Pork meat RM5.00
Fish Maw RM25.00
Carrot RM1.50
Cabbage RM1.00
Straw Mushroom RM5.40

Total RM72.50 (not inclusive of seasoning and gas)

All the ingredients in the pot. Ready for boiling it.
Pig Stomach Soup + Yau Char Koay = YUMMY

When hubby found out that I am boiling this soup, he asked me to buy some Yau Char Koay for him. He said it is very good to go with yau char koay. My answer to him is. 'you gila kah? Where got people eat like this one?' He said that how he saw one of the stall in Singapore serving it. So, I bought some yau char koay and later when my sister tried it, she said it's good. Maybe, you want to tried it yourself and let me know later.

How Much Is A Slice Of Cake?

Hubby were away on a business trip for a week. Apa lagi???? I become single for a week. Wahaha....................... Off course, I am having lots and lots of fun but at the same time feeling sad too. No personal driver to drive me around. No walking atm with me. I hate eating alone too. Luckily, my youngest sister is back for a holiday. So, yesterday I took my sister to Parkroyal Hotel for a lunch at Cool Bananas. Nice name leh............................. wonder why they call it cool bananas? Hmmmmm......................

cool bananas....................

See the plastic bananas? They are lots of deco using bananas inside the restaurant. There were quite a lot of customers inside so, we got to sit outside.


We ordered a pizza. Choose 4 of your favourite filling. They will have a list for you to pick. We got share this. How does it taste. I will say it was great. We pay RM39 for this pizza. It's a crispy base. We have choosen tuna, smoke turkey, pineapple and mushroom. Some might say that I am so stupid to pay this amount for this pizza but the food is good leh. Hey, this is not the road side pizza I am talking about leh. The 2 of us really enjoy it.

How much do you think I pay for this 1 slice of Chocolate Truffle Cake that come with a scoop of Haagen Dazs? It's RM28!!! RM28 for a slice of cake and a scoop of ice cream wor.................... BUT the cake tasted so great. I will say it's worth for the price. It's really yummy. If I have the chance again, I will be back again but this time I must bring along my walking atm.

People will pay RM50 for 1 durian, RM70 for lobster, RM50 for a small bowl of sharkfin soup and why can't I pay RM28 for a slice of cake that tasted so good? You don't eat that everyday rite? Off course, I can't afford to eat that everyday too. But, in life we want to experience certain things mah.
