December Delights Part 2.

This long overdue blog is the second part of my food journey. Hemm...

2nd stop

Tenom Cafe

Had this for brunch:

"Rojak Mee"

and washed down by this:

"kupi o Tenom kaw-kaw"

The verdict?

Okay, first I want to defend myself. The choice made for brunch wasn't in the original plan. Had initially wanted to try the famous 'Lamb Coffee' which was highly recommended by Miss Mathew. However, since we got hungry real early (before the clock strikes 12 noon), had to settle for the breakfast menu. No other food seem tempting enough so I chose the safer option (please stop yawning this instant!) 'Rojak Mee' coz I like rojak and am like rojak...hehe. Ok lah, the verdict 5/10. The 'Rojak Mee' served at Kak Nong is much better...much-much better. First of all, the chicken had a certain smell and tasted a bit different. Presentation wise, 'sedang-sedang'. The Tenom coffee was splendid tho'...very nice. I would give it a perfect 10! I definitely would give this place another go as I still owe myself the 'Lamb Coffee'. Can't wait for Miss Mathew to come back ;)

December Delights Part 1

The month of December is synonymous with two F's...1) Festive and 2) Food...and since there're two more weeks before Christmas well... let me rearrange the order of priority for the two delightful Fs. Hence, this is the first part of my Food Journey.

1st Stop

The Manhattan Fish Market

My 'catch' of the day!

Manhattan's Cajun Salmon

Followed by

"Tiramisu"

So, the verdict? A bit pricey but a must try for all...Out of 10, I would give it an 8. The setback? Hemm, service a bit slow :(

Note to self: "Drag your hide to the nearest optician for your glasses' TLC!"

My Fred...

I'm elated that today I finally managed to finish reading the book 'The Fred Factor' by Mark Sanborn. It took me eight months to finish this book (well sorta...). It seems to be a long time right, top finish a book that is about 112 pages long..hehe. But truth be told, I didn't actually spend the whole eight months reading the seriously. Most of the time, after reading a few paragraphs, the world suddenly became pitch black. Suffice to say that this book is as good as any sleeping pills out there.

With all due respect, it is not totally a boring book. I admit that there are some interesting things that I have learnt. First and foremost, it has made me think of ways in which I can become a 'Fred'. Gladly, it doesn't require me to undergo any massive surgery to achieve this as anyone can be a Fred, regardless of sex, age and political inclinations :) So let me define a 'Fred'. A Fred is a person who "takes pride in his/her work and turn the ordinary into the extra ordinary". Hemm...an interesting definition. I've lived my life as 'ordinary' as I could for as long as I can remember, ever content of achieving 'average' results for anything. I guess that I am afraid of aiming high for fear of failure or disappointments. "Cukup makan". Hence, I am only a 'half-Fred'. So I this book has triggered a need to find the other half of me, the missing link, the other half-Fred, to complete my transformation. I don't know how long it takes for me to find 'her' but in the process, I will adopt some Fred-like behaviours such as being more polite, friendly and helpful to other people. Small acts which if accumulated, can make a big difference ;)

Good day to you!
