Real Scottish!!

SeeKi and ZhiVen came over all the way from Malaysia last week!
It was nice to see some familiar faces around.
And since they came alllll the way from Msia... we decided to make the best Scottish experiences for them!!!

We (Marc, Nick and I) persuaded ZV to eat haggis, tatties and nips, while the rest of us had burgers!!! [someone taught us that the best way to try haggis is to trick a friend to order it while you order something u like to eat and then 'try' it of the friend's plate!!!]
Hence, I told him the story that haggis is a four legged animal (2 short front legs and 2 long hind legs) that loves to jump around on the hill and only found in Scotland so he should try it since he came all the way here. But the truth is... haggis is more than just that!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis)

Haha.. His face was not very convinced and he asked us if it is supposed to taste like this!! We all tasted haggis in the end. And to be honest, I quite liked it =). The texture is kinda like minced pork but the taste is strong with herbs and smell of lamb!


This is the haggis, tatties (potato) and nips (turnip).

After that, we had deep fried Mars bar as dessert. It was ok.. nothing spectacular. It's just like melted chocolate inside the batter.


Doesn't this looks like urethritis?!

They were only here in Edinburgh for a short stay but it was fun having them around. Already missing the moments where ZV choke slam SK in public!



Although it was kinda embarrassing when Mr Fong Zhi Ven decided to 'pop' a wet towel in a seafood cafe. Literally everyone in the cafe turned and looked at us. The best part was Mr Fong saying "its been a long time since I popped something!!"
Ahh good times =)
