'Under One Atap Cafe' Beach Farewell Party

2010-10-01T23:12:00.008+08:00

This post should be up 3 months ago yet I can't make it so.. Here was the Farewell Party My coursemates and I planned out..
It was planned after our final exam paper in the exam hall itself.. With lil sponsors from everyone, our Chief Obala brought Gareth and I for shopping..
Okay I better cut the crap and proceed with the post..

Nothing beats a red flame from hot burning charcoal..

Started our Plan by doing Mis En Place aka preparations at Jeffrey's House.. Fried Tom Yam Bihun is from his mommi recipe!

We went over to the beach behind Flamingo Hotel.. Clean and Safe Public Beach, no?

We started with beach soccer.. That is why we are seperated in two photos..

Ehhh, where's the ball?

And our class joker did something crazy..

Deadman Cobra.. Eye mask with cockles shell..

Human Pyramid! Doing something crazy again!

Patrick the late comers! Still, he came tho!

And Joseph! The very very late comer! So we decided to throw him into water.. Well we all was thrown into the sea during day light.. Scared of Jelly fish lah..

And our class Amoi and Awek! :D

With the ladies, we decided to have some candle light BBQ dinner under the unbrella..

Grilled by Chef De Cuisine himself, Susu Chuen!

Jelly stung Fish! this is why we left the water after sun sets..

Yummy with Rosemary!

Lamb, beef satay, mixology Miami Butcher sausages, corn, chicken..

and not forgetting marshmellow with homemade chocolate sauce and honey..

And we got into some race!

And Human Sword Fight.. Don't ask me why it is called sword fight ok..

Plan to make human pyramid ala 4 level..

Heih Heih Heih!

And they still never forget about PCC! Team Al-Dente :D

Team Mirepoix!

Team AtapCafe + Under One Roof!

**CHEERS** I am sure everyone enjoyed this special night :D

Ferringhi Garden

2010-08-23T20:21:00.004+08:00

This is one heck of over-due posts too.. Since I revisit the restaurant again last 2 days, I would like to share this lovely place with everyone!
Ferringhi Garden is located in Batu Ferringhi, Penang or after Park Royal Hotel along the road..

We entered through the back door as there is the parking places for customers.. Those who are familiar with Sunset Bistro will eventually find their back door.. Parking is free and safe too..

The Back door straight to the Bar.. It was a second bungalow I assume.. Back of the bar is the kitchen..

We walked upfront and was attended by a pleasant lady.. She was nice enough to introduce us the foods after we told them the type of meals we would like to have..

From the mixed grill section.. Beef sirloin and Chicken.. There are little wine reduction to enhance the presentation and ofcourse taste..

Miss Chuinny had her all time favourite Seafood Spaghetti Carbonara.. Generous portion with really big sized salmon, prawns and mussels..

I took their Beef and the waitress introduced me the French Peppered Tenderloin.. The medium rare grilled beef tastes so good with the black pepper marination.. The second time we were there, I introduced it to Wai Kit and he loves it too!

The interior part at the front portion of the Restaurant..

The Bar!

Would you like to have dinner here?

Exterior.. The whold restaurant is filled with plants, flowers and there are a mini waterfall with koi pond.. Lets not describe how beautiful this place is here.. Go try it yourself perhaps? I don't bluff people remember? :D

Stairway to upstairs.. Exterior or interior also awesome!
The second time we went, non of us took any photos but we will be going there again..
Maybe end of this week when OBala is back? Heh..

Btw, we had complimetry desserts thanks to the manager, Fabian who is also my ex-schoolmate.. Thanks man! Your place is certainly awesome!

4th Penang Chef Challenge

2010-08-03T16:06:00.004+08:00

This is an overdue post like for 3 months ago ady.. The PCC is held on 4th to 6th July in Penang Sports Arena (PISA)..
KDU sent 11 apprentice team and 1 professional team to the competition. My friends and I were selected to represent KDU in the junior team. We were selected by our mentor, Mr. Darren and given the name Al-Dente where our allience with the name Mirepoix. These 2 teams are from Semester 6 and we went for training about 10 times before entering the competition under Mr. Darren. Each team comprises of 4 team mates where one prepare appetizer, soup, entree and desserts.

First Day, we were the first to battle with 9 other teams. The competition are devided into 5 rounds where the first round, it is to get the highest 16 teams for second round then goes to knock-out system at the second round till the end.

This is Obala, my team soup chef.. The one who impress chefs with papaya soup!

Gareth the appetizer chef..

And the first morning, the active catfish had a party last night and all of them were on the floor when we reach therefore we found out that their main black box given will be catfish! It was true. There are black box for main ingredients, secret ingredients and every round of ingredients given are different and this is very challenging accordin to the main judges.

Our first round products.. Appetizer: pan-seared catfish topped on spaghetti aglio, chicken skewers on fruit chutney.. Tomato and carrot soup with chicken ball.. Entree, pan fried and deep fried catfish with mint durian rice and finally Dessert, Oreo baked cake with white chocolate pana cotta and seasonal fruit compote..

We got 1st in the first round among 6 teams. :3 But overall among 32 teams, we gt 6th position therefore qualify for the second round.

Listening to junior chief judge comments after round 1..

During competition.. Other teams all looking ready for their battle!

KDU PJ team in action!

Fruits and vegetables available but not all the rounds have the same ingredients.

Stock, sauces and instant dry products to enchance cookings..

Plates, shooter glass and etc for platting..

After 5 rounds of Battle in 3 days, we ended 4th and are given the semi-finalist certificate..
#1 goes to Thai Junior
#2 Singapore Junior
#3 to KDU team (Sketch)

To me, competition is not about winning or losing, it is about the strategy and heart you give in to gain what is not expected.

360 Degrees @ AtapCafe Themed Buffet

2010-07-11T09:55:00.017+08:00

AtapCafe is created/ formed by a group of 20 students from KDU College (PG) via our Project Module subject. It is a cafe fully operated by students & supervised by our lecturer, Chef Yuzrem for 14 weeks..
Project Module is the last project which enables students to learn and also run a cafe operation. In the last semester, we are given the opportunity to make our own uniform, creat our own logo, service style of our cafe and other stuffs as long as we follow the subject guidelines.

Finally after 14 weeks of battle, we finally come to our Final Themed buffet where 20 people combined to make an unusual 'big' buffet dinner.. We students of semester 6, June 2010, has made a record where only 20 people with their strength, effort, experience and precious sweats in cooking and also decorating the dining area to be presented to 170 guests.. Sounds creepy huh? Well, we made it and had set a height for our juniors to measure..

The theme 'Just For Tonight' tells everyone about the last night we will be in college as everyone is leaving for industrial training very soon.. 'JFT' does not follow most of the H&T themes as we want our guests to be comfortable wearing what they desire and to chill out at the dining hall.. 'JFT' is a Island Buffet Style where food item are placed in their specific stalls..

Besides, I would like to thank all my previous lecturers who had put much effort and believe in us, the KDU Facilities department especially Mr. Ng, Chef Syam our Programme Leader who put his final touches on the night and everyone who attend the buffet dinner, Chef Darren and Chef Chuah who had guide us on the budget for a better-end buffet and also Susu, Yi Min, Chang Loong, Ben and also Khai who helped us as the waiter for the night.. Thank y'all!

Guests! Movement towards the foods islands was easy.. No space limitation thanks to our Service leader, Huan P'ng..

Then he kept all the tables again and arranged them the next day..

Plate of excellence to everyone who had taught us!

Finally,a group photo of 20 chefs with our lecturers..

Well, our hardwork had paid off when the event is a success.. Besides serving our guests, we had a mini graduation ceremony to thank everyone from the chefs to purchasers.. Our sponsors and also those who came and support!

Besides the sweet memories, we have to deal with some accusiation for blocking the entrance of the marketing department as we placed the table at 11am.. Well, we had to as the kitchen only available at 3pm and we do not have enough man power to move so many things after office hours plus cooking.. Even the Facility department approved our requests.. Finally we only had the green light to place the tables and stall at 5.30 pm which is considered late at the foyer front.. Setting up is not an easy task as there are only 2 people handling everything.. Luckily susu and gang came early and helped up for the touch ups with Chef Syam..

The buffet is a total success where my lecturer himself is satisfied with our performance and yep, we hope to score good grades for this :D

2010-04-10T00:29:00.006+08:00

[AtapCafe]

AtapCafe was formed after the cafe name achieved the most votes from my coursemates, semester 6 Diploma in Chef Training students.. AtapCafe now replace the old 'Le Cafe' of KDU college for Tuesday Cafe Operation only! We, students are given the chance to come up with different cafe names as this is our last and final Project! AtapCafe is located in the KDU Foyer and operates ONLY on Tuesday - 10.30am to 2.30pm serving breakfast & lunch! So people do stop by AtapCafe and look for the promotions available!

Students are given RM400.00 to prepare 8 kinds of foods and 4 types of beverages for the 4 hours cafe operation.. Therefore, food items are limited..
Besides, AtapCafe is sharing the Foyer with 2 other classes so before you purchase any food items, remember to check out the MENU first!

Our Logo @ AtapCafe style!

This LOGO is fully HANDMADE and the budget for it is only RM50.00.. Some of the materials are donated by our members! We put our heart, sweat and blood in producing it.. There are more to come such as the menu stand, numberings and etc etc of a cafe..

The amplifier we borrowed from Renaldo :)

Our Lecturer! Chef Yuz..

Customers on the first day.. There are lots of them.. :) Do come back people! We are cooking again this coming Tuesday! Every alternate Tuesday, our group will cook while the other group will serve..

And my old friends who came all the way from INTI! Thanks Kelvin for dragging them all here! Appreciate it!

I was in-charged for the Spaghetti Carbonara that day.. Now I learnt a new way in preparing Carbonara as the first day menu and recipes are from our chef himself.. Even without bacon, the carbonara is awesome!

Then some of the people who are at the outside 'a la minute' kitchen! Daniel the Chef of the Day, Bala our boss, SK & Kukumaru Fong for burger station and finally Cobra and his GF the cash machine..

The First Day Dish.. Only 4 of them, heh.. The coming Tuesdays, we will have 8 dish and 4 types of beverages.. There are also promotions and each week's menu is different!

First and Second AtapCafe operation success! Everyone is happy including our chef.. Cheers people!

