How To Get A Free Domino Pizza

Aitelyu, those guy will never arrive late.  If you really want a free pizza from Domino, gotta try some dirty trick.  It happens to me accidentally so I’m sharing my experience with you guys now.

The answer is……:  Order a pizza during rainy day!

Since we are talking about pizza, which outlet do you usually go to?  Currently, my favourite is Domino cos they have this awesome Secret Salmon Pizza aka Salmon Sausage Pizza.

Other than that, their Chicken Lasagna is much better, 100x better than Pizza Hut.  It really melts in your mouth. And, and that cinnamon bread is out of this world!

Ramadan Bazaar (Manglish Post)

Jessie: Helo? Kak Z! Puasa ke tidak?

Kak Z: Ish, tentulah puasa.

Jessie: Ah lah, manalah tau, mungkin datang period.

Teheehee… the above is my usual opening conversation during the fasting month whenever I called to check chat with the gahment (spelling mistake on purpose!) bodies. I even use the opening line for a male! Anyway, it is good karma to make someone laugh especially early in the morning.

As usual, Hari Raya is not complete without a visit to the Ramadan Bazaar.

What is the food you must get? For those tengah puasa, proceed at your own risk ya ;)

  1. Buah Melaka aka Onde Onde - I love those with generous stuffing of gula melaka (palm sugar) and the almost unforgotten heavenly feeling of lava exploded in your mouth.
  2. Roti Jala - Can never go wrong with curry chicken. This is something that I must have. Have you tried the one with potatoes wrapped in it? Those are good too. Something like curry puff.
  3. Kuih Bakar Berlauk - I love this and I have the recipe too. But you know me la, L.A.Z.Y!
  4. Drinks - Someone have to educate them on food colourings. I think the blue ones is champagne flavour. *yikes*
  5. Popcorn chicken (spelled as C.H.I.C.K.E.N. B.A.C.K.S.I.D.E!) - I tried to stay away from those if possible. They are too good to be true. Fried chicken backside is sold at RM1 for 10pcs. But my sis got hers at RM1 for 11pcs because…………….. because of me! *ahem* I was busy snapping pic at the stall. The makcik probably thought that I’m a Journalist and gave my sis an extra piece. rofl….
  6. BBQ chicken giblet - … sehingga menjilat jari *smack lips*

  1. Roti Boom - Made from roti canai with inner fillings of sugar and lots of margarine which makes them very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  2. Ayam Percik and Nasi Tomato - BBQ skewed chicken with kuah kacang (peanut sauce). HEAVENLY!
  3. Satay - My son’s favourite.
  4. Lemang - Rumah siapa ada open house????!!! Nak makan!!!!

So, puasa ke tidak, Sila?

Me? i asyik buka saja. :oops:

… and so, I declared Saturday a Public Holiday!

In conjunction with the Agong’s (King’s) Birthday last Saturday, Hubby suggested we eat out at The Lobsterman in SS2, PeeJay. You think he’s too patriotic issit?

Alamak, photo editing skill a bit cacat today. I have a bad hair day for the above pic. Thought wanna diversified your attention to the lobster. This is not the biggest in the whole wide world but I’ve never seen such a H.U.G.E lobster before!

Do order a charboiled if you wanted to taste the authentic taste of lobster meat. That night, we had:

  • Lobster in XO sauce. It is something similar to kong pou stir fried.
  • For the kids, they had Lobster and seafood rice. To be corrected, the kids had the R.I.C.E and adult wallop all the lobster!
  • Lobster with fruits yogurt
  • Two serving of salmon pasta
  • Garlic escargoat
  • Two serving of Charboiled lobster (the one in the pic)


… and so all the food is gone now, and the red wine too. What are we waiting for? Dessert! We ordered gelato. It came as Green Tea Gelato. We can’t argue right? We should have ask for their flavour. I gave that a miss cos Green Tea gelato or green tea ice cream is not my cuppa tea.

… and so….

… errr….

….errr, I am dem shy la!

… how to put it la….

Nah, read for yourself!

Shy la. Just shy. So old liao wanna announce to the whole wide world that it’s my birthday. To add on to the shyness and paisehness, this New York Cheesecake was from Ms Anonymous! I can’t revealed mia name. Thank you BIG-BIG Ms Annonymous :) . When the waiters and waitresses brought out the cake, they was singing the international birthday song. And you know the line where they go… “…Happy Birthday to XXX”, they pause a bit and was looking at the name on the birthday cake. Hubby quickly tell them “Jessie”. I almost fall off my chair laughing!

