Graduation's Dinner At Chef's Lee II,Columbus,Ga

At Last, my youngest son Joel is graduating from High School. After all those years of helping with homework and assignment, driving to and fro to school and after school activities, I am ready to relax now. But still have to worry on what future path he is going to take. He opts for Culinary Arts, so wish him all the best.

After the graduation ceremony at University Hall,Columbus State University , we decided to have dinner at TGIF but when we reached there , they told us we have to wait another 1-2 hours. In fact there were not that busy. Every was hungry so instead we decided to go for Chinese Food and Chef's Lee II, located at Bradley Park Drive.

Chef's Lee is one of the upper class Chinese Restaurant in Columbus, It is very beautiful, like a palace. As you walked in there is a bridge over the pond with Koi fishes. Inside is decorated with antique Decor. Very vintage look. On the background is soft Chinese music.

There were 11 of us plus a baby, David. Joel, Mandy, Tham and Girlfriend , Charmant and Girlfriend, Henry, Me and Aaron, Jonathan and Rachel. Joan and John did not come as she was mad with Mandy.

We ordered Dumpling and Pu Pu Platter for appetizer. Looks like the Pu Pu Platter was not enough. For the main almost everyone ordered the Mongolian Beef, which is one of the popular dish served here. I ordered Crispy duck and one of the girls ordered Chicken Lo Mein.

Took about 15 minutes for the food to be served. We did not have to wait too long as they were not too busy after 9.30 pm.They served quite a lot of food. Everyone loved the Mongolian Beef, but my crispy duck were a bit dry. I also ordered me a Pina Colada. It was good.

After dinner, the waiter brought us the ticket with fortune cookies and fresh cut oranges. Ticket came up to $129.00 plus $20.00 tips.

I do recommend Chef's Lee if you want some good Chinese Food with Great environment. Cost is not too high. And they also Korean food , you have to ask for the Korean Menu.Every Year Chef's Lee is one of the Top Ten Chinese Restaurant in the United States Top Chinese Restaurant Competition. And this year, Chef's Lee is one of the top in the International Restaurant Competition in Beijing. Go try some good authentic food in Chef's Lee.

Lunch at O'Charlie,Alabaster,Alabama

I spent the weekend at Alabaster, Alabama. This small city has developed so much since the last 10 years. There is a Strip Mall with big businesses like Target,Best Buy,Books A Million and a Super WalMart.Also many great restaurants like Olive Garden, Taco Bell, Buffalo Wings ,O Charlies are found there.
Sunday, we had lunch at O'Charlie.
They were quite busy but we did not wait to long for a table. Nice and Cozy environment ,very clean.
We ordered our drink, coffee for me as usual and water with lemon for my husband.
The waiter was fast to bring us a basket of rolls. They were the best rolls, freshly bake with a sweet glaze on top.
We ordered the combination plate, a choice of two entrees, with soup or salad and one side order for $12.99 .
I had the Fried Country Catfish and Sirloin steak with Pilaf rice and Tomatoes/Tortilla Soup.My Husband had the Baby Back Ribs and Grilled Chicken Breast with Salad and Fully Loaded Bake Potato.
We got our soup and salad . I loved my soup, has a little spicy and tangy taste .I was already full with the soup and rolls.The waiter brought us more rolls.
Waited for about 15 minutes for our main course. The catfish was well breaded with cornmeal and fried to golden brown, the sirloin was medium well . I did enjoyed my lunch,but I did not quite like the rice, just plain boiled Uncle Ben's.
My husband's plate of Baby Back Rib and Grilled Chicken Breast has a fully loaded Bake Potato with lots of butter, and bacon bits, The baby rib was small, but marinated well. We could not finish , so we had leftover to take home.

