Special Guest to Brissy~! (9th Aug 07')

Yo...lazy bum-bum Kev is back here! Been too tiring for lectures, seminars, tutorials, group discussions, works....you name it, I'll have it here~ Just back from work and decided to blog for a while...

Its about the 'GRAND' visit by YueHan from S'pore. He and I used to hang out together with other mates during our college life in Inti Int. College Penang (IICP). That's so called the '4 Musketeers' - YueHan, Jason, AhPao and I. Jason is in Melbourne while AhPao is in Perth to pursue their studies. YueHan has done with his undergrad degree in Biotechnology in Monash KL. Guess what? He is now a super duper SIA air steward...Woohoo...!


Its me and YueHan (still that muscular since ever before)

YH used to study his 1st year in Brissy at QUT (Queensland Uni. of Technology) about 2 years ago...Being study alone here, he can't resist the homesickness despite having LOTS of friends esp. girl friends...SMIRK**~ Thus, he decided to shift everything back home during the time i came over here to continue my undergrad studies...What a 'coincidence'....!! This time, he was a visitor to brissy and also his 1st official airflight service for SIA~! Definitely a sanguining experience for him!


Long-life Penangites (Me, YH, Dylan and Sam)


Lily with all the Penangites - I, YH, Dylan, Ailene and Sam

Of course, he made good use of his 1 day stay in Brissy by meeting up his dear 'girl friends'!! Haa...those were his great friends that he has known during his study life here back 2 years ago~ How happy he was...keke~


Steamboat dinner...yumm!

At the same time, we got to know Lily during lunchtime meet-up! She is originally from Taiwan, also a SIA air stewardess that on-service in the same flight as YH. Yippie, will have another local guide when my visit to Taiwan next time...I felt so honoured to have the chance to take photograph together with 2 nice and friendly SIA air-steward and stewardess. **Kev is happy**


Me, Lily and YH (Welcome to on board and thanks for flying with Singapore Airlines)


Best buddy ever!! Cheers~

Even though the direction of our dream and future is different, but I'm sure our ironed friendship will remain immutable...I sincerely wish you all the best throughout your career and hope to meet you up as soon as possible in the future, take care, YueHan!!

Invigoration~ Keep going...

Halo...its 9 minutes past 11pm here, haha...Just started my new casual work as food preparer at Fancy's Fillings...not bad, suits me as I'm a gluttony as always! Haa...

Here's a nice song that reflects my current feeling and situations...Sometimes we are not the same internally in relation to our external look...hee~ Must keep on motivating ourselves to get things going on till they reach their goals...cheers man!! **Kev is sleepy -_- ~

WATT Modern Dining @ NewFarm, Brisbane - 29th July 07'

Hiyo! Been busy for the past few days...had a consecutive 6 hours of lectures yesterday plus an hour of tutorial today! Back to uni life, O.o ! Thought this kind of life could put on a temporary full-stop, but it seems that I still need to work harder again and no more procrastination especially in dealing with those headache yet 'lovely' assignments...

Okie, let's talk about FOOD matters to ease our heavy-stressed life, regardless working and studying life...hee~ It was 29th July, Sunday, JJ, Clara and I have decided to have a great lunch together as to celebrate my recent graduation! Haa...I get to know about this restaurant from travel websites and official Queensland Tourism website. The ever famous restaurant was the winner of the 'Restaurant and Caterers' inaugural Best Al Fresco Restaurant category for both 2004 and 2006.



Its a restaurant that provide fine dining, so already expect the food will cost a blast...Let's explore what's so special-->


Za'atar spiced lamb rump on gorgonzola polenta with wilted spinach & thyme jus (Medium cooked) - AUD$32.50 (~ RM97.50)

Starting with the 1st dish, the word 'gorgonzola polenta' (yellow triangle crispy block) immediately caught my attention. After having a bite of it, the texture is like fried cream croquette. According to JJ, gorgonzola is a kind of cheese while polenta is made of boiled cornmeal. The lamb is mediumly cooked thus still contains the original and freshness of meat juice...Absolutely thumbs up with it when you have a bite, together with the sauce provided...


Crispy skinned atlantic salmon with saffron kipfler potatoes, coriander & spicy chorizo - AUD$33.50 (~ RM100.50)

The atlantic salmon has been cooked in an interesting way...The chefs have done a great job by frying the skin of the salmon block until crisp...and accompanied with some herbs plus the ever fragrance Chorizo which is pork sausage that used dried, smoked red peppers for colouring purposes!


Pan seared pork loin with 'budgi werri' prunes, celeriac puree & apple & raisin chutney - AUD$34.50 (~ RM103.50)

The 3rd dish seems kinda normal on its outlook yet extrusive when you have tasted the tenderness of the pork. It is just so soft until you can't imagine it is actually pork loin...The use of dried fruits like prunes, apple and raisin for making the Chutney has been an innovative step involved in food preparing...


The Three Epicureans (JJ, Clara and I) - Delightful

WATT has successfully acquired modern ideas and incorporate into their dishes...Stuffs that originally use in other purposes have amalgamated with our daily food products and turn into 'God's creations'! Simply thumbs up for that...I've included into my 'Food Monster' list and will definitely visit again in the future...

Before the main dishes, we have also ordered an Entree: Freshly shucked pacific oysters with 'WATT' patrick & crispy pancetta which is cost AUD$18.50 (~ RM 55.50) and a side dish: Chips with garlic aioli - AUD$6.50 (~ RM 19.50). Therefore, the total bill for the fine lunch was AUD$125.50 (~ RM 376.50) with standard exchange rate in which AUD$1 to RM3. Hee...

In exchange with the elating dining experiences, my wallet, had suffered 'worst drought' ever~ OMG, someone please help me~!! Just after the lunch, I immediately headed back home and baked a cake to satisfy my 'glutton and bloated' stomach...


Strawberry Butter cake...

Yumm, but I think the cake's texture is kinda hard as I've overbaked for another 5 mins...haaa...will definitely make it better next time...

That's all for my big day?! NOT YET....

Baked Cheesy Cupcake - Rich in cheese...woot O.o

'Thanks' to both Clara and JJ, for giving me this sinful rich cheesy cupcake to satisfy my tummy...I guess I need to work out for extra few hours to compensate with all the calories and fats intake....hahaaa

Haa...Its almost time for me to do some revision before going to bed...Till then, have a good one, guys and gals...!
