Love it! **2 thumbs up** especially the hero, sangatla sweet n macho (the character i mean ) lalallaa



27Dresses is definitely a worth watching (to whom who loves to watch romantic comedy of cos..)

Btw we watch it at GSC Signature, The Gardens. Been there 2 times and we already so addicted to that place. Definitely a must go place to watch movie tho' a lil expensive. It's worth it! Enjoy the photos...

**he definitely loves this place**

He had a teambuilding in Malaysia Baking Institute. One whole department went. About 40+ of them. Sound a bit girlish kan.. but hey, best chefs are always men. *Sigh* I found it creative tho' and interesting to have such cooking activities for a teambuilding. Unlike us, *duh* sangat la bosan okeh our company's teambuilding.


So here it is.. the 3 precious recipes he did and soooo proud of it!

3rd day at Hanoi. Initially we planned to go for city tour which was arranged by the hotel . Cost us USD17/pax. Tapi lepas fikir2, my abah decided to tour the city on our own. Adventurous jugak abah aku ni.. hehehe... he asked around and found out that we could actually tour by bus. It cost us only VND3,000 per trip /pax. sangat la murah. tp of course la if you take the tour, everything is arranged by them. ada guide, all entrance fee semua covered dlm tu. tp since we dont plan to enter all the museums and what not.. just nak jalan2 tgk tempat org je.. rombongan cik kiah kami pun naik la bas. Bas diorang very spacious tak mcm tempat kita. maybe most of them naik motor. tak ramai la naik bas.

Well i guess it's worth it la.

The next morning we went to the famous lake in Old Quarter - Hoan Kiem Lake which is situated nearby our hotel -about 5 minutes walk. (FYI, there are many lakes in hanoi.. macam2 nama..). And sangat la sejuk sampai kebas-kebas tangan..

**Dekat Hoan Kiem Lake**


From there, jalan2 lagi area Old Quarter. Memang tak abis jalan sampai la balik.

**Jalan-jalan di Old Quarter**


**Faces of Old Quarter**


Then as shown by Pak Ben (the owner of Nisa Restaurant- the only Malay /Halal Restaurant in Hanoi) we then went to Dong Xuan Market which is about 15 minutes walk from our hotel. Masih dlm kawasan Old Quarter lagi. Dong Xuan market is more like a wholesale market where they sell many many things there. Kraftangan, bags, sovenirs, foods... etc but we didnt buy much there. Beli gajus je, VND140,000/ kg. Dlm rm28/kg. Earlier, we have arranged with the hotel for a trip to Silk Village @ Van Phuc. It costs us USD30/trip. Hmmm quite okay la. Silk Village tempat they all produce silk, so you can get cheaper price compared to the one sold in Hang Gai Street. Quality wise.. unsure. Pada saya, lebih kurang jek. So sangat berbaloi la pergi ke Silk Village.

And for the 1st time, i saw this in real. We heard about it - that Viet ate dogs!! Dgr je dah geli.. how bout seeing it?

**Adegan yang tak sanggup anda lihat ~ anjing panggang**


Erkkk enuff on dogs! Yikess terbayang sampai balik
Journey to Silk Village lebih kurang 1 hour pergi and 1 hour balik. We were allowed to spend only 2 hours there. Memang tak sempat. Kelam kabut jugak. Since limited time masa kat Silk Village, sampai Old Quarter we all sambung shopping @ Hang Gai Street pulak Compared to Silk Village, price of silk at Hang Gai Street double than Silk Village.

**Shopping @ Hang Gai Street**


Most of the time we ate in the hotel. We brought canned food since susah nak dapat halal food kat Viet. Dah la cuaca sejuk sangat.. (until the day we went home pun masih 6 degrees!) perut pun asik bekeroncong la.

Salam .. just got back from Hanoi, last Sunday to be exact. 7 of us (myself, hubby, mom, MIL, PIL sis/bro-in-law), stayed in Hanoi for 4d3n. It's winter in Hanoi! (but of cos no snow la, but there is snow in SaPa Village - 12 hours from Hanoi.. wowww).. We arrived in Hanoi- Noi Bai Airport around 8.30am (local time) and it was about 6 degrees and decreased to 3 degrees at night! sampai je terus shopping mittens, cap, shawl.. luckily murah..

