When the buying stops, the killing can too.. Yeah doc :)






This is my friend Doc














And this is my friend John






We had dinner at KKBox, at Kompleks Karamunsing. The concept of the place is to eat and sing (or is it the other way round?), a family recreation centre based around good old karaoke singing.



So all in all, we paid RM 155.25 (including taxes and service charge) and the dinner was buffet style. A good mix of Chinese, Malay and Japanese food. And the verdict?

The food was substandard, as it was mostly the usual stuff you get around KK. Most of the food was dry, especially fried up items such as chicken wings, and... uh.. Oh yeah. That's it! NOTHING LEFT. It was only 8 pm and most of the food was gone, and all that was left for me to pick were scraps, and bits of garnishing. I only partly enjoyed the Loh Mee which I thought was a bit tasty, unfortunately it was cold. They also served Shark's Fin Soup.. which turned out to be tang hoon soup, cooked with so much starch, you could almost mould it into shape... Yup!! Well, you know what they say on tv nowadays, "when the buying stops, the killing can too".

Anyway, the Japanese counter provided customers fresh sushi (that's what you think!) so i ordered Tamaki or California Roll, which unfortunately was also bad. Hmmm... The seaweed wrapping was damp and leathery in texture, while the filling was of freshly cut cucumber, which was bitter, and crab sticks. I assure you, the combination was quite an experience when you try to swallow a mouthful of this stuff.



The only item I enjoyed eating there was the fruit, because absolutely nothing was done to it, except for cutting it and serving it on a platter.

The mantra which should be uttered here is "change the cook, change the cook, change the cook".

Well, at least I tried to enjoy myself singing. Thank god for Doc and John, otherwise it would've been a disastrous night.

Last but not least, here is a picture of my darling niece, practicing for the circus. :P



While I was going to work,

This is what I saw this morning. I've never seen such a long cloud formation that stretched more than 50 km.. How do I know this? Because the clouds were over Mt. Kinabalu at the far end!




And while in the meeting this morning, I took snapshots of my friend.. I am at that stage when I experiment a lot with my camera.




I need to start writting about food again, but I'm just too busy at the moment.
