Dear readers,
Happy New Year!! I wish you all the best in year 2012.
Updates: This time's New Year Eve celebration was the best since three years ago. We checked into one of the city's hotel and spent our time relaxing, going for spa and jacuzzi. Dinner at this hotel was awesome too. We went for their special New Year Eve buffet. The buffet spread was by far of the best we've ever had. While it is not a solely vegetarian buffet, there are plenty of vegetarian food to chomp on too. The best of all is the Haagen Daaz ice cream. Yummy.
As it was time to countdown to the new year, we went to the highest floor and was the skylight from the glass panel. There were at least 20 firework displays at different locations. Very amazing! I made my new year wishes after the fireworks stopped and we called it a night.
I hope to be able to celebrate New Year's Eve in another country next year.
So, how did your countdown go? :)

Wedding Bells Are Near
My wedding is just around the corner. One and a half more months to go. Nervous!!!
Preparation has been very tedious. I'm very tired while being happy. I just really hope that the day will pass as soon as possible. But before that, Chinese New Year will be two weeks before my wedding. Time to reunite with my family.
Can't wait!
By the way, hubby has been diagnosed with high levels of uric acid. Doctor said that it's probably due to too much soy and bean consumption. Oh no. I'm finding it more and more challenging to be a vegetarian. If we can't eat soy or bean produced food (and I'm not even talking about mock meat), then what else can we eat? I need to be more creative now. With time not on my side, it's going to very tough. Any suggestions?

It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas
I'm taking a long long leave from work for this coming week, starting from this Friday. It's time to rest and reflect on myself for the year.
Merry Christmas to everyone. May you have a jolly good time and go easy on the food. :)

Soo Ser Yen Vegetarian, Kuantan
A couple of weeks ago, hubby and I traveled to Kuantan for a business meeting as well as to enjoy a short vacation in Cherating. In Kuantan, we tried looking for vegetarian restaurants.
We came to this shop and was amazed to find it packed with customers. So we thought this could be a good sign. The food was okay. But I wouldn't say it was exceptionally good, just good enough. I think if you'll let me choose, I still prefer vegetarian restaurants in KL. But things have changed now as I have decided to cut down substantially on mock meat.
Vegetarian Char Siew
Fried Mushroom with ..... (I can't remember the sauce)

Salad Bar, Damansara Uptown
I can't express how much I love this place. Whenever hubby and I feel like being healthy, we will drop by this shop for dinner. Just two days ago, we went to the shop for dinner after hiking the Bukit Kiara hill, not far away.
Normally, we always order one salad set and a pasta set to share. I love their soups, especially carrot soup. I loved it so much, I tried to make them myself yesterday. It didn't turn out quite like the one in the restaurant as it was a different recipe. The one I cooked was from an online recipe here. Trust me, it turned out yummy albeit I added too much ginger. Will definitely try it again.

My VG Vegetarian Shop - Setia Alam
Every since I tasted the wonderful curry laksa from this shop, I still can't get over it. It's creamy texture and flavor is very addictive.
Other than the curry laksa, I also like their bah kut teh. Now, I stopped eating the bah kut teh as frequent as I used to because there are many mock meat inside.
Unfortunately, other than the bah kut teh and curry laksa, the other dishes that I've tried have been disappointing. Don't bother ordering the fried mushroom or prawn. Their frying batter is so thick and oily. I've had much much much better fried mushrooms in other vegetarian stores.

I'm Back!
Sorry for not writing in such a long time. I had been busy planning my wedding.
Anyway, I have a few things to share with all vegetarians. About 4 weeks ago, I went for dinner with a good friend of mine. He wasn’t a vegetarian but we haven’t met for a long time and he asked me why I turned into a vegetarian. So I told him all the stories and how it got me to make this big decision. He later shared with me that his uncle was also a vegetarian. His uncle ended up eating a lot of mock meat and now he was diagnosed with excessive uric acid. That was scary! I didn’t become a vegetarian to acquire more health problems.
Since then, hubby and I made a pact to reduce our amount of mock meat intake. We only eat it if we have no other choices. I have resolved to cook more vegetables when at home and ditch the mock meat. Now, I need to find more creative ways to cook. But in the long run, it’ll be worth it.
