Seoul Korea Restaurant, Taman Danau Desa

It was nice of Yoke Chen to come visit me in Taman Desa sometime in September. We went to Seoul Korea Restaurant in Taman Danau Desa for our dinner. The dinner came with lots of free side dishes (similar to other korean restaurants). Thus, we ordered only 3 dishes as the side dishes were sufficient to fill us up.

Kimchi-Ji-Qae (RM16)

Dol-Sot Bibim-Bab (RM17)


So many plates of yummy free side dishes


Hae-Mul-Pa-Jeon aka Korean Seafood Pancake (RM22)


Total damage for the night inclusive of 15% tax = RM60.50

Raymond Lam regards Michael Tse as a rival

Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Bobby Au Yeung attended the promotional event for TVB new series Men with No Shadows. Raymond expressed his role as a Devil this time is special and uses a new 'do-as-one-pleases' form of acting. To Raymond, it was a great challenge. Asked if he feels pressured replacing the popular hit Lives of Omission? He said: "Its not pressure, it is actually better to replace the series because this can lead viewers in continuing the pursuit for our series too. I should actually be thanking them instead. Although I haven't seen Lives, I heard it was outstanding. I hope we will all get up on the Top 5 together in the end of the year awards." Do you have confidence to defeat Michael Tse? "I don't want to win! It is OK for us to be in the contest together. I just hope, we will all just see it as a really good show that we are taking part of. I am actually thinking of what I'm going to wear when the time comes."

Bobby said: "Their momentum is so strong, that's why Raymond came back to promote the series even if he's busy shooting a film! I have confidence in the series!" He laughed and said he has high expectations for this series, and towards the 'TV King' title, Bobby said: "This year's TV King is mines, just missing Mr. Chan's one vote! However, after so many years I'm indifferent about the awards. Raymond and I settled it, if he gets the award, he has put the award in my house!"

Tavia expressed this is her 4th series this year, but she does not fear the votes will be affected because each one of her roles were different, there's no worries. Does she have confidence to defeat the hot favorite TV Queen candidate Fala Chen? She said: "Fala is good! In fact, there must be confidence, but people that know me, know I feel indifferent about awards, but I will put in the effort in the competition as well." Does she have confidence on the TV ratings for the new series? "Of course the higher the better, we will have to rely on Raymond Choking all the way." What about the accusations made on the series plagiarizing Death Note? She felt its just the plot that is similar.

Raymond Lam Goes In-Depth On Previous Relationship

Raymond Lam has been replying reporters' questions related to his bed photos leak lately. Here he discloses the inside story of his relationship with former girlfriend Pan Shuang Shuang.

The only girlfriend Raymond ever admitted is Rain Li back in 2001. Now 10 years have passed, a set of photos taken on the bed when he was with his ex are leaked and he never imagined he would have to confirm who he dated this way. This is the biggest difficulty he ever faced in the showbiz. But he feels blessed from receiving support from others.

"I get upset every time reading related reports. But I feel blessed. Many friends, including colleagues who I'm not close with sent SMS to me, leaving me encouraging messages. I feel better when I got a message from my dad. Family is number one to me."

Raymond met Pan on the set of movie "The Emerald and the Pearl" last year. They finally got together sometime after they were done filming. But because of their busy work schedule plus personality difference, the relationship ended shortly in January this year. Although it was only a short one, but Raymond was actually serious about her, even brought her to see his parents.

"Although I didn't know what would happen between us, but I wanted to develop a good relationship. My parents' impression on her? It was okay in the beginning. But because I would be affected by my partner easily, when I was in relationship with her, I wasn't focused enough at work. Like after I worked the entire day, when we were on the phone, she might not be happy. If her attitudes or emotions are a little different, I would feel down, my mood would be affected. People around me know. My parents would say things about it. But it's my problem that I can't balance my relationship and work."

Although the relationship ended shortly, but Raymond expressed he won't mind dating people in the showbiz. He believes then they could understand and encourage each other. This incident won't leave a bad experience for him when it comes to dating.

"Things are different. I don't feel like I was used. Taking photos...I'm those who rarely take photos even with friends. But she loves taking photos, I don't mind, I just didn't know...She did send SMS to me after the report came out. But I don't want to talk about it."

He might be used this time, but Raymond still praises Pan a good girl.

"I didn't give her a card to buy things. Instead she bought many things for me. She kept buying things for me when she was out. She was very caring. I could hardly take time off to be with her. Many times we could hardly meet up. I have to make a decision, family and career, then love, how should I choose? What is missing? Maybe the right time."

Most people are accusing Pan for leaking these photos on purpose and using Raymond for fame. Pan herself once expressed the photos could be leak when she lost her phone in the hair salon. She has turned off her cellphone and keeps herself quiet these days. Her manager disclosed they are still investigating how the photos leaked, and they have a suspect in mind.

"Shuang Shaung and her assistant had some argument earlier. The assistant knows the password of Shuang Shuang's computer. We are still investigating. Shuang Shuang is very upset. She was supposed to film a movie in early April, but it looks like we would have to see. She doesn't want to speak out right now because we are being bombard."

Raymond Lam popularity over popularity in the year of Rabbit

It's the start of the Rabbit year, Raymond Lam continues being busy in the three industries - TV, music and film. Along with Ads and his concert, he is a strong gold absorber. He's income is estimated to have reached 10 million. In the new year, Raymond is filled with confidence and also did not forget to write a word of blessing to the [Mingpao] readers. He hopes that everyone will have 'Sufficient Fung Clothing and Food' (峰衣足食) and is 'Fung Prosperous' (峰生水起). (TN: Raymond used his name (峰 'Fung') in the Chinese idioms '丰衣足食' and '風生水起' meaning 'well fed and clothed' and 'being prosperous' respectively. The characters (丰) and (風) in both idioms are also pronounced as 'Fung')

Raymond has been busy from the Tiger year and into the Rabbit year. Asked if he has time to meet a 'Rabbit Girl' girlfriend? He laughed: "Girlfriend born in the year of Rabbit is fine, but what happens if she's a Tiger? Won't that mean a lion? Relationships, leave it to fate! Perhaps I have to find someone older to fit me. It's more like I need her to look after me instead. I told Ron Ng before, perhaps we need to find an 'Ah Sei' (maid) to be our girlfriends because we have no time to take care of her!" The topic then changed to Linda Chung, Raymond expressed that it's just rumors, he rather rumor something that is more real, but first have to bear with his career. He really admires Carol Zhu giving behind the scenes support to her husband Andy Lau and for so many years too, it is not easy.

Declines job for family


Each year, Raymond gets busier and busier, but he insists on taking the Lunar New Year off to spend with his family. "This New Year, depending on where my grandmother is in Hong Kong or Xiamen, I will definitely be with her because in the last few years, she did not have good health. I want to have more time to spend with her. I declined all of my Lunar New Year jobs, even the large-scale Lunar New Year's Eve show in Mainland, I didn't do." In fact, since last year Raymond started not to accept jobs on Lunar New Year's Eve, he hopes to be able to countdown to the new year with his family, so he wants to be in his hometown Xiamen, convenient for seeing his family.

When speaking of his Rabbit year wish? Raymond said: "I am very pleased with the development I had last year, feels very rich. TV, music and film, I was developing in all three at the same time, including Mainland series and films, music album and concert. Recently, I completed the recording of my Mandarin album, it's work that I really want to be able to do this year. I hope I will have more jobs and no less, as well as new breakthroughs in the new year. In the new film Tale of the White Snake, a new frontier starts, taking in a new type of audience."
