Christmas CountDown Party at Peek's Cafe and Boutique

Location: Nusa Bestari, Johor Bahru

24 December 2009, the Christmas eve, but we still have to work as vets on that day. After work, we still have a life out there. And we have a dinner at the Peek's Cafe & Boutique for the counting down night.




The Starter was a pizza for 2, turkey ham, cheddar cheeze and topped with shredded fried sweet potato. Never tasted any pizza like this before.

Starter came along with the glass of champagne, 2 little blueberry floating on it.

Minestrone soup with 2 pieces of garlic butter toasts







Roast Chicken and Turkey Ham for 2 as One of the Main courses

Lamb chop, at medium

Seafood platter for 2, butter cheese rice, breadcrumbed fried fish fillets, calamari, grilled prawns and muzzles.



2 choices of Mocktails came with the main courses.


Bread pudding with vanilla ice cream



Chocolate Lava Cake is the best dessert I've wanted.

Seconds before counting down to Xmas, getting ready with the props...

Hurray! Merry Christmas!

North Borneo - Sabah Trip (Day 1)

Finally, a trip to North Borneo - Sabah was planned 1st time in my life.

Taking off with cheap flight Airsia, again, waiting at Gate No.3 in Senai International Airport

The 2.5 hours flight made my tummy waiting hungrily for the lunch... and so upon arriving at Kota Kinabalu, we headed to Damai for our lunch at Houng Kee, which serves traditional handmade fish beancurb (鱼腐, 沙巴五宝之一).
A corner shoplot in the backstreet like this, ones who never had any define research of nice food will never find it.


The handmade fish beancurb in soup of tomatoes and sour-salted veggie, of very Hakka-style.



WE loved the noodles here, always very chewy and smooth.


Next, we go around the town in car.
This is known as Yayasan Sabah Tower, was built in 1977, now it has been transformed into the "@mosphere" Revolving Restaurant at the 18th floor of the building.
It is one of the famous landmark in Kota Kinabalu.


Also known as Menara Tun Mustapha, named after Tun Datu Mustapha, a former chief minister of Sabah.

The antique luxurious car owned by Tun Mustapha, displayed at the ground floor.







Dotts Egg Tart can be found at the Lower Ground floor of 1Borneo, the largest shopping hypermall in Sabah. IT serves freshly baked crispy creamy eggtarts.

Our dinner is at a seafood restaurant called WELCOME.... located at Penampang.


The chef recommended Seafood Tofu. 招牌海鲜豆腐

Spicy crabs 甘香炒螃蟹

Mongolian chicken 蒙古鸡

薑葱沙白

Spicy pucuk manis 辣炒树仔菜

and this sumptious dinner only cost us less than RM70!!! There is definitely no where else u can find seafood as cheap in West Malaysia.

This restaurant is always crowded with people even during weekdays.


Although the Star Inn we checked in for the 1st night was not very pleasant, I still managed to take some shoots in the humble inn, the owner is decorating the hotel in a very unmatching manner.
