Nuffnang invited several bloggers to The Apartment Downtown @ Suria KLCC for dinner. It’s more of a meet and greet social dinner as a prelude to discussing some Serious Issues (TM).
We were served Cranberry Juice (great for UTIs) and a variety of starters which includes stuffed squid, pita bread with a curious combination of butter and cheese, stuffed eggplant, and chicken liver pate.
I think the last one scarred Pam a little…she’s a very PETA type person. I hesitate to label her as a tree hugger coz the reason she doesn’t like pork and stuff like that is due to the offense it instigates to her olfactory senses.
The main dishes arrived after that with highlights being the lamb, creamy melt-in-your-mouth cous cous, salmon with udon noodles and mussels cooked in curry. I notice a distinctive apprehension at my table whenever I took a mussel. I realized it’s due to my poor motor coordination in opening up the shell and spearing the flesh inside. Pam actually warned me not to send the poor crustacean flying. I think she also mentioned something detrimental to my well-being if any landed on her. 😉
The dessert was individually served with chocolate mousse, meringue (reminds me of Pavlova actually), and some peanut butter infused creation. It was great!
We adjourned upstairs to have a discussion about several pressing issues relevant to the blogsphere…
…before the camwhoring started in earnest. This is Tzia, featured blogger of the month.
Audrey, of 4 feet nine fame!
Pamela Song a.k.a. my nemesis! We’re just pretending to be nice here one. Posing for the digicam, usually we can be seen disagreeing vehemently. 😉
Carol Koh! I less than 3 you! =D
…and Rin.
Plus a lot of other camwhoring shots!
It was a great night of fellowship among the Nuffnang staff and the bloggers. It’s kinda like church and cell group meetings, except we don’t have a Jesus. 😉 It’s great for building rapport and all that corporate speak. I’m looking forward to the next one already. 🙂
Hahahaha religious talk!
wtf
Did u get lost to KLCC?? Hahaha……
Tan Yee Hou: Haha! The sense of fellowship is kinda like church (or NA/AA). 🙂
YilingL: Nope, coz I took the great invention known as LRT! 😉
I parked at Kelana Jaya.
OOO….now only i know that cranberry juice is a source to prevent UTIs… i’m gonna try them soon.,..
So It Is Written
A priest was lecturing on the Bible one Sunday morning. He said to the congregation, “You know, the Bible has an answer for everything. The reason for that is that the people in the Bible have all, at one time or another, been in the same situations you have.”
“Even PMS?” a woman asked.
“Yes, I assure you, PMS is in there. Tell you what, I’ll look for it and tell you the passage at Mass next week.”
So everyone goes home, and the priest is looking for the passage and Sunday comes around.
He gets in front of the congregation and begins his Homily in Mass. “People, I have found the passage in the Bible referring to PMS.”
“Really, Father? Where?” the lady asked.
“It’s right here in this passage where it says, ‘And Mary rode Joseph’s ass all the way to Bethlehem’.”
I’m in one of those moods… the cornier the joke the more i like it…
Our Jesus is blog ads and money 😀

Nice party! I hope I can join too. 🙂
Well not sure it a church get together but still very nice to be with other people. My friend is such a loner. He just stay a home readed and do computer and watch tv. Been burned by people so lived this life style now.
He said waiting for someone but who could this someone be? All he said was you and I will know when that someone appear .
is the food nice? i’ve never been there
Cranberry juice ftw
Sigh. My traffic too low to be invited.
Hb, thanks for this post. Re the cranberry juice, I would also add that sour red cherry juice is great for gout, which some might need to know, if they like chicken livers or pate.( I can’t have it anymore due to that). I dont have too many peta relates issues, but I dont eat veal anymore, and I never could afford foie gras anyway. I like mussels ok, and love oysters and clam chowder, but have never gotten up the nerve to try an escargot(snail), even though they are pretty much the same I guess. Strange. What was the squid stuffed with? I have only ate it as calamari; kind of like onion rings; sliced, breaded, and deep fried,, served with marinara sauce). Wishing you well.
Tom
Also, to DYMM Tuanku, thanks for sharing that joke. As one who has seriously considered becoming a Priest, I have heard most, many from other pastors. That is new to me. We are made in God’s image, and I reakon He laughs. Why shouldn’t we.
tom
cindy khor: Yeah, thus the popularity of vodka and cranberry juice in the late 90’s. 🙂
DYMM Tuanku: Haha! I actually found that really funny. 🙂
I guess we both have the same sense of humor. 😉
ShaolinTiger: Amen to that, brother! 🙂
aud: Yeah, it would have been nice to talk more to you too. Haven’t seen you since Singapore except for bits and pieces in screenings and such. Seating arrangement problems. 🙂
guest: She is still fresh and bubbly (and retains her wit too boot).
kampungboycitygal: Haha! Then die la, ajaran sesat already. 😉
The Messiah being a person and all. Heh!
Hey it was great meeting with the both of you that night.
WEEN: Oh, then you’ll just love the photos of her in a Catwoman suit. Meow!
Yatz: It was fun, meeting up with all of them. 🙂
tzia: Yeah, it is, very popular with women for that reason. Guys don’t get UTIs much due to the different configuration in plumbing. I think I’ve only got it once when I was a little kid.
hitomi: English? Why are we talking about English?
Oh wait, I know, don’t reply on the blog. :p
andrew: I thought it was alright…the food I mean. I really liked the chicken liver pate and would have eaten more of it.
pamsong: You have to catch me on MSN at night. 🙂
I’ll be online tonight, not sure what time though. =D
Leverage. I haz it. 😉
hyperX: Yeah, it’s a great get-together organized by the good people at Nuffnang. 🙂
Michael (Mike): Well, if he stays at home and don’t go out to meet people how can he expect to reasonably meet someone? Dodgy dating sites aside.
jolene: I rather liked the food. The chicken liver pate is great!
Chriso: I like the taste of cranberry juice too. Used to be the domain of ladies, but MEN CAN DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE TOO WTF. I’m glad you second that. 🙂
Simon Seow: The presentation of the food there was excellant.
tom: Thanks for the informative comment, my friend. I’m still pretty much okay in the food department, can eat what I want to. Yeah, we’re worlds apart but we have a lot of similarities too eh?
Wish you well, my friend.
wah this is one chics overload blog post! syok la you having all the good food and companion!
eiling: Haha!
Easily i am not against everything you saying but i need to exclude that you are not valid with this issue. Why that is known people convertd a lot in course of time? Can’t we just coincide on all causes? There was comparable symptom in our business.Decoding the issue want some concentrated analysis
Kudos for posting such a useful weblog. Your site isn’t only informative but additionally very artistic too. There are often very handful of folks who can write not simple articles that creatively. Continue the great writing !!
