Calories Overdose Day Out, me ♥ TAO + Penang Hawker ♥

Since our dear Xinyun managed to pass all her subjects which apparently is a big success for her, time for TAO outing at Autocity omg I almost forgot how much I love eating all the unagi I can!! Having said that, there's one thing that I've been wanting to find out!!

I remembered seeing Tao道 at Red carpets and events while watching E! Channel, is it the same company all the way from the United States opening a branch in our small city Penang?

TAO, New York VS. TAO, Penang.

Hmmm I guess they ain't the same afterall, maybe a sub just like MIU MIU being the sub of PRADA? No MIU MIU is not a Japanese/ Asian brand but is by PRADA, by the name of Miuccia Prada now you know :)

It's surprising to not find TAO anywhere else in Malaysia other than Penang, not even Kuala Lumpur, I guess that's something we Penang lang should be proud of, being able to be pampered with streams of yummy, fresh, and well-displayed dishes with only the price of RM38++!!

Okay RM45++ with Sashimi but please, RM55 the most for a heartful satisfying meal it's only AUD 15 after converting, which always makes us happy as though we are actually earning AUD =-="

Okay enough talking and some pictures.

Looking back at my old blog posts reminds me of how much I loved blogging, pain-stakingly edit every picture and water mark them as though people out there would actually care to steal my photos and post the pix one by one and describing every move I made *gasp*

Wow I really admire my-previous-love-blogging-self.

Evidence 1

Evidence 2

To be honest, I don't remember taking most of the photos and Joe, Herng, Xinyun if you are reading this!! Spot the photo 4 of us took in the pool in N park (Evidence 2)!!!

Any idea where is the file now???? :D

Anyway, here are pictures taken yesterday definitely calories overdose for the day, read on and you'll know how many freakin stops we actually made on food!!! me love :)

To start off the day with 10 orders.

At the salad bar while waiting for our orders.

Cheese Battered Salmon.

Abalone.

Unagi and Salmon Volcano with crispy inner layer,

which adds scrumptious substance for munching ♥

Definitely a MUST-TRY!

Credits to JiaWen, our many many cawamushi!! :)

Tuna sashimi.

The carefully battered tuna piece that's hiding within.

Unagi Tofu very very healthy dish~

Ebiko, dear xinyun it's not my favourite but my bro Tatt's.

Mine is ♥ UNAGI ♥

Now the MUSSELS is added into my must-take-list-in-TAO.

Yeap it's the same sauce as the previous ones they served with the scallop.

Xinyun's favourite scallop with their new sauce, not the usual spicy one but still very cheesy yummmmmms~

Loving the mussels!!

very thin fish with sweet soy sauce, recommended for order although you are already half way there coz it's just a very small portion.

Look how thin it may look crispy and hard but fret not, the fish meat is still very tender and succulent with outer thin crispy layer.

Unagi + Rice which xinyun insist in getting although we were already full ka pua si.

Poor tiny crabs and shrimps.

Crabstick mania.

Very succulent and rich in taste :|

My all-time-favourite-Butter-Fish.

At this point we were already sipek full.

Time for photo-shooting session while waiting for the food to digest.

And then after the Coffee-Vanilla-ice-cream, we gladly declared all those as a meal ♥

Because I love promoting Penang cuisine and boost our economy :)

Lazing at Jia Wen beautifully decorated interior designed by Jia Wen herself.

After shopping at Perangin Mall with lots of online garments spotted, off we headed to New Lane, Penang (below Sunway Hotel) for my FAVOURITE Penang Hawker Food!!!

Great location to get whatever food you want from Penang, you name it, they've got it.

Curry Mee.

Jiu Hu Eng Cai i鱿鱼.

Popiah.

Jia Wen with red red lips after eating the 辣椒不用本Curry Mee.

