Wilson's Birthday @ Elcerdo

Today is my darling's 25th birthday.
25.05.2008

I've brought him a Manchester United Home Jersey 07/08 for his birthday. He looked all cool in this jersey, man, we both loveeee MU and was so proud they did well in the EPL and Champs League.

- My lovely boyfriend in his fav. team jersey -

He's such a busy man who gotta work on Sundays, even on his big day. (I hope he doesn't have to work on his wedding, haha) So we only get to have dinner at night.

I've chosen the "Elcerdo Restaurant" located at Changkat Bukit Bintang. A restaurant that serves porkielicious "nose to tail" pork eating.

- Elcerdo Restaurant -

Yea, I don't fancy pork at all. In fact I don't eat pork. Haha, but he loves pork so much, I can't be selfish right? So I decided to give this restaurant a try. Little did I expect, the food is actually...
GOOD.

- Table cloth -

First, we ordered the 'Mixed Appetizer Plate' with 4 types of pork, namely French “Rillettes”; Pate of Pig Trotter; Spanish Salami; Pork Liver Pate and Pig Cheek in Wine Aspic. Served with bread and some sauces. The taste of these pork, (standing on the feet of a non-pork-eater) they're actually nice. Not as pork as I thought, no strong scent of the porkism, especially the salami.
(** Omg, *&^%$#, I just knew I ate pig's cheek!!! I didn't read the menu nicely.. Wilson ordered this..*(^%$^&***)

- Woo.. I ate pig's cheek, their rosy cheeks, T_T -

Next come the main dishes, Wilson's was the "Marinated Pork Shoulder Steak" which they marinated for 48hours with the Finest Paprika, Herbs, Onions, Garlic and Mild Dijon Mustard. I tried a bite of the pork meat, well, again, this non-pork eater thinks the meat tasted OK. Ok, after the cheek, now I eat the shoulder, what else har?

- Pig's shoulder, T_T -

- A closer look at this porkielicious pork shoulder -

- Someone is so excited, lol -

Next, here's mine. After browsing, examining the menu for quite some time, I decided to order the "Spicy Sausages". A whole plate of pork sausages and bacon, fried with garlic, spices and minced bacon. Amazingly this is quite nice to me, the bacon tasted good, in fact I think this part of the pork is still acceptable. Wilson told the lady manager that I don't take pork, she was so surprised and decided to give me a complimentary soup of the day. :) I would like to make an announcement..

I HAVE EATEN THE MOST PORK IN MY LIFE, IN A DAY! Cheerrrss!!~ ^@^

- The Spicy Sausages -

- Today in history -

Ok, after all the pork-consuming, here come the dessert.. "Hot & Cold" which is actually a a sinful combination of Hot Mixed Berries and Red Wine on Vanilla Ice Cream. We could adjust the amount of cream and red wine to be put in the ice-cream.

- The dessert is so-so only -

Before we ended the marathon of porking, we were served with complimentary Margarita drink.

- Cheersss, for the best of luck to my darling -

The dinner was great, the waiters' very friendly. They have this special culture to break the plates after eating to bring luck, not sure which country has this culture, German? So we heard "pling, plang.." everywhere in the restaurant. Haha, and the ambient of the restaurant is extremely good, cosy and everywhere is decorated with adorable piggies. Sigh, cute piggies waiting to be slaughtered. =.=''

- Us -

- LOL : Found this cutie balerina piggy in the toilet deco, haha -

My ratings for this restaurant:
Food : 4/5 (consider I'm a non-pork eater)
Ambient : 5/5
Service : 5/5
Location : 4/5
Overall Comment : Definitely worth a visit, even if you're a non-pork eater.

Visit ELCERDO for more details. :)

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
