Lim Mee Yoke, Cheow Yong, SS2

Last Tuesday I went to Lim Mee Yoke in Taman Cheow Yong, SS2 for dinner after work with a few friends of mine. It's been quite sometime I didn't have old friends gathering like this.

Don't pray pray, now it's Restoran Mee Yoke Lim Sdn Bhd

Not very often I come to this restaurant. Usually will eat in Section 17 or restaurant near my place in Taman Sri Sinar. Even if I come here, it will be Kayu behind it for Nasi Kandar. It is my friends' first time here, and they ask me what's good. I'm not very sure what's good here too but when it comes to Lim Mee Yoke, then the prawn mee here must be good.

My prawn me with added pork intestine

So, the four of us ordered prawn mee but I added pork intestine to put in more kick. Normal big bowl is RM 4.80 and add in pork intestine add RM 1, which make my bowl of prawn mee cost RM 5.80. True to it's name, Lim Mee Yoke really does serve up a good bowl of prawn mee with the soup full of prawn flavour. It's comparable to the normal hokkien mee (prawn mee) that you find in Penang. The pork intestine is cook up just right and you don't find the funny smell in it that you usually finds if it is not washed properly. One thing I don't favour though, is the amount of MSG in the soup. Damn thirsty wei after eating this. Good alternative for us that can't go to Penang.

Rating: 3.8/5

Mantra Grilled Stingray

A bowl of prawn mee mana lah cukup for four guys like us. I remember I read from KampungBoyCityGal that the grill fish here is good. So, we ordered a grilled stingray for 4. True to their review, this grilled stingray is absolutely marvelous. All my friends find it tasty. The sauce they used is not the hot & spicy type but is rather fragrant & spicy. The vegetable that comes with it is not over cook. Remember to dip the grilled fish in the special sauce provided before you eat it. Absolutely love the sauce. Lime, chili and fresh onion I think, looks like what they use to make 'cincaluk'.

Rating: 4/5

After our meal, we have two big bottles of Carlsberg to wash down our meal. It's been a long time never have beer with friends. Usually only teh tarik in mamak. Good or bad food, cheap or expensive food it is more fun eating with your friends and family.

Hennesy Artistry @ Zouk, KL

Let's see, when was the last time I went clubbing. If I remember correctly it is the launching of EA's City Glam Perfume in Passion two years ago. That time I was still in my previous company.

Drinking loads of FREE beer in Passion

I seldom go clubbing nowadays due to a few reasons:

i) I don't know how to dance to trance music
ii) Cover charge is more expensive
iii) If I bring chicks to club, I'll have to pay for them too (I'm very poor ga)
iv) I go clubbing almost twice every week when I was 20 to 23 year old, kinda sick of it already

So, I've never been to Zouk before when it opened until now. Last Friday, I got the chance to go clubbing in Zouk because I got 2 VIP passes for Hennessy Artistry event there. It comes with FREE booze. I invited Chris, PS, and Victoria because one pass can bring in two person.

Me, PS, and Victoria arrived quite early. After registering ourself, we just stand at the entrance and wait. So, I took the chance to take some pictures.

Red is my lucky colour

DJ? Nah

DJs of the night

My dates of the night, PS and Victoria

Before we go in to the club, the three of us were asked to stand in front of a board with Hennesy logo to have pictures be taken by ~~100~~ 4 cameramen from different magazine, felt like a celebrity wtf.

As I am so damn kiasu and came very early, we get to have a table of our own with a bottle of Hennessy on it. Woot.

The boozes

There's a ginger ale mixer that we can mix with Hennessy, I tell you it's damn good. We were also serve with cocktails made from Hennessy mix. Hence the event of the night, Hennessy Artistry is about mixing cocktails using Hennessy. I tried Hennessy Miami (Hennessy + lime juice + simple syrup + fresh mint leaves), which is a bit sourish, much like Long Island Tea concoction. The Hennessy content is very strong in this cocktail. A glass of it made me so happy. You can get the full list of Hennessy cocktails here.

5 minutes after we settled down, I saw a familiar gorgeous red hair came into the VIP area but I don't dare to go and say hi, still sober mah. 10 more minutes later, I saw Michelle and Yatz came into the VIP area. They went to sit in the table reserved for bloggers. My table is an open table hence anyone in the VIP area can take. More booze mah like that wtf.

Yatz

Michelle still sober, an hour later she is so plastered that Yatz took some very plastered look pictures of her that is so funny.

Chris came at around 10pm.

Half an hour later, I went to the toilet to take a leak and when I was walking back to my table I bumped into a Red Hot ~~Chili Pepper~~ Fireangel. Wow, she's so hot that night, can die one yo! You have to be there to see how she dance. I dare say I'm not too bad myself in term of dancing.

Me and FA saying Hi!

If Fireangel is here, which means KY and Suanie has also arrived. Which is true, when I got back to my table I saw KY ~~buayaing~~ talking to PS and Victoria. Chris told me that KY knew my invited guest long before tonight. KY told me he saw the guest list a few days ago. So powderful, can get his hand on the guest list before hand.

PS, Victoria, KY, me and Chris

Me, Rachel & Suanie

Kimberly weren't able to make it to the Nuffnang Pajama Party, and I missed a chance to take a photo with her. That night she was here too and bloody KY have to spoiled the photos by posing behind us -______________-

Me and Kimberly with bloody KY behind us

Remember, the gorgeous red hair I mentioned earlier? I bumped into her on my way to the dance floor, while she's making her way back into the VIP area. This time I am ~~high~~ brave enough to say hi and ask to take a photo with her.

Ah, the gorgeous red hair, she's always there when there's an event like this.

I made my way to the dance floor and dance to the music sang by DJ Keri the only singing DJ that night, one of the three guest DJs for the night. I danced to about 4 songs and I started to sweat profusely. So, I have to go back to the table and take a rest. Must be the lack of exercise.

Polaroid took by Hennessy girl at the entrance

KY brought FA to our table and introduced her to PS, Victoria and Chris. As if she needed introduction. FA was so hot that night that a lot of guys wanted to dance with her. I can't even come close to her at the dance floor wtf. She seems so happy that night, might be high from booze or happy because she's quit from her boring routine 9 to 5 job already.

Okinawa Rendez-vous

The tounge pose, 1 finger pose and 3 fingers pose

We left at about 1 am and went to have supper in SS2 Mamak. The gang that were there for the supper are me, PS, Victoria, Chris, KY, Suanie, Kimberly, Shaolin Tiger and Yatz.