For this coming Tuesday menu and price, I will blog about it in the next post! Bala and I are in-charge and we hope to give you all our best shot and hope to see you guys at AtapCafe!

Sushi King - Gurney Plaza New Wing

2010-04-09T23:36:00.004+08:00

Hello People! Sorry for the lack of updates! I got nothing to write nowadays! Waiting for Obala to update some atapcafe photos too.. So chill people!
Since it was Friday and I got no transport to go anywhere.. I joined the two, 'one cannot stop laughing and another one cannot stop talking' for dinner in GP.. They love Sushi King and made me love Sushi King too.. Okay Sushi King is better now compared to the previous one at the old wing.. Diners have privacy to indulge their foods as there is no longer any glass wall surrounding the restaurant.. The kaiten belt and the table setting is well organized too.. Sorry for the bad photos :(

Sushi King lovers!

Sushi shooter got shot!

Octopus.. I don't know the name of it but it was good.. Eat with the julienned cucumber :)

Golden Egg + the octopus.. One bite! Feels heavenly..

Amount of Golden Egg we had.. Slurps!

then we had set dinner.. My set costs RM19.90.. Salmon Steak comes with soup, rice, cawan mushi and Yakult! Salmon set on the hot plate is fugly but the taste is awesome!

Piri Piri Chicken.. The sidelines are the same as the salmon ones..

Sakana Black Pepper.. Dory fingers and sidelines..

After a full and tasty dinner, we went for a walk and someone bought her 4th pair of heels this month..

Anyway, Sushi King servers sushi that suits our Chinese tastebuds..
Slurps! ~

Queen Elizabbeth 2 (QE2) - Bianco's 20th Birthday

2010-03-29T22:44:00.015+08:00

First time dining in QE2! It was an awesome place to celebrate our celebrity hotelier birthday, the Bianco.. Why QE2? Because our hero has been to the greatest place in Penang including the Ferringhi Grill in Rasa Sayang Resort! So, let's go somewhere special! I made some research about QE2 by reading other bloggers posts! Then planned out the party with Obala and Obanseng.. Well, for us, each and everyone of us enjoyed the place very well and the food is great plus the portion is BIG! We wanted to try their famous Pizza La Vostra but were actually bloated already.. Hehe..

So, this is their LOGO!

Themed table settings.. Very awesome.. Check out the interior including their wash room! Blogger PMS-ing I can't upload all the photos! Grr!

One day.. LOL!

So, we had white wine.. Birthday Boy treat us! The beverage price is quite expansive.. I only mention their beverage ok! Birthday boy uses his celebrity style to pour the wine!

Tadaa.. Heard of it? Dirt Cheap outside.. Expansive here :)

7th GT(N) '07.. Seriously our boss is missing loh.. He is somewhere in Dublin, Ireland! Another pussy and ah heng missing too..

And the Gay night starts! Who will be the first to reach China? One is going to World Summit another one I don't know where..

Everyone so happy..

And they present him something from the 'sex shop'

Made a wish.. Or a few? Hahaha!
Okay let's go on with the foods..

Mushroom soup..

Cilantro of Mangrove Jack - Idamameh/ Edamameh beans available.. I love those beans! :p

Very creamy Linguini Carbonara! Look at the amount of bacon there! They went crazy and ordered 3 of this.. LOL!

Juicy Salt Baked Chicken - Kukumaru had this.. Western style salted chicken :)

Some spaghetti like bolognese..

My roast Chicken with Mushroom Herb sauce.. I love the melt in the mouth chicken but not the sauce.. Balsamic reduction goes well will with the vegetables!

Creamy Chicken Tagliatelle - Double mustard emulsion sauce goes very well with the chicken roulade with mushroom forcemeat.. Forcemeat is chicken meat blend with cream and sieve through the siever.. Very very smooth meat..

Grilled Chicken Skewers - Have you seen something like this?

Tiramisu -Amount of Kahlua soaking the sponge cake is just nice.. When you bite into the mascarpone cheese and then tastes the coffee taste its like Totally WOW!

The Birthday Cake we got from Ritz! Ritz gives the best chocolate/ cocoa product compared to most cake shops.. Chocolate cheese cake I present you..

Finally, we chosed this plate of art for the birthday boy.. The QUEEN'S TRIO! Comes with a piece of beef tenderloin, salmon steak and tiger prawn!
Beef is awesome, salmon too cooked, tiger prawn is wowzers!
Haha..

And this is the Bianco's Birthday Report..
For more photos, kindly have a look in Bala's facebook album :)
Had a great time dining with my old and new friends!

2010-03-22T11:41:00.010+08:00

Back to Lost World of Tambun again! After playing hard at the slides, we cooled down and then went to the last place in the map.. The Petting zoo! We were lucky as the place is newly opened to visitors and the workers there is awesomly friendly.. Hehe.. Entrance fee is included in the RM30 entrance fee!!

By Sunway! Lost World of Tambun is the sister theme park of Sunway Lagoon.. That is what I heard.. Hehe..

Naughty Parrot! Peck me man!

Another Day in Paradise

2010-03-21T22:50:00.006+08:00

Hell yeah! We reached Lost World of Tambun after a very full lunch at Ong Kee..
Lost World is about 15-20 minutes drive from Ipoh town..
Thanks to Obalala, we finally reached our destination.. It was a hot and humid day where everyone cannot wait to jump into the pool..

Go Go Go.. People taking fire need assistance! Wow.. Seriously the car park is huge.. We parked far far away at the other end cause it is cooler there.. 6 packet of salted chicken in the car!

Cheng Cheng Cheng.. The main door!

We cam-whored with the meow meow statue..

And we found an interesting map of LWT! Awesome place to have a map.. No body can get lost here man..

Rich man bala queueing for our tickets.. The price of one adult is RM30.oo while a child is RM24.oo!

Our tickets and a packet of fish/bird food.. Can fee some birds in the petting zoo later on..

Or you can feed the fishes in the pond..

Then we went to Kapua cave.. LOL! Still cannot swim yet!

And played some outdoor games..

And yes finally we went swimming in the wavy pool! There are 5 kinds of water slides available but we did not get any pictures from there.. Wet mah.. Believe me the slides are awesome! Each and everyone is unique.. Remember to bring a partner cause a float must have 2 passanger!

And then the prize giving ceremony.. Obala won a very cute bear!

The we went into the children pool for this.. Awesome man!

Cobra and his other half? amfibian family :)

Getting enough of swimming? We went over to fuel up our body.. Hah.. Damn this place is like beach in the middle of the lime hill!

Bubble milk for RM3..

The man-made beach! Still the same only that the water is not salty and there are no longkang fishes around the shore..

Cool right?

And then we walked to the back part of LWT towards the Petting Zoo!

And we came across this ape/ orang utan/ gorilla friend and climb on him..

So, this is some of the things we did in Tambun.. Read the next post for petting zoo and the Tiger!

Hahaha!
Paradise man this place.. Go have fun with your family, friends and your other half.. Guaranteed satisfied cause this place is maintained very well!

KUTA BALI (Hawker Centre)

2010-03-17T23:31:00.003+08:00

Kuta Bali is an awesome hawker centre which is located beside Permata Swimming pool.. Nowadays, we often go to that part of Penang Island so we must try out the special hawker treats there.. The food court is filled with numerous hawkers stalls I think there are 30 -40 or maybe 50 of them.. there are many many choices to pick from Asian, fusion, super fusion and local delights.. These are some of the few plates we ordered..

Ah Belle ordered the honeydew sago.. I totally hate it while she enjoys eating it.. Hah.. Everyone got different taste buds huh! To me, they should use real honeydew puree instead of some really fu*ked up chemical taste honewdey essence?

There are alot more dessert choices to pick from..

Seafood Popia.. Awesome!

Chicken Rice..

Pai Kut Ong Fried rice..

My pork Koay Teow Soup!

Finally our grilled Red Emperor Snapper..

We were saving up our stomach spaces for free supper that is why you can't see many many plates on our table.. heih heih..

Steam steam face.. We were actually eating in dark cause the hut we picked has no lamp.. Next time check it first ok?

Eating with style.. Heh!

Nom Nom Nom..

Kuta Bali - Beside Permata swimming pool - Paya Terubong - Penang - Malaysia!

Do go and experience such wonderful hawker centre in Penang!

Badminton at Permata Court!

2010-03-17T00:11:00.005+08:00

My friends and I had a Badminton game in Permata Court in Farlim/ Paya Terubong.. It was my first time there.. Seriously.. But as a Penangite, finally I went there already after 20 years!
It was a Badminton hall which offers 12 Badminton courts.. Arranged 4x3, wooden court, neat netting and has a stainless steel high level chair in each court..
We went in the morning and the court rent is RM4/ hour.. Very Cheap.. There is a mini mart, with a Japanese Racquet brand, Masuka that sell drinks and badminton stuffs!

This is my sifu and also the Thursday Badminton game organizer.. Charles plays here frequently..

Very Blur image of Obala and Gareth.. I think I got huge problems with cameras..

Mozi and YY the late comers! Our executive chef, YY here is an ex-school player..

Reese..

YY.. Ada gaya, ada mutu..

This is mua.. The most cacat-ed player in the whole of Permata History.. Hahaha!
Ops, kukumalu fong photo is missing.. Guess he 'tuang' alot till the cameraman cannot catch his shadow =p
Heih Heih..

Badminton again this Thursday!
I heard more are coming to join us.. So, get ready ure racquet and head on to Permata this Thursday, 10am.. Cheers!

Will be going to Tambun Lost World tmrw! Till then..

Anyway.. See everyone tomorrow! Have a good night sleep!

Styrofoam Carving

2010-03-08T23:59:00.008+08:00

The last class CAD subject offered is the Styrofoam Carving class.. Glad we are not taught by the same lecturer as the Butter Class.. Those who read my blog would know why.. So, Chef Syam took over the Styrofoam class and we are given the freedom to choose our design.. 4 classes were given only cause of short semester so some of us took the project home while others did theirs in the storeroom..

Our Group B products: Scorpion, Taj Mahal, F1, Lobster Sculpture and Sydney Opera House..

Small, medium and large lobsters.. Roger, Fedrick and Jeffrey..

This is how styrofoam look like before it is coloured.. Duh? Thinner can be used to creat effects on the styrofoam.. It is corrosive!

