An Invitation To Mouth-Watering Dinner In Sacramento

MY LAST EVENING IN SACRAMENTO... dinner time was spent at my sister's BFF house.  She invited both of us for a special dinner, all homecooked!  That was what I love... trying out other nationality's dishes, their ways of cooking is equally scrumptious and mouth-watering!

For the three of us, she practically prepared a feast... LOL... we surely could not finish them all.... 

Started off with an appetizer....
I went rice-less.... 
Wouldn't want to fill up the space in my stomach with the carbo... 
LOL.... 
Vietnamese wrap with 4 shrimps and homegrown vegetables from her garden...
I love this dish....
Squash with shrimps, long beans with coconut milk.... 
Slightly spicy which is good for me.... 
I ate a lot of the squash...
Taste something like a combination of yam and pumpkin... 
How I wish I could fry my fish this way.... 
My fish always ended up "semi-naked" if not "naked".... 
LOL... 
And a big bowl of desserts....
Red beans, bananas, sago and coconut milk.... 
It was not so sweet so I ate quite a lot!
This is a feast to me!
The dinner was about to begin....
Ooopsss... let's have one for the album....
Thank you, D for the scrumptious dinner!!
Till we meet again some day....

    What a delicious meal! Love the wrap, the squash dish, fried fish and red bean dessert. That dessert sounds very rich and thick! Something like a thick pekat tong sui.

    I love that pumpkin masak lemak, looks so delicious! I wonder what fish those are - looks good too...and of course, the Vietnamese rolls. Just bought a whole lot of prawns - I think we can have that one of these days!

    So where are you off to next, after Sacramento? That is where your sis stays, right? Going over to your son's place now to start babysitting?

    The food is so pretty, and looks very professional, like in a restaraunt.

    I like such gathering!! Home-cooked is the best, can taste a bit of this and that.

    I learn to fry fishes so you can say I am skillful when it comes to frying fishes now. Hehe.

    I love home cooked meals and this one looks great. Love the wraps, prawns and fish. The dessert looks a bit think but I think the banana makes it yummy. I have yet to taste Filipino food.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