Quote:

In Hanoi there are four distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. But it is possible to divide the climate here into two main seasons: the rainy season from May to September (it’s hot, heavy rain), and the dry season from October to April (it’s cold, little rainfall). The annual average temperature is 23.2oC, but in Winter the average temperature is 17.2oC. The lowest temperature ever recorded was 2.7oC in 1955. The average summer temperature is 29.2oC, with the highest ever recorded being 42.8oC in 1926. On average, there are 114 rainy days a year with around 1,800 mm of rainfall.

**Welcome to Hanoi**



**Testing cap... sejukkk**


I booked the hotel thru the internet with some guidance from TripAdvisor. Its really helped and i am quite satisfied with the hotel condition. We booked 2 rooms 1 X Deluxe Room = USD35 and 1 X Family Suite = USD40 per nite. Arranged sekali airport transfer with the hotel for USD18 per trip. This is really important as i have read in many forums that many people complaints on taxi scam at Noi Bai Airport. Jahat sungguh org2 kat sana.. they can easily cheated on you and said that the hotel you have booked is fully book and they will bring you to another hotel where they'll get commission and of course the hotel will overcharged you! Kira taxi ulat la ni..

**From airport to hotel**


Our hotel - Golden Sun hotel is located in Old Quarter (about 45 minutes from Airport). Kira cam old town Hanoi la.. in Old Quarter itself there are about or more 40 small streets where each streets; sepanjang panjang jalan tu org meniaga. Each street jual their own specialties la.. ie: Hang Gai Street jual silk semata, then this street jual kasut je.. and so on.. there are soooo manyyyyy things on sale. But of course BARGAIN is essential!! Owh.. In my opinion, Viet kinda rude la.. if to compared with Thais. Kalu kita bargain lebih2.. masam mencuka la muka dia.. siap mcm marah2 kata NO NO..
From my observation, diorang ni kecik2 orangnye.. kuat gadoh.. ha ha ha.. i saw them quarelling over small accident! memang gadoh giler2 la.. takut wo siap jerit2; padahal accident ciput jek. They eat dogs! yikesss i got the pic as a prove.. anjing panggang .. erkkkk he he.. apart from these.. barang2 kat sana murah2 belaka.. sutera, kain langsir, beg modern (immitation or ori? not sure) and ethnic, home deco, etc ect.. sangat sangat murah!
Currency : Vietnam Dong (VND) but they use USD as well. Of course it is better to use VND sebab senang nak bargain and cheaper. What i did, I change RM to USD here then convert to VND there. Lagi untung coz you cant really find money changer yg sell VND here in KL plus expensive banding kat Vietnam itself.

**Our hotel ~ Golden Sun Hotel**


We spent most of the time in Hanoi @ Old Quarter itself. Pusing2 situ je.. pun tak abis jalan. Makan wise susah sket because there's only 1 halal restaurant (2 actually). The most famous one is Nisa Restaurant - owner from Malaysian. (The other one is Pakistani food kot - Shalimar Restaurant). We had our meal only twice kat Nisa.. selebihnya makan kat hotel as we brought our own food - canned food/ instant mee. Nisa restaurant tu sangat mahal. A plate of fried rice cost you VND50,000 = RM10. Roti canai pun = VND50,000 = RM10. (tp standard la, tempat org kan..)

**Nisa Restaurant**


Masa we all sampai, Viet tgh prepare for their Lunar New Year celebration (CNY in Malaysia). So along the road tu, banyakkkkk org jual pokok buah limau mandarin yg kecik2 tu. Yummmyyy.. manis sangatt!

**Limau mandarin di mana-mana**

We went to Mid Valley recently.. hubby was actually looking for his new backpack.. (berangan la laki aku ni..). More like window shopping la.. dont plan to buy anything.. my main target is actually to eat the newly open Carls Jr at Mid. This is not my 1st time eating this yummy charbroiled style burger as I enjoyed it so damn much back then when I was in secondary school. They once in Malaysia; specifically in Jalan Tun Perak's area back in 1994 or /1995? Cant remember the exact years as I left school many manyy manyyyy yearsssss ago. (Mcm dah tua je rasa.. )

And it is as yummy as those dayssss (hundreds of days ago ) Except that the size is even bigger ..

** Will updates the photos soon.. ** zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz

Today is our 1st Anniversary.. **sigh**.. dah setahun berlalu.. and still missing that very day.. happy.. nervous.. excitement.. and till now still rasa unbelievable.. I'm the wife, he's the husband and we are a family. And I hope the coming years would be more exciting and hopefully ada rezeki utk tambah new member.. AMIN.. (InsyaAllah)..

