Pun of the day:
If Getting High lands you in a cool place, then i’d sure wanna reach for the top!
Mom didn’t have to work on Tuesday, so we had a little family vacation at Genting Highlands.
We didn’t plan to go shopping or try any of the theme park rides. Maybe hit the casino for a while, to celebrate my adulthood.
All in all, we were just chilling. Quite literally.
Genting is cool! Pun intended.
When i was staying in Setapak a few years ago, my ex-housemates and I used to travel to Genting in the middle of the night. We sat in Starbucks for hours over some Fraps. Then went back down. They said very shiok wor.
But for me it’s a little cham, because i’m caffeine intolerant!!! (yea i know!! So tragic!) I will be sleepless lor, if i take coffee. And the worst thing is, nothing else was open in the middle of the night but Starbucks. Obviously most of their beverages are caffeine-laden.
Therefore, i have never been a Starbucksful person.
So, guess what i did.
I got myself a drink after all.
Guess what it is?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Full cream milk!!
That’s like the best drink ever in Starbucks. FREE too!
(Hoi, Starbucks baristas who are reading this right now, next time you see me stealing your milk, please pretend you don’t know hor.)
Anyway. Mom got herself some food.
I never expected Starbucks’ Tiramisu to be so good! It was one of the best i’ve eaten recently.
The one thing i hate about Genting is the food. It sucks. Let alone expensive.
Not that i like Sushi King, but there’s really no other choice. Unless i go to Mc D again. But then again, it is the safest to eat fast food there. At least the quality of fast food retains a certain standard everywhere. My ex-housemate once had this RM12 so-called chicken rice. A few pieces of muscle-atrophied (鸡肉萎缩), malnourished chicken meat, and white rice! What is chicken rice without the aromatic garlic rice? Siao. As a result, my ex-housemate almost wanted to chomp on their plates as an act of vengeance..
Anyway, we ordered
Sushi King Gozen.
Assorted sushi, tempura, deep fried mackerel, soba noodles and Yakult. Pheww, it didn’t look that different from the menu.
Grilled squid.
Actually, i really bury (opposite of dig) conveyor-belt sushi shops.
I know it’s fancy and conveynient and all…
But it’s only good when you are extremely hungry and you can’t wait no more.
Because chances are, you are not getting fresh sushi. (I’m not saying that all of them are not fresh, but they might not be fresh ALL THE TIME.)
The sushi was cold. I know sushi is supposed to be cold but there’s a difference between “fresh & cold” and “cold with the passing of time”.
Like this one hor, the ebiko was no longer doink doink bouncy, and the seaweed was totally LIMP and SOGGY!
I hate sushi with limp seaweed. Totally potong steam.
The best sushi/maki only wear crispy seaweed kimonos..
Another thing i totally bury in japanese cuisine is the crabstick.
According to Answer.com, crabstick also means “A crabby, ill-tempered person”.
You know why?
If you haven’t known already, crabstick, except its name and its appearance, which looks remotely like a bloody crap crab, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with crabs.
It tastes so bland and fake. So fake like it has been subjected to copious plastic surgery operations.
Wait, in fact it has.
You see, according to Wiki, crabstick is a food product made from white-fleshed fish (such as pollock or hake) or lean meat that has been pulverized to a paste that has been shaped and cured to vagely resemble snow crab legs. The individual pieces are usually coloured red or yellowish red, and rectangular-oblong in shape, and small strings of the crab sticks can be neatly pulled and torn out in a similar manner to string cheese.
IT HAS NO CRAB! YOU ALL GOT CONNED! SUCKERS!
Ok fine. At least it has something to do with cheese.
But so cham right, imagine you are the Pollock fish, after being murdered, chopped into chunks, minced into pieces, blended into puree and pulverized into a paste, your name becomes CRAB! Talk about humiliation!!!
It is no wonder crabsticks are crabby and ill-tempered.
Poor crabs… i mean fish.
Suen le ba. Man, i really should be less critical.
But dammit. We had it on our pizza too.
Cheesy bites–Pizza Hut.
I think I’ll close one eye this time, looking at the amount of cheese.
Man, it was ecstatic. The combination of cheddar and mozzarella was just like a perfect marriage of egg white and egg yolk, so cheesy can die.
Which reminds me of my fav Mc Egg.
So simple and adorable.
P/S:
I’ll be Genting High again on the 5th of August for Jim Brickman’s concert in Arena of Stars. I know you dunno who he is, i actually dunno also, but his piano compositions like ‘You’, ‘Valentine’ and ‘Angel Eyes’ are damn chun! Who will be going?

July 26th, 2006 at 1:15 am
You get Yakult with a meal deal? I thought it was a punishment for kids who wouldn’t eat their breakfast… Yakult does give you good look in the casino though (always bet on black(teria))
July 26th, 2006 at 1:30 am
oh.you should try “铜锣湾” at second floor of First World. They taste nicer and cheaper too.
Why cannot mention about casino?
Anyway, I was once a croupier there. -_-
July 26th, 2006 at 2:14 am
HEY!! Jim Brickman is wayyyy cool k? His pieces are all uber nice to listen to.
I wish I could be there too! I remember him performing in Arena of Stars a couple of years back too.

