Daddy's Birthday Celebration

17th November 12'
Saturday

Had Jap to celebrated dad's 50th belated birthday at Rakuzen, Publika.
'Happy Birthday, Dad!'
We had our own little private room to dine in. The room was neat & simple but the opening of the centralised air conditioning above me was blowing like a fan *brrrr* I had to switch seats with sis..
Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable experience in Rakuzen..

Here's what we had for the night..
Mine- Salmon set

Sis's- Soft shell crab + Udon set

Bro's- Teppanyaki Zen

Dad's- Sukiyaki

Mom's- Grilled Fish

Temaki

Dad enjoying his sukiyaki

Daddy & Mummy

Enjoying my Salmon set. They served a generous amount of salmon that is thick & fresh *Mhmmm*

We decided to keep in simple this year. Didn't want to get a full size cake cuz most of the time we'll end up eating a few slices & leaving the rest in the fridge for days..

Dad said,"This is the 'largest' cake that dad has ever had for my birthday".. He didn't mind at all as he himself suggested to just get a tiny dessert.. We hop over to Free Mori across the street & got this cute lil chocolaty thing :P

Friday

Back on KL soil after a week away for my holiday/caddying trip to north. Exactly a week ago I travelled with Mom, Bro, aunty Onn Na & her son, Brian to Batu Gajah for Sport Excel for junior tournament held at Clearwater Sanctuary Golf & Country Club. Right after this tournament ended, we headed straight for the next upcoming tournament in Bukit Jawi Golf Resort. It was an enjoyable & memorable experience. I'd say it was a perfect getaway after my finals :D Not gonna share in-depth bout my trip cuz there's too much to be shared. Plus, I wasn't on the picture taking mood so a blogpost with minimal pics wouldn't be that interesting after all..

Anyways, back to the topic.. we arrived in KL in the evening & was glad to have the boyfie to join us for din din as i've not seen, touch & smell him for a week long even though we did managed to skype for a bit while I was away. On this day itself, it's also daddykins birthday but we've already planned to celebrate it the next day for a proper dinner. After dinner, boyf, myself, sis & her date headed over to Publika for a drink.. We were bumming around the blocks in Publika & spotted Coffee Societe..

It was friday & only friday they have free flow of coffee from 6pm onwards ONLY at RM 10 #soworthit. To all coffee lovers, it's a place that you wouldn't want to miss on a friday night..

I'm not much of a coffee person but lately i'm starting to like coffee. Obviously, I'm no coffee expert. I can't tell which is the best coffee in town but I do enjoy a good cup coffee + good ambiance...

Counter

View from where we're seated. The cafe is nicely decorated & it felt so warm and cozy :D
Soon after we settled down, more & more people starting filling the seats. Before you even realize it, the cafe was packed.. Definitely one of the best spots to chill at night :)

We sat on the huge ass long table right in the center

Pretty Coffee Art

My 1st cup - Flavoured Hazelnut Latte. :D

Sissy's Mocha

Macchiato

Baby Cino. The cutest thing i've ever seen presented on a cute lil tea cup.

Lousy pic quality. Taken from iPhone's front cam >.<
but a pic with le boy is a must :)

Enjoying Baby Cino with sis *slurps*

I had at least 3 cups of coffee that night. Coffee overdosed but it was worth it. For those of you who must be thinking, coffee at night? HAHA. PS: Coffee doesn't work for me. Consuming caffeine won't help me stay awake. I managed to pig in right away after i got home :D

After coffee session, we headed over to Eckywoobee as the boys wanted to play a round of foosball

Thanks for the amazing night people! Good coffee, good company :)

Expressions by Taylor's Orchestra

21st September 12'
Friday

What a pleasant surprise.. The boyf quietly bought tickets for us to catch 'Expressions - Moving Souls in Symphony'. Thanks for the wonderful surprise, love. It is proudly performed by Taylor's University Symphony Orchestra (TUSO). For this year, TUSO collaborated with Taylor's Dance Club and Latin & Ballroom Dance Club to put on a different touch into their show.

The entire performance lasted for approximately 2.5 hours with 15minutes intermission in between.
The event was very well organised & everyone who attended dressed their best to impress. I enjoy classical music very much & their performance didn't fail to impress me. It got me sitting at the edge of my chair the entire time :)

Don't mind the bad quality of pics. They're taking from my bb..
Freebies that came with the booklet

Thanks for such an amazing night, love! I enjoyed myself to the fullest :D

Poco Homemade Cafe

2012-11-28T17:07:00.000+08:00

13th September 12'
Thursday

Decided to spend the afternoon having tea with my beloved high school dearies at Poco Homemade, Bangsar. I once saw my friend posted pics on Instagram about this cafe & was eager to pay it a visit. I love to explore small independent cafe all around. From pictures that i've seen, I pictured the cafe to be a whole lot bigger but in actual it's a very small cafe. Pictures can be very deceiving. This tiny little vintage cafe is located in Jalan Kurau. It's within a row of shop lot situated inside a residential area.

It's that big (One eye see all)

Super cute interior nicely & carefully decorated

Cute cafe isn't it. We spend quite some time walking around the cafe admiring all the cute details

Dried roses. Shooo pretty :)

What we had for tea...
Recommended - Soya Green Tea (RM 6)
Absolute love

Recommended- Homemade Tofu cake (RM 9)
It so soft that it gently melts in your mouth
We were advised by the friendly waitress to first enjoy the Tofu Cake, followed by Dacquoise & Almond Cake.
From the least sweet to the sweetest..
Mind you, the portions are really small but taste absolutely yummy :)

Recommended - Dacquoise (Matcha Flavoured) - (RM 12)

This is surprisingly good. Green tea lover should definitely go for this..

