: : Merry Christmas : :
Merry Christmas to everyone. About 10-15 min. left for Christmas Day.
Once the clock strikes midnite, it will be Boxing Day as celebrated in England.
Anyway, I’m off to clear up my blog readings.
Cheerio! And Merry Xmas again!
: : Yummy Turkey : :
Well, since I didn’t get the chance to have a nice Christmas dinner back home, I decided to do a posting on the Fried Turkey that I had at the Clarks. Beautifully done and the turkey was superb. They celebrate the Yule Celebrations which is about a week before Christmas.
Bob was the chef in charge of cooking the fried turkey. For preparation, he filled the pot up with water first and lowered the turkey into the water to see how high the water level would go up. He then made a mark of it and then removed the water. This is to ensure that there is enough oil inside the pot to cover the turkey AND not spill over the pot. Next, he filled it up with cooking oil up to the mark and heated it up.
Heating up the oil using a propane burner. The oil was heated up to 350 degrees F. Very hot, that’s for sure.

The turkey is slowly lowered into the pot. Bob did not put the turkey inside immediately but was slowly lowering it until the boiling oil subsided. Note that oil tends to spit and spat when it comes into contact with water so one has to be extremely careful when cooking with so much oil.
Finally, the whole turkey was in.
The smell that came out of the pot … absolutely divine. Everyone was drooling from the beautiful smell coming out of the pot. The turkey was left inside the oil for about 45 min.
And there it is : the golden bird. Puts KFC to shame, doesn’t it? :p

Finally, voila! Fried Turkey for Yule Celebrations. Compliments to the chef for cooking up the beautiful bird.
The spread at the table : cranberry sauce, Devil’s eggs, vegetarian stuffing (think we had two versions), vegetarian gravy, meat gravy, homemade mash potatoes. Definitely a lot of food and we were all stuffed at the end of the day.
But everyone still had some space leftover for Daniece’s trifle. Of course, that was like 2-3 yrs hrs later after we’d digested the food.

Well, if you’re hoping for a great posting of Christmas dishes on this site, you’re in for a disappointment. Doubt if I will have the chance to have a nice Christmas dinner, Western style. BUT!!! Nothing beats Granny’s homemade dishes. Can’t believe that I haven’t been eating Chinese in a long time. Also, a lot of photos to download, edit and get it printed out to send to everyone.
Then, on 27 Dec, my nephew is getting married. The most of the family is down for the occasion, including Lolly and Devong. And, I got a dress while in the US. Check it out. Nice leh! And, it was on sale too! Unfortunately, it’s a bit too long but what to do? Also, need to get it pressed after all that travelling and it being cramped into a garment bag. Well, at least now I know where to get the patterns from if I ever wanted the tailor to do another dress. Wonder if there would be copywrite issues here? :p
Another two more hours and it’s off to Kuching. So, tara people! Off to clear Immigration. *shudder*

: : KLIA ~ Satellite Terminal : :
Well, I’ve finally arrived in Malaysia, safe and sound. Hopefully, the luggage is also here, safe and sound. It was starting to come to pieces at the back and I hope that the luggage strap managed to hold everything together. Would be dead embarrassing to see my clothes flying around on the luggage carousel.
Oh, a little note about that old man. I think he was checking the sites visited by various people after they had left the INTEL booth but wasn’t sure. So gelik lah!
Anyway, am going to check out the massauers. Need another massage to ease my back pains. For RM28 for a 15 min, it’s a steal compared to the US$20 for 15 min at Newark International Airport.
Also looking for food. Plane food makes me hungry.
Catching the morning flight to Kuching at around 8 a.m. Arriving in Kuching near noon. Then, it’s off to some snoozing time. 🙂
Ciao people and Merry Xmas!

I swear that this old man helping to man the Intel exhibition counter is out to impress gals or shows that he is so smart. ‘s Luckily, he’s not doing it to me but to other gals. Another thing is probably because of me sitting here for more than an hour but he can’t chase me off. Ha! Doesn’t say anything about having a time limit session on this thing. So there! :p
These days, the whole world is getting more and more wired up with so many gadgets everywhere. I notice that now, I’m carrying a handphone, PDA and digicam so my bag has become really big. In another two more years, perhaps I can afford a PDA handphone to make my life easier. No laptop yet coz those stuff are too expensive and I still love my desktop. Ah well. Can’t play games that well on a laptop and besides, I still prefer the desktop big screen for games.
Cheerio (again!)!!!
(and that old man is moving around again.)
