Yee Haw... Let do a old skool roundup boys. This is not a weekly roundup as usual. This is more like a stuff-that-I-do-during-the-absence-of-this-blog-roundup.
Myself...
Things couldn't be better. Everything is just not that bad not that good. More like even. Enjoying life as it kick me in the arse. I got stuff to do but to lazy to do it. You know what, let future me deal with it. I finally ordered the JINX for the final time. I hate ordering online. The servers are stupid. Keeps on resetting and stuff. Good thing it all manage to go though finally
Games...
My Xbox is still in the gutter. So no Gears for 3 weeks. Im planning to sell that peice of crap (get fetch me at least 600) and upgrading a new one (probably the jasper set). Being downloading lots of 360 games. Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider Underworld. Mk vs Dc, but no box to play it. Actually I haven't being playing a lot of games lately. I notice my gaming habits are more like when Im in the mood. Coz currently right now Im so interested in my Creative Zen M. Old machine but still got a few kick in it.
Series...
Lots of things happening in Tv land. Prison break... OMG... The show just keeps getting better and better each season. People think that the show already Jumped the Shark (wiki that up if you dont know what it means), but I think the show will always be prison break since there are not free. Until they earn thier freedom this show will not stop yet. Heroes... Boring. Really I dont see the appeal of people having superpowers anymore, the shows has gone from brilliant to mediocre. To much plots, to many charaters we have to follow. This show doesnt give what prison break does.
Other than that, most of the shows will end in the US for a while because of the Xmas break. Meaning more time to clear my HDD space for future shows. 24 is coming soon. The best show ever. Some of the shows are coming to an end. Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, ER, and some got canceled (ie pushing daises)
Movies...
Since is the end of the year, most of the AAA titles are gone. I've just watched Wall-e. I like that movie. It shows that silient character can still make the movie enjoyable. I got The dark Knight on blu-ray. I want to see it tomorow but I think I can do that since I have other stuff to atend to. Hopefully I figure something out.
Im looking foward to seeing the day the earth stood still (TDTESS) . Remake of the 1950 original. The funny thing is the alien name is Klatuu... funny. One more to watch is the spirit. I dont think it will appeal to many people since who ever doesnt know about the comic will think is just another Batman movie. But more like sin city meats batman but with more girls.
Last but not least TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen Trailer. This month. Can't Wait...
Ok that enough from me, adious (is that how to spell it) mucachos. Hmm... Im hungry for nachos all of the sudden

How Starbuck Save my Life - book review
Ok, this is something I haven't done in a while, read a book. Give a review. First of all the title is what as its state above. Let me give you the cliff note version of the book. Micheal Gill is a high executive in a big firm. One day, he got fired, got divorce, got cancer (or something like it) and has no money and savings. After that, he got interviewed at a local starbucks, got a job, love working there... The End. (there are someother stuff, but too long to write)
Let me tell you this book is like the how to in Starbucks. I think this is part of a marketing gimmick from Starbucks saving that is the best company in the world which offers great health and good oppurtunities. Maybe that is the Startbucks at the states. But not over here. You work in Starbucks you get around RM4.50 an hour (USD 1.24). Im not sure about the benefits. But really, if starbucks is the best place to work, why dont I see a lot a people working there. The book is ok.. nothing ho hum about it
Well I can tell you this, Mr Tom Hanks has picked up the movie rights of this book. So for those of you who doesn't want to read the book, can just wait for the movie
I give this book a 3/5 (Good coffee book... since you can drink coffee while reading it)

Quantum of Solace review
I meant to do this review sooner than later. Well, what the heck. This Bond is just ok, not that great at Casino Royale. But it worth watching. The action doesn't stop from start to finish. They manage to do every chase scene there is possible (except underwater). Daniel Craig is by far the best Bond, I notice that people who watch the past Bond prefer the more sauve guy. I perfer the more action packed bond. But now I think about it this movie is more like the Bourne Ultimatium. He has become more Jason Bourne than Jason Bond. Plus Olga Kurylenko is quite hot. .
I give this movie a 3/5. Worth a watch (really there nothing to write about this movie, its just a action pack movie)

Ok... I do have something
Ok the post below says I have nothing. Apparently I DO have something... LOL. Below its the stuff that I ate during the past hiatus months.
This what I ate 4 hours ago. Yum... Fried fish on olive oil with jalapeno peppers and the sides of baked potatoes and salad. Man im hungry...
Next, it homemade lasagna. It looks burnt but that just on the surface. I got a picture of a slice (but I think the image is too gory for this blog)

This is homemade fish and chips with side sales and potatoes and wedges. And homemade tartar sauce.



