Happy Belated Deepavali

Yesterday was Deepavali or Diwali.

So Steak dragged Pasta along for a house-visiting of a close friend of his.

Why not? Pasta never went visiting for Deepavali.

Upon arrival, we spotted this fancy decorative picture on the door, the main door.

Entering, we spotted more decorative cards, and stickers and flower ornaments.

But there is a big crowd there, thus we can't snap any pictures.

'coz their heads are blocking the view.
All sorts of Bollywood artists' cards.

With simple yet sweet blessings in the cards.

Then, we are treated to home-made cookies and cakes.

We wondered, how they managed to come out with so many choices of cookies and cakes.

There is orange cake, chocolate cake, fruit cake, cappuccino cake.

Almost all the best flavour of cakes one would kill for.

But that is not the end to it.

We are again asked to treat ourselves to a simple home-made meal.
Consisting of 3 sort of curry, nasi briyani, some local vegetable, and not to miss out, roti canai.
Oh, we missed out this, this is the famous thing of the day.

Don't ask us, we don't know what it is called nor how to eat it.

Till we actually ask Steak's friend.

Shame on us. /haha
So this is the plate of simple meal we took.

Sumptuous?

It all tasted superb.

Anyway, Happy Belated Deepavali to all.

And, we are back to hiding in study room, ciao.

A time for festival.

This is the 100th post. Yays!

And today is the auspicious 08-08-2010. Double yays!

In conjunction to that, we had decided to do a post on what is happening in Kuching a.k.a. CatCity.

But we bet most of y'all know what is going on for a month in CatCity, don't you?

Yes, surely you would know. Surely.

But before that, we headed down Crown Square for the Book Fair.

Book Fair 2010, 31 July 2010 - 15 August 2010.

Books are good. Good for the mind?
And not to mention, a lucky draw. Good for you, if you win an iPhone4. Good for the body?
Notice the huge amount of books, p/s - this is only part of the book fair.

It's actually a cheap warehouse book sale.

These all are hand-me-downs from US.

Price range? RM2.90 - RM6.90.

Super duper cheap.

All sorts of books.

Story books for kids, novels for teenages, love novels for the adults.

Cook book, story book, manual books, useless books, picture books.

Hard cover. Paper back.
Seriously the range covers from kids to adult.

Any book at all.

This is HEAVEN for book collectors, book worms, book addictors, book fanatics, book-whatever.

No offences. Even us are included in this book-chaos, digging for books!

After the crazily-sweaty-session-of-book-digging, it's time to head over to the famous Kuching Food Festival.

The annual event for every Kuching Cats! (referring to all of you who are living in CatCity).

Pity no picture of the banner, 'coz it's pouring cats & dogs.

Anyway, here are some of the interesting harvest from the festival.
New invention?

Twist Potato.
Yeah, real ones. 100% original, kay!

Screw that potato, it's twisted.

Deep-fried = crispy potato chips.

But, please consume while it's hot, if no, you will face the wrath of soggy chips!
Sweet-drawing.
Phoenix sweet.
This China man very professional in drawing sweets.

No words can describe how skillful he is.
... (don't know how to translate this).

Well, there is this another China man who molds cartoon characters out of play-doh.

And another China man who draws portraits.

No play-play.
See all these and tell us, how incredibly skillful their hands are?!

Okay, enough of all the stall-talking.

Time to uncover what we harvested from the food festivals.

We decided to try all the special foods we saw.

All the weirdest, too.

龙须甜. (Dragon Whisker's Sweet).

草袋饭. (Straw Basket Rice).

Assorted flavours.

Citrus Scallop, Emperous Ham, Mushroom Chicken, Pineapple Delight, Nyonya Sambal.
Glutinous rice!

In assorted flavours too, life is all about choices, kan?

There is salty, pandan, yam and red bean.
Last but not least, Japan Boat Takoyaki.

In other words, sotong balls.

We had an awesome time walking down the stalls set up specially for this Kuching Food Festival.

Fear not, it is ON everyday, every night specifically.

From the 31st July 2010 to the 22 August 2010.

Head down now, aight? Now.

Don't miss it, or you will have to wait another year!

Ciao.

Easter is in the air!

Went for a walk @ The Spring earlier today and guess what we saw? /teehee!/


An Easter Garden in the middle of the mall. Pretty amazing wei. With a lot of colourful colourful eggs-in-baskets.


A near view o the front entrance.


A side view of the garden. Okay, in total there is 4 gates. Pretty no? Every corner there are different little cute stalls set up, selling a big range of things from cupcakes&cookies to colour-your-Easter-egg to softtoys and not to forget, chocolates!


Another view from the back.


And there is this mat of fun beside the garden. Some games of hopping and skipping and jumping to the goal. Sounds fun.


Easter Games entrance. Notice the airplane jumping game there?


A closer look of it. Nostalgic nostalgic nostalgia.

Did we mentioned about the stalls selling cupcakes&cookies?Yupp, you guessed it, we browse through and we bought something for ourselves and our roomates!

A pretty blue coated red velvet cupcake. Not your typical sponge cupcake. From Pasta to Steak.


A heart-shaped cookie. Last one available today from Steak to Pasta with love. Oh, hearts Steak lots!


A little butterfly for Pasta's roomate. Don't you find it pretty? As pretty as the receiver lah. /teehee!/


Last but least, a blue Easter egg for Steak's roomate. Very Easter-like feelings wei. /teehee!/

Anyway, to you all readers, Happy Easter Day! And Happy Hunting for Easter Eggs. To Kuching-ians, watch out for some Easter Hunting Season @ The Spring these few days! Till 2nd of April, if we are not mistaken. Take cares and have lots fun, ciao!
