I officially turned 19 the day before...and it means that this will be my last year of being a teenager and turning into the 2's next year onwards....sad case sad case....but shooh....maybe i should think positive..and besides, I'm not gonna be OLD till I'm 27 perhaps?I dont take 20's onwards as old...but just not a teenager anymore...Teenagers where you have time hanging out with your friends playing out at night and doing crazy stuffs....not that you couldnt when you're not a teenager anymore...but then it's different because most of the time when you turn that age...it's all commitment after commitment on both your career and your own life...pretty much in the future...Urgh...commitments again.
Anywhooo...The day started off with some shopping at Sogo...*it's been AGES since my last visit there...close to 10 years or maybe 10 already.* No other choice since we're very early for lunch. Walked and shopped till it was noon and it's time to indulge ourselves with delicious chinese cuisine at Celestial Court, Imperial. Me and mom WALKED there okay....do you know how far it is from where we were?but not gonna be a spoilt brat or somehting to complaint knowing what's gonna come up when we reach Imperial...FULL motivation to walk....lucky thing it wasn't very sunny. Wouldn't wanna reach there sweating like we just ran a marathon, would we?hehe...^^
Something that caught my eyes when i reached...hUgE
The whole setting in Celestial Court was really nice...it is decorated with all the antics and tradisional chinese ornaments and other decorating accessories but it gives the whole modern-chinese feeling to it with the touch of comfy sofas and cushions that are pretty plushy to sit on....nice place to dine in....check it out when you happen to be in Imperials. As for the food....needless to say it was mouth watering....every single dish in the menu not only sounds delicious with all the classic description but it's also very very interesting. Dishes that are cooked with ingredients we didnt know can be mixed together with other stuff to produce a delicious dish. *you'll see further on*
The menu has very nice patterns and cravings that are sew into the cloth. It's no surprise having a headache to choose what you wanna order as you cant order everything in the menu unless you're ready to help them wash the dishes for years or you wanna burn a big whole in your pocket/wallet. Different case if you can afford all of them.... =) Getting so hungry with all the descriptions...i closed my menu and let my mom make the decision on what to order as there are too many things that i would LOVE to try. Besides, how can the two of us finish up so many dishes? at least not for us though we can eat alot...haha.
First dish that came was the tarts *according to them, they only have limited amount per day...so why not try* But turns out...it wasnt exactly the normal taste of tarts...it's mainly filled with custard-egg mixture. So...not really satisfying but still acceptable if you're not hoping too much from the tarts.
Soon after, the second dish came and this time it's the pan fried prawn with cod fish and wrapped together with banana coated with crispy wheatmeal. THIS is the dish that i said it sounded weird....BANANA???with prawn and cod fish fried together?yes....it wasnt very convincing at 1st....was alil reluctant to order it but why not give it a try since they said it's a very famous item in the menu and it's "unique". Well....take this advice...no matter how weird any dish may sound from the description and ingredients, TRY it....cause the Pan Fried Prawn and Cod Fish with Banana turns out DE-LI-CIOUS!!!!it's seriously mouth watering....the 1st bite you take you can taste the freshness in the cod fish and prawns and later a slight sweetness kicks in from the banana and it doesnt have the strong banana smell to it. it was worth the try to order. Plus....the crispy-ness from the outside layer makes it even nicer. Crispy in the outside, soft and mouth watering in the inside.
Thridly, will be the "kun tong kao" also known as doubled boiled clear chicken soup with rich aromatic chinese herbs and boiled together with fresh abalone, scallops, mushrooms, chicken and shark's fin. it's boiled till all the aroma from all the ingredients are out from it's shell and is finished with grates of shark's fin, a whole abalone and scallop and lastly with mushrooms and chicken wrapped in one huge wantan skin. What's more to say about this double-boiled soup???It's HEAVEN!!!!the moment that soup spoon of yours touches your mouth and tongue, you can seriously taste all the aroma and the rich of herbs in it....it's simply AND heavenly delicious....the sweetness that came from all the rich ingredients from boiling are in each and every drip of the soup. *saliva drooling and day dreaming back to yesterday's lunch* I am honestly not exagerating at all....it's all in there...no words can describe the taste further from what i said...not until you try and you can only know it for yourself thanks to your tastebuds. The abalone is juicy and tastes so sweet and tangy in a nice way...and with the scallop...it's all as sweet as the abalone and it's just so nice to chew on....
