A Night In

We decided to forgo the traditional Friday Night outing this weekend. For the last few nights after staying at the apartment, we hardly stayed in. I had been shuttling the family back and forth from Gombak, while loaning our maid to Anita’s Mum. Tonight, we got our maid in, and Anita cooked at the apartment. I would be on call tomorrow, so might as well enjoy a cosy night with the family at the apartment.

Don’t ask me how long it would stay cosy though as my boys had already started creating a mess. The school holidays had started but for Sri Utama, it would be another week before they start their holiday. And straight away, we would be doing a bit of traveling to Singapore.

So, night in. The TV is on. Dinner was waiting. A nice cup of coffee after that …. Happy Friday evening all …..

Another Birthday Do

On the evening of her birthday, Anita had another treat. So, in the end she had three dinners. This time around, it was with her parents and brother. Her Mum wanted a Chinese dinner, so we went to Ming Palace at Corus Hotel.

Nice place of course, but the food was a far cry from Lala Chong in terms of freshness and cooking. And the price, that was a different matter completely. Thank God I did not have to foot the bill!

Idlan putting his points acrossWhich Irfan found hilarious Let's drink up ...The cake came next None the less, we enjoyed the dinner. It was topped up with another cake after the dessert. That can't be healthy.

Mother's Days

Noticed the plural at the title. I'm blessed to have both set of parents still around, and for the weekend, that meant a couple of dinners. Friday, I took my Mum to Rebung in Bangsar. My Mum prefer Malay food. And earlier tonight - Saturday - we went to Corus Hotel. My Mum-in-law preferred Chinese food.

On both nights, we were caught in the rain. And the traffic was pretty bad as well.

The dinner at Rebung was nice, and the surprise was it was quite empty on the evening we went. As a result, the service was great. Food was pretty consistent as expected. Nothing special.

The dinner at Corus however was not that great. Not what I would call value for money. Luckily I wasn't the one picking up the tab. My brother-in-law did the honour.

Back to Gombak

We finally moved back to Gombak. My Mum-in-law’s maid was leaving for Indonesia permanently and at the moment we were in the middle of sorting out a new one. She needs some helping hand and Anita obliged.

So, the first evening we had yee sang before dinner. We didn’t have time to go out for one before the Chinese New Year, so we made do with what was around.

It was all the same. But it meant extra travelling time for me every day …

Back to Express Sushi

The last time I went to Express Sushi must have been about a year ago. Busy work schedule and the location of Great Eastern Mall combined to keep it at that.

So, I returned for dinner there last night and it looked like the place had changed a bit. The menu stayed the same, and so was the food quality.

Still the potato salad is the BOMB!Not much difference from before but the eating area was now more comfortable. Would still recommend the place.
