Nana de Memoirs~

Not only I work there often, but spend there often too. Yea, again, I am back to Matsu for some kind of birthday celebration. What a routine for me to go there…I really wish there are more places to dine out in Peterborough. Nevertheless, I got so many free food from my owner though. So, it’s a trade off thingy. And luckily, Lansdowne Place, a shopping mall in Peterborough, is having an expansion. I hope to will bring in more shops and choices for the poor consumers here.

The girl in the middle is the birthday girl. And she looks extremely like my 3rd sister!  Not only looks, but attitude as well!

And the random money on the table..-__-

Girls in action!

Fruits boat the restaurant would give as present for any birthday people. And the owner will also take picture and stick on the wall as memory which looks like this. 

Sin Chan’s mum, the princess, the bunny, pirate with beard and the mean kitty.

I shorten my fringe and my hair length is longer. I actually prefer me with longer hair…

 

Something extra. Siew cooked us Curry Laksa this morning and it taste like heaven! I am not lying but I almost teared after tasting it!

She tried her best looking for the ingredients. Instead of real meat, we got hot dog instead..lol.

 

It’s been a year since I last blog about Hari Raya! Time flies is all I can say. And today will be officially the last day of summer…T.T

So, this year, instead of paying for my own Raya food, I got invited to this open house held by Malays. The numbers of Malays in Trent increased dramatically because most of the juniors from Malaysia are Malays. There are 7 of them in total! Whoah~ They are here just in time since I need good food so much!

There was a girl from Bosnia who kept making compliments about the food! And I think she had 4 rounds in total! OMG~But undeniable, it’s super delicious.

So much! They brought those from home. 

It’s our flag!

All are malaysians except the girl besides me.

Hehe…

 

After so many times of passing by, I finally bought myself a meal from this restaurant. This restaurant is located on the way to downtown, so not strange that I would walk pass it at least few times in a week. Not able to resist our hesitation, the Korean and I went to have a try. 

Actually this is my 2nd time going, but failed to take any photos during my first time because I left my camera at home. I had chicken curry which cost $12.99cad and it tasted so much better than the real curry cook by real Indian..LOL

For the the second time, we had the special and one pizza. 

The atmosphere is great and with funky music. Great for drinking instead of eating.

We were the only customers during that time. Good idea to avoid the rush hour as our food will arrive faster. 

Big head Jae. 

The pizza $12.99. Bad quality of picture because of no flash.

Special $18.99. Oven baked chicken with potatoes. 

Overall, the food was not bad. But I did noticed something. I think the restaurant is not the best in preparing their specials but those on the menu are definitely worth trying. The more frequently you cook something, the better it gets.

p/s: All the food is prepared in an open kitchen and the ingredients they use are fresh too!

 

 

 

There are not much things I can do in Peterborough, but I always try my best to gain some dining experiences here. So, I went to this restaurant aka cafe 2 days ago in order to try out different cuisines that are available in this county.

I know this place because my lecturer told us to go as she thinks it’s one of the must-go places to dine out. 

Too blur without flash.

Chicken satay $13.99cad. Convert to ringgit, I can eat countless of the tastier version in Malaysia. 

Bami Goreng $13.99cad. Weird name and abit too salty.

However, because the place serves South Asian food which I started to have since I was a baby, so  overall it was quite a big disappointment. Maybe it tastes fantastic for the locals but certainly not me who is from a South East Asian country, Malaysia. 

Yeah…My life is boring as hell. Nothing new happened, no nothing! So I might just blog about the things about myself.

I don’t know why, I kept thinking about food I had back in Malaysia recently especially ones I had LONG time ago.

10. Egg Sweet(鸡蛋糖）

I personally don’t like sweet stuff but which kid never had sweet before? So, this is a sweet where it looks like birds egg. I always get it from the cafeteria because it’s only RM0.20 each. But the price had already increased because of inflation. I seriously hope someone would know which sweet I am talking about.

9. Sweet with plum inside

Heh, I actually can get this sweets in Canada. It’s so widely spread huh! You have to keep eating and be patient before you get to get the plump inside!

8. Sweetened dried coconut meat flakes

The one in school comes with 2 colours which are pink and white. I like to eat it very slowly because I like the taste of it in my mouth. I only like the one from school because the rest don’t taste like it at all. 

7. Mr. Potatoes Chips

I think the football player expression looks funny. LOL

This is the most expensive local brand in Malaysia. I can only had it once in a blue moon. And now in Canada, I can have Lays whenever I want! 

6. Da Fa fish stripes

You can find this in every houses during Chinese New Year. It’s like a symbol of CNY because no way you are not going to serve it to the guests. However, I don’t really like it anymore after I grew up. 

5. Mamee monster

It’s like normal noodles but the different is that you can eat it instantly without cooking it. You have  to crunch the noodles and put in the seasoning comes in the packet. There are many flavor but the one I like the most is BBQ~

4. Apollo Chocolate Layer Cake

Gosh…this is so memorable. I had so much of it because my sister like chocolate very much. So, she will always buy us extras.

3. Apollo milk wafer

I can’t find the milk flavour one! So, it looks something like this just the chinese characters will be different. It taste so good and so cheap as well.

2. Hotdog bun

There is a kind of vendor in Kuching where you sell stuff like vegetable, meat or anything else in a van! So, the van will just come over to your neighborhood and honk just to let you know that the van has arrived. Whenever the van that sells buns comes,my sister will treat us with different of sweet treats! And one of them is hotdog bun. However, it’s one of the more expensive kinds so we can only have it once in awhile. Instead, we get those where the bun topped with icing and chocolate which cost only 20cents that time!

1. Vanilla ice cream 

Even though I still like ice-cream alot but still not as much compare with when I was a kid. I don’t mind with the brand at all but I personally like the ice-cream sandwich.

