Authentic Indonesian food

Wednesday, August 22, 2007 by Chemical Apple

Sorry for the slow update once again..
My family came down for a visit so kinda busy...
Another FOOD-post this time round...no wonder people say I'm getting biGGer..
This time I went to an Indonesian Restaurant in Crowne Square with a friend of mine, of course friend lar, cannot be enemy rite? .. Its right next to the HongKong CausewayBay restaurant that I posted bout before...
The place is kinda cozy and the atmosphere is Indonesia-ish...^^
You can nearly feel like being in Indonesia at that particularly moment..(nearly but not quite)..
Hope you enjoy the photos, coz I sure did enjoy the food!!

The setting..quiet and kinda posh in an Indonesian way...

The waiters, Indonesian style... All Malaysians though, I asked..

The Menu.. Complete with pictures of the dish
(in case you dont Understand what you ordering, it was all Indonesian)..

Wooden table and chairs.. Pictures on the walls..Nice..

Indonesian'keropok', kinda bitter though..

Tableware prep...

From the left: Bird Nest cocktail, my Indonesian Ice Lemon Tea..

Indonesian Leaf-steamed rice... tasty..

Mutton Satay (satay kambing)...juicy..

From left: Chicken cooked in I-forgot-what and Mutton in yellow coconut sauce..
I forgot the name cause ot was too damn hard to remember..haha
(What to do? I was busy filling up myself!!)..

Lalapan... the Indonesian Ulam (fresh vegetable salad)..
the chilli+belacan was superb..but the vege's not too my liking though...

Mutton again.. forgot the Indonesian name for it..

Honeydew juice... refreshing especially after the spicy food..

After our stomaches are filled....^^

Overall this place is kinda nice and cozy.. For dates or even family outings...
and the plus point is that the waitresses are pretty friendly.. ^^...
So if you are ever in Kuching and wanna taste Indonesian food, authentics ones, you should try this place...yeah right...

Champions Youth Cup 2007...

Friday, August 17, 2007 by Chemical Apple

If you are someone like me with not much $$ to travel the world as mush as I'd like, you'd probably wonder when the heck will you get to see Giant football clubs playing against each other...with our teams playing like shit over here, you'd die to see better stuffd played...
I'm talking about Manchester Utd versus Inter Milan, Chelsea versus Bayern..that sort of stuff....
And then suddenly advertisement about Giant clubs like ManUtd, Chelsea, Arsenal etc etc coming to dear OLD Malaysia(50 years old soon) to play in a tournament....
If only you could see the look on my face that day!!!
I was wondering WHY out of old the other much better developed country, Its not like I hate Malaysia or anything, Dont sue me k, no money larr, they chose Malaysia??
Then I realise (or was it someone made Me realise) that it was the youth teams from the clubs coming to play..cheh...YOUTH
But I went anyway because the tickets were FrEAking CHEAP!! RM12 for 2 match!!, Cheaper than normal Sarawak match..and did I, did I mention that some games were played in Kuching!!...
So I went with my cousin and friend.. and there's only one remark from me..
THE YOUTH TEAMS PLAYED BETTER FOOTBALL THAN MOST TEAMS IN MALAYSIA!!
Didnt waste my $$$$ afterall....
Enjoy the pics I took....

Sarawak State Stadium, Kuching- Looks like a pic of some European stadium rite??

So many people came (more than for the Malaysian league games lar)...
Spot the stalls..food ala malaysian style..

Ticketing booth....

The RELA + police team in charge of maintaining security..
I dont think their counterparts in Europe are this friendly and relaxed..

So much for a State-of-the-Art facility...
even the walkways are in dire need of maintenance...

Supporters filling up the stadium whilst the teams warm up...
I'd rather cool-down in this sort of temperature..haha

Malaysia versus Bayern Munich...
The youth team of Malaysia is way way better than the senior...they fought..
The match ended 2-1 in favour of Bayern..Boleh tahan la...

The kompang drum team, firing up the supporters..

Fantastic colours of the sky...

The pitch was in bad condition that 'Sand-boys' have to come and repair it with sand..
This done during Halftime!! How humiliating... should have done it before the match rite?? Stupid!!

The policeman patrolling vigorously for signs of DANGER!!...^^

Cristiano Ronaldo made a special appearance!!!

Chelsea vs PSV Eindhoven match...
Chelsea lost 0-1...How humiliating for the major sponsor of the tournament...

Quite a number of people turned up for the matches...
Surprisingly Kuching recorded the highest attendance between all other stadiums over in West Malaysia... And they didnt even gave Kuching a chance to host the Quaters at least...
So UNFAIR...whats the point of hosting it in Shah Alama if no one there gonna watch!!!!

The 'Sand-Boys' came again!!!
suffered massive jeers and boos from the crowd...KESIAN...

The night sky view when Chelsea played Bayern Munich...

Chelsea vs Bayern..Final match in Kuching,Sarawak...

Quite many people came too..out of the ordinary...
The match ended 1-1.. and Chelsea got dumped out of the tournament...

Surprisingly, the Youth teams played rather well except for some matches and It gaves the certain feel of watching true Football being played especially of how they play it in Europe...
Btw just the night before the Chelsea vs Bayern match, I happen to come across and Partied with the Chelsea players in Mojo and Soho...They were quite alright including the fat guy(youth coach I think)...hehe...
But what to do Chelsea couldnt even survive the group stage...drinking and partying the night before a match is not a good thing rite???..too bad..
Thats all ler.. Will update on who won the tournament if I can..Hopefully Manchester does well...
cross fingers and mutters...^^

There's a Thing in My pocket..

Sunday, August 05, 2007 by Chemical Apple

"There's a Thing in my pocket, but its not one thing.. Its Many...
Its the same with other things but exactly like nothing else..
It has an eye and an ear, it shares.....etc etc..lazy to rewrite the whole thingy..
"


I doubt if any one of you havent heard this before..

It is an ad thats been around, one of my favourite too...
and in case if you have forgotten, here's the ad...

Got it already?
Yea I guess you must have.. Its the Nokia N95 series phone!!!!
I had my eye on the ad (and the phone too) for ages since one phone mag release its details..
And now I HAVE IT!!!!!
yea what you read is true.. I got the phone, that phone..N95..its finally mine!!!!
I got the purple colour although its not that significant coz the fronts that matter..
come to think of it the back matters too, what with a 5mp camera, Halleluyah.
I had it for two days already and i'd say it works excellently for me..(it cost a BOMB so it should do a heck of a good job)...
Wanted the n73 before becoz its cheaper but the N95 lets me surf the web through WLan so it works better for me..hehe...
The downside of the whole deal (other than my pocket got burnt holes now) is that I lost my Nokia N-gage while clubbing last night.. It SUCKS as hell and spoilt the whole joyous mood..sigh..
Curse the bastard who stole the phone, hope he die a hellish death and suffer all the way before he die, Gosh, cant believe I wrote that.. Anyway goodbye my dear old friend!!!

There's was a thing in His pocket, Now its in MINE!!!

TinyTalk
1) Now that I got the N95, more pictures INCOMING!!!
2) I'm so gonna enjoy the ooh's and the aahh's...
3) N95 oooo.....hahahahaha
