason why the club provides mainly CANAPES...

A canapé (Spanish/French for couch^[1] and known in Italy as tartina) is a small, prepared and usually decorative food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite. source : wikipedia

Nevertheless, ada jugak main couse served... Maklumla, mostly Malaysian (plus 1 Singaporean & Indonesian.. spa ek... hehehhe) n tekak orang melayu ni manalah kenyang kalu x dapat yang berat2... Nati ada lak yang compaint x worth paying coz x kenyang... LOL...

therefore, as an organizer, we took all that into consideration and hope our beloved guest are satisfied with the foods...

menu item :

Canape

Chicken Sausages, Egg on Cucumber, Tuna on Cracker, Turkey Ham with Pineapple & Cheese on Toast.

Hot Dishes

Vegetarian Samosa, Lamb Kebab, Spring Rolls, Mini Pizza, Chicken Murtabak & Dalca,

Fried Mee Hoon

Titbits

Peanuts, Vegetable Sticks with Dip & Keropok

Vegetable Sticks served with thousand Island dressing

Dessert

Fresh Fruit Platter, Assorted Pastries, Assorted Malay Kuih & Chocolate Brownies

Orange Cordial

Canape

To me, the best Canape is Tuna on Cracker, Egg on Cucumber & Turkey Ham with Pineapple... But I just ate the topping jer, and left the base behind... sangat membazir kn... The reason why I live those canape is simply because i loved Caviar and Turkey Ham so much... but Caviar is too costly and this is the best time for me to consume it...

Chicken Sausages

Tuna on Cracker

Egg on Cucumber

Cheese on Toast

Turkey Ham with Pineapple

Hot Dishes

Amongst all the hot dishes, i was really enjoying the lamb kebab, eventhogh i only ate 1 stick of the kebab, i could feel the tenderness of the meat and it was really juicy... Hubs said, if nak makan dekat Arabic Restaurant, memang mahal, 1 stick could cost around RM8.00... itupun chicken, not lamb... Should've consume more... But the situation just didn't permit...

Lamb Kebab with mint gravy

Mini Pizza

Vegetarian Samosa

The Birthday Cake

pic taken from DFC's official website

The cake was sponsored by Farhan... In fact, this the second time... The first time was Dafi's birthday last year - the terbang tinngi event at KL Tower... According to Farhan, this time is lagi moist compared to last year... Memang betul pun... Sangat moist!!! Even after 2 -3 days... Thanx a lot, Farhan!!!! And thx 2 Capek gak coz membawaknya all the way 2 Tropikana, naik LRT lagi... Cayalah guys...

I think this is the heaviest cake on earth I've ever seen n lifted... Ya ampunsss... Thank goodness I got help from Lyn & Fara... Itupun I felt my left arm aching & lenguh2 on the next day... Just imagine 5 kg of weight on my arm...

Nevetheless, it was a pleasure carrying the cake for Dafi, the birthday boy... Along with Noryn Aziz (whom I adore so much for her talent, beauty n all) who sang the birthday song, in her own unique way... She is just superb!!!

Nelayan, RSK, Ijan Burger & Iko Fx

This posting had been in my draft 4 quite sometimes...

It was such a long Saturday.. And entry is kinda long gaks...

Got an invitaion from Ray to attend Rumah Si Kecil's Graduation Day.. Since we've got no plan for the day (except a dinner invitation), y not? By the way i never missed RSK's graduation day eversince i knew Ray back in 2007.

So we started our day early (idok la early sangat) and made our way 2 Seremban.. Our first destination was to Nelayan Restaurant in Seremban... Near King George (KGV) School.. My landmark is Shell station and this palce is located by a field known as Padang Rahang Square...

Address :
Nelayan Seafood & Catering Sdn Bhd
Wisma Perisai Wira PT 970, Rahang Square, 70100 Seremban, N9

Tel : 06-761 1190

Basically, this place serves Nasi Campur... But what's special about the nasi campur is the lauk pauk... Ya ampunnn... Mostly masak lomak, Negeri Sembilan's signature dish... And the best part is, the food served here are mostly exotic, i shall say...

Ada ikan Sungai (tapah, baung, patin, keli salai, etc), udang sungai, ayam kampung, perut lembu, tembusu (usus), otak pun ada, n much much more.. If u're lucky enough, u'll even find landak here... Hari 2 i saw rendang itik...

The first pic were taken during our visit few month ago with my in law's... As hubby's mum is from Seremban... And this pic was our meal hari 2... We had Ikan Tapah, Ayam Kampung, Tembusu (a must 4 me), Telur itik and daging salai (hub's fav)...

Wanted 2 have ikan keli but could easily be obtained in Klang Velley so i passed... As for the ikan Tapah, it was ok, sedap and tak bau macam ikan sungai sggt... The 1st one was raw as it was tebal but we managed to change to a new one...

After lunch, we headed straight to Kompleks Penyiaran Tunku Muhamad, RTM Seremban... The was agak isolated but as we got there we were like WOW!!! sangat grand n cool... Cayalah RSK...

It was a great concert.. The kids are so chumellls... Loved the mengaji / translation part... Sejuk hati... :)

Loved their costumes.. Since the theme was sahara, they were dressed like Ali Baba, Penyamun, Arabian and of coz bercirikan Islamiah... Wide jugak theme Sahara ni kn.... Tapi tetiba it reminded me 2 Sahara Yaacob la plak... lol...

after the event with Shima, Capek & Kak Nani

with Ray & Megat yang sangatt buzy during the event

Thanx Ray for the invitation, but so sorry we couldn't stay long n had 2 rush back...

Since we're already in Seremban, x sahlah if x check out Ijan Burger... 2 me, it's like the best burger ever... Furthurmore, hubs belum pernah try lagi... So gagah la carik jalan coz x penah ingat the routes... Ray said, it was only 4 km but 2 me, it was like 14 km. la..

But finally jumpa gaks... Located sangat dekat with Stadium Paroi...

This is my third time being at Ijan Burger... Everytime datang sure dah upgrade... During my 1st visit, it was only a stall... 2nd time, the stall grew bigger... Now the 3rd time dah merge dengan kedai mamak, Syed Maju... Semakin lama, semakin maju... Way 2 go, Ijan Burger...

Besides Burger, i also tried the Roti John... Not bad...
But the burger is still the best...

We had special cheese...
Which also happens to be Nanna Zz's Fav...
And the taste was... unexplainable punya sedap...

The motive of taking this pic is for price reference...
To me, the price memang reasonable...

Then we rushed back home to attend IKO FX Dinner at Grand Bluewave, Shah Alam. Iko Fx is one of forex punya broker... The held this dinner for all their investors.... Tq Iko Fx... But so sad la, x menang lucky draw pun...

Had such a wonderful meal...
Besides these, ada gak grilled item such as chicken drumstik, lamb, beef & more...

from left : Azhan Khalid, Zack & Edil

Guys, x perlu kot pose mcm 2...
dah jadi mcm duta iko fx laks... lol...

I'd like to thank Zack coz sudi 'menyiputkan' kami naik his Peugeot 507 yang indah itew... Murah rezeki uols...

After dinner, kononnya nak continue mamak, but ended up at home... Then i left the guys alone and i begin harvesting my darlink farm of Farm Ville.... Lallalalla....

What a longgggggggggggg dayyyy, yet a wonderful one... Thanx to alll :)