And mostly the one I get is the cheapest brand which is 美利华. However, compare with the multinational brand like Baskin Robbin, I still like that the best!

 

I never thought I can have steamboat using a rice cooker only until today! Siew Lung came up with this idea that we can use a rice cooker instead of the real cooking pot or whatever you called it. At first, I was like: Is this going to works?? In the end, it turned out to be workable! So, whoever needs to have steamboat without buying the cooking pot can try this out! 

We have lettuce, broccoli, fish balls, fish cakes, sausages, squids, prawns, meatballs, tofu and etc.

HAHA…They are preparing for the ingredients! Btw, yea, this is where I am living now. Looks crappy and messy~

See! I told you…I am not lying~ It tasted superb and it’s tom yam style! 

 

It’s always so enjoyable to have steamboat at home or outside. I used to had it alot when I was studying in Taylors since my KL friends are addicted with it. 

 

What so nice with the country,Canada, and its summer???

The answer is….

 

You get Baskin Robbins ice cream for FREE!

Lol…I know it’s finished. But I love the heart shape choc contained in the ice cream.

And always my whole time favourite…SUSHI!

Boat of sushi. And sashimi tasted ewww…

And a random photo.

Look at the little boy!LOL

 

Omg…Im enjoying the spring or soon-to-be summer so much!!!!I LOVE THE WEATHER LIKE CRAZY!

Finally I gave it a try and made my own Bibimbap! It’s one kind of famous and easy-to-make Korean dish. After I tried it once at the Korean restaurant, I always wanted to cook it myself.And now I did it…So easy and simple. Try it if you are free enough~

First try.

Second try.

This is how it looks like after you mixed everything up!Nice~and healthy too.

Visit here for more information.

I dont know what the heck the dinner is for, but I went there simply just for the food! muahhaha…I know it’s not something luxurious, but at least I did something different from my boring daily routine such as eating the cafeteria food! XD

I have the innocent looking eyes here!lol

Fried wonton, yea they served it during the dinner…Which we can eat it beside the road in Malaysia~lol

The dessert. Omg…it was sooooooo fcking sweet! It’s like syrup all over that piece of thing!

Overall, the food was ok. Worse than I expected though…= = I thought the dinner is going to serve something like curry, nasi lemak or laksa! But…I guess I was wrong..LOL

By the way, I still like my short hair like crazy! Some vain photos to share..wakakkaka

Extra stuff.

I am so in love in sushi recently…So nice…but I thought im becoming vegetarian?! omg, im not determined at all.

And that day, the sky was filled with clouds! This is so rare in Canada! The weather was nice and it feels like walking in a kampung. Even Izzatul said the same thing!

Nice.

Nice nice.

Nice nice nice~

You know what I did the most during reading week? Certainly not reading, studying or researching. Yea, I was eating everyday like crazy. I was so unproductive for the whole week but my mouth was working to its maximum level! So, "reading week" should not be called reading week but eating week! I put on so much weight within only one week and it’s hell yeah shocking!

1) Hot Belly Mamas

This is one of the best western restaurants in town and it serves food preserved with different kinds of spices. It also has the the best sweet potato fries in town! But, I still think sweet potato tempura taste better!

It’s a great place to dine out at night and liquors are served too for people whose intentions are not on the food.

Weird balls called Hush Puppies.

Darkened Chicken. I hope it’s not burnt…

These photos were stolen from Jae’s facebook.

2)Yees Restaurant  

One of the chinese restaurants in town! Own by a friend’s parents. I dont know what the hell he was thinking about, but apparently he invited me over to his place for dinner for free! Aren’t you think I am lucky to have such a friend?

First time wearing cap!

Maybe they were just typical chinese food. But, when you dont have many selections, they are like the angels from the heaven!

3) Sapporo

It serves sushi in buffet style which means all you can eat! Sushi used to be the luxurious food that I cannot afford to eat. But here in Canada, by just paying 13 dollars for lunch and 21 dollars for dinner, you can have all kind of sushi and shasimi(how to spell it?)you always wanted!

We went there because Doris was celebrating her birthday by having a lunch together.

Doris the birthday girl!

Heh..I was taking picture and the girl suddenly popped out~

Alright alright…i will take one with you…XD

I ate more than what you can see here!

Deep fried banana in turnip shape! Cawaii~

4) Curry Village

This place serves Indian food which is always so irresistable! Indian food always taste fantastic even though it’s hard to tell the differences between the meals. All you can taste are spiciness, souriness and of course tastiness~

All the Malaysians students in Trent were invited by some sort of Malaysian government officer for a lunch. Of course, it’s free as it’s sponsored by the government. Our government may not be the best but it always serves its people with nice food! This officer job is to make sure everyone has her contact and EAT most importantly…

Got to dress appropriately so a Polo T-shirt will do.

I can assure you that these dishes are not cheap(2 more dishes are not included in this photo), I think it’s more than 100 dollar for 4 people served. And there were 15 people together! So there were 3 groups of us, which means 3x100=300 dollars, which also means 1000 malaysian ringgit! Some were not shown up, luckilly.

You know what’s funny? 5 of them were not Malaysian students, so I was wondering is the gathering for students or the people who are non related to it? Hmm..so, this is how government is spending its tax payers’ money!  

Look how serious and quiet these people were while eating!!!

5) Siew’s cooking

I have to list this out too because her cooking is superb! AHAHAHHAH…envy me because I get to stay with her for 4 years without having food problem as my challenges! No picture were taken but they always will stay with me in my mind…

Lastly, a photo of me to end this post!

Muakksss! Love you all~

Look! My hand got swollen!!

p/s: All the food were not paid by myself. Either it’s free or paid by Mr. An Jae Kiun. Fat yet lucky!
