Third Anniversary Dinner at Kame Sushi

December 20, 2013 | Leave a Reply

We hit the third year, ain’t that fast?

I knew he’s not that type of guy who will shower his girlfriend with gifts but I really don’t care cause I actually like to shower the person I love with gifts.
I bought him more gifts than he bought me lor in these three years.

This year’s the best!
Because I bought him something totally unexpected which he loves a lot because he’s a little boy at heart.

#1 My purse is bleeding profusely right now, I can still feel the pain lol.

At first, I wanted to buy him Fifa 2014 original version because this boy mad loves Fifa. He will fail to read my messages to him but he wont fail in reading football news. Football, football, football.
I wasn’t sure if the PC version is out, so I thought I’ll just buy him a PC controller.
Then it turned out Fifa 2014 version is out and I’m torn between two and for a moment I wanted to buy him the controller and Fifa PC pirated version wtf.
But my brother was like, ‘you buy pirated cd for people as a present? wtf’ and I finally succumbed to paying for both of the items because I want le fatty to be super happy.

#2 I also took a lot of effort in wrapping up the present, putting the items into a Loccitane box just so that I can double surprise him.

Seeing his shocked and happy face, it was worth it.
But he was mad pissed just now at the bad traffic while fetching me back home because he couldn’t wait to go home and play his game with the new controller wtf. Stupid boy.

#3 Dolled myself up for our dinner. :)

This year’s pick was Japanese cuisine. I had a hard time deciding because I kept picking French but at the same time I don’t want to pick French cuisine just yet. I want a French restaurant that will give a wow factor and I just feel like there isn’t any right now.
And since Fatty wanted to try omakase for the longest time while I was waiting for the perfect occasion, it seemed like the right choice.
Between Sushi Hinata and Kame Sushi, we picked the latter.

#4 Third anniversary dinner at Kame Sushi.

#5 Requested for seats by the bar because I like to see chef at work and I secretly hope to interact with them.

Our pick for the night was a Rm250, 9 course omakase set.
Hokkaido hairy crab was not included in the set and we topped up an additional of Rm80 for it.

#6 Japanese amuse bouche? Potato salad and god-knows-what that was really good and worked it’s way to open up my already opened appetite.

#7 Jelly like texture that tasted like fish.

#8 Best sashimi ever!

Everything was extremely fresh, I guess it’s because we went on a Tuesday.
If you’ll like to try Kame Sushi, do go on a Tuesday or Friday because that’s when they flown in their seafood.
Do make a booking too to avoid disappointment seeing that Kame Sushi really do have limited space.

#9 Highlight of the night for me, my all time favorite raw shrimp. OMG the shrimp was huge compared to what I normally ate! I literally went to heaven for a while. Super excellent sashimi.

#10 Hokkaido hairy crab accompanied by a ginger-like-sauce that balances up the strong tomalley taste.

The sauce was really good in the act of balancing the taste, much better than Chinese’s vinegar and ginger combination.
The way Kame Sushi’s chef opened up the crab makes it very easy for us to savor it but I’ll pass the next time.
The crab was very fresh and good but for Rm80, I’ll either save the money or opt for something more interesting.
But if you have not eaten a hairy crab before, I’d say give it a go.

#11 I cant tell what fish is this but it was just good.

I find Kame Sushi isn’t attentive enough, perhaps because we’re not regulars.
First, it’s because the food was served before we finish what we were eating.
Instead of them keeping track and adjusting to us, we (especially me because I’m a slow eater) have to keep up to their pace. It feels like I was forced to eat real quick or else my other dishes will turn cold.
So I suggest you to let them be aware that you want to finish your dish before they come out with the next one.

Another issue was that the waiter did not explain to us what they were serving.
Omakese means ‘I’ll leave it to you’ and yes I’ll leave it to the chef to serve me whatever he wants but someone needs to explain to me what they are serving.
Like what type of fish, which part, and so on. I have to sit and kept wondering what the hell am I putting in to my mouth at some point.

I think both the issues are as important as the quality of the food if they want their customers to fully enjoy the meal and experience.
I don’t hate it, I just wish that they can improve and give their best or at least now that you already know you can request for it.

#12 Grilled prawn heads which was so good I almost wont stop sucking it.

#13 Daikon radish with fish liver.

