Figurines, Frog & Food

Look at the dinosaur figurines. Coincidentally, all the dinosaur comes in pairs. One is on four, the other on two. So I tried to arrange them in this position, and see, aren't they perfect? I know what are you thinking, you hamsap! Err, pot calling the kettle black, I'm like that too, gee.


Wait, out of topic. Kenzie boy sleeps like that now. Does your kid sleep like that too? He looks like a frog. Boo!


We had some time that day, so we took the kids out for jalan-jalan. I always take pictures (of the food) when we (could) eat out because I always feel it's a rare occasion, hehe. Believe me, ever since having Kenzie 3 years ago, we seldom go out, eat out, make up, dress up & show up! Ahem, nice phrase, eh?

Anyway, back to the topic, that afternoon, we settled at Ichiban Ramen, located inside Jusco Cheras Selatan - the hub's favorite. We ordered fried ebi for appetizer. Prawn tempura served with a simple salad.


Next, we also ordered gyoza for appetizer. I must have gyoza if I dine in a Japanese restaurant. I can't live without gyoza. I heart gyoza so very much. Talking about gyoza, whenever I dine at Esquire Kitchen, I must order their Shanghai dumplings (woh-teep), either the fried or the steamed ones, or both. 12 each. Means I can finish 24!


The hubs had beef ramen. It was so good. The soup was very flavourful.


I had the chicken karaage ramen. Don't ask what is karaage, because I also don't know, haha. I only remembered the menu written as karaage. I didn't bother asking the waiter what is karaage as there was a picture of this in the menu, so by looking at the picture, it looked safe and ok, so I just went ahead and ordered this.


Kid's meal at RM12.90 per set. Fried rice set with prawn tempura, sausages, assorted balls, jelly and a Vitagen.


Spot that cute adorable Hello Kitty plate? Wait, I have a Hello Kitty water bottle too. Let me put my picture here first. Say cheese!


Needless to say, Kenzie did not touch anything on his set except 1 piece of jelly and he finished the whole Vitagen. 

Lord, please help me. I am willing to do anything to see Kenzie eat normally. Please answer my prayers, Amen.

He still small la, doesn't know what is this position.. When the figurines couldn't balance or when they dropped, he said "ooops, what happened?"

    1. Yep, I don't like the way he zzz too. This was taken by my mum, when they were zzz in my mum's house the other day.. She whatsapp-ed to show me.. I told her to keep an eye, or interrupt his sleeping position.. Imagine his fingers would be twisted if he tried to turn his body around..

      Delete
    2. Yeah it is true that mothers are supposed to help the babies sleep properly as twisted fingers and sprained arms often happened. I was a victim and my mum always said I slept like python!! She said I let the blanket coil me up and gagged my throat!!! Then I was not python la. I was having battles with python in my sleep la!

  5. wah, you can eat 24 gyoza at a time ah?? hmmm, now i wonder how many hamburgers you can eat at one time?? neh, like that Ah Chan from TVB, he can eat 30 hamburgers at one go, so you can challenge him or not?? and no need to guess lah, since you have such a big appetite and stomach, you ate your own bowl of ramen and then most of the tempura and gyoza, plus whatever Kenzie left there on his plate?? :p

    1. Oh yes, I can eat 24 gyoza at one time.. Neh, I like to dine at Shogun, kan? In Shogun ahh, sometimes they gyoza (sometimes they don't).. When they have it ahh, I will sapu all the gyoza and the chef/waiter would have to replenish again, kekeke.. Errr, hamburgers, I don't think I can eat 30 like ah chan la.. But fish fillet burger from McD, I think I can eat 10.. The fish fillet burger very soft and not very big, can telan la..

    2. OMG!!! 24 pieces!!! She is bigger than the DBKL sampah truck la. No wonder berak seminggu 2 kali. Bwhahahahaha

  6. aiyoh, how come served the kids meal in Hello Kitty plate?? so disgraceful for a boy lah.. they must have a few sets of those cartoon plates mah.. like Hello Kitty, Barbie, Hanna Montana for the girls.. and for boys probably Ben 10, Cars, Transformers etc mah.. and then when they see cute uncle like SK, probably Doraemon or Minions!! muahahahahaha~~ eih, come to think about it, maybe because the mother loves Hello Kitty herself, so she asked to have the Hello Kitty plate instead??

