luv for Swak Laksa

Last Saturday i had this cravings for Sarawak Laksa. It actually started last week, then as the days passed my intense cravings grew together. When i told hubby about my cravings for swak laksa, he had this idea of cooking swak laksa on sunday noon. So we went out to buy the laksa paste on Saturday nite, and make sure we had all the ingredients we needed in the restaurant downstairs... ;)) .... beansprouts, eggs, chicken, prawns, parsley leaves, coconut milk and of cuz beehoon!

Sunday afternoon after we came back from church, hubby was busy going off to fix some leaking pipes in one of the room. So i tot maybe we wont be able to haf laksa then, and i went off to nap... dreaming about laksa in my mind and i feel even more hungry whenever i think of laksa. Around 2pm, hubby came back and said he'll go downstairs then to prepare laksa for me. ;))

At 3pm, TA-DA.... yummy fragrant Swak laksa filled with lots of warmth and love for me... delivered to my room together wid a glass of ice lemon tea and another glass of ice tea for hubby. Wow..... it looks so tempting, immediately satisfied my cravings!

2nd Anniversary

On this nite, 10th March 2009, we celebrated our wedding 2nd anniversary at Yoshimi Japanese Restaurant. As usual, i'll say bringing Jayden out was a really tiring thing, and recently i rather eat in than out. I understand hubby's good intention of wanting to bring us out for a nice dinner as a celebration... =)) he came back around 515pm and asked if i'll be going for yoga classes. I didn't think i wanna go class tonite, so he suggested we had japanese food at Yoshimi.

It was our first time there, and we heard about how fresh the sushi there is. So off we went to Warisan Square around 730pm. The japanese food there was tasty. We ordered a set of the bento box meal... beef with teriyaki sauce and enoki mushroom, which was served with the usual miso soup and fruits. The other orders was avocado + mayo sushi, and another fresh tuna & salmon maki. The best of our order tat nite was the special soft shell crab sushi... with the crispy deepfried soft shell crab wrapped up in nori sheets and rice paper and totally no rice balls at all! The waitress suggested this dish to us, and we decided to give it a try... although it was quite costly, RM22 per dish. Thank God it tastes superb... else it'll be a waste of our money.

The bento box was purposely ordered for ahDen... cox there'll be some rice and soup for him. His appetite was really good tat nite, after his diarrhea for about a week. His first taste of the japanese rice made him wanted even more. =)) I thought he would spit out the mouthful of rice i fed him, but halfway while spitting the rice out, he tasted how different the rice was and immediately shoved it back into his mouth again using the back of his hand! He ate alot tat nite, about half a bowl of rice. Tis boy can be quite picky on his food at certain time however it was a relieve for both hubby & I for ahDen really hadn't been eating well lately bcox of his diarrhea.

Although the food there was quite expensive, but the freshness of the sushi pays off. The raw tuna and salmon tasted really well, i still tot hubby might feel sick from the raw fish but he said it was tasty tat nite.... so tat proves it's freshness. ;)) The tuna salmon maki was wrapped up uniquely, and i took my time figuring out how they actually make those maki and i hoped when i haf an opportunity in future, i can try it out and see if i got it correctly!

We had a nice but really quick meal. Not much time to enjoy our food now like previously. Little Jayden was oledi busy roaming the place, starting wid the inside of the restaurant, then eventually venturing to the walkway outside. Sigh... both hubby & I took turn to look after the naughty little 'monkey'. After dinner we had a stroll at Warisan Square and later 'ta pau' hubby's favourite 1901 hotdog for supper tat nite. He owest loves 1901 so much, so as a treat for him tat nite, i didn't stopped him from buying it! Hehehe.... so i can oso eat later when the 'monkey' is in bed! Wahahaaa....

gifts from japan

2 weeks ago tis Piang had a funny personal message in her msn. She wrote "monkey no see, monkey no hear, monkey no talk".... ???? Wat is piang yee up to tis time??? Why suddenly so many monkeys, and yet no see, no hear & no talk?!?!

When i asked her about this, she said i will understand when i see it. Peishan was back from japan for a holiday during tat time.... hmm... she's still in Msia now though, having a long break. I'm pretty sure she must be enjoying herself very, very much; missing her family and oso the food here.

Mum came to KK last Wed nite, and she brought along wid her peishan's souvenirs for me. The souvenirs really went a long way.... from Japan to KK (during peishan's transit in KK but i didn't meet up wid her for she only had an hour before her flight back to Kuching). Then the souvenirs went to peishan's aunt's house in Kuching and piang went to collect it, which she delivered to my mum after tat. Then finally from Kuching the souvenirs flew again to KK, and came to Casuarina Hotel! ;))

Okie... now i understand wat is "monkey no see, monkey no hear & monkey no talk". So cute... each of the monkey can be unhooked and u can haf a selection of 1monkey on the chain, or 2monkeys on the chain, or 3monkeys on the chain or no monkey at all! ;))

eh... shud be monkey no see, monkey no talk, monkey no hear!
The funny part was the lollipop bath ball. Okie... when my sis first told me about the souvenirs piang sent over to mum's house, she oledi told me got lollipop which peishan bought for jayden. Then i was thinking why peishan buy ahDen lollipop cox ahDen cant eat sweet yet, he might swallowed the whole thing & choke. Somemore the 'lollipop' is sooooo big, how to finish??!! (I never like lollipop cox i can never finish licking one!) Then again i tell myself, maybe the lollipop is for me... some special sweet from japan maybe =))

When i saw the 'lollipop', i immediately burst out loud. It was printed there Chupa Chups, then beneath it a clear print of BATH BALL. =)) Oh... so tis is the bath ball tat peishan mentioned she'll give me cox she won't be using it. Now suddenly everything make sense... cannot be ahDen so young oledi eat such a big lollipop! Tis one really funny.... luckily i din open and eat lar... but clearly printed there tat it wasn't edible, juz some ppl can be quite blind at time.... (my sister ahMing!)

Chupa Chups for Jayden!
eh... strawberry flavoured chupa chups but not edible icon??!??
B-A-T-H B-A-L-L !!! *_*"'
Strawberry bathball for me n my bathtub!
Then there was the miso soup paste purposely sent over from japan. I told peishan tat it was kinda costly here in msia, and she bought the paste for me from japan. I know i must have troubled her for she was asking if can handcarry the paste or even better if she just throw it inside her check-in luggage. I haven't try cooking the miso paste yet, cox mum was here for the last few days. Maybe tmr i can start cooking and we'll haf miso soup for dinner. Thanks and *HUGS* to peishan darling for buying me all these souvenirs. Very much treasured, and the good laugh i had from them!