Homemade Sheppard Pie (No Sheppard's were harm during the making of this pie) Is mashed potato with mince beef. Takes a while to bake it. But the wait it well worth it. Serve with a side salad and Jalapeno Tabasco. Yummy...



Next, is the 15' inch dominoes pizza. It's the size of a tire. After that I went to a Mexican restaurant at Shah Alam and ate tacos with Mango Martguerita.

The last item is not for eating. It just a picture of 2 different laptops. The first one is the HP mini 2132 (or something like that) It's one the smallest laptops with an affordable price. Its only RM2699

Next is one of the most powerful gaming laptop I've seen. The ASUS G2 gaming laptop. High spec indeed. But they have stop production of this current model. The actual price is RM 8999 but the one I saw is RM 2000 off. Good deal but the only problem is I don't have RM 6999 lying around. The real kicker is the laptop is 4 kg WITOHUT the battery. With the battery is around 5 kg's plus. It's not meant to be move around. It's just a desktop replacement. I have no idea how to rotate the pic. So everyone turn 90 degrees to the left.

I have nothing...
Yo peeps... (err... Let me start again) Hi guys. As you can see Im at work, and decided to update this thing I call a blog. But really, I have nothing to talk about. Let me see if I can find something to say...
Yes we can... Congratulations to the President Elect Barack Obama. Hopefully he can change the country that is almost to the brink of poverty. It sad when you think that our own country has problems. They have more problems. People getting layoffs. The economy is not stable. The rich gets richer and the poor gets more poorer (actually that is the problem everywhere). Hopefully he can make a change. Usually, if there a black president, something big is going to happen in the States (Ok I admit I watch a lot of 24, too much tv...)
Next... Battlestar Galactica. The Reimagine Series. What a great show. I think its the best, dark Sci Fi show since Stargate. I've just finished watching season 3 (snoozefest). Hopefully season 4 which is the final season will be better. They always end it with a bang. They should show more space fighting rather in inter policitics of the civilazation.
Gears of War 2. Still haven't played that yet. Xbox is still in the repair shop. Long story, let me say when someone owes you money and give you a Xbox (take it) I',m planning to sell the Xbox after this to double the profit. But I watched reviews from everywhere. This game rocks. Ahhh.... I want to play the game.
What else... what else... I dont have an idea. Tomorow I got to attend a meeting which I know what they are going to say already. It a social obligation. Duh... Quantum of Solace is on. This James Bond is more gritty the last one (the theme song sucks)
Ok then. That all for now. Ciao~

Im back... Again. I got to stop doing this.
Let see. 3 months without a word. Why is that? I just didn't feel like it. I don't think no one cares anyway. I mostly blog to release stress on my part. Good therapy I must say. Well what to write. Usually I'll go ranting of on what has been up with me the past 3 months. Now I see that irrelevant. So I just talk about what's happening now. Err... Nothing much. Same old job. Same old stuff. Just different day. I think I didn't feel like writing coz I know nobody is reading it besides me. Oh well... what to do
Games...
I find it hard to play games nowdays. Too much other stuff to do, too little time. I wish I could have to gift of time to finish my games. Im currently playing Lego Batman for the PSP. While I think its quite fun, it just takes to damn long to finish a stage. Oh how I wish I had a PS3. Other than that being playing some Gin Rummy, card games never let me down. I think is 30% luck 70% skill. But mostly luck of the deck. If the deck sucks on your part you can't do anything about it.
Movies...
Watched a lot of movies.. Some good, some not. Loved Mamma Mia. I'm just so bummed that I was too late to get tickets for the live show here. Not my luck I guess. (Im currently listing Gimme Gimme Gimme... quite a catchy song) Just watched Bangkok Dangerous. Is Bangkok Dangerous... NO. Sucks yes. Looking forward to Quantum Of Solace next week. Hopefully it will be better than the previous installment. The opening song doesn't deliver much punch as the old movie.
Other stuff...
Im not going anywhere. This job is a dead end. I already see it. Now just have to hang on for another 120 days. I have nothing to look forward too. Everything seems bleak. And yet... Im ok with it. Maybe I dont except much of myself. Hopefully I can change soon. Good thing I have my Tv shows to look forward too. That wont last long, at least is a good 45 min escape for my real life. I so wish I could meet someone new. Anyone... Just want to share thoughts and stuff. My life is getting more mundane.
What else to write... I found out that an actual car collision scared the shit out of me than what we see in the movies. Cool... yes. But still scary.
Ok then, this is me signing off. Hopefully the next post will be sooner than later. Peace out

