Let’s get together…

Last night, I went to this bloggers’ get-together at Lot 9 Cafe here…

Victor Kiu was the meet co-ordinator (right) and with him in the photo was James from Miri…

…and willchua from Sarikei (left) and rubberseeds were there…

…and so was bongkersz (left), with wongpk and alexallied (blurred as he was moving at the time)…

…and the camera-shy Bengbeng (so he was not in any of the photos) who was recovering from his serious foot injury. Clare was not able to join us as her uncle took her family out for dinner after the sunset mass but Yan managed to drop by to say hello after her family dinner at another venue…

So what did we have to eat? There was this dish of fried mihun garnished with fried anchovies (ikan bilis) which was not bad…

…followed by this plate of salad chicken which was quite nice too…

…but I did not like the curry fish head. I’ve tasted better elsewhere and even my own home-cooked version with A1 Mountain Globe brand instant curry mix (seafood) is much better…

I liked the sourish Thai-style midin (wild jungle fern). I thought it was nicer than Ruby’s – they had strips of ginger in theirs and I did not like the fuss of having to single them out one by one.

The butter/cereal pork ribs dish is worth a try. Everybody enjoyed that…

…and this dish of tofu was quite a hit, but I’m more a meat person…

…and very much preferred the Philippine pork leg which could be comparable to Sweet Family’s…

I did not touch the chicken feet/claws though! Eyew…

All in all, the bill came up to around RM300 for so many people, inclusive of rice and drinks and each person had at least two or three. Rubberseeds brought a bottle of wine – Shiraz and they had that but I didn’t touch a drop! I was a very good boy! LOL!!!

It certainly was nice getting together to chit-chat and get acquainted with one another better. My pleasure meeting you, Victor (who was a student in my former school but I didn’t get to teach his class)…and I really liked his t-shirt…

Ooo…William Shakespeare! “If music be the food of love, play on!” Luckily Victor’s not even half my size or he would have gone home without a stitch on his back! Hahahahahaha!!!!
