Food makes you smile

Everywhere you go, you wouldn't miss eating....BABI.

Philippines is very popular of its roasted pork. Everywhere you go, u see barbeque pork, luncheon kawali, roasted pork, liempo, any of these are pork, main dishes I could say.

It's not difficult to order your food because they do speak English but different kind of slang. Malaysia = Manglish Philippines = Philiplish? We used very simple words and speak slowly so that they could get what we meant.

Tokyo Tokyo, a franchise, could be found in mostly shopping malls. I like their serving. Why Tokyo when I'm in Philippines?

Franchise couldn't be found in Kota Kinabalu. So worth trying!

Reasonable.For two person. RM 15 including this Philippines sweet drinks, I don't know what is it called. I'm sure you can accept the taste.

Hungry!!! That's the nearest shop to me. Can't wait to feel the crying stomach.

Beef teriyaki and kitsu Pork with beans sprout. They have special sauces for dipping the meat. Some of us would fine it taste, some of us would rather eat without the sauce. They seem fine to me. :)))

This shop is funny or either you would called it stingy. They weight every meat for every meal.

So that you won't complain, "why yours more meat?" Quite a lot of choices to pick too.

Another credit to Flapjacks.

Popular for it's pancake!

Blueberry with bacon~~ RM 14

Breakfast platter, huge sausage, scramble eggs and potatoes....nice!!!!!

and very very super rich oreo!! Love it!

Best Ribs in Town, tender and juicy! Although it doesn't look inviting, well, don't judge a book by it's cover. Never know until you taste it with your tongue!

Trust me, I don't need enegry to bite that meat!

Vanilla Apple Pie! Slurrppp!!

I eat so many good food, but there ain't any reaction to my body! :( ggeezz... oooppss...i mean that's a blessings! yee haa...

8 August 2008

I should update about my Philippines trip... I know I know~~~

But today is 08/08/08 and I wanna mark this date in my blog, in my post to remember I blogged! :D

I am very sure, many weddings are taking place right now, bride and bridegroom waiting for their turns, in the Marriage Registration Department (is that what they called? I can't think the proper one *ouch* Mind you, I'm blogging this between work), in churches, in beaches, in gardens, in any corner of the world they could be wed. ( owhh...I am attending a wedding dinner tonight )

And they are people who throw birthdays today. So nice! (and also a party after the wedding dinner)

Also, they are babies will be borned.

Not forgetting whatever anniversaries that can be celebrate.

The highlights of all - OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY - I saw a furniture advertisement "Olympics Sales" What's that gonna do with furniture? Reason to make a theme sales to attract customers. ai ai ai...*shakes head*

There must be a lot of things people want to mark it today, anything could be, so don't be surprise.

I shall end this boring post. But I promise I'll be back with pictures and juicy post.

bubyeeeeee~~~~

*Bang* kiss my "butt"

**Happily kena summon thrice this month! WEDDINGS! August lucky month?**

It is such a long day today. mmmm..............

Morning - I was running up and down in the office to get things done especially when the office fixed line was temporary cut off and also following up with the advertisement.

Noon - Backing up my own desktop and also my manager's one. Those were still fine.

Mum wasn't feeling well. I came home, no dinner, still it was fine because I wasn't hungry. [I find myself doesn't get hungry when I'm busy.] Clothes started to pile up and it's time to wash and un-iron clothes are filling up the lining. Off I went to iron SOME clothes. [I can't get all done, too many, oh dear, yet with some new apparels from Philippines ;) ]

It was then 10pm. Short chat with sis to update some gossips...I mean some urgent information. [No time for gossips, too late] 10pm + went to shower and Maggi for dinner. By now, I should get some sleep but I can't be mean to my readers!! I repeat, I CAN' T BE MEAN TO MY READERS! I really mean it!!!

***********************************
*BANG* [very loud sound]

I wanna tell you, it was the first time throughout my driving years, my car...err I mean my mum's car finally met an accident. I had my heart almost dropped out and I was super stunned when the lorry banged my butt heavily, which I still sited not knowing what happened [I thought dunia khiamat man, damn stupid!!!] and my mum was panicking and asked me to open the car's lock.



Took a look at the rearview mirror, darn! Kemek laa the car. Quickly searched for my mobile to call my dad what am I supposed to do. He was out of city at that moment. ishhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

That man whom kiss my car's butt kept asking me to move my car to the side. HELLO! No way..unless you gonna pay for the damage or I call the police. Long negotiation UNDER THE BLAZING SUN and passer by kept looking at me. I was wearing sleeveless and I got my shoulder burnt! Argghhh!! so UNLUCKY!



