芋头巧

Saw this 芋头巧 from Sally blog, thought of making it when i 心血来潮， at first when i was in the supermarket, i was hesitating whether to make it anot as the yam i saw is 1 kg and the flour is 500g each for a packet 糯米粉 and 米粉 and 300g for a packet of太白粉 and for a person like me who hardly cook, the rest of the flour will be left in the shelf after using it to make this. In the end, i use baby yam to make it as i find that the 1 kg yam is too big.

Laksa La Mian

Saw this new product (Laksa La Mian) in the supermarket, so brought it to try it out.

I add fish cake, tau pok and prawns to it

香蕉巧克力方块蛋糕

Saw this 香蕉巧克力方块蛋糕 in Ching blog and i have not try out a cake bottom is chocolate with banana and the top is banana, so i thought that i will try it out. Guess i use too much bananas ( i use 3 big bananas ) as it turns out very soft, easily break.

Deep Fried Mid Wing Chicken

The Nasi Ayam Kampung Goreng in Sonia blog tempted me so much that i went to supermarket to buy the mid wing and fried it... hehe...

Meetup with Serene and family

Serene was in Singapore with her family on 2nd ~ 3rd May and staying in Festive Hotel in Resort World. That morning, when i called her, she was mentioning that she's going Bird Park and not sure what time she will be back in Hotel, so i ask her to let me know when she's done and also to arrange for a meetup. In the afternoon, i called her again and was inform that she didn't go Bird Park as it's raining when she reach there. So we arrange to meet at the Hotel that she's staying.

Serene, nice meeting up with you and hope to meetup with you again soon.

Kota Kinabalu Airport

Note : Realise that the comments in my previous post are all gone. :(

We reach the airport at Kota Kinabalu before the counters open, so i took the opportunities to take some pictures.

Surprise to see a Foot Massage Centre inside the airport

Didn't notice that there's rainbow till friend told me

Meal on board the plane

Fook Yuen

On our last day at Sabah, after visiting the zoo, we still have time before our departure time back to Singapore, the tour guide recommend us this place and that the bread and teh here is nice.

She also recommend this mee siam, at first, i thought it is nasi lemak.

But i find that it is not spicy enough

The bread is very soft

teh

Extra order by AYC

We each buy a loaf back

Sicilian Orange Cake

Another item that tempts me to do when i saw in Sonia blog is the Sicilian Orange Cake.

Chicken Adobo

When i saw the Chicken Adobo in Sonia blog, i was so tempted to do it that i quickly went to the supermarket to get those ingredients that i do not have. I used mid wing instead of drumstick and thighs as in Sonia blog.

Although mine don't look that good, but it taste great.

Sabah Trip (9 ~ 12 Apr 2011)

Actually i used to wanted to go Sabah very long time ago, but have put it off till friend AYC ask me if i was interested to to Sabah. I was quite relaxed as AYC is the one who is doing the booking and only waited for the departure date and fly off to Sabah.

We took the 8.50am flight from Singapore to Kota Kinabalu and the reach Kota Kinabalu at around 11.30am.

While having my passport chop at the immigration, the officer was asking me how many days i will be in Kotu Kinabalu, i reply 4 days, she reply me, how come so few days? I was telling AYC about this and that i feel like replying her, if she let me stay at her kampong, i can stay longer.

As my photos from Day 1 to Day 3 was corrupted, these pictures are from AYC camera.

Were in Kota Kinabulu for 4 days, so we stay at this The Palace Hotel for 3 nights. Actually, AYC have booked another hotel, but the hotel was fully book, so it was changed to this hotel.

After checking in at Hotel, we went for our lunch at the nearby shopping centre before meeting the tour guide to go River Boat Cruise along the Rainforest.

While on the way, saw that there's May Bank Islamic, was curious how come it's May Bank Islamic and not like what i saw before May Bank, i ask the tour guide and was told that the interest rates for Malays is higher than other races.

The journey takes about 1 1/2 hours from the hotel. Halfway thr the journey, it starts to rain heavily. But the tour still goes on. We took a River Boat along the Wildlife Park, and luckily we manage to see the Proboscis Monkeys. After that, we went for dinner. After dinner, we continue on to see fireflies. After that we went to a chocolate shop before proceeding back to the hotel for a night rest.

On the second day, we took the speedboat to two islands

The first island we visited is Pulau Sapi. They have various activities there like snorkeling, jet boat rides, etc... But we didn't tried that out, we walk around and sit back at the beaches to relax.

Quite like the beach there

Saw 四脚蛇 there, find that it is quite shy as whenever we wanted to walk near it, it will run away.

Lunch for the day

After lunch, we proceed to Pulau Mamutik, this island is smaller than the other island.

Actually on the third day, we were supposed to go Kota Kinabalu Park, but due to landslide, we were unable to go there. Instead, we went to Mari Mari Cultural Village. Quite an interesting place.

After the tour, there is a performance

On the last day, before we went back, we went to the zoo in the morning

Our main aim going to the zoo is to see the 长鼻猴

Our flight back to Singapore is at 5.40pm and reached Singapore around 8pm.

Have spoken to Akira, next will be to fulfil :

Die Die go Penang look for Akira
