New Year's Eve BBQ Dinner (2009/10)

Seems like Im telling my stories backwards....isn't it special ?? teeheehee...Im going back to the past...the very past...

The end of 2009 was just around the very small corner . Yes !! Within a few hours time,  2010 will replace 2009 ! Since everyone (relatives) was around, a BBQ Dinner was suggested and POOF !! the planned went well as planned ....

I went to work on the 31st Dec 2009, so I was not there to help out much with the preparations ler...The aunts, my mum, and sisters did almost all...

What I saw in my aunt's house when I got back from work 

wrapped corn & sweet potatoes

What was going on in the kitchen ?

Aunts were busy preparing fried rice.

It was for those who can't wait to eat as BBQ-ing those uncooked food takes time.... 

and also the preparation of Gwai Lou Ikan Bakar 

1. Prepare some fish fillet ( Dory fish will do)

2. sprinkle with some rosemary, herbs, and also black pepper...

Be creative !! Use your own imagination to try out new recipes...

3. wrap , wrap , wrap ...

4. ready to be BBQ-ed...not eat !!

Aunt JJ did another recipe as well ...

Tanjung Aru (Sunset Quest - K.Kinabalu Trip 2009)

A trip to the seaside nearby K.Kinabalu's airport popped out of nowhere after my parents,Aunt JJ and I dropped off Sis Marina to be on her flight back to Pen. Malaysia.

Tanjung Aru is the name of the place .

And we have been recommended to watch sunset there lah....

The place was occupied with a few food-courts with stalls mostly occupied by Malay / Indon tenants...

Investigating the place...

We simply chose one and ordered some 'snacks' since it was quite some time before the sunset moments came...

BBQ-ed Chicken Wing & Satay as snacks

Some time later, the rest of the gang came to join us. They too, came to watch the sunset which I suppose is famous looooo...

I, was busy snapping some memories of the sunset ....

Looked like some spaceship wanna land down...

The sun was swallowed by the clouds as minutes passed...

The whole sky turned red ...

I even thought I was in MARS . haha!!

The fiery colour slowly died off...

That's the final scene!!

Too bad the clouds were in everybody's way to watch at a magnificent sunset ...

If not, it would have been better..

Then everyone left the place and continued on another venture !!

* Comments on food / snacks = OK OK Lah !! I prefer Kampar/ Lawan Kuda's Satay more...

Ocean Seafood Village (Kota Kinabalu trip 09)

This event happened a long long time ago....back in 2009 when I attended my cousin sis's  wedding in Kota Kinabalu. Only now I have the drive to share my makan experience with my dear readers...!!

Sis Belinda belanja-ed the whole gang makan besar in a famous seafood restaurant right about 5-8 mins walk away from our rented apartments. The place looked 'grand' to me lah. 

Looking at the interior at the front also made me 'felt' like 'Dun play play ooo'. Later the LOBSTER eat me up ...

After we got a table for ourselves, a few adults went to KEPOH at the area where all LIVE seafood were displayed. Actually 2 adults were in charge of ordering the dishes ...I, who tagged along also wanna witness these sea creatures maaaa...

Abundant of choices for customers to choose 

Some pics I managed to snap 

The HAARRDD SHELLed GANG 

The Thousand Legs GANG 

ABALONES in plastic bottles...one good way to recycle -lah !!

The STONE Fish.I wonder if it's flesh is as hard as a stone 

We waited while we munched on some appetizers ..

& ALAS, the food has arrived :-

Chicken -loh 

Steamed fresh prawn - the flesh was succulently sweeettt !!

Fried SOFT SHELL CRAB - FRAGRANT n CRUNCHY ....slurp slurp..

                      Steamed Fish - I liked this method of preparing a FISH DISH !!

TOFU something something ...couldn't even recall dy !!

Can't leave the veges maaa... 

Last but not least , I have to express my appreciation for the experience of eating in this restaurant during my trip in Kota Kinabalu ...THANK YOU , SIS BELINDA for the treat...kekekeke

In truth, I dunno the price for the whole dinner, so dun expect to get any answers from me..But surely it costs a bit expensive to eat in Ocean Seafood Village lah.
