  • Gin’s so called “Signature”

    OK, I was telling Gin (My twin ) that we are selling her car and Im getting a new car.

    She freaked out for a while and continued…

    Gin: KEEP MY CAR PLATE A!!!

    (This is what she says in the entire conversation)

    Bo: YES! We will keep it ok. We share the same birthday so your car plate is good for me too

    Gin: DONT SELL!

    BO: (ignored)

    Gin: You Know my signature right?

    I replied …

    WTF is tat?? It doesnt look like Gin, Gin yee, Or even Siow to me!

    Can you believe that she calls this as the ” boss’s” signature…looks like boss’s signature has to be messy and unrecognizable.

    Take note, all the bosses who read my blog.

  • Halloween Weekend

    In case you missed my Halloween post click here.

    So after a long and crazy night at Phuture, I woke up at around noon on Sunday and decided to have Chili’s for brunch. So Jo and I went over to Chili’s at BSC.

    Top- Mirror Fashion Gallery, Bangsar

    Pants- Topshop

    Flats- Taiwan

    Polka dot hair tie – Taiwan

    I curled my hair the night before and it turned out very nice the next day. By the way, I’m desperately in need of a damn curler! Any good brands out there, anyone ??

    Chili’s always brings back memories of life back in the US.

    Jo and I

    My hung over face.

    I bought this in Taiwan too, It comes in 2 different colors, white and pink. I couldn’t decide which color to get so I ended up buying both hehe.

    I had Caesar salad and

    vege and beef soup, just like in the US

    Jo had a bacon cheeseburger. He couldn’t stop complaining why the bacon is not crispy enough and why Msia doesn’t serve pork bacon!

    We went grocery shopping after lunch.

    Then went back to my place to get changed and rest for a bit cause we promised our lil boy to bring him out to play the night before.

    Baby boy was so excited in the car! He couldn’t stop jumping or running around in the car.

    Tried to take a picture with him but he just couldn’t stop moving around.

    There you go, cant really see him cox it’s too dark.

    “You can trust me I’m not blonde” baby T from Abercrombie & Fitch

    baby boy met a few friends in the park.

    We met up with Rae and Cheryl and their doggies

    They brought along a bubble gun.

    Bb Boy and I, sorry for my huge eye bags. I had too many drinks the night before.

    Wawa with her funny looking face hahah.

    That was how I spent my Halloween weekend, how about u? I love it when I can party really hard on a Saturday night and then stay in or relax on a Sunday. It’s just prefect for me to recharge my energy for Monday, booo to work hahaha.


  • “Balik Kampung” It’s time to say Goodbye

    Finally, It’s time to pack up my things and leave. I have no idea what I should write about in this post and since it’s the last entry for my “Balik Kampung” series I might as well just throw in some pictures and captions.

    Went back to uncle’s place and had a very yummy pineapple bun

    Went to Mos Burger for lunch with sister cause parents were enjoying their high tea session with grandma. We tried something new; pork burger with rice instead of a bun. I was craving to have western food but ended up ordering the wrong thing and it turned out to be like having chinese in a fast food restaurant.

    Taiwanese citizens are very into recycling. They even have to separate their straws, paper cups, wrappers and trays when disposing their food in fast food restaurants. Look how complicated it is, I was so gan cheong I might throw my paper cup into a wrong bin.

    Went to walk around looking for a pink suitcase and wala I found it! Ended up I bought 2; a baby pink and a dark pink polka dot suitcase. Yup, it’s the one Audrey mentioned in her blog =D Here is the exact color of the suitcase in case u’re curious hehe.

    Then we went to have mixed ice after dinner, my sis’s fav.

    Looks like cotton candy!

    and Malaysia airlines meals sucks max! Hate it!

    Well, I think thats pretty much about it for my “Balik Kampung” series. I hope you’ve liked them as they’re not like any other travel posts I’ve done.

    It’s more about food food food and the company.

    Have a great day!

    P/s: Jo and I are planning for a little getaway trip for our 5th anni. Im pretty excited about it. Hehe I cant wait till Dec!

  • Konapun Japanese Cooking Toy

    Ever since I saw the Youtube video of this toy I have been searching up and down for it. I Googled it and found out that they are selling it on Ebay but it will cost me a bomb if Im really that desperate to get it from them, so I gave up.

