Anyway, two weekends ago (yes, two!), Jasmine came back from Malacca for a study break and we met up with her. Oooh, really become mei nu already, even Tze Siew’s mother was teasing when at her house, who’s that mei nu, presumably referring to Jasmine.
For a large part of that Saturday afternoon, the focus of attention was however towards Jia Lin’s new puppy, Jolie. Named after the actress Angelina Jolie. That little puppy sure is very hyperactive and playful, running around the living room of Tze Siew’s house and trying to “play” with us. Aiks, to be honest, I’m quite scared of dogs. Haha.
Even eating was a bit of a challenge, having to put our food away from Jolie less she jumped up and tried to get it. Hehe.
Two “monkeys” caught in the act
Anyway, we talked while we could, but when Jolie started misbehaving and making a “mess”, it was time for her to be tied up and later sent home.
Thus, after that, our outing really started. First up, we went to Song Kheng Hai for some shaved ice desserts. All of us had the “cham cham”, except Siaw Fern who had Special. Here’s a photo of what I had, it looks kinda icky but don’t judge a dessert by how it looks, this really is the cheapest, nicest, icy treat you can get.
The "cham cham"
Jia Lin & Jasmine
Next, we went to Hock Lee Centre’s arcade. A place that I’ve never been to before despite passing by it many a time. So there we were, 5 of us noobs, trying out our hand at the racing game and me losing badly, very badly. Only played that once. Then, Jia Lin pulled me along to play some kind of sniper game. That was exhilarating. Thank goodness I only spent RM2 in total, actually those games aren’t really that worth it considering you can get almost the same feel playing it on game consoles.
After we got out from Hock Lee, it was raining very heavily and there was a traffic jam around Padungan area since Hotlink was having an outdoor concert somewhere there. So we were stretching the limits of our brains thinking of somewhere to go for dinner and ended up at Pinoy Ihaw-ihaw instead, the Phillipino place at
The menu
Tze Siew gawking after looking at the menu prices? Hehe. Jasmine dreaming in the background.. Or watching tv?
Take a look at this dish, and guess what it is and what price…
Can you believe this one dish cost RM12? This is what it is called..
I kid you not, RM12 for this which is not even pure crab meat, it’s like spring roll filling inside, they mixed it with pork I think. Though it did taste good, the price is not really justifiable in my opinion.
Here’s what else we had. That’s BBQ Pork and Phillipino style fish head soup in the photo. It’s RM2 per stick and RM12 per bowl respectively. The rice costs RM1 per plate.
And this is the Ginisang Sitaw, fancy name for long beans fried with prawn, which cost RM8. Again, the price.. Gee.
And since three of us there were such big eaters, we had to order another dish, spaghetti. This one really is not halal, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten spaghetti quite like this..
Well, after the dinner, the waiter came with two pieces of paper, one the bill and one a message for somebody. Ahem ahem. Guess who, and guess what it was about. Haha. Then, it was time to leave and since it was getting a bit late and Jasmine had a flight to catch the next morning, we sent her home and bid farewell.
Well, it was good getting together with friends, lots of fun and I will miss them since they have now all gone for uni, except me. At least Siaw Fern and Jia Lin will be in Kuching.. Sigh. Again I’m the one behind.
I still have lots to blog about, including a tag by Valarie. Eek, will blog about it as soon as I can.
