This is a MUST try yogurt as recommended by Lionel Sim. It tastes so much better than those Nestle and Magnolia yogurt. Well, the price is of course costs more. But it's worth the price.

It's really smooth and there are lotsa flavours. I chose Strawberry Cheesecake. (No worries, it says, '97% fat free') It looks special and I'm curious of the taste. I've tried the Kiwi one.

Stingray vs. Slipper Fish

We were having a drink at Point One, BDC. Sadly, there's no fruit juice and food there, due to Gawai and they even have the next door restaurant's menu. Lionel ordered Hockien Mee Hoon which looked very dry and tasteless. Angel and I went to the coffeeshop near Point One to hunt for some Stingrays.

There's a BBQ stall and Mr. StingrayGuy insist that we take the big piece of stingray which is like 700g. That is so much, too much for the two of us. We requested that he cut that into half, but he refused and said we can finish it. Grrr.. Mr. StingrayGuy then took a smaller piece but it didn't look fresh so we rejected it. After a short consideration, we told him we'll come back later.

We headed to another seafood stall, called BBQ Seafood (something like that). There's no stingray. There were some fishes and three squids displayed. They were two black & white fish (Oh Pek Hu), some call it slipper fish aka Flounder (I think it's called Flounder). Found some information describes this sorta fish.


My definition: It is called black and white because the bottom side of the fish is white and the top is black.
Google's definition: Flounder keep near the bottom, swimming on one side, and the two eyes are both on the side that is uppermost.

Now at the market, it is RM11 per kilo. Here, it is sold RM3 for 100g, RM30 per kilo. See how people nowadays make money?

Well, I didn't take a picture before eating the fish, but I took a picture of it after we ate it. hehe...

Anyway, I managed to find the simple recipe of Ikan Panggang over the internet. Those of you who are interested, you can try them.

IKAN PANGGANG (Grilled Fish)

All over Malaysia and Indonesia, Ikan Panggang is a common and popular dish you will find, particularly in coastal and riverine areas. Good things come in small packets and using banana leaves is an easy way (and environmentally friendly) for the locals to wrap their fish and grill it. Using banana leaves, which you can find frozen at Asian grocers, semi-steams the fish and retains all the juices. It also allows you to add things to the package, like sauces, and not have them dripping all over your barbeque.

Ingredients:

1 medium sized firm fleshed fish (2 1/2 lb) such as flounder, mackeral, snapper, mullet or bream.

1 rectangular piece of banana leaf, large enough to fold over the fish and have extra room available.

Salt to rub over fish.

Method:

1. Clean fish, make diagonal cuts on each side.

2. Rub a little salt over the fish and into the cuts. This is optional and need not be done if you are using a saucewith a lot of salt in it.

3. Wrap fish in banana leaf, folding it over on three sides and and securing the banana leaf with toothpicks.

4. Grill or barbeque until cooked, turning several times to avoid the banana leaf burning. With a small trout approximately 4-5 minutes on each side.

5. Unwrap and serve with a sauce such as Sambal Assam, or on its own.

I hope you all not as disappointed as I am. tee hee..

Take care and God Bless..

s e n s o

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

s e n s o is a stylish place to chill out, the Hilton's newly refurbished bar. It offers a selection of specialty martinis and cocktails. The resident DJ's mix of French house and acid jazz, plus first rate live music, add up to a very back atmosphere, unlike a hotel bar. -http://www.sarawaktourism.com

The company, a new travel agency, I'm currently part time-ly working for was invited to GTA's Agents Appreciation Night at s e n s o, Kuching HILTON. weeeeeeee~~ That means I'm invited too. kikiki...

I arrived at the entrance at about 6.45pm (Starts at 6pm). I was late, very. At the entrance, my colleague, Adeline (so sorry for her, she was waiting for me since 6.30pm) and Ms. Wee and Mr. Stephen Leong (the GTA agents) welcomed me. *malu seh*

The interior design is really nice and cozy. I don't know what else to say, just one, the chair I was sitting, I don't really like it, coz I couldn't sit back. I had to sit up straight. grokkkkkkk... There were many familiar faces, but couldn't recall their names. All travel agency in Kuching that supports GTA were invited.

This is behind the bar. Look at those food. *Slurps*

Well, my main purpose to s e n s o is the food. hehehe.. Since it's a cocktail party, I expected those goodies such as cakes, finger foods and good drinks. Eventually, I got what I expected, good cakes, good finger foods and definitely good drinks.

There were chocolate almond cake, coffee or capuchino eclairs, meatballs in some chilli and tomato paste, popia, sio bee, curry puff, fruits (local fruits: honey dew, papaya, watermelon & pineapple), prawn crackers (keropok udang), local kuih and tissues displayed at the bar. On the tables, there were a basket of muruku, candle in a kontot glass, a menu, a bowl of GTA sweets (specially imported from Indonesia), and a card at the size of a post card. We saw other tables got a plate of crackers with it's sauce and olives (MmmMmmm.. olives~), a bowl of peanuts, and some other goodies. So we ordered those too. tee hee..

There's also waitresses walking around holding a tray of finger food: smoked salmon on bread, chicken on honeydew, and a spoon of something, I didn't try it. First, we were all served with softdrinks and beer. Later that evening, wine is served. I had 3 servings of wine and a glass of sprite.

It ended early at about 8.10pm. The GTA booked the whole place for the evening only. Later the night, it is opened to the public.

Introducing DiNe with Anna

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

In my high school time, I had a dream of having a restaurant of my own, "DiNe with Anna". I can't remember whose autograph book, but there's one friend's autograph book, I added in a kolaj of "DiNe with Anna".

Where did I get idea of changing "aLL about AnnA" to "DiNe with Anna"? Well, it all started when my Principles of Marketing assignment requires me to create a restaurant in my residential area. I have to create a restaurant name, and immediately i remembered my dream restaurant, "DiNe with Anna". kikiki... The idea of the name inspired me to blog about me eating or making the food.

I wanted to start blogging all about it but, I was packed with assignments and exams. When holiday (less than a week. *pif*) comes, I had to prepare myself for the new semester. Later, when I got used to the new sem, I am packed with assignments and exams again. Erks.. Who said studying was easy??

Secondly, I'm getting bored of writing about myself, and as if there is anyone interested reading them too. Anyway, it is way better to write something informative for others to read and know what we are taking into our tummy. Well, who doesn't like eating? Not all good looking and colorful food is healthy. There are some food that looks good, tastes good and good the body too.

Thirdly, I always receive forwarded mails which are very informative too. Therefore, I think it is a waste to keep all these information to myself whereby I can actually share with everyone and make others' life more colorful and beautiful. hehehe..

I sure hope you all would give comments on my entries so I can improve myself and maybe you can also give some ideas on how to make this a lot more interesting.

Anyway, 'Help me, help you'. HAHAHAHA..

Enjoy and take care~

You are logical and smart. You are good at sizing up other people. You like to make friends. Be careful of a tendency to sometimes act cold or selfish. You're great at thinking up excuses when you tick somebody off! Sometimes you're a bit too quick to judge, but in general you have good social skills.

Image hosting by Photobucket

You are influenced a lot by others. You find it very hard to say "No" to people, especially when you are pushed. You are sweet and caring person. Your friendships are close and you are a loyal pal. Quite often, you are taken advantage of because of your nice nature. Being giving is good, but remember to stand up for yourself.

Image hosting by Photobucket

You have very strong opinions about things. A lot of times, this causes you to disagree with other people's ideas and feelings. You question authority and it's normal for you to challenge social rules and regulations. Being forthright is great, but watch out for hurting people by mistake. Others may be more sensitive than you are.