Xinyun decided to stop for the famous Belacan 鸡 Chicken when we passed by Taman Sri Rambai and I'm lovin the chicken gizzard :)

So now you tell me, was our day overdosed by calories or what! Okay have to stop here for the time being and off to the dentist I hate going to the dentist they say certain people have different experience as their childhood phobia and I guess going to the dentist is mine T_____T

March already omg.

And so the holidays have passed by quickly.

Chap Goh Meh was last night which officially marks the end of CNY celebration! :O

Oh well it's kinda sad but life moves on.

And a few videos to cheer everyone's day :D

During Bai Ti Gong:

Dee and the boys in the family finally decided to wear the t-shirts that I bought from Egypt after 2 years. 初九 is Hokkien Lang's real Chinese New Year, I guess it's true afterall for mee insisted that we wear EVERYTHING new, literally ;)

And before Tatt leave for KL with his baby pillow and bolster:

I know I'm such an evil sister!!! :P

A little amazing something from gizmodo:

No one likes getting stuck in traffic, but some roadblocks are better than others. A few of the best: an exceptionally cute string of ducklings; an ice cream truck with a flat tire; a stunning spread of 800 LED-equipped books.

Earlier this week, the books blocked traffic on Water Street in Brooklyn, New York. They were installed by the Spanish design team Luzinterruptus to promote reading, though I'd imagine in reality they just promoted a lot of confused gawking.

The designers explained:

we want literature to seize the streets and become the conqueror of public spaces, freely offering to those who walk by a space free of traffic which for a few hours of the night will succumb to the modest power of the written word.

The line between enticing people to read and forcing them to do so by physically impeding their travel is pretty thin here, but the idea is pretty spectacular nonetheless. [Designboom]

Can I please go to New York???

Tiger 2010 ROARRRRRRS!! :D

The Tiger year has been roaring kao kao~

So far these CNY days have been really ful-filling, doing the same old spending time with the Lim and Chew families, catching up with old old friends, and getting my butt off the bed for my ♥ FashionTECTURE Launch Party ♥ on Thursday morning at 7.30am! Yes all the chaos and accumulated sleepless nights from CNY day 1 to day 4 I was like a walking zombie shifting my clothes rack from upstairs and bathed before dressing up awaiting for the guests arrivals.


I'm really glad to be able to put things together and decided to have the launch no matter what. Thanks to dearest mee for the support and Jia for suggestions on having gifts and ways to make the FashionTECTURE launch a successful one. Of course Dee's great architectural mind of designing the patio where the launch can be held without interrupting the Lim's privacy ;)


Special thanks to SongKeat and Xuan who stayed through the day! Earliest to arrive and latest to leave, and dear brother Li Tatt and dear Joe who was the photographers of the day. And also Xinyun who was the first customer, and omg all that attended the party! To be honest, I was rather perturbed for not knowing exactly how many guests are gonna arrive and the awkward atmosphere that may occur with friends from different circles. Thankfully everything went on really perfect, the food were great, weather was perfectly sunny omg hot can die, and accompaniment was just awesome, awesome, awesome ♥

Me and the Tang twins :)




Xuan is so cute!!


Retarded song keat hahaha!



Very the busy choosing choosing choosing.



The gents ;)



That's why I need a DSLR!

Oh well all in all, I had a really great time, hopefully all of them did too :)

Cut the Emo crap and let's欢迎大地回春！ \(^O^)/

I apologize for past few emo posts.

Must be the hormones taking the toll imma now 欢迎大地回春

hmmph see who's taking control now huh! :)

Life has it's ups and downs, I guess past few days must be the phase of me contemplating too much, sorry ~mee and dee~!! I must have got them worried darn all that I'm now having my holidays and holidays are meant to be happy go lucky celebration, yes dee I agree hehehehehehhe!

