Yo! Sisters...

China has its famous Soong sisters, whom were three Hainanese women, along with their husbands were influential political figures in the early 20th century. Oh well, Ipoh has the famous Lim sisters too! Not only we are Hainanese purebreed, we are also the Chinese musical instruments performer under the Lim Sistas tag since the late 20th century as well. Don't play play...

What a grand introduction, to such minions like us but anyways, I just wanna talk about our previous outing to Pavilion. After getting a bonus, I was feeling a little generous and thus told the other two Lim sisters that they can eat anything for tea time and I'll give them a treat. And so they chose Yo! Sushi.

I've always wanted to have a taste of this yuppie and hippie sushi joint as the colours are very vibrant and modern. What was available on the Kaiten belt was a little disappointing as there were not much variety. The menu is a disappointment too with little to choose from. I guess this is a place for a fast and easy meal.

The food are all served on colour-coded-rimmed-plates...


We ordered some sushi, salmon sashimi, agedashi tofu, a ramen, cawan mushi and a mochi dessert. I must say that the quality of food here is not what I would expect. I think I can conclude that I still prefer Sakae Sushi or Sushi Zanmai if you were to compare on the same grounds.

The Lim sisters left with disappointment and then adjourned to more shopping.

The Artistic One

Was at Brussels in Jaya One the other day for a drink. It was just one of the chilling sessions that I usually have with a whisky or two and I know it sounds weird drinking whisky at a beer cafe. I have previously blogged about Brussels here. I don't come here quite often but occasionally I do like to go there to catch up with some friends.

The last time I was there was probably almost 2 months ago with my gf and then once by myself while waiting for a dinner appointment with a client. I like the place because I can have a cigar or two in the open space, and it's not too hot. Moreover, one of my favourite chinese restaurants is there too. The food over there is not bad, and they serve a variety of finger food and also the German pork knuckle.


Dennis is having the Hoegaarden (his favourite anyway) while I have a glass of Singleton 12yo on the rocks. If I have to drink a beer, I would definitely choose a Hoegaarden for it's smooth, thick and hints of orange peel. Do you know that he can actually take 3 pints by himself? I think I would drown in that much of beer.

I was also lucky that night to bump into one of my friends whom is also the partner of the place and he bought me a glass of Glenfiddich 18yo. Woot!

Was also introduced to Tham by Dennis whom is his classmate and is now working for Brussels and he is really friendly and a nice chap. Still single. Any takers? Let me know, I'm the new "mama-san". Lol... (and maybe I could take pimping as my new career.. the legal pimping job FTW)



Tham & Me. Tham & Dennis.


As to why this post is called "The Artistic One", ahem... ahem... I was just trying to be artistic and testing out on the effects of different textures done to the photos. And drinking with the artistic one does match the title too. Thanks for the drinks! I'm also pimping his album.
