July 4th Celebration(Part ll )

Let's continue our July 4th celebration second part here.After we left Tanger's outlet,I suggested to Eliot we should have our dinner at Port Jefferson village.I like Port Jefferson,this place is a tourist attraction but it's has the serenity environment and the pace life here is slow.It's also surrounding by few rich people hamlets like Mount Sinai,Miller Place and Stony Brook.Mostly motorcycle riders love to group here during the weekend.I also used to work here one summer ago.. people sing at karaoke station in front of the shop lot and across the street from the ferries

we stop and enjoy the performance




near the corner of the Main St ,a Peruvian guy play his instrument for the restaurant customers.We decided to have our dinner here coz we love the music he played.

crank up your PC,listen to his beautiful music...
It's still quite early, we are not really hungry yet,so we decided to walk around the marine
actually we sat at the spot where the bride and groom took their photos.We just wanna to better view to look at the ferry but since we saw this group of bride and groom walking toward us,we moved to the side.We let them have our spot..We was curious why the bride keep letting her photographer took her red sneaker photos.

Mishu also imitate her move by showing her sandal! hahaha!

we guess the bride's red sneaker must mean something to her on her wedding day..

we wave goodbye to the ferry,going to Connecticut

Mishu intimate the eagle..it's a memorial statue for 9/11 victims

OK..time for our dinner..we go back to the village restaurant near the corner,where the Peruvian playing his instrumental. I love this Italian's loaf .

The outside of this bread is rustic and inside is so soft like cotton..I asked the server who make this bread,she told me this restaurant buy from a local homebaker..I'm going to look for this bread recipe,hope I can find the exect and right recipe..

I ordered a Steamer as appetizer.Mishu and Eliot refused to share this Steamer with me and so whack the whole order by myself!!! yaooooh! The sauce is really fantastic!!

Eliot ordered a Creamy Seafood with spinach soup.Mishu love this soup,they both share this bowl of soup until left not even a drop.

The server bring our salad with dinner*sigh* Eliot ordered 4th july special on the menu..Lobster with seafood over spicy angel hair pasta.

a whole lobster,mussel,clam and shrimp

and I ordered a seafood in mariner sauce over linguine,share with Mishu

it's comes with jumbo shrimp,clam and mussel

I like the food here,it's really taste good!! I'm sure we will come here again soon!

My drink:Pina Colada with Malibu Rum..love Malibu Rum,it's full of coconut flavor.The next day we headed to East End ,Long Island again..Stay tune for more trip post!

Dinovite

All my neighbours have dogs expect us.Mishu love dog and cat.She love my brother dog,Benny.Too bad Benny live half globe away from us.Recently one of our neighbour across the street told me that her dog,Babus stink big time!! She think Babus is sick and have terrible smell comes out of his body.Well,I recommended Dinovite shampoo and product to her. I know from a friend,who used this product for his beloved dog and the outcome was really fantastic!!
Is your dog itching, scratching and shedding like crazy!!Dogs SHOULD NOT Suffer Constantly !!It doesn't have to be that way, constantly miserable. Dogs should shed their coat about twice a year and not scratch year round. If your dog is itching and shedding constantly, that could be a sign of a nutritional deficiency. Your dog needs Omega 3 Fatty Acids, zinc and other vital nutrients to maintain healthy skin and coat. These delicate nutrients are destroyed in the extreme heat during the cooking process of commercial dog food. The lack of these nutrients can lead to excessive year round shedding and itchy dry skin, what a mess!! Beside supplement and treats ,Dinovite also carry dog shampoo .Dogosuds shampoo makes your dog smell CLEAN and WONDERFUL for a long time. It's also lathers beautifully ... and rinses easily! .it's also contains 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties •The most important it's contains NO CHEMICALS, NO PERFUMES, NO FILLERS, nothing to irritate or dry your dog's skin! You can choose a various of flavor and size of the shampoo to your dog likeness.Don't wait and let your dog suffer!! Act now!!

Our 4th July Celebration(Part 1)

We celebrated our 4th July(Independent Day) in Long Island,our home area..it's also in conjunction with Eliot vacation .He want us to go somewhere on his vacation but since Mishu have swimming classes , we can't change her schedule,we better stick to her schedule then wasting the $$ we paid. Instead we bring Mishu to Atlantis Marine Aquarium at Riverhead but sadly I didn't know this aquarium close at 5.00pm..If I know the aquarium close so early ,we should be there when the park open in the morning..Anyway,we just enjoy our 2 hours trip there:( the ticket is not cheap at all..we paid almost $70 for 3 of our tickets.

the weather is quite hot,so I suggest Mishu to wear her hat.She hate wearing hat.Even as a baby she refused to wear hat.

this place is not really huge like Sea world. it's took us 40 minutes drive from our home

at the front entrance of the aquarium



next to the ticket booth,there is a pond of Mr Ray swimming around looking for food-handout

Mishu keep hurry,going to next spot.We still didn't know this aquarium close at 5 pm,maybe Mishu have 6 sense!! her daddy said to her,why hurry?

she found a map on a bench!! she thought she is Dora the Explorer!

we found Nemo,Dory and friends here too

penguines

looking for Mr Crabby?

baby alligator,anyone? she is so brave!!

