I've always been going on and on about how time flies but when I think of it - there's alot that can be accomplished within this short period of time. The weekend seemed so short but apparently, there seems to be quite alot of stuff I managed to do this weekend.
When D & D read this, they will be pretty upset but I'm sure they'll get over it.
Yes, I've finally managed to try out Fondue House in Hartamas on Saturday night. It has always been on the "To Do" list but never got around to trying it out.
There were 8 different choices/flavours of cheese fondue: 4 with wine and 4 without.
The bacon cheese fondue sounded good so we had that with the chicken fillet. Now I've read from other food blogs that the chicken tasted better than beef. But they've also said that the portions were pretty small. So we ordered the chicken fillet set with a side order of sirloin beef cubes.
The beef was the better one for me. In fact, the marinade made it tasty enough to eat it on its own without dipping it in the cheese. The garlic stick that came with the bread basket was pretty tasty as well. Crackers and a portion of bread (french loaf?) came with in the basket.
The cheese tasted familiar at first - kind of like the Alfredo pasta sauce mix that we used to buy. We almost finished the cheese before we finished the meats and breads. Additional fondue available, extra charge of course - and charged by the head it seems.

After that, it was time for dessert. There were 4 choices for the chocolate fondue: Chocolate Orange, Chocolate Whiskey, Chocolate Peanut Butter and I can't remember the last one actually. We got the lady to give her recommendations between the Chocolate Orange and Chocolate Whiskey - and so, Chocolate Whiskey it was with bananas and strawberries with a side order of marshmallows.
The chocolate fondue set comes with a little dish with ground peanuts with a little sugar, grated coconut and what appeared to be chocolate (Oreos?) cookie crumbs to dip on after dipping the fruit/cake into the chocolate.

I had a quick glance through the menu, they do lunch specials as well at that place. Dinner for 2 plus drinks came up to about RM 100. Yes - I would definitely go back again. I'm a cheese and chocolate kinda person.
After that, caught "Click" at Cineleisure. Its not a 100% comedy this one. There were people crying towards the last few minutes of the movie. So remember to bring the Kleenex if you haven't watched it yet - just in case.
Managed to catch "Napoleon Dynamite" on ASTRO on Saturday afternoon. There was alot of hype surrounding this movie as well. Since I've not seen it before, I thought why not. Conclusion - I kept thinking "What the hell is this show about?". Most of the main characters talk like they're stoned throughout the whole movie.
The only thing I liked about it was near the end when he does the dance. And only because it was pretty amusing and I believe it was to Jamiroquai's music.
Having said that, I can't believe that there are toys based on this movie. The sculpts by McFarlane Toys are pretty "sweet" though.

And today, there was a repeat of an excellent movie starring Harrison Ford - "The Fugitive".
This movie reminded me of a segment on "Attack of the Show" over on ASTRO. They were referring to a site dedicated to Harrison Ford. The gist of it was that the site labelled Harrison Ford as "Hand Solo" as he was always acting with his hands (pointing) in his movies. The site has photos/stills from various Harrison Ford movies with him in all the finger pointing shots. True enough, there is an interrogation room scene where Harrison Ford is pointing.
This segment also got me to thinking - Tom Cruise always seems to be running in his movies. Don't believe me? Go watch "Jerry Maguire", "Vanilla Sky", "War Of The Worlds" and even "Mission Impossible: 3".
