CNY Potluck Gathering

Every year, i will have gathering with my group of gfs. This year, we made something different, we had potluck gathering instead of normal yam cha session gathering.

Again, i was working on 5th day of CNY. In fact, i started work on 4th CNY. We had our potluck gathering at Chee Chin a.k.a. lady boss and owner of Venus Station. I went to Venus Station straight after work because it is just nearby my office.

Here are what we have….

Otak-otak all the way from Muar, from Chun Sia.

Not only these, we also have fried oyster. Just the photo taken after Siow Fei ate half way, so it was kinda disgusting. haha..Yok Suan brought red wine and whisky. And how about me? I brought myself! =P

I didn’t know what to bring and i was working on that day. No time to do any preparation of food. I called up Hsiau Hwei and she told me my job is finish the food tonight! So, conclusion, i did not make or bring anything. Hehe.

Group photo. We were all enjoyed the so-called potluck gathering. It was fun, eating, chit-chatting and taking photos. The most importantly, this year we had our gathering at Chee Chin’s Venus Station, where we all conquered the place!! No business that night. :-P

I’m looking forward another gathering with my gfs, probably birthday gathering, who next?

Chee Chin’s Birthday

This is an outdated post. Chee Chin’s birthday on 11/1/2009. Let me recall what happened. It was my idea to hold a surprise birthday gathering for Chee Chin a.k.a. Abu. I text-ed everyone about this. And i’m happy that most of them able to make it. Siow Fei so wanted to join us. She was working in KL but kept ask us to hold the gathering on Saturday instead of Sunday. But due to everyone has confirmed on Sunday, we could not make it on Saturday. Anyway…… Siow Fei able to join us no matter how! :D She brought togather all her luggage with her and joined us for dinner before she went back to KL.

I was working overtime in office on that day. I ordered the birthday cake in advance. I went to pick up the cake and reached Cosmo Noodle Bar before everyone reached. I requested the staff to present the cake to the birthday cake after our dinner. Dinah brought Chee Chin to meet us up. Chee Chin still did not know what was going on until she saw my car parked outside Cosmo Noodle Bar.

Rich american chocolate cake from Ambridge Cottage (again). This time, i topped up RM20 for the decoration. Don’t you think the cake is very adorable and lovely? The staff presented the cake with a big plate and they even played Happy Birthday song to Chee Chin!!

FMIL’s birthday

Yesterday i was having great and happy family dinner with hubby’s family; we were celebrating FMIL’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, FMIL

Actually we were rushing back from KL to attend the birthday dinner.

Chiow Ching asked hubby to look for one restaurant and buy a cake. Hubby was too busy with his work, and of course i’m very willing to help him on this! :-) I was thinking so hard to buy what cake. Initially i wanted to order chocolate cake from Ambridge Cottage because the chocolate is very rich-chocolate, but not too sweet as well. But dear didn’t want chocolate. So, finally i ordered carrot cake from Ambridge Cottage. At first, i’m so worried that some of them would not like it, but Agnes’s mum and Agnes herself keep assured me that their carrot cake is very well-liked and mostly elderly people. So, i gave it a try. I topped up another RM5 for simple topping deco (just some fresh flowers).

Yes, Ambridge Cottage never dissappoint me! The carrot cake is good. I’m happy that everyone of them compliments on the cake i chose. I seeing FFIL was taking the cream to eat. He even asked why the cream tasted so good, different with normal cake’s cream. Hui Ling told me that actually mum loves chocolate cake. Oh..oh…i take note of this. Next time i should order chocolate cake, don’t care if hubby likes it or not. :-P

Oh…i forgot to mention where we had our dinner. This was our tough part when thinking where to have dinner. Me and hubby were thinking one whole day. At first, i suggested Teo Soon Loong, but hubby said it is pricey. Rejected. :-( Shortlisted a few, then finally we chose Fei Li Restaurant ar Ayer Keroh. Good choice because none of us try before, except hubby. But this restaurant is very well known already, and i actually wanted to try so long!!! The service here is very good and comparable to hotel service i mind you! Really good. They only serves halal food, no pork. But we were almost having seafood dinner here. :-)

What i love most is their signature dishes, cheesie mee hoon with big prawns. It is really good. The cheesie is not too strong cheesie taste, but you will want to have to take the cheesie soup alone! But this cheesie mee hoon with big prawns cost us RM84!!! It is the most expensive mee hoon i had ever! But still i think it is worth! haha

We also ordered creamy crabs upon recommendation by the captain. But i don’t really favour this. I still prefer the grilled crab at Seremban. ;-)

Other dishes are, steamed fresh fish (i do not know what the fish name, sorry), ginger wine kampung chicken (everyone commented very good, especially FMIL), sambal sotong (very good if eat togather with rice, but eat alone like this also very good) and sabah vegetables ( claimed one of the most famous dishes here, but honestly, not too bad either).

Errr, i truly enjoyed the dinner. I’m very happy looking everyone enjoying the food and cake. Okay, actually i’m very simple, as long as we can get togather and have dinner, i’m very happy and appreciate the moment. I do not mind if you want me to look for restaurant or buy a cake, i’m very willing to do so, as long as everyone happy! Nature of cancerian i guess, family bonded type.

I’m actually thinking to organize a family trip togather. I’m really looking for it. But wondering if everyone can make it or not, and i’m sure it will be very fun.
