Home cooked food

Western food is much easier to cook compared to chinese food. Usually my western food would be salmon. Hubby and I love to eat salmon. No matter what way you cooked it, it will turn out good.

Roast chicken leg. Marinate chicken with salt, pepper and soy sauce and bake for 20 mins.Corn from can and salad as the side. Carrot was roast together with the chicken.

Baked Dory fish. Season the fish with lemon, salt and pepper. Bake it for 15 mins with brocolli and sausage too. SUPER DUPER EASY. Top it with mustard after that

Spaghetti Chicken. This will be on another post.

Pan fried chicken with mushroom sauce.This will be on another post.

Pan fried salmon with teriyaki sauce. This will be on another post.

My version of shepard pie. This will be on another post.

My home made island supreme. I bought premade based. Spread tuna, thousand island and crab meat on top. Finally put the cheese and baked it till you are satisfied. Took me around 25 mins.

Xuan Xin Restaurant

Xuan Xin restaurant is one of our favourite to go for Chinese meal. They served a variety of dishes and our favourite is the sweet and sour fish. They do have set meal that is worth for your $$ . Set meal includes 3 dishes, soup and rice. They do not include water in it. I think they should include chinese tea in the set meal. In my opinion set meal is created so that customer do not need to think what to eat/drink. Don't you think so?

 Kung Po chicken

Lemon chicken

Stir fry vege

BBQ plaza

This restaurant is my hubby's favourite. He is so crazy about it till we went to Bangkok and eat it there. Since it's originally from Thailand.  
 
Beef and pork supreme platter 
 
This includes in the set

Upgrade to fried rice if you do not want the plain rice. The sauce is brown colour and you need to add in garlic, lime and cili padi. To me their sauce is the selling point.

Grill your meat on the copper while the cabbage will be at the bottom with soup.

J Co donut

Our favourite donut store. It is so sinful.
 

We buy a box of 6 usually

This is how I eat donut. Tie my hair to the back so it won't interfere the process.

Steamboat at home

Nowadays I will do my own steamboat at home instead of eating out at the All You Can Eat steamboat . Reason being it is cheaper and I can buy better quality ingredients. Doing steamboat it's so easy. I just boil the chicken based soup, I add in chicken bone, lots of onion, carrot and tomatoes and boil it for 4 hours. After that if we feel like having tom yam soup based, I will add in the tom yum paste. The meatball or fish ball we will choose from the variety selection sold in the market. Total cost with fish and prawns are just RM25 for both of us. Eating out will cost RM20 per person at least. Plus this is much healthier eating at home.
 


 

On another note, I bought this for Amber at Toy's R Us. Can't wait to bring her to a swimming pool. I tried to fit this in the bath tub but can't.

Day10 USA

Day10
After breakfast we head towards Nigeria falls. It was a long journey but we could sleep in the bus. along the way the scenery was beautiful. We did past by Amish area, they do have tour on Amish, next time I will probably take that.

Long straight t road

We stop by at Corning Museum. I can't resist and bought a nice piece of glass





A show on how corning ware made


Beautiful, wish i could have it but definitely will cost a bomb
 
After a few hours drive we reach Nigeria falls.
The view is so breathtaking. How nice if there is a cafe to enjoy the view. They do have restaurant though.

 We were in the boat nearing the falls

Beautiful

After that we head towards 1000 island

It's called 1000 island because last time they have that many island there. But now it's more than that. On the island there will be houses. Like this one .. how I wish i could stay there.

I don't think i dare to stay at this house. It seems to be the smallest house here, that's what the guide said

That's the last tour in our itinerary. Such a sad moment, I was enjoying it so much that I did not want it to end.

Day9 USA


Day9
We went for 3 days 2 night tour which includes Philadelphia, Washington DC and Nigeria falls. We got the ticket in Chinatown from one of the travel agency. It was a good price and great tour. The hotel they provides are decent and good, the tour guides are good, overall a good experience. This is my first time taking a tour for my vacation. I didn't know we could manage to see so many thing in so many places at just 3 days!

We went from Philadelphia to Washington DC in a day !!


Independence Hall


Liberty Bell, symbol of independence


Space suit looks very uncomfortable. At National Air and Space Museum, it's a very big museum and we did not manage to walk all

We got bored with the museum and we walked down saw this nice building but do not know what building is that

 The Madame Tussauds in DC is mostly wax presidents

 Hubby at the US president chair

Opposite is a very nice church

 The White House. I really wonder how does it look like inside. The guide say if there is no guard on top of the roof that means Mr. President is not in. :(

The veteran memorial

 Jefferson Memorial


 Lincoln Memorial

Before we went into the tour bus caught a beautiful sunset