Almond Cake was not on the menu but they do serve it on certain days
Different desserts on the menu are served on different days
We were eyeing for the strawberry shortcake but unfortunately they didn't have it that day..

Nonetheless, these 3 different desserts were good enough to satisfy our tastebuds

Little Mermaid's Birthday

2012-11-28T16:04:00.000+08:00

(11th September 12')
Tuesday

Celebrated sis's birthday at The Smokehouse, Jalan Telawi Bangsar. It's a restaurant & Bar. Indeed it was a 'smokehouse'. We were seated inside & we were almost choked with smoke. Tables around us were puffing like nobody's business. We were a little uncomfortable at first as we were non-smokers but we managed to settle down and move to a corner which was less contaminated.
The Smokehouse serve thai as well as western cuisine. We decided to stick to thai for that night..

The interior is nicely decorated

This was before the dimmed the lights. At about 10pm, they'll dim the lights & music gets a little louder..

Here's what we had for dinner...
Mango kerabu

Mixed vege

Green Curry

Tom Yam Soup

Grilled Squid. This was really good..

Pandan Chicken. One of the best i've ever tasted. The chicken drumlets were delicious..

Highlight for the night. Smokehouse signature - Bombe Alaska! (RM 28)
Flaming dessert

Cake cutting session.
Time to make a wish ;)
Happy Birthday, Sissy!

Aunty's Birthday Celebration

2012-11-28T14:39:00.002+08:00

(1.09.12)
Saturday

Celebrated baby's mom's birthday at Hua Yu Authentic Chinese Food Mandarin Cuisine, Sunway Mentari. The food was really authentic & appetising Chefs were hired from mainland China & dishes served were not the ordinary typical Chinese dishes. On that every night we were surrounded by fellow china people. By paying close attention to how they speak, you'd know they are typical Chinese from China as they twist & turn their tongues while they speak..

So here we are.. Just arrived at the restaurant :)

Baby's Parent

Aunty Liza & Uncle Andrew joined us to celebrate aunty's special day

If i'm not mistaken, this was pork balls and they were delish! it's a must try!

Pork ribs (Pai Guat)

Some sort of vege. Very crunchy..

Steamed Fish. Their presentation was out of the ordinary..

After a satisfying meal, we headed back to baby's place for cake cutting session..

That pretty much sums up the night. A great start to great the month September :D

MyBurgerLab, Seapark

2012-08-31T18:50:00.000+08:00

[28.08.12]

Tuesday

My very 1st visit to MyBurgerLab with baby, sis & her mystery guy. The lab that everyone's been talking & sharing pictures about. I was curious when I first saw my friends posted pics bout their burgers. Burgers with black buns? Interesting and different indeed. I've guessed they were made outtve charcoal and I was right :)

My Burger Lab has been opened for less than a month but the response has been overwhelming. Operation hours are from 5pm – 11pm, Tuesdays to Sundays. Closed on Mondays.

Apparently, people start to queue even before they open in order to secure themselves with a place to sit. Burgers are selling fast every minute & usually sold out by 8pm. Wowza!

Word of advice, be there by 5pm sharp to minimise your waiting time & to avoid going off hungry with an empty stomach!

To avoid being disappointed, I decided to go on a weekday bcoz I knew the crowd will be horrendous during weekends. We arrived half an hour after it opens. It was already full house and the queue was starting to build up.

Thankgod we managed to grab a table after one of our friend who was there earlier left.

We 'Chop' his table while we were queuing. Otherwise, we would probably have to stand & eat.

It didn't take too long before we were served. I'd say we waited for 20-25mins max :)

Queue. Order. Give your name. Pay. Collect at the counter when your name is announced. Before that do lookout for your number.

With ma babyboy. He's a big fan for burgers :P

This is what we had...

Sis - A++ (One of their signature burgers) - RM 14
(Grilled chicken with Sharp cheddar cheese, caramelised onions, enoki and shitake mushrooms)
She pointed out that chicken was a bit dry as compared to the beef patties after she tried mine.
'Aiyaa, should have ordered beef patty instead'.

Boyf - Say Cheese (Cheese lovers, this is for you) – RM11.00 (Ala Carte)
(beef patty, sharp cheddar & Parmesan crisp)
Lip smacking cheesy burger *nyums*

Boyfie ordered a set which serves with french fries topped with rosemary herbs & their special sauce + a bottomless drink..

Myself - Hangover burger - RM16.00
(beef patty, crispy hash brown, maple syrup and mushrooms)
I'm not a fan of chicken fillet burgers so I straight went for beef patty :)
The beef patty was juicy, tender and succulent..Yumss.. & hashbrown just adds on to the crispiness

The guys ordered set while we girls ordered ala carte ;)

We were in and outtve the shop within 45mins. We didn't want to sit on and hold the table. It wasn't very nice as it was getting very noisy, crowded & people were just randomly standing at every corner of the table to 'chop' the table. The queue building up & people queue all the way up to the entrance. Right before we left, chicken fillet was sold out. That was merely an hour after they opened. Wowza! So remember guys, Go early! :D

After that we headed to Alexis, The Gardens where I met up with my highschool mates for a catch up..

Close friends - Jia Wen & Kok Siang
If people didn't know them better they would've thought they are a pair :P

Group picha. Ze Moo Moo bunch

Food-Hunting Road Trip to Malacca

2012-08-30T15:32:00.001+08:00

27.08.12
Monday

Long awaited road trip fulfilled. I've always been telling my boy that I wanna go for food-hunting in Malacca & finally he set aside some time to make that happen. I would say August has been a very fun & fulfilling month. My boy is enjoying his sem break while I have so many breaks in-between which includes Raya holidays & a week long mid sem break. Perfect! I didn't have to feel bad that i'll be busy with classes & neglecting him.

