farewell

Have been uploading some old photos to my multiply site. Check it out at http://nickypm.multiply.com/


It's farewell again. This time is nelson's. Can't help but feeling a lil blue for someone's leaving again even though we can still meet up occasionally. We always say keep in touch when someone is leaving, but we all know that keeping in touch is difficult at times. Everyone lead his/her separates lives, working his a** off for their career, busy pak torring etc. Anyhow I'll try my best to catch up with you guys ya! ^^

We decided to held a farewell dinner for nelson at naili's. I went to their HQ at Sentul before and i like their deco especially the tree house dining area. I used to go there with my unimates and we called it "climb tree" if we were going to Sentul naili's for yum cha session. Miss it so much!!


This naili's is their branch located at Damansara Uptown. The cafe is just above the Alliance Bank and they separate the cafe into air-cond and open-air two partition. It was a hot day so we opted for the air cond area which is very cozy and nicely decorated with tropical plants as well!

Here's some photos taken at nailis's...


Cucuk ikan bilis. A must try!
Cozy...
Nasi lemak ayam rendang. Cat put a thumb up for this.
Mushroom soup ordered by Nelson...
Nasi goreng
Tom yum seafood... the staff at naili's added the soup for us after we finished it ^^
I ordered Tom yum meehoon. Hot and yummy!! n_n
Nicholas and i shared this... Mexico bruritto. Not bad if you like cheesy stuff.
It has been a wonderful night having dinner with all my lovely team mates. All the best for Nelson's bright future!! ^^

Brunch @Black Canyon Coffee cafe

Went to Black Canyon Coffee cafe on a sunny Sunday back on 22th April...
It's a cafe offers fusion thai and western food. The environment is cozy and offer a wide range of coffee. Even got a separate menu for beverage and dessert!! =p





A separate division perfect for holding a party...


I ordered Iced lemon tea cause i can't stand caffein...



Orange juice. No good. Buy a sunquick from supermarket and mix it at home if you wanna try this, it might taste even better.

Spicy Fried Fettuccini with Seafood and Hot Basil. Not bad if you are looking for some special pasta. Only one thing i don't like about the pasta is that the fish is not fresh enough.

Fettuccini with Chicken Green Curry. Personally i still prefer red curry...

I wanted to order their cakes but was tempted to order this instead...
Mocha Chip Premium Ice Cream. RM7.90
Honestly I think Wall's selection ice cream taste better than this and only cost you about RM9.90 for a TUB.

How to go on a road trip for less than RM60

Sze Mun and I were discussing on where to go on Labour day since it was a holiday... We are all broke at that time so we decided to go for a budget road trip. I suggested going to Ipoh or Sungkai hotspring, but the toll will be costly. Hence, we decided to go to Port Dickson for a shortbreak.

We agreed that the road trip should stay within RM50 budget inclusive of toll, gas, food everything. Nevertheless, we exceeded our budget by a few bucks hehe.... anyhow, RM60 for a road trip is consider an economic trip already. n_n

We gathered at my home around 7.30am, never expected Siang to reach my house the earliest!! We then went for dim sum breakfast near my house and off we go...


We reached PD around 9am and head straight to the Ostrich farm. SM found a few "tourist spots" from the internet cause we have no idea what we can do here except for the beach...

Ostrich park entrance fee: RM8. The farm is not well maintained. Smelly shit + "balding" ostriches.
There are other animals kept in the farm such as goat, turkey, peacock, crocodile, duck etc.


Kit feeding the starving big bird. This was one ferocious bird i tell ya... only Kit dared to go near to feed them...



Afro chic...


White peacock



Me on an Ostrich egg. The amazing egg can bear up to 230kg of weight.


The lighthouse. Entrance fee: Free. A place worth going for its view and greenery park.



Breathtaking seaview... i never expected to see such beautiful view at PD here!


