I was initially hesistant of dh's reaction when I served him this. It was an unfounded fear because he liked it, yohoo!! Reason for my joy was that if he didn't like it, then I would have to swallow the whole can all on my own.

Kim Gary Restaurant, Queensbay Mall
A chance visit to the mall on Monday, we were happy to be seated immediately for dinner. Great beginning to an even greater meal. One thing for sure, I'm always confused with the numerous forms for their ordering system, so to save myself the frustration of flipping through pages and pages of different forms with different colour codes in order to indicate the item that we would like to consume, I normally would just dictate to the waiter our choice. They would be more familiar with which page for which form since they work there, no? Yes, that's the downside of having too many choices and promotions going on at any one time. Kudos for their innovative idea to come up with something new constantly, but to slap your customer with a thick black book of forms is not my cup of tea.
Whever we order, we try to vary our choices in a way that we would get one noodle and one rice, and not two noodles or two rice at that. I had the Korean noodle fried egg, ham and 2 chicken wings. It came with a side dish of kimchi as well. My set came with a drink, and I chose iced milk tea.
Our side order of baked assorted mushrooms (button mushroom, enoki mushroom and abalone mushroom) in creamy white sauce. Something nice to blend with the spicy curry in the next photo to bring down the hot index.
This was dh's choice, baked seafood curry in puff pastry, and we get a choice of either to have it with rice or bread. We choose the former. This one took 20 minutes of preparation, so be ready to wait. It was a big portion that can serve 2 pax, which we didn't know of till the food arrived. We were stuffed to the brim trying to finish this generous portion of prawns, mussel, squids and salmon swimming in the curry sauce. Worth a try, no regrets.
Total, we paid about RM25.00 for this meal because we had a birthday voucher that entitled the member to 50% discount. That means it worked out to be about RM50.00 inclusive of tax.

Kumato
This was how the exquisite 6 pieces of pricey (double ouch!!) Kumato look like, ranging from dark brown to dark green to dark red. They were firm to touch, and according to one of the google results, it ripens from inside out. There's even an official website here dedicated to it. And no, this is not genetically modified at all, on the contrary, it is 100% natural.
So far I had eaten these unusual Kumato by themselves, both slices and wedges. Love them to bits, deliciously sweet and tasty. I had finished half a box, left 3 more. Not sure if they can last me till I try them out in recipes as they are so simply irresistable every time I open the fridge door.
Looks is deceiving, and yes, I had been deceived, happy deception in fact.

Shopping basket again...
Out of the photo below, only one was from Wilton, which was the bottle of sugar sprinkles. There were a variety of colours to choose from, but what caught my attention was BLACK. Reason being that black is a very difficult colour to obtain, what's more, to taint the sugar black would be a challenge. So far my luck of playing with black colour always result in the end product being grey.

Pan-fried Chicken
Excuse the charred skin, a result of using too big a piece of chicken which was not de-boned. Took me quite some time to get the inside to cook. Paired very well with potato wedges and some slices of tomato.
