dejavu

thursday the family thought to visit a place where when I was growing up I use to frequent.. ages ago when I was about 3 til I was prolly about 7 or 8....

It has changed so much... It was no longer in its glorious form, the way it was back then... and its such a sad thing that.

a place that has the potential of being a hot spot for tourists and locals alike to have good simple food. The view is breath taking.... we were there late in the afternoon, spent a while just talking nonsense and having a whale of a time eating the much famed satay.

the view of the sun setting down was a sight... now this is life :)

my char kuew teow... yummm... the portion plenty... struggled to finish it.
the brother ordered chicken and chips... nothing like lolita's the famous kebab joint in paddington. But appetising nonetheless... but if ada the garlic sauce ouuuhhh yum!

Fresh coconut yummmmmmm

Feast your eyes on theseeeee yummmy yummmy satay~

kuah sataynya nyamannnn hehe

hebatkan juicyness nya... hahahahah drooling about now? hahah

bukti kenyamanannya... liat saja cucuk satay ahhh...

cemanakan kurus...

Pesta makan seperti biasa... when there is a birthday we eat like there's no tomorrow. Cua tia liat.... macam makan 10 orang.. hahahahah yea its a typical brunei experience... we live to eat!


green curry... nyaman lagi masa the first time we ordered... betukar chef kali...

seafood tom yam... banyaknya sotong and udang... hmmmmm bolehlah... nyaman jua masih masa the very first time kami cuba.... yetah sayang ni nada consistency in the taste...

baby kailan... nothing can go wrong with this one of course.

one of my favourite dish, century eggs deep fried and seasoned with a light dressing and lavishly sprinkled with crunchy greens a real delight to have

ayam pandan...

dulu rajin orang membuat ani terpaksa kekadai kalaukan makan hahah... ada storynya ni... my mum nda terhabis ayam pandannya so i voulenteer kan habiskan... sebiji plang saja. tapi bila my mom put the piece of chicken on my plate tau tau ada masih my ayam pandan! my brothers all chimed in "sadangggg" hahahahahah rasa jua kan ambil berkat mengabiskan makanan indung hahahahahahahha apakannn hahahahahahahahh

disuruh posing... macam urang putus cinta tia pulang.. ngam lagi setting nya hahahahah

my first

I've heard about it... but I've never experienced it for myself... Korean cuisine.

So when my sis suggested we have a go at it, I jumped at the chance hehe..

They have a variety and it all looked appetising... one of the brothers couldn't quite say he is as enthusiastic about it... I loved it on the other hand. But I don't know if that is how it is or maybe they over seasoned it cos most of it was a tad on the salty side..

the cutleries.. a delight, hahah having seen some korean movies make you go sakai over using them for yourself

My top fave, for the dishes we tried, is the open grill and having the hot tender meats wrapped in salad leaves... crunchy yet tender and simply put.... delightfully tasty.

blast from the past

My first drink when I landed in London many many years ago was...

TANGO!

So it was quite a delight to see it being sold in the local supermarket.

they must've had it real new on the stocklist..... I caused a massive queue cos the cashier couldn't get the bar code recognised by the scanner (considering only two of their counters were open)rasa jua kan merasa minuman "eksotik" ani... So much for wanting a taste of the past... u know the feeling... the feeling when ur taste buds triggers memories from having the taste of what u had once before... again :)

One man's opinion

never knew this dish could stir up such a review click here

Ambuyat.. an acquired taste.. love or hate.. just like marmite. And it is understandable that good writers would know how to manouver his writing so that people would keep reading to the end. And in so much as I have the pure blood of a bruneian cheeewah.. hehe bangga kali ahh jadi anak jati brunei nyenta :) back to what I was saying... offended yes... but its all just another man's perspective and a good writer at that..

Can't force the guy to love the dish we grew up on.. as for his writing well I guess I probably would write something like that if I were to comment on a less than palatable foreign dish... like say... blood sausage... feasting on a concoction of blood and lard... ouuh tasty.... emmm no thank you.

or maybe... mustard... I use to hate the yellow goo, looks like it came from the rear end of a bird and smells of baby's puke.... but with time and with the help of Mc donald's burgers I learned to tolerate it... and eventually.... with the discovery of ceaser salad dressing recipi , I absolutely love it.

so biarkan tia menulis articlenya atu kalau nda ya menulis kna marah ya sama boss nya and jua dengan nya menulis atu he's putting us on the map cos there are still quite a lot of people out there who don't know about Brunei. Manatau ada yang curious sangat kan merasa ambuyat tani atu, cos kekadangnya ada insan-insan yang sangat-sangat curious kan tau kesahihan cerita atu sampai di cubanya sendiri nah kan menambah kan lagi revenue kitani dalam segi tourisma. esehh hahahahahaahah kambang luir ku menulis hahahahahahahaahh
