Gu Yue Tien Chinese Cuisine

This is my mum's current favourite place to eat right now. It is located in Chulan Square, Kuala Lumpur. It was described to me as "Chinese Fine Dining". I have to say the food is very tasty and prepared super fresh.
We had some appetizers to start off - we had a smoked salmon treat which had coleslaw in the middle, wrapped with smoked salmon and topped off with fish eggs and a yam tart with curried minced chicken on top.
Then we had some dishes to share - I think these are scallops but I can't really remember now. It was cooked in an eggy sauce with brocolli.
After that we had spring chicken. Spring chicken kinda freaks me out a bit. Do we kill a really small chicken or is the chicken just naturally small? Or, is it really a chicken?
We also had fan favourites - salted egg yolk prawns and steam fish. The fish was huge and tasty and the meat was sublime... mmm... Just the way I like it... steamed with soya sauce and ginger.
We finished it off with herbal soup that had yam and we dumped in the vegetables... Frankie even made some prawn dumplings for us to cook in the soup too! Extremely fresh and yummy!! Good place to go for dinner!!

Kittens!

I just got back to Malaysia and of course, I had to go online straightaway... (yes, you should know by now what a geek I am). Anyway, I went into the study room and I heard some mewling and hissing!! I thought maybe another stray puppy was around but after closer inspection, I found a stray cat and her kittens into our house. The mother was being a bit hostile trying to protect her babies but we knew we had to evict them. The mother went MIA for a while so we (actually my dad did all the work... I was cowering in a corner because cats scare me with their vicious claws) tried to pick up all the kittens...



We found 3 kittens in the end. Here's a couple of them. They look quite cute but I seriously don't do cats.

Hopefully my dog Jacob doesn't invite her back in again. We don't want to have to keep evicting them!!
