Three months have passed since CNY and the last band at Zeta Bar, Xpress Band had created a storm and left to Bangkok, whilst replacing them was Magenta who actually came from Bangkok. So it was like a switch. Was really excited to see how the new band would actually turn out, and anxious I must say because Xpress Band really rocked Zeta Band and for the next band to actually be same or better, kinda difficult - you know what I mean?

We all reached there and was super duper hungry, had to wait a bit before the finger food started serving, FOL the variety this round wasn't that much and it wasn't as great, perhaps cos I was comparing it to Senses? *pik piaks ownself* and a little tad of annoyance were portrayed on some of the #Porkgang members because the band still haven't started playing although it was close to 9pm already. When Xpress Band was there, they were actually rather punctual.

Then they started rocking the stage and at the initial stage I was amazed at the powerful voice that the Female vocalist has, I mean yeah she is black and she is fucking good! Then when the next song came about, a bit disappointing because the next singer didn't have a strong vocal and kinda feels like she was eating her words whilst singing and when the Usher wanna be guy started his round.

Our welcome drinks, honestly it tasted horrible

Hing Ket Restaurant, Kampung Jawa

Hing Ket Grill House
Address:

Lot 3569 Batu 3¼
Kampung Jawa, 41000 Klang
Tel: 03-3371.3913 or 3371.0861

Opening Hours:

11.30 a.m. - 2.30 p.m.

5.30 p.m. - 10.30 p.m.

As for the direction, as copied from Precious Pea's blog:
Described as: Not far from Connaught Bridge TNB Power station
Directions: Courtesy of food.malaysiamostwanted.com
It is located off the main road along Kampung Jawa, Klang.
1) If you come from Federal Highway, after toll, go straight. 1st viaduct, go up.
2) At roundabout, turn left. (condos in front).
3) When you reach traffic lights, take left. There’ll be shoplots on the left. Go straight.
4) At traffic lights, turn right.
5) You’ll come to a T-junction, turn left there.
6) Travel down that road, quite a distance.
7) Shop is on your right so you’ll have to keep a lookout (at a curvy part of the road).
8) This shop is sandwiched btw a house and another shop.(the whole area is called Kampung Jawa)

It took us a while to get there but thanks to Precious Pea's directions on her blog, we managed to find the place. When we arrived, it was drizzling slightly, so Fatty had to sit in the bag, as the dog-friendly area outside has very little seats and the owner says its better to sit inside and avoid the rain. We were all so fungry when we were there, straight away whacked some others, whilst those who were driving had to take a while to look for a parking.

One thing inconvenient about the place is the lack of parking and to park across the road is superly dangerous, as the shop is located at a blind spot and many cars fly back and forth on that single lane road. FOL. Too bad the shop next door doesn't rent out his parking. Wise choice to do that since the business isn't as good as Hing Kets.

The lamb is the best dish of the night. It actually faired way better then the crab.

The ikan bakar was a little too spicy

The mihun fried with Lala. It tastes good although I only had one bite. Eating with the porkgang you have to grab your food fast or lose out. Mb that's why Ringo is always so skinny :P

The super small kai lan. Seriously the guy quite joker also, knew the amount of people but only served us a small one, kenot even taste the vege lor. Tak syiok!

Then the main dish, the crab arrived. Because we didn't call to order, we didn't get to try out the Crabs with most roe (kou hai). Only had their medium sized ones and apparently, the crabs were not as good as it was supposed to be. Honestly, I felt that the crab was so-so only. I would have rather had another piece of lamb or go to City Star restaurant for the dunno what fertilizer kenot cross over dunno what dish. I know it is different cos one is steamed and one is BBQ-ed but chung zhi it's just not that good la.

The the Hokkien Mee ala lou shu fun, not really good as well because the lou shu fun doesn't blend well Hokkien Mee style. The taste is not properly absorbed so the loh shu fun tastes too floury instead.

Lastly, the honey chicken wings. Not really that good as well. The sauce is nice but it felt like the chicken was over cooked. And probably what ticked me off a bit was that when I ordered my Orange Juice, it took so bloody long to come, like WTF! I had to ask 6 times before it actually arrived. Imagine if I was dying of thirst because the dish too spicy? Then really FML already.