Baby, myself & his friend wyncent joined us for the day. To begin, we made our way down south this monday at midmorning.. say about 10am and it took us 1.5hours to reached our destination. I'm a pretty organised person so I did my homework & made a checklist of places to visit. I'm the type of person that simply don't like wasting time deciding on where to go & what to do last min.

My first destination was Huang Chang Chicken Rice Restaurant, Batu Berendam.
Unfortunately, when we arrived, it was closed. There was a notice stating that they'll open on the 31st. What a bummer lahh!
Baby went over to the next door coffee shop and gathered news from fellow uncles that the owner's health was deteriorating and he now opens only from friday-sunday. So we've just missed it by a day..meh.. Those uncles suggested us to try Old Town Chicken Rice which is not too far away.
With our reliable gps from Wyncent's car we arrived at Old Town in no time.

Old Town Chicken Rice, Malim Jaya
I would say the steamed chicken was good. As far as I could remember, tastier than the overrated Hoe Kee at Jonker Street.

When in Malacca you wouldn't want to miss having chicken rice balls.. I know its just rice that is shaped up into a ball but its different from the usual that we have in KL.
Somehow shaping the rice into a ball makes it cuter and nicer to eat..

3 Pax of chicken + 3 plates of rice ball (7 rice balls each) + 2 drinks = RM 18.40
i'd say pretty reasonable :)

Next stop on the list was Jonker Street.
We parked at an open space car park directly opposite Casa Del Rio Hotel which is 2 mins walk from Jonker. RM 2 per entry (Weekdays).
If i'm not mistaken RM3 for weekends.

Wyncent & baby

Popular tourist spot..

Arrived at Jonker Street

Spotted uber cute 3D cards along our walk in Jonker

Chopsticks labelled with chinese character which I have no idea what isit for coz i don't know how to read chinese.. Yes i'm a banana :P

Ice cream shop

Having this brings back childhood memories. I remember i used to have this a lot when I was a little girl.. I had the mango one & he took blueberry

Jonker Street was filled with 'Jonker Gallery'..

3rd spot on the list was Jonker88. We popped in for Baba Durian Cendol. Who loves durian as much as I do? hee :)

Uncle preparing our Cendol

Baba Durian Cendol - RM 4

Geographer. Typical place where the ang mohs love to hangout & drink

Earlier we mentioned why not let's rent a bicycle and cycle around instead of walking. Just slumber ni but who knew they do have a shop that provides bicycle for rent.. For those of you who are interested, this is situated at Jalan Tukang Emas. It's one or two streets away from Jonker Street.

4th spot on the list. Calanthe Art Cafe, Jalan Hang Kasturi :)
They are popular for their 13 states coffee. If you're a coffee lover be sure to visit.

Love love the lovely ambiance inside. It's so cozy and homey..

Baby ordered set lunch. RM 10.90

He picked Calanthe Laksa set. Looks good. Smells good. Taste good. A perfect choice for those who can't stand spicy. It's not spicy at all & the portion is pretty huge

Ze guys

I had Green Tea Coffee - RM 5.95 (Green Tea & Local Coffee topped with whipped cream)

Love the foamy whipped cream sprinkled with green tea powder but didn't fancy the combination very much. A bit too bitter for my taste bud

Ordered this to share with ze guys. Their signature ice blended state coffee.

Melaka Bandar Bersejarah - RM 7.95

A cube of brownie that comes with baby's lunch set..
Sugar overdoseeee.. very sweeeeet

After settling the bill we explored the cafe
Interesting signage

More seats

Hugssss

Candid shot. One of my favourite shot ^__^

Love the owl poster..

More walking...

My boy loves to poke my nose for no reason. ewkss.. lol

Casa Del Rio Hotel

It wasn't gated nor fenced up so we explored the hotel for a bit.. so beautiful!

We managed to stop by the seashore for a bit. The weather was great and it was so windy..

Visited A Famosa..
*bishh bishh*

5th on the list. Nadeje for mille Crepe. I went to the one at Plaza Mahkota which is 2 mins away from Mahkota Parade. Been hearing so many good reviews about their mille crepe..
Mouthwatering Cakes..
We had cheesecake & it tasted just right. Not too rich nor sweet. Just nice for my tastebud.
Original can never go wrong & its always the safest choice. Both flavours were equally good
*thumbs up*

Last and final spot on the list.

Ban Lee Siang, Jalan Ong Kim Wee for Satay Celup.

Apparently its the BEST in town! I believe so cause the sauce was absolutely delicious.

Never have I tasted such yummy satay sauce!

mm i know having satay celup is not hygienic cuz you'll be sharing everyone's saliva once you dip your stick into the sauce. I don't re-dip my sticks once I bite em but I bet many others do.

Apparently the lady boss told us that they only change the pot of sauce once a week. Sounds gross but true.. Aiyaa who cares lah once in awhile, its okie :D

Satay sticks are priced at RM0.60/stick. So affordable.

Better than having lok lok back in KL where its freaking expensive.

Satay Celup is inexpensive and they a wide variety of fresh food for you to choose from.

