homemade blues

It was more like filing... So many receipts and bills and statements that I just chucked to one side for the past year or so... Today, I managed to sort those in the bedroom. Tomorrow, will tackle those on that computer table outside. I still have some shredding to do (for those documents with sensitive info) but will get to that later. And I still have to segregate G's stuff from mine!

The drama today was - there was no electricity. From 6.30am to ~2pm. Funny moments include D waking up at 6.30am and asking me,"Why did you turn off the fan?"; and D asking me why the repairman had not finished fixing the "broken lights" when we got home from school; and finally D asking me why have I not "go to work yet".

While sorting, I managed to catch a movie I recorded on Astro - Joan of Arc. Well, suffice to say I pressed the fast-forward button most of the time. Not riveting enough. One down - many more to go...

And I didn't go to the gym today. Tsk, tsk.

Oh, I forgot. I wanted to write about Saturday night's dinner...

Tony Roma's @ Sunway Pyramid
We got there precisely at 8.30pm. They even called to check on us. Hehe. N and S were somewhere in Sunway Pyramid earlier, with N's son, and she gave us good directions how to get to Tony Roma's (at the skating rink area, one level above KFC).

After the usual hello-s and air-kisses, we delved straight into ordering - we were famished! - and G got to try the World Famous Ribs (and a full rack at that), which was slightly too dry to our liking, but were tender and literally melted off the rib bones otherwise. I tried the Grilled Chicken with Rosemary and Garlic (I think), N took the 1/4 BBQ Chicken, and S took the Lamb Chop. I could see that N's BBQ Chicken and mine were also on the dry side, but not so sure about the lamb.

We also had Tony's Asian Salad with Grilled Chicken, which came with a Yee-Sang-like dressing (and with the crackers, too), which N and I thought was a clever twist, but was somewhat a disappointment because the grilled chicken portion that came with it was rather small. N ordered a Baked Potato Soup which never came, so we cancelled the order. The other starter N ordered was the Potato Skins, which was rather nice.

The service was not too bad, the waiter was good enough to check that we all got what we ordered, and also was kind enough to point out that the fresh vegetables (the sides) only meant broccoli (they're out of the snake green beans). Huh? Bottomless beverages are the usual suspects (soft drinks and ice lemon tea) and we didn't order dessert because for one, we were relatively full, and secondly, it was only 10pm, and they were already calling for the last order. Hmmm.

Verdict: pricey, and didn't meet expectations. Better and bigger portions in Friday's or Chilli's. I'm quite surprised because I remember having a good impression when I first went with Liz to the Pavillion outlet. I can't remember now what we had then, but the standards should be the same, no? Err, now I'm reminded of the sub-standard fare of Secret Recipe @ Wisma Thrifty. Shouldn't be so forgiving.

Anyhoo, I was checking other reviews online and it seems that others already have the same "doesn't meet expectations" view. So much for World Famous. Oh well, at least they're pork-free and using Halal chicken and meat.

Moving on. Next one, please...