Anonymous: If you dont mind me asking, when were you a croupier there?
July 26th, 2006 at 2:18 am

July 26th, 2006 at 3:27 am
hmm… maybe you should try the white choclate mocha.. less caf.. or just try the ice tea they have at starbucks! the passion ice tea is great in helping you digest your food.. hence helps weight loss… =)
it has been ages since i was in genting… maybe 8yrs ago… geez.. i am feeling old.
July 26th, 2006 at 3:34 am
You and your mom seem so close. Are you the only child in the family?

July 26th, 2006 at 7:31 am
In Australia we call crab stick “seafood extender”. If that isn’t the grossest thing ever then I don’t know what is.
July 26th, 2006 at 7:35 am
Genting’s food is so freaking expensive… My frens & I usually bring our home cooked food & eat it in the open so that ppl can drool with envy =P
Goin up to Starbucks in Genting in the middle of the nights seems to be a trend nowdays. I remember the times my cousin would drag me in my shorts into the car and staright to Genting at 1am. Those were the days….
July 26th, 2006 at 7:56 am
Wanted to watch Jim’s show bt by the time i found out, already too late

prawn, it’s a norm even between car clubs…
it’s a mini event called the “up on the hill coffee” for the obvious reasons…

Wah, the new pizza looks good huh. Must try!
July 26th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
Aiyo…
If you want good food at Genting, then you need to eat at the restaurants inside the casino. The rest are all lousy.
Oh, and there’s one canteen for the Genting Highlands’ staff/workers/slaves. It’s hidden somewhere next to a carpark and it has wonderful cheap food.
July 26th, 2006 at 2:34 pm
ivan: TBR lor.

Cheesie: Wow! Three years already? Time certainly flies!

s0hp0h: Babycinno? Got such thing ah? Damn cute wei. No lo, i’m talking bout the milk put aside together with sugar sachets and staws and flav powder. 0_0
Blah&Funnycheese: I’ll try ok
Ivan&Terry:Yes i was a TARCian. I was in this ADP course which they later closed down. Damn long story. -_-
koyuuken:Can you make sushi?
Tristan:No wor. I went for another event. Any doll pictures?
Enrico:melted liao, no shape liao lor 0_0

Paws, fully agreed…
July 28th, 2006 at 10:27 am
Tristan: YOU WERE?!?!? What year heh. I thought we were the first and last batch. Damn unsuccessful la. All my classmates just quit halfway and ADP students became soon-extinct animals, unprotected. Even TARCians themselves havent heard of ADP. Damn cham. >_<
Koyuuken: You know there’s a sushi making workshop right after the yearly Japanese speech contest? Free admission. I’ll find out more about it.
July 28th, 2006 at 10:50 am

July 28th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
If I’m not mistaken,you were doing ADP btw the year 2002-2003?
July 28th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
Babycinno
July 28th, 2006 at 1:32 pm
Babycinno is milk froth sprinkled with chocolate dust. I tried to ordered and the waiter said: “Only for kids”.

I used to do ADP in Inti for 2 months not TAR…lol…but I heard of it b4 those days that TAR used to cater ADP…-_- How sad!

101 GUIDE TO WIN IN GENTING
I heard that Tan Sri Lim(Uncle Lim) feed lots of little “hantu”(or toyol) in his casino.
Whenever u win a little.. an invisible hand will cover your eyes and make sure u see the wrong cards or miss your chance.
So the next time if any of u do decide to try your luck with Black Jack or Baccarat in Genting, i got a tip for u to counter this little “hantu”, make sure you bring some sweets in your pocket and throw some of them beside your chair or under the blackjack or Baccarat table to distract the little “hantu”. u know… little toyol loves sweets, so now, they’ll eat the sweets instead of covering your eyes. ;). but do remember to throw more sweets when someone pull your leg under the table. LOL… .. try it at your own risk… coz side effect, unknown.
July 28th, 2006 at 10:48 pm
oh yah, another tip… make sure u r 21 and above. LOL
July 28th, 2006 at 11:22 pm
睹神(??): i thought you want to see terbalik of hantu –> tuhan??
btw, the toyol you meant may hidding under the wooden floor at center of Circus Palace!..Don’t believe?..Go kick the floor until you find the wooden floor and look around there, then you will know! Wuakakaka… -_-lll
kekeke…
July 28th, 2006 at 11:23 pm
ivan&terry: Yes you’re right. Around 2002.
Paws:Try telling them you’re getting it for your kids then ;P. Don’t forget they serve milk and choco powder FOC. Just need to be thick skin ;P
July 29th, 2006 at 12:59 am
i believe in anonything man , as long as i win some chips from uncle lim.
August 4th, 2006 at 3:44 pm
freaking expensive is because u dunno where o look for mah….
August 6th, 2006 at 3:04 pm
Hope u enjoy your concert. It’s a coincidence 2 bump into u at the front entrance as well as to find u sitting in front of me. This concert is Ok only IMO as the one held previously is alot better. Plust the invited artists previously r a lot better than u know who la :-p Anyway.. when u goin to publish all those close up stage shot
Anyway, to spend da night away, nothing beats drinkin coffee in da cold environment.
