Shanghai Nite at EEST

Loooonngg paaaang,

I was sooo reluctant to attend,
moreover I have nothing "shanghainese" to wear

Beautiful CS: "Wat do u mean u dun have cheongsam!!! Wear the pink one!!!"

sigh.....hai.

Beautiful CS and Monkey

She was rite...
all the guests came in their stunning cheongsams,
if anybody comes with a black/white/red/dress...
I bet they'll be kicked out!!!

we sat at a cozy corner

the nite started with the harmonious drum performance
I wanna have those drum sticks...
so portable and nice to beat around
esp others' face whenever I feel like it.
*stress reliever*

Calligraphy master from China

I dunno wat he wrote but it's sure nice!!!

Hot babe Wee Shen & Sweet Rachel

See...everyone dressed in their supercurvylicious cheongsam.

Sweet Rachel & Beautiful CS

OMG!!!

Sweet Rachel & Chinadoll Qian Yu

their dress, bags and shoes matched each other well.

Beautiful CS, Sweet Rachel, Hot Babe Wee Shen & Monkey

GAH!!! I don't want to wear cheongsam again...
can I wear samfu????

on another note,
about photoshoot.....
ppl think it's fun, it's nice and enjoyable...
it's NOT!!!!

it's tiring!!!!
and idle....
normally I spent it bitching around with stylists, makeup artist
and creative ppl....
-_-
yummylicious models whom followed me down to KL
they are currently on tour and stopped over in msia for 2 months.
Jonathan said the pants was too tight for him...
yeah I think so too.

Thanks to a certain someone,
it was done professionally using the least amt of time.

Theatreland

GAH!!!! I better finish up my London post,
before it's gone FOR REH VAAAHH!!!!! gah gah gah!!!

Covent Garden is like the garden of theatreland.
everywhere u turn to....there's theatres,
or ppl selling discounted theatre tickets,
Food food food food food.
Yep my eyes only register FOOD wherever I go.
This one.....kenot miss!!!
it's a classic and a MUST GO!!!

Longest running show in London.
like erm....22 years???
sculptures and statues near the performing stage
yep no pics during show time
this theatre is super old
*I forgot how old*
all the old folks attending the theatre
hiak hiak hiak

watching a play is a TREAT for Londoners
as for us, it was a very EXPENSIVE treat,
GBP 60 = RM 420 per person.
the following day, we went to Lyceum Theatre
for my favourite show....

okie...luff all u want...
just happen that my fav is Lion King.
*go on....luff...*
Lion King has been playing in London for about 8 years???
I tell u super worth every single cent paid!!!!
the choreography and costumes and props and backdrops etc etc etc

the hall is more cozy

with the exclusive balconies

I came out of the play singing to hakuna matata,
lalalalalalalalalalalalala

we got so addicted that we purchased "Lord of the Rings" tickets,
without thinking about our departure dates.
-_-
GAH!!! and so we burnt the tickets.
GAH x 1000
Quaglino's at St James.
JS lurve their ceiling....
the colour changes during the day - cozy warm colors
and blue at nite.

He was thinking of installing such lightings in our new dining hall.
-_-
Q is for Quaglino's
their salt & pepper saucer
my escargots without its shell in green herbs.
he had foie gras with caramelised pear on a bed of baby spinach.
GAH!!! wat a huge portion!!!
my crispy porkie with mushroom mash
*or was it truffle mash???*
too much of meat and I need my fiber!!!
Rockets with formaggio

Pear tart :)))

In fact there are some other posts still pending,
too many already...
Lucky I don't write reviews for sponsors..
I don't like to be chased down the road for some write ups.

However I am gonna give up on one particular journalist,
who's been holding my write up for 10 months already.
Well as much as I like to procrastinate,
I don't owe ppl things for like 10 farking stale months.

Winter harvest @ Fukuya

Actually, Spring is here..
*remember chinese spring festival - CNY*
but we were still craving for winter food.
Fukuya's neat menu...
printed on rice paper and bundled up with young bamboo shoot,
tied with red ribbon.

If u are anticipating for pics on the menu....sorry.
when I 1st brought Chris da boss here...he gave up ordering coz no pics.
-_-
the lil garden on the other side of the restaurant overlooking the main dining hall and the sashimi counter on the right.

we were seated on the main hall....bcoz
the 7 seater sashimi counter was full
all the 4 VIP rooms were full

yes....wat to do..I booked late.
as in like...today makan today baru book.
HMPH!!!!
everything is so neat here!!!

well ppl, if u wanna dine at Fukuya,
pls book daysssss in advance now.
baby daikon with some fish liver on the other end.
just like fashion runways....
these are the fresh produce for Spring 08
and it came with edible flowers.
Tempura of zucchini flower
u only get it during non-winter months.

this was my 1st zucchini flower,
coz I can't get in Malaysia...
and in Singapore with its price tag...
I rather eat something else. :P
*the above was complimentary fr Chef Ando*
erm....toros everywhere....
tucked under the seaweed,
in between the japanese ebi,
and more unseen in this pic.
YIKES!!!!
am so sick of it.

well...my fav got to be the white fish
Sayori = flounder
but Monkey hunted only for the sides of sayori,
the meat is sweet but not as yummy as its side.
crunchy like jellyfish.
and we had this baby!!!
white burg with very smooth finishing.

Anyway I was too busy with my moscato that nite.
JS lost a lot of weight recently,
yeah spend less at the golf course and more time sleeping like me
and u should be fine?
Wat say u????
hahahaha.....
fish liver........
YIKES!!!! am so sick of it.
anyway someone else happily makan-ed my portion.
I-Ching & Prince C
Whatever that I don't makan,
Prince C will finish up for me...

*after the dinner, we went to Kg Baru and had nasi lemak for supper!!!!! hiak hiak hiak!!! We can reaaaalllly eat.*
my fav brocollinis served with bonito flakes,
all the way fr Japan.
we came for this!!!!!
King Crab fr Hokkaido!!!
*not Alaska*

only available during winter months.
one huge claypot for everyone...
dun ask me the price!!!
it's crazy!!!!
look at its spiky spiny legs!!!
sweet can die man this crab.
my fav japanese strawberries
only 4 biji!!! Ain't enuff....

later when JS inspected the bill:
"Your 4 biji strawberries cost RM 24 -_- "*
"hehehehhe hahahahahhaha."

so next time, buy at Isetan
RM 42 for 8 or 9.

We've been shopping at Isetan for years,
JS has their planogram in his mind all the time...

Over the phone:
"Go to japanese produce section under sauces. Reach out on the right tier at the bottom and u can find Hinode Mirin."

*gulped.....damn precise!!!!*

anyway I can't be bothered when there's so many floor staffs.
Just ask!

"Mana itu sponge fingers untuk tiramisu???"
and Ta-Da, they will retrieve it for u even though it's like at the other end...
and walk the whole area to locate u,
to give u your sponge fingers..

Heheheheheh
I enjoyed making ppl work!!!
this is wat I called - customer service.
homemade King Crab with udon in dashi stock.

yeap, u can buy frozen king crab at Isetan.

JS boiled the soup using kumbu (jap seaweed) and negi (leeks)
then add in bonito flakes...strained the soup..
add in mirin etc etc etc *i forgot wat*
and add more magic into it to make it this tasty
eat with care.....
coz 4 legs cost RM 89.90.
hahahahahha.
well it's CNY...so eat 1st and worry about your tummy later.
