scenic drive

the is the east coast of usa in marblehead, massacheusetts. we can actually see the alantic ocean

this personal pizza from pizza hut was very very nice. the crust was thin (though it looked thick to me). there were a lot of cheese and sausage inside. it cost U$4 only. cheaper and much nicer than our local pizza hut.


i had lots of clam chowder at different places.

this indian tandoori chicken set from my office cafeteria. chicken was edible. rice was.. er... not very good. it was a big portion though, for a price of U$7


this lobster quesadilla was very nice, though it could do better with more lobster! the lobster meat was very sweet and juicy!


this grilled shrimp pasta was a little weird in taste. sourish, and dunno why they put pieces of pork and corn inside this dish. the combination was weird...

to wrap up my US trip

if anyone is wondering why i am up so early, it's bcos my body thinks it is 6pm...

yes, the amazing jetlag. actually it has nothing to do with the aeroplane i took, save for it took me to my destination. shouldnt it be called time lag? haha..

so, to wrap up my trip, i guess it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, though i put on 1 kg from all the pizzas and bread and seafood and clam chowder, my colleagues took really good care of me. and in a country like US, most wouldnt go such a way out, to take me out on scenic drives and sunday lunches.

i made a week of roast beef sandwich for breakfast, since eating out was really expensive, and i wouldnt want to spend my allowance on food! the roast beef was very tender and yummy.


when i arrived, the weather was very cold, and the trees were bare.



when i was leaving, the weather warmed up, the flowers were blooming!

foodcourt food

17 years ago, i visited vancouver and edmonton on the polytechnic exchange program. the asian food at that time was terrible. lots of msg, didnt even taste close to the real thing.

17 years later, i must say i am pleasantly surprised that the asian food tastes better. though not like what we have at home, it is passable, taste similar to some of our coffee shops or foodcourts.

cost is about U$6, expensive, but the portion is huge! 2 persons can share.

chicken teriyaki with rice
fish with rice and mixed vegetables

dinner in downtown boston

we went to a japanese restaurant - wagamama. actually it is not really a restaurant, it is similar to pasta de waraku.

wagamama serves mainly noodles, fried and soup, plus side dishes.

trish (colleague) had yaki soba while i had the teppanyaki beef yaki soba.



i liked the beef (very tender) but typical of yaki soba, the sauce was quite sweet, so half way into the meal, i already felt jelat.

alamak

a colleague kindly offered to take me out on friday night.

we went to downtown boston - charlestown and north end. the night view of boston is really nice. i only bright my phone which has a 3.2mp camera.

took 2 pictures of the night view.

turned out like that... haha.. i think i will have to pick up a postcard at the airport.

cat beds

this was in a store (called target) near my hotel. it is something l ike carrefour. the cat beds are all very pretty and cheap. U$12-15 nia!

too bad i cant buy for my cats. got one pee-er who likes to pee on soft material.

every cat bed that i buy gets peed on within 1 hour - 1 day!