To err is human... I mostly meh...
Its been a while since I write. Pay no attention the title. I just like to say meh... So what I am going to write about. I notice something about today's information age. Everyone read blogs (except mine) and we need to be careful on what we write. We just have to make sure we don't offend any body while we writing about it. It just something to think about. Right... rite...
Im turning 24 soon. Finally. I have 24 hours to celebrate my birthday. And I have to work on that day. Sucks (or is it). What do I want for my birthday. A PlayStation 3 of course. Please send your funds to me. Lol. But my family with my side is ok already. I haven't been reading the news lately. I find it just meh... But its important to stay updated. So I make it a point to at least catch the news on the tube.
A storm is coming... Start on September 1st with Prison Break. I got almost 30 shows to watch. And I have only 500gb. What the heck... Need to get a new HDD. Need cash also. I wonder why my current gig is taking so long. Do I seem needy enough that I have to beg to continue my gig. Well who cares. Needy or not. I'll annoy them until they say they don't want me anymore.
Ok then... My best friend is driving my family here. To go shop around. So I can meet them for dinner after this. Kewl indeed. Hope this post will suffice for the 0 people who read this blog. You know who you are. Haha. Catch you later.

Weekly roundup...
As usual, my weekly round up of what hot and what not. Lol. Lets see, this week was my daughter 1st birthday. Saturday we did a open house. Quite tiring but satisfying all together. A bit bumped coz not all of my friends came, but what to do they all have prior engagement. Well the thing that got me so exited is showing Transformers in full HD. Got some head turning. The good news is my daughter will have toys to last her another year. Plus some dresses too. Why on earth if they assume if its a girl, they'll get her dolls. Why dont get her legos. I want to play with it too.
What I am playing.
Now playing online mario kart wii. Playing with the world sure beats playing it alone. But sometimes I think online players play cheatingly. Other than that still playing brawl. Especially tournament brawl with ZK. Haha... beaten by level 1 lucas. (Lets see if he read this).
What am I watching.
Im currently a avid plan of How I met your mother. Just love Barney aka Swarley. As he like ot say "this is going to be legendary". Other than that Avatar has just finish its series finale with a bang. The best cartoon since Saber Rider.
Other stuff?
Not sure... Get back to you on that. Ok that all for now. Ciao

The Dark Knight
First of all let me say. Heath Ledger may you rest in peace. Know that you will be love for eternity. Now on with the review. This is the most anticipated movie of 2008. If I only have one movie to watch it will be this movie. I ask my wife to skip work just to see this movie and it was worth every penny (except... i'll get back to that later.
The Dark Knight. As you can see the title didn't say Batman (something... something...). Its not meant to be a story about Batman even though he is the main character of this movie. This movie goes beyond what its trying to explain. The depth of ones self. How far would a person go until he reach its breaking point. So the real hero of this movie is the citizen of Gotham.
Now let me talk about the Joker. The Joker is a character in itself. Being bad has never been so good. We share a couple of laugh even though we are not suppose to. The Joker symbolizes a person with out rules or boundaries. Heath Ledger was a class on its own. He manage to steal the spotlight more than Batman.
Batman? Nothing much has change. Except the suit. Finally he can turn his head around. Plus the gadgets. I got to love the thumbler. I was saw that the thumbler got permanently destroyed in this movie but out of the ashes rise the Batpod which is an even cooler gadget. A bike with 2 whopping wheels.
Everything was good in this movie. Starts like a rollercoaster ride. Has the right amount of pacing in my opnioin. Even though there too much talking and not much action . Overall its a good movie. I almost forgot about Harvey Dent. The true hero of this movie. Without him there wont be a story. Too bad he became two-face and just crazy. The makeup effects are just killer. How did they make his teeth shown.
The only thing that I am not satified is the quality of the pictuer. Face it, Malaysian cinema sucks. Maybe Im spoilt too much. I already experince High Definition. I want to see TDK it full 1080p. So I'll wait for the Blu ray disc to be realased. Hopefully by chirstmas. Build up more anticipation.
I give TDK a 6/5 batarangs/laughing gas (its beyond par)

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Boy what can I say about this movie. Oh yeah wait. This movie sucks. Really it does. Dont get me wrong the first Hellboy was brilliant. It has the right amount of action, drama and even comedy. It hit the right marks. But the sequel does not fare so well. I think its because there is too much back story that the director skip on the action. Or maybe there was just to much talking that we fail to see the best part of the movie. There was only 2 good scene from the movie. The scene where he fights a giant plant and the last scene with the golden army. Selma Blair was hot in this movie. She is really into this goth-ly like persona. Fun to see her like that. At least they show more of Abe Sapien. Can't gen enough of him.
Overall I gave this movie 3/5 flames..

