Dark Secrets Revealed.

Nah, this is just a dating tip an advertisement.

I watched the latest sequel of the Harry Potter series today. Met up with Gerard at Star Cineplex, before we headed for lunch at Life Cafe. We had some nice spicy noodles and pearl milk tea, but I must say that the portion has significantly reduced.

The new State Legislative Building( view from Level 9 of Medan Pelita)

As we were early for our movie, we went around the local shops around the area, which specialise in selling local handicrafts which among others include blow pipes, statues, keris, bow and kain pua. There were also stalls at the walkway, either selling Sarawak kek lapis or aphrodisiac which includes the locally famous Sarawak gambir. However as I was walking pass one of these stalls, I noticed that a small little bottle with brownish transparent concoction. Apparently, it's leech oil. According to one of the seller , the leech oil is good for massage. " Boleh jadi besar dan panjang." ( Open for interpretations)

The one on the left looks much better.

Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince is the sixth adaptation of the popular Harry Potter series.In this sequel, Harry Potter and the gang went back to Hogwards for their sixth year. A new potions professor by the name of Horrace Slughorn, who knows a vital secret about the dark lord is introduced to the school. Dumbledore assigns Harry to the task of getting this secret from Horrace who usually hold dinner parties with a select few elite students. Harry falls in love with Ron's sister, Ginny Weasley.

When, Harry and Dumbledore discovers the dark lord's dark secret- that Lord Voldemort has been using horcruxes in his attempt to stay immortal, they set off to a place far away to retrieve another of the horcrux. In the end, when the deatheaters entered Hogwards grounds , Dumbledore was killed by Snape. Overall, I find this to be a nice movie, although I would say that it could be better.

Bloggers' Meet @ Village Fast Food

Last Saturday, I went for a food tasting session for bloggers at Village Fast Food. Personally, I have not been to any blogger event before. But since, I'm on holiday, I thought I would give it a try. The event was jointly organised by Eating Out@ Kuching (Eat Ok) with Green Bento and Village FastFood (VFF).

Being a shy person, I asked the tam chiak Evelyn if she was interested to go as well.

 

What sort of expression is that ? Lol.

Village Fast Food is located on Jalan Onn Kee Hui, opposite of the SUPP Hall . It has a concept of healthy dining; where no MSG is added in the food. Thus, no extra thirst and migraine which you might experience from eating food which are splashed with MSG. A concept similar to my mum's cooking.*winks*

The concept of fresh healthy meals was started by Caroline Wee  at Green Bento. Now , she's expanding to Village Fast Food.

We were rather late,reaching when the introduction session was about to end.

This is not the first time, I blog about food, but usually, people would ask me why I would take a photo of the food before eating.However,  yesterday, there were 7 bloggers at our table and you could see everyone snapping away at the food before digging in.We started our course with soup.

Hot & Sour Soup. A heart warming dish for those who have a craving for spicy food.

Rice was served in a cute little bowl.

Butter prawn. 

You could also consume the head and tail portion of the prawn as well.I did. Seriously, it was nice.

Nyonya Sweet and Sour Chicken

I love it.The sauce was evenly spreaded throughout the boneless chicken.

Nestum Fish Fillet. Personally, I would prefer it with more nestum.XD

4 Combo Vegetable

I could taste the delicious sambal  leaking through the slices of lady finger.

Fried Mee Sua Cangkuk Manis

Actually, I would prefer more of the cangkuk( ma li chai) , but I guess VFF didn't want to overdose us with cangkuk.

Fish and Chips.

It was served with ketchup and my all-time favourite- tar tar sauce.

 

Grilled Beef Steak

The beef steak was served with 3 different sauce: 

Brown Sauce, Mushroom Sauce and Black Pepper Sauce

One of the blogger from my table winning a gift. ( I forgot her name) =.=

Emmelina and Francis (One of person involved in organizing of the event)

I would say the event was a success. Well done to Caroline, Francis, Annna and all the crew that made the event possible.=)

Revival of the shutter bug

I saw a cat outside the window yesterday. And decided to do some photography. Since, it's volunteering to be my model.

This is taken with my phone.

Realizing that it wasn't a good shot, I hunted searched for my aging camera. It's been some time since I used it.Hence, I took these:

With optical zoom only.

Unable to get a clear shot of the creature, I opted for digital zoom.

A little blur.

Frustrated with the quality of photos taken, I decided to try my luck outside with my phone.

Doesn't seem any better.

T.T

More food for me

Yes. You can't stop me from eating more good food. I'm a food addict.

I went to Top Spot Food Court for dinner just now, with my family. It's right on top of the Permata Car park( Level 6).

And the place serve one of the best sea-food in town.

The stall which we ordered from.

The front of stall is usually crowded with people.

As we waited for our food, a guy from another stall came and asked if we would liked some prawns.

Ta da.

Nice delicious prawns but rather expensive.These prawns cost RM 60 per kg.

Those four prawns above cost RM 69.90 .=.=

On average, that makes this prawn worth around RM17.50 .

( Figure rounded up)

Other than that, the rest of the food was not that costly.

Tofu

Mushroom delight

Fresh crispy fish.

Crab

And more crab.

Sarawak One-Stop ICT Hub @ Kuching

Yesterday,I went to One TJ to have a look at the newest shopping complex in Kuching, dedicated to ICT products and services. The whole complex is said to be powered with wireless by deConneXion. Let's hope they expand their services to the neighbourhood nearby. =)

Aunties and kids were crowding around the Blue Hyppo

SaMba Zone-the food court at Level 4.

Unfortunately, there was nothing much to see, as most of the shops were not open yet.