Atlanta-Cafe 101

I had to drive to Atlanta by myself on last Sunday. Non of the people that promised could make it. My husband has to go to Albany to pick up his trailer. My friend Joan
cancelled the day before as she has to go to Montgomery to celebrate her ex-father in law's birthday and Elizabeth who worked at the Circle has to do overtime till noon.So I had to go myself as I promised to meet my son there.
It was a nice sunny day and traffic was smooth. I had no problem driving on that busy I85 North, till my son gave me some instruction to go on Exit 95 instead of Exit 94 which I normally used to go to Buford Highway, through Chamblee.
I was driving through some neighbourhood which I was not familiar for about 45 minutes, till I finally found my destination.
My son met me at Cafe 101 where he wanted to go for lunch. Cafe 101 had been there for a couple of years, but has been changing ownerships often. Before it was the 99 cents Chinese Restaurant. Well, I expect this restaurant to serve some speciality, maybe some good original Chinese Cuisine. But, instead the menu is the same with all those American Chinese Fast Food Restaurant. The usual General Tso's Chicken, Sesame Chicken and Mongolian Beef.
I asked for Fried Ho Fun, but the did not offer that. So we opt for Hot and Spicy Shrimp, Fried Egg Plant with Black Bean Sauce and Claypot Seafood Stew.
Our Hot Tea came but it was just warm. The white rice came in a cute covered pot.
Came the Hot and spicy Shrimp. It was just sweet, neither hot nor spicy. They supposed to fry the shrimp with light cornstarch batter, but just boiled shrimp.
The Eggplant looked good but when I tasted it, again not spicy and very bland, no salt at all.
Lastly came the Claypot Seafood. I expected to savor some good seafood with vegetables and fried tofu in a gravy base, but it was just some Seafood of 2 shrimp, a few scallops and slices of cuttlefish on some soup base with a few nappa and some taro. What ? Taro in soup? Looks like Foochow cuisine. Well , I wanted some Cantonese style cooking from Chinatown's restaurant. Again, very bland, the soup is tasteless.
However, The service was excellent . We had a few waitresses kept checking on us. I guess they were not too busy. We could not finish all the food,so I had to take the shrimp and Eggplant in a togo box.Rating for Food=Poor, Service=Good, Price-Medium.

After that went to Hong Kong Bakery to get some Buns and Egg Custard Pies.And to Ming's to get some Soy Chicken and Roast Pork.
And went to Old China Town area to get a hair cut.Left Atlanta about 4.15pm and drove back to Columbus at 5.45 pm.
I still had to go to work but I went in at 7.00 pm .

Hainam Chicken Rice for Sunday's Lunch




My husband comes home from out of town work on the Weekends. Instead of eating out, I decided to cook him his favourite Hainam Chicken Rice. This dish is very famous back home in Malaysia. You can find a lot of stores and restaurants selling Hainam Chicken Rice, especially in K.L and Ipoh. In fact I have a cousin who runs a small store at Chow Yong Restaurant , at SS 2, Petaling Jaya. They had the store for more than 25 years, and I think they had the best Hainam Chicken Rice.
This dish is very easy to make. First I defrost the chicken, (In U.S.A you can only buy frozen chicken) ,I used two chicken legs and one breast. Then I boil a big pot of water , seasoned with salt and pepper. When the water boils, drop the chicken in , usually I use the knife to cut a few slits of the chicken, cook faster. Cover the pot and let it boil for 15 minutes, turn down the heat. Cover for another 5 minutes, check chicken with a chopstick, poke and make sure no flesh blood oozes out. Then you pick the chicken out ,run with cold water. This make the meat tender, not soft.
Then I wash some rice, cooked on the pot with a little butter, and season with salt and sesame oil. Then use the chicken broth earlier, put a few scoops ,cover the rice, when star boiling, turn heat down. When all water evaporates, turn to very low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Cut chicken into bites size, sprinkle wit green onion, topped with a little soy sauce and sesame oil. And of course serve with hot chili oil.Use the leftover broth, to make some soup,season, add some green onions/chives on it,put a dash of seseme oil.
Wow, very Delicious, come join me for lunch.Very delicious home cooked dish in a foreign land. Next year I will be going back to taste some real delicious Hainamese Chicken Rice.