    1. Twice we dine here, twice also they serve in Hello Kitty plate for kids.. First time round, forgot to take pictures and Kenzie already dig in into the ketchup liao.. So 2nd time round, I made sure I snap pictures first when the plate came.. No other cartoon characters la, just Hello Kitty, kekekeke..

  7. hmmm, Kenzie boy doesn't want to eat things?? errr, one thing the elderly always say is that this boy "gam jik".. i don't really understand this term lah, but i think it could mean there are worms in his stomach so he doesn't have appetite and eat only little.. go to see doctor and ask for something to feed him lah, no harm trying also mah..

    1. Oh yes, we feed him Zentel liao.. But he is still the same after Zentel.. I remembered my mum fed me with Comandrin when I was around 6 years old, then when I poo-ed ahh (in the potty), then I look back at the potty, eeeeyer, really got worms wriggling on the poo leh.. But with Kenzie, no worms in his poo, just macam normal poo only..

  8. I often bring my parents to eat at Esquire Kitchen though their food is not the best and not cheap at all. Somehow their menu has some dishes that suit my very old parents and myself. Their one outlet is at the shoplots which allows the car to park right at their door for my mum to wobble inside fast.

    Replies
    1. Oh yes, agree with you.. My parents also like some dishes from Esquire Kitchen.. Price not cheap, they increase their price every now & then.. The price for 2 persons sometimes hit RM70+ if we "kiu soong"... If we only eat their noodles and order two types of "woh teep", then the price is around RM50+..

  10. Greeting from Pattaya! :)

    Lovely dino figurines. I dont think that is hamsap pose lah. Hehe.

    Kids are like that. When they dont eat, we as parents worry too much. My kids are like that too. Just make sure they drink milk and take some health supplement to replace the lack of nutrients. I also wonder when my 8yo girl can be more adventurous and eat more. Sigh.

    1. Elo, bet you are enjoying your holidays and eating non-stop.. Eat more, k? For my share too :)
      Yep, when kids don't eat, we, parents, "sum tong" (heart pain) pulak.. I'm hoping Kenzie will at least eat a normal meal once a day (solids).. He is always on milk and cereal only (Nestum)..

  11. When I was small, I used to tear apart figurines and dolls. The heads, arms and legs will come off. Don't know why I was so destructive. I see you had a nice Japanese dinner. I usually like to order Bento because there's a little bot of everything and in the end it is quite filling. Whoa! You can eat 24 gyoza in one sitting. They must be quite small right? But then I already know you got a big tangki and who knows I also can eat 24 gyoza :)

      Oh dear, I'm actually laughing when I read you tear off your doll's heads, arms and legs.. Usually girls will love their dolls to bits, and sleep with them, no? You somemore tear them off.. A bit like Chucky leh, female version, eeerieeeee...

  12. Do your sons take porridge? From my experience, I fed my kids with porridge when they were a few months old... then slowly slowly, the porridge became harder... and harder and when they have more teeth, I fed them rice... till today, they love porridge, rice, meehoon... anything asian...
    Maybe your boy didn't like rice because they are harder to bite... so try giving him soft porridge or rice with lots of soup inside.. :) My 2 cents..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. He dislisked porridge from small.. But he accepted soft rice (with soup) initially.. Then, later on, when he saw soup in his rice, he refused.. We had to scoop another bowl of rice, without soup, with just gravy (of any dish we cooked).. Goes on til today.. Hardly drinks soup, except those MSG soup when you eat out (and they give free soup), he loves those.. Duh...

  17. My son loves dinosaur too. Till now (primary 2) he is still playing with his dinosaur toys. And he loves to read stories about dinosaurs.

    Wah...24 dumplings ! Your appetite is amazing !

    1. I think kid not eating is a phrase le. Both my kids also experienced something like that. But as they grow, they will start to request to eat this and that. Did your boy snack on something before the actual meal ? Sometimes snacking at the wrong timing spoilt the appetite.

      Delete
    2. Nope I dont allow him to snack before meal times.. But sometimes if I feel desperate I'll let him.. Just to see him eat.. Haiz...

  19. Ai yo... You said that your son sleep like a frog. I can understand your frustration about Kenzie not eating all his food. Is he not feeling hungry at all? Is he fussy with food all the time? Sometimes, he can be tired or not feeling well...???

    Hope that your G is recovering well from chicken pox.
