din tai fung 2 & laptop shopping.

On Saturday, we went to MidValley with the intention to help my sister to buy herself a new laptop. Dell, she wants, so we bought my brother along because he's the tech-savvy one in the family as usual. We planned to have dinner at the food court, buy the laptop, walk around and then go home. What we didn't expect was a super huge existing crowd in MidValley itself due to break fast because it's 7PM already when we arrived. This is the first time I've seen a sea of people this huge that it feels even hard and tiring to walk around. The good mood I was in, was washed away after a while.

Because of the super big crowd at the food court, we couldn't find any tables and decided that no, we don't want to dine in there. We're gonna dine somewhere were people are scarce which is like, impossible because it's a Saturday. The only option we have is non-halal outlets. So we walked around deciding where to go. At first, we were queuing up for ZEN Sushi but when it was our turn, me and my sister decided that we don't want sushi. So, we moved to the back and got in line for Din Tai Fung instead. Talk about indecisiveness. The queue for Din Tai Fung was long too, and we had to wait for like, 20 minutes until it's our turn. We were given a number and was told to wait, and while waiting, we get to order what we want with the order chit.

There were teas for us to drink while waiting too. Ah, good service. Plus, there's this cool Taiwanese (we assume she is by the way she talk and her foreign face) waitress who's serving us outside so it's not that bad. Heh. Once inside, the food arrived quickly. We ordered a lot of stuffs since it's my parents first time there and I managed to take piccas before they dig in. Here's most of them, the only one missing are the aromatic teas.

Cold drunken chicken. This is reeeeeeally good!!

My sister's pickled vegetable la mien (ramen). I had this last time.

Combo B Part 1: Xiao long bao. Very delicious!

My chicken soup la mien. Not bad, though the soup tastes a bit bland.

Mom's prawn wanton soup la mien.

Mango pudding with raw milk. Love it. It tastes like Japanese Konyaku.

Dad's pork chop la mien.

Garlic stirred fry vegetables.

Combo B Part 2: Prawn and Pork Dumplings.

My brother's pork chop fried rice was the last to arrive. Haha.

All in all, the whole meal was satisfying and summed up to about 150MYR, which means 30MYR per person. The price was a bit hefty but we're all foodies so it's okay. We like trying out new foods anyway. -lol- By the way, the uniforms in DTF looks quite nice. I wish I could wear that once.

Also, my sister didn't manage to buy her laptop in the end because my brother remembered that he has a friend who works in a computer shop who's willing to send him a list of refurbished laptops on demand. Since my sister wants to save a little, she decided to wait for the list. While me, on the other hand, is deciding whether I should be buying myself a MacBook or a Dell. Hmmm.

big day outing.

It's my birthday today. Wabbit and I both took AL so that we could celebrate my birthday together. How very sweet of baby. -smiles- Anyways, we planned to head up to Genting at first, or maybe Malacca but it didn't work out because we both slept in late until afternoon. By the time we've gotten ourselves ready, half of the day was already gone. -lol- So, in the end we went to MidValley instead and had KFC for lunch. Poor me, only get to eat KFC on my big day. -sadface- But still, quite happy because it's Wabbit's treat. I rarely get treated by W anymore because we've come to terms about not spending extra money on each other except on special occasions. A simpler way to put it: So that we both won't be a loss party when the dreaded split really happens. It's a fair thing. Like what Karen said, A-A system. -haha-

Anyway, we loitered (yes, loitered) at Starbucks and bought ourselves two Mocha Frappucino, sat outside reading The Sun's Wednesday newspaper before walking around the mall aimlessly until 7PM. I so wanted to buy myself another wig that I saw in this one accessory shop. It's a mid-length bob wig and I bet it'll look fine if I put it on but Wabbit is like, 101% against me buying it. So I sulked all the way until we're out of the parking lot. Argued a bit with Wabbit in MPH (I want to buy Lovely Bones!) earlier and argued again when I wanted to go down to KL for dinner and W disagreed. We went to 1U's CHARMS in the end for dinner. -smiles- Pics, anyone?

W with the menu.

My chinese tea and W's iced water.

W's Sotong Kangkung. Nice.