We arrived around 6.30pm and it was almost fullhouse. We had to sit at the back lorong but it was pretty cooling. It was less crowded & less noisy. Me Like :)

Sorry didn't have many pics to share bcoz we were busy enjoying ourselves :D

We didn't split the bill equally cuz it won't be fair for me as I couldn't eat as much as the guys. So we pay for what we ate. I ate 14 sticks and it was only RM8.40. Not bad. Just 14 & it was enough to fill my stomach *yumss*

Shortly after that we made our way back to KL. That marks our food-hunting road trip to Malacca! :D

I had an amazing day with my boy. We walked quite a bit & i'm glad he was cool with that.
Thankgod for great weather. It wasn't even sunny nor it was bout to pour. I'd say PERFECT weather! My prayer worked :)
Plus, I'm glad that my 'places to visit list' was fulfilled. Thanks for making this trip so worthwhile and unforgettable, love! I truly enjoyed my day to the bits! I never been happier ♥ . Not forgetting, thanks to Wyncent too for your comfy ride, reliable gps & spending the entire day with us :D

This trip wouldn't be possible if it weren't for you guys! Big fat thankyouss :)

Kissaten, Coffee & Restaurant, Jaya One, PJ

2012-08-06T20:15:00.002+08:00

6th August

Monday

No monday blues coz it's a public holiday for selangor *woohoo*

Started my wonderful morning with Step Up Revolution @ Midvalley. I've been anticipating for this couple of months back when I first saw the trailer. After long-awaited, I finally had a chance to watch it. It did lived up to my expectations. They brought something new & fresh to the air. Their moves were wicked & sick. Dubstep made it even betterrr! It was way beyond awesome! I don't mind watching it again.. Seriously.. It's one dance movie should not be missed.

Anyways, after our movie we headed over to Kissaten for Kai Lin's Farewell lunch before she leaves to further her studies.. Boyfie & the rest were craving for pork burger yang betul betul kao, so the night before I went on the web searching for recommended porkie burger. Rebecca's blog will always be at the top of my mind when it comes to food. Checkout the link on her review at Kissaten.

Kissaten's pork burger was the 2nd on her list so it must be darn good coz I trust her fussy taste.. haha

Kissaten is located opposite Brussel's, one floor up..

Its a Japanese-style coffee shop that serves a variety of jap food & our local favourites

A choice to dine outside or inside

A complimentary cup of ice lemon tea if you like their fb page

Boyfie, myself & Kai Lin

Here's what we had.....
Teriyaki Pork Burger United!
Moist Juicy Porkie Patty for RM 10.90
It worth ever penny

Nyumsss* looks mouth watering isn't it..
Oh.Cute.Mini.Flags.. I have a thing for cute mini flags that sticks on food..haha

Can't wait to dig in out burgers

It was so messy to eat where the porkie juices+teriyaki sauce were oozing out yet it was so yummeh

Boyfie's mission was to try their pork burger & so was mine. He couldn't stop praising how good it was & rated it a 8.5/10. That's a pretty high score.

Look at his happy face

Bee's Katsudon - RM 15.90

The chicken was really crispy & tasty

Wyncent's Katsu Curry Rice - RM18.90

With ma loverboy

After satisfying our tummy we took a stroll around Jaya One

Can't wait for tomorrow as i'll be bringing my boy to my home club to hit the golf course and play for the very first time :)

Namoo on the Park, Korean Dessert Cafe N Bistro @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas

2012-08-05T22:25:00.000+08:00

5th August 12'

Sunday

Happy Sunday, Peeps!

I know I haven been blogging as often.. Been pretty tided up with assignments :(

Anyways, here's a quick post to share with you guys since I managed to take a little time off on my peaceful sunday :)

I was at Publika couple of weeks back for lunch & my babe suggested Namoo for dessert. We went all around the block but couldn't find it #fail.

As for today, I did my homework & found out exactly where it was located before heading over.

We parked at block D2 & took the escalator one floor up to G3.

Namoo is situated directly above MPH.

Namoo is the first korean dessert cafe in Malaysia. They mainly serve korean dessert & food with a modern twist. The decor is contemporary modern with its interior mainly made outtve wood which gives the cafe a warm ambiance. Overall, it's pretty cozy & quiet place to chill with friends.

Btw, don't you love the cute Namoo mascot with it's chef hat :P

Entrance

Cashier
Notice the stairs on the right? The section was closed so I didn't managed to see what was it like. Wonder what does it looks like upstair..

Interior

You can either sit inside or outside by the mini playground

We took a seat inside as the ambiance were much nicer with its warm lightings

I didn't notice they have a hook under the table until I paid attention to the mini note on their serviette.. How cute

Here's what we had

The King's Bing Soo (A choice of Milk Tea or Green Tea) RM 12.90
Shaved ice with rice cakes, red beans and ice cream sprinkled with multi-grain powder
We had Milk Tea flavour. I'd say it's something different & pretty yummeh for a dessert lover like me.
The portion served is just nice for two

Hottuk Pancake - RM 9.90
Korean-style pancake with mixed berries jam & ice cream
To me it tasted as if there was cinnamon in the pancake. I'm not a fan of cinnamon so I don't favour this.

Bulgogi Beef Burger - RM 19.90

Korean marinated beef, mixed vegetables and sliced onions, potato wedges served with a fresh toasty burger bun

The sliced beef were well marinated & taste delish :)

Dishes were nicely decorated with a mini Namoo Cafe flag.. shooo cute :)

With Dorie babe <3 br="br" nbsp="nbsp">

Read some pretty good reviews on their rice burger. Something outtve the ordinary. Apparently it's a healthier version for burger. Not to mention, the service was pretty good. There's once where I accidentally dropped my cutlery on the floor & next thing you know the waitress was already at my table replacing a new one for me. Same scenario happened to Dorie & they were so observant & immediately replaced it. Plus, the waitresses/waiters were very polite. I'll definitely go back again for another visit & explore more on the menu :)

Had a lovely evening with you babe! Thanks for the company :)

Nineteen Months

2012-07-27T01:44:00.003+08:00

[26.07.12]
Thursday

Here's to our lovely nineteenth month! It was a day that we've been waiting for! Not only it was a day to celebrate our monthsary but it was also my boy's last day of finals *woots* Joyyy! :D

I decided to try Plan B @ Paradigm Mall. Pretty chilling ambience but the service was tad bit slow.. A customer across our table was complaining to his girlf about them taking so long to serve his meal. He sure looked pissed & wasn't too happy after his meal was served. Hungry people becomes angry people. I guess it was peak hour so they took extra long to serve the food. Mine took half & hour before it was served. It was quite a wait but I wasn't that hungry so I wasn't a cranky customer..

