In the nick of time before the Lights Off Ceremony - just thirty minutes before the ceremony. We quickly walk around for some quick shots before we have to wait for another year. (Do bear with the repetitive pictures and the 'not so clear' image).

Dad eagerly told us that we are going to taste some shark meat over the long weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I am not avid fan of shark fin myself. But in this matter of shark eating, why waste the fish when it is dead? We drove all the way to Kapar, a small town in Klang.

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.

Friend in need is a friend indeed. Working day in day out had made each and everyone of us exhausted in some way or another. Sometimes issues made us even temperamental especially when you least expected it. I had my share too . . . That is when friends come to mind as the savior.

I know I needed to someone to listen to my rambling and comfort food when everything I do and see gets to my nerves. Finally had the chance to get together with my "Mama-friend". We exchange experience and stories of all sorts. I went over to Klang with my other buddy for the tete-a-tete session.

Caren had invited us to her home over the weekend to finish the ice-cream we bought to her place the last time. And she is doing something new at her place (Steam-care from Wusien Consume-Merchant (M) Sdn Bhd, steaming for health purposes) other than doing Gourmet Cottage which is open to public dining during the weekend.

I had craved for banana split and pasta for a few days now. The time is just right when Caren's invitation came. With such good cook and the craving for some desserts, we then decided to make the event of desserts. Had gone through various food blogs on ideas to make. Then she decided that we have strawberry mousse, chocolate banana ice-cream and filo of something.

And the menu is finalize on the day itself. We have spaghetti balognese for lunch and our main event of desserts - choco banana filo with ice cream and strawberry mousse.

A little late for this post but how could I miss this event out organize by my dear friend. It was during the Chinese New Year visitation cum gathering at my dear friend's house. She is a good cook and loves to feed us with lots of food.

How could CNY without a Yee Sang? Our abalone yee sang compliments from Xin Yun.
And the table is full with food, more than enough to feed all of us!
