Restaurant Review: Four Seasons London

I haven't done a restaurant review in a very long time. But what better way than to revive it with a review of the famous Four Season restaurant.

Four Seasons London is a restaurant located in Bayswater, London. it is famous for its roast duck. Reviews online has been good and I have heard that this restaurant is a must go place if i ever do stop by in London. So famous is this place that I've heard about it from several friends.

My friend introduced me to the this branch in Empire SHopping Gallery in Subang.
I was very excited at this discovery, as it's about time I sank my teeth into its famous roast duck!


The fried rice was good! Very flavourful and had good 'wok hei'


Next, we had the mixed roasted meat combo, and in this picture, you see the siew yuk and char siew.

Both are decent, but wont blow your mind away.



And finally, it was the roast duck.
Four Seasons Bayswater roast duck!!!! OMG!!!
O.O

Well it was good lah, but not as awesome as I expected. Maybe because i've heard so much stories from my friends about how good it is and etc, and I may have placed it in a pedestal way too to achieve.

But its good lah...

Anyways, food here wasnt too expensive. Me and a friend spent about a total of RM50 for the food above plus wantan noodles.

I should be back here again soon to give this place another try.

Christmas 2010 : Project 6" Rainbow, Good Samaritan Home

This is a delayed post by about a month, partly because I'm lazy and secondly I was buzy.

Anyways, Last year's Christmas was a breath of fresh air for me.

Decided to fulfill a Kid's Shelter Xmas wishes; as organised by a friend, M.

M posted this Project 6" Rainbow and asked her fellow friends to chip in or help out. And somehow the spiriit of Xmas led me and several of her friends to do just that.

It started with us bringing KFC lunch as well as all their gifts and necessities in a convoy to Klang.

Seeing the kids having KFC for lunch makes me feel very appreciative of what I have and what I can afford for myself. Thinking back of my childhood, I guess mine wasn't too bad after all.

The home had reared pets to instill the loving and nurturing habit among the kids. They had rabbits as well as a pet dog at the home.

Kids enjoying their KFC meal together.

I miss sitting on this swing in my grandmother's house in Malacca...



Finger licking good!

Baubles of Joy and Happiness

Kids rushing to get their share of candy canes and Gingerbread cookies

Mon showing some maternal skills

The many gifts that we brought for the children

CY giving out gingerbread man to the kids.

The pet poodle they kept at the home was always looking into the house. Unfortunately we didnt bring it any gifts.

Kids happily unwrapping their gifts

I saw one kid loving his yo-yo so much he kiseed it repeatedly!

=)



CY consoling a girl. Good training ;-P

The many necessities we brought to the home.

The wonderful Santarinas that came!

And lastly, a group pic with all the kids.

What better way than to end the night with Shrek and my own Gingerbread man.

Selalu Denganmu (Always be with you)

This song is taken from Atilia's 2008 album, entitled Sangkar. One of the best local jazz albums in a long time. Produced by Roslan Aziz, she was tipped to be the next Sheila Majid.

THis is my all time favourite song from her, a cover of the Indonesian star, Tompi's song; Selalu Denganmu. Beautiful lyrics!




Adakah waktu yang tak berbatas
Untukku merasa bahagia
Saat saat aku jatuh cinta
Saatku terbang jauh ke sana

Selalu denganmu
Kasihku selamanya
Selalu denganmu
Cintaku bersama
Kaulah matahari
Dalam hidupku
Dan kaulah cahaya bulan
Dimalamku
Hadirmu selalu akan ku tunggu
Cintamu selalu akan ku rindu
Dan tiada lagi batas ruang waktu

Tahukah kau diriku tak sanggup hidup
Bilaku jauh darimu ku ingin dipelukanmu
Ohh Tuhan tetapkan rasa cintaku ini
Hanya untukmu selalu setia
selama-lamanya ooohhhh

Kaulah matahari
Dalam hidupku
Dan kaulah cahaya bulan
Dimalamku
Hadirmu selalu akan ku tunggu
Cintamu selalu akan ku rindu
Dan tiada lagi batas ruang waktu

ohhhh

Tahu kah kau diriku tak sanggup hidup
Bilaku jauh darimu ku ingin dipelukanmu selalu
Ohh Tuhan tetapkan rasa cintaku ini
Hanya untukmu selalu setia
selama-lamanya ohhhh

Tahukah kau diriku tak sanggup hidup
Bilaku jauh darimu ku ingin dipelukan mu
Ohh Tuhan tetapkan rasa cintaku ini
Hanya untukmu selalu setia
selama-lamanya ohhhh

Movie Review: Great Day (Tian Tian How Tian)

Its been a long time since I last did a movie review, but i think this movie is worth a review.

The reason being: its a local production with local personalities. So in a way must support right?

WRONG!

If its not good, local or not, not worth supporting.

I watched this movie on the insistance of my mum. She wanted tow atch this so badly that she was willing to watch the midnight opening on Wednesday. I bargained with her and we settled for Friday night. And yes, it was a Friday midnight movie date with my mom. Sue me.

Okay, the movie storyline is simple. Its about 2 old men who live in a old folk's home trying to outdo each other. They are always comparing how much their children loves them and how each of their children are successful. Long story short, its a family movie.

I absolutely LOVE the landscape in ths movie. Set amongst the paddy fields of Kedah / Perlis, i love the colors of the sky and the green paddy plants. There is a moral to these type of movies and I can say that it is pretty moving. Worth taking your family out to watch this movie.

Dialogues are in Mandarin, Cantonese as well as Hokkien, so there is a very Chinese kampung feel to that movie.

Rating: 7 / 10. pretty good for a local production on a budget. Can't help but notice the brands that were highlighted in the movie (no choice lah, sponsors mah...)

Flying High

Well, no, I'm not flying off to anywhere so soon.

I wish I was. But due to budget constraints, I'll have to limit my travels this year.

But thats not going to stop me from enjoying myself, which will still give the the feeling of flying high up in the skies.

Travel doesn't make me happy. Its the people that make it on the journey with me that makes it nice. If I had to travel alone, I would rather not travel. Experiences are meant to be shared, and nothing thrills me more than to share it with friends.

Well anyways, thats another topic. I just wanted to share this song which I love. It's from an artiste by the name of Jem (No, not Jem and the Holograms, the 80s cartoon!)




Well, here's a song entitled, Flying High. Its a video made by a Grey's Anatomy fan.



You can't know, oh no
You can't know
How much I think about you, no
It's making my head spin
Looking at you
And you are looking at me
And we both know what we want
Hmmm, so close to giving in

Feel so nice
Oh yeah you feel so nice
Wish I could spend the night
But I can't pay the price
Oh no, no

But I'm flying so high
High off the ground
When you're around
And I can feel your high
Rocking me inside
It's too much to hide

I know, oh yes
I know that we can't
Be together
But, I just like to dream
It's so strange
The way our paths have crossed
How we were brought together
Hmmm, it's written in the stars it seems
Feel so nice
Oh yeah you feel so nice
I'd love to spend the night
But I can't pay the price
Oh no, no

And I'm flying so high
High off the ground
When you're around
And I can feel your high
Touching me inside
And it's too much to hide

Back to earth
Where did you take me to
I know there's no such thing
As painless love
Well it'll catch us up
And we can never win
But ohhh
I feel so alive
Ohhh
Just wanna hold you
Hold you so tight

And I'm flying so high
High off the ground
When you're around
And I can feel your high
Touching me inside
And it's too much to hide
And I'm flying so high
High off the ground
When you're around
