Dinner at Duck King, Jaya One

We have been to Jaya One quite a number of times and but we never tried out Duck King before. Heard it was quite good and the place is usually full. So one night, we decided to head over and try it out. Did not regret it.

Appetizer. Could not quite figure out what it is

Rice with pork lard

Duck, of course

Char siew


Pork curry


2 style kailan


Mango dessert


Awesome durian dessert

The food was great. Would definitely go again to try out the other dishes.

Gelateria

After dinner at the Land-of-Roundabouts (Kota Kemuning) last night, we went for dessert at Gelateria. They serve ice-creams and also food. What's unique about their ice-cream is that they can design it in pizza, spaghetti and lasagna form!

Gelateria

Fruity ice-creams


Chocolaty/Coffee-y ice-creams

Raspberry and kiwi spaghetti. But look like worms

Chocolate and coffee ice-cream

Really worth a try!

Can't wait for HP7

Finally, the last installment of the Harry Potter series is coming this Nov 18th (Part 1) and the other half (Part 2) in summer next year.

The last movie didn't end as exciting as the book, so wasn't really hyped about the final movie. But after watching the trailer and seeing this poster, I'm pretty excited about it. HP7, anyone?

The Chronicles of Cheyenne

This post is dedicated to my niece, Cheyenne of the LittleCheyenneGirl fame. I've taken quite many photos of her, but have not posted up any before. I met her for the first time when she was about 2 weeks old.

Saw her again during CNY this year.

I want my pacifier

That's much better

I think I'll rest for a while

What chu looking at? You want to fight about it?

That's it! I'm off to grandma's!

I am a ninja!

Then again at Sophia's 1st birthday party.

Like my hat?

Having some girl talk with cousin Sophia

Few weekends back we were all back in my hometown.

*Yawn...Daddy please make a more interesting shape

I can sit!

Time really flies. Will be celebrating her 1 year old birthday next month.

Breakfast at the Departure Lounge

Few weeks back, I went over to the Departure Lounge at Uptown to try out their breakfast fair. It's a cozy place to meet over breakfast or brunch with family or friends. There are loads of books on travelling and boardgames to play. Nice place to hang out on a lazy day while it rains outside with a good paperback to read. *Sigh*

There are quite a few items to choose from, and you can even customize your own breakfast. This is what me and the bf ordered to share.

Of course, there can't be breakfast without coffee! Me likes their cappuccino. And they have nice foam art.

When waiting for the drinks, I saw some of the staff huddling over a cup of coffee and painstakingly drawing something. This is what they were up to.

Kawaii!!

Mooncake Festival 2010

When I was younger, Mooncake Festivals were celebrated by lighting my paper lantern (after that, it was upgraded to a battery operated lantern) and then someone would accompany me to walk around the housing estate. After that, we would light up the multi-coloured candles and line them up on the pavement outside the house and hang paper lanterns on the tree. Once a while, a paper lantern would catch fire, and we would have a bonfire show for a few minutes. :D

This year, i noticed that there wasn't much hype for the festival. Although there were mooncakes on sale, other than that, it didn't feel very festive. Me and the bf decided to have our own mini celebration.

First off, we had to get some lanterns. So we went to the most likely hypermarket to have paper lanterns. It was hard to find the plain ones with no cartoon features. Back home, we got ready all the items and hung the lanterns around our balcony. It was quite a challenge, as it was a windy night, but we prevailed.

All the equipments

Candles all in position

First one up!

All lighted up

Mooncake

We sat on the balcony for a while and enjoyed a slice of mooncake or two. After half an hour, the lanterns started going off one after another. The candles nowadays don't last that long, huh? But it was nice to play with lanterns again.
