First of all, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO YOU! 恭喜发财各位！ 愿你事事顺利， 万事如意！
We had our office Annual Dinner two weeks before Lunar New Year. Grateful that the program went well, and I guess most of them had a great time with the delicious menu by Silk Garden. Most of all, thanks to Michael who I have been bugging for few times just to make sure everything in order, he does help a lot and try to make sure those I details I have requested can be done.
- Table setting -
- Yee Sang -
Brought in Pick N Pay Yee Sang due to the delayed imported Yee Sang by Silk Garden. I try to make sure there's tossing Yee Sang session to ensure the mixture of culture in the themed Annual Dinner this year. Some of them never try Yee Sang before, which is also good for them to know a bit of the Chinese tradition as well.
- Macarons by Deli Bites -
A snacks before dinner. The ladies sure love it! And I felt happy with the planned details. :)
- The Starter : Dim Sum platter -
- Prawn Salad with Honeydew -
The fact is I LOVE THIS DISH!!! Prawn was huge and just delicious.
- The dessert : Glutinous Rice Ball with peanuts -
Those are few of the dishes we had, and all are more than enough for 50+ of us. Glad that most planned programs went well and I felt relief after the whole event ended. I'm well rested.
- My Colleague and Trainee -
- Invitation Card with Lucky No -
Well, it was my first time to handle such a big group of people for Annual Dinner assigned to me this year. It was a luck that people I met was helpful. :)
An opportunity to have tossing Yee Sang session with international hotel and well known local store this year. Thanks to Hyatt Regency Kinabalu and Pick N Pay Malaysia for having all of us! We had a lot of time catch up with each other.
Yee Sang used to be traditionally served on the 7th day of the lunar New Year but these days, it’s common to have this dish anytime during the 15 days of celebration and before lunar New Year as well! Just check with the local stores and hotels in Kota Kinabalu for availability.
- Pick N Pay Prosperity Yee Sang -
In fact, I think this year would be a year that I had several times of
tossing with my family, friends and colleagues! I do love tossing Yee
Sang, where the colours that made of various vegetables and snacks just
made Yee Sang an auspicious and meaningful part of Chinese New Year!
And of course, the taste of Yee Sang need to be delicious and raw fish
need to be fresh too!
Lou ah!!! 捞呀！We had awesome tossing time with Pick N Pay Malaysia

It wasn't enough for us to explore Bangkok for only 5 days, 4 nights during December last year. So many things to see and non the less, I love the food there! Planning to go there again and flight was bought sometime middle of this month!
Well, I have compiled herewith the list of destinations I went and it might be useful for a first timer as well. :)
- Go LOCAL -
Learn a few simple Thai language, it might help when you felt lost. We stay at Legacy Express which the nearest to Phloen Chit BTS Sky Train Route, with the Sky Train service, our trip would be so easy to plan!
Touched down Bangkok at Don Mueng airport, that's our FIRST NIGHT. From airport to our hotel might took a short while due to the congested traffic, the first night dinner was went to the local open food court located next to our hotel for Thai dinner. Preparation was quite clean and portion was enough for everyone, their food did not messed up our tummy.
There are a list of food and beverages that I wanted to taste, but only few that I could. Tried Thai Coca Cola in Thailand. :) Had their famous Pad Thai, a local delicacy also known as fried noodle in local languange. Tom Yum et cetera...
- Explore Nearby -
THE SECOND DAY
During December and it's the King Birthday on the 5th December, majority Thai citizen will wear yellow, as Yellow is the favourite colour of their King and the street will be walking with yellow attires and decorated with yellow for the whole month.
Instead of waiting the time to pass, we woke up earlier to explore the nearby/ local lifestyle near to our hotel. Local food stalls selling interesting and delicious local delicacies that we can't resist. We did saw monks as well, where the local did their offering to the monks and the monks blessed them in return.
- BTS Sky Train Route -
Bangkok is easy to visit and did I tell you that Bangkok is quite safe as well? Price are reasonable, and it is also that we went to the correct place and meet the correct person. Non matter the place is safe, we need to be aware as well.
- Four Faced Buddha -
We went to the Buddha which located at the crossroad, the one that exploded sometime last year. Felt like magic when we were there. We did pray and if we happened to promise the Buddha that we will give our offering in return when the wishes is granted, kid you not! KEEP YOUR WORDS to visit the Buddha soon.
