Good friends,good food & good wine.....

suckling pig @RM230/- Sin Soon Chin Restaurant





Cheers/cheese to good friends,Hong Kuan Boo & Awangku Hashim for the bottles of sherry as shown above..

...what more could I want?..tutu jackpot,please.
ching..ching..ching...this year the mood to ching ching ching is so..so..so lah if you know what I mean. Despite the fact that 4 legs of lamb,one turkey,several chicken & a few kilos of beef had been consumed by friends in my house the ching ching mood was not that into me then until Mary played some good old xmas songs over MiriFM during lunchtime & Cath Apau went on the air to share her xmas fruit cake recipe. Last night,after having dinner with some ladies at Miri City Foodcourt,a few of them stayed on asking me how I cooked the leg of lamb that they had when they came for the poco-poco practice. So I told them how I did mine;rub some salt & seasoning,mustard,lemon & garlic,rosemary & then put in the oven. So they suggested that I do a demonstration on some omputeh xmas dishes. So I told them that I would think it over.
This morning,I somehow had this funny feeling that I needed to check on my oven & true enough.......Sorry ladies,I just checked my 22 year old oven(got 2;one kaput a few years ago & they are as old as my house); the working oven a few days ago is not working. What a time to get rosak.
Anyway,pulai ngagai cherita kami di malam,bisi 2 or 3 iko bala madah diri bisi book turkey ari dynasty hotel. Enggi Girl,2 iko ko iya. Last year sekelip mata turkey abis,nya order 2 iko taun tu. Doria order siko ari Ma Baker,ko iya. Ngagai bala ke enda tergiga ke turkey ba supermarket tau ke cooked turkey nya mar,you can substitute it with a big size manok. Nyau limpang mimit tu...bisi indu 'Arab' siko pulai ari Saudi madah kediri selalu macha blog aku,madah ke maioh2 turkey tegaring ba supermarket sida din,ko iya. Bisi ngenang nuan aku,ko ia tang nadai cara kati ka mai turkey nya. Thanks for the thought,anyway. Au,manok nya tau meh di roast kitai baka kitai roast turkey. Udah iya mansau,gerinek enggau sida potatoes,sausages & bacons. sssshhhh nadai bala pengabang nemu nya manuk,kumbai sida kulok ti di gaga nuan baka nya.(i.e if you finish the turkey)
Nama agi cerita? Udah meli wine kita? I love drinking but I am a lousy drinker. Just 1 sip & I'd have this throbbing headache for a few days so I have laid off drinking wine. I just stick to good old COKE. I have got 2 early xmas presents from my good friends,Hong & Awangku. They both know my fav drink is Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry & every year I got one bottle each from them..sometimes 2 bottles from Hong. Thanks to Hong & Awangku for the 'tonic'. Normally the omputih old ladies that drink sherry...
Kalau datang lagi,jangan lupa bawa satu botol lagi! Murah bah itu di Labuan. Ha..ha..Thanks Hong & Awangku. ( Awangku,I know you'd be reading this....)
