26 Dec 2013 Bangkok Dinner in Som Tam Nua Siam Centre

We manage to visit this famous restaurant - Som Tam Nua in Siam Centre . At first we wanted to try at the branch in Siam Square , however we unable to find it cos that place is already packed with people for the night market.

We reach around 8pm , so the queue is not that long . We have to wait for our seat for only around 10 mins.

 We ordered the famous fried chicken , my verdict ; very well marinated -with spices and garlic.

 Mushroom Spicy Tom Yum Soup - not too spicy however flavourful

 Roast pork -- i find it just ok but my sis insist that is very nice - esp with the dipping chili sauce

 Som Tam - the famous dish of this restaurant . I am pretty disappointing . This dish is too spicy and normal. I have very high expectation of this dish , but it tasted normal . No OHM!!!
B@HT : 59

 Mom and Dad ordered an extra noodle dish - served with crispy fried pork skin - soggy noodle ...not tht nice

Overall is pretty nice and the price is reasonable . Dad treated sis for her birthday celebration . Total meal came up to around RM 70 plus inclusive of mineral water bottles and rice.

2014 Christmas Gift

I always complain to Marcus saying that he seldom shower me with gift ....however he keep denying saying tht he did !

Guess either I am pretty forgetful or he just disillusion ...so from this year onwards i am going to keep track of my giftss ..

Via Pre Penang

Few weeks ago ...Marcus & I headed over to the FAMOUS Italian Restaurant highly raved and recommended by both bloggers and colleagues . We being trying to find occasion to celebrate and finally found one ...Marcus winning in the Chess Championship Penang.

Sorry for the lousy images quality - it was a surprise so i went un prepared ... all pics are taken with camera phone.

 We were given a basket of bread with olive oil / vinegar dip

 Carbonara - looks very creamy n nice ... first time taste this kind of carbonara

 Some pizza with mushroom - sorry cant remember the name

 Best part of the dinner - Creme Burlee - on FIRE !! Cost RM12 (SO EXP) - however one of the best i ever eaten - very creamy without too strong eggy taste.

Total bill came up to around RM 80

Marimo , my Japanese Moss Ball

Finally ....my Marimo s have arrived !! Yippie !!

Brought these babies from a seller which I found on Mudah.my 

He is prob the cheapest seller I found online .... cost RM 7/ball . Due to budget constraint , I choose the smallest and cheapest balls , which is only around 1 cm each.

This is the website to the seller for those interested to purchase them : Okeanos E-Aqua

Damm pathetic ... look so small in the large fish bowl

According to google , these babies can only grow 5mm diameter/ year . The oldest Marimo is around 95cm , aged 200 years old .

Marcus was horrified when i told him that ...he was like ...u know how much is 5mm ?? 

DUH!!! i know ....but what to do ...budget constrain ma .  Never mind , I can pass down to my grand children and they can pass down to their grand children and so forth . 

 Example of nice Marimo Terrrarium sold on Etsy 

Japanese believe that Marimo will bring good luck and see it as a symbol of everylasting love.

It also said that taking excellent care of your pet will makes your wishes come true. 

Shortie First Christmas Present : Sweater

Shortie got her first Christmas present  : Sweater ....thanks to Marcus's Student mom who went to Korea and shortie a sweater .....

 See ...she so happy she got her first Christmas Present ...

Good Bye Stewie

Stewie pass away this Tues , 3 Dec 2013 .

Didn't know what happen to him , however he looks pretty sick on Mon night ...his feather looks pretty puff up and he is a bit quiet . My plan is to bring him to the vet after work on Tues .

On Tues afternoon , Marcus suddenly give me a call saying that Stewie is found on the bottom of the cage , dead.