So now you know the Agong and Queen share the same birthdate ;)

I saw Nicole Kidman in Planet Hollywood!!!

Talking about Planet Hollywood everybody also get excited liao. hehe… Really! Nicole Kidman was there. I’m not pulling your leg. Let me show you the choronical of that night. And who say only angmoh country got blue sky? Look at the 1st picture above and tell me what colour is the sky. BLUE!!! It’s BLUE!!!

A week before, I called up Planet Hollywood to place a booking. The conversation goes like this….

Aminah: Heloooo
Me: Hi. Can I check with you a few things? Do you allow children to dine in your restaurant?
Aminah: Hold on.

(And there I am, holding on. And still holding on. And holding on…. till the line disconnected. I called them for the 2nd time…)

Aminah: Helooo.
Me: Hi. Do you allowed children to dine if your restaurant?
Aminah: Hold on.

(And there I am AGAIN, holding on. And still holding on. And holding on…. till the line disconnected. I called them for the 3rd time and this time I’m kinda pissed.)

Aminah: Helo.
Me: DO YOU ALLOWED CHILDREN TO DINE IN YOUR RESTAURANT!!!!
Aminah: Hold on.

(She just yelled across the room which I can hear very clearly. “Bang, tak tau aper dia nak la”. Wah lau, you tell me you angry or not? When that abang take over the receiver, I gave him a piece of my mind! “For goodness sake, if she don’t understand English just say so la.”)

Oh, excuse me for a moment. Son need to go wee-wee.

My oh my, see how elegant is their gent washroom.

Wait! I can explain on this….. Oh, nevermind. Who’s interested to hear anyway (*whistling away)

I better go check out the Ladies washroom.

Wah, why so scary wan? The shark is supposed to be in the Gent’s and not here. Nevermind. I love them anyway. It brightens and cheer up the atmosphere in here. “Can I bring my food in here?”

Talking about the food, I’ll give them 7/10. Some dishes are really nice. But their salad is nothing to shout at.

Presentation skills was excellent.

Every nooks and corner in Planet Hollywood makes you die for camwhoring.

They are all so nicely design with a taste of Hollywood basically everywhere.

They even have a shisha’s room. This is me again… camwhoring in the shisha’s room :oops:

Hmm… very familiar huh. Where did I see them before…… oh, it’s my new banner. Duhh.

Do you know what is a Shisha?

shishapheeweett…. sui jar boh.

And we eat, and talk, and laugh, and argue…. A big happy family with 11 adults, 5 children and 3 babies!!!!


Which Planet are you from?

How do you make a blogger happy? - throw her a digital camera and give her all the permission to click away. That is all what a blogger ask for :)

I’m saving the best part of the event for last. Nicole David Kidman!!!

-_- Check out the small print at the bottom -_- Looks like they sent the lip print for colour copying and distribute to all the outlet. Potong stim hor…

This is not all. I have tones of pics of the place safely store in my memory stick. For example the hand prints of celebrity on the white cement. You should check out Mickey’s hand print and his signature!!!! I love them so much!!!! And they have table football to entertain the children and adults too. Not forgetting the live band which started at 11pm so that you can jam away. But I won’t go back there for their food that’s for sure. Wanna know what’s the damage???

Custard Apple & Jujube

Custard Apple come in green or magenta. They are soft when it’s ready to consume. Apply some pressure by pressing on the skin.

The flesh is milky white. It tasted juicy and sweet. The art of enjoying them is, take a mouth full of flesh, wiggle your mouth with the coordination of your tongue and teeth to seperate the flesh from the black seed.

Don’t swallow the seed!!! Spit them out. Repeat the whole process again.

JUJUBE aka Red Dates

The usual red dates found in Malaysia is sun dried. They look like this.


Common huh.

This is the fresh ones from Beijing. And no! I didn’t go to China.

You can see some is still green but the fruits will turn red when it is fully ripe.

Jujube

Taste sweet and crunchy. But the skin is a bit hard. So it makes them… chewy.

New Food Not to be Missed

Chipsmore

But I think it’s on the shelf almost a year now. No chance to taste a bite. Princess gobbled up the whole packet in 2 days time all by herself!!!

So colourful I wonder how much colourings is in the choco chips. :mrgreen:

Kit Kat

Malaysia only have the cappucino flavour. Dunno how’s the taste like.

But if you happen to be in Singapore, must try their various flavours like cheese cake, strawberry sakura and many many more which I can’t remember all!

