But on the bright side, YAY to one month down, 11 more months to go. I can do this. Jia you jia you!!
Stress level is like almost reaching the maximum already. Sigh, life of working in the 3rd biggest hospital in Peninsular Malaysia.
Every weekday, all I look forward to are the weekends, because that's when Hou will be coming over. Yes the bf had been coming over every single week without fail. I know I'm too dependent on him, and yes I will slowly learn to adapt to my life here and not always ask him to come over when the weekends are here.
And this week will be the first weekend that he wont be coming here! Haha lets see what I will do then :P
Anyway, like I was saying, I love weekends because I get to see Hou, and we get our 'paktor' days back. :)
He usually comes on Friday, right after work, and our normal Friday night dinner dates would be the same, like what we've been doing for the past 3 years, no matter whether it's in Ipoh or Subang :)
This was 2 weeks ago dinner date :)
Our initial plan was to try our Sushi Zento, which is the same restaurant as Edo Ichi, in First Subang Mall in ss15. Then while we were parking our car, we stumbled upon this Korean restaurant which was 'Uncle Jang' lookalike, and darling was craving for Uncle Jang since the week before so we randomly changed our plans on the spot and walked in to this restaurant instead.
It was good!! As good as Uncle Jang, and the plus point was it wasn't as spicy as Uncle Jang until it gets torturing. The level of spiciness was just right!!
3 petrol stations outside my house. Giant, Tesco and Aeon, all 5 minutes drive away. And lots of awesome food like 5 minutes drive away also!!
After dinner, we randomly passed by Haagen Dazs shop and I said 'why you never bring me eat expensive ice cream before one? I so sad, no one cheng me eat Haagen Dazs before :('
And so the next minute, Hou was parking his car and saying 'come lets go eat Haagen Dazs'. HEHE ;D
Me is a happy girl :D
At first I wanted to choose 2 scoops of ice cream only, then I stood there so long, looking at all the flavors, cannot make up my mind, so the bf being so generous, asked me to take the 6 scoops one, so that I can choose whatever flavor I want. YIPPPIE YAY!!!! Thank you darling :D So much for trying to save money hahahaha.
And so I chose salted caramel (duh, my favorite of all!!), green tea, tiramisu, cookies and cream, mango sorbet and macadamia nuts.
My first love with Haagen Dazs hehe :D
Called it a night after that. Headed home cause I was working the next day. Yes sad life I have ok, working on a Saturday. Thank god I only start work at 1pm, so it isnt so bad la..
Next morning, we had late brunch at my favorite Dim sum shop. My colleagues brought me here earlier and I super love the dim sum there. So much better than the 'already so famous and sucky Foh San'.
Haha so definitely had to bring Hou to try la!! And he also said it was good!! Super lovee!!
*We ordered more than these, but because I was rushing to work, I stopped taking pictures of the others :P*
Sunday lunch was none other than the Famous Ipoh Nga Choi Gai!
Honestly, I feel that the standard dropped super alot!! Like it used to be nice, but the last 2 times that I ate it, it was totally 'nothing to shout about'. But since Hou was craving for it like crazy, so ok fine, teman him eat.
Chose Lou Wong over Onn Kee because the last one I had was Onn Kee and it was quite bad.
One thing for sure, I super love their Nga Choi! So fat and juicy!!
Btw, that day, the chicken wasn't so bad. In fact, it was quite good. So yeah, I guess I see myself returning some other time if I'm craving for it!!
Last week, to celebrate my '1 month of working', we decided to have a good dinner since it had been such a LONG time since I last took the effort to put on makeup and dress up. Hehe
I did the research on where to eat as usual, and Hou was the driver plus the 'bill-payer'. Haha can't find the correct word to use :P
I was craving for good steaks, so I just randomly googled 'Best steak in Ipoh'. And voila, only one restaurant kept popping up!! And good news is.....................................
