~+Run Forrest Run+~

"Life is like a box of chocolates.." Remember this quote from the movie Forrest Gump.. An unforgettable quote indeed. Does anyone remember what Forrest promised Bubba when they came back from the war. Forrest promised Bubba they would catch shrimps together and open a restaurant named Bubba Gump. I had a chance to dine in Bubba Gump Restaurant in Sunway! Experience was fun!

The atmosphere there was very cozy indeed. The tables were divided into two sections, smoking and non-smoking. Price was reasonable for a once in awhile dining for a unemployed person like me. LoL.. Food and beverages are simply superb!

At the restaurant they have a system on how patrons should order or request for assistance. Thank goodness the friendly waiter told me about it since I was a newbie there.

To order or request for assistance, we flip the plat to Stop Forrest Stop.

If everything is fine, flip back the plat to Run Forrest Run.

Cool system aye. In my opinion it's better rather than you have to lift and sway your hands in the air or the typical Malaysian smooching sound to get the waiter's attention. Unfortunately it's not good for the itchy hands of kids or adults who still feel like a kid. My friend kept playing with the plats. The waiter kept coming to our table thinking we had something to ask. I felt so sorry to the waiter for my friend's itchy hands. Sorry bro! ;D

Strawberry Lemonade & Blueberry Lemonade.

Superb! The sourness of the lemonade and the sweetness of the strawberry/blueberry was a perfect blend.

Onion Rings.

Also superb! It was a huge tower of crispy rings served with 2 types of sauces as appetizer.

Trash in the Bucket.

Funny nickname for this dish but taste simply ridiculously delicious. It's a bucket filled with deep fried shrimp, fish fillets and lobster tail served with a lemon slice, cajun sauce and butter sauce.


The bar to enjoy a pint of beer or cocktails while watching the World Cup re-runs or Forrest Gump movie. Fun..

Do drop by Bubba Gump for a friendly, fun and delicious experience. with family or friends I will definitely go again to enjoy a bucket of shrimp.. ^_^

~+Korea Town+~

This post is kinda late but I'll just post it. ^_^ This happened during my trip to KL on the day South Korea vs Uruguay for World Cup 2010. My trip up to KL was to attend a wedding and I happened to stay overnight. Since that night was the game of South Korea vs Uruguay, where else would be the best place to watch the match but at Korea Town itself in Ampang. I call it Korea Town coz most KL people would know that Ampang is populated by Koreans. The experience was awesome!

Koreans and locals all gathered at a parking lot to watch the game together. Young and old Koreans equipped with inflatable blue sticks (I have no idea what it's really called), drums and cheers!

They were very friendly. There was also slices of watermelon served to everyone to quench their thirst from the excruciating hot weather. Really nice of them. Everyone was like one big family there.


When Korea scored their first goal, everyone cheered loudly accompanied with the sound of beating drums. All cheers were in hangul (Korean language) which makes my experience extra exciting. Felt like I was really in Korea. LoL...

While I was there, I was curious to see a few youngsters eating some sort of ice cream. A food lover I am, I walked into a Korea supermarket and bought one.

This is chocolate flavor.
(easiest on the taste buds for something new)

This is kinda minty flavored. It taste more like F&N Fizzy Pamelo.

This is how it looked like inside the package. I love it. No drips. ^_^

I had so much fun on that night. I also managed to eye a few cute Korean guys. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to intro myself and snap a picture or two with them. I was too busy cheering for South Korea team. My most memorable moment.

~+Gimchi Saranghae+~

Yes Korea is making a statement in the world with their K-pop music, dramas and food. As a food lover, I'm addicted to gimchi. The spicy and sour cabbage eaten with rice, stew or wrapped up with a piece of BBQ meat in a lettuce leaf just makes my mouth water.

The first time I got hooked on gimchi was during my dining experience in an authentic Korean restaurant here in Melaka. I got so addicted to it til one day I decided to search how to make my own gimchi so that I could enjoy it anytime I want.

Chinese cabbage being salted for an hour or two.

Self-made gimchi red pepper paste.

Finished gimchi ready to be fermented.

