anyway, i have been craving to try out the dim sum here for a very long time. and since i had to stay back Friday night last week (long story) we decided to have breakfast there before heading home. yipee. good food makes me h.a.p.p.y :)

the place is like a proper restaurant, nice enough to have a banquet dinner. hehe

they have a wide variety of dimsum...including the hk chee cheong fun, poridge, steam buns, fried stuff. their dim sum is all very fresh and hot. and at reasonable price too. well, there was a scallop dim sum which was rm 5.(price ranges from 2.50 to rm6)but it was oh so good. definitely worth it :D average per head would be about 10 ringgit. but then again depends on how much you eat...and also what you eat :P
everything was yummy...well, the char siew pau was abit on the salty side..but it was OK. the "lai yau" pau was delicious....

they have lots of staff so service is prompt and good. its always packed, even on weekday mornings! but they have lots of tables.

something that everyone should try is the "char siew sou" another version of the famous siew pau. this comes in a different shape and the pastry is slightly different. its to die for! the pastry is nice flaky and buttery and it melts in your mouth, I'm serious! and the filling is oh so tasty. very very yummy.

the bamboo rice. quite good. lots of filling and also a salted egg yolk in it :D

ahhh. this is the one I've been raving about. the char siew sou

the lai yau pau (green) and char siew pau (white)

most of their servings come in threes

HK chee cheong fun. come with either prawn or char siew filling.

the huge nice fully air conditioned place :)

the huge variety of dim sum. all hot and freshly prepared! the scallop dim sum is on the bottom right and the "wu kok" is right on top.

so if you happen to be in seremban and craving for dim sum, this is definitely the place to go!!!

say hello to mus-mus

This is the new addition to my soft toy collection. a little white mouse from ikea. i saw it in sarah kate's blog and was instantly attracted to it *i have an affinity to soft cuddle cute things* and when i met up with her and some other friends for lunch and saw the real thing *heart melts* and i knew i HAD to get it. so the next weekend when i was back in subang, we went out to IKEA to get it. its name on the tag wag gosig mus. so i named it MUS-MUS.

sister's bday @ Tony Roma's The Gardens MId Valley

we celebrated my sister's birthday at Tony roma's The gardens midvalley on7-11-2008

family photo :) the staff at tony roma's are very efficient and friendly. definitely a plus point. and service is good and fast.

the birthday girl who is very contended with her drink ^_^

here is the spread.....unfortunately the receipt is lost so no exact names and price of food :(

The Tony roma's platter. with buffalo wings, potato skin and onion loaf. potato skin was quite stingy with the topping and the potato was so thin. buffalo wings were not bad, but personally i think that TGIf's is better. onion loaf is very yummy. although its oily. nice and crispy.

complimentary bread and garlic butter. garlic butter was excellent

some fanciful strawberry lemon alcohol drink. sweet sour and sharp. refreshing!

main meal no1. bow tie pasta from the new menu. tomato based sauce with lots of mushroom and chicken with was superb.

main meal no.2 rosemary chicken with rice. it was good. chicken cooked to perfection. tender and very flavourful. rice was yummy. its like chicken rice though. LOL.

bill came up to 100plus.

food&drinks: 7.5/10

price: 6/10

ambiance: 8/10
service:9/10

overall: 8.5/10

surgery posting: the first three weeks

it has been awhile since i updated my bloggie...
third week of surgery posting has just ended with a flurry of case reports, case summaries to hand up.
surgery posting is so different from fam med. lots more independent learning and going to wards and doing on-calls. definitely much more hectic.
got the opportunity to go to OT and also watch endoscopies.
and i MUST fall sick in every posting. this time was worst than the last :(
had fever, sore throat, running/blocked nose and cough. was so tired last thursday, i skipped OT session and went back to rest for and hour plus before the afternoon class. and mummy being mummy came down all the way to seremban to cook porridge for me and to take care of me. so sweet~
luckily the fever lasted only one day and now i'm just having cough, and lots of phlegm.
and sue wen got infected also . so sorry gurl! >.< hope you get well soon!
I'll try not to let my blog die...so expect some post later...my sister's birthday and a food review on Tony Roma's and also a new eating place in seremban...and a new friend. mus-mus. more later!
