I decided to come back to time today and post on a recent happening before it goes too stale :P. So I decided I will LURE you with a food post today (levian used the word “lure” haha!). But don’t worry! I don’t have a bunch of food to show this time so I doubt it will make you all go into hunger before lunch :P. Besides, it is going to be lunch soon! Hahaha!
So in conjunction of my mom’s birthday last week, my family decided to go to TGIF for dinner on the weekend.
Oh in advance, I only managed to get picture of my food, my family’s food is usually harder to take, and they are not really fond of the idea of me delaying their eating time just so I can take pictures. Sheesh! They don’t know my passion for writing :/.
My drink – Strawberry Lemonade Slush.
Now this drink was yummy! Sweet, and sour all in one. Very refreshing; not too sweet at all and the taste of the strawberry oh so compliments the lemonade.
I ordered beef as usual for my food;
New York Strip with Cajun Cream Sauce accompanied by Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potato and Boiled Brocolli (I forgot what it was really called for the broccoli).
Oh it was juicy and yummy~ I love the mashed potato too! Cheesy taste, creamy yum~ The broccoli was fresh and I like simple boiled vegetables. Sorry LR and molly for you both don’t take beef for religion purposes.
Of course I ordered it medium raw.
Don’t seem so raw… not much blood oozing out from the picture, but it did later :P. So, Ayie I am sure you wouldn’t be turned off by this picture on the beef hehehe.
The cake for my mommy.
My brother cut it before I could snap shot it (see that is how my family is… =.=) but I am sure you won’t notice :P. The cake is bought from Berry’s Cake House, a half KG Fruit Delight. Somehow became my family’s favorite cake. Fresh cream not butter, and filled with a lot of fruits.
Servers at TGIF sang my mom a Birthday song. Somehow a trend there for them to do so to every customer who are celebrating birthday there. Friendly servers and efficient; I wouldn’t say no to go there at all again :). Of course as long as I can afford the price it is fine ;).
Doesn't the title shows two thing? :P TGIF for today and of course the place my family and I went last week. Hahaha! Ok this ends my recent post :P. I will leave you all to drool over the food here for now.
Have a good weekend!

Long-tailed Shrike
Bhavesh : Awww... For a vege eater, you looked beefed up :). Train often?
tgiFRIDAY ....today, I mean.
seriously, when I ran out of ideas on where to dine in shopping centres, it's either Chili's or TGIF.
nothing to hate bout the large portions, wholesome and delicious meals, and laidback setting.
oh and developing a certain fondness for Tony Roma's as well.
J2Kfm : Oh Tony Roma's is good too... though I only been there once, but I do want to go back again.
The large portion are fine as long as we do not over indulge haha!
happy bday to your mom...belated as it may be, better late than never!
i am having brunch but that didn't stop me thinking what shall i have for a late lunch...maybe beef! yeah, hope the hospital cafeteria is serving roast beef today
eng
i prefer medium-well than medium-rare. blood makes me faint.
Eng : Oops looks like I made a craving yet again hehehe.
on my mom's behalf I say thank you :D.
Faisal : Oh... well, i like it medium raw just so i can taste the beef taste instead of too cooked and it will endup less beefy. :P
A TGIF post on a friday. How apt! :)
I was indeed lured to come here because of your post! LOL
Wish your Mom a Happy Belated Birthday!
lina : hahaha! most scheduled :P.
Hahaha! Now lets hope I don't end up luring you to TGIF for dinner. Else I will be culprit again XD.
On her behalf, thank you :).
Happy Belated Birthday to your Mom
Wah, you still can remember I don't take beef.
My friend who told me not to take beef told me recently I can eat beef, but not at home.
Happy belated birthday to the lucky mommy.
BengBeng : thanks on behalf of my mom ^_^.
molly : Oh? But you don't take beef becaus of religion purposes right? Well, if you're not the one praying to the "kwan yin" I believe, taking outside is fine as long as not in front of him. But I know quite a nmber of people that prays to "kwan yin" do'tt ake beef at home, but outside :).
on behalf of my mommy, thank you ^^.
good thing u can still remember i don't take beef too. thanks for the mention LV.
and happy belated birthday to your beloved mom. happy weekend.
Yeah, TGIF! But I rather it's TGIT! Thank God It's Today! So that it is TGIT everyday!!! Haha
OMG! You just "lured" me here with those food photos! Yummy!! I think I will definitely like the strawberry lemonade slush!
Medium raw beef - yum! yum! And I love broccoli!! Oh, btw happy belated birthday to your mom!
Btw, didn't keep many photos from your blog on my computer lah. So far just two - one avatar and the other your photo - to be used as FC linky love. And I only just copied them when I realised you were FC today.
Since you don't want me to put your photo, I will use some other photos here, maybe the food photos.
I have at least two photos from each blogger who ends up as my FC. But for Mei Teng, I have several cos she was FC on my blog for so many times and I did not want to use the same few photos all the time : )
Wow!! Yummy looking man!! esp the steak. Happy birthday Madam Law ;)
And I know this is a bit late..congrats on your marriage
It is a trend for restaurants to sing happy birthday to their patrons. Many buffets also offer free dinner for the birthday person, a picture taken by the staff, a free cake, and of course, the birthday song. Your mom's cake looks really delicious. I love cakes, especially the cream!
Happy belated to your mama LV! War...the beef looks so yummy. Too bad I cannot makan.
Hmm...I have never been to TGIF! there's no TGIF in malacca. :p
Life Ramblings : Oh of course i remember :). I featured beef a few times and you mentioned it so hehehe :P.

