: : Local Fruits : :

Exam is over and I was hanging out at cousin Jack and Garnet’s house. The Wrights pop by after their stay at one of the hotels in town so I got reacquainted with my niece, Abat and nephew, Theo. They love playing with my camera.

It was hard to take a picture with a wriggling little gal whereby I had to make sure she doesn’t fall down and take the picture at the same time.

Theo : Hey! Let’s make a movie! Like the hamsters!

Abat : YES YES YES!!

So, my camera was hi-jack for the amusement of two kiddies for a small movie of a talking rambutan skin (6.6 MB). Point mouse on link, right click, ‘Save Target As..’ and save it into your HDD for viewing. Devong, we’re waiting for you to come back. In fact, Abat is waiting anxiously for your return. 🙂

This is tampoi and it’s an interesting fruit. Why? Because if you eat too much of it, you’ll end up drunk. SERIOUSLY. The inner flesh sort of looks like mangosteen except that it’s yellow in colour. Got the shock of my life when Garnet and Sina’ Tun mentioned this. Somehow, the fruit naturally ferments itself inside one’s stomach. Urgh! I do not even want to go there.

Mrs. Wright : If I want to know what you and Jas are up to, I just go online and check out your blogs.

Hmm… dangerous now to blog too much about my life. The whole family is reading my blog. YIKES!

: : A good morning laff : :

Woke up early today to go and sit for an exam later on in the morning. Reading theStar Online as it’s still hard to get the newspaper in Kuching (limited copied available and it gets snapped up within 2 hours! grrr…). Laffing quite a bit here after reading the articles.

Nitemares after eating food. Wonder if anyone else had that experience? I’m thankful I do not suffer from that malady.

Airing the wine seems to be a good way to make wine tastes better but no pictures of those special decanters even though it’s mentioned. Someone is definitely not awake this morning. Too much aerated wine perhaps? :p

And the attitudes of the villagers and relatives made me so mad! It’s hard, I know, but did they have to alienate the family? All the family wanted was acceptance and normality. Sigh. But, it’s good to know that they are people who are still trying to live normal lives even with AIDS.

: : Tapanga Tree : :

Tonight, I had dinner with Maylin and a big bunch of MMU people. Maylin’s last few days in Kuching before flying off to Kuching on Wednesday for good. Her training stint is over so one partner less to go and makan @ eat.

We opted to go to Tapanga Tree to have dinner but will post the food pictures another day.

Iced Caramel Coffee. John ordered this and he was sitting in front of the air-con. Haha!

Just about the only place to get a huge glass of Long Island Tea for RM20 @ US$5.26. Only place I know that mixes it with soda water without having to ask for it.

After much debate, decided to post a picture up of myself (Left) with May Lin(Right). baSv, satisfied now? LOL! Anyway, that’s me. For others, if you seriously thought that Wena was someone thin, think again.

: : Is Something Burning? : :

A foodblog started by River of RiverBendBlog (Baghdad Burning) fame. The recipes are on middle Eastern dishes found in Iraq.

Something Najah and Kaz will no doubt find interesting. 🙂 Not a lot of recipes yet but I’m sure it’s going to grow preptty soon.

: : Korean Restaurant : :

A few weeks ago, I posted a birthday note to May Lin. Well, this was the Korean Restaurant that we went to have dinner. Can’t remember the name of the restaurant because I accidently threw away the receipt. My brain is shot to pieces the past few weeks due to stress. Sigh. So, please feel free to post comments on the names of the Korean dishes. Would be thankful for the feedback from anyone.

This Korean Restaurant is the old Dea Ba Ru Restaurant located at Green Road. They’ve moved over to the new shoplots next to the BDC roundabout. It’s facing the new BHC Fast Food Place (another Korean food outlet).

Now, what is a Korean meal without the usual kimchi and other vegetable dishes on the side? Refills are for free so I was eating quite a fair bit of kimchi. Just love the stuff.

Kimchi Soup : okay, it’s obvious that I just love this stuff. Very spicy but yummy. Keeps one warm in extremely cold air-con restaurants and during winter time as well.

A plate of mixed-vegetable. We were very conscientious eaters that nite.

Now, what is a Korean meal without the famous BBQ pork? Hmmm…hmmm….HMMM!!

The pork strips are cooked on a grilled that is fired up by a small gas cylinder. No, not the big 12 kg ones from Petronas or SHELL but the smaller ones.

The slices are then dipped in sesame seed oil and put onto a leaf of fresh green lettuce. Then, add some bean paste to it, wrap it all up and eat it!

The head waitress kept giving us funny looks when we said that that’s all we were having. Reason was that we still have a birthday cake to eat. Even then, we could not finish the cake and there were 5 of us.