Got the teapot set washed from the layer of dust and I'm ready for oriental healthy drinking and if you are guessing if that is part of my getting back to shape plan, I don't see any difference with my body shape despite the morning walk every 2 days me is sad long long T_T

However as long as I am confident with my body, nobody is to bring me down! :D

Gonna have the CNY decorations up in a bit while waiting for KarLeng to come over, and I'm finally going to Jusco mall with dear JSPO buddies. Talking about going shopping, Penang TimesSquare and Sunway Carnival are the only malls that I've stepped foot in so far. Yea not even Queensbay Mall o to the m g what happened to the shopaholic bug? I guess I don't have to worry about getting CNY clothes after all with FashionTECTURE supplying me racks of new clothes? :P

How great if interest can be someone's income and fabulousness source! I'm hoping that my interest will not fade through time and FashionTECTURE by LiYinism will be growing with me as time goes by~ although yet, there are still other things to achieve in my life.

I'm really really utterly greatful to have the greatest ~mee and dee~ who is always there to support me!

Rat race please step aside because Lim Li Yin no need you to prove her that she has what it takes!

Ok la, that's all for the time being of me talking to myself.

Till then, have a great great Chinese New Year! everyone must be back home already look at all the cars lined up beside the road of the Taman with limited car parking space in the house!! O____O All of us who were in our high school days and dependent on school buses or parents to bring us around are all growing up into independent adulthood.

wow time really flies~

Because I'm just noisy like that.

At times like this, every step I take will be a life changing choice.

What should I do? Please give me a sign.

A little out of tune hehehe too high notes to reach but the accompaniment is still not bad right?

composed it myself hehehehehe I know its nice thank you..

*slap*

Seems like there are so many things I wanna do in life.

Of course what comes in priority is architect (since I spent RM-we-know-what-amount and 4 years of my youth and sleepless nights studying it) and meanwhile I wanna be a fashion designer, and then now what, singer?

Siao or not why are there so many interesting choices in life that I have to make?

The road not taken; oh well everybody knows taking the path to be an architect sure is what expected and more realistic (what you wanna be a fashion designer?! Later end up being a tailor instead. Harrrr you wanna sing?! You think you're Leona Lewis izit if your goal is to go to the CNY stage and sing then can la but no leh nowadays singers can earn big bucks yet again who am I to be at par with all of those in Grammy Awards T____T)

Okay, so anyway what I'm saying is, I'm at my prime of my life (22-25) coz we ain't as lucky as the guys, being more and more attractive as they grow older and YES THIS IS THE PRIME OF MY LIFE. How am I to spend it to optimize every moment of this??

FashionTECTURE has been set off to begin everything but no, I wouldn't wanna spend these years just taking pictures and posting and waiting for purchases and sending it to the post office and the cycle goes on.

I want to be an airstewardess HAHAHHAHA YES CRAZY YOU MIGHT SAY and initially everything seems okay, just explore and go do whatever you want to do in life but what happens if I really get chosen and getting bound to a 2 year contract? I'll be wasting 2 years, TWO YEARS of my prime life being a waitress on air and by the time I want to stop I'll be what? 25?

Getting an internship but hoollaah, more AutoCAD and sitting in the office and talking about head hunted, no doubt I SHOULD be able to deliver every task that is given to me but I'll be then sitting in the office 24/7 doing something that I am not really interested in. Not having any chance to be part of the design team (unless I'm lucky enough to be one of the top team) and yes, everything I do during internship will help me in my future to becoming an architect but is being an architect all I want in life?

Why oh why, mee was saying she thinks for the best of me, wanting me to get a good and capable beau for my life, not wanting me to waste the prime of my life away, afraid that once this period is over, year by year I'll be stuck while others are all living in the rat race and I'll be all alone without anybody CHOY!!

Aiyo, I don't know everything seems really perplexing and I give myself an excuse till after CNY. Please oh please CNY come slowly for I still daunt the future that awaits me.

HAIYO SO BISING FOR WHAT JUST GET AN INTERNSHIP AND GET ON WITH LIFE LIM LI YIN!

Yea maybe I should. sighness.

Time to practice Final Fantasy Fighting song. woohooooo..

Till then, xoxo~
