Food Marathon.....

After being tortured "kaukau" by the ruthless assignments, finally my friends and I had the chance to relax and enjoy ourselves. We decided to go back to civilization for food. (fed up of the jungle and horrible food) Nick, Shara, Goonie and I (also known as the four knights of the Apocalypse with Nick as Nickola Bond, Shara as the wanderer compiler, I, myself as the "WindWalker" and Goonie, well, as Goonie) have chosen Time Square as our stop for nice food....

Before we start our exciting journey for food, we stopped by the petrol station to fill up the fuel.."Anyone wants a drink?" I asked...Goonie wanted a healthy, non-carbonated drink.....Ok, whatever. Suddenly the evil blood inside my and Nick's body triggered. We plan to put a joke on Goonie...Instead of buying him a fruit juice, we got a better, healthier drink, "Per'l, kacip Fatimah", which is literally translated to Tongkat Ali for female....Goonie was forced to drink the "Kacip Fatimah"..(Don't ask me what the hell is "Kacip"..I also don't know what is it..but in the end we concluded that it is "Fatimah's Nectar"...>_< ...tastes quite bad as well)..Shara and I cant stop laughing in the car until we reached time Square.....

1st stop, we went to some japanese restaurant called "Nippon Tei" for some appertizer...3 fruit juices, some unagi (a type of eel) sushi (Rating 8/10) and a sushi roll cost us 60++ bucks....all of us stoned.....but at least they serve nice sushis there...To show who is better, Shara and I took a spoonful of wasabi."OMG, it is damn bitter.." Shara felt his stomach was burning...After the meal, we decided to have "unagi" and lots of "unagi" for dinner at the "Saisaki" Japanese Buffet Restaurant....(cheap and unlimited supply of unagis)

Our next stop was the Johnny's steamboat (for lunch). We chose quite a number of things like mushrooms and lots of balls (seaweed, shrimp, beef..etc)..It was a healthy and satisfying meal...and also blardy cheap..which is only half the price of Nippon Tei..(Darn Nippon Tei...con restaurant...)....

Soon after that, we went to the arcade for some entertainment..(to wash our eyes also...lol). Played some arcade games..(PS2 still better than these junk machines)..

We walked around Time Squre for a while, had my Blueberry cheesecake from starbucks (which is a must when i go to any place with starbucks) and went to Low Yat for some sight seeing....

At 7.00 pm..it is time for the Main course of the day, the "Saisaki" buffet..with 50 bucks each person, you can eat all you want...Bastard Traffic Jam, we only reached there at 7.45pm. All of us were starving to death at that time...can't wait for more "unagi"....

We settled down at the table "P19", which is quite disturbing.."P19" looks like "PIg"..whatever...food is the most important now..

1st round..sushis and shashimis..(unagi sushis, kaviar sushi, egg sushis..etc)..and cheese baked oysters (free meal given by the management as a sign of appreciation)

2nd round...unagi, more unagis and more and more of unagis...fried eels, sweet sour fish fillet, cheese and chicken pizza, soft shell crab tempura, chili chicken...

3rd round...Jelly, some blueberry cheesecake (not as nice as starbuck's one though..)..sweet and sour fish fillet, and cheese and chicken pizza again....

4th round..6 type of ice creams for dessert.....

Shara the wanderer Compiler decided to try something new, the fried, jellyish sea cucumber and snails...."F****, it tastes really bad!!!" Apart from Shara, Goonie also showed some courage, by eating the beef tendon with shrimp...which is tasteless...

By the fourth round, all our stomach almost exploded..We walked slowly to the counter to pay the bill and headed back to the car...

Nonetheless, it's was really an enjoyable night....next time, need to order some sake...Japanese cuisine wouldn't be completed without sakes......

Weird Taxi Drivers....

Tuesday night, I went out with Shara, the wanderer Compiler to the Secret Recipe in Kajang for dinner..(that day was his Birthday..so we decided to celebrate with him)...

We called for a cab/taxi. After 15 minutes, the taxi arrived. Honestly, this is the weirdest and the funniest taxi driver that I had ever met...(though experienced some really weird ones like the Morgan guy who talked about Semenyih as a black area where gang fights often take place...)

This taxi driver seems to have a grudge on the Nigerians and Pakistanis in my uni...below is some sort of editted and summarised version of his complaints..

"Pu**ma..these nigerians don't want to pay the price they asked for...then ask to drive here and there without wanting to pay extra...bla bla bla..Babi....stupid......Pu**ma.....(summarised 3000 words)"

My friends and I cant stop laughing..especially when he said he feels like punching them...(Fight with them? I don't think so, they can KO you with a punch....)

After 15 minutes, we arrived at the Secret Recipe..(Ears gonna bleed if the taxi driver continues..) We had a hearty and sumptuous meal...but the cheesecake is average at best...

Somewhere in the so called "Christmas Party"...

Someone: Darn, should've followed them...the food here tastes horrible......
