A Bad Dinner at Hog's Breath

Nothing is worse than having a bad experience at a restaurant/cafe, especially when you are looking forward to a nice dinner celebration..

It was our 2nd time at Hog's breath. We loved the food and great service the 1st time we were there.. Although the food was too pricey, the quality and attentive wait staff compensated for that..

But after today's horrid experience with both the food and service, we are never going back..

The waiter who took our order just simply gave an impression that he did not want to be there..I ordered Salmon, and he said "No more salmon". Could he at least put it more politely?? So I ordered chicken instead.. And Trav ordered the same steak..

We also got a refilliable soft drink at $6.50++ per cup. The ice tea was obviously from FnN, like what we had a nebo, but it was totally diluted. Defninitely intentionally.

The waiter then came to me and said my chicken was not avail.. I was just thinking of walking off already.. then he said "Because we ran out of Avocado" So I told him, just forget about the Avocado. I'll still have the chicken.

Trav's Steak came.. it looked like a dish meant for dogs. The steak had no sauce or garnishing. Even dogs have more presentable food these days! We then realised, we had only knives at the table. We had much difficulty getting the attention of the waiter for our forks. Then, someone brought us 2 bottles of tomato sauce to go with our food.. Wow...generous..

Lucily my chicken breast was forgiving.

We spent almost 5 minutes trying to get someone to bring us the bill. Frustrated, we went straight to the POS and asked for the bill.

$80 bucks spent on shitty service and shitty doggy food. What a let down..
We left with dampened moods..

Marche would have been a happier place for us.. WTH...

Finally, a weekend away from work

Left for Genting with my family and a few other condo neighbors on Friday. The trip was extra enjoyable cos the bus came over to our condo to pick us up, and the entire bus was with pple we knew and lived with..

The bus was like a plane cabin.. the seats made the journey so much more bearable.. The seat had a massage function, adjustable leg rest and seat incline function. It was so comfortable to sleep on, with leg room so adequate, I could stretch my legs out and still not hit the chair in front.

And there were games and movies to kill time.. Lunch was at one of the many food outlets within Genting..Mummy looked so happy when her food came.. and my quarter steamed chicken looked more like half a chicken..

Dinner was at the Mushroom farm, a few metres below the resort.. It was a Friday nite, and the place was packed. Table after table, it filled up immediately after they cleared it, and we had to wait despite having made a reservation.

The food there was dirt cheap. A meal for 14 costed only RM270..We had frog leg, a whole steamed fish.. and loads of other dishes..

If only nEbO could be like this every weekend..

Went in to the Casino for the 1st time since I turned 21. Had my IC checked everytime I went in..

it is a good thing...

It was fun learning about the table games and playing them for fun with daddy and my brother.. our stakes were low, considering that there were people betting thousands at a time..

Spending time in there felt like there was no recession..

My brother brought us around KL the next day.. KL is his 2nd home town.. We had breakfast at a really nice place.. and that was where I spotted a hotel, named after me...

And there was a toilet at the mall we had our Tim Sum breakfast at..

To have water from the tap, you have to spin the wheel.. took us some pushing, pressing and all before we figured out how it worked..

It was a great cardio workout walking from mall to mall.. didnt really get a lot tho.. The only great buy was probably my Freshkon contact lens. They cost $38 a pair in Spore, but in Msia, just RM50, which is $21!!

By evening on the 2nd day, I was too tired to take any photos.. The after effect of spending too much time at the casino, which led to too much cigarette smoke inhalation, a lack of beauty sleep, and walking and shopping for half a day in KL.. zzzz

Bali's next..

Wierd dreams, millipede, and the gym moron

Feeling kinda "off" today.. had dreaded my lesson in the evening and the day felt like a week...

Had an exciting week.. played Left 4 Dead, had a wierd dream after that, killed a millipede, and met a gym MORON..

The night after my 1st attempt at left 4 dead, dreamt that a policeman ran into the car, sat on Trav's laps and told him to drive... he said "go go go go!! " And before that, Jason and Trav ran in and out of the car.. and there was a wierd guy who Ran towards the car when I was alone in it, and hit the wing mirror, and then ran off again..

Wierd..

And there was a gym Moron.. Who came into the gym acting macho,then tried to start the Treadmill with the Stop button. And when it did not start,he pressed the Emergency Button. When he ran, he took such small steps, he looked like a Hamster.

Did I ever mention? Such is one of my greatest pet peeves..
Worse of all, he peeped at my speed and matched it. Then stopped after a while..
And when I started walking on the Tmill, he copied it. And walked like a moron.

I am dreading tmr and Thursday.. so many lessons to teach.. Cant wait for the weekend.. be heading to Genting and KL. Already have my list of "to buys" prepared!!!

The most expensive meal I've eva had

Trav dearee and I celebrated his Bdae at The Line. Since he loved food, it was natural that he wanted a buffet dinner and enjoyed it to the core that day..

The spread was wide.. Loads of seafood, a very sinful selection of dessert..

Argh and Ive been pigging quite a bit lately.. and been veryvery lazy... ok eunf of bimbotic talk..

Our lil corner

Recently converted a lil corner at our nEbO Cafe Show and Sell area.. Hopefully this small lil corner can turn into a boutique someday..

(Visit the cafe at AMK Hub, 4th Level. Great food and pretty pieces! )

When Nette was sick.. for more than a week

She wondered often when she could recover and go have a good work out again.
She sniffed and sounded wierd when talking to her students
She blew her nose so hard, she turned half deaf
She coughed so hard, it felt like an abs workout.
She regretted training her abs, cos it ached soo much after that when she coughed.
She had to take a super sweet,sugary, black syrup before bed. That sumthing sumthing pipagao
she had to miss clubbing and Trav dear had to miss it too.. on his birthday..
The tissue box was her best friend.
She had to sleep with her mouth open, when her nose was blocked. But she did not know how to keep her mouth open when she slept..
She rested and did not work out for many days..
She felt loved and was well taken care of by Trav dearee..
Falling ill wasnt all that bad..

When the lappy is down...

Nette has to use her old fogey Toshiba lappie.
Nette had to borrow Tristan's hard disk drive to save all the impt things from the lappy before sending it for repair
Nette is unable to resize the photos from her camera, cos this lappie does not have that function
Nette is unable to post pics on her blog
Nette CANNOT loggin to MSN, despite downloading the newest, latest version, and having another very old version in the old fogey. She is fed up cos she tried but could not find out why this had happened
Nette has to patiently wait for internet explorer to open.

Nette is super annoyed. and cant wait for her lappie to be back. Oh how she wished her work and life did not rely soo much on a lappie. Ugh..
