When I’m supposed to be studying for my prelims next week, there I was, spending my day at the mall as if I don’t have to read bajiliion chapters from my books. Mind you, BOOKS.
We went to Gilmore first to buy a new monitor.. since we’re too maarte and we need two for gaming, Twitter and Facebook all at the same time. Passed by at Greenhills and really thought I’ll get a new phone.. False hopes. :-< On a positive note, Mom agreed to get me a new one only that I have to dispose my old Samsung. Yeyyy! And probably after I show her my preliminary exam results — guess that’d be better.
We went home first, all too excited to try it and see for ourselves how cool it feels like. Hey! My day out isn’t over yet. Decided all of a sudden to go to Greenbelt to watch Septic Tank. No screenings at GB so we had to go to Glo, but ended up not watching it because we’re late (as ever). Rather, we spent the evening shopping. I love you Mamita! She got me two new bags. Heh, thanks! Had dinner at Banana Leaf a while later.

Roti Canai |
Meant as a dessert but food arrived after ages, we had to eat this first. It’s like a pita bread? Idk. =)) It tastes so good with condensed milk, I tell you. But as far as I remember, by looking at the menu, you can also match it with curry sauce. Not a fan, though.
Roti canai (pronounced “chanai,” not “kanai”) is a type of flatbread found in Malaysia, often sold in Mamak stalls. It is known as roti prata in Southern Malaysia and Singapore, and is similar to the Indian Kerala porotta. (Souce:

Stir Fried Mussels with Sweet Chili Sauce |
Have always been a big fan of shells and above ‘em all, I’d go for mussels. I can eat an entire bowl full of it in one sitting. The sauce tastes good only that we forgot one important detail: it is made up of chili. Whew, I really felt the tang of the red pepper! Weird it may be but I’m not fond of eating spicy food even if I’m a Bicolana. Hence, wasn’t able to enjoy this course. But then again, on a higher note, it tastes good! 4.5, maybe.

Deep Fried Pandan Chicken |
This reminded me so much of my condo living way back 2009. I remember me and my cousin cooking this for dinner most of the time because it was easy to prepare -- plus those we buy from SM tastes so good. However, with BL's Pandan Chicken, I wasn't too satisfied. The aroma of the pandan is evident; although vapid in terms of the marinate of the chicken. Makes me wonder, would it taste better if they did brine it long enough? Anyway, I give it a 3.5.
Oh by the way, I saw Heart Evangelista today with her boyfriend. She happens to be my ultimate (local) showbiz crush. I was just in awe. Damn yo gorgeous gurl!
Rain pouring hard on our way home. I got too emotional listening to The Script while looking outside the window.. You know how they do it in movies. HAHA. Life just has too much drama. K.
I talk too much. Ta-ta!
