# Catch Up
Hello people. This is a long overdue blog entry. And yeah, its because i either had no mood, or was surprise, surprise... busy.
Yupz. So lets start all the way back in Malaysia. Haha, not when I was born, but when I went home to my home. Yupz. Was supposed to get back to scholarship applications at that time but a pc was so nice to have once again i started by slacking. Haha. Read the blogs i usually read and then pretty much did NOTHING. I just love Malaysia!
Then in the morning, I had my favourite breakfast for like, i dunno, 4 years already, at least? Nasi Lemak from my Maluri market. Yay, the chicken curry there is nice. The sambal too. (crap.. now im feeling hungry) And the rice is nice too. I need better adjectives other than nice.
Had some time to do shopping as well. Bought one pair of pants, which we changed for a bigger size. Haha, proof that im fat. 33 now already... wa... summore they didn't have black, so had to settle for almost black. Oh well. Bought two polo t-shirts as well so now my collection is up to 3! Yay, and the new ones are SO comfortable. Love the new blue. Hehe
Basically I just love the food in Malaysia. Had Shakeys, KFC (one piece of chicken, lolz), mamak (which still rocks), some Island Cafe thingy and Fish and Co. And I shall now elaborate on the last two.
Firstly, Fish and Co in 1 Utama. This was planned like the second day i got back but only got to it like, Friday. This was an adventure cuz firstly, I didn't know where the Fish and Co in Bandar Utama is. Was it at The Curve or 1 Utama. So mom jz drove towards The Curve cuz w thought it was there, but the jam leading into The Curve was horrible, we decided on 1 Utama instead.
Parked our car quite near the Elevator and i keyed in the parking lot number to my handphone cuz its so easy to lose a car. Then we just walked into 1 Utama mindlessly and within 5 minutes, we stumbled upon fish and Co. Yaynesses. I took a look at the now-familiar menu and saw the price of Fish and Chips. RM15.90. RM!!! Can u believe it!! I was laughing at the entrance. Lolz!!!
So we went in and ordered 3 set meals. Biggest mistake ever. But how bad could it be at RM19.90++, for Singaporeans, thats roughly $10. Haha! So the food took quite long to come. My sis and I took a walk in the 1 Utama Rainforest (SG-eans, dun think u'd understand, but thats jz reason to visit Malaysia =) and then came back cuz the Koi's looked like they were already overcrowded themselves in the "rivers".
Finally, our food came, firstly, the appetiser. Some soup. Nice tasting soup. (I need more foodie adjectives ryte..) Our drinks were around too, some Kola Tonic and Passion Fruit thingies. So we ate our desserts and the timing was not too bad cuz the 3 fishies swam along to our table in classic Fish n Chips, Grilled Corriander and Sweet Sour fashions respectively. But one side of veggies were late. Oh well, veggies dun swim.
So we ate and ate and ate and i gave my sis and mom warning not to eat ALL the fries first cuz its A LOT. Too much even. So we got the classic 3 sauces but mom wanted "normal (thats what the waiter called it) chilli sauce" so we got that too. And by the time we were halfway through, we were getting full. And the drinks were barely touched.
So we slowly ate and became more and more bloated. Then we coud go no further and decided to ta pao our remaing chips and veggies. As the fries left the table, the waiter mumbled something like, .....dessert... now....
We still had dessert!!!.... and we were like praying that it would be a single scoop ice cream. And when it came, it was three little cups of vanilla. The drinks were still not finished. Oh well. We tried our best and did manage to finish everything and felt extremely full. Mom said it was worth it paying RM19.90++ for it. Yay!!
So my suggestion was a good one. Although i doubt we'll ever eat Fish and Co again. The final bill was abt RM87 for 4 people. Lets play the conversion game and that leads to $38. Haha, eat your fishes out Fish and Co SG!
Other nice makan time was the one with SM, SY, C2, Dom and CY. It was at the mysterious place which Suet Mei didn't want to tell us before hand. Usually we would settle for mamak, but since SOMEBODY was having an ulcer and didn't want "heaty" food, so we had to go to a cafe. And when we picked everyone up and were on the way, she said the cafe SHOULD be around there and we should turn right. We ended up turning left...
So with brilliant directions from a woman, we eventually found the place, called Island Cafe. Haha. When we got a place to sit, I instantly didn't like the music cuz it was too loud, but oh well, we were here. Once again we took almost forever to order and I settled for some Mocha Choc Chips thingy. Not a wise choice cuz im not a coffee drinker. Oh well, we had more fun playing with the toothpicks that came with our shrimpballs. If i ever feel like it, i'll upload some photos from this night.
Interesting facts i found out about my friends
-Suet Mei is now attached
-See Tho is a human friendster, combined with Google News
-Dom and I are totally out of date with Malaysian friends latest news
-Postage to England, LSE, is incredibly expensive
-Shing Yee is pure evil, and proud of it
It was a nice time catching up with everyone and reminiscing old memories. Had fun guessing SM’s bf as well. And linking it with every other story. See Tho got a belated bday present as well. It was an annoying elephant toy which makes a stupid sound while flapping its ears. We’re supposed to be turning 20 this year… my gosh… But anyway, we enjoyed playing with it and the candy was very hard to get. Darn. At 12 midnight we were outside SY apartment building and making stupid noises with the elephant. But it was fun talking and talking and talking.
That’s abt it for my Malaysia trip. Special shout out goes to Claire for the chat (= Txs junior!Labels: 1 Utama, Chi Yee, Dominic, Elephant toy, Fish and Co., Island Cafe, See Tho, Shing Yee, Suet Mei
