Split Gill Mushroom - first try
+Kenneth Loke spotted this for the first time at Jaya Grocer @ Citrine today. Decided to buy a bag to try. Pan roasted with garlic and butter, toss in with baby spinach & cherry tomatoes.

The mushroom tasted woody and dry in this recipe. We decided to just finish the baby spinach and tomatoes in this bowl, and left the mushroom out.

Hubby didn't give up. He decided to try another method of cooking using the leftover mushroom in this bowl.

First, he trimmed the stem away from these mushroom. Slow boil with water, mirin, bonito flakes, cooking sake, shoyu, rice vinegar & sugar. Pretty much all the Japanese common Japanese condiments I have in my cabinet.

Boil some bulgur wheat, set aside. Diced some tomato & cucumber. Toss everything together, including the water that was used to boil the mushroom.

Spicy Sour Vegetable Soup

Bought a pack of ready to eat spicy sour vegetable soup at Jaya Grocer, too. Not too bad. More of me hubby's taste, a tad too sour for my liking.



This brownie was what I've asked for dinner tonight whilst we were at the market. Hubby decided to add on the spicy soup and mushroom salad for me, too. Buuuuuurp!

First off day of the week, we are going to visit +Kenneth Loke's uncle who was just recently transferred from General Hospital to a private ward in Gleneagles Medini.

It has been scorching hot for the passed few days in JHB. You can't quite leave the comfort of your AC dwelling without a good sunscreen, sunnies & load of cold drinks in hand.

Getting to the entrance of this hospital is pretty confusing. Once you're in this area, your GPS or mobile data will be weaken. Blocking of roads on random basis around here are not helping either. Deeming us that round-about driving necessary just to find the correct entrance.

Do be careful when you're driving in this part of the State. Many drivers here took for granted of its low volume of road users in this newly developed town to drive without much care or awareness;  driving in opposite direction of the road, high speed at traffic lights since most of the lights are not working properly.

Next stop, lunch! I was thinking of having a quick, light lunch in the hospital - o'Brien Sandwich. It's Sunday, every shops and administration are closed. Just like their clinics!

Decided to check out Puteri Harbour, since we haven't been back there for almost 2 years. It was pretty empty then.

The car park here is definitely better now. Since the trees have grown quite a bit, cars parked are well-shaded.

Quite a bit of visitors today. There are definitely more shops and eateries here compared to the last time I was here. It was drizzling by the time we've parked our car and walked here.

This is the 3rd time I'm here, on these 3 visits, the weather was sunny-drizzling-passing shower! Three strikes!

A brief walk to check out all the outlets here, we've decided to have our lunch at New Zealand Unlimited. It was a mistake. The wait was super long! Taste-wise, OK. Price wise, tourist rates.

Not impressed by its Sunday Roast
+Kenneth Loke took the Sunday Roast whilst I went mostly for the snacks & soup. We usually have Sunday Roast at home. Haven't done that for a while since I'm steering towards pescatarian. Also, +Kenneth Loke hardly has his off days since he started his new job in Singapore.

This place is better suited for drink'n'chill session with an optional bites. If you want to have a serious dining session, Sunday noon might not be such a great idea. Under-staffed in the kitchen(?). You'll need to wait super long for your main to be served.

180318 A long wait for our lunch at New Zealand Unlimited - Spherical Image - RICOH THETA

We had so much time in hand whilst waiting for any food to be served, I've taken quite an unusual amount of photos here. You know I'm pretty bored when I have more photos taken.

I'm just going to post a few here, though. So, below are our orders for the day. Took almost 2 hours for the wait & eating.

Liquid Diet?

Crab Claw RM8.90

Spicy Mussels

Seafood Chowder

Sunday Roast

The sauce for his Sunday Roast is well-made. If you don't mind the wait - unsure if serving is faster at other time - the taste of their food are actually decent for local standard.

The moment +Kenneth Loke is done with his main, I immediately request for our bill. Billing is pretty swift. Phew. The floor crews are ample, guess the kitchen is the only department lacks in manpower.

Going to check out the Hello Kitty retail shop above this restaurant now! Bought a rear view mirror for our car! SWEET!



SWEET!