Here's what we had...

Mine - Rare Roast Beef Sandwich served with a side of house salad (RM25)
served with arugula, sweet roasted peppers, caramelised onions & mustard dressing on ciabatta, served with home-made chips
I didn't favour the amount of arugula leaves that was served with it. Not to mention, the portion is pretty huge & I couldn't finished it all on my own. Other than that it was okay only..

Look at how thick it is. See the amount of arugula leaves at the bottom..eek.. I had to remove em & placed them at the side of my plate..

It does get kinda messy once you start to slicing the sandwich into bite size..

The fillings will start oozing out. Not a meal you would like to have on your 1st date. haha!

My handsome boy <3

Boyfie's - Char-Grilled Cheeseburger served with a side of house salad (RM25)
Juicy homemade patty with melted cheddar slices, fries & onion rings
He enjoyed this very much. Beef patty was juicy. tender. succulent *nyums*
I had a bite & it was delish! Love love the warm toasty sesame bun. Worth to try :)

After dinner, we had a walk around the mall & it was getting a bit chilly for me. I was craving for something hot.. like coffee or chocolate... Somehow we ended up having Snowflakes..haha!
Unable to resist temptation after passing by :P
All eyes on the NEW Ocha'ryo! Ze best!
Notice the odd colour taroball instead of the original black sesame ones? haha..
They ran outtve of black sesame ones & told us if they could replace it with something else.
I don't mind as long as I got the green tea ice!

Topped with red beans, mini pearls (they replaced it with big pearls coz they ran outtve it) & black sesame taroballs

Boyfie enjoying his share :P

'I'm macho man' :P

He said he look very the schexyy here with his eyes..trololol :P

Although I look weird with my cacat smile but i'll put this up just for you cuz you look 'schexxy' :P

Thanks for the lovely evening baby! Enjoyed every moment spend with you! Once again, 'Happy Monthsary, love'! You are irreplaceable & you'll always gain the highest place in my heart! Saranghae!

Lunch @ Red Bean Bag, Publika, Solaris Dutamas

Sunday

Met up with my long time bestie, Dorothy who recently got back from sydney for a visit. Oh how i've missed going silly & doing silly things with her. It was so good to finally see her after my 21st birthday few months back.
We decided to try Red Bean Bag which is located right above Dr. Cafe on block A (Opposite Ben's).
It was full house when we got there around 1.30pm+. We were on waiting list for 45mins to an hour before seated. Meanwhile waiting we walked the streets & across the many blocks of publika. So we almost felt like we didn't have to wait. We even did random photo shoot as dorie babe loves photography. She took out her baby & snapped away beautifully..

Pictures credits to Dorie <3
Thanks for the lovely pics babe!

What we had for lunch...
Dorie's

Ours

After that we headed over to The Bee for dessert..

Love the cozy ambience.. Perfect spot to chill on a lazy sunday afternoon :)

Ice Mocha & Nutella ice cream :)

Ice cream is a must try. They have assorted flavours to suit your taste bud..

Nutella isn't too bad but tad bit sweet. Too much of it is quite jelak..

Crème brûlée was good & we were lucky to have the last one on shelf

Earl grey lavender tea

Sweet & calms the soul

Our 1st polaroid snap together & I have this to her to remember me always <3

She & her kissy lips. Trademark for the day :P

Thanks for the lovely afternoon babe! More dates to come! love youu *muacks*

Celebrated our 18th month. It's amazing how fast time flies. Happy Monthsary, my love. Eighteen magical months of journeying with you. Words alone are insufficient to describe how much you mean to me. Truly you've been the best boyf I've ever had. No one would ever replace you in my heart. You've always been so understanding, caring, loving, supportive in many ways.. I can say no one knows me better than you do. It's like we have this antenna that connects us together. We share so many things in common from likes to dislikes. It's like I've found another me. Who knew someone like you would step into my life when I least expected it. I believe it's all by god's blessing. When I first met you, I never thought someone like you would ever fall for someone like me. It's funny how we started as mere acquaintance to lovers today. Unimaginable but I'm glad it happened. Thanks baby for all the sweet.loving.wonderful memories that you've planted in my life. Always remember no matter what happens, I will always stand by you.

Since boyfie had classes till evening, we decided to meet up for din dins..

I was craving for japan & off we go to Sushi Zanmai, Paradigm mall..

Ebiten Ebikko Maki

Ebi Fry Peach Avocado Roll

Cranky Salmon Maki

Sashimi

Tendon

With babyboy

He very pandai to pai poe si & I pulak always have the same expression

Baby's bro & his friends joined us for dinner

Baby. Myself. Henry

Sze Jin, Desmond, Donson

Coincidentally it was Desmond bday. Happy birthday to you.

mmmhmm after satisfying my craving for sushi, it was time for dessert!

Tong Pak Fu!

Definitely worth to try! Oh no wait. It's a MUST try if you're a durian lover..
You'll know what I mean after trying it. You'll only go back for moreee :D

We managed to enjoy 20% off since it was Desmond's bday

There's something for students too :D

We ordered 3 large snow ice to share among ourselves..

