Month with Love!!~

Everyone know February as a month of love but that's not all because it is all the best festive of the year, Chinese New Year which falls on this year February. It was the favorite seasons of mine which we get to eat & drink without any concern, get to gather with relatives and friends which we will only get to meet once a year.

 Decoration and preparation for Chinese New Year started 2 weeks before hand. Everyone was busy having spring cleaning, buying necessary things and most of all, New Year stall along China Street were setting up and ready to be open a week before Chinese New Year.

Reunion dinner on Chinese New Year eve was the most excited moment every waits for. It is when we start countdown time to welcome the brand new year of Lunar Calendar. There's so much of different dishes that represents different meaning for different dialect of people. Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien and FooChow have their own dishes for reunion dinner that represents luck and prosperous. My family, having the same dishes every year but there's something additional that my mum tried out this year.


There's taboos that we used to follow for CNY which my family still practice until today. As a child, we were just following what our parents said. However, there's something that change over time. Red is no longer the only colour we can have for the first day of CNY.

Final gathering before everyone back to work position which is quite an emotional day.
Of course, a group photo which is thing that we shouldn't have miss out.


When number of your age is increasing somehow festive seasons was time for you to actually gathered and catch up. We never really realized it when we were kids because we used to think the happiest thing to do while we were young was more of junk food, carbonated drinks and also "ang pow" a.k.a red packet.

When you are getting old, friendship, family and spending precious time for yourself  seems to be the most important thing to do rather just spending time in front of PC or at work because there's so many things in life  that gona makes life better. Undeniable that money is important, however without friendship and family, money is just nothing but paper.

Besties had been travelling together for years. Our promises to go for an adventure at least once a year. That's how we build our mental illness together.

Experienced lead and historical that touched hearts.  
Upon arrival, airport is beyond great. Many thought that Saigon is a city that even mosquito…

Asian Tapas @ Pullman Miri Waterfront

Image
Originating from Spain, Tapa or Tapas are small-portion meals circling around quality over quantity. At Pullman Kitchen, the selection of tapas is served with a blend of Asian flavours, hence Asian Tapas.
With 26 delectable dishes including 3 assorted dim sum plates, Asian Tapas comes with a wide range of dishes to select. Executive Chef Nelson and his team, the mind behind this concept, recommend Saute mussel with basil in cream sauce (also my favourite) 😋, Lamb cutlet with hoisin (oyster sauce) and rosemary sauce, Basil fried rice with chicken and also Laksa Sarawak. This wide range of toothsome plates is here to satisfy the "foodie" in everyone. 

Basil Fried Rice
Saute mussel with basil
The plates include a fusion of succulent Malaysian dishes infused with western influence. Ayam goreng berempah, Chicken or Beef satay with peanut sauce and Mini steak in brown sauce served with fries, are a MUST try for those who love fusion food.