Little Malaysia-Atlanta,Georgia

Saturday, my son was having a party at his new apartment and my job was to cook for him. We left Columbus around 10 am, pickup a few friends and reached his place at Liberty Park Townhouse at about 12.noon.
He had already purchased on the groceries and I supposed to cook him some Sesame Chicken,Broccoli Beef, Curry Chicken, Rice,and Pop corn Shrimp and he fired up the grill to grill some chicken wings and drumsticks.
Most of the guest came about 2.30 pm .My Sister in law and niece came and they invited one Malaysian family. I finished cooking about 3.30 and we started eating and chatting and having a really good time, talking about old days in Malaysia and cooking recipes.While most of the kids, the college kids were playing video games and some well swimming in the crowded tiny pool.
More people came later, and the food almost gone.
We left about 7 and decided to go to China Town on Buford Highway to pick up some groceries. Since some of us still hungry, we decided to go eat at The Little Malaysia
restaurant, located at the corner of Asian Square. The sign is so small ,you hardly see it.
But this restaurant cooked good authentic Malaysian food from Hainam Chicken Rice,
Hokkien Mee, Nasi Lemak, Curry Chicken and Rendang.Also find some Roti Chanai and Ice Kacang. Cannot believe , you still can enjoy such delicious Malaysian food even though we are so far away from home.
We ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice, - steamed fresh chicken, cut up, with green onions and ginger and soy sauce and served with real Hainanese yellow rice, so fragrant. Also ordered the Beef Rendang, tendered pieces of beef stewed in curry and spices- very delicious, and not too spicy. We also had some roti chanai dipped in curry sauce. But I like to put sugar on mine.
At the end, we had Ice Kacang- like a snowcone on a bowl, filled with red bean, peanuts, agar-agar, lychee and top with red syrup and evaporated milk- this really brings back memories of the young days in Malaysian, where we go to the market to enjoy some real good ice kacang,.
Very satisfied dinner. Do visit The Little Malaysia next time you visit Atlanta. I really recommend it, if you love Malaysian food.

Happy New Year 2008

2007 Gone and Welcome 2008. I could not believe that the year has gone by so fast. And A brand New Year is ahead of us.Nothing major happened last year, we have no Hurricane, nor real cool weather in the South here. Gas was going up, and a little steady the last few months. Economy was not growing and neither was the stock market. But I know Google's stock has gone up to $700 since the last 2 years. I regretted not buying any when it was first listed.
A lot of businesses have been complaining that it was not a good year.Business was not growing . A lot of my friends who are in the restaurant business had been complaining about slow business. Maybe there are too many restaurants now, whether Chinese, Italian, Mexican or American.
It looked like Walmart is having good business because in Columbus ,Georgia here they have been 4 Brand New Super Walmart.
For Myself, 2007 is a peaceful year for me and my family. Nothing major happened, we sold our Hot Wings Restaurant, and I am able to have more time to venture in to other business while my husband got a very good and steady job but he has to travel a lot. This year I started my blog and wokandleisure is my very first blog. Though I did not earn much income from Google Adsense , only a few cents here and there, I was able to look in to many affiliates program and Internet business opportunities,and also learned a lot from ebooks and online communities. I also get to know a lot of online friends and buddies from communities like http://218876.lawnchairmillionaire.com, www.lazzeo.com/lai888, www.adlandpro.com,
directmatches,ojeez and www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/Laibiz

I have joined a few business opportunities. www.lai888.jerkydirect.com,
www.loftyprofits.com/?user=Lai88,
Lawnchairmillioaire.com and http://ladybug888.3500weekly.hop.clickbank.net
I have only received a few checks of $2.00 from Jerkydirect, but they have some tasty and healthy jerkys. I earned $60 from Loftyprofits but the have to hold till I earn $100 for me to get a check. Others, I hope to see more earning in the New Year ahead. This my resolution , to earn more on the Internet in the year 2008. I know I have a lot to learn and explore.
Family wise, everyone is healthy, my eldest gone to college in Georgia Tech in Atlanta. My youngest hopefully can graduate this year, he is not too enthusiastic in school.Spent too much time playing war craft on the Internet. Hope he can explore and earn online.
I got to learnt a lot from bloggers online. I really admired bloggers like
Johnchow, Shoemoney, Johncow etc. I wondered how people like John Chow can earn so much being a blogger. I loved to read www.johnchow.com, he really gave me a lot of inspirations. His blog is very interesting.
So out the old 2007, and in the New 2008. Hope this is a better year for everyone , whether on the Internet business or Brick and Mortar business. Hope every have success and a great year ahead, not only in the United States but around the world. In Chinese the number 8, represents prosperity.

Home of $25,000 Dessert Back to Business

The home of the famous $25,000 dessert is back is business, after health officials concluded it no longer home to mice and cockroaches.