Wanted
Im doing this review while listening to The Little Things (The soundtrack from Wanted). Never before I seen a movie more... more... awesome bulls*** since the matrix. The effect are just mind boggling. Is there such thing a bending bullets. I may flunk physics but I know bullets dont bend. But they way they did is makes it looks real. Just don't try it at home. (there is really no such thing as bending bullets.Lol). The movie is like an ochestra. It's like swordfighting with bullets. It's a decent movie to watch anyway. Is there anything I find diskliking about the movie? Can't think of any. Yet the movie has some unsatisfaction due to a certian characters death ***cough*** jolie***cough***. Which just seems unfair. I dont think there will be a sequal.
I give this movie a 4.5/5 bullets.

Am I selfish?
It's been a while since I update this. Well at the post suggest. I notice that I'm being a bit selfish with my other half. Making her do this that I like to do rather than the other way around. Maybe I have a short attention span or something but I find her stuff not to my liking. Well in order to make the relationship work I have to compromise. In other words... I suck big time. Need to step up before another vent occur in the rift
Enough about that. Let see what new with me. My comp broke down (got to take a picture of it) last week due to massive overheating. Had to send the Hdd for warranty or as I like to say it Warrent Tea (a special kind of tea). Got a cooler Hdd with all good goodies in it. Thanks again d3x. Im so excited what coming at the horizon... The best cartoon ever... Hopefully next week I can share it with you.
The Dark Knight, that what's on everyone mind. If you only have one movie to see. This is the movie that you can't miss. Man can't wait. 5 days seems so far away.
What am I currently playing...
Mario kart wii. Love that game. It is not as good as Double Dash. But they made it up by ramping up thier multiplayer. For the first time in Mario Kart history that we can play with bots. (computer opponents). And these bots are not as easy as it looks. ZK_Azer(friend of mine) and me can lose badly at one point. We need more pratice. Good thing we are on the same team. It's like F1 but with karts.
What am I currently watching...
Since it summer, most of the shows are not up yet with the exception for a couple. Yesterday i watched the Season 2 premier of Burn Notice. Which I can say is the best show in history. You should check it out. I believe Season 1 DVD is already out. Other than that I can't wait for next week. One of the coolest cartoon in recent time is coming to an end. Avatar, the last Airbender is coming to a close after 3 season. I psych about the season finally. So psych that I stop watching the last 4 episode in order to wait for the finale.
Other stuff?
Well I need to lose weight. That a given fact. Other than that Im kind a in love with sushi. Yum. I just ate chicken Katsu Curry. Fried chicken with rice serve with Japanese curry. Japanese Curry is diffrent from Malaysian curry. More zing I guess...
Ok that enough chatter from me. Next Im going to do my review of Wanted.

Well I need to lose weight. That a given fact. Other than that Im kind a in love with sushi. Yum. I just ate chicken Katsu Curry. Fried chicken with rice serve with Japanese curry. Japanese Curry is diffrent from Malaysian curry. More zing I guess...
Ok that enough chatter from me. Next Im going to do my review of Wanted.

