Chili Beans Day

Today's dinner is prepared by Chef Daddy. We had bought the ingredients earlier this week as we knew that Ah Ma is not around this weekend (she's gone to KL with Uncle Sin Chuan, Aunty Amy, Tou-tou, Bo-Boh Poh and Ian).

So we prepared the chili beans and had it slowly simmer to bring out the flavor. Today's batch was made with 2kg of beef!! Tonight's menu had:

Coney dog with beans

Taco's with beans

Fries with beans

We had homemade salsa, sour cream and also guacamole to top with our dinner options. It's been a long time since we've had chili bean night.. it was delicious!

To the Condo

Kiddies went to the condo today with Ah Kong (Ah Ma is in KL for a holiday). Guess who's the driver today:

Sunday in Batu Feringghi

We had to leave early to eat breakfast then drop Mei-mei at Karate. So we headed to the Tanjung Bungah market for breakfast. We were lucky to find a table quite easily. The foodcourt was rather packed, so while the food arrived fairly quickly, it took us quite a while to get our drinks ordered and served.

Dropped you at the dojo then headed back home. Daddy needed to pick up his laptop as he had something which he needed to work on. Picked you up and found out that our piggy was too lazy to wake up. So Ah Ma and Ah Kong headed to the Astaka Hillside to buy duck rice. 

We also decided to head there thinking we'd join them there (did not realise that they planned to "tar pau" lunch). In the end, it was just the 3 of us enjoying our lunch. You ordered the quesadilla while I tried this hotdog. 

Then we stopped by this place daddy wanted to try out (we should have eaten here had we known that the rest are not at the foodcourt!!). Ordered a sandwich and also the cold cuts and cheese platter.

Ham and Cheese sandwich

You all went swimming later in the evening. Just as we were leaving, we met 4 Teo Kong who had also dropped by the pool. Invited them over for some drinks. 

Then daddy and I headed out with Ko-ko to buy back some dinner. We bought something at Astaka again and also headed to the dumpling shop to pick up more frozen dumplings and some fried rice. 

4 Teo Kong and Ee Poh dropped by just as we were finishing dinner. Chatted a while before they headed back as Ee Poh was just recovering from vertigo. 

Then we had our cold cuts and cheese as well as this white wine before calling it a night. 

Supper!

Imagine, you still have place in your tummy for supper.. I'd say it's more because you were intrigued by the super big fries serving!

Everyone had to help you finish up the chips!

Birthday Celebration

We didn't plan to have any celebration. But in the end, still went ahead since Mr Evan Ban kept asking why no celebration. So daddy found this restaurant "Gourmet & Wine Co." in Tanjung Tokong. It's a good idea since we're staying at the condo this weekend. 

We initially booked for 7.30pm, but since you kids could not swim and were starting to feel hungry, we decided to start our dinner earlier. 
After ordering our food, the manager/maître d helped to take a family photo for us:

The bread came out first. But after that, it was a rather long wait. We ordered a few extra servings of bread while waiting for our mains to be served:

Iberico Pork Chop

Beef Ribeye

Porchetta

Gambas

As we had ordered 2 portions of steak, we were given 1 free bottle of wine and daddy bought another bottle:

The food was quite good, despite the wait. The manager was quite apologetic for the wait. But it was a pleasant dinner with family.

Long Weekend in Bayu

We came up to stay yesterday evening. Packed both cars and headed over. Daddy, Mei-mei and I left first, headed to Jaya Grocer to pick up some stuff for the house while Ko-ko left a little later with Ah Kong and Ah Ma. He's the designated driver nowdays. We were a little early leaving Jaya Grocer, so we even went for a drive to find out about a couple of eating places which daddy had discovered on Google Maps.

We settled down for the night and the next day, daddy left (super) early to have breakfast before going off for his golf game. We decided to try out the new dumpling place which daddy had found. Ah Ma did not want to join us, saying that she wasn't hungry. So it was just the 4 of us. Ko-ko drove us there with me sitting in front to give him directions to the place. The shop is called "饺子掂 DIAN". The specialty is the many different types of dumplings. So we ordered a few and also noodles and fried rice (or else we will need to order 50 dumplings for Ko-ko). 

We were impressed with the dumplings, and so we even bought some frozen ones to bring back home. 

Then we headed home to relax. Ko-ko got bored, and took out toothpaste to clean up the leather seats for the dining table:

Took Mei-mei down for a swim. Unfortunately, the pool was overrun by a bunch of China people. Warned Ko-ko so he decided against swimming. After a while, Mei-mei and I also went back up.
