yee sang and pizza

hare-py wabbit year everyone! yes yes, i know we all just dread leaving the holidays behind and dragging our lazy feet (and now big bellies) back to the office.

but hey, a whole new year means a fresh new start.

so this year, i'm throwing mr negativity out the window and letting ms positivity hop into my live.

for a start would be the all too familiar tradition of lou sang.

i look at this plate of yee sang as a 'mobile wishing well'.

how else can people expect to get a damn good bonus or triple promotion or a handsome boyfriend or a rich husband or even a cute baby, if they hadn't succumb to the temptation of using a pair of chopsticks and tossing the stuff on the plate? the higher the better they say. but then, the higher the more wastage as they'll just end up spilled onto the table. and probably not a good idea to lou sang with colleagues in the same department as you. coz can't possibly be promoting every single person in the department, right?

(lol...juz kidding)

i had lost count on the number of lou sangs i had (possibly 6), moreso on the number of wishes i made. most of the time, i was more engrossed with other people shouting out their wishes during the tossing ceremony. ;p



super sedap yee sang fr bunga raya food court in melaka has lots of juicy pomelo bits and fragrant coriander



another platter of happiness that you might have come across this cny is this fortune-coin-shaped pizza being sold in a particular fast-food chain of restaurants.

on paper, it shows this really tempting, mouth-watering golden colored pizza with lots of crispy cornflakes coating the sides and with bright-colored toppings, all fit for an auspicious chinese new year.

agree with me, right?

now, you'll never believe how the REAL thing actually looked like............













!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 tell you ah, i felt damn blardy ripped off.

already felt like a stab into my stomach, someone had to push the knife further in by making stupid remarks like this...

me : wah, so pale-looking wan the pizza...undercooked ah?
waitress : (looks stunned but silent)

me : so few toppings on the pizza...nothing like the poster la
waitress : (still stunned)

me : i thought the sides supposed to be fully covered with cornflakes? this one has hardly any cornflakes.
waitress : err...

me : how come no red capsicum wan?
waitress : uh..no red, so buy yellow wan.

long story short, it was the most disappointing dining experience i had in that place. i dunno, maybe it's just that particular outlet (you tell me if you've tried this particular pizza before), but surely there must be some kind of standard or at least a close resemblance of what you advertise to the public and how the actual finished product looks like, right? COME ON, we are not 3-year olds for goodness sake!

i call it the Pathetic Hut of Taman Melaka Baru.

p.s. - even the cream soup i had there was horrible...lumpy and cold....even AFTER we requested they warm up the soup for us.

(sorry mum and dad, will bring you to a much better pizza experience next time ya!)