Next stop, our favourite grocer back in K.L, which recently has a branch in Johor!

I want, but I shouldn't. Will save it when I'm in Japan for it. It's not that far from where we are now, too. So, no excuse not to visit there more!



When we arrived at Citrine Iskandar, we almost immediately started checking the rental availability next to this building! I like how I can just walk down from my abode, I'll get to my favourite grocer, 7-Eleven, Mr DIY, Old Town Coffee café, pharmacy.... I'm sorted!

Only downside, the mobile data and reception is almost NIL here! Sigh.

Almost time to go home for our furkids' duty - dinner time. We've decided to make brownies for dinner. Teehee.

Tatiana loves being hugged & carried around after her breakfast. This morning, she wants me to bring her go check out the kitten cries we've heard earlier.


My precious, precious li'angel. Losing her patience a little when I paused to take photos with her. Time for a little playtime.





Papa Bear is all awake now and giving Tatiana her morning chin/head scritchy. What a darling duo.


It's Mama and Papa Neko now. Teehee.

Oops

Ocha is not much of a jumper/climber. Her physical shape limits her agility to do that, compared to other cats in this household. Also, she wasn't a big fan of high places since young.

Imagine my surprise when I walked into this sight. She seemed surprised, too. Teehee. My little apple Ocha.

Yummy treats!

This brand of cat treats can be found in Malaysia these days. Can be found at almost every mart and supermarket in Japan for much cheaper price, of course 🤑

Holding on to her new piggy soft toy!

I like the range of cat toys from KOJIMA! Especially their range of soft toys. I need to make sure there is no loose parts on these type of toys in case my cat swallows it. Also, I'm quite particular about the type of fabric used. Fur-less, tough and easily wash/dry.

You can purchase KOJIMA range of cat toys from ezbuy if you're in Malaysia/Singapore for much lesser than local seller.

Visiting my mom after an errand nearby. Spent almost 2 hours nearby KB and didn't even realise he was nicely wrapped in the basket!

I thought he was still taking his nap in Celine's bedroom.

Come 'ere, Ma!

This is how my big boy Kohi asks for head-scritchy and morning cuddles 😳 Gladly oblige, my Prince!

Like this, like this, ya?

No worries. Me know just how my li'Prince would like it 🤗 'ang on!

You may begin!

Letting my Kohi sleeps in a little longer on our bed this morning. It's his hooman Papa Bear's 🐻 off day today. Everyone, except me, gets to sleep in till late. Hurhurhur.

And that's how you keep your bicycle safer when you parked it outdoor. Johor Bahru, the whole of Malaysia, actually, is not safe. Of course, where there is human, there will be crime. The difference is the level of counts.

Pushing my long drive to get my laptop keyboard repairs to later time of the day. It's Monday, it's raining, it's (traffic) congestion.

Going back for home breakfast and daily cleaning after dropping my hubby to work. By then, I'll be able to avoid the peak hours!

The birthday bird!

Here to catch up with Audrey whilst she set to meet the others. We were all from the same high school! Some goes way back to primary, kindergarten and even nursery!

Blocking the AC from blowing out the candles!
They have already started the gathering since 19:00H. I've already informed Audrey I'll be arriving after 21:30H. What I didn't expect was the traffic congestion, even at that time, due to school holidays!


Wish-making done!!

Truth be told, I'm not familiar with Chin Chin at all! I do see her photos often taken with this group 😉 prior to this.

Time to prep the cake!

Chin Chin is the youngest in the group; by years! That's very sweet of these seniors of hers.

The first cut 

Posing for that first cut of the birthday cake whilst everyone is trying to take a pic with their moby 😬

Kohi and Purin have been the closest siblings since birth 😇 After some kisses and head-bumps, playtime!


Wrestlemania!

Even when they play really rough, they hardly hiss or growl at each other! Unless Purin is tired when Kohi is  in his rare mood to play.

Kohi: Papa wants head-bump?

Playtime was cut when us hoomans are nearby. Maybe that's why Kohi prefers to play after midnight when we are ready for bedtime 😕


Kohi: Guess not!

Poor thang 😧 Papa Bear is ignoring him! He's too engrossed with his drama-time on telly.
