Pasar Bella / Happy day

" You think you want to leave, but all you want is to be asked to stay"
Had a terrible terrible Friday. Worst day in 2013. 
I'm going to make sure it never happens again, ever!

Saturday took a turn.. a really unexpected sweet turn. Went over to J's place to pass him a box of stuff, and he invited me for dinner with his family! DID I SAY FAMILY!!!!!!????
F A M I L Y  !!
He brought me out for dinner with HIS FAMILY O.O





I know meeting the family is no longer much of a deal since boys are always bringing girls home, but he's the kind that doesn't anyhow girls home so i was like omg damn happy la 疯掉 . :'D On top of that, I thought I was never good enough to be introduced to his parents.. .so when he did that unexpectedly, I was so surprised!!! 
And because I didn't know I'd be having dinner with them.. I was wearing denim shorts, a top and slippers. Yikes. What kind of impression was that !?! 

He suggested we go to Pasar Bella so his grand mother can go see how a farmers' market looks like. I big love how family oriented he is. You know if you are dating a guy who doesn't give a fuck about his family.. he probably won't give a fuck when you have your own family next time? Very bad !! 

We had our dinner there! They ordered oysters, clams ( if you go and eat at the seafood restaurant pls try the garlic butter it is the best sauce ever to go with seafood!! ) and a steamed fish.. which I thought was damn ex because you have to pay extra $10 for them to steam the fish for you -.- 

Couldn't resist the fish & chips here when every one else was holding a box of it.
They used red snapper for this.. and it's damn nice. I think i died and went to Fish and chips heaven. Despite the meat being firm, it wasn't dry at all! When you eat it , it will dissolve in your mouth. The batter was also very crispy! So happy!!! I can almost imagine the taste in m mouth now.  This is a must eat if you go to Pasar Bella!  I don't travel to a place specially for Fish & chips, neither do I order fish and chips when I'm in a restaurant because i don't think it is worth it? But this for $18... was worth every cent.. you have to try it to believe it... 
 Even his grandmother said this was her favourite dish out of all. She's so cute haha.  

Sorry the pictures are very blurry because i didn't dare to take pics of food in front of his parents !! lol

These meatballs on the other hand.. WERE ATROCIOUS! Just want to bring it back to them and ask if they are seriously serving them to their customers. The meat ball was damnnn dry. And these 8 pieces of meat balls cost $14 I think?? Ikea anytime please. Just listen to me and don't go near to this stall ! This was a regret dish.

When they were choosing fish at the fish market, I asked what his grandmother would like to eat and she said she is fine with anything. But because she can't eat raw food, so I asked if she wants to have rice, she said yes haha. She's damn cute. Old people are the cutest. Seeing her makes me miss my grandmother.. :(  Anyway.... so we went to get paella ! I thought it was ok only ley. The one at Marche fares better I think. This was about $13. Good to try once, not good enough for a second try! 

Went to the supermarket with them after that. I love grocery shopping!! I think it is a very family-ish thing to do together.. I would totally want to spend every Sunday doing grocery shopping with my hubby. Haha. Anyway it was a very comfortable Saturday, and I was very happy that he took such a huge step to reassure me ! Couldn't ask for more...


Don't dare to throw tantrums anymore :X

Pasar Bella at The Grand Stand

Hello!
Finally went to Pasar Bella ! :) 
I was so excited!! I have been bugging my friend to go there with me since forever!
Some visuals from today!

The shops inside Pasar Bella. 


We walked passed Seventh Heaven and I was super excited again because I have been wanting to try their ice cream after seeing repetitive pics of the the cotton candy flavoured one ( right cone ) on instagram!

I had the Granny smith's apple pie with cream cheese ice cream. 
Really liked the apple bits inside. 
The cotton candy one tasted pretty much like paddle pop.
$4.50 / scoop
$7 for two scoops!  
$11.50 per pint 

I thought the pricing of the pint was pretty cheap as compared to other ice cream shops! And at $4.50 per scoop, the portion was pretty huge! ( The ice cream was never ending) 
You can't have two scoops on a cone so we had an individual scoop each.
>:( 


colourful XLB hahah.. I think it looks more like a tulip! Anw who eats ice cream like that right!
 I love brown paper bag packaging. I wish super markets here uses brown paper bags instead!
Food that comes in brown paper bags always tastes better ! Don't you agree!!


Cute shop selling cakes ! Would have bought one to try but I was still having trouble trying to finish my never ending icecream. ( as mentioned previously) 



Seafood Paella

And you can also sample food from pork knuckles, to wine and cheese!

 They also have a fish market where u can have fresh sashimi and opposite it is a place that sells fresh seafood!

The eyes of this fish is damn scary right...It's damn big.It looks like those fake eyes thingy you use in arts and craft class last time. 



 The place that sells fresh seafood is called Ocean of Seafood !
I don't know if we are allowed to touch the seafood but my friend just KEPT touching them haha.

Hehehe ours!!

Once you have taken your pick, they will boil the lobster for you on the spot! And it came with miso butter and garlic butter.
OH. MY. GOD!!!
The garlic butter was damn good!!!  Like I actually wanted to drink the sauce up hahaha iKidding! but it's really so good! I thought this was better than The Cajun Kings!


Third and last lobster of July!
I've been eating so well recently right. 
Almost one lobster every weekend except it was crayfish last week which I couldn't eat because I think I'm allergic to it :(

Anyway there are other seafood like fresh oysters, prawns, crabs, clams, mussels and baby abalones! 
Can go try :) The garlic butter was really so good! Salivating at the thought of it. 

Pasar Bella was a lot smaller than I thought! But happy nonetheless that I finally came here . Happier that my friend accompanied me here despite only sleeping for 4 hours! Could live for simple weekends like this !

Anyway, on another note, I think I'm growing every day as a person.. and it actually feels good.
I learnt something yesterday, 
and it woke me up a little... 
I do not have to over think anymore, or feel that i'm unworthy for anyone anymore :)
Ahh... this actually feels really good.
