Lunching on a Sunday

Me and my eldest sister along with her two gremlins were pretty much undecided and very hungry that I think I can smell my bile juice (hahaha Ira always say that) on where to have lunch, but alas, in the end, we agreed to eating Chicken Rice at Thien Thien Restaurant in Kiulap. Never mind the label but the chicken was supplied by Ideal Multifeed, so I have no problem with that, just as long as the chickens are slaughtered according to the Islamic law, I'm good :D Anyways, this place is my favourite place to have Chicken Rice. From MY point of view, its the best Chicken Rice in all of Brunei. Out of 10, I'd rate it a 9! Just the Chicken Rice ah! LOL!!!

The steamed chicken, steamed to perfection

The rice, just perfect!

This is tea or teh, not Teh 'C'

The chili which I could just talk about all day, seriously yummy with the nasi ayam

This is how I eat my nasi ayam with the chili :D

The Kolo Mee which my brother was bragging about, but then, it was as good as that eatery nearby. The mee itself was wrong. Nothing to brag about!

The curry laksa was good, best eaten with the sambal goreng :D

Dinner with both the parents

Daddy loved taking us all out to eat. And last night, was Indian night :P tsk...tsk...I didn't feel like going to Foodzone anyways haha :D Had the usual, one of my favourites. This place, has been around since I was a little girl, I'm not sure how long has the establishment been there, but for all I remember, it tasted yummy and never disappointed me. Out of 10, I'd give it an 8 and a 1/2. Located at Batu Satu, this place serves a combination of the Northern and Southern Indian cuisine. The name of the place, Popular Restaurant. Do visit the place on Fridays to Sundays, they serve Banana Leaf dishes. Not your typical kedai Mamak. And if you're adventurous, you might was well try the Indian Sweets :D

Tea tarik or Chai, always a perfect complement to any Indian dishes you're having
p.s : Do make sure when you have your tea, the water is all purely hot water and not mixed with warm water or else, it'll definitely taste different

Mummy had Masala Dosai

The insides of the Masala Dosai, Potatoes and mixed Veggies

My dinner, paper dosai :D very crunchy! Love the chutneys!

Daddy was having pratha with chicken curry

Chicken 65. Always my favourite!

Lunching with the bffs

I just love saturdays because I can just laze around, tho I'm still doing my work, but I can still spend time with the people I care most, like my bffs, over lunch. Haven't been around to meet up with them much lately, so we decided a quick pasta fix would be the perfect lunch since its always the perfect fit for the tummy as well as doing a lil catching up :D So, off to Fratini's at the Centrepoint we went! Too bad I had the sniffles so I couldn't pretty much make what the smell and taste of all the lovely foods we had, but what matters most is spending time with the Bffs. Love you all :D And I would like to congratulate my bff, Natasha Faizal XoXo ~\0/~ Yay!!! You did it love!!! See you on monday, definitely! :D

The meat lovers' pizza, guess the size of this baby

Will you look at that?! Its 9 inches of a single slice!!! Yummy!!!

The tigatelli el funghi
p.s : the chicken cannelloni and lasagne isn't in this picture due to my forgetfulness LOL :P but both are just, heavenly!

Tomato Bruschettas and Garlic bread with cheese and anchovies

My favourite finishing, the Tiramisu. Its just very yummy!!! I reckon you have this whenever you visit any Fratini's Branch, but preferably Gadong or at Picolo Fratini's ;)

A day with Ira at Charcoal

I did came to know that one of my bff is back in town, I missed her much, hence we planned on having a lunch out at Charcoal. My colleagues were making a fuss about the set meal, but it didn't quite registered into my head at that time because all I could think about was meat, Lamb Chops to be precise! LOL!!! Not my first visit to say the least but Yes, it was a wonderful place. I'd say, the ambiance itself is quite, hmm..how do I describe it, cosy in a way :D I'd rate it, a 6 out of 10

No, these aren't calamari rings, its Onion rings. A bit oily but it's still edible
and yummy :D

Corn chips, eh.....

