Once again, I’m back to Sick Mode, remain as stay home BB, and the hungry ghost festive is just around, I’ve been warned not to go out late, not to drive fast fast, not to run here and there, so better still become a stay home baby lo. Sigh..

The Makan Maniacs gang who the founder is Dasolve, and supported by Saf and HuiLee has once again organize a food hunting gathering at the newly open restaurant in Miri City, called CITRUS. Best of all, its my pleasure that I manage to join the Makan Maniacs gang from MC.NET for this round of gathering.

To be exact, Citrus is located at Sylvia Road. You must be puzzled, where on earth is Jalan Sylvia.. it’s is the same row as the Nissan show room at town, somewhere at the T-junction of Old Dewan Suarah & Pacific Orient Hotel. I bet if you are driving from the direction of Cityfan to town, keep your eye on the right, you can easily spotted their banner stating, Citrus is now OPEN!

If still dunno, kindly refer to my laoya map! Thank you!

So now have you got the clear picture of Citrus? Still don’t know?? Google it please, google lao pan niang out of idea liao..

The ambient of Citrus are quite fresh in lime, colour combinations are from green to yellowish, that suits their name Citrus the best. Perhaps, I should have ask do they have lime juice for sale, then I’ll be their regular customer for that juice*.

There are supposed to be 15 of us for this gathering, and Hui Lee has put the great effort to made us a reservation with a long L-shape table, to ensure that we have our “BIG BUM” rest assured.

I was there on time at 7.30pm. Most of the faces I met up for the very first time. Thanks for their warmth welcome, I feel like I’m in their family

L-R: Saf,Jerry,Dasolve,HuiLee and Me *Why I’m the only White!?*

They are the long lost brothers, aint they look alike huh? I mean from size, Ooops. Sorry Dasolve. I hurt your little heart. Kekeke.. (L: Jerry, R: Dasolve)

Having some good times hearing their lame jokes does make the environment much more livelier, as if compared everyone just sit there looking at the menu right? Jerry and Huilee are the big entertainers of the night, without their laugthers I might feel lost too!

Somehow having a L-shape sitting might be a problem to communicate with all the members. I did not catch much with the guys on my left, maybe the next round?

L-R: EF-JL’gf, EF-JL, Stratos

Then beside me.. there are the pretties and the pinky.
Hmm..

L-R : Cheesecake a chemical engineering student in Curtin, TEAMGD who works at Ranhill and Pink-Eclipse.

I was really surprise to know that Pinky is actually 19 years old boy. My main concern, I thought Pink should be a girl. Sorry.. Blerk!

HuiLee trying out Dasolve’s big equipment!

I’m lucky that I was sitting beside HuiLee, not only that she keep me entertain but all the food serve must be “taxed” by the founder of Makan Maniacs before serving to the one who order it. “Taxed” as in, we have to take photo mar.. we have to do QAQC mar.. that’s the procedure…

For the very first round, the beverage were served. As I’m a sicko!, hmm, I go for HOT MILO. I heart the mug they use.

Caught in act!
Team GD wore her yellow blouse and had a yellow drink.
PinkEclipse should have dress himself in Pink as he was also having his pinkish drink!

About the food review, let’s Dasolve the maniac to play the role. Perhaps I feel a bit pressure to write it, if I write it too good, people will start commenting that I am advertising for Citrus. If i criticised it, Pn.MarinaTan my former english teacher, will definitely kill me off, and you can’t see me again. Hahaha..Why would she kill me, cos Citrus is owned by her son! What a small small world!

But kepo-kepo must say a bit la, I love their menu, its good for fine food that I would love to try occasionally. From the feedback of the members, most of them says the food is acceptable, and everyone finish their portion, that’s a respect to the chef right?

As for myself, I ordered the Citrus Breaded Chicken, which is recommended by CheeseCake to me. I found it a little bit too dry. Maybe I am just too sick, shouldn’t go for those heaty food!

Breaded Chicken RM 15.90
Hot Milo * but they charge me HOT Chocolate price RM5.50 *suppose RM3.50* nvm.. cos I also dunno how to differenciate milo and chocolate =.=
Tax RM2.14
Total spent for my meal : RM23.55

L-R : JCCH and Gray100684
They are busy having their meals, I do not have a chance to talk with them.. er, me a bit shy shy mar..

aLEX, please don’t play with your pasta…

They first tell me that LEX is a busdriver, my head pop-up with lots of question marks. But I know that’s for sure its a joke. Only then they reveal the truth that he is a designer, and I strongly believe those who live for art has their special characteristics. This is how special he is, he customized the pasta menus and ask the kitchen to prepare for him. End up, aLex.. how’s your pasta? Taste good?? Kekeke….

Saf and Cheesecake - Love Fondue.

One of the special menu that really bring my attention is the Chocolate Fondue. I’m a big fan of chocolate fondue. My last tried of fondue was at Singapore’s Swensen. There’s still improvement room needed for Citrus, keep up the good work

Tempting ley?!!!
I know…I know…

When the food are all digested into our tummy… the two funny guy start to BBQ the leftovers. Hey.. you guys are a bit too creative, 2 of you add up can be 50 years old already la!…..

Stratos and Jerry are just tooooooooooo creative. They are trying to make fun by BBQ the fries that I left, using the candles from the fondue pot.

They even act cute!!! OMG!!!
Cheers Tom and Jerry!

Maxi came very late, he dropped in around 9.30pm just to catch up with us.

Google laobanniang says, she’s RESERVED. Did anyone put deposit yet???

Last.. of course the group photo , together with the Owner of Citrus, Mr. Kelvin, the son of Pn. Marina Tan.

Sitting L-R: LEX,SAF and KELVIN.

The gathering dismissed at 10.15pm, I’m not sure if they have second round or not but for sure I have to go home already. My condition does not allow me to play so much, later my aunty will angry with me. Kakaka..

Citrus was full house last night. Proven that their reputation is good, everyone would loves to give it a try. Like what Pn.Marina has told me, his son has big interest in cook, and he has been in Singapore for quite some time. That’s why I always say… I love MIRI, cos MIRI is full of POTENTIAL and CAPABLE people!!!! Keep up the good works, all the best to CITRUS~
