sexiest country

Headed back to Ipoh to spring clean the house 2 weeks back for the upcoming CNY.  

The first stop was lunch at a restaurant in Ipoh Garden if I'm not mistaken for Lei Cha. 

 My favourite soya bean shop in Ipoh. During the holidays, it can be pack with cars and people queuing up as Funny Mountain has a drive through concept but you can get faster service if you queue up at the stall instead :)

 Another popular destination in Ipoh, Lou Wong which serves ipoh sar hor fun, bean sprouts and chicken. The curry mee is yummy too :D

Walked around the streets after dinner and spotted a nice lantern. Too bad it had to be pre ordered for a week, so we bought another one.

Had dim sum for breakfast the next morning at Ming Court :)

 nyam nyam~

 Peranakan style food at Restaurant Yum Yum for dinner (will do a seperate post for this!)

 Managed to catch the Thaipusm procession which was happening on the streets.

Tiramsu java blend at Folie-Folie.

 Breakfast at KarPin. The teh ais is a must try :D

Rojak and desserts at the food court located at the Ipoh Stadium before heading back to KL :)

Stall 36 and 38!

Brought along Amelia, Sharmayne and her bf this time for lunch few weeks back to catch up as we were busy with our own activities. The macaroons this round were not that yummy somehow :(

Tomato soup with cheese that Amelia ordered.

Seafood Aglio Olio.

Berries Tart with chocolate mousse on the bottom :D

Durian cheesecake. Sharmayne loved it but it didn't sit well with my taste buds...

The loving couple :)

With the girls :)

Few weeks back, Glow came down to KL and a few of us blogger met up with her at Pavilion. Was late due to the slow KTM but managed to meet most of the bloggers like Shah and Doris who left early due to work.

Suresh, Shah, Glow, Me and Xing sans Tikkos and Dorris
Had lunch at Carls Jr. and it was fun chatting with them.

We moved on to Snowflakes for dessert.

Suresh's cake.

CNY decorations were plastered at every corner at Pavilion and we decided to take the opportunity to take pictures. It would be a waste not to with those lovely decorations...

Tikkos, Glow, Xing, me and Suresh

It was a great day with many stories shared!

Next gathering with the bloggers will be this coming Friday for Lou Sang :D

Spent the weekend at the mall with the parents. It's been a while since I went out with them so we went off to Midvalley in the evening after spring cleaning a portion of the house for this coming CNY. There is still so much to do! How I wish I can be dismissed for housework because I always end up getting down with flu after cleaning the house. Dusts, always the culprit. pfft!

Decorations at the Centre Court of Midvalley is really outstanding! There's this little stalls around selling little trinkets and CNY cookies too. They even had drum percussions but I didn't manage to catch it.

Lion heads and sugar figurines

Looking at those CNY decorations at Midvalley really kicked in the festive mood!

Went over to The Gardens to look at the CNY decorations. 

Lovely flower arrangements

Peacock made out of flower arrangements too! Awesome :)

 Sorry for the lack of updates! I have so many things to blog about but I was busy for the past few weeks, working and going out with friends. New Year is passing by really fast with CNY coming less than a month away and I'll be starting uni really soon!

Bought more stuff from Sasa which I might do a review on next time!

The cousin, Regina came over last weekend and we decided catch up over dinner. Went over to SS15 for Korean food at Da Sa Rang which is located above McD.
 

It was a pretty quite day at Subang and the roads were smooth as it was the first day of 2011. I guess everyone headed off to KL.

Ordered and patiently waited for our food which took some time to prepare.

Luckily for the complimentary side dishes that Korean restaurants always serve before meal, we got to fill in our stomach a little instead of waiting for our food with an empty, growling stomach :P

 

Kimchi Jeong Gol, RM40. It's kimchi soup with toufu, meat, dukbokki (rice cake), glass noodles and veggies. The pot was pretty huge, good enough for 3 person. Me and my cousin ordered this with bap (rice) and it proved to be to much for us. In the end, we're so stuffed! Should've go without the bap but the Kimchi Jeong Gol is awesome :D

Samgyeopsal, RM27. I love korean restaurants because you always get to fry/bbq the beef yourself, but I was pretty disappointed this time because they cooked this in the kitchen for us :(

I guess if you order more meat or come with more people then they'll let you use the stove? With 2 person, perhaps they'll save more electricity and gas by cooking the beef in the kitchen. And you'll have to order at least 2 sets of samgyeopsal to get the lettuce to wrap it with. It you order just one, they won't provide you the lettuce. Err..no thanks, I'll just enjoy my kimchi jeon gol and samgyeopsal. pfft.

 
Having a hearty meal! We were so stuffed at the end of our meal that I've forgotten to take a pic with my cousin.
T_T ...next time~

Da Sa Rang's Kimchi Jeon Gol is highly recommended. The service is pretty alright, not to say very good either because it's hard to call a waiter when you need them but they are friendly. The environment at Da Sa Rang is pretty cosy. At the end of your meal, they will serve a complimentary serving of watermelon (1 person 1 slice) and a sweet drink which I'm not sure what it's called but it was pretty refreshing for after meals :)

Da Sa Rang is located at
Lot 82, Jalan SS15/4D,
Subang Jaya,