KLCC Rampage Again

It's time for lunchie with bag buddy Redmummy again! Lunching with her is utmost fun because we go to almost all the shops and survey for bags and drool over them, try them and feedback to each other whether it is nice or suitable or not. Never met someone else as gila about as me and I thought I was bad, doing all those online research on them and all. This women lagi gila, she can feed me numerous links to check out and blog shops and all. The bf also scared that my shopaholic-ness that I have suppressed will explode out again.

So we did our rounds at the shops, here with Redmummy trying out Gucci's latest collection. Honestly Red is her thing and it actually suits her very well. Not easy to carry everything red. At the initial stage, I always wondered how Redmummy gets her stuff, because almost everything on her is red and most of the time when I see her at events, that's the case. I'm like if everything also red then cannot really tell the difference right? But it's not true, she actually likes different colors as well but just not as much as she likes red.

Then we headed off to San Francisco for a quick bite before rocking the stores again and for her to go back to work.

Coffee and Mocha

And Redmummy's soup

Doesn't look like a mummy right? ;)

Lunch again soon! XOXO :D

Delicious, Bangsar Village II

Delicious is now having an additional menu, emulating an American Diner. Seriously, it kinda makes the place feel a bit weird because Delicious has been portrayed as a classy place and the fact that they wanna add on diner food kinda downgrades it. Secondly, I don't think that would be quite their specialty as well. Why?

Number 1. they are more of the pasta kinda people and some local cuisines

Number 2. when we tried to order, most of the stuff on the menu was not available

Number 3. the staff aren't even enthusiastic to sell this menu

If we want to get that kinda American diner food, honest to god, Chilis would be a way better option. But we decided to still have a go at the Onion Rings because that's the only other dish that is available other then the fucking expensive New York Steak at RM89.90. Crazy a? Might as well go and eat at Meatworks or Prime for that matter of price.

The Onion Rings served with Aioli was too oily and too thinly sliced. The sauce is good but the onion rings on its own was not satisfactory.

Since we couldn't have anything else from the menu (we were both craving for Buffalo Wings FOL, cos the menu had it and we already had our mind set on it and then they come and tell us a lot of stuff from the menu tarak) we ordered chicken tenders but it wasn't really good as well. Should have just stuck to ordering the Wedges or the Squid. Or even the salad, but it's too huge of a portion '>.<'

Louis Vuitton in Gardens Mall

Was walking around and then I saw this, did a double take, shook my head again and then rubbed my eyes. Seriously thought my eyes were deceiving me leh. Then the bf confirmed it and then I thought he was lying too. Googled and then found out that EH it's true leh. Consequences of not reading the newspaper frequently, so I miss out juicy information like this. Anyway would not have expected them to open at the Gardens, right opposite the Coach shop.

Somehow feel that the target market seem a bit wrong but I guess now Louis Vuitton not only targeting up-market people but also working adults with their lower range of the bags like Speedy, Sabrina, Neverfull and those below RM 3,000 a piece. Wonder if they will end up like all the other brands and have a markdown during mid year and year end sales, like how Gucci made it so affordable for anyone to buy now. I mean seriously 9 out of 10 people in KL is actually carrying one and its so funny because it actually makes you feel like you are in HK leh. Where everyone is carrying a branded bag and swamped with it.

T.G.I.F

They were having a Tex Mex promo, but will blog about that soon. Now to keep up with some old pics :P

Trying to decide what to eat at TGIF was quite a task. Especially when there aren't that many varieties or probably because most of the dishes were dark based. Chilli's would have been the best option but somebody got lazy and didn't wanna walk over.

Bought some cupcakes and biscuit for the furkids

Margarita at TGIF isn't as good as Chilli's especially with this one trying to rival the Margarita Presidente. Already I felt cheated because the flask is super full with ice and they served me my Margarita with ice and then with so much ice also I only have 1.25 glasses of the drink. At Chilli's I get 2 full margarita glasses without having ice in it.

The bf kept calling this the Triple play, I swear the people in TGIF would have thrown him out if he said it one more time. LOL! They were smiling with clenched teeth and trying to tell him NO, Triple Play is Chilli's this is TGIF's own platter. LOL

Baked potato skins loaded with cheese and bacon chicken, we were allowed to choose if it was Chicken or Beef and as I just had me teeth whitened, all white meat please!

The buffalo wings

And the deep fried cheese stick

Photo bomber

Then some chicken dish, totally forgot the name because it was too complicated to remember LOL. Didn't really fancy this because the chicken was just way too dry that it felt like we were eating plainly breast meat.

My old time friend, the mushroom soup, what I had to eat most of the time when I had my braces. Tragic, luckily I still like it a lot. I tried the clam chowder soup as well, really yummy and has bits of potatoes inside.