After visiting the lighthouse, we have absolutely nothing to do at PD. So, i suggested either head south to Melaka or north to Seremban for grilled crab meal. Since it was still early in the afternoon and not a suitable time for crab meal, we decided to head south.
By the time we reached Melaka, it was 1.00pm. We headed straight to Nancy's kitchen for lunch since our stomaches already fighting to get our attention.


Melaka must try dessert: Cendol! Your Melaka trip ain't complete without trying the local cendol. The santan is so fragrant and i just love their gula melaka... n_n

Another worth trying snack is the Nyonya popiah. The size of the popiah is bigger than those we normally have in KL. So, we just ordered one each for the popiah. Have you eaten a popiah with prawn, 猪油渣 and sambal in it?



After having lunch at Nancy's kitchen, we have nothing to do untill another round of meal. While we were circling around Melaka town, we saw this new shopping mall located just opposite The Mahkota Parade. Apparently it's Melaka own megamall - Dataran Pahlawan. It was a freaking hot afternoon, so we have no choice but to stay in an air-con mall.




Many major flagship outlets are available here such as MNG, Esprit, PADINI etc. It's a fairly new mall but it's already pack with people. Seems like Melaka people are all going to the mall or maybe pack with people like us all over from KL?!
We were lepaking around the mall to kill our time. But it was damn boh liao so we decided to eat again! =_="
We saw this self-claimed Melaka first Hong Kong style Cafe and decided to give it a try.
The cafe's owner must be a dedicated HK TVB series fan cause she put a wallpaper size photo she took with TVB hunkies, Lam Fung, Cheng Ka Weng etc in front of her cafe.

The food there taste so so only + poor service , we waited soooo long for our food and drinks. Chee Thing said its pork burger size is smaller than Kim Gary and Siang's french toast is toooo oily. I ordered the fried milky bun, taste ok but it can taste better if its custard texture is smoother.





Used to see giant lizards here along Sungai Melaka... now GONE after they "beautify" as waterfront sidewalk.


We then walked to Jonker street which is just nearby Sungai Melaka... unfortunately, Jonker streeet night market only operates on weekend, so we went to eat another round of cendol. n_n



Assam laksa sold out, so Sze Mun ordered the Nyonya laksa. Taste like sambal curry, not bad though...


Finally, satay celup time!! Kit brought us to this satay celup stall by the roadside. It was the cheapest satay celup I had so far... only cost 40 cent per stick!! 5 of us had 117 sticks for only RM53.70. I had 20 sticks by myself already =_=" I'm soooo going to watch out my diet from now on....

Team dinner@Souled Out

Some time ago, my team was having dinner at Souled Out Sri Hartamas... It's a very happening place especially its ground floor. Waiters and waitresses there are extremely enthusiastic. I remembered going there for X'mas, they wore X'mas constume and would sing X'mas songs to cheer the crowd.


My bosses opened a few bottles of liquors for all of us even we have ordered our own cocktails. My cocktail some magarita, i forgot its name was absolutely horrible. Taste like vegetable juice and it cost like 20 over bucks!! Anyhow, I ordered the cod fish for main course cost RM40++ if not mistaken, the fish is not even fresh ok!


We decided to order dessert since the main course didn't satisfy us and it was my company's treat.


I ordered Haagen Dazs ice cream. Rum and raisin flavour. I like a lil bit liquor blend with ice cream, not so sweet yet sooooo yummilicious!



Nicholas ordered chocolate ice cream. If you love choc you will have to try this! The chocolate flavour is soooo rich!!



We ordered cakes as well. How often can you order whatever you like in a restaurant? Unless it's a company sponsored one. Hehe...

Strawberry cheesecake. Thick cheese flavour but i still like Pizza Uno's strawberry cheesecake the best.



Oreo cheesecake. Cheese flavour is the same as the strawberry one except it's topping is different only. For Oreo cheesecake i would recommend De Pastry, taste the best with its smooth texture.



Hazelnut cake.






Bratt gone after a few drinks. After waking up, he puked in the washroom!





Kevin making funny pose with goner Bratt. =p





Me and lim beh Sim chilling out. Hope we get another round of team dinner soon =p