Pink to me is always for strawberry flavour and for goodness sake, does japanese eat their cherry bloosom? This is sakura flavour!!! It taste….. bland…. HORRIBLE!!!

Of course Lemon cheesecake tasted better than eating a flower, right. It has a tinge of lemonade sour. Just a little tinge. Nothing to shout about. I’ve tasted other finger wafers that is better than Kit Kat.

For your information, I bought the sakura flavour from Singapore which cost me S$5 (RM10), whereby the Lemon Cheesecake flavour is from our local Giant hypermarket which cost me only RM2.99 for TWO!!!

Pizzaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

After the 1st try, I still go back for more. I simply love the cheese and less crust that is what matter most!

Ketchup Wantan Mee

Black soy sauce wantan mee is quite common everywhere but if you are in Pontian Kechil (yes! with the ‘h’ please), do not get alarmed if your wantan mee turn out red instead of black.

Wonder where does the orgin came from - ketchup wantan mee. Funny thing is, the whole town is selling ketchup wantan mee and no one is selling dark soy sauce wantan mee. Right amount of seasoning (i.e. light soy sauce + sesame oil) and sauces (ketchup + oyster sauce) makes one float in heaven with just one bite.

This stall owner has been in business for almost 20 years now. There are 2 shops that is quite famous of their wantan mee - Heng Heng Wantan Mee or this, 933 (yes, the Sillyporean radio station 93.3). I’m ok with either one. The noodle tasted the same anyway.

I’ve been eating this since 12 years ago when I first set foot in Pontian Kechil.  And whenever we go back to visit the old man, life is not complete without having a plate of wantan mee. Like the saying goes - Bread can’t live without butter, wantan mee can’t live without the pickle green chilies.

Not sure about you but I have a bad habit. Every mouthful of noodle must have a ring of the pickle green chili to goes down with it. And of course, there must be a bowl of wantan (pork dumpling) soup to go with the wantan mee.

errr…. do you want me to go on as how bouncy the fishball is? aitelyou, it can do 5 bounces on the table before rolling off the table!

Sandwich for Lunch

What do you had for lunch today? Malaysian usually had rice or noodle for lunch. On very very rare occasion do they take a sandwich. To me bread is for breakfast as it is less hassle to prepare. On occasion where you see I had sandwich for lunch is when I am really really broke or on a diet ;) .

But… today is neither one of the above. One of my sis make me sandwiches for breakfast. Not one but TWO sandwiches :!: Hmm… I wonder why. Maybe the other sandwich is for hubby but he is on a business trip this morning and I forgot to remind sis about that. Oh, fyi Sis is staying next door where we tore down the fence so that we could actually cross over at each other compound easily without ringing the bell.

I finished one sandwich in the morning and darn! Told myself I gotta blog about it. aitelyou, it was so so good!

3 pieces of white bread with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, mustard (*slurpppp), mayonese, ketchup and chicken patties. Told you it was good. See, even the caterpiller (with legs???) enjoy them. Not forgetting a cup of hot English tea to go with it.

I took a bite, then another one. Wow, check this out…

This is double chicken patties! She had never make sandwich as good as this. I would have to admit. This homemake sandwich win hands up to those cafe’s sandwiches.

I have to say sandwich without mustard was bland. I am totally head-over-heel in love with mustard. You should try Ikea’s Hotdog ala self serving of mustard and cucumber pickles which is so so good.

The mustard still linger in my mouth and around my teeth joint while I pen this down. Ahem, excuse me while I get some flossing here.

Klang Dry Bak Kut Teh

I’m sure you have heard lots of good review about Klang BKT and the ever famous and common type is the soupy with lots of herbs in there. There is a shop selling dry BKT.

Dem! Makes me hungry again by looking at this pic.

They are cooked in savoury thick gravy with shreaded cuttle fish (yau yee). For first timer, they will thought that it is salted fish. But to someone who cooks, wtf, the smell of cuttle fish is so different from salted fish, you know!!! A few ladies finger was added to the sizzling claypot. My view on this? It is better than the soupy type. At least something new to my tastebud as we have been eating BKT for donkey years. Also a bit sien liao.

This is my favourite part. It’s the end of the leg. I’m not a lean-meat person. Basically of the mixed type. Fat skin and a little lean meat in them. Yummy.

Location wise leh…. just those shoplot outside my house and if you want to know where my house is, kindly e-mail me. Anyway, Klang not very big la.