#1 The MUST try Tracka Durian Snow Ice. From afar we could already smell the strong scent of durian

#2 D24 Durian Snow Ice

Another durian on the list. I would say this taste slightly sweeter compared to Tracka. I prefer Tracka over this but it's still good :)

#3 Matcha Snow Ice

Not a bad pick. Very green tea

Love you heaps baby! ♥

Before meeting up my boy, managed to catch up with Amy babe at Pyramid for shopping & dessert..
Tried Zen Q for the first time. At first I had no idea what to pick from the menu. They discontinued several items on the menu..
At last we decided to create our own Zen Q dessert..
Soya ice topped with red beans, Green Tea Q Yuan (Taro balls) & Sweet potato
The soya ice taste pretty much like Snowflakes. Very fine ice that gently melts in your mouth. They gave a generous spread of red bean but it was mishi moshi (a lil wet & clumpy) I'd still prefer Snowflakes's. Green tea Q Yuan were too chewy.
After trying Zen Q, I still prefer Snowflakes! :D
Along with that we ordered Milk tea which was on promo for ONLY RM2

Meet Amy. My dearest & closes class/uni mate.

We work very well as a group & we always stick together for group assignments & presentations. We're inseparable.. haha

It was nice catching up with you babe!

That's pretty much it. I had such a wonderful day! Thanks for everything my love! Appreciate it very much! :D

Awake

2012-06-25T03:29:00.001+08:00

Heyooo..

Here I am sitting in front of my lappie blogging. It's 3am. Been lying on my bed tossing. turning. staring at the ceiling for the past 45mins & I still couldn't fall asleep. That's the downside for taking a nap for almost 4 hours this afternoon. So here I am wide awake like an owl. Instead of forcing myself to sleep, decided to jump outtve bed & blog on what i've been up to for the past couple of days..

On wednesday, met up with my babe, Jia Wen who just got back from Kent for hols. We had a great round of catch up at Antipodean, Bangsar while enjoying tea.coffee.cakes.muffins (sorry no pics as I wasn't in a mood to snap pics). Anyways, we just sat there & spend almost 4 hours catching up. It was that much we've missed out each other. Looking forward to another meet up soon babe :)

Boyfie came by on Friday noon & accompanied me to get my eyelashes permed. Had em done at I-brow, The Strand, Kota Damansara. Didn't know that it'll take almost 2 hours. The longest session I've ever tried. They did an extra step by applying the lash serum. However, I did not like my permed lashes. They're not nicely curled upright instead they're messily curled to the side. Not my type of perm & I don't think this will be lasting. I very much prefer the one I did before at De Brow at e@Curve. In future i'll definitely go back to De Brow...
AND Ohh.. Poor baby had to wait for me while he was accompanied by his notes. I know it was quite a wait for you hunnie & I know you were hungry and restless but I appreciate it that you still waited patiently.. he did complain & whine a little after that.. hahaa.. Soon after that we had Ipoh Road Yong Tau Foo, Metro Prima Kepong.. In the evening, we went to town & hopped from one mall to another. From Fahrenheit --> Sg. Wang --> Times Square --> Pavilion. Btw, Thanks for the polo tees, love! Love em'. Thanks for being sucha sweetheart & I had a splendid day with you ♥

The next day, I went over to boyfie's place to spend the day with him. Thanks for listening to me blabbering to you 1st thing I got to your place. You've been sucha good listener & understands me like no one else. We spend time in the kitchen making wraps for his family & watched Mouse Haunt before heading out to my friend's 21st birthday parte. It was my 1st time ever attending an indian birthday gathering/farewell & I enjoyed the food very much. Everything served was savoury & spicy *nyums*. Thanks for having us Priya! Hope you had a blast on your big day! :)

Sunday was dull. Attended church service in the morning. Got home & pig the entire afternoon. Woke for dinner to celebrate belated father's day at Sin Kee Resturant, Brickfields. Typical chinese cuisine. What my parents love best.

That's pretty much it for the past couple of days.. Sorry no pics but will definitely boom my blog with more pics for my upcoming post yah..

Have a great week ahead dearies!
xoxo

Well spent day with my love

Monday

Finals were officially over since last wednesday! *woots*
Am currently enjoying my sem break for a month long..
Boyfie has been nothing but the best!! It's so cute that he was even more excited that I am for me to finish my finals. Last week immediately after my last paper he brought me to Sunway Pyramid for ice cream to satisfy my craving.
We ended up having Stickhouse's then back to his place for din dins & durian feast after dins.
Next day.... he accompanied me to uni to settle my enrollment for next sem. Went & get haircut & back to my place for dins with some uncles at Restaurant de foodland, Kepong.
Saturday, he woke up as early & joined me for jungle trekking at 730am. It was quite an experience together :)

As for today, we went to Paradigm Mall's GSC to redeem free tickets to catch Mirror Mirror. I heard it was pretty good but I didn't have the time back then to watch it. This was the perfect opportunity to catch it prior to GCS's grand opening. We got there as early as 1030am & redeemed our tics within 5mins. They was no queue at all. I heard the queue was massive over the weekends. I've decided that weekdays would be the best & true enough I was right. Ample of seats & we got one of the best seats. Center of the center in the hall #win :)

We headed over to Subway & we were just in time for their breakfast promo
Breakfast strip for us..

Hit the cinema for Mirror mirror
I'd say it was quite nice.. Pretty hilarious

Soon after our movie ended, we had lunch at Paradise Dynasty..
It kind of reminds me of Dragon-i a lil..
Boyfie's been telling me they serve really yummeh 'Xiao Long Bao' (mini chinese dumplings) & their La Mian is really good..
view taken from where we're seated..

