CNY Eve
Unlike previous years where we used to drive to Malaysia for the new year, this year, because I had classes on the eve, we took a plane instead. Ate at this place called TSC in Terminal 2. Initially, I was wondering what did TSC stand for and I asked aloud.
Me: What is TSC ar?
Father: Erm, Takashimaya Shopping Centre?
Me: -_-
After taking a closer look at the wet towels given, I realised that TSC stands for 'Tong Shui Cafe'.
Food wasnt that great though. The porridge was too watery, har kow was too small and the cheese-baked rice wasnt cheesy enough.
Checked in early and while walking around in the departure hall, I spotted this woodblock print thingy and was so fascinated by it. Quickly picked up a piece of paper and started shading away. After I finished shading, I looked up and realised that all the people who were doing the same thing as me were...kids. Ages ranging from 5~8. -_-
The plane that we took was so fucking cramped and luckily I had the aisle seat or else I think I would've died if I had the window seat. Of all the planes that I've taken in my life, not many I must add, this was the first one that instead of a safety video, that had a LIVE safety demostration! Then again, because the plane was so cramped, only the people seated in the aisle seat could see the demostration. Anyway, we were served drinks and after they did so, I was happily waiting for the meal to be served...simply because Zuji stated that there will be meals on this flight. In the end, I realised that the 'meal' was that dumb drink that they served...and I asked for water somemore. Hello...although the flight duration's short so they cannot actually serve a whole meal, cant they at least give peanuts or something to justify their costly air tickets?! In short, the flight sucked pretty bad.
Reached Malaysia, got driven back to my uncle's house, ate reunion dinner, stayed up late to pray, received ang pows from my grandmother and yup, of to bed.
CNY Day 1
Woke up late and luckily there was still nian gao left for me. Helped out in the kitchen and I peeled and grated mangkwang(turnip) for the first time in my life. Okay, didnt do it totally by myself because I'm damn bad at using the knife and had help from my auntie. Lunch was freaking delicious because it was cooked by my grandmother and I think I almost finished the plate of mushrooms that was placed right in front of me. Lazed around the house after lunch and went out shopping after that with my auntie, her son, my father and of course my grandmother! Went to this shopping centre called Sunway Pyramid and was awed by the number of activities that you can do there. They have a cinema there, bowling alley, ice-skating ring, ARCHERY place and of course, shopping centres. However, since it was the first day of the new year, most of the shops were closed. Walked around aimlessly for like half-an-hour or so before I finally managed to bag my first purchase of the day :D
After shopping, we ate dinner there as well. Look at the amount of sushi there! Plus, the sushi there is so much cheaper than Singapore!
The sashimi!!!
Dont ask me why but I didnt buy the sushi at all. Bought Takoyaki instead and was so freaking disappointed with it. Instead of using boiled octopus, they used octopus that you normally see on the cold dish at wedding dinners. Somemore, they added a mountain of this thing(I think that it was diced onions) that I've never seen people add in before. I had to wait around 10mins for them to...HEAT up the balls. WTF. It was freaking oily too and when I tried to lift one of the balls to my mouth with the satay stick, before I could even lift it up from the box, it came apart. -_- The taste sucked too.
Shared some chicken and mushroom hot plate with my grandmother. I think I am really bad in choosing food because this dished sucked pretty bad too. First of all, their gravy is like free or something because they added so much gravy to the extent that you could call it soup. Secondly, there was no mushrooms inside and they had only 3 miserable pieces of chicken that were probably on diet when they were alive. Thirdly, they gave us lots of rice but...what's the use? In the end, we went back to fill our stomachs with bak gwa instead.
