Things yang mempiss off kan hati ku...

Last weekend pi the Curve kekonon nak pi makan Dim Sum yang diwar-warkan cheap RM1.99 per dish. So sampai no seats available. Time tu baru ada dua couple infront, so katalah nak table for five (including two kids).. the waitress boleh kata.. oh dim sum kami dah hampir habis, only limited selected.. WTF its only 1.30pm and supposely whatever offer dari 11 am till 4 pm. Kalau dah tahu org ramai sediakan lah banyak dim sum... Well my point is the waitress tu seolah-olah nak suruh we all give up and blah dari situ. So aku tanya tak jual makanan lain ke? Kami boleh order jugak and take whatever dim sum yang ada.. Then i fill in the waiting list - tetiba ada empat ekoq chin chin merie makan cik bi, datang and demand seats.. and boleh tetiba waitress tu kata nanti sat... without having to fill in the waiting list list.. gue sudah hangat.. and kata.. I am here first and if I see that group dpt seating before me, I will be piss off (my exact word.. but maybe the waitress yang ngok tu ingat gue akan pi kencing... sebab memang wa nak terkencing pong)

Then tetiba memang lah chin chin merie makan cik bi dpt seat dulu.. aku dah hangat.. dah la kata tak cukup dim sum, depa dpt table akan dpt choices yang ada dulu..

Never mind that... service punyalah slowwwwwwww Dim sum tak sedap langsung... tapi sedaplah sikit dari kedai mamak dim sum... beli kat pasar jelutung punya dim sum pun sedap... Ali order ice lemon tea tak mai main bila tanya dia kata coming coming.. so sampai budak tu menjerit ice tea coming-coming tapi tak coming pun.....

ok tu cite makan tak sedap kat EDEN the curve, we did order spaghetti with meatball, and mixed grill..... ish kurang memberangsangkan.
Gambor tak de sebab camera cung tinggal kat keta... But between us, tiga adult and dua budak makan 19 dim sum, kalau ada lagi pilihan memang akan makan yang tinggal hanya kaki ayamm atau nama glamournya phoenix feet chittttttt

Episod service yg tak bagus ni continues pulak today .. kat KEnny rogers

Wa order lamb chop meal.... and dah kata separate sauce ye.. depa angguk.. but teka adakah lamb chop itu dtg dengan separate sauce.. tidak...
Wa also order roasted chicken salad.. it comes with a muffin sebab semua meal dah ada muffin, so wa dah instruct, satu muffin terus tapau... nopee all four muffin dtg together gether
So semua org dpt our meal, makan makan, then teringat eh mana salad aku.. tanya and then baru depa buat.. so makan makan then teringat eh bukankah salad ni sepatutnya ada telur rebus... So ni gambar salad tu... yang banyak iceberg lettuce, carot parut agaknya adalah sesudu, and sumpah empat hirisan bawang merah.. and heap of thousand island sampai masam benda alah ni.. and tujuh hirisan roasted chicken


So panggil waitress eh salad ni patut ada teloq kan? eh cik order blaa bla tak de teluq.. gue kata pi tengok menu book tu... THen depa dtg balik kata ok nanti akan hantaq telur.. kami tunggu lebih dari fifeen minutes, dtg lah teloq panas-panas.. baru depa nak rebus and bagi gue teloq to put on the salad... memang ngok and gue rasa mesti dah banyak customer yang kena shortchange one teloq....


itu lah alkisahnya catatan blog tanpa gambar hari ini.. decided to upload gambar teloq panas

Ni salad dah elek bila teloq rebus panas sampai.. piirahhh service haprak...





Masa nak bayaq pun wa bagi mastercard, dia kata mastercard tak ade.. di pi bawak jugak ke cashier lepas tu kata tak de.. then wa nak bagi visa.. lepas tu depa kata systems down.. CAKAP la awal awallllll ngok...

Of yesteryear memories

Today I listened to an old Hetty Koes Endang song ... one of the lyric goes
"Dulu, segenggam emas kau pinang aku, Dulu, bersumpah janji di depan saksi."

and I had a sudden flash back on Mr. Monkey (No! I don't like flash back even in movies). Off course there is no fisful of gold...but there were promises made. His and mine. And all promises were broken or worst both of us make empty promises.