Gimchi can be eaten straight away but it won't have the sour taste. By fermenting it at room temperature for at least 2days will make it sour. After 2days, gimchi can be stored in the fridge for 3months or more (depending on how frequent you eat it). My gimchi always finish within 3months. Lol.. Gimchi can be eaten as a side dish as Koreans do for every meal or it can be added to make Spicy Gimchi Stew, simply awesome and delicious.

A small tip, eating gimchi can help you loose weight because it is good for your digestive system. My friend actually lost 3kg and I lost 2kg after 1month of eating gimchi everyday. The result may differ to different people so don't take my word fully. I'm just giving a tip that I've seen with my own experience. Go ahead and try some! ^_^

~+Heineken Star Party+~

Woooot!!!!!!!! Heineken Star Party was off the roof. Heineken is currently organizing Star Party all around Malaysia. Every weekend they will be in different states and in different bars. It so happened that they were organizing Star Party at Arena Club,
Melaka last Friday the 11 Dec 2009.














Whole night was all about Heineken. We ordered a crate of Heineken. I know crazy right. Fear not we didn't get wasted. There was 8 of us so you can do the math. How can one crate get 8 people wasted. Anyways, the Dj was awesome. Whole night was house trance and R'n'B.



Saw the table centerpiece kinda resembles a crown so what the heck, put it on and took a picture. The Queens of Heineken. ;p


A few of my friends who went along. I didn't take a lot of pictures coz I only had a camera phone and as you can see it's not so good. But at times like these, a camera phone is reliable don't you think. Overall had tones of fun.

~Happy Mother's Day Mummy~

It's been so long that you've gone away,
but the pain of losing you is still so strong.
I still wonder to myself where are you,
and how are you?
Can you see me,
can you hear me?

Sweet memories I had with you still brings me to tears.
Remembering you cooking my favorite dish pricks my heart with sadness.
I know tears won't bring you back,
wishes won't bring you back either.
All I hope for is that my prayers reaches you.

So on this mother's day,
even though you're not here,
I sent to you a prayer and my love as a gift from me to you.
Where ever you may be,
I miss and love you very much mummy.....























Happy Mother's Day to every mother in the world and especially to those who we have lost..

Arabian Night

My university is filled with lots of international students. When I say lots, I mean LOTS of international students. Its not a handful where you can count them easily. Regarding to that, mamak stalls near my university is getting lesser and are replaced with arabic restaurants. There are still chinese and mamak stalls around, it just takes further walking distance.

One new arabic restaurant caught my attention. Its always packed with diners from the moment it opens at 9am or 10am til the moment it closes at 1am. So I went there to check out what all the fuss is about.

I ordered as below:

Mandy Meat RM17
(Grilled mutton served with colorful Basmati rice)

Mandy is grilled with spices til cooked and dry. The outside is dry but the inside is still moist and juicy. The rice for the Mandy has the grilled smokey taste as well. Besides mutton, there's also chicken RM10. Chicken is cooked so perfectly til the meat just falls off the bones.

Kabsa Meat RM14
(Slow cooked mutton served with Basmati rice)

Mutton is cooked slowly with spices til moist and tender. The meat just breaks apart easily. The rice is also cooked slowly with spices til dry but still very moist. There's also chicken RM8 and the meat just falls off the bones easily.

Traditional Dipping Sauce
(Blended tomatoes, chilli and cilantro leaves)

My comment:

Wow!!! Marvellous!! The mutton is really tender and juicy. The rice is just nice. Neither too dry nor too wet. The whole meal is best eaten with the sauce. Perfect.

Beside these two dishes, there's also one more dish called Pressured Meat or Chicken. This dish is served in a very large portion. There's only two prices. Meat : RM20 or RM40. Chicken: RM15 or RM30. Why is there two prices you may ask? Well the first price is the amount for a 2 -3 persons portion. The second is the amount for 4 - 5 persons portion. The dish is served in a traditional way where everyone eats from one huge plate placed in the center of the table. At first I found it weird that they do that but when I asked a friend who has been to Arab, he said that everyone there does that. He says that they serve the rice with meat in the center on a huge tray and everyone shares. Fun and interesting but of course I wouldn't mind sharing the same plate with someone I know closely. With strangers I'd think twice or even thrice. Hehehehhe...
