Food Bloggers Gathering @ Sandias, Plaza Damansara a.k.a Martell Klue RSVP

To be honest, i was actually quite intidimated by the fact that i was going to meet 30-40 odd people that i have not met before in my life, maybe a portion of them, i had some sort of conversation via the comments box..none i knew how they look like in real life unless they posted pictures of themselves on their blogs..well i knew one..an old friend back in Adelaide..but that was it..not to be helped i was damn freaking early..quite on the spot too..at 7.30..

First two persons i met was pioneer food review bloggers..Fried Chillies and Wai Sik Kai..basically the first two websites that talked about Malaysian food that i first visited..although its been quite a while since i dropped back there..got caught up with the "blogs"..and of course the third humble one was or still is a guest featured in Tummy Thoughts..

Things picked up when i met a whole lot of people..well i was still abit slow..being the shy person that i am..infact i publicly announced so in the previous post..that nite was really dependent whether you would go up and say hi first..and being a relatively new blogger..i was sort of "unidentified"..until i met the people on my table..before i ramble on..Thanks to Tummy Thoughts..she was the only attentive reader of them all to tap me on my shoulder and say hi..

I also liked particularly the unofficial rule of saying hi..firstly the norm is to say your name..then there will be a pause..simply because no one knows your name..then you say..yeah i am from XXX.blogspot/xanga.com..then there will be a pause..two options (a) yea yea..i visit b4..nice to meet you (b)..oh shit too many blogs la..but i shall visit urs one day..

Lets see..i think i can probably go on and on..the mere fact that the secret identities behind all those wonderful blogs was revealed..it was all in all a good nite of fun..So back to my roots..lets get back to food..

When you have free flow, and you need to calm your nerves to just go to a stranger and say hi..this is what you need..just a few more cups should do the trick..

Another version that failed terribly..straw seem too narrow for me to drink right through..

No its not a condom Nigel..The contents of course was chocolate..non alcohol i think..

Starting of with the starters..it was reasonable i guess..the veges seemed out of place..as you couldnt sort of eat it together with your spring rolls aka taquitos...the sauces were good..but i preferred my sour cream..

Just another view..whichever tickles your fancy..

Main meals include either chicken..as above..or fish as below..didnt try the chicken..portions were very minimal compares to huge plate they served it in..rice was heavily salted..veges seem err dunno..out of place i guess..

Substitute the chicken and you will get the fish..wrapped in foil..the fish was firm..but not firm enough..its like..the only analogy i got is breasts..but lets not go there..there maybe little kids around..

Finishing off with a dessert that had strawberry jam/sauce that was way too sweet that overkilled everything..

Luckily for the freeflow of alcohol..eventhough i had like 4-5 glasses..the value for money was there i guess..not to mention the chance to meet everyone of course..that was priceless..Ratings wise at the moment is still a poor 6.5 out of 10..may be another visit might change this abit..

Ok folks..to all those bloggers that i fail to personally talk to..or talk to..please drop me a comment..especially those that i have not actively visited..or had no clue what site you are at..looking to dramatically increase the links i have on my blog so i can keep track of this expanding blog circle..abit like my belly..it was definitely great fun..so many things i want to talk about la that nite..but cant remember now..so i shall leave it for now...Adios..
