For us, Raya is another festive to eat, also its time to put on weight!

This time, we prepared satays. It served with a spicy peanut sauce dip, or peanut gravy, slivers of onions and cucumbers and ketupat (rice cakes).

There are other main dishes that raise our appetite!. Here they are ayam masak merah, sambal sotong and also malay and nyonya kuih.

Not forgetting to wish all muslim friends, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfiltri.

Food Gossip- 18 : Axian DimSum

We arrived Axian Dim Sum at around 10 am, and the shop was very busy with early birds. Fortunately, we managed to get our table in less than 10 minutes later.

The food is tasty with a reasonable price.

This is my favourite steamed pao -流沙包.

I guess they can sell more than 100 paos during the weekends.

JACK'S PLACE, 1UTAMA:

What have made Jack's Place famous? It must be the tantalising range of steaks and grills, salad, pizza, seafood and pasta. They serve the finest ingredients from US and NZ.

Family Trip to Tanjung Sepat

This place is something new to me. My brother brought us to Tanjung Sepat. We arrived at around 3.00pm, and we all starved. First stop, we wanted to fill our stomach with a famous seafood reataurant - Baywatch. We waited 40 minutes for the meals to be served.

If you asked me about the taste, i would say: " so so only".

It took less than 30 minutes to finish our lunch, and we continued our next itinerary to the famous "pao" shop.

Can't wait to find out what is so special with the Pao here, coz most of the people spread the news that the tourists came here to buy more than 1000 paos.

So excited when the time i saw the family members run the business, including preparing the raw materials, mixing the flours untill putting them into the oven.

We wanted to take away some back to KL. Unfortunately, the "pao" was sold out for those who didn't make reservations. We came all the way from KL just to taste tha famous local pao, but they will dissapppointed when they can't even taste it. At the end, after the sweet talk, the boss lets us have 3 paos. The pao taste good and not oily. Thumbs up! No wonder people came all the way just to buy the pao.

After the "pao" session, we proceed to lover bride. Nothing much there. People came to walk through the bridge and photo opportunity.

On the way back, we stopped at one of the Dragon fruits farm. First time ever, i saw the dragon fruit hang on the plant and tasted the dragon fruit blended juice.

Family Trip to Jenjarom 佛光山东禅寺

Before we go to Tanjung Sepat, my brother brought us to FGS Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom. The weather is hot. There are two lovely couples having their wedding shoots.

Normally, the temple will be lighten up with red lanterns and well decorated for special occasions ie. Lantern festival and Lunar Chinese New Year.

My mum likes to go temple, and she spent a long time inside for praying. This is because she has a long wish list to be presented to the God of Mercy. The list of people started with her five children, her siblings, her mum and so on. Even though, i didn't know what is the content, but i guess, she has a standard wish i.e. healthy and safe.

Thanks mum~~ Mum is always worry about us, but not herself.

Holiday Getaway in Awana Kijal (Kemaman)

Never thought of going to Awana Kijal until one day. Upon arrival, i understand that this resort has so much to offer.

1. The Resort.

This is where my 5-star relaxation at the No.1 resort on the East Coast starts. Before arrival, i did make some research online to compile some of the fun activities available. I personally like the big swimming pool very much.

A 22,000 sq. feet waterfall pool washes away your cares.

A breathtaking scenery after the rain in the late afternoon. This picture was taken at the corridor, outside the hotel room.

2. Spa Rejuvenation at Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa:

The Spa Experience can contribute greatly to a healthier lifestyle, indulging our senses and enhancing our health by helping us relax, de-stress and have fun.

Before i start my day, i choose to rejuvenate myself with a 2 hrs Ancient Healing Spa which included wedang ( ginger tea), body scrub, massage and body mask. I like the javanese massage very much till I didn't even notice that i felt in sleep.

3. The Hot Sun

The sun kisses my whole body! His kisses can kill. So that, i have to bring out the secret weapon - sunblock to minimize the kisses on my body.

3. Lush Green

The resort is surrounded by 800 acres of the lush greenery. I lied down on the grass in order to be embraced and reconnected with nature.

Did you hear the bird sings?

4. Fun Activities.
You can hire a bicycle and cycling around the 7.6km private beach and allow the azure waves to lull with their meditative rhythm. ATV car is also available.