Mishu touching the alligator tail..

wanna to test your strenght or fear?

we all took a ride and I took some photos from the top as you can see

the view to see the park from above

the bay

where some boat owner park their fishing and leisure boat

another side of the park we was given $15 free arcade coupon and after enjoying all the games in arcade ,we was inform the park is going to close in 10 minutes.

we see another outdoor pond of Mr Ray's swimming around ,of course there plenty of shark fish and etc

after spending about $70 in the aquarium,Mishu get a Free Sponge Bob bubble tank!!

since the aquarium close at 5.oo m,we headed out from the East and stop at Tanger's Outlet just 5 miles away.But sadly I was informed the whole outlet closed at 6.00 PM because it's July 4th! Cis!! The only and first store I visit is Corning...luckily I bought a set of Pyrex's ware on sale!! hehehe! maybe I should come here next week again..

Mishu's swimming lesson

I enrolled Mishu for a swimming class as I mentioned in early post..Our township swimming pool open on 29 th of June so was the last day of the school in our district ..Mishu swimming class start on Monday but she can't wake up in that morning.*sigh* I'm going to have big problem when she attend school in Fall.So for now I set an schedule for her to go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning..no more following mommy as night owl..Mishu's is now going for 2 weeks swimming class for the level 1..if she miss any classes or it's rain,they not going to make up the classes for her..

since Mishu miss her first day,I make sure she go in her second day..her swimming instructor told her to kick their legs..
her swimming instructor,guide Mishu to glide but she have no idea what to do..
Mishu really scare of water...she scream if I wash her hair from top down..



she hold her instructor hands so tightly,afraid of drowning..
Mishu still have no idea what or how to learn to swim or float she grab the floater and put her whole body on it ...
next round ,her instructor lay her head on her body,guide her to float on her back
Ok..back to her spot.. ...waiting for her next turn..

after her lesson,I called Eliot to join us..I wanna him to teach Mishu what her instructor just taught her ..

Mishu is so afraid of water,she won't let go her hands and keep standing on the staircase of the pool

on her 3rd days,the pool director teach the girls and her lady instructor teach the boys,they both take turn to teach both group

Coincidentally the pool director is Eliot's school mate..

her pool director said whoever still not improve can't jump to level 2..

Mishu is in her own world..I don't think she can go to level 2 yet! Look!! she don't even look over her shoulder when both instructor is giving out instruction... Each day Mishu's daddy join her in the pool after her swimming lesson..tomorrow her instructor wanna them to jump into the pool..this step is a huge challenge for Mishu..I found my old Speedo gaggle for her,hope this gaggle help Mishu when she put her head under the water.I was sunburnt on the 1st day and until today my both shoulder is still hurt...poor me:(

Our Trip to Elmhurst,Queens

Here is the continue post from hair-cut posting..Warning* lots of food photos and prepare a napkin while drooling* lol!

Well after our hair cut, I plan our dinner and food shopping..While waiting for Mishu's hair cut,I called a friend who live in Elmhurst,told him I'm in Queens now..as he always remind me to give him a buzz if I'm in Queens..Long story short..he and gf invite us for a dinner..but told him we plan to have "black noodles" dinner a.k.a Hokkien Mee..Then they joined us for Malaysian food..

It's been years I didn't visit Penang restaurant in Elmhurst..I was surprised the whole restaurant was renovated and the ambiance is more classy..of course ,their prices go up higher too!!..no more $4.95 for a bowl of noodles soup..Now it's $5.95!! I like their hokkien mee coz they put "bak U pok"a.k.a fried lard!!