Putting up some of the parts.. Supervised by Shiro Pi.. We worked till 4am to complete the colours.. We fix everything in the class room the next day..

Class room(107) the chef's so-called art room? Some people are so stupid they wipe the butter under the desks or chairs.. Morons! If any possibilities you came across this class room, do be-ca-re-ful!

From top!

KDU rock can be seen here..

And here..

Took pic with the chinese cooking chef..

Group B, Sem 5 Jokers..

Fancy photo..

Finally, our art is appreciated by many chefs and was brought to The Star Edu Fair! Hahaha!!
Good Life after much effort we put in.. Please give us an A!

Quote of the year: Good Life or Bad Life also must Stay Alive!

Stick Bistro

2010-03-07T22:29:00.005+08:00

Ever heard of Stick Bistro?

Stick is located at Queensbay! Just outside QB..

Peace.. Arrow head..

The lady in red introduced us to Stick.. Lembu was waiting for us cause we were late, sorry!

The juice.. Cheap but small.. We had a flaming lamborghini but I don't have any pic of it.. They took video! LOL! Stick has the cheapest Flaming Lambo.. Could not remember how much but I think it was only RM25 provided with the cooling milk..

Reese..

Obala..

Something about stick.. We were rushing to leave and did not take much photo of this place.. Might go again one day if we are at QB.. Cheers!

Chef Francis Fusion Western Food

2010-03-04T21:27:00.005+08:00

Francis Western Food finally moved to Poly Cafe in Pulau Tikus! There are some parking spaces available.. When they are at the opposite coffee shop, really tarak parking! Francis Western Food only open in the evening till 10pm and closed on Wednesday.. We went over to try, the food is good, food served 1 hr 45 minutes after order and guess who are the customers?
Oldies.. I think we were the youngest customer there.. If you are able to wait.. You can enjoy Chef Francis personally prepared fusion recipe!

Ah Belle's Salmon.. Looks juicy! Really yummy!

Ah Gu's Pork Ribs.. Totally off.. The meat is hard not juicy.. It stuck between your teeth i really love the Smoky Jack's one! Melts in the mouth!! But the sauce is quite good! And the price is ofcourse cheaper!

Baked Chicken.. Baked stuffs are recommended here!

Baked Chicken again!

Braised Lamb! Written there 100% tender but I think 60% only.. if want 100% sure must use chops already.. Bwahahaha!

The sidelines is good.. Refreshing Coleslaw with canned pineapple.. Potato salad that have red onion and parsley.. And not forgetting the baguette herb bread which is so soft!

So if you are willing to wait.. I don't think the price is a problem to you..
Chef Francis' son is my senior in college :)

Panas Panas Days..

2010-03-03T16:38:00.005+08:00

I was craving for Ice Kacang after influenced by SAW and suddenly it became my favourite dessert. FTW right? The next one im going to hike up Penang Hill and hope the stalls are still operating..

So i influenced Obala and made him drive us all to New World Park! Do you know before NWP was built, we often had Ice Kacang at the Swatow Lane hawker.. That was the time when Ice Kacang is superb! Now, the taste run thousand km away alreay after moving into NWP.. Sigh!

Cendol! I like cendol noodle that is not frozen.. Some people don't soak the noodle thus it is frozen.. When you bite it, you'll get brain freezr.. Haha.. Penang Road one is better recommended.. But the taste also vary d.. Grrr!

Xocolatl Class ( Chocolate class )

2010-02-04T11:35:00.002+08:00

Hello again these products are from my CAD 2 class.. It is a chocolate class taught by Chef Syam the man! The group members involved is Gareth & Bala the chocolate sculpturer! Jam & Mozi the paraline maker and finally Reese & myself the chocolate tempering man..

Our presentation.. It is a small portion only so we do it on a plate instead of a big piece of mirror..

Side ways.. The cost of this plate should be around RM 30 since we are using pure dark chocolate.. Normally chocolate is devided into 3 types which is pure dark (40 degrees), compound(41 degrees) and white chocolate (42 degrees)..

The butterfly again.. Little girls might love this.. I think she loves it too! LOL..

3 layered where 3 types od chocolate are available.. By Gareth..

The squirrel.. Don't turn out good but it is accepable.. Haha.. I love the moo moo coloured chocolate..

So.. Chocolate class end, styrofoam class starting! Love it!

Nature Boy mission accomplished!

2010-02-01T23:37:00.004+08:00

I need to get ready for 2010 hardcore mission which is the Industrial Training which will be in August.. I am not going oversea or outstations.. Mostly it is in Penang Island or Langkawi Island only..

So I was planning to get a watch for training purposes.. Besides, I am now 20 year old and are supposed to be an adults.. Grown-ups! Damn.. Got to leave the childish side of the force..
Time passes really fast and in a blink of my eyes.. So a plan is what I need before I do and reflections after what I did.. Everyone needs a plan in life.. Yup a plan.. Mine is a humble plan.. What about yours?

Enough of reality.. So, I drove my kawan-kawans to QB for shopping.. I want to get a watch and they are supposed to give constructive comments about the watch.. End up, QB parking was jam packed and we went over to Akuarium Pulau Pinang in Batu Maung.. Went back to QB after visiting the fishes, turtles and crocodile!

About the Aquarium, Check the photos below which I got from OBala!

The arch way.. I was emo-ing there..

Nahh.. Was looking at the koi fish! There are also giant fish in the next pool.. So damn huge! O.O'

And we found the baby crocodile.. Crocs mouth are supposed to be sharp right? So this dude is a croc! Let's name him Lacoste!

Two fat fat Garoupa.. They were there since years ago.. I think when I was in Form 4, I saw them already..

Turtles! They Bite but they like me!

See..

After a tiring stroll outside, we went into the hall and chilled with the fat fat fishes!
The internal part of the aquarium is closed so we are not able to enter.. BUT if you want to see the sea creatures,

Entrance fee is:
RM5 for Adults
RM3 for Children
RM1.50/ pax for school tour..
(closed on wednesday)

After a few hours in the Akuarium Pulau Pinang, we went back to QB but found nothing good there..

Finally get our arse to GP and I bought this Casio Edifice and CK tee.. Cheap Cheap only.. Now that my missions are completed, I would like to thank them all who joined me..
Peace!

* Sharing keeps the friendship go round *

Annabelle Place

2010-01-31T03:43:00.006+08:00

Annabelle Place is so well known I don't need to intro about them anymore.. But for those who still don't know.. It is Located @ Permai 32, Tanjung Bunga.. A few shops from Blue Reef and Home Style.. This place is famous for their English Classic tea and desserts.. It is a British style kinda restaurant.. However, the time we went there it was already about 7pm+ and are rushing to go to another place, we had dinner only.. Food is good.. Even the vinaigrette I had in the main was tasty when combined with the crispy coral and iceberg lettuce..
Thumbs up to Annabelle!

Iced peach tea and Iced lemon tea served in the dwarf boots glass.. Cute..

Fettuchini Carbonara: We had the turkey and beef.. Creamy but a little bit dry..

Hokkaido Fried Rice: Sweet sumo fried rice with the sweet japanese oil I could not remember the name.. We ordered 2.. It would be better if the chef put some julienned Japanese seaweed..
=p

Ocean Treasure.. One of their signature.. Very awesome stuff where the crab bits is mixed with the cream of mushroom and then baked in a crab shell..

Cinnamon and Basil baked chicken with fettuchini.. Tastes superb! Suit the Asian tastebuds..

My plate..

Card and recipt.. Heh.. Personally, I love this place.. Do try out Annabelle.. And thanks to their waitress, Maybelle, for the introduction of Annabelle Place..
For more info, The Star has an article about Annabelle too!

Annabelle is closed on Monday..

Wedding Cake Decorations..

2010-01-27T20:16:00.005+08:00

Hello again.. Sorry for the lack of updates.. I was busy studying Marketing subject for Mid Term which I think I will fail teruk teruk..
Ok enough of Marketing here is what we did for CAD 2.. CAD 2 means Culinary Arts and Design part 2..

Butterfly and Rose.. Made from Royal Icing and Pastillage.. We don't use the gum Paste because it contains too much ingredients and pastillage is our good friend!

Ops.. Forget to intro my group members.. Daniel on the left, myself, the wedding cake, Gareth and Reese.. The H&T chef got interested with our cake and asked us to keep it in the pastry kitchen.. So if anyone interested to view it.. It is in the pastry Kitchen, first work table only or can see throught the tempered window..

That's my chef, Chef Zaihan.. He is good in yoyo too :)

Mozi and I.. Take photo with celebrity chef very syok 1 you know? Next time when the video is on, u can see Mozi naked cooking in the beach.. XP

A bouquet of flowers at the bottom tier..

This is the whole cake with backdrop we found in KDU..

Aha yeah.. People, newbie chefs are mostly screwed by the masters.. So do smile all the time to keep up the spirit of culinary! Yahoo!
And remember to change your toot-up attitude.. You might get screwed if you think you know it all in this industry..

Humble.. Humble..

Taman Kheng Tian Pasar Malam

2010-01-22T22:57:00.005+08:00

Helly guys! Sorry for the lack of updates!! Yada Yada, short semester is a stress pile and nobody is a fan of short semester!
Friday, we had class in the morning and then stayed back for the wedding cake decoration till about 6pm.. After it is done, I will post it up okay.. Damn next week, week after and bla bla bla we are having midterm, midterm, presentations and alot of diploma junks!

Nevermind that, come I intro you all to the Friday Pasar Malam which is located near Sunshine Jelutong.. We followed OBala the leader of the Group B damn nolife chefs and had dinner in the pasar malam..

First of all, we stopped in the stall selling Crepes! There are many choices of crepes from jam to fruits and savoury ones.. Do have a try.. I had the chicken ham and seaweed one.. Yum Yum.. But service is really slow lahh..

Crepe chef..

Then we stopped at a LOK LOK stall.. The most expansive stick is RM1.00 only.. So eat as many as you can..

Spotted this superbly raised up chelsea bun..

Another Lok Lok vendor.. Tom Yam soup one!

Ayam Percik in action..

I had one of this for RM5.00.. Not bad lah..

