Food Again...

Mum, Pa,

If you're reading this, do not worry about our food. We're eating well... I think you should be worried about our weight *grin*

Anyways, here's some of the delightful dishes we've conjured throughout the week.

And yes, we had it again... "The Lobster". But you know what? Nothing beats the first one. Don't know why but first time experience will always leave a sweet memory.


Lobster in the bag...












Lobster out of the bag... (this time, we spend slightly more on this baby, because it was slightly heavier)









Now the lobster's on the table. With the butter...





Tools of the trade...
















<<cut... feasting time>>



Lobster, gone....















Also, another pathetic case is the fact that there's no chili!!! And the chili here is made of tomatoes. There's peppered sauce though but its not like the ones in Malaysia. So I got Tabasco sauce instead.



Bread has been our staple diet. Kinda supplement for our rice. But bread is good here. We find Dempster's the best brand so far.




One of our favourite blend is oatmeal brown
















And also 14 grains...














We also love the honey oats but its a bit more costly.

We also pampered ourselves with grilled Halibut steak.



The actual Halibut fish is fairly huge in size,

and so the Halibut steak is usually from the tail end part of the fish. I would say that Halibut meat is a bit tough though.

Mrs, tried something very brave. She did her pancakes using root beer instead of milk. They were a bit different and rather smooth. But not as filling as the one done with milk.





But the best of all was our fruit diet. Oh yea, we had cherries and they were really really GOOD!





Overall, we manage to stay alive with all the nutritious and good food available. But we crave for something spicy and so from time to time we'll be cooking up some Asian dishes. Care to suggest any?

Lobster At Last...

Ok, here goes. We finally did it. We ate the juicy lobster from Atlantic. It was GOOD. Seriously it was good - period!

And it was cheap too. We didn't buy the live one but actually bought the one that was already cooked for that day. It costs CAD 8 - which turns out to be roughly RM24. Its weight? Well, a 1/2 Kilo.

At first we thought that it wouldn't be enough for us so wifey cooked aglio spaghetti with scallops.





















(Just look at those scallops - we got it at a bargain too and they're big here. And those were just the small ones)

Since the aglio was hot, we thought we should finish that first before sinking our teeth into the lobster. But we just couldn't resist the temptation and the fact that those eyes (see below) were simply staring at eyes, saying, "eat me", "eat me", "...if you dare...."



















So we shoved the aglio dish aside, ready to take on the challenge and prepared ourselves. We didn't have the right tools, so we had to improvise.



And next thing you know, it was just us and the lobster.



Despite his futile attempts to run away



It was too late. Being serve for dinner was the poor guys FATE.

But we can tell you this, it was way better than Tg. Sepat crab, way better than PJ crab, way better than Jimbaran (Bali) lobster - which incidentally cost us RM 170 for a pathetic 300g lobster and definitely way better than your average crab sticks.

Good night everybody and we wish you a hearty meal. N'joy.

FUN FACTS --> Lobster season will end somewhat in mid June. So we have roughly 2 more weeks before this piece of heavan ends. There's actually a technique on how to eat a lobster. Before attempting to eat one, make it a point to read up on it. Just google it and I'm pretty sure you'll find some good advice.