Sliced ginger with vineger to go with siew loong bao

Here's what we had...
Mine - La Mian with sliced pork ( One of their signature La Mien)
It was really good & the portion was pretty huge with generous amount of sliced pork *yums*

Boyfie - La Mian with stewed beef briske
Absolutely delicious. Huge portion with generous amount of well seasoned beef.

The famous 8 legendary Xiao Long Bao

Boyfie asked me to try the szechuan one 1st..
I'd say not everyone would like the taste of it. It has its own unique taste of spiciness..

We finished the Xiao Long Bao first before it cooled down or else it won't taste as good..
Wallop our noodles & yumm yumms.. I was extremely full to the brink :)
Sat on sipping on chinese tea & talking about almost everything with me boy.
The service was good & they make sure your tea is always refilled
Enjoyed the lovely lunch very much! Thanks baby!!

Big Buddha in the middle of the restaurant

Open kitchen concept where we watched how to make & serve La Mian

Boyfie picked out a almost similar top to pair with what I was wearing. How cute :)
Love youu bao! *smoochess*

Boyfie accompanied me to do some grocery shopping at Giant & we headed back to his place for din din. An incredible day with my love! Thanks for everything bao! ♡

Face To Face Beauty Saloon @ The Scott Garden

15th June 12'
Friday

Hair pampering session with sis @ Face To Face Beauty Saloon, The Scott Garden. I bet y'all must be thinking 'face to face'? isn't that the pan mee restaurant? Twas my first impression when I heard of it's name. Anyways, I wouldn't knew the existent of it if it weren't becoz of an online deal on Hulala.com.my. Purchased the deal inclusive of hair treatment + wash & blow for only RM23. That's freaking affordable. Plus, they use L'oreal products. The place wasn't too hard to find. It's situated @ level 3, upper shop lot.

Made my way to Scott Garden around noon & the place was so dead & quite. Most of the shops, pubs & restaurants comes alive at night.

Anyways, first had my hair washed by a male saloon assistant. It was one of the best hair wash/head massage session ever. He was so gentle, careful & gives damn good head massages. Look for Wai if you were to pay the saloon for a visit. Trust me.. You'll be in good hands :) Plus, I loved the shampoo they used. It has methanol which gives your scalp a minty effect & leaves it feeling clean & cooling.
Proceed with hair treatment & steam.
The whole process took about an hour & taa daaa...
Say hello to silky smooth & good smelling hair *sniff*

Here's what it looks like inside.. One eye see all..

Beauty saloon that provides services from Face - Hair - Body - Nails - Makeup
That's Willies Liew by the counter (stylish manager) he was formerly from Cut Above
He took charged of blowing dry my hair

With sis after getting our hair done

I'm pretty satisfied with their service. In turn, I bought 3x hair treatment for future. Can't wait to go back & pamper my hair..

In loving memory of my late granny..

2nd June 12'
Saturday

Exactly one week ago while I was on my out with mumsie to do morning marketing, unexpectedly we received a call from dad around 7.30am saying that granny passed away peacefully in her sleep at that very morning. It took me awhile to digest it that my all time favourite granny was no longer around.
My heart sank and tears of sorrows flow down my cheeks uncontrollably. So many thoughts were running through my head. I kept wondering how is this possible?! My granny has always been very healthy & jovial. There was no signs of illness of whatsoever all these while. All I could think of, the cause might have been due to the effects surgery that she had gone through a week before.
As I've heard from bro who visited granny during her surgery, it was successful but she was very frail and weak after that.
This all comes back to a couple of weeks ago when granny accidentally slip in the bathroom & fractured her thighbone. She had to go through the surgery twice to placed a metal bar inside her thighs to hold the bones together. Poor granny had to go through so much pain. Not once but twice.

At that time, I wished I could pay her a visit in JB but unfortunately I was occupied by assignments & deadline one after another. Who knew that was the last chance for me to see her the last time...
Nevertheless, I was grateful that I managed to pay her a visit during this year's chinese new year.
Those were the last memories I had with her..

My late granny is from my paternal side of the family. She's the one & only granny I'm left with. The one who brought me up since I was a baby & nurture me for 10 years. For a decade loving years I was under her great care. She's the best granny I've ever had. There were so much memories shared. Till today, there are instilled within me...

Memories...
Back in my kinder days, I would always wake up as early as 6inthemorning & go straight to my granny's room where i'll sit on her bed & have her plait my waist-length hair into 2 plaits for class.
It will always be that early cuz soon after she'll leave for her morning exercise (tai kek)

Everyday after school she'll wait for me to arrive home by the porch & great me with a warm smile & asked if i'm hungry. She always prepares the best dishes ever. My all time favourite was char siew with rice (simple but extremely yummy). Granny would slowly peel the char siew into tiny bits, mixed them with rice & feed me :)

When I was a little girl, my parents often travel overseas for days & weeks be it for business trip or holidays. I would be left at home with granny. I'll sleep with granny every night till my parents are back. She would tell me stories after stories till I fall asleep in bed..

During free time or school holidays, granny will accompany me to play masak-masak. She'll be the customer in my restaurant & i'll asked what would she like to eat & served it to her. We even play cards & checkers together. Especially during school holidays, she'll take me to the morning market to shop for groceries & buy me breakfast. We even go shopping too & during my childhood time, leisure mall was my all time favourite.. Those were the times..

