Balik Kampung Ramadhan Feast @ The Eatery Four Points by Sheraton Kuching

Balik kampung~ Oh oh oh~ Balik kampung~~ Oh yes Ramadhan is coming soon! I'm so looking forward to all the food available at those bazaars. It's only once a year! Yum! While I can't wait for those food stalls, I wanna thank Four Points by Sheraton for inviting me to a food tasting in their restaurant, The Eatery. I think they must have known that I crave for those good food eh. Hehe =P 

I've been to The Eatery once for their buffet dinner but that was during the normal days. Let's see what have they to offer for this special Ramadhan. I'm sure there's something different since they named it Balik Kampung Ramadhan Feast. Can we find a kampung in Four Points? 

Cakes! One thing that must NEVER be missed during Ramadhan or should I say Raya season. Oh I love cakes especially kek lapis but I'm wondering where is it eh? Fear not! This is not the only cake available. But you gotta wait til the dessert session. I'll make sure you say your RM80 is worth the pay! 

Oh before I go on. Just a lil information. Price per pax for this Ramadhan buffet is RM80. Mark that down. RM80! And if you actually bring a group of at least 10 people, you can get discounts! Did I just say discount? Yes I did! How can it be any better than having discount for the good food you're eating?

Ok ok. Let's just continue with those food. I'm sure you guys are eyeing the photo below already.

Introducing to you, well it's my first time encountering this dish too. It's the midin shrimp salad! I love my midin but midin shrimp salad? Love them even more! A great start for a buffet dinner. I mean, where else can you find midin shrimp salad as appetizer right?

Presenting to you, the main attraction. The roast Arabic whole lamb with Basmati rice! Oh sweet love! The lamb is so tender! Though I would love if they give me varieties of sauce to go with the lamb then it will be perfect!

Ok so everyone knows I love Penang. I love the place. I love the people. And I love all the food there! Ok I lied. I don't favor Penang assam laksa. Haha! I didn't try this Penang assam laksa because I'm still standing proud of our very own Sarawak laksa which I think is the best laksa! Hehe =P Sorry Penangites~ Nevertheless, to all you Penang assam laksa lovers, my friends did mention that this one's a good one. Do go give it a try!

Beef cooked with tomato sauce. I'm a huge fan of beef! This one I rate 8 out of 10. Awesome stuff! No it doesn't taste like any of those bolognese spaghetti you had. This one is cooked at just the right rate. The exact sweetness and sourness. Wish I have another tummy to store this! =P

Alright. DESSERT TIME! I love desserts! And so does everyone else! Right right right? Hehehe =D Normally I can have a small plate of appetizer, another small plate of main course and then I will have 2 rounds of desserts! Oh yeah!

This is something new to me. I love pastries! This one's an eye opener. Arabic pastry! It's called the Arabic Baklava. It has a strong history saying it's way back from Turkey. It's actually layered breads. But as the era change, the preparation of Baklava changes too. Nowadays they layer it with walnuts, pistachios and even hazelnuts. See the shiny top? It's actually honey syrup being soaked into it. Baklava is always served in triangular shapes.

Hmm......I think the preparation is rather easy. Maybe, just maybe I'll give it a try. I mean bake it. Not eat it. Haha! Oh of course I did eat this! How can I miss out any dessert. This one's crunchy and sweet~ Yum! Another thumbs up!

This is our local favourite, kuih cincin. Guess what, the first time I ate this was actually 2 weeks ago =.= I know I'm such a fail Sarawakian. I've seen this available at every Ramadhan bazaar but I don't know why I never try this. And now that I've tried, I regretted that I didn't get to know about kuih cincin earlier. It's so good!

You think that's all for their desserts? Oh your expectation is just way too low. I'm just saving the best for last. Hehe =P

Another chocolate cake! This one's topped with strawberry and has more layers of cakes than chocolates compared to the previous ones. Oh sweet like chocolate~

You know what's the bomb for their desserts? It's this cheese cake! It's a MUST TRY!!! Seriously! I was aiming for all their chocolate cakes until Ivan told me to try their cheese cake so I did. And I fell in love immediately! No not with him but with the cheese cake. Haha! Oops! But I was too shy *ahem* to get more slices cos one, it's cheese (Ok don't show me that face cos I'm not gonna mention that word) and two, I have to save it for other people ba kan? See I'm so nice. Hehe =P But seriously! TRUST ME! You've really got to try this cheese cake!!!

So tell me. With the midin shrimp salad, and the roast Arabic lamb with Basmati rice, and the Arabic Baklava, and most of all, the cheese cake! Tell me that your RM80 is worth it! Those that I ate are not the only dish available, they've so much more that I can't finish trying! Like the Indonesian bakso soup, the beef serunding rendang pizza, bubur pedas and the Arabic Omali. They've so many dishes to try and that is why I'm so glad that Four Points actually gave us a complimentary voucher.

Oh yeah! It's a complimentary voucher for buffet dinner for 2 persons. Now, who's to be my date? Hehehe =P

Wanna make a reservation? Do call this number 082-280888. Ramadhan is just next week. You better be fast before all the food are gone. Alright. I need to go date someone for this Ramadhan buffet. Oh and please save me some of those cheese cake! Thank you! Heee~

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Resident

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
