How To Make A Man Happy:

1. Leave him alone

Dinner with Oatie.

Finally had the opportunity to meet up with Oatie over dinner after an infinity of misses and postpones, I think the last time I met her was way back in August, 2006 (wedding dinner's an exemption because I only got to say Hi, Eat More & Have Fun). Jacklyn tagged along because her initial dinner kaki, couldn't make it in the last minute.

Anyway, of late, Jacklyn seems to be really addicted to Sushi Zanmai (it was Manhattan Fish Market previously) so, don't bother asking her suggesting for a place to dine, just head there directly.

Sushi Overdose! Thanks to Mr.Junn, I'm now hooked to the Roasted Tamago thingy Sushi and the Crabstick thingy Sushi every single time I dine in Sushi Zanmai

Oatie and Jacklyn.

Myself, Oatie who I am currently in the process of poison-ing her to get a Speedlite hehehe and a torn wallpaper.

Jed & Jacklyn, already married for more than 6 months but still behaving like kids.

Oh, if you're into online clothes shopping, here's another one for you, Fushimii, owned by, needless to say, Oatie. She maintains a blog as well but as of current time, its more dead than mine lols.

Father's Day.

Was dragged out of bed early in the morning by Jacklyn to attend some Make Your Own Sausage Bun class somewhere in Mont Kiara. The class's supposed to be a Father's Day thingy, for parents and their children to bond and all that. I do not recall how she managed to persuade me to attend such an event, it was supposed to be her father instead initially.

But I recall her father rejecting and saying something along the line of her making/buying him the bun instead of having him made them on Father's Day. I must have then been blackmailed as a last resort.

The Venue. So, on Father's Day, I was surrounded kids that weren't mine. How ironic.

The pastry with sausages we made whilst waiting for the kneading process (by the machine) to be completed. Very simple anyone-can-do it stuff since the pastry can be bought from any super-marts in the form of sheets, ready made. Guess which one's mine (hint: Ugly)

Kneading the dough after dumping everything in. Does cooking make me look any sexier than I already am? And the answer to the question above revealed, the one I'm pointing at would be my masterpiece which lasted only 2 minutes Nom Nom Nom

Jacklyn cutting the kneaded and raised dough which feels all warm, soft and fluffy into pieces of 30 grams which would then be rolled into a long string and braided together. I had this strong urge to rest my head on the dough at that time.

Our final products (the sausage buns) before applying the egg wash, parsley, sesame and cheese. Didn't take anymore pictures of the buns because too occupied with Jacklyn's colleague's kids. Again, guess which one's mine (hint: Ninja)

And the moment of truth, the verdict from our parents (because its Father's Day so we passed the Sausage Buns to them and didn't try them buns ourselves):

Jac's Parents: Surprisingly, it tasted quite good
Jed's Parents: Not bad, better than the ones bought from market

Anyway, in case you're interested in attending cooking courses which are not limited to just making Sausage Buns, below are some details. Unfortunately, you won't be getting any discounts by mentioning my name nor blog because I'm not that influential, yet *laughs*

The Cooking House (just around Soul'd Out)
20-1, Jalan 31/70A,
Desa Sri Hartamas,
50480 Kuala Lumpur.

That's It (HK Finale).

Traveled to Sam Sui Po to have one of the better curry fish balls. Approved by our resident curry fish ball consumer, Miss Cherrie Chan, who had tried a few around (HK) before

Us having the balls at the lorong beside the shop (notice balls on table in thick satay + curry sauce). Pretty spicy stuff as illustrated by Jacklyn and Brandon

Hui Lau Shan, taken earlier in the morning when the shop has yet to open, serves some of the best mango based desserts I have ever tasted in my life (so far). And guess what, it's just located across the street from our hotel

Irresistible. This is the Dunno what Mango with Extra Mango and Mango pudding plus Mango Ice Cream Nom Nom Nom. Why KL takde one?

Us at Lui Yan Kai doing some last minute shopping (and souvenir shopping as well) before making our way to the airport which made me realize that my (and Jacklyn's) Octopus card did not have enough credit

And thus, ends my series of Hong Kong trip posts which spanned like forever due to unwillingness to edit all the photos at once. It was indeed a really awesome and should remain at the top of my most memorable trip list for a long, long time, thanks Pete! At current time, still slowly recovering from the financial damage done for this trip over there and at the same time, thinking of planning for the next one *smiles*