And this super jam packed Yong Tau Foo stall.. First time I saw YTF stall so full till the owner scoop the fish balls non stop.. One hour later is still the same.. One day I must go try also.. Wana join me?

Look at Jam.. He wanted to look for trouble I think.. Hahaha..

The pasar malam is devided into food area and the non-food sections.. The stalls are all at the side of the road surrounding the apartments.. Do watch out for Krazy motorists!

Had a fun day after a tiring kitchen life..

What do you want from me?

2010-01-20T00:50:00.002+08:00

I think I am making some progress here.. After 2 weeks of goyang kaki and not thinking of what to do, tmrw and next week will be the submission date for our pastillage cake.. Damn, short semester what also short..

I don't know how or why but when it comes to pastry, sometimes I can think positive and make the stuffs possible.. Maybe I should just drown into the pastry line.. Grrr..
Do you know that I wanted to pursue my Degree too.. BUT it is very impossible :(

This is made from Royal Icing.. Not Rojak icing ya! Well, it is like one of the most professional skills in cake decorating because every piece need to be symmetrical.. Using a 'paper' piping bag, steadily pipe the icing on the OHP film.. Well hope that it hardens and does not crack.. Damn first time doing I found out that I have steady hands.. There are some butterflies in the kitchen too..

Steady arms thanks to the gym.. BUT I think I need to build more brains than muscles.. Lack of studies makes me stupid.. Damn memorising 5 chapters in Marketing and Supervision each is a headache..

Anyway, we will be doing our 1st of 3 assignments tomorrow after class.. Damn class is from 9am to 6pm.. Yeah need some ENERGY in the night to make more progress!!

No Progress..

2010-01-16T16:58:00.005+08:00

2010 is supposed to be the best year lahh.. BUT until now, it has bring nothing good to myself.. FML FML!! Stress sekali.. Maybe I should think it over and put some confidence in myself..

Do you know that we are supposed to submit the choice of the hotels we are going to by the end of this semester.. End of sem is on February! I would like to go KL for training but there are alot of problems that stops me from going down south.. So, I shall pick Rasa Sayang and Golden Sands lah.. Since it is in Batu F and I love the place..

Damn This Semester is short and there are 3 assignments (Comparison of 2 establishment, Find Hotels Hierarchy Chart & explain the chef's role and Some 'skills' teaching stuffs) then comes 3 project which is The Pastillage Cake, Chocolate 3D and also the styrofoam (Pls not that apek again!) Started non of the assignments above and hope to do it by next week..

I think I need to do things on my own already since ego of chefs has won over our emotions.. I think people will eat us up instead of help lah.. ZZZZZ! Hate the environment as I am not throughly an 'evil' leader or subordinates.. I love togetherness..

Fucking hate myself lahh.. I need to go to the gym and lose some mutherfucking weights.. BUT, nowadays go gym and lift weights.. LOL! Im like so braindead now and what is taught cannot be remembered.. Maybe I don't like the subjects or the lecturers? XD And do you know that if we get total average marks for all semester at 70 or above, we can get another special certificate form IMI! Anyone reading this, faster go fight for the special certificate..

Life sucks when your Birthday is on the EVE of CNY.. Everything is expansive from the 7 course meal(lou yee sang included), QE2 and cruise.. I think the club is full too.. Dudes, want to hit down the club since we had not go to such place since we entered college, promise our gf and ex's?

FTW! It is even worse when you're broke.. 2010 tarak progress here.. Damn I need to update my blog too..

Happy Harvest Day to the Hindus!

2010-01-14T00:34:00.003+08:00

Ferry Ride - Midnight

2010-01-03T20:20:00.004+08:00

First time I took ferry in the midnight with my friends! We went there quite early actually.. Then don't know why, on the Friday night, there is only 1 ferry operating.. FTW right? So we waited for the queue for about 1 hour+ before getting our ride..
Obala fetch us all to join him for the crazy joyride.. Haha!
While waiting, we went out and talk to some strangers.. Everyone has to wait patiently for the midnight ride..

Came out from the window.. Everyone waited till mad already..

I am trying to be decent..

While going through the ramp.. *Dung Dung Dung*

Went upstairs and took some photo..

Vehicle deck at the bottom..

Predator at Juru, Autocity.. Cool scrap metal sculpture!

Another one..

It is this huge..

So, after ronda ronda at chai leng park, we went to Autocity for supper @ KFC.. Obala turned sleepy and Gareth drove us home ;)

One random night.. Very fun indeed..

New Year Eve

2010-01-02T15:13:00.003+08:00

Everyone despite yound or old, gathered at the alfresco area in Gurney Plaza for the countdown to celebrate 2010! We chosed Winter Warmers as there are less crazy people and it is filled with family with kids! I think I am old already too..
Not really much familiar faces I saw during eve in GP.. Probably UPR and Beaches are the new destinations for countdown-er! LOL..

Crowd with maxis green balloons..

Myself.

Tea and snacks.. First round.. We sat there at about 10pm till 12..

This were the people who count down with me.. Leader and his clan X)
Jam went over to Sega ady and we could not locate him.. LOL!

Let go of the helium filled balloons! 2010 baybeh!

Then the fireworks on GP rooftop! *Bing Bang Boom* and we walked up the stairs to lvl 6 and get the car to go Batu Ferringhi.. Not really jam but I only met Obala, sue and her friend.. Mr. Long went into sunset so we did not go in cause of the blocking..

Chilled outside HRH and was amazed by the dark knight light.. Yeee Haa!!
Later on, we went down to my hs there and met the female cow! Chit chatted till 5am in the morning..
Happy New Year 2010 folks!

''Dream BIG, Stay HUMBLE''

SUMMER BEACH

2010-01-01T14:16:00.003+08:00

Hey Hey Hey.. If anyone of you who drop by Batu Ferringhi, you might want to stop at Summer Beach (bistro like) after a tiring walk in the night market.. This is a very chilled place with peaceful atmosphere which have 3 part of seats; in the house, tiled area and the beach area.. So if you are wearing shoe, don't go down to the beach lorr.. The place is good for family reunion and for little kids too!
Anyway, ample parking space are available at RM3..
SUMMER BEACH is opposite HAPPY MART and just right beside TARBUSH.

The BAR.. Simple one with orange lightings..

Laminated menu, be surprised with the price of their food and beverages!

Reese and Andrew.. Cam photo.. Cacat, but better than nothing.. Andrew came with 20+ people together with his girlfriend.. They get the owner's attention and took some group photos! LOL..

China King! Jam Siau

Had Tiger beer, some nugget, french fries, milk shakes and stuffs later on.. We sat there about 3-4 hours.. Really relaxing..
Tiger is on offer RM43 - 6 bottles..
Sisha is also available at RM 30..

Good news! There is a spa in Summer Beach.. Fish spa and crab spa.. FTW? Crab spa? Do I hear wrong? Someone go justify please I heard a lady screaming lahh..
Then only we go get our legs molested by crabs! Preferbly tiny ones :p

2010 RESOLUTIONS

2010-01-01T13:40:00.004+08:00

My 2010 resolutions and wishes are obviously longer than 2009 because of the ''2nd'' stripe in my age.. I am now a 20 years old dude who has done nothing to my own life.. Future for chefs in Malaysia is a Hardcore pain.. Plan now to avoid disappointment easier than die later right?
It is seriously time to start planning for 10 years to come ain't it?

Okay, lets start with my wishes first (ain't a gay business here ok?)

- I wish to own a running shoe for gym purposes
- A watch for industial use later in this year
- My friends to be at my side all the time (or when I need them)
- Industrial Placement in a fine 5 STAR HOTEL!

Here are my resolutions:

- Lose more weight; my previous resolution worked!
- Get a kitchen job.. It didn't work but I'll try again..
- Brush up my PR skills; I wanted to be anti-social last year but not this year..
- Used Thasi's quote but this year I'll stay humble while dreaming big from schizzow..
- Excel in my Culinary Skills; Got my first Gold medal for Pastry Competition in College.. First thing to boost my confidence?
- Would like to keep in touch with my high school friends..
- To be a better Gentlemen.. Yeps, all men must have this quality and I have to learn my manners..

That's about it.. The above is already too hard for me to handle; I shall stop here and be merry on the first day of 2010.. People who are just starting their college life, value your high school friends and take good care of yourself..
BEWARE of scams and scums! :)

X'mas Eve we don't fight RELA :)

2009-12-29T13:25:00.005+08:00

Spent my Christmas Eve with my bunch of friends I used to hang out with.. It was packed like sardines in Sunset Bistro and luckily we got a sit right before the countdown!
I love the night where all party people do the usual thing which is party and chill at the beach.. Who don't love this, even Singkapoh kiasus have cafe del mar.. It was a fantastic night to me till a stupid photographer with his speedlight or the flash was pointed up and he snap the pic of an ugly toot-toot-toot girl.. Lame sekali! Eye pain caused by the flash, eyesore caused by the 'model.' But anyway, we faster ignored him, his stupidity and continue partying with the crowd..

People wear bunny and reindeer horn we wear ribbon! Gay Gay also must go..

house wine anyone?

Monster, tukau and face problem lala..

Bottle caps in a wine glass..

Macam Heineken fever.. Now everyone cna open their own bottles with the mouth!

Sugar and Honey.. I still don't know who is which!

Obala and mua.. My shirt is getting bigger means I am shrinking! OMFG!

Ini macam clubbing.. They made a dance floor in the middle of Sunset, put up some nylon huts and red coloured cloth to make it fancy and you are all invited to dance!

Drink my friends.. Drink till you drop.. Cause the night is all yours!

Yam Seng, Yam Seng!

Then we took a group photo with all the friends we know before saying Good Bye, Sayonara and Au Revoir.. The night continue with party people and we followed Obala to sent Sue and the rest home.. What a pleasant party night!

Btw, I will try Summer Beach soon and update about the new particular chilling spot in BF..

Blue Reef

2009-12-27T20:19:00.007+08:00

It has been a long time since I wanted to try their famous fish and chips.. I love all kinds of fish one okay but never fish any edible ones.. So, we all had this dinner like everyone during Christmas eve but it is actually not a celebrations for us.. Just to makan makan and reunion only lahh.. Some couldn't make it due to some reasons.. bla bla bla..

On tht day itself, they only serve 2 a la carte dish plus X'mas menu.. So all of us had Beer Battered Garoupa Fish & Chips and Aglio olio..