I ordered a "yin yong" for myself.that is mixed pan-fried keow teow and pan-fried mee hoon without eggs in gravy..if I order "wan-tan hor"it's comes with egg gravy.I forget that"yin yong" doesn't have eggy gravy*sigh*.I dunno why the do that..but it's been like that for years...I think all Malaysian restaurant in States or maybe in NYC apply to this style of cooking and menu..



this "black noodles" belonged to Mishu..it's really taste super goooood!! the chef who cook this dish know how to use "wok hei"镬气..that mean the noodles cooked in a wok over a high flame while being stirred and tossed quickly. my friends ordered assam fish head in claypot..this dish is not bad at all..just look red but not really spicy!!
they also ordered "malai fung kong" a.k.a watercress in sambal belacan..I understand Penang's these days cater to "kwai loh" customer but this vegetable dish is really strong in belacan!! also not spicy at all ..maybe it's me..my taste bud need extra spicy food!!

actually before our dinner I stop at one of the Asian market who carry lots of Malaysia grocery ..my friend advised me to grab some of the stuffs I need first,afraid after dinner the market will closed....I should come out early...but waiting for Princess Mishu to wake up*sigh* When I see ChanHong Assam laksa in stock,I grab all of it on the shelve!!

look at the food I bought!! some snack and sauces!! after dinner I saw another Asian market still open,quickly run in and saw they also carry amply of Malaysia grocery in stock..I guess recently all of the Asian market has new shipment..

this muruku is so-so not really spicy...maybe they need to add more cumin seeds!! Mishu help me to finish it,she said Skunk chips! haha!

more snack!! I think this snack will last me few weeks...

when I see this Plum Lime concentrated ,I quickly grab it...I still have some left from my last trip to Melaka.This assam limau kasturi drink is really good!! .I realised mostly all the grocery prices go up...Saw an ayam brand sardine at $5.30!! I told my friend,I won't pay $5.30 to eat Ayam brand!! Goya brand also same ma...right? it's like eating gold!!

found assam laksa paste right,don't forget to get "har koh"a.k.a shrimp paste(petis udang) !!

I like both brand of curry powder.Burung Nuri and Babas..Actually both of brand curry powder are the best!! For me there 's not much different in term of flavour and taste .of course bottom line the different is the price!!

I found a ready to cook "yee mein" from Malaysia .I didn't notice this yee mein sell here before,maybe new item....planning to cook soon and see how it's taste!!

Hope this "yee mien" won't disappoint me..hate when bought something it's smell stale!

I miss cendol so much,intend to buy the ready make cendol that display on the Asian market counter but it's really expensive!! so I plan to make my own cendol with this gula melaka!!

again buy some bowls!! but this time chinese style bowl...

and the rest of the stuff I bought!! don't have to chance to get some fresh seafood...coz they already closed the seafood counter.the staffs gone for the day...nevermind..there always next time!!

Mishu is ready to go home...after all the "hu-ha hu-ha"! These days she can buckle her own safety belt..big gal liao!!

Wherever Mishu goes,Minnie must follow too...time to take some nap on the way home...

Hair Cut!!

I'm had enough of combing and washing Mishu's hair!! Mishu cried each time I wash and comb her hairs!! I even used Untangled by J&J when combing her hair but it's doesn't help much..She still screaming and crying.Her hair was really dry and matted.She refused to wash her hair when she took her bath because she said it's hurt! Well,I decided to get her hair cut ASAP!! yes,cut away her hair!! The last time she had her hair trimmed when we had vacation in Malaysia almost 2 years ago..My mom bring her along with her to salon when she had her hair set..

Mishu was at a beauty salon in Elmhurst,Queens 2 days ago.I called a long time friends who live in Elmhurst when I reached there to ask for salon recommendation.I forget my friend had to attend her daughter high school graduation at Brooklyn Tech..Luckily,I get in touch with her younger daughter..Long story short she recommend her favourite hair stylish nearby..who is a Singaporean/Malaysian.

Mishu had her hair wash first and then cut.She sit quietly and unhappy to let the "aunty" cut her hair away.She didn't freak out or cry.Her daddy keep remind me not to cut her hairs too short coz she have round and big face.More importantly I must keep her cut hair and bring home with me. It's was her baby hair,we didn't cut her hair since she was born!

Look at her face....so sad...she keep saying "don't cut my hairs"!!
I requested the "aunty" cut a shoulder length style for Mishu..
The "aunty" blow and style Mishu's hair..Look better..right?

actually I love her new cut hair!! I keep telling her ,her new hair style look great!! Mishu said" mommy don't said it anymore"!! haha!! After Mishu hair cut,then it's mommy turn..I need a hair cut badly..just need to trim 3-4 inch away especially the dry end..In less than 1.5 hours we both complete our hair cut!! After hair cut ,we both go to have our dinner .It's quite late in the evening when we leave home about 4.30 pm...waiting for Mishu to wake up*sigh*.As usual Mishu asked for "Black Noodles a.k.a Hokkien Mee" ..so Malaysia restaurant we go...

TO BE Continue................stay tune the food we eat and food I shopped!!
