Next week, the three McDonald’s restaurants in Reykjavik, Iceland, will be close for good.

The collapse of the Iceland’s krona currency has forced McDonald to take the big bite out of the country. It’s a big loss to the fast food lovers in that country… especially to the BigMac lovers… 😛

It must be hard to imagine… a place without McDonald!!! 🙁

Health conscious group must be laughing their head’s off after receiving the good news… 😛 They will be happy that there will be no more overweight people in their country… but more skinny people… and it’s going to be a bad business for those who are doing sliming products business in Iceland… there is no use to advertise slimming product in Iceland anymore… no use to pop-up ‘click here for weight loss pills’ advertisement in their internet browser from now on… 😛

Good luck to Icelanders without Big Mac… and Icelanders please say good bye to McDonald… 😛

Hahaha… instead of going for Japanese food just now, five of us went to Krishna Fish Head Curry House at Millennium Garden next to Penampang Bypass road 😀

Fish head curry 😀

But I was also here two days ago… gosh… my tummy are full of curry now 😛 and its getting bigger and bigger… o_O

Some suggested to me to take Avesil… they said it will reduce my appetite and at the same time burn some of my fat while boosting my energy… ya… ya… ya… I don’t take drugs OK… and I also try not to take any medication… this is not sickness… I just need more exercise while still having loads of foods 😀 And someone suggest garter belt… what the heck is garter belt?… I hope it is not a kinky belt… 😛

Fried quail or burung puyu.

And because we took so much time eating, I have to reschedule my appointment… the appointment has already been postponed from this morning to this evening… but because of the extra lunch time, I have to shift it 30 minutes more for this evening… 😀 Lucky she did not mind me shifting the appointment 😀 When I reach office, she already waiting for me… 😛

Rice and vegetables on banana leaf… please do not eat the banana leaf, it is not salad!

And to whom it may concern… yes I will pay ‘the photo’ royalty… 😆 … only if I post your tummy photo… hahahaha…

Teh tarik and cendol.

Our group trip to Salut Seafood Restaurant on the 4 August 2009 was very exciting… There are about 15 of us… and with only 3 ladies 😛

We started our journey around 11am in few cars… in my car was Ahaz and Mike. Four cars started from Karamunsing and the rest are from donno where… 😛

We reach Salut around 12:35pm… lol that was a very slow journey… but we were snapping photos along the way but unfortunately the weather was too hazy… the rain are gone and now we are full with haze… since the past 3 days!!!

The first thing we did was to get good table location in the floating restaurant… yes the restaurant is floating on the sea 😛

We took the corner of the restaurant where there is a power outlet. The second thing was to setup the WiFi for our LAN party.

Third is to wait for the rest to arrive and to order the food 😀 We had lots of prawns, the favorites dish… steam and fried with butter… steamed fishes… clamps, not sure what type… rice… and some more dishes which I don’t know the name coz I was not involved in ordering the foods… I was only busy taking photos 😛

When the foods arrived, everyone swam into the dishes… it was like 1.40pm already… everyone was hungry like mad buffalo or kalabau… 😛

I guess some should have taken appetite suppressant before they came here coz I believe some of the dishes did not reach us… those sitting at the other end of the long table… 😛 But we still had enough to make us all full 😀

We did not bother with electronic gears the moment the food arrive… the AP, cables, power adapters, notebooks etc… coz the foods and our gadgets were almost mixed together on the same table…

While I was washing my hand after my food, suddenly a Happy Birthday song was played in the restaurant… I thought one of the tables is having a birthday party… maybe the Japanese or Korean table, Ahaz said they are Korean, ok 😀

The washing sink was near the Korean’s table. Then the Koreans are looking and pointing at me, and clapping… I look at our table and everyone was singing and looking at me… holy crap… you all really made the BIG surprise!!! I never thought you all plan for this… my birthday is 2 days away lah… and all of you were talking like having something on the day itself… on the 6 August and not on the 4 August… 6 August is our GI Joe outing bah… GI Joe screening on my birthday… yuhoooo…

Anyway, THANKS guys and gals… love the Secret Recipes’ Chocolate Cake… if I knew someone brought Chocolate Cake, I would have not whack the prawns… 😛

I will make the photo album of the trip soon… 😀

But for now… take a look at the pictures 😀 … . . . Continue Reading »