I can see the cute restaurant logo on the roof.. We sat outside as the inner tables are all booked..

Aglio olio.. Looks mouth watering right.. This is the vegetarian one..

Very very big Latte and Mocha.. The white one is tar tar sauce..

Our Beer Battered Fish and Chips.. It is not as good as told actually.. The fish is actually tasteless.. But, the portion is generous.. The next time I wont have beer battered anymore.. The batter makes my stomach uneasy.. I think they have put some baking powder in the batter.. LOL!

Reese and gaylord..

Obala and myself..

Gareth and Sue.. Very hard to take photo of her one.. Then I have to shoot at this angle..

Crystal and Sher pig..

Honey and Sugar.. Everyday fight one.. You decide who is which..

After dinner, we sat down and made Obala pledge.. The environment outside is chilling okay.. My neighbourhood, Tg Bunga is a peaceful place..

Bala repeating what out gaylord says.. We are actually trying to tell him not to worry on everything that has to do with relationships and friendships.. We understand him as a great friend but he is actually too soft like a snow bunny and his heart always give people some chance and then made himself 'down'.. So, we tried to make him understand and move on with life cause we all wanted to marry awesome females by the age of 30.. Do you know chef's life is awful in the kitchen? Well people out there if you have a partner who is a chef, don't ask him/her to cook at home anymore ;)

Yeah, gave him a present from FCUK;' NO FCUKIN' WORRIES'
Thanks for everything bro.. We wish you a Merry Christmas..

One night in KL before 2009 ends..

2009-12-26T01:52:00.005+08:00

This was a fcukin' last minute planned trip where end up with 3 jokers headed down to KL and the areas there.. The meeting was in Pos Jelutong and again only the 3 of us turned up..
Don't know what happened to the rest but I sure don't give a fcukin' damn..
Guess I am obsessed with the FCUK apparel which has a printed slogan ' NO FCUKIN' WORRIES' oh just forgive me ;)

As usual, Reese will be the driver as he had told and begged our mom for the car since god knows when.. Well, we are not rich kids who can just hijack our parents car and go wherever we want ok! She allowed us eventhough it was a last minute plan.. Number 3 who followed us is the well-known GAYLORD in our gym..

As usual, my human head GPS will bring us down to Mutiara Damansara so we use the LDP to IKEA/IKANO for lunch.. Meat Balls, how can I forget the love man?

Lunch over, we went over to The Gardens and shop just like the girls.. Went over to Mid Valley, did nothing there so we get lost from Gardens.. We did not went back to Sunway as one of my friend PPK me so I PPK another friend as we need to shoot back to the LDP.. Did not stop at 1U too..

Went straight into KL following the 'Kuala Lumpur' sign.. And wtf the board disappeared halfway.. Luckily we followed Jln Pudu and ended up in Times Square.. From there we asked for Impiana KLCC but they increase their price about 50% during peak season and we ended up in an inn.. It is somewhere near beach club and Aloha so we are actually staying in a...

Checked-in, bathed and walked to Pavilion and then Time Square.. It rained and we went back to the inn with a taxi.. Taximan was cool..

Slept at 3 after watching Animal Planet because the club downstairs is seriously blasting the music gila-gila even we, on the 7th floor could hear the thai songs..

Big bro at Pavilion.. Damn hardcore place with hardcore crowd!

This is me with my new AX.. Cheers KL party people! I might want to have my industrial placement in Mandarin Oriental next year if Rasa or GS is failed.. KL is totally hectic but Awesome!

Andrew, we shall go together next time *winks!*

Merry Christmas - Star Christmas!

2009-12-25T15:10:00.003+08:00

2009 is the year of blessings and it is coming to an end.. The arrival of Christmas means holidays are going to end.. BUT, we will take this day to enjoy what we have and be merry at all precious moments!

Joyeux Noël!

Winter Solstice

2009-12-24T03:09:00.003+08:00

The Winter Solstice occurs exactly when the earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26'. It is also called the midwinter and the longer time for nights occured and then shorter days for certain places..

For Chinese and Malaysian Chinese, we celebrate this as a festival and gathering of family members..
Most of the families in Malaysia would make the glutinious rice balls one night before cooking them by boiling..
This is the moment where family members gathered at the heart of the house and get together..
Some even believe that this is the Chinese Christmas..
The cooked 'tang yuen' will then be offered to gods during prayers..

Anyhow, my family followed the traditions and we made 'tang yuen' too.. We managed to make 3 colours only thus to lack of colours..
To make this; simply knead the glutinious rice flour with castor sugar and water.. Leave the dough to rest and dry up a little before rolling into balls.. Some people even make shapes of dogs, chicken, gold and stuffs some fillings..
For us, we just make it round, the traditional method..

The over nighted balls are then boilled with plain water and pandan leaves.. Drain them well and then place them into sugar syrup! Then you are done..
If for ginger soup, you might want to use:
1. Brown Sugar
2. Gula Melaka
3. Dried Longan
4. Ginger
5. Sago

So.. Winter solstice will be on 21st or 22nd of each year.. Remember yeah..

12/12 BBQ @ Jeff's

2009-12-24T02:07:00.004+08:00

Hello Everyone!
There is no use I apologize for my delayed posts right! So here is what we had on the 12/12/2009.. Jeffrey organized the one and only 12/12 BBQ party for his friends and family.. It was a great night to be at his place with scrumptious fine BBQ foods..

And what's for BBQ?

Yes, of course.. you need the pit.. The Charcoal Griller! Look at the amber.. And guess what? Everyone is a great chef when handling BBQ.. Trust me.. Even Matthew can BBQ his own marshmellow and then duck in the chocolate fondue..

Then we came across this f*cking awesome 'siew bak' or roasted pork which is tasty and with crispy skin.. Can battle Wai Kee's..

Fish pie from butter fish!

Beef Tenderloin Kebabs! Tender Tender Tender..

Lamb Chops.. Ahh drools..

XXL Prawn King..
And not forgetting he has desserts, chicken, cocktail sausages, Char Koay Teow, beers and etc.. I love the brownies..

Some of us chilling outside.. The girls snap this one.. There's a party of girls singing and dancing upstairs.. They got their videos uploaded in Youtube too.. I better not display any links here ;)

The 3 very own Joker don't know what they are doing..

Nehh, there's more.. Actually we took up both hands and legs to prove our innocence.. But Daryl was holding the what do we call that? Err.. Water sprayer tinggi? We are so busted..

Yep! 12/12.. Wonder what will happen to me in 12/12/12.. Hope for the best.. Thanks for reading..

North to South

2009-12-18T01:33:00.004+08:00

It was a Tuesday night, when everything and everyone has settled down, my friend asked if i would like to join them for a chillout session by the beach in sunset.. Chillout, finally! I have not been into this kind of activities since the beginning of holiday! There are only 5 of us because it was a last minute random thing.. Even the customers that particular night are less than usual.. Maybe because of the weather.. The songs played is awful and the kitchen was closed.. BUT I enjoyed sitting by the beach.. The whole day also, it doesn't mattter..

Next thing I am going to do is to enjoy sunset at sunset.. Yeah, sounds good isn't it? So if you want to feel the last sunset of 2009, do hook me up!
Bet my friends are building their first fat fat snowman over in the UK and Dublin already.. The snow thick enuff d?

The girl will always get her cocktail but idk why she asked for mojito.. End up we mix some beer and I finished up the whole glass.. Yeah! Don't waste money..

This is my cocktail dog, Shiro Pi.. Cocktail is the new word I am going to use for mixed-breed dog.. Yep, he is my holiday entertainment besides Facebook.. Anyway, they banned the use of FB in certain companies and colleges too so better not get busted!

Then, we went for supper in Jelutong.. The Pos Jelutong Burger was 'tutup' so we went over to the chinese hawker.. I often eat the economy bihun and mee from the aunt as she open her stalls till late mid night.. The oyster omelette there is awesome and cheap too!

the above plate costs RM4.oo; bihun, mee, luncheon meat, taiwanese sausage and an egg...

I went out ok.. I am not emo..

2009-12-09T01:28:00.005+08:00

I went out with Obala, Ogareth and Oduck the other day for some discussions about an unfortunate trip that has to be cancelled due to some 'face problem' we had to encounter..
Firstly, I went down to MPH to look for our world map as my bedroom wall is empty and my friends are scattered all around the world.. Apala, I am still stucked in Malaysia.. Anyway, Penang is actually very awesome.. Okay about the world map.. I did not buy it actually.. Found out the price is too expansive maybe I will save up and get a globe instead..

It was already 1pm and my friends did not call me so I overjoyed looking at some books in the cookery shelves.. Later on, I reloaded my dead mobile phone and started messaging them.. They were actually waiting for me in Mega Q.. BUT, I was earlier than Oduck..

So, we had lunch in Nandos and was supposed to order the Family Set.. Our lawyer calculated the price and it was not worth buying so we had our invidual a la carte dish.. I took the Nandos and Fitness First promo set.. Do you know what happened?

The kind waitress was unsure about the promo.. Guess I was the first customer who showed them the blue membership card.. What? Got listen to Hitz. Fm bo?
Then she started walking down the restaurant and (i don't know what happened) she came up with a smile and say 'ya kami ada promotion ini'

Yes, I had this 1/4 chicken with 2 fixed sidelines (grilled vegetables inclusive of zucchini, egg plant, mushroom and capsicum with some buttered rice)
And not forgotten, a cup of bottomless Coke Light..
RM14.50++

It actually means they only give u free drinks loh if you are a FF member.. Not Bad what..

Wah, gym members also got privilages in eating chicken..
And yes I saw this banner, Celebriti Fitness has some collaborations with Cold Storage.. Don't pray pray.. Maybe the phrase 'you are what you eat' is really true and was proven million years ago..

So after makan, we met some friends in Watson or was it Guardian as our lawyer wanted to buy some clay.. I showed him the magic clay I hope he likes it cause it costs about RM22..

Finally, we watched 'Jump', went to toilet, and then off to Island Plaza for another brand new journey..

