Jes buRfday blaSt... - Bella Italia -

Burfday-dinner-in-advanced with Jes...
We met up 2 days before Jes's burfday.. due to Mung hafta rush back to KL on the next day for her test... She couldn't stay for another day to join us for the dinner at Bella..
We brought her to our favJapz Rest... the one beside Jemput Tree.. I alwiz can't remember it's name.. eventhough I've had several visits to it... don't mind me~
No doubt.. Mung likes the ambience in there too~! 3 of us happened to eaten at home.. for the sake of unexpected-cooked-dinner from mum/ aunty.. thus, we tried the side orders and Ice-cream this round...


17 July, 2008... Thursday~ JES'z 23rd buRfday!!

Seafood Risotto.. it served with big prawn.. squid, Mussel and fish.. in tomato paste.. it gained no satisfaction from me... I supposed the chef didn't use the Aborio Rice to prepare this risotto but used the normal local grain instead... I claimed this isn't a qualified risotto-to-be... Aborio Rice supposed to be short and round.. kinda similar with the japanese rice.. but look at this.. I guess they just used the long grain rice like what local used to serve as rice.. I felt so dissapointed while seeing this...ashamed that I was so thrilled and looking forward to have it since the moment I browsed the menu from the web the day before we headed for dinner... I believe the risotto I cooked in Aussie is nicer than this...!!! Khuang might agree with me too !

(p/s: it tastes isn't bad.. just it can barely be categories as a nice risotto recipe.. Seafood Rice in tomato paste it could be...)

Xandra: Fettucine w Salmone...Boon: Spagetthi Marinara in tomato paste... I supposed it is about the same recipe with my risotto..
Khuang: Lamb...
Bella Italia Signature Tiramisu.... It was the 2nd time I had Tiramisu in my life.. the 1st time was the Tiramisu I MADE for my ai cheng, Mung during her burfday... thus, I can't rily give much commend on this... Anyhow, I believe it was good... since I've heard from many ppl saying that the most yummy Tiramisu found in Penang is in Bella Italia...

One thing that can't deny was... it was very very smooth...!!!
this stewpig thought his bubbly face is not plum enuf... he he..
take note of the words written on top of the cake... I got no idea why Steffie they all given Jes such a name tho..
Happee Burfday, my pal.. I'm glad that I could spend this day with ya...

We off to Coffee Bean for 2nd round, as thought B em will be coming over to join us..

Belgium Chocolate... Coffee Bean has neva been my favor ever... perhaps itz breaky does attract me but not da beverages... No Way!! since itz coffee neva reached my satisfaction.. I ordered this choc drink... it tasted far diff from any choc drink I had in Aussie... another disppointment...

I heard her name for few years.. finally I gotta meet her in person, Zi Wen, pretty-ex-house-mate of Jes & Jen...
he is his high-skool-mate while she is my primary-skool-mate.. hehe... ^^
3 more months to go... can't wait to meet this lil baby-boi...^^

Manhattan Fish Market

5 August' 08, Tuesday..
Today was Saw Fong, our team leader, last day in DELL... *sniff
we had a farewell lunch with her at Manhattan Fish Market in Qbay...

Tiramisu with Love Letters... quite smooth.. Cynthia likes it very much.. but the smooth-est still... belongs to the one from Bella Italia...
Mushroom Soup... I can't really taste much cream/ milk in it.. which Classic Mushroom Soup should be tasted like.. instead.. I think they just added the corn statch into the clear soup.. in order to make it become chowder...

We've ordered few Seafood Platter for sharing..

The platter was made up of deep fried fish fillet, calamari, mushroom, and prawns. Served together with chips and garlic rice.

The grilled one comes with Prawns, Calamari, Mussels and fillet...

Saw Fong used up the lunch credit in her account to buy all of us some drinks... I chose my fav Grape & Aloe Vera Peel Fresh~ ^^ there is a banana-treat from Ivan... I still prefer baby banana... tastes smoother yet sweeter...

Genting - Joey Concert

we were heading to Joey's concert.. no special feeling since we ain't her fans tho....

they looked lovely... coincidently..they both wore the same-green-polo-tee.. my daddy`uncle`Aaron` Cayden & Jes were not joining us for the concert.. unfortunately.. uncle fell sick in a sudden.. luckily Jes was there.. she helped to look after Aaron and let uncle to take rest at hotel.. Jes accompanied Aaron to play the indoor-theme-park-games... she succeed to utilise her 'pro-technique' to play lotsa games wif Aaron for Free... ""salute~ during that few hrs.. many funny jokes had happened on em.. he he
anyway... we appreciate for her help~!!!
awaiting Joey to come out.. the concert wasn't fulled afterall...
she is so Skinny!!! a lot more skinny than the Joey on screen.. a week before the concert.. I watched her Hk concert at Linna's... she looked far slimmer than previous... was like Sammi ~
last costume... during encore..
it was very worth that we chose to watch the 2nd show... she came out for extra show after the encore session... we 'earned' few more songs which weren't in the planned schedule.. she sang wutever delicated by the audience... one lucky fan got to go up to the stage and sing together with her.. she couldn't help but kept crying throughout the whole song.. no doubt that lucky girl was singing very well too... Cry doesn't make any diff...

the last fw pics taken before leaving the highland..
itz so ridiculous that.. We Din go to outdoor during the whole trip at all... apparently.. I didn't get to wear my jumple which i had spent long time to think which one to bring along...


i kept laughing while seeing the post of this lazy pigguie...

Ah Yat Abalone @ Genting

We had our dinner at Ah Yat Abalone... the foods are OK but the services were Terrible !!!
the waitresses looked like working under unwillingness at all...
they did their parts to serve you.. just for the sake of providing you the whole-course-of services as what you've paid... can hardly hope for a lil smile from their faces.. not daring to require anything from em tho.. we all getting so mad looking at their Million-Faces..
they change plates after every dish... They won't even wait until you finished your foods.. my aunt was eating her foods with the fork we asked for my cousin while they were changing our plates for us.. she was Eating-Halfway.. the waitress took away the fork from my aunt's hand.. she was just So Rude !! my sis was freaked out and looking at her... we all felt so speechless and upset with the services provided...
each of us ordered a set-meal.. I don't favor abalone nor shark-fin, thus I shared the set with Jes...
it starts with a Shark-Fin Dried Scallop Soup as the appetizer.. it was nice..

followed by the main-course - Abalone and Stewed Goose Web with Vege in Ah Yat Special style...

besides the Set... they ordered this Seafood Hor Fun... it tasted not bad too...

I like this, BBQ Sliced Pork (Bacon) stuffed Yam..
Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice.. with dried scallop and shrimp..
Dessert are Fresh Blend Almond Soup and Bird Nest Egg Tarts...

Here's the package menu...
