揾嘢吃@Montréal,Canada

Oh gosh, I killed 3 mosquitoes [while typing, I managed to kill another eight!] tonight and 4 were killed yesterday. A mosquito's life is short. One moment ago, they were sucking blood happily. Three seconds later, they might be killed in powerful palms. The lesson of this story? We should eat happily while we can  >_< 

Enough of the moral lesson, join me to the city of Montréal, Canada! Notice the acute accent on the letter "e"? Yeah, Montréal is a French speaking city. In fact, Montréal is the second largest French speaking city in the world!!! But you don't have to worry too much when you see lots of French along the streets, English speaking is quite common here.

This trip happened in last summer, just a few days before I came back to Malaysia. One word to describe this city: Awesome! I wish I was living there. In fact, Montréal is consistently rated as one of the most livable city in the world.

Back to the story, the Nickel's Restaurant Deli & Grill was the first restaurant that we had dinner once we reached the city at night after 8 hours of bus ride.

The interior design has classical retro style.

 

Surprisingly, the hors d'œuvre (appetizer) served was popcorn. No surprise, the popcorn was salty. For your information,  popcorn in Canada is salty, not sweat as we have in Malaysia. Weird huh?

And I ordered ribs with french fries, salads, and chicken fillets. It was quite good.

The next day, we came to this food shop to eat roasted chickens. I believe this thick-moustached uncle is a French.

Chickens being roasted.

This is the roasted chicken. To me, its taste was OK only.

At night, we came to a Irish Pub restaurant.

This is not a newspaper. Don't fool by its look. It is a menu. 

We are young, so we like challenges, right? Therefore, we had a food challenge. However, this food challenge could risk my life! Guys, I present to you, the most spicy chicken wings in the world! This ain't jokes. We even had to sign the waiver form!

Tata, this is the world's most spicy chicken wings. After the first bite, my lips were completely numb and coughed for 2 minutes and I couldn't speak a word at all. For the next 5 minutes, I couldn't feel my lips and I had to drink lots of iced water. You have to get a bite on this chicken wing to feel what I said. Unfortunately, we didn't complete the challenge.

 On the same day in the afternoon, we came to this restaurant to eat puddings.

See the poutines? Oh my grave, they were so mouth-watering. Diet? Only after this big meal ^^

The next day, we went to a dim sum restaurant.

Shrimp dumplings.

 

 "Siu Mai"

"Siao Long Pau"

 Special.

 

"Yao Zha Gui Cheong Fun"

"Pregnant Fish" Yup, these fish were pregnant when they were cooked. A lot of eggs inside the stomach.

OK, done with the foods. Some pictures of this beautiful city.

Woohoo! My Parents and Me~~~

Two nights ago, I was cleaning up my wardrobe and surprisingly, I found three old photo albums from the bottom drawer.

Those photo albums contain many precious photos of my parents. All photos were taken when my parents were still on their young age.

No time to be waste. So let's see what we got here.

Wao! My mommy was more beautiful than any Miss Hong Kong when she was young.

My parents dating. ^-^

Hmm, do I look more like my mommy or daddy?

Wasai! My daddy was very handsome and fashionable back then.

My daddy has been working as a welder on ships in Singapore since before I was born. Respect!

Bonus: I was such a cutieeee!!! LOLz

Mixture of Life

Not so happy. Because I didn't do well in Stats Test 2.

Very happy. Because 5 digits in my account again! D90, you'll be definitely mine!

When you gain too much, you'll lose something. When you lose something, you'll gain another thing.

That's life. C'est la vie.

Mid-fall is here. The weather is so adorable.

Raya This Year--Second Round

I was busy for the past 2 weeks and will be very busy for the following weeks. So I will try to update every 2 weeks.

Last Saturday was one of the happiest day in this old city. The night before, Peter and I went to the Malays' house to help them out. In fact, we didn't help much since we don't know how to cook Masak Merah Chicken. However, I did help to cut and slice onions and garlic. Here are the evidence.


They bought a lot of materials and spices from the ones I know to the unknown ones.


From 10pm till the morning, they cooked non-stop. I must praise them for being so Iron-Chef.



Me? I was very sleepy and hungry so I decided to eat instant noodles gave by my junior while watching Stephen Chow's old movie "Look Out Officer" on Youtube.


Past 4 a.m, I couldn't tahan anymore so I cycled back to my house along with Peter. It was so nice to cycle at midnight because no one would disturb you and you can do things you don't dare to do at days. For example, violate a red light. (^<^) I slept till 11 a.m and I thought I was late because we were supposed to meet at Alyssa's house at 11 a.m. Immediately, I went to Peter's room and he was lying on the bed with lappy in front of him. So I asked him and he replied that the Malays were just woke up. Fainted.......I can't blame them because they did all the works and they deserved to wake up late. >< Close to 12pm, we headed to Alyssa's house with a van cab. Aiya, almost forget to mention that I wore a yellow color traditional Baju Melayu that day!

It looks good on me. Hehe. After we arrived at Alyssa's house, the first thing I heard was: "Ah, KOK LEONG!!" from Miss Yash. Okay, I admit I was so handsome that day and girls were attracted to me. Haha, I think too much. Not so later, the first guest family arrived. We gave a warm welcome to them and after a short pray by the Malays' friends, the Raya open house had officially begun!






Surprisingly, I didn't eat much that day as I always did. I love the desserts and cookies that were made by Alyssa, Darleena and Yash. They were so good and I couldn't stop myself from put those cookies into my mouth, same thing happened to Alias and Yasser. As I quoted: Makan dessert ini macam makan dadah, you just can't stop."



Officially my new logo. ^^

Later, the second guest family came. We talked aloud, we took photos crazily using digital cameras and DSLRs, we had a "pillow talk" without pillow on the basement, we played Wii games and we ate.


Around 5 p.m, the guest families left. But before one of guests left, in the dining room, he told us that he will give us $ 1000 for each who graduate successfully. Everyone was like flying to the heaven when heard that. And he said it twice: "I promise. I will do it! I will do it!". Undoubtedly, it was a huge motivation for us to study harder.

There is him.

Open house ain't open house without ladies.



This photo is so nice. It gives me a feeling of back to the old good time.

Had fun outside.


Thanks guys.
