Hubba's set ...

Don't be deceived by the photograph!

SMALL and EXPENSIVE!

MORE to come ...

Just 2 days after coming back, my throat is burnt by regurgitation of acid reflux at night! 

Arrrghhhhhh, more food to come!

Ang Mo Chup Chye Peng aka "Panda Express"!

In my time here in USA, it's like my 2nd or 3rd time having Panda Express! Hahaha, I always tell hubba, this is NOT CHINESE food! This is American Chinese!!! We don't have Orange Chicken or General Tso or Mongolia Beef; in China, or Taiwan or Malaysia or Singapore! But they do taste GOOD in a very sweet way; almost addictive! But still it is not CHINESE hahahaha. 

Well, if there is a coupon for FREE serving, why not?

Panda Express promoting their new dish,"Surf and Turf"!

But then when I goes in to redeem my free serving, they says, "It's finished!"

What the XXXX!

Since we are at Panda Express, Hubba decide to 'tabao'!

And he even managed to convince the staff to replace another type of  'PREMIUM' serving for him since we come all the way down to redeem the voucher! 

So hubba gotten 2 entree (Orange chicken and Beijing beef) and 1 side (Chow mein); plus a free serving of Pepper Prawn. That's alot, almost 2pax servings, and cost us about USD7+!

*Burrrrrp*

Brazil Brasileriro @ Richardson

Another Groupon Voucher that I bought and it will be expiring on Apr 17, so we 'die die' have to go by this weekend! Hubba called in and Sunday is full day dinner so we made an appointment for 3pm!

At 3 pm, the restaurant is rather empty, and there are only another 2 other tables at the restaurant.

Headed straight to the Buffet counter, and I was rather disappointed because the variety is VERY LIMITED! But then at least there is GARLIC bread, hahaha!

Salad bar.

And the rice, spaghetti, banana, empanadas and some curry sauce counter.

Some stuffs I took from the buffet.

And this is what Hub took ...

And almost immediately the meat comes ...

Only the first round CAME in PERFECTION; medium rare.

After that it's OVER COOK!

And blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ...

I love the sausage and Spicy Picanha!

I am craving for BBQ sauce but there isn't any sauce provided for the meat.

OK I am just not a MEAT person, in the end all the meat tasted the same to me.

The chicken, and the pork is HARD and DRY!

And only the first round of Beefs are edible, but they tasted almost the same.

Even the highly rated Pineapple was blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah to me!

Too sweet, and I suspect the Grilled Pineapple is soaked in Sugar water before grilling, so its just SWEET! Hate that!

In the end, I love the sausage, and the Garlic bread.

Hahahaha what a waste of GOOD $$$ for me.

Maybe I should try out a more 'Pricey' (Atas) Brazillian grill to know the difference!

And they don't serve LAMB!

We paid USD30 for 2 pax and they are having a special for dinner USD20 per pax. Well, I guess it will be the last time I am coming here.

Why I no COOKING post?

I still cook and prepare lunchbox for Hubba like most of everyday!

But of course we still eat out or buy in, but recently I did not try out any new dish; so there isn't much food post and we usually goes out to eat like once or twice a week during weekend. AND because I am not 'adventurous', we always ends up in the SAME usual restaurant! Ya, I have a sucky life, hahahaha! When one gets older, we are stuck in that comfort zone refusing to try out new stuffs!

But still it's a rather 'boring' everyday FOOD photographs!

ENJOY and CLICK ON  ...

Meet "BIG BOSS" the Mafia Amigurumi Pug!

 "Big Boss" is a Italian mafia amigurumi Pug, and he is reputated to be fearless!

Every Mafia Boss, either has a gun or cigar; "Big Boss" has a chew BONE ...

ARE YOU SCARED?

Years ago, a friend has a dear old pug who passed away. 

And I called him at the wrong time (on the day, the pug passes) and for some reason I got a scolding from the mom! I can't remember why she 'reprimanded' me but I remember accompanying my friend to his Pug last resting place.

In memory of his beloved Pug...

I referred to a few design online and also keep referring to the pictures of the REAL pug. Pug usually have this 'n-shaped' snout.

I managed to recreate the 'n' but I am just not very satisfied with how it look.

Luckily Hubba suggested adding a tongue. 

Pugs being short-nosed dogs, always has their tongue hanging out; panting.

Hmmmm, can my pug passes for a pug?

After doing the usual 4 paws, and a body; I realised Pug has "CURLY tails"!

(About 6-8 Chain, 4 Single Crochet in each chain to get desired effect.)

And I added a simple Fedora hat and a Chew BONE to finish the look!

And this, is my 'Fierce' Mafia Amigurumi Pug!

And everyone calls him, "BIG BOSS!".

BEWARE, my blog is protected by a fierce Amigurumi PUG!

Bunnie my Easter Amigurumi Rabbit ...

I think I have Amigurumi addiction!

Josephine Wu from A morning cup of Jo shared a free pattern from her Spring Squishies' collection, and I tried out the rabbit's pattern but I couldn't resist not giving Bunnie a body because she is tooooooo CUTE!

I finished the head easily, and her pattern is huge!

The largest circumference is x42 stitches but luckily I used 2.25mm crochet, so the rabbit head is at a control size! I used my new 6mm eyes and 6mm Pink heart nose.

I even gave Bunnie a Ribbon!

And added blush on her cheeks, some eyeliner, and lashes too!

Finished the body and dress in one night too!

I am really getting FAST!

I only start to write down when I wrote this post, so follow at own risk and own understanding, hahaha!

Freehand for the body, didn't follow any pattern.
Feet - Magic Ring 6, 12 x5 rows
Body - Joint feet 24 x1, 24 (back Loop), 24 x2, (sc 2 dec 2)18 x2, (sc 1 dec 2)12 x3, (dec 2)6 x1
Skirt - Sc x3 at backloop, 3-5 half double crochet all around in each backloop.
Hand - Magic Ring 6, (sc1 inc2) 9 x2, (sc 1 dec 2) 6 x5

Right after I stitched everything together, I crochet a yellow small basket for Bunnie to collect her Easter Eggs!

Bunnie actually has a finger but I don't know how to write that pattern, so I can only give a 'fist' pattern!

She is one of my Sweetest, Pinki-est amigurumi!

I gotten Hubba to name her and he says "Bunnie"!

So UNORIGINAL right ...

But I since I asked him, I have to respect his decision.

So she is Bunnie my Easter Amigurumi Rabbit!

And she is OUT collecting Easter Eggs!

Happy Easter Day, everyone!