Jeng jeng jeng.... They have a branch in Damansara!!! And both reviews, the ipoh and damansara ones are damn good. So definitely I had to try it out for myself, since the Ipoh branch is the 'original one'. LOL
Name of the restaurant: Maria's Steakhouse :)
*OOTD*
*Oxtail soup*
RM19.90 for this small bowl
At first, I didn't want to try oxtail soup cause darling kept lying to me and saying that oxtail is actually the dick of a cow. Yeah, I believed that. I believe everything anyone tells me one lor :(
So I was like wtf no way im eating it.
Then when I was researching bout this restaurant, everyone was saying how awesome the oxtail soup was. So I decided to google 'define oxtail' and turns out its the meat from the tail of a cow. I was like wtf?! How did I even believe that its the dick when the word TAIL is clearly there. LOL LOL I feel so stupid now ahahaha
Ok enough of my oxtail story haha. Getting carried away.
*Hou ordered their Chicken Parmigiana*
And me me me, I got to eat my steak!! Australian Black Angus Steak, priced at rm48/100gram.
And our steak cost us rm99!! Wtf so small but it was sooooo SOOO sooo sooo sooo good. Ok definitely one of the best steak I've ever eaten. Cause not like I always eat steak la, so haha yeah. Go and try and judge for yourself!
*Cooked perfectly medium* :D YUMS YUMS
*US* :)
*Ending our wonderful meal with Carrot Walnut Cake. Soooo goood!!*
Next stop after dinner was my ALL TIME FAVORITE!! Cant believe I found it here, so far away from Subang. Oh my, I almost cried tears of joy when I spotted it for the first time :P
*YES, ITS GONGCHA, IN IPOH OHMYGOD*
Went strolling around Kinta Waterfront, to see the pretty lights after having our small yamcha session in Gongcha.
*So pwetty horrrrr :D*
It was a good night. Feels good to be able to do what we usually do every Friday nights, even when we're so far away from Subang. Everything just feels the same, nothing changed, and I love it :)
Darling stayed on till Tuesday and so we had more food adventures together. Hehe sooo happy that I managed to persuade him to stay longer and take a day off work :P
I was working on Monday, and the best bf in the world woke up at 7am despite having slept at 4.30am only, to send me to work. Awww felt so hang fook :))))
And all the time during work, I was waiting and waiting for lunch time to come because the bf was coming over to have lunch with me!! Hehee first time, someone waiting to pick me up for lunch. So happy!!
You see, I told him, I'm very easily satisfied, Just small stuffs like these can make me super duper happy!!! :DD
And after lunch, he dropped me off at work, and took my car for a wash :D Where to find this kind of bf???!
And after work, someone to pick me up for dinner :)
I just wished he can stay here with me forever :( Then life would be perfect sigh....
Dinner at a restaurant near my house.
*Their signature Curry Assam Cod Fish*
*Salted Egg Chicken*
*Paku-pakis Thai Style*
Super love all the dishes and we will definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu!!!
Since Tuesday was a public holiday, and I did not need to work, we had the whole day to ourselves wheeee :D
For lunch, Hou took me to the so called 'famous' Yong Tau Foo.
But seriously, nahhhhh, totally not up to my standards. I'll just stick to Puchong YTF.
*My favorite Ai Gua and it failed to impress me. :(*
Right after lunch, we went for yamcha! Literally drink tea :P
Its called 'Somethings Brewing' cafe.
And they have a HUGE selection of teas!! Like so soooo many!!
*Ordered the Chocolate Chai and Peach White Tea*
Rm8.90 per pot
Unique taste I would say, price also reasonable.
But but I bu shuang one thing is, they didnt allow me to sit on the couch seats when I requested because apparently thats for 'bigger groups', while there were only 2 of us.
Hello!! If the place is busy and full, then ok la fine I understand. But that time it was SUPER empty, like only one table was occupied. Practically empty except for one customer, so why cant we take the couch seats??!! GRRRR ANGRY!!
So will I be coming back for more? Not for the time being, but maybe when I crave some unique tea. But most of the time, I only crave for coffee, not tea hahaha.
Anyway, after yamcha, it was time to bid goodbye to Hou. So so sad :( And I cant see him this weekend too, cause its stupid to just go home for 2 days and appear in Ipoh again. So ya lets see what I will do for this weekend :)
For now, ciaoz