Mr. Monkey... sometimes I do wonder about "US". What if...? But we do not share the same dream and how can we be.

Floating Market, Elephant Rides and Ayuthuya

Friday morning.. went to floating market.. 700bhatt for two person sampan ride. tak sampai one hour pun
Our driver.. Vilmol. segak jugaklah for a siam guy... 43 years old.. rerupanya dulu Cikgu fitness (wa rasa cikgu PE aje) teach tennis, swimming (he laugh went I told him I teach swimimng tooo unbelievable!!!) Susah sikit, dia tak tau cakap english...

After floating market went to go on the elephant ride...500 bhatt each after "we same same country cheap cheap la" so got 100 bhatt discount. No actual picture on the elephant..

Mr Fitness and the elephants


I was shocked, as the elephant spank my bottom hard..........




I thought this is a good picture of Mr Fitness nibling on little fried fish for our lunch.. somewhere near ayuthuya..

The lunch yang best




This is the famous buddha head in tree... dekat ayuthuya.. Got story.. there a signage there saying do not stand over buddha head..

So when taking this photo, I was standing, and suddenly a zap on my lil' paha. Then another...


This is the caretaker.. can u see the small stick behind him.. he used that to zap zap me... i was standing and NOOOOO when taking photo with the buddha head u cannot take it while standing...... I tought the word do not stand over... maksud jangan panjat panjat kepala buddha tu.. cheeettttttttt

Cerita ceriti Bangkok

Last Christmas, I was in Bangkok, and then less than three month after I got to go again.... now fully sponsored. It was 5 days trip, at the airport decided that I want to extend it until the weekend. I can always stay at Nina's. Cheap and clean. Changed my ticket.. and how stupid... did not bring extra cash with me (this turn to be a big spoiler for me later.. how to shop if u have no money kan?)

The first day, sempat gi Chathucak, this time no fire, but we were there at 5 pm and the market suppose to close at 7 pm. Buy giraffe t'shirt for 230 Bhatt, that's nearly RM25 man..Did not buy anything else as proudly said, I'll be coming again next Saturday..

The next day .. the whole work thing.. Except for the organiser, the crowds seem unfriendly...What did I do the whole day... observe and shoot ,

Second night.. we went to Suan Luan Night Market.. What the heck? another London's eyes thing in bangkok.... Well! Malaysian is so original they called it Eye of Malaysia. Thailand's was Rouge of Paris.. well I'm sure the whole thing came from Paris.. Fees - 150 Bhatt .. How does it feel? Oklah.. but make sure u spend your time up there watching the views.. instead of talking... then suddenly its time to get off.. hmmm habiskan bogheh aje




Second nite..seafood dinner at one of the restaurant along menam chao phraya...superb

dinner ketam. The gravy super delicious...


udang garlic yang succulent and moist and tak tahan tu, garlic dia ketul-ketul and sedap gile.. wa pulun kutip and makan


tomyam.. they are made from coconut juice and there was some young coconut meat with the tomyam.. make it more sweet.. Patutla dulu time Keith Floyd taruk ayoq nyoq dlm tomyam wa gelak kata si Floyd tai tahu apa.. rerupanya wujudddddd


pulut durian.. dapat gak makan pulut durian.. the durian cost me 50 bhatt and beli pulut santan another 20 bhatt... sedappppppp



Thursday morning went to Golden Palace.. just to take photos...


The rest of the team sudah balik.. left Maj n me.. So from holiday inn, we check in into a service apt.. Eagle nest hehehe near pratunam area. 800 bhatt per day. Oklah just a place to crash at nite.. This is the view from the apartment


Managed to eat my thai laksa...


That night.. went to an Indian restaurant.. Curry pots behind Baiyoke 2. Order garlic nan.. beautiful, half tandori chicken. This only come with mint sauce.



So I asked.. can I have some dhall .. Well this was sent to us .. tak penuh bowl pun...

And to my surprise THIS IS THE BEST DHALL I've ever tasted.. sedap gileeeee
When we received the bill.. the dhall cost 70 Bhatt.. but worth every cents..
Worth going there for the dhall.. cubalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
