Life Of A Borneo Gurl

Am still coughing all the time, and today, I had a bonus: Miss Migraine came and visit as well (of all the days), and refused to leave until the evening! So basically I was in bed all day long, with my head feeling as heavy as a bowling ball and eyes felt like being stabbed. Was pure torture. Had to take painkillers just before WC takes me out for dinner (luckily he’s back from outstation, as parents are away for the weekend and bro’s in China).

We ate for the first time at Jeff D’ Corner, a place that supposedly have the best steak and BBQ lamb in the whole of Kota Kinabalu. And my verdict? Riiiiiiight. Obviously a personal opinion when they said this. Because I don’t agree. And I’ll explain why.

My lamb chop and WC’s Mixed Grill (excuse the pic quality; used my cameraphone as I forgotten to bring my camera)

I can’t argue about the BBQ lamb yet (one of their signature dishes, I guess), because neither of us have tried it, but I ordered the Lamb Chop (RM11), and WC ordered the Mixed Grill (RM17). We were surprised that the food came quickly after we ordered (plus sign!), but I was a bit disappointed that the lamb portion was small (though they did try to make it up by having more stuff on the side dishes).

After having my first bite on the lamb, I was disappointed again. Not to say that it wasn’t delicious; it was more like.. nothing special to it. I guess after having heard that they serve the best steak and bla bla, both our expectations were high. But nope, we weren’t impressed with the taste of the food, what more of the portion (so little). Even after finishing my food, I still wasn’t full! WTF!

So yeah. We’d very much prefer Archies D’ Corner or Harris D’ Corner (portion-wise) or JJ Western Food (best value-for-money) any day as compared to Jeff D’ Corner. But don’t get me wrong people, Jeff D’ Corner still serve good food (and the waitress was SO nice to us, another plus sign!), but in our opinion, WC and I both think that it was just like any other normal steak eating place in KK; nothing memorable about the food, sorry to say (though the environment is okay.. not that hot). Maybe if we had tried the BBQ lamb, then we’d probably change our opinion..?

Okay anywayy..

Grabbed this pic of me from the Sony Alpha forum just now. Hehe.. Pirut took this pic of me playing with the 75-300mm telephoto lens during our TT Session. I’m sure this lens would come in handy one day, but for now, I don’t need any telephoto lens just yet. But me likey this pic, though!
