1st Anniversary Dinner at Fisherman's Cove

Time flies so fast! Yesterday marked the 1st yr anniversary of my relationship. I purchased Livingsocial cash vouchers for Fisherman's Cove, an elegant restaurant specializing in seafood tucked away in Starhill Gallery. I read reviews and they consistently reported good food and service, as well as a romantic ambiance = win!

The restaurant was relatively quiet considering it's a Friday night; I requested to dine upstairs and we were ushered to a unique dining setting. The furniture and decor projected the feel of a big fishing ship; it might be made complete if the restaurant played music of the sea :D The seats weren't comfortable for him but I guess he's taller so the support isn't there. 

We were served warm sourdough bread and warm water as the crew got to cooking. I asked the waitress if the bread was store-bought and she replied "it's chef's recipe". It was warm + fluffy on the inside + crunchy crust = so delicious, we had to ask for a second helping! I like the wait staff; they know how to be discreet and their timing to appear with our meal/check on us was very good. 

We shared the Fisherman's Cove seafood soup with Boston Bay Scallop
- the soup is sweet and soaked with the taste of yummy yummy scallops, mussels and prawns

Then came the mains: 
1) Mixed seafood spaghetti
- this was really delicious; the spaghetti was not too soft and the seafood was delicious. It came with squid, scallops, prawns, and mussels. 
2) Catch of the day (Garoupa) in Assam style with Rice Vermicelli
- the fish meat was tender and light in flavor; the style is similar to assam laksa, albeit not as sour/pungent. 

Dessert was warm chocolate lava pudding, and dark & white chocolate mousse with nutty chocolate soil. We preferred the latter; the choc lava didn't flow out as much as we'd like it to and the pudding was mediocre. The choc mouse with nutty choc soil was a good sweet finish for the night. 

 The price was about RM220+ for 2 pax; this is a bit on the high end but if you're looking for delicious seafood dining with good ambiance and service, you should check out Fisherman's Cove :)

Fancy a Massage in Bangsar?

Image
I'm a fan of massages, I like people rubbing the aches away. Good thing massage centres are common in Malaysia and I've surveyed a few places in Bangsar so here's the rundown: 1) Chow Yang Reflexology This is probably the most popular massage centre in Bangsar. Their staff are local or from either Myanmar or Thailand. You need a high pain threshold to enjoy their foot massage; you might find it enjoyable if you prefer the strong kind of massage. I only tried their food and shoulder; unfortunately my neck ached more the next day and I never tried it again.  2) Everhealth This is a popular massage chain and the staff are China nationals, so communication is difficult. However the staff are polite, plus they have a variety of rooms (private and sharing). I got a young female masseuse during my 1st experience; she wasn't very strong and didn't get all the aches out. The 2nd time I tried the traditional body massage and the masseuse was STRONG!

When is the Right Age to Marry?

Image
I went out with Grandma today & she made a light threat that I marry before her time is up. *knocks wood* *true story* That made me think: assuming she's still around for the next 10 yrs, I've less than that to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. In Malaysia, the minimum age of marriage is 18 with parental consent, 21 without parental consent. Having been in 2 serious relationships & both lasting for 4 months, I'd say I've little to no experience in having a deep relationship with another person. I'm 23 now, I remember being 18 & bragging that I'll have at least 10 boyfriends before I wed at 30.  Pfft. How reality has changed that estimation for me; at best, I can hope to meet Mr. Right within the next 5 yrs & start preparing for life as Mrs. Right. It won't be easy finding Mr. Right especially when Mom has a list of requirements for me to follow; I swear my ears ring everytime she tells me that "your husband...

Here We Go Again...

Frankly I can't be the only one annoyed with all this talk about using English vs mother tongue for Science & Maths, right? I did an article about that previously.  All this talk is starting to piss me off. Why? Apparently many Malaysians are freaking ignorant & plain DUMB. I sent a letter to the Star explaining my stand on this issue, so I'll put it here (I don't know if it'll be published but frankly, enough is enough): "Hi I'm writing in response to the letter by CONCERNED CITIZEN on 18 June in the Star "What about English in Accountancy". My sister studied in form 6 arts stream, now she's studying accounting at a private university; although her major subjects were taught in Malay at form 6, she had no problem switching to English at the university level. This brings me to my point that the root of the problem is many young Malaysians these days aren't speaking enough English, hence the worry that they can't cope with the chan...