My Vacation for the Year
As my friend just said just now. I go to Sarawak and didn't tell her. Lol... Well... Im telling now. Went there to kill 2 birds with one stone. Literary, I saw to birds at the airport and killed them with one stone. But I missed... (Okay I didn't do that, but would'nt it be a cool story). When there to visit my wifes relatives and the fact that we haven't been on holiday since 2 years. Might as well go there and enjoy the sites...
Day 1
Arrived. Staright went to a relatives house. Ate. When to the hotel and then when to her grandmothers house. Ate somemore.
Day 2
Woke up. When to have breakfast at a popular hangout over there. Ate somemore. Thanks to her 2 cousins for showing us around. Then we went to more relatives houses. Say hi, whatcha doing. The usual stuff. Ate here and there. At night when to a relatives house and you guess it. Ate.
Day 3
Today was interesting... Woke up early. Left the kid with her mom. And went to a 2 hour drive to a place called Gunung Gading. Its a park over there. Dont know if its a national park or not. We went there to bathe in the waterfall. Arrived around 11am. Had to pay 30 bucks for 5 people to go to the waterfall. The fricking waterfall was a 30 minute hike on the mountain. But for me it became a 1 hour hike. I was so not prepared for it. My body is set for normal crusing not 4x4 jungle trekking. I vomitted since I didnt ate anything for that day. So my body is really light headed. (I need to start to keep in shape). Finally arrive there. The place was so beautiful. The water was like 15 degrees. Cold... Brrr... The problem with it is the initial going down the water. After your down the body already adjusted itself. Hang there for 2 hours. Went down. Strangely down only took me 20 mins. LOL. Went for some food. Bought a very illegal item there. Apprently turtle eggs are common to everyone. But its illegal to buy them. So have to ask for it hush hush... I not a big fan of turtle eggs. Went home slept at 10pm
Day 4
Went around Kucing town. Sarawak is a very hot place. Plus the sun is up at 6am. Over my place 6am im still sleeping. But nightfalls at around 5pm. I think its so hot because its was near the equator. Ate here there and everywhere. Oh yeah, did some shopping as well. I didn't by any suvuniors for my friends... Sorry guys and gals... Next time kay
Day 5
Suprisingly did nothing. Hang out at aunts house. Went to ate at night.
Day 6
Packed and went home
Overall the experice was better then the first time I came. Probably there are people to take us around. Sarawak is a place where you need the locals to move about. If not you dont know where to go and what to eat... Now back to reality... Mmm cake... enjoy my food descripton down there.

3 July 2008
Well... This is what I ate there... Yum
This is going to be a long post. Plus with the pictures so technically is going to be a freaking huge post. So let's see where do I start. This is going to a problem from me since most of this words doesn't have an English counterpart. So bare with me folks...
Cendol
Well what is this. Is basically crush ice + condense milk with some kind of jelly. The jelly taste like gummy bears. Lol.

Mee Kolok
Ok, I know what are you thinking. What the heck is Kolok? Don't look at me. There are things even google can't explain. It's just what the sarawakian called. Its basically mee with beef/chicken soup serve with chilli in soy sauce. The thing that makes it so special is the mee itself and the soup. And I can't get it here... Sucks



C Special Tea
Or its call (teh C special). What the C stand for? Beat me But the taste it... yum. It just tea + condense milk and a special ingredient. It's (how the heck im going to expain this). Its cocount plam sugar (gu.la me.la.ka) underneath the glass. So we have to mix it all together. So the taste its like fusion.


Kampua Mee
By now you released that most of this names doesn't make sense. This is another variation of Mee Kolok but it a bit sweeter since they added the sweet kind of soy sauce. Serve with beef/chicken soup also. Man all this talk about food is making me hungry.

Roti canai Tuna
Roti Canai is basically dough that the thread into a flat bread. Tuna is the fish that we eat in sandwhic. Yum. Mixed those two together add a little balck pepper sauce + chilli + mayo and tada.... Just magnificient.

Special Water (Okay is not really that... Lol)
Is called Air Special. Air is water (pronouce -I.err- not air (as in the air we breathe...)). It is crush ice with watermelon, longan, peach, apple and pear with a litthe condense milk and little cherries of some sort. Good to drink on a hot day (which is everyday in sarawak).

Spicy Porridge
Bubur pedas as it called here. Its... I dont know what it is. But if you guys ever come to Sarawak you have to try this. Its like nothing I have ever taste before. The taste is indescribable. Really... Its a bit spicy with something else inside...

(editors note: Im countinuing from where I left off. Have to finish by today)
Fries with dip and fish sandwhich.
Ok, I know what are you thinking. How come this be a Sarawak delicacy. But there this fast food restaurant called Sugar Bun. I dont think it is available stateside. They serve their fries with pure cheese dip (artifitial cheese). Plus the fish sandwhich is just a normal fish sandwhich. Go figure. Lol


Ayam Pasoh (Bamboo Cooked Chicken)
This is what its describe. Chicken cooked in bamboo. Well they didn't have a real bamboo at the time. So they just use a pressure cooker. Still the same. It has 11 herbs and spices. So they say. Apprently is what the natives cook when they live in forest. So basically anything edible in the forest they just lug it in the bamboo.

Umai (Pickle shirmp)
It can be done with shrimp, squid almost any seefood availble. Not my cup of tea. But hey when you are at a foriegn country just try it once. If you dont like it dont try it again. Lol. They marinate the shrimp for quite a long time, so that where the tangy taste come from.


