What is good dinner company?

"Good company makes bad food palletable" - A dear friend.

A Taste of Italy by Whye Mun

Chef Munsy at work! Inspiration by ... Gordon Ramsay.


Marinated Mushrooms and Tomato & Mozarella with Korean Bread.


Slurp ... beautifully marinated pan grilled lamb chops, with Rosemary.


The sides ... home made mashed potatoes with sour cream,
Mashed Butternut Pumpkin, and
Salad with Lemon Vinagrette Dressing.


And to me ... this was the highlight. More than a hint of vodka in this!
Presenting, the Vodka Semi Freddo.


Thanks, Cousin... a truly wonderful family meal!

This iPod Classic looks like a golf ball!

Cool skin on this iPod Classic, eh ... :-)


Wikipedia... During a special iPod-centric event on September 5, 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the sixth generation iPod and the retronym suffix "classic". Featuring slightly thinner bodies, the sixth generation classic also sported dramatically improved battery life, claiming up to 40 hours of music playback and 7 hours of video playback. The front plate of the iPod is now made of anodized aluminum instead of polycarbonate plastic, and "Signature iPod White" has been replaced by silver. The sixth generation classic also introduced a completely overhauled user interface, incorporating more graphics and Cover Flow.

A friend was visiting so we had a quick bite, pre-Bangkok Jazz, in this place which I had wanted to go for ages! Its got a reputation for being REAL good, but pricey .... I found the meal to be quite pricey, but it wasn't fantastic.


Tom Yum Koong (Prawn) - Very VERY firey, rather good flavour, but of the thick variety ... Some people prefer the clearer variety, but I like this style ala my days in Pattaya.


The other 2 dishes were more dissapointing ...
Pad Kaprao Chicken (So much better in Thailand - the basil tasted burnt... BOO!),
and Kerabu Mango (Not sour enough ... just not tasty enough!).


Pricey? Yes! Along with 2 cups of Green Tea and 1 Nescafe for me, the meal came up to over RM$70.
