Seafood buffet at Restoran Tallipon

Nearly all CSS members converge in church for mass at 5.30pm yesterday to mark the start of our fellowship together for the new semester running into the 2nd half of the year. It was really nice to see that so early on even before we had any recruitment drive going on....there are already a few new members in CSS...Praise God.

Actually, we had a bigger agenda going on right after mass which happens to be celebrating Adrian's birthday, our Church Youth Ministry "tai low", which doesn't at all looks old despite his age. The entire affair was well staged as a planned birthday event, with all the presents and cards minus the surprise venue for our dinner which was actually Adrian's suggestion, because he hasn't gone there before. We surely do hope that our old peeps Sheena, Michelle, Jeremy, Vasan and the rest of the gang would be together with us. But it was still fun, the place we went to had a really weird name, someplace in Kelana Jaya nearby SIC church.... Restoran Tallipon, an open air seafood buffet restaurant.

Actually, I didn't know what to expect. Iggy was hoping that it wouldn't be seafood buffet cause he's allergic to most seafood fish....weird....and Amelia had been to the place b4 and didn't like it. Actually, it wasn't all seafood, there was lamb, beef and chicken. The seafood variety wasn't all that great...the usual stuff like prawns, fish, and crabs and vegetables, mushrooms, century egg. And we all had to cook it on top of some stove except for the vegetables... And I actually didn't think that the food tastes really great....maybe it was because of us... amateurs when it comes to cooking except for Daphne and Adeline.

About 20 of us just kept makaning and makaning till we couldn't contain it within our stomach wall. Iggy, had this weird polydipsia earlier on, he kept drinking and drinking, he even ordered Pepsi from a nearby 7 Eleven shop which was actually illegal, (NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS ALLOWED) and later on ate and ate until he told me he had pain in his abdomen... HAHA. I think our table ate the most of the lot, cause we had more guys than the rest of the table. Poor Adrian had to do some DBKL work on his table cause the girls just can't fit anymore. We on the other hand just keep eating until we nearly forgotten about Chef Adeline, who was cooking non- stop. But anyway, we guys still managed to coax her to eat.

Finally, the time came to sing the famous "Happy Birthday" song minus the cake cutting ceremony but of course not forgetting the birthday presents which made Adrian look even younger....well he's a youth leader right...so he should portray that image....so it ain't gonna be a problem.
