Newsflash:
Miss Japan is Miss Universe 2007!
Most embarrassing moment: Miss USA fell hard on her bum during the evening gown parade! *gasps* Then, for no apparent reason the Mexican crowd started boo-ing at her. *double gasps* Really, that's so rude!

Memorial Day holiday


We slept in. Adrian went for a hair cut and we ended up in Hoboken; home of ol' blue eyes Frank Sinatra.

This chic town was rather quiet today. Most people were out of town due to the long weekend. We found a great parking spot underneath a shady tree and made our way to Washington Street (main street of Hoboken).

My stomach was set on Karma Kafe. Had eyed this particular place for quite sometime :)

Karma Kafe's daily lunch buffet priced at $9.95 per person. This was what I ate. It was good but slightly toned down. Good value for money though. The waiter was very attentive. He could have sought a career in Bollywood too, if not waiting tables *winks*.

After lunch we took a quiet stroll along the tree lined street. If it was a Friday or Saturday night, it would have been heavily populated with the hip & young and bar hoppers alike. Today was calm and everyone looked doe-eyed and happy to soak up the sun. Summer is finally here!

Spot the jay-walker, u-huh!

Fast food nation but Hoboken has many restaurants to match the appetite of its colorful inhabitants

Scenes from the Hoboken waterfront

Apart from the usual sun-bathers, there were anglers and those trying to catch a crab or two. No such luck today...

Fishing rods all lined-up with no catch

Since we already had lunch, we stopped by Satay for some sweet, sweet dessert!

One of the best Malaysian restaurants in New Jersey serving authentic satay, roti canai and many other traditional Malaysian dishes.

I wanted chendol but they ran out of it. *sniffles* Had this peanut pancake instead. Not a bad choice either ;)

Ice-kacang with all the good stuff i.e. attap seeds (nypa fruticans), agar-agar/jelly, grass jelly, red beans, sweet corn bits, etc. inside the shaved ice.

Who could resist Malaysian milk tea with sago pearls (chen-chu nai-char)? Nope. I didn't think so ;)

Overall, it was a very nice and relaxing day for us. But, the long weekend is over. *sigh*
