WATCHMEN + MORIHACHI

I'm into American Hero movies so I went to watch "Watchmen" today tho many of my friends are not keen on watching it. I thought it was something like X-Man or Spider man but I was so disappointed after watching this movie.

This movie was a bit confusing and the plot was disjointed. Neither Me nor PY had a clue on what was this movie about. It was too long and I kept wondering when it was going to end. It wasn't worth to watch on the cinema!!

After movie, we went to a Japanese BBQ Restaurant "Morihachi" for dinner. We ordered a lot of meat and seafood, the beef was very delicious!! It was very soft and I felt like they were melting in my mouth!! Yummy!!

We went for a drink at LKF after dinner and we had a nice casual talk together. It's very good to have gathering with good friends. I enjoyed this night a lot!! :)

LA UMAI

I heard that there is a new French Japanese fusion Restaurant in North Point so I wanna to have a try there. This restaurant is on the 25 floor of a commerical building and you can see a bit Victoria Sea view.

It was very dark inside the restaurant and I could barely read the menu. We ordered oysters first, they didn't have many choices, only Kumamoto and Fine de Clair. The oysters were ok, not as good as I expected. I guess maybe becoz it isn't the right season for eating oysters.

And then we had Canadian sea urchin, it was so fresh and delicious!! It was perfect match to eat with cucumbers!!

The sashimi salad was ok, the sauce was quite good but it didn't taste special and the portion was too small.

I like the baby Australian Wagyu, it was so tender and juicy!! I loved it!!

The beef spaghetti tasted quite good and we we so fully after eating few dishes. Overall their food was quite good but I don't think I will go there again coz I can have better dishes at other places with cheaper price.

ME & HANG'S BELATED B-DAY CELEBRATION

Me and Hang's b-day is close so we celebrated our birthday together tonight. Me, AC and PY went to MK to shop around and bought a A&F jacket for Hang. We bought some A&F clothes for ourself as well!!

Then we went to Central, met Hang and FC and then we took the taxi to the Peak. FC booked the Peak Lookout and we had dinner there. The enviroment and atmosphere there was good and they placed the dishes very fast!! We had oyster, chicken ceasar salad, steak, seafood risotto, Salmon penne rigate pasta, ribs, cripse apple tarte, chocolate souffle.



And I got a Diana F+ Chromiacs Limited Edition camera!! :) Thanks Buddies!! I like this camera very much!! And I have a new toy to play around!! Yay!!

After dinner, we walked around and took some night view pics from the Peak. The sky was clear and night view was impressive!!

Then we went to LKF to have a drink. FC suggested to go to Balalaika so we went there. It's Russian bar and restaurant so I drank Vodka :D There is a ice room and they provide furs for you to wear and getting in. It was so cold inside!! But it was fun!! :D

We drank until 2am and then we left. Then we met Ruck, Fanta, Dee Dee and Christine in another bar in LKF!! What a surprise!! Christine asked me and AC to drink together so we both stayed and FC, PY and Hang left first. It was very funny to see them dance. Me and AC couldn't stop laughing!! We drank until 3.30am and then we went home.

MY BIRTHDAY DINNER AT CASA FINA

Doing kickboxing in the afternoon and had foot reflexology afterward. I don't like to do boxing during weekends but since I've joined the unlimited plan, I have to do as much as I can!!

After foot reflexology, we went to shop around and then I bought some make up stuff. Actually I got a lot stuff at home already but still would like to buy and try new things!! That's girl!! :D

Dinner at Casa Fina, it is the another new restaurant of Casa group. I've tried Mi Casa, Su Casa and this time Casa Fina!! I like the food a lot and it is always enjoyable to have dinner there!! Casa Fina is a bit different with other Casa restaurants, it's rather high-class and they provide different dishes.

We ordered house white wine and oysters as starter, we had Irish Gigas, Scottish Rock and Fine de Special. French oyster is always my favourite!! Fine de Special tasted very good and fresh. The others were very good too!!



Then we had sea urchin cucumber and caviar salad, they were perfect match!! Very delicious!! The sea urchin was very sweet!!

I like the Prawn linguinie too!! The cream sauce tasted so good and you would definately want to finish it all!!

Final we tried the lamp chops, actually I don't really like eating lamb coz I think lamb chop has strong taste that I don't really like. But I heard that Casa Fina cooked lamb very well so I'd like to have a try. It tastes quiet good but I still prefer eating steak :P

I wanted to have a piece of cake but I was too full and I had to rush to meet other friend so I didn't eat any dessert. I don't really need a cake for birthday, I enjoyed this dinner a lot and that's enough!!

Then meeting Karolina at Central and we to went to Peel Fresco Music lounge to listen the live jazz music. But we were late and it was full so we went to LKF to have some drinks instead. I knew there would be a great Jazz band show but what a shame we missed it!!

HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR

After long day hiking yesterday, I feel like my legs are not mine today!! Serious muscles aching!! Ouch!! I knew that!! So I booked the foot reflexology already!! I didn't enough at all coz it was very painful when the massagist massaged my lower legs.

