Siam

After a tiring few days up north, bidding our final farewells, we headed back home for some quick shopping before S had to leave to go back to Chi-town. Kelantan Lane's business transactions spiked for that day...

Then, in the evening, A&W (harhar) brought us to experience the all-new (to us) experience of Siamese Steamboat/Hotplate Grill.

First, you oil the grill part with LARD so your food wouldn't burn and stick to it...

Then you pile on as much food as is possible, without it sliding down into the lower rim, which is filled with soup. Then you shove it into your gaping mouth, after dipping it into the tasty chilli sauce mixture they serve with this. Yum yum!

Then look back at (possibly) the youngest slave in employment in Singapore cleaning up the mess you've made...

Big Bang

It's just a number. But a milestone nonetheless. And to celebrate it, we took a girlie trip across the border, ate, spa-ed, and shopped ourselves silly.

Kick starting the day with a breakfast of fluffy, cripsy roti canai and a cup of teh tarik. How else should we start the day? :)

Present gratefully received and carefully unwrapped

Making our way swiftly to the spa to get our bodies scrubbed down and kneaded. Aaahhh! That's the life! 

After the pampering treatment to the skin, it was time to feed the stomach! Onwards to the mall, to gorge ourselves! 

In the evening, we met up with S and C, who took us to a scrumptious seafood location, and thence to an extremely local joint, where we had Tulang Mee Rebus! Eeks to the tulang, but the mee rebus was tasty, and all was consumed in the quaint atmosphere of atap huts on a hilly location. With a birthday cake of sinful kueh lapis too. *burp*

Creepy hotel experience notwithstanding, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. And vowed to make our way back there again in the very near future (all in the name of stimulating the global economy, and heeding the advice to "spend our way out of the recession", of course!).