#14 Oyster tempura.

#15 OMG-sushi-platter. When Fatty feed on his sea urchin, I sang ‘someone’s in heaven lol’ because he literally is when he rolled his eyes because it was so good for him. After stuffing so much into my tummy, sea urchin was a little strong for me. Nothing can beat my raw shrimp, not even sea urchin lol.

#16 Miso soup with chunks of fish meat in it. Fatty laughed and said, ‘this is too much, they even have fish meat in it’ because we were already full to the brim.

#17 Rice tea and two slices of imported pear.

#18 It was suppose to be a two hour (atleast) dinner where you eat, chit-chat, and enjoy the food but we finished it in less than two hours thanks to Fatty. He ate so fast, I don’t have time to digest fml.

#19 Regret of the night, wearing a high waist skirt wtf. (I never learn!)

Total bill came up to Rm580 (no tax?) for the both of us.
Kame Sushi’s omakase starts at Rm150 without tuna belly and the price increase from there.

It’s fun to have a no-repeat-cuisine for our anniversary.
Italian for first year, Chinese for second, and Japanese for third. What’s next?

P/S: Anyway I also blogged(ramble) at Dayre, so do follow me if you want instant updates. Cheers. :)

The kind of happiness Chanel can’t buy you.

I feel very much in love recently.
Most of the time when I feel so in love, I couldn’t contain my happiness or feelings. Same goes to when I feel mad, I have to burst it out too.

Lets just say (if you haven’t already know) I really am a person so full with emotions.

I haven’t been sharing my thoughts and feelings as often as I used to.
I do still pen them down occasionally but at the end they just never get the chance to be read by another human being other than myself. That wasn’t very me, not the me before I was happy.

I believe in every relationship there’re always ups and downs in a way that sometimes it’s just very monotone-like; same routine, boring conversations, and easily annoyed while some other times it’s almost picture perfect. Laughters, happiness, butterflies in our stomach, and all you could ever think of is to spend the rest of your life living the same scenarios.

Right now, it’s the latter.
At times I do think that the situation very much depends on the guy or at least in my context it works that way.
Exception only when I’m having PMS, hah! Whatever right you do may still seem wrong when PMS bug is around.

Why am I so happy and in love?
Because he treats me right.
He calls everyday in between his work (unless he’s mega busy) to have a few minutes chat with me. Occasionally I call him too when I miss him too much and can’t wait any longer for his calls.
When he fails to call, he’ll text me instead.
I truly appreciate this gesture as it shows how much he thinks of me during work.

Even when he’s tired after work, he still finds time for me during night time. Just to see me/ let me see him.

He always tells me he miss me which gave me butterflies.

He wishes me happy monthsary whenever he remembers.

He goes the extra mile just to make me happy like buying Happy Meal and eating it to get me my minions. He think its stupid but even when he thought so, he still did it for me. Coming from such an ego guy like him, I’ve unlock an achievement hahaha!

Above all, right this moment I know that what we’re having is true.

See what I said about not getting around to post my thoughts and rambles.
The above was typed a few months ago, aherm.

Yay, a very happy 3rd year anniversary to the both of us. :)
At the very beginning of our mutual feeling for each other, I doubted a lot as to whether our feelings can really last.
Knowing that we both got together in a way not much people would agree on, the entire relationship wasn’t very convincing even to myself.

I used to go for tarot reading a lot before I was with fatty, mainly because I felt like I really had lost control of my own life and emotions. I needed guideline (from tarot dafuq).
I went to the lady at Sungai Wang 6th floor and I found her reading to be accurate after my first visit. I think she said I’ll have ‘tou fah’ during June and by June I was with Aaron (wtf). She also said there’s incoming money during August and that’s when I won my first lottery. The second time I looked for her, I find her reading to be less accurate. Actually deep down I knew it wasn’t accurate at all during the second time.

As for the third and final time (for now), it was after I got together with Fatty after a month or two. I went with two of my girlfriends (don’t wanna disclose names scared they don’t like) and I asked the tarot lady if we’ll last long. She said ‘He’s not the one’ and from then on I stopped going for tarot reading.

Because that shit really bothered me at that time. That’s when I understand why my mom never go to shits like that because she said why will she want to listen to someone else telling her that her life is so and so when she’s the one living her life.

