This is good. Cheese Garlic French Loaf
Mushroom Soup to dip in with. Can have a try.
Salmon tuna sandwich. No 2nd time order.
Fettuccine pasta with fried fish. Look at the size of the fish.
Hawaii chicken ham and pineapple pizza. Thin and crispy pastry. Nice.
Ha ha, haven't try this Giant Yankee Burger yet. Heard that the meat is very juicy and tender. It is their signature dish which is an 8-inches wide, 4-inches high burger with 2 pounds of juicy ground beef served on a large bed of fries. The serving sizes are enough for 4 persons.

Japan Boat Takoyaki at Wisma Merdeka

Japan Boat Takoyaki (aka octopus ball) is very popular here. Since its opening only a few months back, you can still see a lot of customers queuing for the food which is made of flour, a bit of octopus and some vege inside and topping with mayonaise, BBQ sauce, dried bonito flake and wasabi (if you like it hot).
You have to wait a while for your order because they serve you hot straight from the pan.
See, It is so round and fluffy.
There are 3 pieces inside the paper boat. Price : RM2.80
You should eat it hot. It tastes better.

Engagement Party

A photo shot of my niece and her fiance all smiles and in blue on their Engagement Party.
The Engagement Party was held at the groom's parents house. Traditionally, the bride's family hosts the social gathering to share the good news with family members and close friends. I guess that now we are in modern era so I think we don't necessary stick to tradition as long as the bride and groom's and their parents have earlier on got together and mutually agreed and accepted the proposal.

Anyway we enjoyed ourselves, having a great time, the food was great, especially the roasted lamb and suckling roasted pork and nice house. And it was also New Year Eve. Ha ha.
