My gluttonous trip to Ipoh

Greetings from the me who had spent the last 13 days watching movies after movies and dramas after dramas. From all these, i've at LEAST spent 50 hours in front of the monitor or the TV. Thumbs up for me anyone?

Anyway i accidentally had bangs don't ask me how is that possible it's just possible so you won't see me having pictures of myself with bangs at all wuwuwuwu T____T


Anyway. I just wanna tell you guys of a 2D1N trip i had with my family (except my sister cos she's halfway across the globe now) to Ipoh, and that trip was filled with AWESOME FOOD i tell you AWESOME AWESOME FREAKING AWESOME!! And i learnt a lesson during this trip ; never be lazy to stuff your camera in your clutch and hope that your brother will take lots of pictures for you to upload on your blog because at one time he will say you're annoying and sweep you off *hides in a corner, drawing circles on the floor * - those who watches Ouran High School Host Club, it's what Tamaki always does huhuhu


So yeah. I still have pictures, but not those that i have mentally captured in my mind so that i could tell you guys and share the happiness i had while consuming those heavenly food *eyes gazes in the sky*

Okay. So we went to this Restaurant called :
Kok Thai Restaurant in Tasek. It's a Chinese restaurant. Just in case you were like the guy that sat beside me at the table, thinking that it's a Thai restaurant (:
Psssst that was an awesome bowl of fried rice btw but we were too stuffed to stuff them into our system anymore so a lot of them were gone to waste. Boooooo

Before i forget, it's my father's 30th anniversary in ExxonMobil dinner. ExxonMobil is such a great company that cares for its employees, i would love to work there one day. Eh no joke i seriously think it's a good company. How many companies care so much for their employees? (Apart from having anniversary dinners, there are so many other benefits too)


This was the menu of the night, and my father's boss's boss asked me what it's written there (he's white)...... and the only thing i could only tell him is that i THINK the fifth dish is a vege. I humiliated the Chinese race i should be hung to death T.T

AND THIS.

THIS...

THIS :
Was the BEST crabs that has ever, ever EVER entered the premises of my mouth wtf i can't contain my excitement  i can still taste the sweetness of the crab meat in my mouth om nom nom nom.... *almost delusional now*. Alaskan crabs cooked in egg white and XO. Ommmmmm T___T I'm gonna die if i see this again huhuhu #hyperventilates


Okay this is a very common sight especially for Chinese at a Chinese wedding dinner. But this time, it's a little different. The way of eating. They provided lettuce, sliced nangka, apples, and water apple (googled 'jambu air in English' lol). How do we eat it? We get a small piece of lettuce, add a few slice of each of the fruits on it, and a slice of piglet's skin. Finally, we put a teaspoonful of the sauce provided, wrap the lettuce around, and MUNCH. When the captain first demonstrated how to eat it, it was the first i've heard of it and definitely thought it will definitely taste weird. But somehow the adventurous side of me decided to grab all of the ingredients and put them in my mouth... OH MAI GOODNESS. It was good i tell you. It's like, the sweetness of the fruits are collaborating with the fragrance of the piglet's skin and the sauce, together with the crisp of the lettuce... Hmmmm.. It's a new experience, and definitely one of my best (: See? You shouldn't just stick to one way all the time.

Okay that's about all the food that i thought was so  so SOOOOO good i had to tell you guys about it. The other courses were the same old same old.

Here's an artsy-ish picture of my chinese tea in a wine glass :P WHAT? They all drink it like that too lol. They had beer in the wine glass too.

And somewhere along dinner someone brought this to the guy next to me (my dad's boss's boss) to let him try one of my dad's friend's favourite drink. Am i confusing you i hope not.

Lo and behold! My (probably) only favourite beer (: Todi+Stout. I was never a fan of Stout (or any beer - except German beer), and i had never tried Todi before, but i decided to give it a try after all. IT'S SWEET I TELL YOU. I'm a sucker for sweet drinks huhuhu i'd get drunk fast this way =.=

And after that i decided to give Todi itself a try. (Btw Todi is fermented coconut tree flower juice? I DUNNO LAH i don't even know if i got the spelling right :P But yeah that's more or less what it is)
SWEET i tell you it's sweet *sobs tear of happiness* And it's a little fizzy. According to my brother, it's still 'breathing' so if you put it in an enclosed bottle the bottle will explode. Facts are ever interesting, aren't they?


That's fruits. Haha just showing you cos i have so limited pictures and so much to tell i don't know what else to put.


And that's how i looked like that night from a very fat angle thank you very much Aaron. Or i should just spend more time on that cross trainer T_____________________________________________T <--very long cry because i know how flabby my arms are.

Btw this is right after i had my accidental bangs so i was slopping jars of wax and cans of hairsprays to keep it up. That'll explain why it looks a little weird hahaha.

And that's our table without Aaron cos he took the picture. Pretty girl sitting right across me imagine how my self-esteem felt the whole night T__T She's pretty quiet though. Or maybe i just looked like i was gonna gobble her up when i talk to her lol. But we kinda got to talk in the toilet (of all places) to freshen myself up after all the Todi i had :P I was as red as a lobster you know. Maybe a lot more red than a lobster.


So that's for Day 1.

Next day no pictures i'm so sorry i left my camera at my aunt's place and went out for breakfast cos i thought there weren't going to be anything worth to take a shot for. HOW WRONG THOU ART YOU DIMWIT! That's my inner voice scolding myself. We went to this AWWWWEEEESOME dim sum place which i forgot the place wtf =.= I kept telling myself to remember the name cos i'm gonna write it in my blog but when i came back, one thing came after the next and therefore the very belated post. I'm gonna pledge to take my camera no matter where i go even though it's so heavy with a full metal body T.T

Okay no pictures nevermind i HAD to tell you about this particularly bun (pao). Let's see if my descriptive skills can make your mouth water like no tomorrow! Okay this pao.... The size is almost the same as my palm - very cute. And the filling was.................. lin yung and salted egg yolk. Go google lin yung lah i don't know how to describe cos i've been told that it's lin yung from young. It's like a kaya-paste-like thing. OMG I TELL YOU it's like eating molten gold *sniff* The minute i sink my teeth into the pao..... my gums and my teeth felt very hot cos the filling was very hot at that time hahahaha but after that it was like.. Ohmmmmmmmmmmm. The consistency of the bread and the filling was a match made in heaven! I know i'm using it wrong but i'm just showing you how well they taste together. I took two of those paos because it was THAT good :P I hope i never live in Ipoh cos i will definitely be as fat as Jabba from Star Wars in 3 months omg omg.

Well, that summarizes my gluttonous trip to Ipoh. Maybe i should invest in a light and small compact camera, sacrificing better picture qualities so that i'll be able to capture every moment i want to huh? I'll save that for some other time. For now let me go back to the delusional state of mind, flashing through the mental snapshots i had of the yummilicious omnomnoms.. Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........................