I can’t be sure if what the tarot lady said is true, not until the end of time but I’d much rather live my life the way I want it and keep my relationship in the best state that I can.

To me, he always feels like the one.
Even though half the time I feel like slapping or strangling him (no joke!) for his stubbornness, at least I don’t stay home wondering if he’s faithful to me. No one can really stand his stubbornness but I’ll try and learn how to accept his flaw like how he accepts mine.

I’ll be having higher blood pressure in the future but I know it’s worth it. At least I no longer cry myself to sleep like how I used to.

2nd Anniversary Dinner at Dragon-i

December 20, 2012 | Leave a Reply

It was a date so simple but it brought so many smiles to my face. :)

I almost wanted to pick ‘Dining in The Dark’ as the venue for our 2nd anniversary when I found out that it has opened its arms at Changkat KL but Fatty suggested otherwise.
Fatty suggested Dragon-i and it was a tough choice to choose between both.

I thought I’ll have to wait for another few years, to fly back over to Bangkok (if you’d like to find out Bkk’s DITD) and finally try ‘Dine In The Dark’ but of all sudden we now have it here in KL. How nice. :)
When I found out the concept of such restaurant in Bangkok, I was mad excited but none of my friends were. :(
Thank God I do not have to wait for another few years now.

Choice between two was finally made and I put ‘Dining In The Dark’ in my waiting list in the end because after knowing the menu (which I shouldn’t cause I weren’t suppose to know the menu to enhance the experience) I made a conclusion that I should wait for the menu to evolve to something less basic, to something more exciting. Maybe in another 2 months, I hope.

And if you thought Dragon-i was an even weirder choice, it wasn’t because Fatty never picks the wrong restaurant. :)

20121220-021516
#1 I wanted to look sweet that night so I put on a pastel pink tutu. :)

Fatty insisted that we go for Dragon-i because he wanted me to try Hairy crab or å¤§é–˜èŸ¹ (dai zap hai) as we Chinese call it.
He often had it in Hong Kong and he said it was so good he needed me to try it.
So, why not?

#2 The utensils for our Hairy Crab.

There are probably a few more Chinese restaurants that sell Hairy Crab but we didn’t look into it.
Hairy Crab season is ending VERY soon so if you’d like to try, you can try googling for other Chinese restaurants if Dragon-i doesn’t suit your liking.

Dragon-i offers two different Hairy Crab menu price at Rm138+ and RM198+ or you can just purchase the Hairy Crab alone (buy 3 get 1 free at Rm198+).
We both went for the RM138 menu and if you prefer to have your Hairy Crab on weekends, it is charged at RM168+ for the same menu.
Take note: Minimum order is 2 pax.

#3 Steamed Shanghainese Crab Roe Dumpling, 2 for each of us. This is Xiu Long Bao with crab roe and it tasted so much better than the normal Xiu Long Bao. Besides the Hairy Crab, this dumpling is what I like most from the menu.

#4 Broth was so flavorful and sweet.

#5 Sauteed Fresh Vegetables with Hairy Crab Roe which I didn’t quite like just because I dislike that particular vegetable. Gravy with crab roe was good and we kept it for the fried rice.

#6 Fried Rice with Shredded Crab Meat and Egg White. Fried rice wasn’t as good as Rasa Sayang’s (cause Rasa Sayang has the best fried rice) but when mixed with the crab roe gravy, it was quite divine.

#7 Chicken Soup with Fish Maw that I happened to quite like. I really quite love drinking double boiled soup but I also wish that this chicken soup can be slightly thicker.

I was about 75% full when our Hairy Crab was out which is a bad sign.
It takes about 25 minutes for them to steam the Hairy Crabs and if you don’t mind waiting, I suggest you eat the dumpling and wait for the crabs.
Only when you’re done with your crabs, you get the waiter to serve you the remaining of the menu.

#8 We can either cut the crab ourselves or let the waiter do it and we let her do the job. I was too lazy. She opened the shell, cut off the legs and pushed out the meat.

It was a very good decision to let her do it. I am always lazy when it comes eating crabs.

#9 The Hairy Crab was placed back into place and notice the hairy claws.

#10 Vinegar for the crab which in my opinion is much needed.

#11 Best crab shell I’ve ever eaten in my life so far.

