We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.
-Mitch Albom
Whee!!! Guess where?! kun boon p and i went to qian hu last sun! thank god for boon who suggested cos otherwise there's no way i can drag p there cos hes EXTREMELY scared of the ticklish sensation!
Its quite ulu inside sungei tengah near cck so thank god there's a bus tt fetches ppl frm cck n boonlay mrt =)) the bus was pretty empty tho, the carpark was full! i guess more ppl drive there? haha
and wot do we expect to see at qian hu other than aquatic animals but aquatic animals of course! so here's mr crab! but sadly there's no crab shack and i didnt seem to see partick the starfish too! i rem seeing starfishes when i went the last time! =) cute cute crabs!
and sadly some of the fishes are sick. but i think its realli cool tt the farm actually treats them. i mean if there's a sick fish at home, most ppl would nt have bothered to bring it to the vet right. at least the fishes are safe from humans for NOW.
and this is arowana. one of the most ex fishes there, my dad used to have them and i remember they eat live baby frogs! like eww.. and this handsome fish is a donation from chowyunfatt. i presume hes too bz filming or making babies rather than feed the fish!
and who can forget this luohan! there was the luohan craze a few yrs back where every few steps you take, you'll see a luohan shop. and tts nt all, during tt period almost every household have luohans at hm! my family is guilty as charged!
this is one of them tricking the gullible fishes!
the scary sucker fish up close n personal!
and but of course my fave fish of the lot has gotta b this mollies! there are tattooed with patterns on them but they are listed as sick as well, presumably cos of the ink? kinda cruel too considering how painful i imagined it to be.
Kunnie couldnt resist and got 2 terrapins! named hummie and naughty cos hummie is always hiding in his shell! and naughty is so domineering always poking ard. but sadly its the only and last time we will see hummie cos the last time i checked, he is mia!
OUR MAIN PURPOSE of going to qian hu! the fish spa! its relatively cheap, $10 for 30mins and they dont realli clock how long you've submerged your feet cos there are juz so many tanks ard but the density of fishes is nt as high as when we tried at kenko the previous time so its nt as shiok and i felt tt the fish nvr suck as much dead skin?! prob they are aldy full for all the predecessors deadskin.
After all the sightseeing, we are famished and i brought them to bollywood veggies, one of mommy's fave restaurant away frm the hustle and bustle of the city =) they close at 6 and we arrived at 530 but they still continued to serve us tho there's limited selection left.
sambal kangkong tt is o so so spicy tt we could not finish it!!
long beans! yummy! its organic and fresh n crunchy!
jackfruit lemak. i have no idea wots tt but my mom told me thereafter its an eurasian dish. its like curry but its nt spicy at all and the parts are all parts of a jackfruit! so cool! i didnt noe you can even eat the stem etc. i tot eating the seed is weird enuff.
achar fish. my fave! i <3<3<3 those achar. i think i stole all of them from boon cos i saw him eating but i finished the achar faster than him hahahahaha.
fried chicken which is super yummy cos the first few dishes we ordered are veg?! and i'm no herbivore.
complimentary banana crumble! the staff there were so so so nice. cos they are off on mon n tues and the food will go bad by then cos theres no preservative, they gave us this crumble foc. they initially gave us one but seeing how much we love their food! they gave us another one! its the first time ive had banana crumble cos the more common options are peach crumble/apple crumble so this is a refreshing change and kunnie <3 it to bits!
and we also ordered the dessert platter consisting of bananacake, tapioca kueh and gula meleka kuek. the tapioca cake is super yummy. i dont usually buy that but its served warm at bollywood and juz so nice! so i think the trick to eating yummy tapioca kueh is to serve it warm! banana cake is of cos yums and gula meleka kueh too! they staff were so nice they even dapaoed bananacake and chocolate bananacake for us foc!
omg we want to make this qianhu/ bollywood combi a monthly ttip! cant wait for the nxt one! i <3 surprises at bollywood veggies! =)