Saturday, December 05, 2009

2009-12-06T20:33:00.002+08:00

Hey there ;)
This is one of the nothing-to-do Saturday in the month of December..
1 week past already since holiday started.. Im still stuck here doing nothing.. Maybe when we grow older we have shorter 'want-to-do-list' right?
I have no plans up my head but just to attend all RPM classes in the gym..
This Saturday is a little bit different, I did not go home straight away after gym but went for a haircut in the indian barber.. My head is like a ball after going bald lahh..
Next, my friend called and he wanted to follow my brother and I to New World Park as we promised my coursemate to see her performances.. She's a drummer ;)
The even is hosted by 'The Realm Church' and the SPCA..

First of all, we had dinner in 'All Right' western food cafe.. The beef is Good.. The owner is my friend, wei ren's uncle.. And, the stall is located in Yellow House or the Famous Hainan Lor Mee which is at Pulau Tikus or Mein Kwok father's kopitiam for friends who know them..

Minute Beef.. Tender and has the Asian taste where there are sauteed onion accompaning the beef.. Yum Yum..

Later on, we went over to NWP for the 'Christmas Presentation' by The Realm members.. We were early so we played with the dogs from SPCA..

The Bulldog! Lol..

French Bulldog..

And there is a wood carving shop, OHL newly opened in NWP! The owner Mr. OHL had won so many prizes, even in the Salon Gastronomique for Butter and Ice carving.. Kudos!
He should replace our lecturer I tell you..

Sir Francis Light statue.. Hand carved.. Peace!

And finally the event, I forgot to take the pictures as I was drowned by their superb performances, carols and band..
Heh.. What a day..

Later on, we went over to QB to check out fitness concept as yeang said obala couldn't make it to sunset.. Jeff messaged and said he was at Hammer's so we pay him and his family a visit.. Hehe..

What a day.. Lolz.. My next outing should be the Pantai Jerjak trip.. Signing off..

Food Production 2 Exam

2009-11-28T23:06:00.005+08:00

We were given 2 hours to complete 2 plate per 4 course set.. The ingredients given is black box so we are supposed to be prepared if not precious time will be lost during the first few minutes of planning..
We were given beef and sea bass.. Our group planned to take up sea bass as none of us were great cook of beef.. If I tell you I am a professional chef student and I never cook beef and lamb last semester don't laugh at me okay? Cause Group B people are less fortunate I don't want to mention it anymore..

So we used up the 2 hours and then produce our stuffs..

Appetizer by YY.. Chicken fingers with fresh vegetables and herb vinaigrette..

Soup by myself.. Cream of Cauliflower and corn served with chicken dumpling..

Pan fried Sea Bass with cheezy mash pumpkin and blanched vegetables served with tomato pronto and coriander salsa.. By Reese.. Won the Best Entree..

Finally, our dessert.. Egg custard tart with sponge cake and dragon cubes..
By our one and only Soon Keat aka Edison Chen.. Heih Heih..

Bakery Exam Done!

2009-11-28T22:37:00.003+08:00

Finally, all the exams are over.. Bakery is the last one which took place on last Thursday..
So, 2009 freedom belongs to us! Well,we have less kitchen/ practical class next year till cooking in the 'le cafe' so stay tuned if you guys want to eat what we cook in KDU..
So here are my bakery product, the PITA BREAD with FILLINGS..
We only exam on 1 product as we don't have much time as this Semester ends is so ******* pack with almost everything..

Then on exam date, we even have to start exam late as our juniors were not done with their products.. When they send their products for grading, we have to clean their stations before we can start our own.. See, pack semester to everyone..

This is my presentation.. Simple, Storeroom was locked so use items which are found in the kitchen only.. Hehe.. I even polished the mixer okay?

The bread.. Can be done easily but got to keep the steps properely or the pita wont rise and creat a pocket..

I made some stuffings with the left-over chicken cubes and vegetables which are not used in Penang Bridge Marathon catering..
Egg mayo, chicken fingers, some lettuces, carrot and onion rings..

The final garnished plate..

Tadaa.. Pita Bread in 2 hours..

Something FOOD you cannot EAT..

2009-11-20T01:13:00.004+08:00

Have you ever heard of 'bread display' or 'bread showpiece' ? Maybe not heard but saw before lahh.. Those are hard bread made from 'salt dough' which u can see them on bakery shops on their display shelves.. For example the one in Cold Storage.. The bread is actually so hard it is not possible for you to eat but admire and sample of specialty breads all around the world..

As a Professional Chef student of KDU college, I would like to share some of our products lah.. We are actually the first group in this semester to finish up the bread showpiece.. So this is one of the topic in the subject Culinary Arts and Design.. Futhermore, bread display will determine our marks in the subject.. Our lecturer screwed us all in Butter Sculpture..

12 hours were given for us to complete the project.. We are allowed to plan out display and later on approved by our chefs..

4 of us who got no experience in handling the dough.. As first timer we did good job already lor.. Really pray hard to get good grades if not the CAD subject comfirm kena screwed..

The 4 and the master ;)
YY(The silver medalist, hot cooking), Gareth our lawyer, Me as the engineer and Reese as the man behind the scene..

Stick stick the most fragile part.. Klef Treble or Treble klef? Someone google for me pls..

Lawyer on the move.. Can stick okay, don't pray pray..

Our ANCHOR! Strong lehh..

There you go..

Ship back.. Got windows okay?

The view from the back is better looking when captured with camera phone..

Tadaa.. HMS DESSERT aka THONG SUI inverted of my name ;)

Chefs also creative okay.. Not only on the plate..

Now pray hard for me to go through next week..
Sat : Penang Bridge Run Cooking under Chef Darren
Mon: KMD last check

BUT the hard work does pay its price.. I got the sauce recipe from my friend who is also a SHTCA 'silver medalist' in hot cooking catagory.. Yeah he love this tag!
Sauce is prepared with [saute chopped shallot(2), garlic(1), mix herbs, fresh orange peel/ orange chutney, carrot cubes], water, HP sauce, LP sauce, Maggi chili sauce and finally red onion.. The arrangement is the steps to follow..

Simple isn't it.. I got no starch product so I replace it with hard boiled eggs.. Protein!

Don't really went to a Halloween Party.. But we had a drive to Autocity, Juru to have dinner and look for the meanest car after a tiring day in Youth Park..
We volunteered by preparing a controlled buffet serving 6-7 dishes for the public in conjunction of the International Chefs Day and World Children's Day 2009..
It was tiring day and as usual that AR$3hole chef screwed some of the chef students.. Chairman of CAM pg to be exact.. If student were wrong, at least u tell them lah instead of screwing them
=.='' Then scream to the whole world their lecturer did not teach them well.. sigh..

So, we cabut from Youth Park and went back home to prepare for the halloween trip down to Juru.. Gareth drove Obala's car and we followed him..

BTW, 10 hours of volunteery work sure tired lah, Who don't?

Ahh.. Ugly pumpkin for halloween.. Don't worry lah.. This dude here was made into soup already last Wednesday..

Botak at Nandos Autocity..

We all had 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines.. Btw, the peri fries are soggy.. See lah.. All not straight 1..
After dinner, we went for a walk at the exhibition area.. Nothing really special.. Maybe they will only exhibit the super cars on Nov 1st..

1st SHTCA week by KDU PG Campus

2009-10-24T11:43:00.006+08:00

Well, SHTCA means School of Hospitality Tourism and Culinary Arts.. And our school/department is located in the whole of the first floor in our college.
2009 is the first year our school organize the event.. The theme for the special event is 'Celebrating Unity Through Diversity.' The event started 2 weeks ago and ended yerterday, 23/10/2009.
Some of the competitions envolved are Essay writing, Poster, Singing? Mr and Miss SHTCA, Cooking competiton, Pastry Competition and etc..

I took part in the Pastry competition because the entry for the 'black box' cooking competition was fulled. Only my lucky leader got into the competition holding competitor ticket #15.. Heh!
4 of us from my group joined the pastry competition which was held on the 20th as there are still many places left..

1 hour of collecting ingredients, baking and garnishing is certainly not enough if we chosed to make complicated products.. End up, I made a blueberry gateau which my FP 2 chef said I could not win because it is too simple. My groupmate, Charles Ooi made swissroll.. Finally, we both won medals ;]
Oh well.. It all depends on the look, taste and garnish right?

Shaking hands with our Principal, Dr. Chong..
Gold medal uh! First gold medal for first competition..

Group Photo.. My FP2 chef Darren, Esther (3rd runner-up), Charles Ooi (Bronze), Dr. Chong, Myself, Ben (silver), Some director of Education and our Head of Department, Mr. Prakash..

This is the hot cooking, black box category.. My leader, Yan You got silver medal.. He is so good he is the only junior in the competition who won almost all the seniors but 1.. Heh.. Cheers ;)

Group Photo again..

Then we took a photo with our group members.. The most well known 'paling bising tapi boleh kerja group,' gold, silver and bronze also got.. Tapau!

Heh.. But sorry lah if u want to see our product pictures.. Sent to judge table cannt take photo ady.. peace [v]
Ahh.. This is the college competition, wonder if we can do really good for the real outside competitions.. Things will be real different..

Finally, thanks to Jeff who sponsored me and all our group members who supported us.. Merci!

Anyone who wants to join us can simply do so.. 7.30am at Youth Park..
After hiking, we will be having breakfast at any kopitiam near that area..

For the first morning hike, I was late! Snooze my mobile till the battery flat.. Then I followed obala ( the photo provider ) who was waiting outside my house for 30 minutes i think.. Reached the bottom of the hill at about 8.30am and we waited for captain Mozi..

Some of them 'ppk-ed' us so left the 5 of us only.. There are many teenager groups went hiking in the morning too.. I saw my friends with their girls.. LOL!

Everybody practicing 'Healthy Line' concept huh? So, my hiking partners are:

COBRA! We have all sorts of nicks mah.. He was named COBRA after smoking his first sisha!

Obala.. The emo-kid..

Gareth.. He was actually pointing at me and vice versa but I crop this pic because I looked like Gorilla.. And No, I am not..

This is me.. Hairless and Shoeless.. cause broke already..

Captain Mozi..

If you want to know, I would like to share:
- morning hike is cool and refreshing
- morning hike has less monkeys
- morning hike have cool people who boil tea using super mini stove and kettle
- morning hike you can see sunrise
- morning hike you can see me ;]

Anyway.. This Friday, which is tomorrow, our plan is cancelled as we are having some volunteery work in college.. Help out during Fontherra Pastry challenge..
Next Friday, we shall sweat and burn all unwanted calories..