Went to a cake repository...
Ok this is not a thing i ate there. It looks interesting. At Sarawak, the most famous cake is called Sarawak Cake. It's a very delicate cake, baked in layers. A skilled baker (is that what they are called) can make intricate designs. It's like food art. Over here there is a house that makes this in a truck load. For the tourist. The taste is ok. Not great since they have machines to do this. There is even a place we can taste the cakes. Free food...


Mee belacan and Mee Jawa
Belacan is grind chilli (if i am not mistaken). So add hot water, and put noodles in the bowl and viola... Belacan mee. After eating a couple of bytes you'll be crying. Jawa Noodles is from Indonesia. Not that spicy but has a tangy taste. Enjoyable all together.


White Lady
This is a variation of the Special Water (Air special above). It has mango, peaches, longan and lychess. Crush ice + Syrup and Ribena. Don't know they don't have it here. Sounds easy enough to make. If you go there ask the Taxi driver to take you to Air Special Ah Kang. He'll know where is it. It the most famous store there. Can you belive a guy can make a living by selling ice.

Ayam Penyet
Penyet means crushed. But calling this dish crush chicken just sounds wired. It is fried chicken with grind chilli (belacan) serve with raw vegetables. Oh yeah and fragrent rice also. It's a special Indonesian dish serve by local peoplle over here.

Can you believe this is not real????
The durian that is on the palm of the hand may look real but in fact is paper!!! Yup paper. It's not the worlds smallest durian. Durian is the king of fruit in Malaysia. This old granny I visited made this out of paper. It's paper mache. Paper put in water and become a pulp. The thorns are also made of paper and are so sharp. You can actually hurt your fingers by touching it.


Sarawak Laksa
I think everybody who come to Sarawak will try this. Since this is the only thing that associate Sarawak with. The gravy is made with coconut milk, chicken stock and a special paste that is only found in Sarawak. The chicken is then taken out and serve separately. It's also available stateside. First you take the noodles, then add eggs, chicken, lime(for extra zing) and other seafood stuff also. This thing is so nice and will make you sleepy after eating more than one bowl. Like me. End the meal with fresh cut fruits and mango ice cream. Heaven.








A lock on time.... Get it...
A wall clock shape of a lock and key... nuff said.

...you can barbequed it, kebab it, fry it, bake it, and that about it...
Yesterday I went to celebrate my friends birthday. We went to a place called Bubba Gump Shrimp company. For those of you are confuse of what Shrimp is. Shrimp is prawn. But in the States its call shirmp. Or in my language is (u.dang). Lol. Well Bubba Gump is that guy who helps Forrest gump in the war. If you never watch Forrest Gump before you missing out on what great movie. Go rent it. So as the pictures below. From Up to down. Overall is was a nice experi
1) Is two different Lemonande Drink. On the left is Mango with Lemonande and on the Right is Straberry with lemonande. As you expect. Too zesty...

2) The 2nd is the Shrimp special. 4 diffrent type of shirmp serve with fries. We got Cajun Shrimp(fried chilli shirmp) Tempura shrimp, Fried Cocunut Shrimp (Shrimp fried in cocunut) and lastly chilled shirmp (who eat shrimp in the cold... brrr...) Nice dish. Price is also nice...

3)The third food that looks like a stackable babies toys is in fact actually Onion Rings. You heard me onion rings staked that high. How cool is that. Plus the dipping sauce is also yummy.

4)The last is cajun fried fish with burbon sauce serve in mashed patato. Is basically like cheese sauce with fish and a lot of mash patato. Oh yeah there is even tortilla chips on top of it. Yum...

Sushi Groovy,,,
Im trying to update my blog as much as I can. So now I have the free time. I can update it with my 3rd favorite subject. Food... So lets see I went to Sushi groove a couple of times. This is where they serve Japanese Food but with added fusion. So you wont find normal Sushi King is stuff. Here are some of the pics.. Sorry about the quality. The ambiance of that place is dark. So my 2mp hp does'nt have flash.
This is unagi (eel) shaped like an (you guess it) Eel. How cool is that. Japanese Food is full with rice. Taste quite nice.
This is beef roll with cheese. Sounds good in concept. But doesnt taste that good. The cheese is kinda like artificial. I know, i know the picture sucks.
This is... Too dark... Lol... Iam not sure what is it... hmmm... Looks taste though...
Man... this is some crab type food. I really should start labeling my pictures. Lol...