Our very last dish that we ordered was the steamed bean curd with stuffed prawns and something-delicious-that-i-dont-remember-what-it's-called. It's alil TOO tasty for me (in other words...alil too salty). However, it's still nice excluding the salty-ness cause the bean curd is steamd till the right texture and the ingredients inside are tender, and juicy. so yea...i would say thumbs up for it too...^^b (sorry no pics for this...forgot to capture it). As for this year...i didnt get a birthday cake made by my mom but this time it was bought from Imperials. Well...their cheesecake's pretty good i can say...decorated with deliciously-shined strawberries and chocolates.
After delicious meal, the original plan was to head home to sleep...but unfortunately...turned turned turned and turned also i still couldnt fall asleep but did but only for 30 minutes max?was awaken to shower and head out for another birthday treat but this time with both parents...*dad was busy during the day so couldnt make it for lunch..and joining us for dinner* Went to Jaya One for dinner at a Spanish Restaurant and the ambience was really cool....nice place for chilling and hanging out. Besides, the prices are rather affordable...I wouldnt even say that it's expensive and the food was pretty nice actually...worth going there again and I'll recommend for any of y'all to dine there.
Feeling so guilty, and this is where the night turned all opposite way for my 19th....guilty to make bas wait so long to pick me up again cause my dinner went pretty long...Then, next incident is both me and Bas got lost going to Ju's house cause we took a turning instead of going straight. We have to take the super long way out to get back on track to go to Bukit Jelutong. "that was the longest U-Turn i have ever made!" was what Bas commented when we reached the house. THEN, the third unlucky incident was we were waiting outside of MOS for so long cause we had to wait for Abel *a friend of theirs* to bring us in with the receipt but he was NOWHERE to be found cause he was in the DANCE FLOOR....oh well...staying positive but was alil sleepy already....
However, although there were so many unlucky incident that happened during the night, it wasnt really the wrong choice cause i know it doesnt always happen that way and it was my 1st time going with you guys...so it was worth the try...plus...it wasnt THAT bad till it was a whole regret....cause i didnt regret going. =)
Lastly, the worse thing that has ever happened is that im partially grounded by my dad cause i went home late yesterday....got alil scolding here and there. Speaking of grounded...yea...I am partially now. it's either i dont get to go out at all or I can go out but i have a certain time that i need to be back home already....URGH!!!it's so so frustrating!!I'm 19 already....why am I still grounded though it was only partially grounded....BUT STILL!!!it's still considered as one...!this is my last time to be a teenager and i got grounded the very next day...how great is that???BAH....and Im gonna be graduating next sem...it means that I wont have much time to play as much as I can now....it's gonna be commitment after commitment and MORE commitment cause I'll be working soon...isnt it fair enough for me to even enjoy it now???I'm grown up enough to take care of myself and it's not like I'm going with people whom I dont trust....Plus, isnt it time for us to take our own responsibility on what we do and know what's right and wrong?we should be able to choose the way we wanna do things among ourselves and take the road and be responsible on the path we take....so why cant I????it's so tiring at times you know...I cant be the goody goody girl all the time, can I?it's time that i grow up and take care of own decisions.Sighh....
Before i finish....I just wanna say thanks for all the wishes, presents and surprises from y'all...thanks for calling me no matter if I'm here and you're far off at UK and etc...i enjoyed every single part of the day though there were upS and downS.....that's pretty much what everyone goes through everyday...but Thanks everyone for that special day...*hugs hugs*
Anyway, i better sign off now....got lots to do today to prepare for my relative's visit to KL.will update soon...*next update - outing with Adeline, Bas and Ju.*
Till then...Toodless~!