Unripe Papaya

2009-10-17T12:26:00.003+08:00

If you had a BAD day, it is probably you received an unripe papaya.. Do you know how horrible is the unripe papaya? First of all it looks green, contain lots of sap that can cause blindness and they make you itchy..
For fruit carving, an unripe papaya is hard like a wood.. So, carving an unripe papaya is really like carving on a piece of wood..

If the BAD day continues, it is because of the time given.. Lecturer was late for 1 hours due to his transport problem.. BUT, we were not given another 1 hour extra before we hand up our work.. Just because previous class people can finish them in 2 hours? Hello, we are carving unripe papaya~
I pity some of my coursemates who is in trouble trying to finish their carving..

Later on, he brought in our juniors to see our piece of artwork.. 'Pai seh lohh'

My partner.. Sharing the centre piece.. We name it 'Summer Garden' due to the carved flowers and the garden-like decorations..

My papaya..

our work..

With the swans.. Mirror is like the pond water.. Muhaha!

Reese and his pai pan posts..
Anyway, it was a satisfying day for me..

Anyone wanna buy fruit carving? LOLz~~

Duckie's Open House

2009-10-17T01:29:00.006+08:00

Hello world!
I am back after a few weeks with no new posts..
Very sorry lah.. This semester too busy and got lah alot of 'duno-what-should-I-do' stuffs occured..

So, for the delayed posts #1.. It was about Jeff's new house ;)
They picked a date which is on 10/10/2009 and it is a Saturday..
Chun date and day for an open house right?

Foods were prepared by his mommy and us, the KDU chef 4 student..

CKT YY @ high pressure stove..

One night before party! Look at Bala measuring the melted butter.. We made 4 cheese cake and 1 tiramisu..

And the real day itself, we had CKT! Penang famous hawker dish aka the 'Char Koay Teow.'
I was actually playing around only lah.. The real CKT man is Daniel and Yan You..

The above is Reese and Jeff.. They are playing cards actually.. BUT, duno why both face faced different ways.. Camera shy kut?

And then the Satay.. 4kg also finished.. Lembu told me it was not sweet enough so I forced him to eat with the sauce.. 1kg of peanut poured into the sauce till the oil disappeared.. LOL!

The CKT man.. Daniel and his frying skill.. Action Kitchen Chef..

Carved papaya, tiramisu and chocolate sauced eclairs..

The food supply.. Tandoori & mushroom sausage, tom yam bihun, shepherd pie, lamb shank pie, pasta salad, chicken satay, curry chicken and vegetables..

Despite the rain, their guests still enjoy the night..
We had booze upstairs and Lembu turned into a 'dark cow' because his face turned black instead of red.. He is too HELLthy!

AND..

Finally, welcome to TG BG and have fun staying in hillside! Hehehe..

[BTW, photos are stolen from Chan Lilian, Maybelle Loh and YingLai Chow via Facebook]

Tiram miss you..

2009-10-05T01:04:00.002+08:00

Second experiment on the tiramisu cake.. I got this recipe from a senior and actually it is the 'classic tiramisu' recipe.. Hmm.. Classic tiramisu is not as hard as the modern ones.. They are watery like the Bavarious Cream from Germany.. Will harden only if you throw the cream into freezer and they are usually served in a glass because of the soft texture.. The cake one uses confectioners sugar whipped with mascarpone cheese so that it remains hard.. Don't need the egg yolk!

How sad I have mistaken it.. But then the taste is awesome lah.. Haha..

One slice..

The main ingredient for all tiramisu.. Mascarpone cheese.. It is hard to find this product in the market.. Mostly can get from frozen food suppliers only..

After chilling and freezing.. I manage to get the shape.. Not bad lah..

As usual, sprinkle unsweetened coco powder on the cake top..

Then garnish with shaved dark chocolate..
The next time I make.. I will publish the recipe lah..

Good night.. Time to take a long sleep, preparing for the long day in college tomorrow..

YEAR END 2009 HAIRSTYLE!

2009-10-02T13:19:00.004+08:00

Ever dream of a new hairstyle?
Does your hair influenced what you want or what you are doing?
Have you lose hairs?
What colour are your hair?
Are you emo?
Do you have hair?

Haha!
These are some surveys..

-My friend told me that he wanted to be bald because he had some problems in his relationships..
-Another friend says that he want to cut bald too.. BUT his mommy don't allow..
-Another friend made it before.. So there is an 'OK' from him..
-Few friends told me 'Im bald the whole of my schooling life.' I aint doing it again..
-For me, I just want to try a new thing..

Ohh.. This is me..

To go bald is the 'LATEST YEAR END 2009 HAIRSTYLE,' GO BALD, DO GOOD! for yourself..

Sometimes, changes are good..
Shall stop drinking unless it is an occation..
Stop smoking and sisha unless it is a party..
Stop mid-night snacks and foods.. It is unhealthy and fattening..
Totally stop clubbing and disco to save midnight oil..
Sleep and wake up early to have a prosperous life..
Exercise regulary to avoid all kinds of disease..

This is the bald me.. Well, popular blogger got paid for being bald.. Im not popular so, I only pray that everyone are concious of your own health..
Wake up and shave ure head bald like me ;)

HAMMER HEAD

2009-09-29T23:05:00.005+08:00

It was Joo Teik's Birthday.. My coursemate lah.. We celebrated his birthday one night early because he is busy on his birthday night.. Don't need to ask why lorr..
10 of us went over to Hammer Bay!
I learnt a new hokkien word, ' chiak chubi' which means eat for fun..

Reach there about 9.30 and chilled till midnight.. We eat and eat, smoke and smoke and play till we forgot what is the time already..
Because we have to wake up early to attend the 'teaching surver' lab to comment on our lecturers.. I Holiday also must go college make surver.. Sigh right?

The Birthday boy.. Obala and Gareth drove to Tesco to get this cheese cake..

Played 'in between' to finish up the cheese cake.. Finally birthday boy had to finish his cake.. We pakat bet on him loh..

Some of them.. Obala, Cobra, Fong and Reese..

And this dish looks interesting.. Char La La..

We had special shisha too.. The tobacco and flavour is placed in a pineapple..

They went crazy and bought another one..
That is why we chilled till forget the time..

Happy Birthday Dude!

My Happy Saturday

2009-09-29T22:41:00.004+08:00

It was the last Saturday of the one week holiday.. Simple day, I made myself free the whole day.. Was supposed to attend a school event but I could not make it.. Only went there in the night..

Watched 'Perfect Getaway.' The show rocked.. But there were some parts that make me blur.. Might go watch again.. HAHA!

Later, we went over to Esplanade to chill.. We watched the the 'pocket bike race' and then walked to the hawker centre for fruits.. First time eating fruits there.. First hand experience but the fruits are expansive!

Look for BUAH POTONG in the chinese part of the hawker centre.. The one near the beach..
Cheers!
This coming Saturday is a heavy Saturday.. I have stuffs to do..

HAMMER BAY

2009-09-26T01:26:00.002+08:00

My Happy Friday started with too much rice flour in the inventory basket or what ever you call it.. My mom wants me to make 'kuih lompang' for tea as she bought a packed of shaved coconut in the morning..

Started making the kuih.. Wait for it to set, cool it and then cut and coat with the shaved coconut.. Done with the kuih and it was already 4.30pm..
So I delivered it to Jeff with my bicycle.. We waited for Obala to fetch us from Jeff's new house to meet Wai Kit in the airport.. On the way, we picked Yeang and Gareth in gurney..

Shoot down to Penang International Airport and to look for our big brother! Found him and his family then we made the 'usual thing' lah.. Talk/laughs/and all.. Then his mommy came.. She had a fractured arm.. Take care aunt! Get well soon..

After our big brother left, we went over to The Snake Temple to meet Daniel.. He was supposed to take us to some 'Ikan Bakar' place for dinner..
Went over to Hammer Bay which is located in a junction between Queensbay and the Pulau Jerjak Jetty..

First time in the HAMMER BAY.. Owned by our local malays.. This place has many white lamps hanging in the open air.. Like the 'sotong' light where fisherman place the lights to catch squid!

There are many kinds of seat u can choose.. The open-air, under the Sydney/hawaian atap roof, some wooden huts that face the sea and other VIP VIP seat with red cloth on the table..
We chosed the open-air one..

For appetizers, we had their signature dish.. Fried squid..

Then we had fish, chicken dish, kangkong and egg omelet for main course.. Satay for desserts.. Since my chef says that my satay tastes sweet one.. Same lah here..
Bahh.. The 'ikan bakar' is quite expansive if you want to compare with Goodall cafe.. But the 'ikan bakar' is really BAKAR one.. BBQ with charcoal..

Drinks are cheap.. Ais limau is only RM1.oo.. Got Asam!

Peace.. I mean no harm.. Taken by Obala..

Then, we had this 'Cola' flavoured sisha for only RM10.oo.. The sisha is better compared to Sunset BUT the environment is quite funny lah...

Im looking forward for my Happy Saturday..
Nights..

Fish & Chips

2009-09-21T00:40:00.004+08:00

My friend tempted me with fish.. Fish = healthy protein and it also helps ure brain cells to develope!? No?
We were supposed to dine in a fish and chips restaurant but the plan had never come true..
Then the tham chiakness in me forced my lazy butt to be kicked and I went shopping for ingredients..

Bought a kilo of butterfish as the main ingredients.. Butterfish is creamy and has the best texture if you want a good fish and chips.. It is not too expansive tho..

For the batter, I used the 'beer battered' concept.. Found the recipe in the KDU library not long ago.. Worked out to be fine.. Hehe.. Wonder what will happen if I replace the beer with liquor..

The for the chips.. Older potatoes are recommended.. Soak them in water so that the starch can ooze out and you will have a more crispy fries.. Science says that!

My Beer Battered Fish and Chips turned out to be like that!

Tadaa.. Rich and creamy flesh.. Yum Yum..

Argh.. Still want the real deal..
Faster make up ure mind and we go to the real shop for fish..

Raya without water..

2009-09-21T00:25:00.002+08:00

Raya is a special day for all muslims but me.. Well im not celebrating it..
But on Raya day, 10am to about 5pm, the is no water! No water is my business..
No water = cannot bathe, drink, cook and swim!