Then we watched High School Musical 3: Senior Year. I'm not high school girl anymore so I think it was a cute family movie. The musical and the plot were ok. This movie isn't too bad but not very good. Not as good as I expected but worth to watch on DVDs.


After movie we shopped around and I didn't expect to buy anything. But then I just saw a watch that I like and it was on sale!! I considered for a while and then I decided to buy it. Though I have few watches already, it is my birthday soon! It's not too bad to buy something for myself, right?

We then had dinner at The Mon. I have been thinking to try this restaurant but I didn't get chance. It is usually full. My Japanese colleague recommended it too so I guessed it wouldn't too bad.

We ordered some sushi, stone pot rice, skewers and cold noodles, they were so delicious!! No wonder why my Japanese colleague likes this restaurant. The food was really good!! We enjoyed a lot!! :)

K's DIPLOMA AWARD CEREMONY

It was K's Diploma Award Ceremony of ABRSM. I'm so proud of my sister that she can achieve it. She is so enthusiastic about the music and I'm sure she will have good achievement in music.

Mom said I could do that but I knew I could never have time to practise music. I tried it last year and I started to play piano again but I only had little time and I couldn't do everything I want. Hopefully one day I can start playing music again.

Today I was being K's photographer and I realised I should get a better zoom lens!! Just like when K was at the stage, I couldn't zoom closer!! A 18-200mm would be perfect for me!! Time to save money again!!

We were extremely hungry so after the ceremony, we had a nice dinner. We went to Sushi Toku. I heard that it was quite a high standard suishi restaurant and it would be worth to try. It was expensive tho the sushi was fresh and very delicious.

The sea eel Tanpura was very delicious!! Not many Japanese restaurants have this dishes but they made it very well!! The sea eel was very cripsy outside but soft inside!! Yummy!!

ANA SUSHI

Dinner gathering with old friends, we had postponed this dinner few times and finally we managed to come out. It's really not easy to gather together since we all are quite busy.

We had no idea what to eat so Helen suggested this Japanese restaurant. PY and Kevin had to work overtime so we ordered the food first coz we were very hungry.

Sze suggested to go travelling together and she wanted to go somewhere with sun and beach. We all were very surprised coz Sze can't swim and she doesn't like the sun!! What made she wanna have a sun + beach vacation? She said she just wanted to try to relax at the beach and read the books there LOL OMG!! It's hard to imagine!!

I'd like to travel with them but I have some plans for myself so I'm not sure if I'm available. I really wish I could have more holidays and money!!

DINNER AT SENSHURAKU

Having dinner gathering at Senshuraku tonight. Senshuraku is like our canteen LOL Whenever we want to eat Japanese cuisine, we just go there!! Actually I wanna try a new restaurant but it was too rush to book and most of the restaurants were full!! Only this one is still available. Strange, huh?

The food there is quite good, not the best tho I enjoyed having dinner there coz I quite like the interior design and their service is not bad. I got the VIP card so no wonder I often go there :D

MAXIM'S SHABU SHABU

Dinner with Gi at Maxim's and we both had "Hokkaido Milk Soup Shabu Shabu". It tasted better than I expected!! Although the food wasn't so fresh, it still tasted quite good and I liked the soup a lot!!

Gi just travelled to Canada and had sea cruise at Caribbean Sea, that's so cool!! She got me a belt as a souvenir, it looks so nice!! Thank you very much Gi :) Would love to travel to Caribbean Sea if I got chance!!

After dinner I walked to TST pier and used my new lens to take some pics. Just wanna have a try before going to travel. I gotta get used to this lens. It is quite good to use this lens for taking night pics without tripod. I'm tooooo lazy to bring my tripod!! :D

YAMM

Mirama Hotel is rebuilt and they have a new restaurant "Yamm" which is commented as a stylish nice cuisine. This restaurant is very full and I had to book it a month in advance!! Unbelievable!! Really so many people have dinner buffet everyday?

The interior design is chic and modern and their service was very good!! The most important thing is the food!! It was soooooo delicious!! Their seafood was surprising good!! The oysters and sashimi were so fresh!! I more enjoyed the cold food coz they had more choices. For the hot food and dessert, they were good but there weren't many choices.

I enjoyed the environment and the food there and it is the one of the best buffet I ever had. I will definately go there again!!

DINNER AT JIN LUO BAO

Christophe wants to try Korean food and finally we had dinner gathering at Jin Luo Bao with Kayin, Sophie and Elena. We didn't wait for Nabil coz he is in Korea already!! Travelling again!! He can eat all kind of nice food in Korea. How come he can go travel every month?

We ordered a lot of food like barbecued beef ribs, mixed stone pork rice, Korean raw beef, Korean pizza, Korean fried pork... and they provided us a lot of side dishes. They were all so delicious!! We ordered a Seafood hotpot noodles in the begining too and luckily the waitress forgot about this order so we could cancel. We were too full and we couldn't eat this anymore. Everytime when we came out for dinner, we ordered to much food :P Our eyes are really bigger than our stomaches :D

SU CASA

Dinner at Su Casa tonight. The former name of this restaurant is Mi Casa but they have moved and changed a new name. I asked the owner of the restaurant that the meaning of the name, she said "Mi Casa" means "My Home" and "Su Casa" means "Your Home".

