jeslynsay............: Fun! Food! Fun! Food! in SP & PJ.....

Before going up to Kedah, San Yi & Ah Tio brought us to have dinner at Room Eighteen in Tropicana City Mall. I have seen this restaurant many times, but never have the interest to step in as I'm really not interested in Chinese food.

But, I guess I have to change my preference a bit coz some of the dishes there were mouth watering!!!

Never have I tasted such crispy and fragrant fried lotus root. Yummy!

The 'sio bak' is the nicest I've ever tasted. Crispy at the top, tender and chewy at the bottom.....

Thank you San Yi & Ah Tio!

Then, thx to our dear Si Yi, we got to eat ROYCE chocolate for dessert...... Wow! The choco just practically melts in our mouths!! And it's RM45 per box of 20 little pieces..... But, it's worth every cent of it........

The next morning with my eyes half-open (I slept for only 15 minutes that night), we went straight to LCCT to catch our plane to Alor Setar for dear Lyn's wedding......

Both Joyce & me ready to set off.......

The wedding photos are still with Alvin, so I can only blog about them later on when I get my hands on those photos.

And the resort we stayed in..........CINTA SAYANG RESORT....... I will be blogging about it later on too..... 1 full page dedicated to them for their TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE & INCORRIGIBLE service which makes them look like a VEGETABLE!

After the wedding, Lyn and Heng brought us to this stall near the Sungai Petani bus station where I managed to taste the best peanut drink ever...... Til now, I can still imagine the smell, taste and feeling of this drink lingering in my mouth......

The stall doesn't look appealing, right? But the drink.........

is like HEAVEN! If not for dinner later on, I would have gulped down 3 cups of this........

I also took a bowl of assam laksa as my uni friends from Kedah were always boasting about how good their assam laksa is, compared to those out of Kedah. And i have to say they are right, because the soup is a bit different and tastes nicer than those that I've tasted before in KL. But....... the noodles seem to lack something....... The noodles are more like the Laksa Johor noodles, while I prefer the springy type which tastes more like udon.......

At night, Heng's family brought us to this place which was like paradise hidden in the middle of nowhere ~ Mae Salong.

I'm not able to blog about the food there, coz once again the photos are still with Alvin..... When I get the photos, I will blog about the food, which I can tell you now: They are 5 star food, except for the fried chicken, which is a bit too tough for me to devour........ And yeah, I was also busy helping to babysit Hao Xuan ~ Heng's nephew...... He's extremely adorable!!!

He was a bit apprehensive at first.......

Then....... he goes like that!!!! Smiling & laughing all the time!! Oh.... I miss him so much!!

Back to PJ, it's all about eating again.....& family bonding time...... With my Ah Tio, it's definitely Chinese food again.... (both my Ah Tios seem to just like Chinese food only)......

They are all Chinese food fans........

Well, I'm liking Chinese food more and more with this dish....... Cheese Prawn.......... at Long Feng Chinese Restaurant in Sea Park...

And I had a wonderful time with my 'bao bei's whom I've not seen for a long time..........

Rui Chen is so tall now!! I spent the most time with him when I stayed in PJ for 3 years and he's like me...... we are fans of horror stories!!! So, for his Christmas present, I got him 2 horror story books........ And I'm so proud that he is also the school's representative in Olympiad Maths! 加油Chen!!

Next is Rui Syuen....... the princess of the family.............. My mum loves her so much that whenever I turned my head, I kept seeing her placing food into her plate....... (I'm jealous...) She's so much more obedient now compared to the last time I saw her...... And I'm really impressed that she was gracious enough to let her younger brother have her Christmas present & in the end I ended up giving her 2 presents instead of 1..... 加油 Syuen!

And now is my latest 'bao bei' ~ Chua Rui Siang!!!!

OMG..... he really looks like LEE HOM!! & I really love him so much!!!!! He's so obedient and adorable!! And his favourite phrase is "很贵耶!"

My Mum: 让我看一下这漫画的价钱...... RM11.90 啊"
(Let me see the price of this comic.... It's RM11.90. )

Rui Siang: 很贵耶！
(It's so expensive!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: 这些兔子好可爱喔！
(These rabbits are so cute!)

Rui Siang: 表姨，为什么你不要买兔子呢？
（Biao Yi, how come you don't want to buy that rabbit?)

Me: ...........................

Rui Siang: 很贵耶！
(It's so expensive!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He even came out with a very tickling question?

(Pointing to the sewing machine, he asked my mum: "为什么这个针车没有轮的？"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The youngest is Rui Feng....... 1st time seeing him.... next to his dad.......... Not much time to bond with him..... coz he did not want to hirau me...... :( He was so busy with his own activities........

Next day, er jie brought us to Subway and I had a BMT........ Oh... why can't someone open a Subway in Batu Pahat? I can eat those sandwiches for lunch every day........!

Then we went 'jalan jalan' with those little ones.............

This one little smart girl, Sher Lyn is my er jie's daughter..........
She was so interested in our family tree that she wanted me to explain the whole tree to her, and surprisingly, she managed to get all the facts in her head after I explained to her for half an hour............. She's definitely a future A student in History.......

These little ones were real real happy on that day!!

And of course I won't miss the chance of going into Borders to get my books during its year end sale......... Again, how come there's no Borders in Batu Pahat? Ai.... frankly speaking, if not for the traffic jams, I would have chosen to stay on in PJ/KL......

Then, we went to the place that the little ones had been looking forward to..... I SCREAM!!!
Yes, it's....... ICE CREAM! Gosh! I was excited too!!

This Black Sesame Ice Cream is a must try!

Then, we also got ermm.... i forgot the name..... it's something like 'Ice Scream on the Rock?? or on the wall??'... Forget it....... the most important thing is that it's YUMMY!!!!