I saw the PBAPP people chilling around with their bulldozer and was not working on the pipes.. Don't know lah what they are doing.. No leakage also.. Claim triple pay kut?

Breakfast.. Eat lemang without rendang.. The Hawker people also complaining already..

Kuih Lemang..

At night, after movie, was stucked in Gurney Plaza ticket machine.. All the machines in level 5 and 6 cannot accept note anymore.. Eat too full d..
Then Gurney Drive was so darn alive I saw some crazy people running around..

So, how was your raya?

Butter Sculpture

2009-09-20T12:01:00.005+08:00

Memendangkan hari ini ialah Hari Raya Pertama, saya akan tulis 'post' ini dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Terlebih dahulu, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua orang Melayu dan Muslim yang membaca blog ini.

'Butter Sculpture' merupakan salah satu topik yang tardapat dalam mata pelajaran 'Culinari Arts & Design.' Topik yang unik ini diajar oleh seorang lecturer yang mempunyai Master dalam sculpture. Beliau juga merupakan seorang penulis buku. Kelas ini memberi kami peluang untuk menunjukkan kreativiti kami dalam membentuk sculpture yang diperbuat daripada butter.

Memandangkan kami hanya mempunyai 4 jam dalam seminggu untuk membuat 'sculpture' ini, kami terpaksa bertungkus-lumus untuk menyiapkannya. Setelah menyiapkan 'sculpture' tersebut, kami terpaksa memberikan bentangan tentang 'sculpture' kami. Pada masa itu, kami merasa cara pengadilan adalah tidak sah. Kerana yang cantik tidak diberi markah manakala yang hodoh dan lari dari tajuk mendapat markah yang tinggi. Saya merupakan salah satu daripada mangsa tersebut.

Apalah lagi yang boleh buat. Nasi sudah menjadi bubur.
Beginilah, tengoklah sendiri apa yang saya telah lakukan.
Terima Kasih..

Stabilizers yang merupakan tulang untuk tahan berat butter yang digunakan.

Tulang keseluruhan.

Selepas wayar dililit bagi menunjukkan bentuk seekor rusa.

Setelah surat khabar lama dimasukkan dalam celah celah wayar.. Ini bagi meringankan berat rusa.

Anak rusa.

Pada masa yang sama, lecturer tersebut memberi tekanan untuk meletakkan butter atas rusa saya walaupun saya masih tidak menyiapkan amaturnya.. Ini adalah kerana dia hendak pergi minum kopi dan bentuk rusa saya telah keluar.. Beliau hendak tunjuk kepada kelas.. Bodoh atau gila sekali?

Butter telah siap dilapis atas amatur rusa.

Telah digilapkan dengan tangan, mata & hidung telah bentuk dan pengteksturan telah dilakulan.

Abang yang berkongsi papan dengan saya..

Semua orang dalam kelas saya.. Semua kawan dalam kelas adalah berkebolehan dan peramah.. Kami terpaksa memgambil gambar dengan lecturer nyanyuk sebagai kenangan. Itu pun idea beliau..

Kalau beliau terbaca blog saya, kawan saya ada yang lebih teruk lagi.. Nak tengok?

HAHAHA..

2009-09-15T00:49:00.003+08:00

Baked Chicken Satay..

Marinated mainly with tumeric powder, tumeric root, cumin, fennel seed and sugar..
Remember to soak or boil the satay sticks to avoid burnt during cooking..

The sauce.. Peanut oil, chili paste, tamaring pulp, coconut milk, lemon grass, sugar and groundnuts..

Two in One Birthday

2009-09-12T16:53:00.005+08:00

Friday was our first Food Production 2 class.. And on that day itself, it was one of the week's leader birthday, Daniel..
And the day itself, it was one of our customer's birthday too..
He is our friend, Mou Liang from Group A.
The two of them are born on the same day, duh?

Before I touch on the celebrations, My lecturer gave a very GOOD comment on our group during the food production and service! Heih Heih.. Then our #1 old man suddenly helped me to serve during service as my partner ppk-ed.. What a miracle.. Keep up the spirit chefs~

Then, Gareth and my 'Nyonya cuisine' might be selected for a function one of this coming weeks.. Hopefully kena lah! This is better than kena lottery because I don't need to cook on the last week before this subject ended.. That time sure got tons of work and exams one..

So, the two handsome dudes had their first celebrations by us in the Bon appetit Restaurant during class.. We sang a birthday song and off the lights.. Got cake and candle somemore!
Hopefully our customers didn't freaked out lah!

During the night, we all went up to Batu Ferringhi for some chilling purposes.. One week of hardwork and 1 night of chill ain't that bad right?

Nahh.. The two Birthday boys.. Daniel on the left and Mou Liang, right..

The deco.. I like the flaming palm tree.. If is wasn't the lights, I will go emo there ady.. I wasn't on a good mood lah.. Don't ask why.. Lazy to explain..

The the krazy birthday boy ordered 3 bucket of beers.. Because he wanted to stop drinking after turning 19..
Darn funny lah..

Lembu who came up late cause taking a bus, had a burger or 2? Nahh.. The burger made them turn this..

This is Steven Khaw aka KDU Edison Chen.. Everyone keep bullying him lah.. Hahaha..
In the afternoon, they made 19 glass of large smoothies for our group members and 1 tiny one for him..

And this is Ah Fong from Sungai Petani.. To be honest, he is the most 'chi ko' dude in my class.. I think he knows 90% of the girls in KDU SHTCA department.. Are you in his list?

Then, the birthday boy ordered two 8 inch super cheezy pizza to be shared.. And he asked us, 'lu lang mua ee liao' which means you guys satisfied/happy enough? Siao liao..

Birthday Pizza, first ever created in Penang, Malaysia..

Cheers! And then Lembu dropped his pizza into his beer..
Fu*k, he is a real joker.. 'The world is just awesome!'

Pump Pump.. Pump till whole night also cannot finish.. Eh what will you get if you suck too much? Someone google and tell me please..

I wonder if his girlfriend allow him to suck on this!?

Darn a good night to spend with them.. Later on, we had Tom Yam and then balik.. Obala dropped me home..
Thanks man!!

2009-09-10T22:39:00.004+08:00

Friendship that lasts forever :)

2009-09-04T00:14:00.003+08:00

As we grew up, we have more work, bigger responsibilities, more stressful education, hardcore work and less friends.. Don't tell me all this is not happening to all grown ups?

Since everyone is busy and busy with our stuffs, we rarely go out for a drink unless it is an important thing! Oh yes.. My good friend who is in the same class with me since 'Standard 1' to 'Form 4' is leaving to Ireland for his education purposes.. The Bos is going to be in Uni!

And before he left, im so touched he called some of us and treat us a good mamak dinner @ Ali..
Talking about Ali, I've not been there since I started college in KDU.. Was chilling the every night with my pals when I took A levels in Disted.. Release stress konon..

So, we chit-chattered till late at night.. The place have been updated too.. Ali is going green! He plant some palma trees around his little stall.. In sure Audee gave him those..

The host.. Heih Heih..
Everyone kept teasing him no matter what topic we are in..

Now this dude here is Yeang.. He is non-paid trainee in Rasa Sayang Hotel & Resort..
Industrial Training is killing him.. But he is still alive lah..

Obala and Jeff, the 2 most well known students in SHTCA..

Gareth and his Roti Bom..
This is one of Ali's signature dish..

And finally, our handsome Jan.. As usual lah he is late..
Engineer in training..

Woah, see lah. Im not bullshitting.. Everyone is fighting for their future.. So busy.. Not much time to catch up.. But yesterday dinner was a good one!

People, don't forget me okay!

Orange & Black not forgetting Silver

2009-08-29T11:47:00.004+08:00

I've took down this old bicycle parts, then sand it, then spray paint it and it is still not done..
I don't have the parts to replace it you see..

Should give it to the pro Mr. Lay Sheang!
Merdeka day is nearing too.. 2 more days..
And everyday it is raining cats and dogs..

How to send to the pro?

Anyway, there are some progress I did to the bike..

Sketch-sketch to get some inspiration..
Learned from Chip Foose TV show!
Anyway, we are forced to learn Illustrator Cs3 maybe next time I can try using that.. Hehe..

To wrap the parts that are not supposed to be painted..
Then paint a base coat layer so that the paint and finishing can stay..

Spray paint the colour you wanted.. I chosed orange..

Spray paint, polished, washed, oiled and fixed back..

The front part..

The bicycle looks like this before I put my hands on it..

Now, it is just simple and shiny.. Lighter too.. No more rusts..

Anyway, I still got long way to go..

Need to fix these back:
-Front and back brake, the wires and the arm thinggi..
-Handlebar grip
-The front basket
-Front and back tyres and their tubes
-Right side pedal
-The new bicycle stand
-Malaysia flag!

And I threw these away:
-Chain sheild
-Lock

And I want these on it later on:
-Dynamo & Lights
-Audio
-Reflectors
-Stickers which says ''The orange Hawk''

HAHAHA...

Ondeh-ondeh made easy..

2009-08-26T15:19:00.004+08:00

Don't ask me why I did this.. I don't want to make it actually.. It is for my 'marks' sake..
This cooking semester, we have to plan and creat our own menu.. I was given the title 'Nyonya Cuisine' and Oh Shiet! I really know nothing about Nyonya..
Then I browse through the net and found this cute little green thing called ondeh-ondeh ( Coconut Poppers)..
Can make it for my desserts.. Btw, are they originated from Nyonya?

So simple.. Just need to knead the glutinious rice flour (250g) with tapioca flour (50g), water (200ml), few drops of apple green colouring and pandan flavouring..
You might want to knead the flour without the colouring first then only add them when the dough is ready..

Then, mix some brown sugar with pounded 'gula Melaka.'
Place on the dough and then grab it tight first before rolling it into a ball..
Be gentle or the dough will break..
*Make sure the dough is very thin so that the melted sugar will ooze out when you bite on it*

When the ball is ready, throw them into the boiling water.. It is cooked when the balls float on the surface..
*After reaching boiling point, lower down the heat so that the ball can be cooked slowly to ensure all brown sugar and 'gula Melaka' melted!*

When it is cooked, drain it then roll on the grated coconut..
Then you're done..

Who want to come 'makan' when my team and I cook?
