hey tat was fast! ;p
Really happy to hv met u in person 😉
helo helo! happy Easter and nice to have met you too R! (call us if u go cari makan!)
sighs, another event that I couldn’t make it. Looks like you guys had fun!
But I have my doubts over some of the winners leh…I’m sure there are other lesser known ones which are terra-menerra too! But then again, I didn’t vote, so I’ll have to hold my peace til the next elections.
Happy Easter 🙂
Linked u to my blog~~wont mind rite?
Yay! That was fast! Very nice collage too… captures the spirit of the night real well.
And I’m certainly happy with the first winner since it’s my Saturday morning favourite (when I’m in town, that is).
Plus, the whole lot of us (well, just the foodbloggers and me) went to Ampang to try Burger Om right after the awards ceremony. It was every bit as good as it looked on video! 😀
Really? prefer weekdays or weekends? i’m alws on lookout for makan-kakis!
Saw ur camera..hahah..its gettin bigger hor..
qwazymonkey:
lol.. well, since this is the 1st awards the next one will probably be an even better representation of the real NO.1 (in its category) as more ppl will know about it and vote;D
Agnes:
helo agnes.. no prob and thx for stopping by
LFB:
ya lar.. i know.. don’t remind me about missing THE OM!
TNG:

Alas no invite for yours truly 🙁 Pity!
But no worries … I agree with the list, just need you to take us to Burger Om, Ampang and Aunty Gemuk, Kelana Jaya! Thanx 🙂
Only been to three. Still a long way to go! Raju, Samuri and Yut Kee.

yay im happy with most of the result esp village park nasi lemak
i missed this leh 🙁 but glad you guys have such great times
O & S laksa ? and the other category receipients , even Village Park?
omg , we are stumped ! The esteemed voters must be mostly PJ eataholics or Loyal Pj residents
haha !
But then again , thats the problem with this kind of awards ! 4 we would have turned it upside down ( coz we only agree with ciki)
what a blast at the party! to me, it was not just fun but inspirational as well. glad to know that there are champions like the enthusiastic friedchillies who stood up to promote the heritage which we all love so much. hearty, delicious local food!
drat, looks like i missed a fun night….
TNG:
can! faster add me on FB!
I think Village Park is overrated for their nasi lemak. 🙂
Gotta hand it to FriedChillies for doing a great job that night. Good fun! (Don’t forget to make another offer to Boo for the camera :-P)