Interesting street food that we had when we were walking to Platinum Mall from the other side.
Dad couldn't resist FOOD. HAHA!
- Platinum Fashion Mall -
There are many that says Platinum Mall is a MUST GO spot for fashion lovers and those who might thinking of purchasing in BULK. There are few blocks of buildings for shopping at one shot, as for us, too many things to see and that's made us stop continuing.
I bought two pieces of tops, souvenirs and few pairs of fashion earrings. Earrings are cheap and pretty!
We also went to their food court at 6th Floor, which many recommended us that there are varieties of delicious menu available.
We had a walk at Siam Square area, beautiful designs and crowded with the locals and tourists. When we were at Bangkok in December, we saw thousand of elephants in sculpture, an event was held around Thailand. #SiamParagon #deeds (#journeyof999elephants which held at #CentralWorld)
- Dinner at Zen Japanese Restaurant, Siam Center -
Reasonable priced as compared with us in Malaysia. Fresh and delicious, it was one of the best Japanese cuisine I had.
That's how we complete our Second day!
- Damnoen Saduak Floating Market -
THE THIRD DAY
Road trip from our hotel to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Few hours of ride and finally we arrived at the original/ oldest floating market of Thailand. Beautiful from the photos and I will say that it should be the first and the last floating market that I might want to visit.
The souvenirs that they were selling, could be found else where in Thailand with cheaper price. The interesting part was seeing them selling hot boiled food on their boat. Amazing.
While we were on our way back to our hotel from Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, we went for a walk at the railway area which it was once an active transportation railway. Currently the local has converted it into a market selling daily materials.
This kind of scenic visiting, might not suitable for "SHOPPING KAKI".
- Central World -
Every mall has their unique and specialty, I love the fact that Central World has all that I need. :) It was the last month of the year and every where just happening!
- The Tourist Pose -
Same goes to McDonald, they have designed Ronald with Thai pose of "Sawadeekap" (Female : Sawadeeka). I wanted to do this for such a long time! Hah!
Unfortunately, our tummy were to full to fill up with Charcoal Burger while Snoopy was around. :( Bangkok has varieties of good meals.
- Tuk Tuk -
I never dream that I could hop into Tuk Tuk from one place to another. We took Tuk Tuk from Central World back to our hotel. Gosh! The ride was rough and extremely speedy. Imagine that fruits that were almost flew off from Mr. Hubs Tuk Tuk!
The cab fares were slaughtering the tourists I should say, my cousin who works in Bangkok help us a lot with conversation via local language with all the drivers. Instead of going back with cabs, we took Tuk Tuk which slightly cheaper at that tourist area.
- Chatucak Weekend Market -
THE FOURTH DAY
From Phloen Chit, we took Sky Bus to Chatucak. Chatucak Weekend Market is the largest market in Thailand.
Once only popular among wholesalers and traders, Chatuchak Weekend
Market has reached a landmark status as a must-visit place for tourists.
Its sheer size and diverse collections of merchandise will bring any
seasoned shoppers to their knees – this is where you can literally shop
‘till you drop’. The 35-acre (68-rai) area of Chatuchak is home
to more than 8,000 market stalls. On a typical weekend, more than
200,000 visitors come here to sift through the goods on offer. Veteran
shoppers would agree that just about everything is on sale here,
although not all at the best bargain rates. But if you have one weekend
in Bangkok, squeeze in a day trip to Chatuchak Weekend Market and you
will not be disappointed. - Bangkok
- Coconut Ice Cream -
Coconut Ice Cream is one of my MUST EAT list! Spotted at Chaktucak Weekend Market. I like it without the sticky rice!
Had a walk at Chatucak Weekend Market, there were so many things to see and buy. If we have the time, it would take us whole day just for food and worthy buys!
I heard that the market at China Town would be one of the destination I might like, I guess it will be in my list for next visit. :)
- The Temple of Dawn : Wat Arun -
Arriving Central Pier, Sathorn (Taksin), we bought our Tourist Boat tickets with 40 baht each person and went for a cruise tour at Chao Phraya River. Simply to Tha Tien if I'm not wrong and bought another ticket to go to the opposite where Wat Arun is located.
Well known for its beautiful scenery of sunset. Unfortunately, Wat Arun was under renovation when we were there. We did enter the compound, however we only can see Wat Arun as it is. I'm wondering were they preparing for the new year celebration later (after I saw the images of new year celebration at Temple of Dawn).