The Sparkling Pink Guava drink

Nope, not rootbeer, but Pepsi Twist XD How I love the thought of serving cold drinks in Frosted Glasses

I love you, frosted glass! It was my second helping of Pepsi Twist :P

The pesto pesto :) I wouldn't reckon it, but I guess its up to you to decide :D

Ira's plate of lambchops :D

And lastly, my plate of lambchops

Under The Weather

Sorry for not updating lately because I've been a little under the weather.Especially with the rain and my office being very. very cold, macam 'Henglan', isn't helping much! But once I'm alive and kickin', I'll be sure to update you people, so watch out! :D

Dinner

Dining out with both my parents with just me tagging along seems to be an obligatory thing I should fulfill but I get to order whatever drink I want, yay! Hahaha boring! Mummy wanted to try the Kari Kepala Ikan at this eatery in Lambak, which seems to be one of the most ordered dish there. Hence, wal-lah! Out of 10, I'd give it a 6 saja.

The Kari Kepala Ikan which we dug into already

Kailan

Butter chicken, rough texture of the uras @ rambut as my niece Raniya called it

Home Bound - Escape No.2

Well, I guess I was feeling a bit well on that particular day until someone reported back to the office which left me back with a fever. *curses under breath* hahaha :P Ok, on that particular day, me and my sister went to this eatery at Kiarong Complex since my first impression during my first visit was quite nice, especially with the 'Milo Malt Toast', which, somehow, made me laugh with sheer delight! But, that particular day, things didn't went as I thought it would, the waitress, or as my sister and I called her 'The Clever/Divine One'. Thinking of her surely made me cringe! I hated her soooo much!!! We ordered this dish, and after looking further down on the menu, we decided to cancel the first dish, and ordered the second one. She said okay. And lastly, one rice dish. She repeated our order, and we agreed. In the end, the first one (which we cancelled earlier) and the second dish arrived, but the third rice dish, didn't reach us at all. I was practically yelling at her. Urgh! I could not stand people like her, when she repeated our order, it was correct, but the end result was absolutely ridiculous! I'd say, I'm very disappointed by that kind of service, and believe me, that would be the first and the last visit! The name of the restaurant : Nur Wanitas. Enough said!

The rice dish which I had to 'yell' at the waitress for

The Milo Malt Toast - Not as nice as it was before, the milo was sekubit! Might as well call it the Sweet Condensed Milk Toast

The second dish we ordered - fried calamari, not nice! Its as hard as flip-flops!

The first dish which we canceled, also not yummy! It tasted like something out of an Ayam Brand Tuna!!!

Home Bound - Escape No.1

Home Bound escape number one/uno as I may call it hahaha :P seriously, I was watching the Makansutra/See Toh on AFC since I couldn't go out, well, was abandoned from doing so, he was going through some Italian restaurant. I, as usual, am always my hungry self when watching the Food channel, then, had this brilliant idea of taking my lil sister to makan pasta ourselves...huhu and off we went for pasta-capades a.k.a Fratini's. Yay us!!! Yes, it was escape numero uno for me...since erm...Thursday and it was Friday. Only then to my disappointment, the lasagna wasn't as yummy as it was before :S *bummer* but it did hit the spot! LOL!!! Cheese and its wonders!!!

Cafe Latte

Tomato Bruschetta

Beef Lasagna

And lastly, the salmon pizza

Fast Food - Local

Eating out, I figured how much I missed that garlicky taste of french fries with a tinge of chicken seasoning, yum! So I headed out to Express Fast Food, locally owned. As usual, I'd request for Chips (fat french fries) 'bagi banyak seasoningnya ah'. I thought it'd taste dull without 'em seasonings. Huhu now I'm craving for the chips!

The Chips that I yearned for with 'banyak seasoning' hahaha

La Curly fries, a new additional

The famous 'Express Fried Chicken' yumm!!!

Home Bound

I think you'd know why I'm home bound by just looking at the picture. Yes, 5 days of home rest. The first day isn't through yet, and I'm already bored :S

You might've guessed it. Nope, I'm still under self-quarantine

So, to fill my time, chased the cats about and here's a few pics...

Kicap, surrendered to sleeping with mummy

Phoebe, playing a game of hide and seek

Eating out

Last night, me, mummy and daddy went out to eat, at this eatery just nearby Scout's Building, I think it was called Trader's Cafe. Wasn't all that tho, I guess I wasn't at peace with my tummy, that's why. Hehehe :P ate Wantan Hor, was alright and the dumplings is okay. You can give it a try, and judge for yourself.

The Wantan Hor

Fried Dumplings, anyone?

Foods that I made

Behold, my cookery skills! Hahaha I only make things when I'm bored, which reminds me, I've a cake order to be in by this week!!!
