Food Gossip 6 - Euro Deli,

My eldest brother, King Kong suggested a dinner at Restaurant Euro Deli Grill at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. I arrived earlier, while waiting for my brother and sis-in-law, i walked around and snapped some photos.

This is my third visit to Euro Deli. This restaurant serves Swiss-German delicacies. Diners who like meat in their meals will definitely like this place.

Many years ago when i visited this restaurant, they offered a lot of different menus from the range of pork, ham till all kind of sausages. But, surprisingly, now the captain passed me the menu which only with one laminated page with about 12 items to select from.

My sis-in-law ordered chicken Schnitzel. We thought they will serve a huge portion, but surprisingly, it's not what we think of.

Where else, I ordered the Butcher platter ( Kassler Ham, Sausage & Knuckle) with Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Obviously, i wanted to try 3 different types of signature meat at once.

They served Germany buffet at RM 48++/ pax. We still prefer to order ala carte. Pork Knuckle is the signature food here. But, it's not my preference. I actually would like to try the Germany beer but i afraid i'm unable to drive back ..coz as everyone knows that " don't drink and drive"!!

King Kong helps us finished some portion, as well as to finish his own order- the Mixed Sausage plate with 3 combination of sausages.

Euro Deli is now affectionately known as “The Sausage King ”. Frankly said, i have no knowledge about sausage, but i guess, the 3 combinations should be Farmer's sausage, Nuernberger and Emmenthaler.

Today, the tantalising range of quality Euro Deli products are readily found in supermarkets and hypermarket chain stores all over the country, namely in Cold Storage, Giant, AEON Jusco, Tesco and Carrefour.

X'mas Eve 2008 - Crazy Night

Merry Christmas!

Last two years i was celebrated Christmas in Singapore and Hong Kong respectively. This year, i have no trip, therefore my friend suggested to spend the night in Neway Karaoke.

Neway Cheras was crowded with a lot of youngsters at about 10 pm, mostly came in couples. We were starved! Michael in-charged of serving us buffet in the K-room.

Neway is serving buffet until 11pm. In conjucntion with X'mas, they served roast Turkey, pineapple ham, roast lamb and a lot of varieties of food. Thanks to my buddy, Michael, coz he was able to grab some raw oysters and prawns for us. No doubt, Michael is a lucky guy, coz he always get his wishes come true.

Even though there are many varieties to select from, but my fussy tongue only went for oysters and certain food that i like. Basically, i didn't eat much.
Thumbs up to the Baked Oyster with cheese and curry powder.

Michael and Crystal were the two hardworking "servants" to bring in all the different food for us. All the food lied on the table till we didn't know which to start with. At the end, i was not aware who was the hero who finished the food. Perhaps, i guess, it should be Michael and KK.

Besides having our meals, we were busy receiving and sending Christmas greetings!!

At the begining, the ladies had their Kampai. Later on, all we had were heineken and Scotch Whisky.

Every guys toasting happily with their glasses and bottles up. Luckily, KK helped me to drink the balance in my glass and bottle before i really drunk.

The alcohol flowing through our veins. We get high! Michael even removed his shirt to show his "muscle" in front of us! In fact, he has no 6 packs, but tummy! How about myself?...ermm...i did a crazy thing worst than Michael.

We enjoyed the night at the karaoke, not because we like to sing, but we enjoyed the companion from a group of close friends. Some of them really can sing very well, with the full of expression and feeling.

Here, i will not share the picture of my other friends due to their profession which goes undercover. Three of us were really enjoyed being entertained by the guys!

No Santa Claus, No fireworks, No romantic X'mas dinner, No lover, yet, we still enjoyed the night. What a wonderful night! We sing, we dance, we drink, we laugh...... until 5 am. This year's Christmas, i received something "extra" in my life. It doesn't mind good nor bad, coz it was like a dream, and i wish i will not wake up from the dream so soon.

Sales Carnival : Behind The Scene

So far, i haven't show those events that i organized in my blog. This is the first one, and from time to time, if necessary, i will share some.

This is the annual year end sales Carnival which was held at Sunway Convention Centre, Sunway. I did contributed a lot of creative ideas for this Carnival. I mortified our childhood board game -"snake and ladder" into a giant board game with the size of 20ft x 20ft.

The game that i designed consist of 36 spaces, where every space offers different prizes, except those spaces where a police traffic stationed, the player will receive a "saman" and compulsory to pay the penalty.

The company get a pretty good sales during a few hours Sales Carnival. Bravo!! However, thanks to the staffs who gave their full cooperation and hard work. Some even sleep less than 3 hours the night before the actual event.

As early as 7.30am, there are some outstation guests arrived at the venue. They can't wait to get more early bird goodies. The event is filled with new product lauching, lucky draws, fun fare game stalls, Santa claus walkabout, special sales, product demo and consultation and so on.

The idea of building a product Twin Tower became a major contest on that day. My initial idea is to encourage more people to attend the event by offering cash prize. Obviously, most of the guests are excited to get the right answer. Some that are close with me even try his/her luck to get the correct answer, but, to be fair, i need to dissappoint them.

Immediate the Sales Carnival is over, we continued with another event in the Pyramid Ballroom from 3.00pm untill 8.00pm.
Before the event starts, just in time for me to snap a few pictures for my future references.
This little kid was runining around, with my Santa's deer hairband.

" Snowman, come come..give me a big hug!" .......haha....

We started the set up at around 8pm the night before the actual event. We have about less than 3 hours sleep before we get ready for the 12 hours event. At the end of the event, we are so exhausted, but luckily the tireness doesn't too obvious on my face. In fact, my legs is really painful. On the way home, i almost felt that my leg is not belong to my body. Just imagine how tired i was.

Wedding Banquet at Berjaya Times Square

Hong Kong cinema star couple Carina Lau and Tony Leung finally tied the knot in Bhutan after 19 years love. It's not easy to bring a relationship thus far.

Here, Peter Lau and his wife finally get to the altar after 18-19 years love marathon. They knew each other when they were 19 years old.

Something that i would like to hightlight is that the groom, Peter Lau is consider a successful enterpreneur. Before the mid of 30's, he has been to most of the countries around the world, i.e Canada, Denmark, NZ, Australia, South Africa, China, Poland, UK and so on..just to name a few.

The wedding banquet was held in Berjaya Times Square KL. Arrived at the venue, I still have time to take some photos before the ceremony starts. These are the standard decorations provided in the hotel wedding package which included the ice craving, wedding cake, PA System, stage backdrop, wordings and flower stands.

The dinner was served at around 9pm. Look at the menu! It started with Four hot and cold combination, followed by Braised shark fin soup with crabmeat.

Immediate after the starter, roasted chicken with sesame and plum saurce was served before Deep fried garoupa fish with Thai sauce.


While Wok-fried tiger prawns with nestum and pandan leaf was served, the newly weds couple were having some games on stage.
At around 10.30pm, stewed black mushroom and pacific clam with Hong Kong kailan was served. After this dish, some of the guests left the ballroom.

There were orange juice, chinese tea, red wine, black label and heineken available for guests. I had four different drinks on my table. At the end, i only managed to finish 1 glass of red wine and 1 glass of orange juice.

Playback of the wedding photo video on the projector screen. The tree in this picture appeared in most of the wedding photos taken by diferent couples. I wonder where is this place?

Preparation for wedding is a tired event. Nowadays, people tend to simplifly the procedure. More than saying " i Do", the groom and the bride have more responsible after married with another type of life together.

I left the banquet at around 11pm before the event over.