Happy weekend!

you make me hungry every time i do.
xD
damn i love the look of the cheese there!! :D

Mei Teng : Somehow all American restaurant serve big portions. I believe it is bigger in their own state haha!
conan : nooooo! don't please! T___T. I am not evil~
It is funny though, when I am not posting about food, you don't show up hahaha! :P
Well, look on the bright side... means it is time for you to eat! :D
sunnymama : Do you constantly have food craving after coming here? hahaha!
Belated birthday greetings to your mum? TGIF? Mighty expensive, isn't it? But anyway, it's only once a year... LOL!!!
P.S.
Tnx for dropping by my blog. Do come by often... I've linked you.
cream sauce, oh! dang, that taste nice as well. yup i love it! medium makes it so much more juicier, especially with the beef taste still remained in the meat while you chew through it. high five for loving the same thing! woot! nop, i am not swallowing my saliva while imagining it, nop! :p too bad i cant drop by TGIF, we don't have one here. you are in spore if i am not mistaken? ;) i get off around 515, so i figure yours at 630?
suituapui : Hahah thanks! Costly is it... once in while it is fine I would say :).
Thanks for linking me, I have linked you too ^_^.
levian : Cajun cream sauce to be exact... slightly spicy.. I think they use mustard that is why.
Oh yes juicier beef taste when it is medium raw... yummy! *high fives* hehee.
Oh I am not in Singapore. Not yet :P. You got no TGIF where you are at? Where you from? 5:15pm? So nice T.T I get off work at 6:00pm. >.<
cajun cream sauce i had not heard off, usually the choices are black pepper n mushroom. n i will stick with black pepper since it makes the food slightly spicy. yum yum! do you like your food spicy as well? :p what time did you start work? could that be the reason you stop working later? mine start at 8am. what do you do btw? if you don't mind me snooping a little. :p
oh, missed answering a question. i am from kuching, sarawak. n you? you had been talking about spore n i kinda assume that you are in spore all these while. yiiks. there goes the wild guessing. :p
belated birthday greeting to mommy dear! Oh only now I remember I haven't emailed you back...so so sorry. promise i will update you soon, as in.
just when I was about to compliment the beef dish then you mentioned it's still bloody! Oh well at least I didn't seee it in the photo =)
Yum Yum, so long didn't go to TGIF already!
levian : You just asked a whole lot in a comment hahaha!
Cajun cream sauce in my opinion taste like mustard creamier and a little bit spicy... but browsing through the world wide web, I found out they are really Tabasco sauce or red peppers XD.
I am not a black pepper person when it comes to meat like that :P.
I start work at 9am :P. Maybe that is why hahaa! I work as an HR Asst. I am from S'gor, Malaysia :P.
Oh I talk about Singapore more cause, it is safer to go out there than in Malaysia! Besides, my husband is a Singaporean :P.
Oooh from Sibu... Looks like a number of bloggers is from there :P.
Ayie : Thanks from my mom (on her behalf). Yea still waiting XD. But no worries... take your time, hun ;).
Well, the picture isn't bloody! So don't picture the bloody part ;).
Pete : Looks like it is a time to make a trip there :P.
levian : eh... how did I even managed to read kuching as sibu? Aiyaks! HAHA!
Yep tabasco sauce... well, least form the rcipes I found in the web :P.
Hahaha sorry for the confusion ;). I am a city KL girl... sadly since KL crime rate is so high, I do not go out much when I am in Malaysia. Anyway, going with husband is safer... he protects me... well, sorta haha!
Oh yes I saw XD. Our conversation are jumping all over! Everywhere!
ah, i tried NY strip at chilies last weekend. overcooked!
i hope that is a good sign? since it kinda shows that we are enjoying "digging" each others. woot! XD true, i do get kinda edgy whenever i went to kl as well. companion become necessary if we were to go anywhere. going alone felt sorta suicidal. :p
Faisal : Really where?
levian : Hahaha yes it is :P. It is nice to have someone to talk to... though the topic are running around everywhere XD. Sometimes I lose track of which is which haha.
Oh it is a dangerous place now... so better safe than sorry.
totally! it rocks to have someone to talk to! n i do lost track too. tracing back or recalling without reading the previous comment is completely impossible. XD true, it is understandable, especially these few years, when you mentioned not going out in KL much. we still go there every now n then for the sake of a bigger city than ours. i think you can imagine the temptation. :p
levian : Hahaha! I know! and the need to read back or even sometimes go about to other comments before commenting XD.
Ha yes, I know haha. Things we barely have, is things we want the most :P. Temptation~ Such a an evil word :P.