    One fine day when I was in Taiwan having dumplings, I mentioned this cute little cooking set to my uncle and he was like “Lets go hunt for it after this!” I was so surprised that he was actually willing to spend all his time with us looking for this cooking set that might not even exist in Taiwan.  So after lunch, we hopped into his car and off we went.

    We went to the first mall and the salesgirls told us that they have seen this product a long time ago but they’ve already stopped producing them. I was so disappointed and thought that maybe we were too late.

    Stopped by 2nd and 3rd malls. To be honest after the 2nd mall I have already given up but my uncle insisted to go to the 3rd and 4th so I just followed.

    Well, I know god will always take care of those who show him how desperate or how much effort u’ve put into looking for something you really want. WALA, we found it in the 4th mall. It was the last set and it was also on sale!! *wink wink*

    Konapun- It creates a variety of  Japanese food by using powder & water. All you need to do is to mix, stir and wait, isn’t it easy!

    A few different packs of powders to make different types of food.

    It’s not a big deal if you have no idea how to read japanese cox the instructions include pictures. It shows u step by step, how to cook all the dishes.

    Waited for 15 minutes… and here is the end result for rice. It smells and looks like the real thing.

    Done with Ketchup. We put it into a plastic bag so it’s easier for us to decorate.

    After making ketchup, it was time to make omelets and fried eggs. We mixed the egg powder with a lil bit of water.

    Poured the eggs into a tray and put it in our mini oven and waited for 15 minutes.

    While waiting for it we cooked the omelet.

    It was done right after 15 mins so we put in a little bit of rice and wrapped it.

    We mixed the rice with a little bit of ketchup so it will “taste” better.

    Then it’s time to make some tempura and chicken chop.

    Personally I love making tempura, it’s fun and amazing. You can literary fry it in this mini kitchen!

    A pot of  “oil” is more than enough to fry 2 tempuras and a chicken chop.

    Throw all the tempura in it and wait for it to turn brown. It’s amazing that it actually sounds like you’re deep frying something.

    When it floats on the surface of the oil u know it’s ready to be served.

    Ready to be served!

    Don’t they look like a real dish!

    Another very cool dish that we did. Fish egg Sushi!

    Sashimi

    Yummy!!!

    Do you want one too?  Hehe I googled and found they are selling them in Ebay, check it out here . Now you can have your own lil cooking kitchen!

    By the way, I got the Konapun kitchen set for RM100 because it was the last one and it was on sale. The original price was RM140.

    besides tat we also bought 6 different refill packs for different dishes. We bought spaghetti, pudding, cakes, sushi, curry rice and ice cream.

    It cost us a total of RM 250 for 6 packs; It’s around RM40 per pack.

    I know we are a little bit crazy about this, my dad was like ” You spent almost RM300 for something that you cant eat or use or even keep?”

    Well, It’s just for fun!

  • “Balik Kampung” Day 4

    I always start my Taiwan posts with a picture of me and my sister cause there is no other people who were willing to camwhore with me. Day 4 was much more relaxing as we got to go shopping and buy whatever thing we wanted to buy.

    My eldest aunt came over to pick us up and off we went to have lunch. Mum decided on Dumplings so we went fot it.

    As usual, Jie and I

    We went to this super favorite of mine, Lao You

    Different types of side dishes for you to choose from…

    My favorite dish is the pig’s ear with some green onion.

    Sliced pork with chili

    Main dish: DUMPLINGS!!!

    The ingredient was a little bit of pork, green onion and prawn.

    After lunch we went to have dessert at my aunt’s bakery shop.

    Uncle changes his car in every 4 yrs so this time I got to try out his new car, a lexus LS 600H, I called it the car with thousand of buttons! Look at how many buttons it has only for the back seats. It has massager, heater, controller for the audio and etc

    jie and I enjoying the ride.

    We went to a few different malls to look for Konapun ( japanese cooking toy). Their malls allowed pets in carriers, why cant msia do tat too??

    We went to 2 different malls and still couldn’t find the toy we wanted and just when I was about to give up…

    We found it in “Yuan Dong” a mall near my place.

    We were so happy that we finally found it! All our effort and hard work, paid off!

    You must be curious what kind of toy this is. It’s not any other cooking toy you find in the market. It’s special and unique.

    Yes, we spent our whole afternoon playing with it.

    I will blog about it in my next post so stay tuned for more k!