Serendipity 3, a popular tourist destination on Manhattan's East Side, was allowed to reopen Tuesday, about three weeks after the restaurant was shuttered because of rodent infestation.

The famous sweet shop was closed Nov. 14 after it failed two inspections in a month. Inspectors spotted mouse droppings, fruit flies, house flies and more than 100 live cockroaches.

City Health Department spokeswoman Jessica Scaperotti said the restaurant had failed an inspection on Friday after mouse droppings were spotted. But it passed a followup inspection Monday night.

She said Wednesday that the agency will go back within 30 days for another inspection.

Serendipity's delectable menu items sometimes have patrons standing in line for hours to get inside. Its $25,000 Frrrozen Haute Chocolate — featuring top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle — was declared the most expensive dessert by Guinness World Records. It also offers a $1,000 sundae named Golden Opulence, requiring 48-hour advance notice

$25,000 dessert Restaurant Got Busted

Any one tried the most expensive sundae dessert yet. ? It must be so good that the mice love them too.
A New York restaurant that set a record this month for the world's most expensive dessert — a $25,000 US chocolate treat — has been closed temporarily by the health department after failing a second consecutive inspection, local news outlets reported Thursday.

WNBC-TV said inspectors saw a live mouse, mouse droppings, fruit flies, house flies and more than 100 cockroaches at Serendipity 3 on East 60th St.

The restaurant, immortalized in film and famed for long lineups, made headlines in early November when its Frrrozen Haute Chocolate — a blend of cocoas from 14 countries, mixed with five grams of gold and served with a side of French truffles — set a Guinness world record for the priciest dessert.

Next time you go dine in at an expensive restaurant, make sure you check the Health
Inspection Score and read the violations written on it.

Bento Box at Tako Restaurant.

After training at Atlanta, we drove back to Columbus,went to recruit a few people to join our great team at YTB Travel Network.We were hungry so I brought my friend ,Anita to have dinner at the Tako Restaurant. She liked Shasimi(raw fish) and I loved the Sushi there. They made some fresh sushi's.Also, the young guy that owns the Tako restaurant speaks the same dialect ,me and Anita spoke, Hakka. You can't find a lot of Hakka people in America, a lot of Cantonese and Fijians that speak Mandarin. When you meet someone who speak your dialect, you feel so at home.
The waitress brought us some Hot Green Tea. We ordered a combo plate with Shasimi and California roll and a Bento Box.
To start with , Anita had salad and I have Miso soup. The soup had seaweed and cubes of tofu in it.,miso based. Tasted delicious.
Then came our Shasimi plate, 10 pieces of hand rolled Shasimi, with a varieties, yellow fin, tuna and salmon . I don't quite like the Wasabi, too hot. I preferred with a little dip of hot pepper sauce.Also we have some California roll, Rice rolled in seaweed ,with some crab meat and avocado slices.Good with some pickle gingers.
Then came my Bento Box, a large beautiful Oriental box filled with goodies.
Came with 2 large Tempura Shrimp, so crispy, White rice, 8 pieces of California Roll, 2 pieces of Fried Sweet Potatoes,2 pieces of Siu Mai(steam minced pork and shrimp on a wonton wrapper)some tossed salad with great salad dressing, and a big piece of well grilled Terriyaki chicken on a bed of steam cabbage.The bento box is only $13.95 .And we could not finish the whole meal, a togo box was needed.
I also a small plate of Broccoli Chicken to take home for my husband. Tako Restaurant not only served Japanese but also Chinese cuisine. I liked the Japanese food better.They also have delivery service.
We were so full, and the whole ticket is only $32.00 (by the way he gave us 20% off)
It is good to go eat at some restaurant that you know the owner, you can get discounts or maybe free sometimes.
We were real satisfied with our Dinner, I recommend the Tako Restaurant, at Double Churches Road, in Columbus ,Georgia . If you come , please visit them, tell them I sent you, you might get a discount.

King of All Desserts- A $25,000 Chocolate Sundae


What will you buy with $25,000 ? I am sure can I come up with a lot of uses for it. Maybe buy me a car,go travel or put a downpayment for a new house.But,Would you spend it on some chocolate sundae?
A day after New York City came up with a $1,000 bagel, a local restaurateur unveiled a $25,000 chocolate sundae on Wednesday, setting a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert. This is King of All Desserts

Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe.

