Last Business Luncheon of 2006

Having my last business luncheon of this year at a new outfit in Bukit Damansara called Chef & Brew.......apparently was run by the same people that operate Victoria Station (that for me is not branding but rather debranding as Victoria Station's food is lousy and the price is on the high side). Three of us just ordered some soup and starters because probably too early and still full with breakfast.......well the soup is above average espacially the spicy oxtail soup but the starters is mixed, the chili lamb that VT had was not bad.

The ambience is very Aussie's Bistro style with open beverage counter and very raw floor and wall finishes. Lots of glass and sunlight comes in to the interior, overall not a bad place to hang around.....maybe dinner would be a better ambience and mood. If they could do an open kitchen like Sentral's Hilton will be a perfect touch....but i guess the cost will kill them.

After our brief discussions and the food was served, i am the itchy one to proposed for some alcohols to mark this significant luncheon as to celebrate the end of this year........VT and myself took my favourite Belgian's Hoegaarden and LF didn't drink as he have another meeting after the lunch............its my first time of having alcohols during luncheon and i was a bit sober when we left the place............

四十四歲的男人

四十四歲的男人﹐深刻而理性﹐是人生精神圓熟的時期﹐也是智力的高峰時期。他的自省與外察能力使他名瞭﹐年輕時的衝動和冒失是多麽的幼稚可笑﹐而老年的某些固執和保守又是多麽陳腐可憐.

Tony Roma........yummy

Tony Roma opened its first restaurant in Malaysia and its most famous dishes is barbeque ribs.....pork ribs but because Malaysia is an Islamic country therefore beef ribs is served instead.
Three of us went to Sunway Pyramid to try, we ordered one full rack of ribs ....7 pieces all together, salmon salad and a mixed starter.
Sorry i just dont have time to take the foods before we start what is shown here is the results of after just 10 minutes upon the foods is served....

Dome or "Doomed"

Today went to KLCC for some meeting and upon finished as usual our standard procedure is "Yum Cha" and we went to the newly renovated DOME at Suria's ground floor. Well most of us already probably know DOME specialty is its Gourmet Pies and my all time favourite would be its Beef Pie.
So we went on order it and to our totsl disappointment the pie is not as tasty as it used to be and the newly upgraded restaurant was very warm and the table we sat on was rocking like a rocking chair.........phew what these people is doing they are getting worse instead of improving.

我的“老婆”結婚了。。可息新郎不是我

上個月我部車被我表弟用黎做他的婚禮花車。咳被拒飲我部車的頭淡湯添。

A Walk of Taste

Last weekend we throw a party for Mrs. Chong for her upcoming birthday so we went to a restaurant in Sri Petaling called Taste Walking. This place is genarally not very up market type but the food that served was with quality and the presentation will put lots of gournet restaurant to shame. Another fine example that good stuffs can be churned out just by giving a bit more thaught to it.

My First DSLR .... Nikon D40

After more then half a year of contempletion I finally jump into the bandwagon of DSLR by getting myself a D40 the new beginner model that Nikon launched specifically for beginner like me.

地鐵﹐構物商場與階級。。。

係香港交通是方便都不得了﹐由其係地鐵真係嘆為觀至。有好多商場都係直接連著地鐵砧。甘次我有幸行咗幾個有代表性的分別係觀唐APM﹐九龙唐又一成﹐旺角缽蘭街朗豪訪同中環IFC。APM 係向D middle and middle low的工業同住吒區訴以D人流易反影果個區﹐又一成就係middle and mid high class的區域but因有間大學係附近就訴以mixed 一D不過overall 都好mid high class啦。只於旺角就吾使講龍蛇混雜啦係好次我哋的petaling street甘。中環IFC你就吾會見到D靚仔靚妹或D阿伯阿審係道嘆冷氣因成個IFC的 design and ambiance 係講明你知你無錢吾好黎。。。因anchor tenant係Lane Crawford,而D sub tenant都好highend的。由一個地鐵系統連接的幾個商場而有每個只格5-10分鍾的距離但就有甘大的階級分別真係香港的一大特色。

灣仔的一條巷。。。

離我酒店無紀遠有條小巷裡便有幾間食市﹐大多都係賣粥﹐分麵之類的食物。有間係條巷中間補的裝修到都幾靚以乾淨。我去食過二次早餐同一次晚餐。。。中意間野D人好親切以及對其孰客都有傾有講又好有禮貌吾似九龙果便甘雜同喇韃。吾只甘D野重好好味由其係早餐的鮑魚﹐火腿絲上湯通心粉真係正HKD20包埋二粒煎蛋﹐油多同熱飲一杯。D服務員當我係果道D街坊甘黎召呼令我覺得好warmth阿。。。順便一題﹐格離間甜品屋都係好正加又係好好召呼同好有禮貌。。。條巷真係被我感受到別一個香港。

偷運歷史文物黎港。。。

尼次港遊從有一個秘密任務﹐就係偷運歷史文物黎港被班同好把玩。。。我羅埋部真藏Apple Newton黎港。Party 之後係飯局時正式羅出黎被大家鑒尚。。。。覺位朋友都好贊嘆Newton係十幾年前以經有甘advance的OS。之後Alfie仲影咗呢二張歷史性的照片﹐就係在場各“機”羅的機擺埋一濟﹐新舊model大合照﹐我喃係現是世上少有的真貴照。
