Good Food With a Nice Price Tag

The dinner that I had a while ago was practically one of the best that I have ever eaten in my whole entire life. O.O Why do I say so? Well, first of all I wasn't the one who forked out the money (I'm not trying to sound evil here) and the food was really delicious. Sadly, I was stupid enough not to take pictures of the appetizer and dessert since these two were the ones i considered the best. T_T I only managed to take the main course. =_= I had my dinner with my second uncle and his wife at Sarawak Club's Rajah Room and needless to say, the interior was really high class. I wasn't expecting us to go to somewhere fancy so I came dress in jeans and a collared T-shirt only but boy was I wrong. For the appetizer, I had raw slices of salmon garnished with fresh tomatoes and chilli. The salmon was so fresh and juicy that I made myself savour every bite of it since this would be one of those rare occassions I would eat something so good.
For main course, I had the beef rib eye steak served with mustard sauce since it has been quite long that I got the chance to eat beef. On the plate, there were different varieties of vegetable such as tomatoes and shitake mushroom. The steak was quite tasty but we waited nearly 25 minutes for it to arrive since that the chef had to cook each person's dish individually. By the time it came out, my stomach was already grumbling so loud. I had a tough time chewing the beef due to the tendons. After finishing the main course, I was close to being very full already but I certainly could not leave without eating my dessert. XD
I honestly would have to say that the apple crumble pie paired with vanilla ice cream and fresh cream was the BEST thing ever!!! XD Every bite that went into my mouth literally made me went 'Oohhh' and 'Aahhh' inside. I would not mind spending RM9 for such a delicious dessert but it would certainly burn a hole in my pocket. =.= Overall, I would rate the food and the ambience on a scale of 7/10. The price for my meal was RM70++. Expensive as it is, it was well worth it in my opinion. I went home feeling full, happy and really satisfied after that dinner. Credit goes to the chef who made that excellent dessert and for those who may go to Kuching one day, please do try this dessert if you are visiting Sarawak Club. Guess I better go to bed first and continue blogging another day.
P.S: Couldn't upload pics due to bad connection. Gomen!

The Day the Earth Stood Still


Yes. I have moved to Blogspot just like everyone has and you can say that I am partially abandoning my Xanga blog. =_= I do still care for my Xanga though. XD Anyway, just went to watched Keanu Reeves' new movie this Wednesday and it was the first show which was 10.00 p.m. The cinema hall was packed with mostly teens and young adults due to the surrounding hype that the movie has garnered and I was really expecting it to be mind-blowing (anything with keanu reeves was suppose to be good) .  I shall warn you before hand that my entry will contain some spoilers. XP 

After watching it for an entire duration of 1 hour and 45 minutes, I felt a bit disappointed because I expected it to be full with lots and lots of action but I guess that wasn't possible since the movie only happened in one day. =_= The special effects however were definitely good considering how real GORT the robot looked like and the part when the swarm of metal insects devoured the HUGE baseball stadium. Luckily, my RM 10 did not go to waste for this movie because there is one part where Keanu starts speaking in Mandarin! The whole hall erupted with laughter since Keanu sounded quite hilarious. XD 

Eventhough the movie wasn't that great, it did leave everyone with an important message which was, if humans don't change the way they are living right now, the earth and humans will one day perish together. *shivers* Here are a few reasons to watch this movie:
1. Keanu Reeves looks really handsome in the movie! (hahaha!)
2. Good special effects
3. Watch it if you're a sci-fi fan
4. If you want to know how advance aliens can be
5. This is the first movie where Keanu speaks authentic mandarin.

Exams are coming up next week and I haven't started revising yet. After exams, it's home sweet home KK for good but it will be very sad for me at the same time. Sigh.. I think it's time for me to hit the books. Until the next entry, Tata!
