Hello folks,
Welcome back again to yet another edition of the gathering & food in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations. Today is the third day of Chinese New Year and I've reunion with my mom's side relatives and we absolutely had a nice time there enjoying our food. We have to be there as early as 5.45pm because we had booked a table at 6.00pm evening. Once we got seated, the waiter immedietely served us with the food package that we've ordered.
The food overall was totally nice and delicious. We ordered about 7 dishes + 1 extra dish. Yee Sang is our first dish followed by Shark Fin Soup, whole pig skin, cod fish, prawn, mushroom & vegetables as well as a plate of fried mee. We are also afraid that it was not enough for us, so we ordered an additional dish which is the 'loh mai' (glutinous) rice. I love the Yee Sang and the whole pig skin as it was very delicious. Among all the dishes, I totally hate the fried mee because it was very smelly with the mee's flavour taste ('kan sui') and I tell you that nobody would finish up that plate and it left a lot before we left. (see pictures). *Note: pictures of yee sang with abalone is only for own add-ons only. Original yee sang does not comes with abalone :)
The price meanwhile is not so expensive. The portion overall dishes is very big and it's value for money. I believe you won't get it in Kuala Lumpur as well. We overestimate the dishes as we taught that it would not be enough for us to consume so we've ordered extra dish but eventually it was totally enough for 13 of us (including some childen too). It was a super large portion and enough for all of ud to consume. The price is RM710.00 (including tax) and the orginal package we took is RM618.00 + the glutinous rice which costs about RM40.00. Overall, it was well worth it because the food is totally nice. Besides the Tuck Kee that I went yesterday, this restaurant Pusing Public Seafood Restaurant in Ipoh Town also serves nice, delicious and quality food with money worth guarantee. A must go restaurant! Totally Recommended! :) MY RATING: 5/5

We arrived at Tuck Kee Restaurant at Pasir Pinji in Ipoh. This table was book by one of my relatives and we arrived there almost 8.00pm and immedietely the food were served. We took the RM388 package (2 tables) and the food portion was rather big as well. There were 'Lou Sang', Duck, Vegetables, 'Fook Sau' Noodles, pork & a dessert. Based on the price, it was very worth it as well. Overall, the dishes were nice and the most recommended is the Fook Sau Noodles. It symbolizes the long life noodles where when you eat the noodles, you will be long life. Check out the photos!

Chinese New Year is celebrated in mostly Asian country including Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries as well. In Malaysia, Chinese New Year was celebrated in a joyous and wonderful mood. On the eve of the Chinese New Year, family will get together to enjoy the reunion dinner which symbolizes harmony, peace and gathering. Besides that, the Chinese Community would hang tanglung, 'ong lai' (pineapple), flowers as their decorations at their homes which symbolizes good luck and prosperity.
Childen will be the happiest among all during Chinese New Year because they will get an angpow for the eldest who have already get married. Besides, those who haven't get married will get an angpow too. Cookies and other drinks will be served during Chinese New Year as it marks the new year celebration in a bang! The most famous dishes among the Chinese during the Lunar New Year is 'Yee Sang' or 'Lou Sang'. This is a raw fish filled with different vegetable mince where we get to mixed together which symbolizes everything is good throughout the new year (see pics).
Here is my personal message whereby if you are travelling on the road, please drive carefully and stay focus on the road. Don't drink and drive too. Drive slowly and don't rush yourself because your family is waiting for you at home wanting you to return home safely. Enjoy yourself during this festive season and remember to drink more water to keep yourself healthy on a hot chinese new year. Happy Reunion Dinner and Happy Tiger Year to you all. Stay tuned on my blog for more latest Chinese New Year activities happening throughout this week.
Normally, Valentine's Day is a day where couples meet up together and they will preferrably celebrated it during dinner time where they will normally dine in restaurants. But some prefer to dine at home where they will have candlelight dinner as well. Then the male will normally buy presents for their love ones including a bunch of flowers, a box of chocolates etc. Some say, during Valentine's Day, it a day to have sex together to strengthen the relationship. It vary and depends on the individuals.

You won't know that you might end out with something pretty special after the outings. :) So why not give it a try yeah?

My present to Kimmy is a bunch of artificial flowers with teddy bear and a musical box. Her present to me is a Padini Shirt and a box of chocolates. I love it so much and would like to say Thank You to Kimmy for her wonderful presents. Happy Early Valentine's Day. 
Today is Saturday and it's a week shy of Valentine's Day. It was a wonderful day perhaps for us because both ME and Kimmy decided to celebrate this year's Valentine's Day a week earlier since next week is Chinese New Year already as I will be out of town. So, I have decided to bring her to 1 Utama yet again to try out a concept restaurant located at the new wing here. It's inside the VOIR concept store and this restaurant is owned by them as well. It was a cozy and romantic restaurant just for everyone here as it was filled with a garden themed restaurant. Kimmy & I was very impressed with the decorations here and I would love to come back again for dining. We reach there around 8.15pm and have to wait about 15 minutes to be seated because that time, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. Once we sat down on the chair, the waiter immedietely bring us the menu and the service was great too. I would rate good for their service and the waiter know how to makes jokes to us as well. Lovely!
We looked at the menu and finally we have decided what to eat and order because there are actually not much variety to choose from. Although they did serve a lot of category of food but the food choices are pretty limited as well. I've ordered Speghetti Marinara (RM17.90) and a teapot of Green Tea (RM5.90). Kimmy ordered Garden Black Pepper Chicken (RM17.90) and a teapot of Darjeeling Tea (RM5.90). We've also ordered Cream of H20 - Cress Soup (RM7.90) as our starter too. Let's go straight to the comments. For mune Speghetti Marinara, it was a totally wonderful. The taste is very nice as the seafood provided on the speghetti was very fresh indeed (prawns & oyster). The taste was just nice as it will be not too sour or too sweet. I love it very much and would give full marks for this one. A must try for this dish but the portion is just a little too small and perhaps not enough for you (guys). The Green Tea meanwhile was imported from England and the taste was just normal and nothing special about it. Kimmy's Garden Black Pepper Chicken was also not bad according to her. The taste was just nice as it was not too hot as well. I've tried some and I found out that the chicken meat was very fresh and pretty soft too. Once put in the mouth, it was nice and mouth watering too. The portion also pretty less and suitable for Kimmy. For the Deejarling Tea, it was much more better than mine Green Tea. The Deejarling Tea was also imported from England and it was much fragrant and was a bit bitter was well and it suits my taste. I would recommend you to try out Deejarling Tea compared to Green Tea if you are a tea lovers.
The Cream of H20 - Cress Soup meanwhile was very special indeed. Again I would like to stress that this soup is not very sweet nor not very tasteless as well and it was well cooked for its taste too. I am very impressed by the soup and I would recommend you to try out this soup as your starter. This soup also recommended by the chef of this restaurant. I love it as well as Kimmy too. We was happy enjoying the overall meal and we vowed to come back again for yet another visit some other time again. The price overall is pretty expensive with the portion of the food is pretty small too. But again I would like to say that if the food is good, then no matter how expensive it is, still worth paying it. The total of the food bill is RM61.05 (including tax) and for me it's very worth it. This year's Valentine's Day with Kimmy would be a special ones because we sat just next to the organ / piano and we manage to listen to so many romantic songs being played on that time. A lovely place to dine in and go have a try! No regrets! 
If you are a frequent traveller or need in handy, then this "Two Headed" Travel Teapot and Teacup is just suitable for you. Now let me tell you that it is very difficult to find this type of teapot cum teacup in the market and you can only find them either through the tea dealers or thru the tea shops around you. If you go the the supermarket or hypermarket, you will not find it. That's true! Well, this is very handy that comes with a Tea Infuser which seperates the tea leaves / flowers from the tea itself. You can find this handy product at Purple Cane Tea Shop in the Klang Valley and the price of this product is rather expensive as you think but it's worth and value for money if you always use it. Priced at RM128.00, this product can be functioned as a thermal (to keep the tea warm), a handy bottle for you to bring everywhere you want and to put in all kinds of tea that are sold in the market.
Besides this product also comes with a built-in straw which allows you to suck the tea too. It was an amazing product for those who love tea and I am sure you will get satisfied with it. Also, this product can also insert some coffee beans into it and drink when you pour in hot water. This product can cater temperatures up to 130 Degrees Celcius as it uses a high polimer plastic which obviously it can support very hot water too. This product is Made In Taiwan and it's imported as well. If you love tea or coffee, this product suits you most as you would love and enjoy the function of this product as this is useful for those are tea lovers.
