Cosy Place Wangsa Maju

I just have to blog about this since it was my 1st time having a really big feast at a restaurant. Me and family wanted to celebrate my dad's birthday, and i feel like wanting to try a new place. My friend recommended me the restaurant Cosy Place and asked me to give it a try. Before i usually dine in San Fransisco Pizza at the front of where this Restaurant is located.


the restaurant has a very nice interior design n it does suit the name Cosy place.
suitable if u wanna make birthday celebrations or even having a romantic dinner.




whenever Im in a new place, the 1st thing i'll usually order is a lamb chop. it doesnt mean anything, its just that i love lamb chop very much that i must try it in any new places i go..this one turned up nice, even better than the one in San Fransisco Pizza that i often go..good job my friend for recommending me to this place..heh

now the interesting part, my mom have always wanted to try a Lobster dish before, thanks to AFC channel who poison her too much on those kind of things..lol
so coincidentally, this shop have a lobster dish in their menu, stating RM18 per 100gm..my mom, being excited, straight away ordered it, TWO of them!
now, like most seafood restaurants, usually when we order something that the price have something to do with per grams or per kilograms, we would be given an option on the size of the meat we want. But the waiter here didnt tell us anything about it, took our order n went into the kitchen. "take it n go"..lol

then the lobster came..

HOLY~ that's one friggin' big..shrimp! i asked the waiter how heavy is this?
he said, "aaa..dunno"..lol
anyway it was quite nice..it was our 1st time after all..really deserve the title of King of Shrimps..lol
i somehow regretted i didn't bring my camera today, didn't expect that we would have something as cool as this tonight..haha

yummy~!

several minutes later, the chef came out to greet us, explaining some stuff about lobsters and ask for our feedbacks on the dishes(??)..i was like "Ooook~ mmm suspicious"
then few minutes later, the waiter served each of us sorbets, informing us that it was the chef's treat..again i was like, "Seriously??...Ooook~"


so now, after being impressed with the restaurant's superb hospitality, we asked for the bill..eventually, it was revealed that each of the lobsters weighted 1kg, making the total bill of our dinner close to RM500..muahaha
no wonder they served us very good, we were their biggest customer that night!! hahaha~
oh well it was a great night, we really laughed ourselves off..lol
anyway the food were delicious...we wont mind for another visit again later on.
lastly, Happy Birthday! Dad! LOL :P

Hajj Mubarak!

wishing all my Muslim friends Hajj Mubarak!



A lil bit about hajj :the journey of a lifetime...

The Hajj is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years to the time of Ibrahim (Abraham). Pilgrims join processions of hundreds of thousands of people, who simultaneously converge on Mecca for the week of the Hajj, and perform a series of rituals: Each person walks counter-clockwise seven times about the Ka'bah, the cube-shaped building which acts as the Muslim direction of prayer; kisses the Black Stone in the corner of the Kaaba; runs back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah; drinks from the Zamzam Well; goes to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil; and throws stones in a ritual Stoning of the Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate the three day global festival of Eid al-Adha.

it has been 2 years now since my journey of hajj..it really was quite an experience.
all the moments of hardship and calmness still live strong in my mind.

craving for carl's in Mecca? heh

those were some of the pics to show how it was...though the hajj is over for me, day by day im trying to improve myself to be a better Muslim..so that my Hajj will not be just a waste of time, but a truly meaningful one..

The Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.) says: In 4 occasions the doors of sky are opened and prayers will be accepted ; on the occasion of coincidence of the rows of fighters in the cause of God, when it rains and in the time of getting up for saying prayers and at the time of looking at the great Kaaba. source : www.duas.org

hope u guys get the chance to experience it one day!
