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.

Funny Pics of the day

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.

Kobe Cream Puff at Palm Square, CPS

Kobe Cream Puff was opened recently at 4th Floor Palm Square. My daughter bought 4 pieces which costed RM10.00 so we can taste each flavour.

There are 3 flavour of cream fillings:-

CappuccinoGreen Tea

Vanilla

We were given a free voucher. Next purchase will be "buy 3 free 1 of any choice of flavour".

Growball Restaurant

Growball Restaurant is located at the 6th Floor, Palm Square, Centre Point Sabah, Kota Kinabalu.

Before entering you need to buy food coupon. You pay RM6.00 (1 choice of dish) for 1 set lunch and RM10.00 (2 choices of dish) for 1 set Dinner. All dishes are served with Rice.

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.

Positive Thinking for the New Year

Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is only a vision. But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day, for it is life, the very life of life.

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

Pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives.
Life is a canvas-you fill in the picture.
Purpose is what gives life meaning.
To find friendship, offer friendship.
You'll never get rid of a bad temper by losing it.
Every ending is a new beginning.
To know one's ignorance is part of knowledge.
Making the most of today is the best preparation for tomorrow.
You can't get anywhere unless you start.
Each day comes just once in a life time.
If we don't stand for something, we'll fall for anything.
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Fear is the parent of cruelty.
Your smile is the most important thing you wear.
Do good and fear nobody. Do ill and fear everyone.
Do not choose to be wrong for the sake of being different.
