Shopping and fooding around in JB!

16 April 2012

Last Saturday was shopping and fooding time with family in JB and I am already starting to collect stamps in my new biometric passport!  Invited Jessie along as Yeo was away for some leadership training in London and won't be back till this weekend.  He even watsapp-ed us lotsa beautiful photos (where is is staying...) whenever his BB was connected to WIFI!

Back to JB trip...  The usual human traffic jam at the bus queue to woodlands checkpoint and woodlands custom was horrendous.  SBS buses didn't come as frequent as we expected.  We should try out CW1 & CW2 bus services the next time.  I must say, their fleat of buses come and go in a blink of light!

We headed straight to Jusco Tebrau for lunch and we had shabu shabu at Arashi!  I love their Hokkaido Milk broth... it was YUMMICILIOUS!  I am going back for more!  ah Thiang manged to "chopp" a massage session at Tebrau (which he never did for the last few times!) while the girls do their shopping.  Supermarketing after tea-break at JCO Donut and we taxi back to City Square for second round of shopping before we ended the evening dinner-ing at Nandos.  It was really 1-1 pricing compared to SG branches.  No wonder Moma and Popa so wanna eat Nandos!

Shabu shabu time with the folks! / Pigging out in pots of soup! / Jessie eat and shop and eat until headache! / ah Thiang alone ate SEVEN donuts! / Me and my new Vincci shades! / Dinner at Nandos!

Vivian & Shane's Wedding Celebrations!

10 December 2011

Our 12hours of fun!

Celebrating this joyous occassion with the Sapura Team again!

Vivian & Shane invited almost the whole company for their wedding celebrations at Grand Straits Garden, JB.  They even booked two busses to ferry Singapore guest over for the celebrations.  We had our very own driver – Edna, and we arranged to meet up hours before the dinner starts.  This included a drive to Johor Premium Outlets, having a very late lunch at Taang Shifu and shopping!

After getting our loots (I bought mainly infant’s attires… for Luther’s girl and Gloira’s boy), we headed down to the restaurant… missed two exits and we finally reach the destination.  Everyone had fun and drinking with the groom… there is an Eclipse on that evening!

We ended the night with a late-night massage… Benny & I went for foot massage and Edna & ah Thiang went for full body massage…  This is what I called shiok-ness!

In less than 12hours, we will be running our own wedding errands!  HAPPY HAPPY weekend!  :))

Yummilicious Curry Fish Head in JB!

17 September 2011

Curry fish head at Kam Leong Restaurant

ah Thiang and I had an annual eye review with Optimax in the morning and after our appointment we had lunch at the 老皅噻的 curry fish head!  We always have curry fish head when we go to JB and after lunch we will shop and do massage in City Square.  This is our SOP!  ++HAHA++

There is no other restaurant that has such long queue for food and totally can't miss it even though the restaurant signboard cannot be easily seen while driving... it is just a drive down from the beginning of Jalan Wong Ah Fook at the first traffic light.  The queue start as early as 11am and they will close for the day once they sold out their fish heads - usually by about 2pm.

"Do they sell other dishes beside curry fish head?"  NO.  They only serve curry fish head... nothing else was on their menu.  It was always the Chinese auntie who will cook the curry and the towkay son or the aunties who shouted "sao-sao... sao-sao" (means, caution... hot hot!) to serve the customers but now the Chinese auntie is no longer around, it was the towkay son who will does the cooking.  ++Promising young man heh++

Usually a meal of 3 will only cost about RM39 (including drinks) - food to die for!  ++SLURPED++

+++The LONG queue and the promising young man at his cooking stations+++
