a makan good friday

food.....today it is all about food. been a while. and i thought i had lost a few pounds after a good 4km jog yesterday alone accompanied by my mp3 player. sigh...i put on more than i lost, that is for sure.

but back to jogging first, i will have to brave myself more often to go jogging alone. the boys all screamed ,"NO, don't go alone! it is so dangerous!". but those i usually go with are usually not free nowadays and it is difficult to find new kakis to go. hence, the mp3 will be my companion and i have to be disciplined and quickly finish the run.

ok, let's recount what i had today since morning.

breakfast: usual lah, apple and fitline's basics drink.

then carmen put a box of salad on my table. gosh, i was very hungry this morning by 8.30a.m. but the thought of eating cold salad when i was starving was just not apetising enough. so i went down to the canteen and ordered myself a bowl of piping hot curry noodles. aaaaaah....i din care that i have a small ulcer in the mouth, the bowl of curry was damn good!!!

so the salad was kept for lunch.

reached ipoh at 3 plus and went to buy ticket at the cinema. i wanted to watch justin bieber's never say never. serious! i really want to watch that movie. i am curious. don't worry, i am not a fan. however, they only have it in 3D and the ticket is rm20. no way! so i guess my brother will have to download the movie for me. ;) thank you

this is the movie we watched. a dark adaptation of the fairy tale. not bad. i like the soundtrack. i will give it 3/5.

it was time to cari makan in ipoh after that. was craving for lamb chop. must be those examples of food i told the kids to write in essays and lamb chop was one everyone mentioned! haha....i could feel the meat and sauce in my mouth these few days.

so off we went searching for restaurants serving good chops and steaks. got a few recommendations. in the end, we drove to sunway city. passed by this huge limestone hill. it is the one backing tambun lost world and the haven, an expensive and expansive condominium project in ipoh.

so at last we chose this: italia mia at sunway city. look at my car ....so clean after sending it for a wash at jusco car wash. i admit- i am lazy to wash car. the tyre rims were previously covered with a thick layer of grease and dirt......haha..now it is all silverish again.

the simple interior of the restaurant. we were the first to arrive at 7.30p.m. the owner, an italian served us. read this : http://www.j2kfm.com/ipoh-italian-food-italia-mia-ristorante-sunway-city-tambun/ and that is how i get to know a little bit more about the restaurant.

there was no lamb chop on the menu, booohooohoo, they only had rack of lambs. so disappointed. in the end, these are the things we had.
bruschetta. very expensive at 19++ my comments are not as kind as the blog given above. i find the food here only so-so. it was lacking an oooomppph.....it was just mediocre to me and i feel the prices are slightly on the overpriced side.

spaghetti with bacon and anchovies and dunno what. the name is in italian so can't really remember.

pork fillet.

i ordered pork chop. this is better than the fillet because the taste is heavier. but it was nothing special. rm39.

tiramisu for dessert-rm19.95. it is not that bad. not too heavy and just fluffy enough. i don't mind another piece.

our meal came to rm185. we did not order any drink. only had 2 glasses of warm water and an earl grey.

the area is quite quiet and by the time we left at 8.30, around 15 other customers were there. it is closed at 10p.m.

maybe i should try the chicken dishes instead next time like what the blogger, motormouth had. but i doubt i would return. i wanna try other restaurants in ipoh pulak. indulgence is a better experience to me.

from correction fluid, we now have correction tape. and the latest to be introduced in the market is glue roller. how convenient and clean. i love it. no more wet paper and fingers.

a small sharpener for my own use. i love sharpening pencils haha! was hoping to get them in lucky draws, but had no such luck. so i have to fork out my own money in the end lah.