We celebrated our 1st year together as Hubby and Wife at KL Tower. Hoping to have a nice romantic dinner.. unfortunately the place is nothing but a "pasar malam" look alike. Crampy.. packed with people.. noisy.. well said.. not a romantic place to celebrate your anniversary or any romantics event. Anyway thanks to the VIEW. That great view saved our night.Well, I gave 5/5 for the view, 3/5 for the food, 2/5 for the service and 2/5 for the crowd. As for the food, we took buffet instead of ala carte (mcm kureng romantik la amik buffet) since not much was offered in the menu. Luckily we didnt ordered ala carte sebab ada couple sat in front of us complaints about their ala carte food. And they too seems uneasy with the surroundings (ayoo ada budak lari2 lagi tau sebelah our table)

**Welcome to KL Tower- The Revolving Restaurant, Seri Angkasa**






And finally.. i got this from my beloved hubby - the anniversary gift.. PDA phone. Thanks sayang. I love you more ha ha

Hooorraayyy PUBLIC HOLIDAY! I'm lucky to work in Selangor.. ada banyakkk cuti. Ngeh ngeh ngeh.. unfortunately my hubby's working today.. I've cooked nasi lemak for him to tapau to work.. and oso ayam goreng pandan. Ayam goreng pandan ni adalah sumber dr F&R cari.com. Sangat sedapppp..

**Ayam goreng pandan**


Khas tuk eixora.. ini la resepi ayam goreng pandan tu.. cilok kat F&R cari.com.my..

THAI PANDAN CHICKEN / AYAM PANDAN THAI [sumbangan :cranko 21]
Bahan A
5 keping isi ayam (tanpa kulit) - di potong dadu dlm 1-1/2 ichi besar --> saya guna chicken fillet, tak potong dadu pun.. chiken fillet tu panjang2 dan agak nipiskan.. lepas perap, saya gulungkan saja jadi isi dia tebal sikit..
Daun Pandan secukupnya - pilih yg lebar2

1. bersihkan ayam tos airnya
2. bersihkan daun pandan dan di lap hingga kering

Bahan B
1 batang serai
3 ulas bawang putih
3 biji bawang kecil
sedikit kunyit
1 sdm sos ikan --> tak guna pun, sebab kat umah takde ..
1 sdt sos soya (dark soya sauce)
1 sdt gula
1 sdt serbuk lada putih - lebihkan kalau mahu lebih pedas
sedikit garam

Cara

1. Masukkan semua bahan2 B dlm blender dan di blend hingga halus.
2. Gaulkan isi ayam dgn Bahan2 kisar tadi dan perap selama sekurang2nya 1 jam
3. Isikan ayam dlm daun pandan dan ikat secara baik. --> saya gulung chiken fillet saya tu, dan balut ngan daun pandan
4. Semasa mahu menghidang.. panaskan minyak dan goreng ayam dlm daun pandan tadi selama 5 minit.. toskan minyak dan hidangkan.

Nota:
Ayam pandan ni boleh di buat dan di simpan dlm freezer dan goreng bila2 masa di perlukan...

**Nasi Lemak saya **


oppsss pardon my nasi lemak yang tak cukup sifat.. takde timun, takde kacang goreng.. lupa beli aaarrr

Setelah 3 malam / 3 hari di Bangkok, it's time to go home. My flt is at 6+ and hubbs ard 7+.
Before we went back, sempat pulak singgah Chatucak weekend market. Chatucak ni actually open Sat/Sun. Tp on Friday still open tho' not so many shops la yg bukak. Tp still la banyak jugak. Chatucak sangatttttt besarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....... tapi sebab we all kejar time, and target nak beli dried food like gajus, asam jawa gula tu.. kitorang memang pusing carik tu je. Tapi rupa2 nya mahal jugak kat situ. Maybe sebab tak banyak kedai bukak kot. Sekilo gajus = TBH280 = RM28. Itu paling murah, kedai lain offer TBH 300+. But still cheap la compared to KL kan. Kat Chatucak ada banyakk jual baju, thai silk, home deco, macam2 la. Next time bila gi BKK lagi, memang we all plan nak explore Chatucak je. Malas nak pegi Suan Lum. And harga di Chatucak much cheaper than in Suan Lum. But i think the Thai Silk quality tu lagi bagus kat kedai yg we all be kat Suriwong Rd tu. Sarung kusyen macam kat Khazanah pun dlm RM10 je. Khazanah jual sampai RM35 .

We bought gajus and beg tuk buat souvenir kat kawan2.

** Continue later.. penatttttt**
