Secondly, a word of hello to all the other food bloggers that I met there (this way, I'm not leaving out any names!). It was extremely fun to be able to meet up with all of you guys and girls. I didn't take that many photos of the bloggers as most would like to remain anonymous. Of course, there were some bloggers I met for the first time that I recognised instantly as they aren't as shy as the rest of us and have posted photos of themselves before on their blog; notably-KampungBoyCityGal, Lim Mei Yen and Jason.
Sitted at the same table as I was, KampungBoyCityGal were the cutest and probably the youngest (?) couple around!
I enjoyed the taste of the Taquitos Fritos but it was a tad oily.
Ha ha....Yup, this was Precious Pea's Fish (Pescado a la Veracruzana-Lemon Sole in Tomato Salsa). Went over the border to take pics of her food for the night as we both chose different options. Precious Pea swapped food with her hubby, having the best of both worlds!
My chicken (Pollo a la Castellana) was definitely different from the rest, the nuts were missing (check out the pics on the other blogs) as it's suppose to be topped with a rich sauce of nuts, fennel and dried chilli seeds! Maybe they thought I was nutty enough???
My dessert (Postre Helado de Limon-frozen lime cream) actually came without the strawberry and I asked the staff whether they could put one on it so that I could take a photo. They obediently took it back and came back with the complete dessert look.After dinner, some of us adjourned to The Attic (Jalan Bangkung) for after dinner drinks. Those who showed up were rewarded with a slice of Nigel and Allan's best seller cake, Choc & Cheese (pics not that clear as the lighting was dim at The Attic). True to their name, it was Just Heavenly. Hallelujah! LOL...Thanks Nigel!
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening though the food at Sandias was just fair. Well, it could be the fact that they had to serve so many RSVP customers that night. I shan't elaborate more as other have blogged on their experiences for that night. The free flow of Martell definitely liven things and bloggers up more than usual. LOL! By the time this gets out, there could be 30 other bloggers posting on the same event! Ha ha ha...Check out some of these early posts :-

foodlianne: Not keen on Foie Gras but keen on Ninja Jones, maybe :o)
kok: If East Malaysia got floggers who don't mind joining, they are surely welcome leh...The strawberry must have been left out of the fridge for a while.
Precious Pea: Never mindlo, my chicken dish didn't have the nuts....what? Was there suppose to be a banana?

Rasa Malaysia : Floggers usually know how to have fun! We may not know how to PARTAAAY but we have fun! Ha ha ...

Even if i don't sit next to you, I will bring my plate over to your place.
Kah jie, you can't run away from keeping in touch with me ge la :P
What's the chicken dish called? The desserts (both ice-cream and cakes) look so tempting and delicious!
wmw,
I'm not a flogger leh. I'm just a "rojak-ger". Means I cannot join? haha! Next time I organise, you all from West Malaysia join lah. :P
Yea, I also think the strawberry has been left out of the fridge for quite some time already. Not fresh at all...
fbb really made his worth with the no of martells he kept drinking!
Glad you had fun but sorry to hear abt the mishaps yr table had with food.
tummythoz : Hey, we ALL know how to have fun....
team bsg : Thanks for the compliment??? Ha ha ha...
unkaleong: You can join in the fun when you get back here next time!
precious pea : ha ha ha....Then you must prepare something from home to feed me as I would have nothing to eat.
jason : Hee hee...yes my sweet little brother!
wonda : It's called Pollo a la Castellana (sauteed and braised quarter chicken topped with a full bodied sauce of nuts, fennel and dried chili seeds) but as you can see, mine didn't came with such toppings!
kok : You can be my guest, then you can join in lo!
boo : No worries....having too much fun to let things like that bother me....just hungry waiting! LOL...
arent you glad that i kept saying no when you tried to tempt me to the attic?? hehehe less man more share wei!
fantastic photo!!! the food looks super yummy!
I must say I enjoyed myself immensely that night, with Nisa in tow. It's because of you guys that she now believes bloggers are normal people though. (Before this, she only knew me, so her evidence 100% to Insane Guy.)
Next time, I'll do what the Martell Girls did and take a pic of everyone and tag it to a name+blog. Otherwise, aiyo how to remember it ALL? ;)
nice picture..must force kgboy to learn from u..any tutor class for free from u?
babe_kl: Glad? Don't say that....*sniggers at the back*
honey star : Thanks...but food was actually so so only lor
kenny : Glad you and Nisa had a good time. Like the Martell girls? Does this mean you will be taking shots of people in tight ass Martell (but Nisa says you don't have one!) jeans? Ha ha ha...
kampungboycitygal : Thanks for the compliment. I'm still learning but can always pass on some free tips to you all.
Great pics wmw. ;-) And nice to catch up again; over the 2 days I saw you. ;-)
You take care.
wmw,
Let's see if next time I'll have the chance or not. :)
Bah, ignore Nisa lah... she's just jealous. :P
Nigel : Yah, looks like we'll be meeting up more often! Great!
kok : We'll see ;o)
kenny : Ok, all you have to do is to parade your USB and we'll tell you whether we agree with Nisa or you! LOL..
was good to meet you wmw :). and it was pretty funny that i recognise you as the 'lady who blogged on KB' while u recognise me as the 'one who wrote on kemaman'..haha
yup, i agree with boolicious...i definitely got my RM60 worth, of martell if not food. but very small glasses lar, i think 3 glasses of theirs equals to 1 normal pack.
i didnt really have bad hangover lah, just tired. old oridi ma.
sc : Feeling is mutual. Here's to more meet ups!
fbb : Fbb, your words are still ringing in my head... the youth of today....LOL
