C-jade express roasted duck, mid valley

Yesterday i bought a duck from Crystal Jade rite.... so now it's time to eat it! mwahahahhaha!!!! mini d told the guy not to cut it up cos she was convienced she could do it herslef. but mini d being mini d is not a punctual person & i ended up bringing the duck back home whole & uncut... btw, i named it CJ Donald ^_^


CJ Donald, unwrapped... i thought it looked kinda small...


but after cutting, it was like, o, ok... quite a lot also :) wasn't sure how to heat up a roasted duck, hope it jadi...


the salty sauce & sweet plum sauce... mix together & eat with CJ donald, really yummy!


our lunch today... home grown kangkung fired with home grown chilies :) organic lei!


look at what's left of CJ Donald!


3 of us ate a whole duck, lol!


well, mummy said the duck was pretty good & big D said that it was really cheap for KL standard (RM30.25). i found it juicy & was glad to know that they had a paste like seasoning & use authentic spices... yummy yummy, lucky thing i don't live in KL, else i would have duck everyday! lol... & yes, we were all stuffed, as usual...

kl trip 24/8/10, madam kwan's & crystal jade express

i went to KL today to look for mini d who wanted to bring me on a self sponsored shopping spree =_= she made me lug a tonne of stuff up to KL for her! as if only in mlk can buy jusco detergent, babi...


i hate mini d for this.


i found that mini d & her roomies were hooked on RTC items, lol


RTC items were everywhere!


see!!


this fella lagi chialat...


then i found my old jacket which i gave to mini d & i could still wear it :)


mini d looks like the eveil antique statue in jonker walk


mini d claims i look like a cave woman here, lol


we took the KTM to mid valley... we got to sit on the ladies only coach, no biggie...


waiting, so long as usual


on the way back, there was a man in the ladies only coach! then the guard came & halau him, hehehehe


upon reaching mid valley, we had to solve our primary problem of deciding where to eat =_=


mini d chose madam kwan's cos she claims she needs to eat spicy lemak-ish food since mummy dun wan her to come home in a rush for raya...


mini d


mE ^_^v


madam kwan's

i got these since i ordered curry laska


i love curry laksa! can hardly find it in melaka, it's either nyonya laksa or mee curry, no curry laksa :(


mini d said she loved her mango shake, very rich indeed...


mini d's food is here & she ate my sambal!!!


nasi lemak with anchovy sambal, 2 pieces of rendang chicken, egg, timun & floss with a saucer of acar


me picking at the chillies & mint leaves


mini d's mango shake


mini d filled to the brim!


seriously, it came out the other end a few hours later, lol


the food there was rich & mini d was satisfied & felt like ordering another =_= so greedy!


mini d trying to call for the bill


this is the toilet in gardens where mini d disposed off her stuff


i was bored while waiting for mini d


before we went home, i decided to buy a duck for the oldies...


crystal jade express had 50% off their duck & CJ la mien xiao long bao had 50% off suckling pig...


wanna eat here on my next trip :)


me & my mini d who almost made me miss my bus, again!


i didn't have time to go fetch some stuff from mini d's hostel as mini d is always not punctual!!!

we were supposed to go to pavillion as well.... & maybe to the kitchen ware shops in chow kit... well mini d said i should go up again on 1 october to help her pindah barang balik rumah, hahaha...

King's & i Thai Restaurant

i had somehow promised the old farts dudes that i'd bring them to thailand... one dude was supposed to go there for her birthday with her frens but tak jadi... the other dude... it was a bribe to ensure i had a ride home from work over the weekend =_= since i worked like so long (hence the break in blogging) i kinda got a big headache... i woke up kinda early (10am) still with the headache :( so i put on my coolfever (my new best fren) & went back to bed :)


my cool fever... i think the oldies were kinda afraid that the "belanjawan" for today was not gonna get outta bed...


belanjawan feeling all better in her new dress! jadi go pula...


this is mummy.


Big D at the left corner of the pic.... king's hotel is in ayer keroh, King's & I restaurant is at level 1. the coffee house is below.


they have a really nice ambience with nice settings too :)


full table set up. gives a "fine-dinning" kinda feel... the chairs are comfy & there are private rooms available.


wow, their order system has floor plan & indicators to which table is vacant! better than micros!


the napkins match the table cloth


big D was sad he wasn't allowed to order his kerabu chicken (which wasn't even thai)


trying to convince us it is so


mummy, happy that she dun need to cook & pay


ta da! mieng kam!!! it came quite fast. they had already wrapped it up nicely for us :)


we just had to add our own sauce. it was delicious! i love mieng kam! i can eat 2 plates of these man!


there was a chili padi but i tossed it into mummy's cone :)


big D with his 3rd cone


mummy with her 4th :)


then came my 4 hor d'oeuvre combination :) spring rolls, top hats, bean salad & pandan chicken. all was really yummy but the salad was super duper hot!


pineapple boat fried rice, had ham, raisins, pineapple, capsicums, cashew nuts & floss.


Phad Thai ~ thai char kuey tiao. wonder how they made the egg net


the pad thai condiments


my blue rice :) hehehe, they boil it with morning glory flower...


beef soup, yummy, had kang kung in it too :) delicious


close up of my pad thai condiments


green curry. it had "baby egg plant" the pea like thing which mummy said was bitter... it was nice of them to use all boneless chicken but the green curry at My Elephant was creamier, though it did not have much meat.


we being piggy ppl still had room for dessert :)


when big D asked for toothpicks, they came with mentos, so nice :)


fried bananas with ice cream


mango, pulut & coconut cream, been dying to try this for ages!


finish ^_^v


our bill was so long it couldn't fit nicely into the bill folder, lol


we ordered a total of 10 items, hehehe...


our waitress, Ms May Zon Oo, was really nice. even though she's from myanmar, she was able to explain thoroughly on the dishes we ordered & how we supposed to eat it :) i gave her a tip & she gave us a flyer with a coupon for a 5% discount on our next trip ^_^v mummy loved it & there IS gonna be a next trip with a different belanjawan this time, lol