To end the meal with a yummy mango margarita

TDH (Tom, Dick and Harry's) Again

Since my last visit during the opening of TDH, I haven't had the time to go back. -blogged about it here. In between, I actually met R's gf S during a shoot and she is perfectly awesome, friendly and super charming. Good one R :) she's just such a fab girl!

Their weekend Big Breakfast special only at RM 15, I'm going to give it a try soon but definitely going to starve myself the night before first so that I have a better appetite for this. Or not confirm not dai for me lor. But then again, RM 15 is actually not much that I could be losing out on. LOL

I ordered a Salad that comes with Pork bacon and chicken, very yummy and the sauce goes well with it. Only thing is if they had more cheese sprinkles then its just perfect, sure crave for it from time to time one ;)

Then the bf ordered a Pork Burger, it actually tastes better then the Pork Burger, P2 in Cristang. Kenot compare it to the rest of the Pork Burgers la, must compare with the one that is the same par as it. If only the burger was bigger, so I can steal more or not the bf won't have enough to eat.

Then the pork platter which consists of yummy pork bacon, sausages and ham best accompanied with a cold glass of beer. Best is if it is Hoegarden or Heinekne *slurps*

And the fish fingers, doesn't look appetizing but it is really good. Especially cos the meat is really juicy on the inside. Best to order 2 plates because one doesn't feel like it is enough, especially when sharing with friends. LOL

Then we TCS'ed the whole night. Went home *hic* happily enough to post this :P

Hennessy The Art of Mixing

The bf got an invitation from Prestige Magazine to attend a Hennessy Art of Mixing event. It was actually an invitation only event for some tasting and mixing of your own VSOP. Well honestly we aren't really a Hennessy fan, except for loving all the events that we get to attend, all fun and joy because they always arrange one of the best events.

Because traffic that night was so fucking bad, we arrived the event place about 30 minutes late but not surprisingly others were also caught in bad traffic as well, so we had to wait for over an hour before we were led to a room for us to do our own mixtures of Hennessy.

The minute the door swooshed open, I felt like I was already drunk. No seriously! The whole room was filled with Hennessy smell and it was rather overwhelming, no need to drink also feel like you have drank a lot already. I swear God would have dropped down to the floor, kissed and thank the Lord for this blessing. Heck, he would probably down all the alcohol and did his own mix in his tummy. Why wait to pack it into a bottle? LOL!

Then we were briefed about how Hennessy was made and what is Eau-de-Vie. Apparently VSOP is formed when it is aged 5-7 years and XO is when it is more than 9 - hope I didn't get my facts wrong. I was too distracted with the smell and wanting to taste the Eau-de-Vie :P and to create the VSOP and XO, there are over a hundred types and tastes of Eau-de-Vie from different years, it's seriously not a simple thing. Surprising enough there are people who sell fake alcohol that tastes as good that you can't tell the difference.

When questioned on fake alcohol and how to distinguish them, Riche Monde's answer was all Hennessy has a special seal, and code that is made to identify their genuine bottles. But he doesn't deny the fact that there could be some who reuse the real bottles and pack it again and sell them as original ones. Sneaky sneaky!

Then later we had fun experimenting mixtures of Hennessy Eau-de-Vie from different years. Eau-de-Vie 83 means that it is aged for 27 years - which means the number actually tells you the year that it was made in. So we got to play with 3 different years of Eau-de-Vie 83 being the oldest, 90 and 96 the youngest. We were first asked to tryout each of the Eau-de-Vie individually and give a feedback on how it tastes like and then we had a silinder for us to mix the 3 of them based on our preference after having tried the Eau-de-Vie. So each and everyone of us left with our own concoction and not available in the market.

I wonder what it would be like to have a job as an alcohol taster. I'd probably get sick of alcohol or just become plain alcoholic and drunk 24/7. LOL

The lethal weapon

My mixtures, tried out 3 different potions and I actually liked 2 of them, each the extreme opposite and I couldn't decide which one I wanted to pack home. SOOO I choose the one that the bf would drink so IF I ever decide to drink the bottle, we can both enjoy it together.

The bf's recipe

And then we had to use the recipe times 10 of it and start pouring them from these bottles.

The bf's own recipe

LOL I actually asked the guy if I could just take home these 3 Eau-de-Vie and not be bother to mix my own recipe. And he just laughed at walked away '>.<'
