Tags Galore!

Warning!! This is going to be one really long post. I owe a lot of tags/memes from so many wonderful bloggers. So this is my attempt to clear my 'debts'... hehehe. I kinda liked the way Nick did his tag marathon so I borrowed his concept for this tags galore:D

I was tagged by the lovely Shana and the clowny Nick for this meme (I've no idea what the name is!). You are to link 5 posts you've written in the past that correspond with the 5 keywords listed below. Then, tag at least 2 more people (preferably new acquaintance) so you can get to know more about them. It would be nice if you read the linked posts and leave your comments as well. So here we go....

* Link 1 must be about FAMILY

• In Loving Memory

* Link 2 must be about FRIENDS

• Dear Pen Pal

* Link 3 must be about YOURSELF, who you are, what you’re all about

• The Life And Times Of A Padi Girl...

* Link 4 must be about something YOU LOVE

• Shoes To Die For...

* Link 5 can be ANYTHING you choose

• Haunted Area (18SG)

And now I'd like to pass this tag on to these 2 great bloggers!:)
Barrett and Sally

Tag Number Five: The Food Meme.
Adrian of First Time Dad tagged me to list 5 great places to eat. So here goes...

Dave's Deli
My all-time favourite dish is their Ox-Tail Soup. It's simply mouth watering. Before this, Ox-tail sounded extremely foreign to me, I mean why would people wanna eat the tail of an ox? But after trying dish for the first time a few years back, I was hooked on it. Unfortunately, some of the Dave's outlets don't carry this dish on the menu anymore.

Caprilla (Kota Kinabalu)
This was my favourite hangout with my office mates back in Kota Kinabalu, way back in 1995-1996! It is located at Wisma Merdeka and there was also one at Centrepoint KK. I've no idea if they are still around. I hope my fellow Sabahan bloggers will enlighten me on this. My favourite is their 'Beef Spaghetti' topped with loads of cheese on it!! Yummy, simply to die for

Esquire Kitchen (Lifestyle's OUG Plaza)
This restaurant serves a variety Chinese food. The food is tasty, affordable and the place is clean with a nice family kind of ambiance. I've tried a few of their outlets in different locations but the one at Lifestyles OUG so far is the best. I guess the chef there is pretty competent and serves up some really tasty dishes. I can't give you a specific favourite here but I'll say, try all the dishes :)

Soto Stall at KingDoo Coffee shop, Kota Kinabalu
This typical loud, noisy and hot coffee shop has a stall that serves one mean and tasty soto! (Indonesian noodle soup). Located on the ground floor (just below Telekom Malaysia) at Sadong Jaya, Kota Kinabalu. Again, I'm not sure if they're still around since I haven't visited that place since 2000!

So, now you know my favourite food haunts :) Now I'm gonna tag Shana & Cindy cos I really wanna know where their favourite haunts are, and I know some of them really love eating ... LOL! Sorry peeps, no pics!