W's Omelette 'Lo Shu Fun'.

My Lamb Charmer

I'm like, so in love with their Lamb Charmer no matter how many times I've had it. The first time I had it was when I went out dinner with my family. I remembered my dad ordering it and we shared, brings back memories. That was the only time my family dined at Charms and I don't know why they never went back there the second time. -shrugs-

It was 10PM by the time I finish my last piece of lamb and all the shops around had closed down. Wabbit paid for the bill (thanks, baby) and we went home, but not before W begging me to go over to Brussels for a round of beer. I said no, and made W drove over to 7-11 to buy a bottle of Heineken for us so that we could share while we watch the TVB drama 'The Mysteries of Love'. Lovelovelovelovelove Raymond and Tavia in there! -loves-

Haha, yeah. So, not much celebration this year. It's all the same thing. No grand dinner or lunch, just everyday meals because Wabbit is short of money for the month. Just my luck, but at least I got myself a Fossil wallet from W in advance. Heh. I'm happy enough to say that I'm happy this year, with so many lovely wishes from my friends and family. I think I broke my own record of receiving over 80 birthday wishes this year from all my lovelies. Thank you everyone! -huggles-

Gonna celebrate another birthday party tomorrow in the office. Looking forward to it! -happyhappyjoyjoy-

fossil.

Oh wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- -twirls in-

W bought me a FOSSIL wallet as an early birthday present!! -grins like an idiot- So much love, bb. I've been eyeing that design since last year and finally, finally, I have it. I'm so damn frikkin' happy right now. Just transferred everything from the old unlucky (yes, it brings me bad money luck because I become broke every single time after my salary's out) Carlo Rino to this new baby. Call me superstitious, but hey, better safe than sorry. I don't want to really regret it when some mat rempits snatches away my bad luck CR, you know. -grins- I'm so handing back the CR to my mum because it's actually hers in the first place.

Anyways, W bought it for me from The Garden's Fossil after our dinner at MidValley's food court. I had chicken rice by the way. -lol- The wallet costs around 270MYR because it's genuine leather and it has a super lovely vintage design on. Here, details details.

Ohemgee, I have to say this: I ♥ WABBIT. Thank you so much, baby!!

shitty service at secret recipe, midvalley

Spent Sunday lazing around and headed over to MidValley for lunch. W is working today so we only managed to shop around until 16:00. I wore my new Charles&Keith shoes and that bling bling shirt I got from Kitschen on Saturday while I went shopping with my sister (using her credit card). Crazy loving those shoes even though they gave me four painful blisters on my feet. And because they hurt so much while I walk, I resorted to buying those gel pads thingy at Watsons and stick them on outside the toilet. -lol-

We went to Secret Recipe (again) for lunch and yes, I have to complain that the service crew at MidValley's Secret Recipe sucks like hell. When I say sucks like hell, it sucks like hell. There were around six staffs working in that small area and yet, when you call out to them, none of them hears! You have to like, wave around like a crazy monkey and shout out to them for them to come over with a sourly face and take your orders like we owe them their family's lives. I'm so tempted to write a review to the Star and complain about it so that everyone can agree with me. Plus, there's this sign right at the entrance that says 'Please wait for us to seat you' and yet, after you've waited for 15 minutes, none of them came over to guide us even though there are empty tables available inside. Really shitty service they have. No smiles, nothing. Not even respect for customers. What a bunch of fucking monkeys (sorry, just gotta say that).

Phew.

Okay... so, chill. I swear I'm never going back to that restaurant ever again, at least that MidValley's one. If it's not because W wanted to have their Sarawak Laksa, I'm not going to step a foot into it anyway. I wanted to try out DÔME Café, but W doesn't want to. So I'm stuck with Secret Recipe and their shitty service.

But still, managed to take some piccas because I'm such a foodie. -keke-

My spaghetti bolognese (which wasn't that nice probably because I wasn't in the best of mood).

Their Sarawak Laksa still tastes good despite the sucky service.

Parents didn't come over last weekend so I spent the weekend doing nothing the whole day when W was out for work. Ah, weekends. Who doesn't love them? ♥