Though this restaurant is small, they can really make us feel likes home. They provided good service and the food was great. We ordered some oysters, Garry kept asking us if the oysters were ok and he tried to do his best. The foie gras and the steak were so delicious!! The steak was so juicy and soft!! I liked the creamy sauce risotto too!! :D We had tiramisu and Crème brûlée as dessert. I liked the Crème brûlée more ;) It's always so enjoyable whenever I have dinner there!!

SAHARA + BULLDOG

Still raining today!! I miss the sun and I don't feel like going out during rainy days. But we have arranged this gathering for a long time so no matter what won't postpone again.

Dinner at Sahara at Soho. It's a Middle East Restaurant. It was my first time to go there and the food was quite good. The light was very dim but it fit the atmosphere of the restaurant. I don't know what we ate coz Raynie ordered the food. I guess we had salad, fish, pork, kebabs and a special drink.



I even tried smoking shisha in apple mint flavour! It was very interesting!! I'm not addicted to it but I quite like it. So fun!!

"Shisha"

After dinner, we went to Bulldog to have a drink and watched Euro 2008. We watched the game for Spain and Sweden. I supported Spain but the game was a little bit boring. I thought they would draw the game but during the extra 2 mins of 2nd half, Villa scored a goal. He was cool!!

The following game was Russia vs Greece, we weren't interested at all so we headed back home.

"Cocktails at Bulldog"

A DAY WITHOUT PLAN

We planned to go to Macau for a day trip but becoz of our laziness, we were too late to book the ferry ticket adn they are all full!! Finally we had no plan for today. I woked up at around 2.30pm and then call my friends to see what we can do. AC suggested to have Thai food and we came out to Pacific Place at around 6pm and then shopped around first.

This Thai food restaurant is kinda like private dinning but the food was cheap and delicious!! It is managed by Thai people and they have lived in Hong Kong for nearly 30 years!! There were very nice and we learned some Thai language from them.


I liked this dessert "Coconut rice with mango", very sweet and delicious!! After dinner we went to Carnegie's to have a drink. There was live band show and it was great!! I like the atmosphere there but seems PY didn't really enjoy! She was quite quiet!! :D

Then we went to watch "Sex and the City" in the midnight. Tomorrow is public holiday so we can stay up later than usual. I didn't want to watch this movie yet coz I promoised to watch with someone on coming Friday. But Hang and FC have watched Indiana Jones already so we got no choice. Well I may watch again on coming Friday =_=

I haven't watched the drama of "Sex and the City" so I have no idea about the background of the story. It's quite funny and with a lot of amusing scenes but it would be better if I have seen the drama. I think the best parts of the movie were the fashions and I quite like the character of Samantha, she was cute and funny :D

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGES

We planned to do kickboxing tonight but the class was full so we watched film instead. It was a really entertaining romantic comedy. The story was a bit silly but cute and funny. Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz played very well and it was full of laugh out loud funny moments. I liked it!! :D

After watching film, we went to Tsing Kei Chuen Korean Restaurant to have a late dinner. We ordered a cold noodle and a kimchi pot, the food was good!! The portion was quite big and we hardly finished them all. I was sooo full!!

"Korean cold noodles"

"Kimchi pot, not too spicy!!"

AC'S BELATED BD CELEBRATION

We celebrated AC's belated birthday tonight. FC suggested this "Cafe le must" French restaurant since she just had dinner there a week ago.

This restaurant offered a four courses set dinner and I chose to have foie gras, cream soap with mushrooms, steak and cream caramel as dessert. So far the food was ok since it wasn't too expensive. I liked the steak but the foie gras was only ok and the dessert wasn't good at all. Their service was good tho and they offered a free tiny birthday cake for AC. But the birthday cake wasn't soft enough and AC didn't like it :P

THE DAY AFTER TYPHOON

Haven't seen Christophe for a while and his friend has come to Hong Kong for vacation so we were chilling out today. We planned to visit The Big Buddha but becoz of the unstable weather, we went to Discovery Bay instead. It's my second time to go to Discovery Bay. Last time when I went there becoz my friend was playing for the dragon boat competition, I didn't really visit Discovery Bay much.



Comparing with Lamma Island, I more like Discovery Bay becoz the house looks more impressive :D We had a walk and then had drinks at the bar. It was really relaxing!!





Since there was nothing much to see in Discovery Bay so we took the ferry back to Central and then had a walk in MK.

Then we had seafood dinner in Jordan. The food was good but the service was bad. Seems they are short of staffs so we had to wait for long time when we needed help.

"Scallops? I guess"

After dinner we had dessert, Laila ordered papaya with hashma but she didn't know what hashma is. We explained to them that it's good for skin and it is the oval of frog and she was quite shocked LOL Laila didn't want to eat after knowing!! Christophe and Nabil dared to try but I think they don't really like :D It's not that disgusting, isn't it?
