the taylors gang

on friday evening, i met up with several of my ex-classmates from taylors.

at first, it was strange seeing all of them again after about a year apart. but everyone was as friendly as i remembered, so all was good :D

the purpose of the gathering was to celebrate brandon's birthday and it was also a farewell dinner for esther and brandon as they were going back to australia to study.

esther's generous parents, treated us all to dinner at "unique seafood restaurant" in PJ.

i dont know what this is called, but the yellow stuff was yolk. which i felt rather sakai about, because it meant that for each of these little things, an egg was used. gawd, how many eggs does this restaurant use in a day???

fine, ure not interested =p

sharks fin soup (if im not mistaken)

i took 2nd helpings. tee hee~

roast chicken

i eat very slowly, so i was always one dish behind people. so by the time i finished my soup, this was what's left -_-''

Photobucket
fish

i have no idea what this dish was called. contrary to its spicy looking sauce, it wasnt spicy at all. rather, it was sweet-ish.

Photobucket
marmite (?) prawns

these were GOOD!
and somebody *cough*caroline*cough* loved them soo much that she ate about 7!

vege dish

i never bother to find out the name of this dish although its quite a staple in chinese restaurants =p

man... its soo obvious why im not a food blogger -_-"
for the slighter dimmer lot who dont understand why its soo obvious, its because i dont know the names of food eventhough i eat them often, i always forget to take a picture before everyone mutilates the dish and lastly, because my taste is wierd. im damn finicky when it comes to food, however, besides foods that i hate, almost everything else tastes the same level of good -_-"
oh ya, and i know its very dumb, but the only way i know something isnt fresh (aside from it rotting) is when somebody complains that it isnt fresh -_-"

one of the many versions of my trademark pose.

i think im gonna change my trademark pose. because kai says its not outstanding enough. and quite frankly, i find it unflattering and am heartily sick of it (hence me not mentioning it at all lately) =p

dessert!

it was sticky cake fried with yam and sweet potato.
my 1st taste of sticky cake this year! *big shiny eyes*
i love sticky cake!!! especially when my grannie fries it with egg or flour, or both! *swoons*

after dinner, we thanked esther's parents and adjourned to jocelyn's house.

Photobucket
super yummy cake!

i forgot what cake it was, but i remember that it was not a tiramisu although it tasted like one! -_-"

Photobucket

dinner was great and the company was hilarious :D
i'll miss all of them, but a few particularly more, as i clicked slightly better with them :)
