Atlantis Seafood

Sunday of two days ago was an insanely busy Sunday – was out since morning about 11.30am and only (technically) reached home for a good rest at 11pm.

After our Japanese class at about 5pm plus, we drove in two cars (Shawn’s and Mr. Qiang’s) to Atlantis Seafood, Kota Damansara. This was planned since last week when my Japanese teacher had this sudden urge to treat us for a hearty dinner on the pretext that we had been very hardworking , slaving over her piles of Japanese homework that we somehow magically completed (or in the cases of some people, magically copied wtf *cough*).

Atlantis Seafood – bright, cheery atmosphere. That’s Mr. Qiang (Lee-san’s husband), Lee-san (or Ms Lee) and Billy (Esther cruelly joked and whispered like a schoolgirl to me, “Billy-goat” wtf).

Esther is this 50-something woman who is a total riot that belies her appearance – she sat Shawn’s car on the way to Kota Damansara, and heck we clicked like anything (or rather Shawn and she did, scandal wtf). She joked with us like she was part of our clique, and constantly teased Shawn’s unfortunate girth and huge belly. It seemed a little bizarre as she has a son close to our age, and I bet she wouldn’t imagine herself teasing his son as she did Shawn.

A glimpse of part of the food (the blue basin on the left contains some water and slices of lemon to wash your hands of oily crabs wtf). Would’ve snapped lots of pics of the food when they arrived, but my mouth and fingers couldn’t tear away from the three different cooking styles of crabs (butter, wine-mixed, and steamed or something); clean, juicy fat prawns; and a plate filled with the freshest lala I’ve ever seen in my life, so fresh that when you devour the meat off the shell, it was literally squeaky clean and shiny.

Ding and Shawn fooling around.

We also ordered some mee and bowls of rice towards the end of the dishes listed above, as we the young’uns were still hungry.

Front row: Jeamie, Esther, Lee-san. Lee-san’s husband snapped this pic for us.

Dinner ended at about 8.30pm – we had a good time with the food and Lee-san’s extremely cheerful personality, don’t think I’ve ever seen her wicked mad or anything. We went on our way, fetched Esther back to her home in SS15, and wanted to drop by Jon’s place for DotA but we went back instead.

I went out again at 9.30pm to meet up with Siew Kiat at Starbucks Taipan for further discussion on our Laos/Thailand trip.. didn’t want to pay for overpriced drinks initially when I sat outside at the smoking zone, but after a while I got increasingly uncomfortable with the cancerous smoke billowing into my lungs and settled inside the air-conditioned section of Starbucks instead. T__T Which meant spending RM9.35 on one of their cheapest drinks: ‘fresh’ orange juice (would’ve loved a coffee or two but sadly my stomach rebels against it).

Anyhow played DotA with Jon, Shawn, Ding, and Alvin while waiting for Siew to arrive.. got disconnected when Siew arrived at the right time, so we had a good talk discussing our budget. Probably wouldn’t cost more than RM2,200 (including airplane tix!) at most for the entire 25 days we would be there..

Shawn, when volcano exploding? (ask Shawn for more info rofl.)