#12 Look at that crab roe! It was very different from normal crab’s roe. The roe was so thick and creamy, it sticks on my throat. The meat was very fresh and sweet too. As to why I said the vinegar is much needed is because you need to balance the taste.

Now I understand why Fatty insisted that I must try Hairy Crab.
It was so different, it tasted so good and I wish that I weren’t that full. I gave half of my crab to Fatty, lucky him.
As I type, the taste keep coming back to me and I so want to have a Hairy Crab right now.

The bill came up to RM360 inclusive of tax and service charge.
Do call and make sure that Hairy Crabs are still available at the outlet you wish to go.
We went to Pavilion’s Dragon-i and they only left with 11 Hairy Crabs that day.
It’s gonna be too late very soon, so hurry up if you’d like to try. :)

#13 Thank you for making sure that I try out some of the world’s best delicacy.

#14 And thank you for always looking so stupid in my pictures. :P

We’ve decided that for every anniversary meal, we must pick a cuisine different from the past.
Last year was Italian food and this year was Chinese cuisine. Maybe we’ll do German food next. :)

2 Years of Love :)

December 18, 2012 | Leave a Reply

Taking a break from posting my Singapore trip because I want to do a little shout out.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Fatty!! :)

I actually typed a long ass post weeks back but right this moment I didn’t want anything too formal.
These 2 years with Fatty has been a great journey for me and I especially like travelling to places with him.
It’s a blessing to have a travel partner who sees things the way you see it, who have same interests as you are.

I often wonder, did God figured that it was time to end my search two years back or was it fate?
Was it because of the chances we both created, was it because we were meant to be or was it because this is just another chapter in our lives which will eventually pass us by?

For whatever reason, I still truly appreciate having him by my side.
Those birthday cards he made me, the roses and gifts he surprised me were not the best thing he did.
The best thing to me was when he holds my hand in his sleep, when he kissed my forehead while I was fast asleep, and when he turned around and hugged me in the middle of his sleep.
I’m a sucker for those gestures because I believe if a guy doesn’t love you, he wouldn’t have do that.

At your worst(HAHA) or at your best, I promise to love you the same. :)

And here’s a song that I’ve been wanting to dedicate to Fatty all the while.
Listening to this song gives me courage. :)

And the best words that came from him – ‘I love you a lot’. :)
Now I better hurry up and get ready for my date. :) :) :)

Anniversary Lunch at iL Lido

December 29, 2011 | Leave a Reply

When it comes to food, the boyf tends to act like a ‘eating-professor’ (hence his size HAHA).
Special dates like birthday, christmas, and anniversary is truly a good excuse for us to dine a little better than normal days.
We don’t normally pick our restaurants randomly when it comes to dates worth celebrating.
There’s too many restaurants laying around in KL and I would prefer not bumming into a few bad ones.
We will do some research here and there, have a little discussion before we’re good to go.

Most of the time in the middle of our research, we’ll go ‘OH WOW! this looks damn good’ and ‘WAH SEE! Look at that beef!’.
Food blog is the root of all fats, in our case.
We just really cant say no to food. No ~~food~~ good food no life.

So this time for our anniversary, we decided to go for lunch instead of dinner for a change.
We picked Il Lido, located at Jalan Mayang which served classic Italian cuisine.
We made a reservation but this action is not needed because it almost seems like we booked the entire restaurant.
Empty during lunch.

* He’s the one who decided to have our lunch at Il Lido.

* I was a tad bit reluctant at first because I heard it’s pretty pricey until the boyf told me they do have lunch set menu.

* Il Lido – “The ultra-luxe interior, combined with the warm, inviting atmosphere, allows diners to ease easily into the experience.”

* Complimentary bread which I personally did not very fancy. Reason being that the taste of garlic in the bread is a tad bit on the heavy side. The taste of garlic lingers too long in my mouth and somehow affect the taste of my starter. There’s a mini fight inside my mouth when I took a bite of my starter.

* Amuse Bouche – which stands for ‘mouth amuser’ if were to direct translate from French. It is a little bite of food to amuse the mouth and different form appetizer, you wont be able to order it from menu. Instead it is selected by the chef accordingly. And the above is Tuna Carpaccio.