Photos of Temple of Dawn was beautifully crafted and define.
- Pad Thai -
We ended our evening with visiting to Temple of Dawn and dinner at the first night open food court next to our hotel again! We used all our balance on the Thai dinner we had! Such a feast we had before we we flew back to Malaysia on the next morning (The Fifth Day)!
Thanks to Mr. Lee, my mom friend who planned the whole trip for us!
That's all and till I posted my Bangkok trip in details!
More than 1,000 of outlets were opened in Korea and now, it has becomes the first (No. 1) franchise brand in Korea.
In Malaysia, a total of 16 outlets was opened, and good news for us in Kota Kinabalu that, there are two BBQ Chicken Restaurant outlets available namely, Suria Sabah and Imago Mall.
来自韩国的第一品牌连锁店！ 如果你喜欢炸鸡的， 可以考虑来这里试试他们家各种各样的辣子鸡。
- BBQ Chicken -
People has been wondering about BBQ Chicken Restaurant in town. Just like them, I was the same as well, thought that "BBQ" was short form of "Barbecue", in fact, it represent Best of the Best Quality.
Instead of a commercial type of design, they opt for a cozy environment for friends and family or a simply dine in for business purpose. There were guests who celebrate their birthday there as well. :)
舒服的室内设计， 让客人感觉温馨。
- Sous Vide Chicken Salad -
I would recommend their Sous Vide Chicken Salad to those who would like to eat clean and light. The special sauce they used as topping was something different. Portion was huge! It was my first to taste Vegetable salad with orange.
以下是我们的晚餐！ 好丰富吧！
- Kimchi Deopbap -
A quick dining meal that I would have ordered. All in one bowl and add one with a glass of beverage.
Kimchi, rice and meat.
很简单， 又方便的选择。蔬菜与肉类都在碗里。
- Golden Olive Fried Chicken -
Look just the same as the one that we all of us knew. Crispy at the outside, juicy inside.
炸鸡好像那个出名的牌子。 试了还不错， 肉也不会干。
- Top : Combo 3 (Paris [Non Spicy] and Kanjang [Spicy]) and Bottom : Gangjeong Chicken -
I love Gangjeong Chicken, simply that it was spicy with hints of peanuts topping. A recommended dish for spicy lovers.
- Top : Kimchijeon and Bottom : Pane Mushroom Soup -
My favourite Mushroom Soup! Bread was crunchy and nicely brownish baked. Mushroom was finely blended and this made such a filling mushroom soup. Tasty.
Did I told you that the menu in Malaysia by BBQ Chicken was localised to suit the local taste? A research group was professionally gathered just to maximize the customers satisfaction. Go and try!
It was a fine weekend when we went for Korean desserts. Good to know that there are so many new concept cafes here in Kota Kinabalu lately.
- Caffe Bene -
位于新开的 Imago 广场。 这家 Caffe Bene 也是东马的第一家 Caffe Bene 连锁店。 我们有口福哦！
Caffe Bene located at Imago Mall KK Times Square is the first East Malaysia outlet, mainly serving Korean Bingsu (Ice Blended with savory ingredients), coffees, gelato, breads and waffles!
It is not easy to search for delicious waffles here and glad to say waffles by Caffe Bene is chewy with bits of crunchines in it! Topped with gelato/ ice cream, nuts and others, made it special.
- Bingsu -
每一样冰沙都有它的独特味道。 虽然是小码， 但是可以足够两人份哦！大码足够一班朋友试试他家的冰沙。
- 奶酪和蒜蓉面包和焦糖肉桂面包 -
- Cheese and Garlic Bread and Caramel Cinnamon Bread -
香香的葱蓉味面包是我会选择的美食之一， 配上一杯咖啡， 下午茶就搞定啦！
I have to say this, I always opt for coffee or desserts with caramel sauce! The taste of garlic was fine. A good selection during afternoon tea or snack.
- Choco Nuts Waffles -
- Choco Nuts Waffle -
- Green Tea Affogato -
我蛮喜欢他家的绿茶冰淇淋， 好香， 味道也很好吃， 很滑哦！
With selection of Green Tea, Vanilla and Cream Cheese ice cream. We had Green Tea and truly, their Green Tea ice cream was good! The smell just stay and melted in our mouth.