In the end, he only willing to pay RM 500 excluding the scratches and slightly break brake light. The mechanic came to make an evaluation of the cost repair. I really wanted to make a police report but the mechanic make me fear of doing so because he said I would lose more, telling me he would be paying RM300 summon only and I may need to come out with the repair cost. [By then, my dad is out of reached and the man insisted not to pay the light]

Long story short, rather than having nothing, we accepted the RM 500 and I have to fork out money to repair the damn expensive crystal light for no reason! Shit! It is now in the hospital for 4 days! Without a car doing its' job for 4 consecutive days and when all at home has work, gotta push the time earlier for staying awake [ equals to less sleep :( ]

It is really expensive, just knocking and re-spray the car cost RM 500. It is not a used car, it is exported to Malaysia after it is refurbish. I guess if it's Buatan Malaysia, half the butt has gone skiesss....

I thank God, I am still ALIVE.

My tips when you meet an accident.

1) Jot down car plate number
2) Ask for his name and IC no. [make sure you get his IC]
3) Do not move your car.
4) You need to report police within 24 hours. Any reports make after 24 hours, police will not look into the matter.
5) Settle it right away. Don't wait later or tomorrow. [ It will change into a different story, if you would have heard of other people's cases]

Please do save a mechanic number in your mobile. You might need them.

.experience gained which cost RM 500 of damage.

Comfortable stay

I don't know where I should start...blogging about the hotel, food, traveling experience, the things I bought or what I see??!!

Quite a difficult decision to make...because I wanna pour it all out to you! The photos I took in Vietnam were many more compare to Philippines~~

It is surprising when I saw only 100+ , well when others doesn't even want to stop by a minute for a shot - blame the alluring shops...hehehe..

I didn't bought one anyway....orang miskin bah saya but definitely slightly cheaper

and no cameras allowed in clubs and casino. See...happening places doesn't give me the permission to give you a glimpse. TOO BAD! means you gotta go there, see and experience it yourself ;)

I made up my mind. I'm gonna give credit to New Horizon Hotel, yeah I'm going to blog about it!It is a 3 stars hotel which you doesn't expect much. But the point is, 3 stars yang begitu satisfying!!!!

Spacious lobby

checking in - so bersemangat

This hotel gets my recommendation. All the basic necessaries are in your room and it's totally comfortable and reasonable for budgeted stay yet it's big which you only sleep in and the whole day getting around the city. (I bought it in airasia.com, package - return tickets and hotel)

They do provides toothbrush, soaps, shower cap and nonetheless you can request for hair dryer - that's important for me. Extra blanket in the build-in cupboard. No slippers in the room but available upon request.

There's this electrical kettle in the room, so no worries. Hot water for coffee or your own instant noodle is on the go ;)

My room

Oh ya, one thing, the floor is not carpeted which I don't really feel good. It gets cold when you're bare foot.

I miss snapping the toilet *sigh* okok...but there's bath tub. Big enough to move around and play kung-fu(I find chinese likes to say that when one took a long time to shower).

Small area on level 3 while waiting for the lift

Our stays included free breakfast for two. The food were just fine. Nothing to shout about. Very normal. No missing of ham, cereal and omelette in the menu every morning.

This hotel is located in Mandaluyong city, sort of like in the center. You travel East and West to other shopping malls. Around 3 minutes walk to MRT, cross a bridge, you reach Robinsons. Some food stalls on the street selling roasted pork (popular dish) and everyone's favy - Mc'Donalds (but no pork) and Jolibee.

Taxi are easy to get as the hotel will arrange for you. FOC and ask is there any extra charges from the taxi outside because taxis in the hotel impart extra charges. So advice able to call an outside taxi with the help of the receptionist and be smart, a meter taxi please. The cost of traveling its' cheap, don't worry.

Hopefully its' informative enough for you to plan yours! :) The currency exchange was RM 1 = 13.8 peso

.more to come.stay tuned.

Back to Home Sweet Home

It was a great trip because everything are cheap...and some are reasonable. So the money that I forked out, I still think it is worth it after all! If you're expecting to be a luxurious vacation, I've gotta say, it was a budgeted one ;)



The flight journey took about 2hours to touch down Clark,Manila, shorter traveling time to Kuala Lumpur.



I'll blog more in my coming post, I still need some rest after the very late lights off ;)

.weeeee!!!!.