* Beef Carpaccio with Rucola, Parmigiano Cheese and Truffle – Rm39. Other than scallops and foie gras, the boyf likes carpaccio too and this is pretty good I must say. Wrapped the beef, rucola, cheese and truffle, stuffed it into our mouth and savour it.

I ordered Festive Season Lunch Menu that costs Rm88.
There’s two starters and three main dish for me to choose from.

* I choose Pan Roasted Scallops with Cannelini Beans, Carrot Jus and Bottarga as my starter knowing that the love likes scallop so much. There’s really nothing much for me to rave about this dish, sadly.

* And Pan Roasted Atlantic Cod with Smoked Caviar Sauce and Whipped Potato as my main course, also knowing that the love likes caviar. Did not like this either, especially the whipped potato because they whipped it with some almond and I HATE ALMOND A LOT BECAUSE IT SMELLS LIKE COCKROACH!

Boyf likes all sorts of expensive food! And I like all sorts of nasty food like cockles and pork intestine LOL.

* My dessert, Chestnut and Amaretto Parfait with Warm White Chocolate which I really dislike because I hate nuts and chocolate. What a combination!

I guess I just really dislike my set, haha. But it’s just preference and somehow the ingredients they used are foods that I dislike eating. ):

The boyf went for Degustation Menu instead, which costs Rm198.
He cant resist degustation menu, that’s for sure.

* Crab Salad with Watermelon and Tomato Elisir. This is a cold dish, it’s fresh and it tasted damn good, one of my favourite of the day.

* Pan Fried Goose Liver with Duck Terrine and Wild Berries Sauce. This is also my favourite. Their pan fried goose liver is one of the best goose liver I’ve tried by far. Slightly crispy on the outside and it melts in your mouth after the first bite. So flavorful!

* Homemade Spaghetti with Lobster and Spicy Tomato Sauce. Don’t find this interesting except that the spaghetti they use had a really different texture and I quite like it.

* Prime Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce and Truffle Potatoes. Boyf said hope it’s as good as Nathalie’s and when he took a bite he said IT IS really as good as Nathalie’s and when I took a bite I said no. Not as tender, I swear but I quite like the potato though.

* Molten Lava Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. I ate the ice cream while he ate the chocolate cake. In fact he dislike chocolate just like I do but he said it’s really good. Still I’m not interested to give it a try.

I figured that I prefer French cuisine more than Italian cuisine when it comes to fine dine.
I don’t know how to explain this but I just find french cuisine more ‘in-depth’ when it comes to taste or maybe it’s the restaurant I don’t know.
I’d still prefer Nathalie Gourmet anytime and also not to forget Bistro Ã Table.

But still I did enjoy my lunch a lot, especially with him by my side. (:
Our bill came up to about Rm400.

A year filled with love.

December 18, 2011 | Leave a Reply

This relationship is one of the best thing that has ever happened in my life, by far.
Best not in the sense that I have a boyfriend to depend on but it is from this relationship that I know there is actually someone out there who is willing to love me this much. It just gives me hope in life after taking in that much of crap from everything else.

I remember how a year ago, I was trapped in a dilemma.
I remember how people around me try to break us down at the beginning of the relationship but I also remember these few friends who were there for me all along.

However great the hardship, I never ever regret my decision a year ago.
And I dare say it is one of the best decision I’ve ever made, when some warned me not to because I see no wrong in the entire situation.
I feel bad and sorry but still, I see no wrong for all I did was to pick it up.
All the stares and bad talking, all the boycotts and whatnot, it is all worth it.
Some think it’s pure lust. Some think we’re just fooling around.
We both prove them wrong.

Here we are, still standing strong hand in hand after a year.
I cant tell what future lies ahead for us but I want to grow and learn about life together.
All I want is to treasure every moment with this person who brightens up my day, who never fail to put a smile on my face, who never fail to make me laugh everyday.

I am a person with absolute no patience, I get annoyed easily, I threw tantrum, I shout, I cried and I blame him for almost anything.
For all that, he still tries hard to tolerate and be patience with me whenever he can and from the bottom of my heart I truly appreciate it.
And for that, I control my temper whenever I can because I really do not want to be mad over the tiniest thing at the person who love me this much.
We both try to change for each other, not changing the personality but we try to eliminate all the negativity in us, trying to be a better person together.

That one thing that attracted me : his sense of humour.

Happy anniversary to the guy who â™¥ me the most (:
