Tony Romas

This week, Peach, Uncle Suragan's daughter came to visit...
We brought her to Tony Romas' to eat...
She is here on a trip for YFC (Youth For Christ) to get train in evangelism...














We started with Mushroom Soup... $6.90
Like every other mushroom soup... nothing special... i really wanted to have the french onion soup... but it wsa not available. Too bad... 3/5










We also had the appetizer sampler... $17.90
This consist of Mozzarella Stick, Potato Skins, Fire Wings with 3 different sauces.
I really like the mozzarella sticks... it tastes like pizza cheese with tomatoes... :) yummy... Potato skin is okie... a bit salty but the fire wings, my dad didn't like it... so overall i'll give it 3.5/5











For main course, we had Ocean Feast... $52.90
Nothing to rave abt... the prawn was alright... chewy and fresh... the calamari was not really nice, a bit too thick for me... but if u like it thick, u'll enjoy it... the fish was... okie... overall, 3/5










We of course had the baby back ribs with chicken combo... $28.90

It was good... i enjoyed the ribs tendered and soft... yummy... the chicken was nice too... very tender and sweet... nicely barbecued... 4/5











My conclusion about Tony Romas' Just go for the ribs... it's not worth for the rest... sorry... :/

Mcdonald's Oreo Cheesecake

My good friends would know, i'm crazt abt Oreo cheesecakes...

On Sunday, decided to go try Mcdonald's Oreo Cheesecake...

My Critique... Not cheesy enough... Not as nice as Starbucks or TCC, or N.Y.D.C...

I think the best is still N.Y.D.C... thanks Ian for the recommendation... :)

Haha... nope i'm not going to tell you much abt our trip there... and it's not cfm that we'll be going there for our next church camp... we just went to see the hotel and the sites... we saw a good site there... but we'll go to malaysia to see the other hotels and sites there too... :)
I really thank God i got the chance to get to know Sonia (Siao Shi) more... keke... we talked alot during this trip... abt work, abt relationship, abt her hometown as well... hopefully will get to talk to her more in during our next trip to KL... :)

History Museum

After the steamboat, we walked to the History Museum to watch the performance...

It was really nice... but alot of pple... Ber was getting cranky... so we went off... But i managed to take some photos of the dance... they did lots of stunts in the air... one of the nicest was the one with the paino in the air... I was thinking of Grace when i saw this... haha... Grace is a very talented painist in my church... :)

... Our Gifts ...

What gifts did we get each other? Actually we didn't intend to get each other anything... Haha... but guess we have telepathy... haha... We went to eat Steamboat the next day... (Which i only discover today that Bernard doesn't like) I bought him a starbucks water bottle... which he has been complaining of wanting to change his bottle... :) and he bought me a shirt... i really really like this... went far east a few times to see... but very ex... haha... so happy he buy for me... :)

...Hotel California...

After dinner, we went downstairs and saw them performing... They were singing the song "Hotel California" by the Eagles...
I really like this song... i think alot of pple had a misconception abt this song saying that it is satanic and stuff... so i went to research and this is what i found...

The song's lyrics describe the title establishment as a luxury resort where "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." On the surface, the song tells the tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared inviting and tempting. The song is generally understood to be an allegory about hedonism and self-destruction in the Southern California music industry of the late 1970s; Don Henley called it "our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles"[2] and later reiterated "[i]t's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about."[3]

During a July 17, 2008 appearance on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio, Don Felder described the origins of the lyrics:

"Don Henley and Glen wrote most of the words. All of us kind of drove into LA at night. Nobody was from California, and if you drive into LA at night... you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights, and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have, and so it was kind of about that... what we started writing the song about. Coming into LA... and from that Life In The Fast Lane came out of it, and Wasted Time and a bunch of other songs."

The abstract and metaphoric nature of the song has led listeners to their own interpretations over the years, including some claims, spread by word of mouth and internet, of Satanic aspects. Other rumors suggested that the "Hotel California" was a mental hospital, a real hotel run by cannibals, or a metaphor for cancer. These claims have been consistently refuted by the band.[4]

This band is a three piece acoustic band that had been performing at Indochime Wisma... if you had pass by there, you would probably have heard them singing and playing... :)

Jeff Catz (Vocal/Guitar), Mido (bass) & Alfie (Lead Guitar)
If you have time, go see them perform at Central at Clark Quay till 10 Aug i think... :)

It's here.... :)

Happy 2nd Anniversary Ber Ber... :)
Yeah... It's finally here... 17 July 2008... :)

Bernard asked me what i wanted to do today...
I told him, "surprise me..." :)

And he did... i wish he prepared a bit more thou, instead of making me walk around with him to search for the restraunt... :) But i'm still happy that he bothered to plan and draft the night out for the both of us... I love you Ber... :) okie... before your hair starts to stand, here are the pics... :)

Ber brought me to "Ma Maison" at Central (Clark Quay)

I pass by this restraunt with Qiuyi previously at Bugis...

Wanted to try... but in the end, because of the long queue, we went some where else... But Ber made reservation... So... Yeah...
It's a French-Japanese Restraunt... :)


















I really love the interior design of the restraunt... Very cosy, yet spacious... you know how it's like when a restraunt is famous and very busy, there is hardly space to walk and squeezy... but it was okie... lot's of space and it gave a really comfortable feeling... :)

Here is what we had... :)

Escargots baked with garlic butter - $9.50

Yummy... really yummy... :)

Snails... it was good... i hate to say this, but it was as good, if not better than Jack's place... :) chewy, bouncy and delicious... :) The sauce was great... 5/5

Clam Chowder soup... $5.50

A few weeks ago, me and ber were at Long John and i really really wanted to have the clam chowder soup and he didn't allow me to... :(
but i'm glad i didn't now... :p it was really nice... we drank every last drop... :) 4.5/5

Assorted Sausage - $11.80

I was missing my dad's sausage that he always made on weekends and decided to have this... conclusion, i prefer my dad's... i was good... but nothing special... sorry... 3/5


Okie... this is a bit out of place...

but i like this lamp... very nice the color don't you think?

Haha... again... me and colors... :)




Omu-Rice - $14.80
This was quite highly recommended... i found it kinda weird to eat rice at a french restraunt... but since it was recommended, i thought i would try... I think... okie la... the butter rice was rice, the egg was okie and the beef was tender... overall, nothing to rave about la... Okie... :) - 3.5/5


Curry rice Japanese Style - $14.80
Bernard with the recommendaton of Eric had this... Not bad... the curry was nice... the chicken was tender... all in all, okie... 3.5/5















And this was our key to our bill... so cute right? haha... we had to present this to the counter to pay... so funny... all in all, i really enjoyed the meal, the ambience and everything else...
They don't only have rice... (it's just that we wanted to try...) they have steak and spagetti and all the other stuff too... Go try this restraunt... u won't regret it... :)

More art... :)