The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.

The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.

It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.

"It took us a long time to experiment with all the ingredients and flavors, and more than three months were needed just to design the golden spoon," Bruce told Reuters.

Four years ago, Bruce unveiled a $1,000 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence, a staple on his menu and a favorite with rock stars, socialites and other celebrities.

Both desserts are sold only with advance orders. Bruce said he has received inquiries about his latest creation, mostly from Europeans planning to visit New York.

"I wouldn't be surprised if soon we get a call from a Middle Eastern prince or Shah willing to give something sweet to his many wives on his next trip to the city," Bruce said.

On Tuesday, New York chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square unveiled the $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Sales will help raise funds for culinary school scholarships.

A Thousand Dollars Luxury Pizza


What is the difference? A Thousand Dollars Pizza from Nino Bellissima and a Five Dollars Pizza from Little Ceasars.
A New York restaurateur has cooked up the most world's most extravagant pizza -- a $1,000 pizza topped with six sorts of caviar and fresh lobster.

Nino Selimaj, who runs six pizza restaurants in New York, on Wednesday unveiled his Luxury Pizza, a 12 inch (30 cms), thin crust topped with caviar, lobster, creme fraiche and chives. Cut into eight, it works out at $125 a slice.

"I know this won't be for everyone but there are people in New York who can afford it and once tried, they'll be back for more. It is delicious," said Selimaj, who moved to New York from Albania about 29 years ago.

"Sure, some people will say it is just a publicity stunt but I have researched this for over a year and think there is a demand. I have already sold one."

Selimaj said his restaurant Nino's Bellissima, which is the only one of his restaurants to offer the Luxury Pizza, needs 24 hours notice for the gourmet dish as it orders the caviar in advance.

"But where better to experiment with pizza than in New York where people love their pizza," he said.

If diners are still peckish after the Luxury Pizza, they can always head over to the midtown restaurant Serendipity that sells a $1,000 ice-cream sundae called Golden Opulence which is covered in 23K edible gold leaf.

For a $1000 you can 200 pizza from Little Ceasars or Cici Pizza .,for $5.00 a piece with lots of pepproni and cheese ,with marinara and garlic sauce

Pho Vy -Vietnamese Cuisine






Having settled in United States for so many years, I have not dined in a Vietnamese Restaurant before. I knew nothing about Vietnamese cuisine. I thought everything is either spicy or sweet and sour. I loved Thai Food, but not Vietnamese.
There are a lot of Vietnamese and Laotians living in Columbus.Most of them either work in factory or owns a Nail Saloon. There is at least two Nail Saloons in every major Street in Columbus. I only knew one Vietnamese Restaurant. So about a month ago,we wanted to try out some Vietnamese food ,as I heard the Pho(Far) is very good.
We went to Pho Vy Vietnamese Cuisine on River Road. Located in a small shopping complex,the restaurant is brightly painted with yellow color, and simple decoration. Owned by a young couple, we see some little kids sitting around. Very cosy.
We asked the waitress to recommend and she told us the Pho no. 0 is very famous. on the menu Pho.Dac.Biet is a Combination Noodle Soup with eye round steak,well=done flank,marble brisket,soft tendon and beef tripe.
We also ordered Cha Gio-Vietnamese style eggrolls,fried (4 per order)Goi Cuon- fresh steamed spring rolls.
Another popular item is Bun Tom Thit Nuong - Vermicelli with marinated grilled pork slices and shrimps.Com Tam Suon Nuong -Grilled pork chop with Jasmine Rice.
For drinks we ordered fresh coconut juice and soy-bean milk.
We waited not too long even though they were a little busy, with no extra waitress and the kids running around. We got our egg rolls, perfectly fried and served with some sweet and spicy sauce , perfect!!!We amazed when our noodle soup is served, in a gigantic bowl, and lots of beansprout,parsley,lettuce accompanied on a side plate.
And the pork chop comes in a big oval plate. Very generous serving. The noodles was really delicious, lots of meat,really home-cooked style.
I am very satisfied with our first attempt on Vietnamese Cuisine. Will come back again.
PhoVy is located on 5156,River Road,Suite A, Columbus,Georgia
Open 6 days a week, Closed Wednesday.
