Last weekend was eventful. I was at friend’s house warming party, bowling outing and celebrating Yung’s birthday at Ed’s.
I decided to take my new camera on a test run. Many said the colors are not as vivid as the ones taken by Canon cameras. What to do? I got myself the cheaper Casio Exilim Z850 due to tight budget. You be the judge.
Bowling – I played pretty badly as usual. I just don’t think I am cut for bowling, even though I emerged top 10 in a list of 24 players in office. Of course lah, if you play with si lais and makciks! Hahahaha!
The night at friend’s house warming party – her place was really cozy. It’s good to have a contractor as husband. You tend to get the best in everything at a fraction of costs! I didn’t take pictures there as I was busy stuffing my face with food and passing cruel remarks on a fellow colleague.

After bowling, we went to Ying Ker’s Hakka Restaurant because I was dying to try out the Hakka Dim Sum. I had home made Hakka Dim Sum once (thanks to WY’s mom!) and since then, I had cravings for it.
The Hakka Dim Sum at Ying Ker’s is uhm.. quite okay lah… I am kinda disappointed. I guess probably nothing beats home cooked food.

We tried other dishes as well and now I know, the pork belly with fungus which you could normally find in “chap fan” (mixed rice) restaurant is a hakka dish.

After bowling and lunch at Ying Ker’s, I went home for awhile to freshen up and headed to Ed’s place for the lovely Yung’s birthday. It is indeed such a blessing to have Ed cooking for all of us for our birthdays! Happy birthday to Yung! May you always be blessed with happiness, lotsa love and kindness as you always have been to us.

zing: When I got home with the scones, I forgotten that I overshot your house. Hahahahah. Next time lah.
leemeiee: Actually ah, it was pita bread and the stuffing is made of minced otak otak and cheese. You just need to pop it in the oven and voila, you get otak-otak pizza.
ml: Nice lah the pizza. I had bits of everything.

leemeiee: Ed is always a genius.
Jane: I am glad I didn’t disappoint you. Hahahah.
Colourmecrazy: Taste like otak otak lor. With cheese and pita bread, it’s indeed out of this world.
Zewt: I don’t have a SLR, so I didn’t do it for money. I just do it as favors for friends’ wedding. The pics I took - ok la. Not too bad. This would be the 7th free wedding photography for friends. *Sigh*
laymank: We can make it if my sis goes down to Johor and bring back the otak otak! Can’t wait till can play masak masak in your new house!
asme: Yes.. I have the whole week of food in one weekend! And I wonder why am I so fat? LOL

Kleio: You ought to try home made hakka dim sum.. wait a minute.. I thought you are a Hakka?
September 19th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
u should really consider taking it up though… it’s really really good money you know… maybe i should blog about this… turning one’s hobby into a career.

Zewt: You think so? Taking pics of scenic places and people are not the same worr. You haven’t seen me taking pics of a lot of people. Thanks for your vote of confidence though! Appreciate it!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:04 am
Yup. You got that right. I am Hakka alright. And a pure one to boast. Just that I know nothing about the Hakka heritage. I am a sad case of a Hakka. LOL. Cum you can kick my ass for being such a lousy Hakka ren. Hahahahaha. Anyhow, I have tasted Hakka Yung Tao Fu before. It’s superb!

Hakka Yung Tau Foo?? I think every Chinese clan food is very good. It depends whether you like them or not.