Granny thought me so many things in life, she taught me how to cook as I stood by her side in the kitchen every time she cooks dinner. She taught me cantonese & that is why till today I can speak fluent cantonese where my other siblings couldn't. She taught me how to be a better person in life, how to behave & how to respect elders. So much more that I could not count them all with my ten fingers (sup kor sau qi dou sou mm sai)

Dear granny,
You've been the greatest granny I've ever had. I will always remember what you've thought me. You'll be greatly missed & forever remembered with great affection & great appreciation. I love you very much mama! ♥

God has his own reasons for taking her away so sudden. As a christian, i believe she's in a better place :)

We did an obituary ad for granny for The Star & China Press

Pictures credits to my cousie bro..
During the wake service

On our way out for the burial ceremony
& we were glad to have two police outriders to lead us all the way to Cheras Christian Cemetery
Granny must be happy from above :)

This was taken 2 years back in JB when I visited granny during chinese.
Bought her durians cuz she loves eating em'. Even though I look horrible here but granny is smiling and enjoying the durians :)

Taken this year during chinese new year. Yikes. 1st snap no smile cuz she forgot to smile. haha

Next snap. Granny smiling so happily! I will always remember you smiling so happily!

My ever-loving dearest granny ♥

Glad that everything ran smoothly. The wake services & the burial ceremony. I want to thank friends, family & relatives from the bottom of my heart who made it for the wake services. Not forgetting my dear friends for your thoughtful condolences. Only a handful who took the effort to show that you care, it means a lot to me. You know who you are. Appreciate it very much!

Happy 17 Months, love

2012-05-26T19:17:00.001+08:00

Another month has passed, we're getting closer to break my record of 18months+.. haha

Anyways, that's not the point.. hours, days & months does not prove anything..

What matters the most is that we're happy together! We enjoy each other's company be it cooking together, golfing, gyming, swimming, watch drama or just lye in bed having pillow talks.

Be there for each other through ups and downs in life
(You were always there to support me through the hardest time in my life)

Tolerate each other's wrong doings, bad habits & stubborness
(I know most of the time you are the one who tolerate me)

Laugh at each other's lame jokes & whatnot..

Argue on the tiniest matter sometimes but still choose to stick around & etc..

I'm proud to say that you are not only my boyf but also my best friend at the same time..

Thanks for making these seventeenmonths a magical one!

You never fail to put a smile on my face & made me feel beautiful all the time :)

I'm truly the luckiest & happiest girl on earth :D

Here's to more months to come..

I love you long time Terence Foo Kai Wai ♥ :)

*smooochesss*

Friday Joy

2012-05-25T22:23:00.000+08:00

Started off my day by dropping sis to uni & soon after that headed over to the boyf's place to cook him brunch. I know he loves western cuisine, so there I was to pamper him with a lovely brunch.

Cooking has always been my 'thing'. I loveeee to cook. Be it western or chinese cuisine. I cook to express my feelings of love & how much they mean to me by making the extra effort to plan & prepare. I love to make a mess while I cook but dislike cleaning & washing up after the mess has been done. I guess we all don't like cleaning up..right? haha

I dare not say my cooking taste absolutely delicious but at least it looks somewhat presentable & of course edible.. HAHAH! So far, whatever that I've cooked for my boy, he'll finished every single bit that is served on the plate. Idontknow is it that yummeh, or coz he's hungry or finish up just to give face to me (pei min). Lol! Nonetheless, my effort are not wasted :) & thankgod he's not fussy when it comes to food. Everything that i've cook he'll compliment me by telling me 'This is my favourite, Hou hou sek ah, I like it cooked this way, yummms & etc... hahaha :D

Glad that I've someone to enjoy my cooking from time to time <3

I'll probably share with you guys more dishes that I've cooked or cooked with my boy in the past next time :)

Specially cooked for my boy

Toast bread, scramble eggs with diced tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini, black pepper sausages & juicy tender beef patty

Boyf did contribute to our brunch by making us each a cup of apple smoothie *nyums* & also my personal kitchen assistant. hee.. Thanks baby :)

Hope you enjoyed the brunch my love :)

After a satisfying brunch & I had to say byebye to my boy & left to pick sis up from uni..
Guess what... off we go to Paradigm Mall..Again.. twas my 4th time in 3 days.. lol
She wanted to shop.shop.shop..

While we were walking around, I came across A Saloon & they were running on a promo of cut, wash, blow for only RM38. Since I've been wanting to my hair cut, why not give it a try kan (super spontaneous)
Getting your hair wash & neck massages are ze best in a saloon. It's so relaxing..
Decided to chop couple of inches to get rid of ze split ends and whatnot.. ended up chopping 4-5inches.. Toodles to waist length hair :(
Ever since I was a little girl, I kept long long hair & I remembered once when I was 6, my aunty brought me to the saloon and chop of my waist length to a length just beneath my ears. I was so mad at her, got home & ran to my parents in tears. I'll never ever forget that painful moment..
I've always been the girl who keeps her hair long till waistline. I love it long coz it makes me feel more feminine and that I can play around with it by curling, plaiting & etc...
This time round, I had it cut straight instead of the usual where I layer my hair.
My hair looks thicker, more voluminous & healthier even though I can't totally get rid of the dry ends. Had my side swept bangs again & trying to get used to it.. It usually takes a week or 2 for the hair to look more natural & normal..
All I have to do is wait... :)

Taaa daaa~~

Mid-length hair cut by Yew (Cute, friendly lady hairstylist who looks very korean)

That's all for now, dearies!

Thanks for tuning in..

Till then. xoxo :)

Paradigm Mall @ Kelana Jaya

2012-05-24T23:22:00.002+08:00

23rd May 12'

Wednesday

Newly opened Paradigm Shopping Mall situated at the heart of Kelana Jaya along LDP Highway.

This adds up to my list of another exciting retail therapy which is just 15 mins away from my place. Glad that there'll be a cinema as well, Golden Screen Cinema which will operate in mid June.

Taa daa~~ Another option on the list for movies :)

The boyf & I have been looking forward to visit the mall. Well, especially my boy coz he spend 3 months long interning for this project by WCT. My boy did contribute to the building of the mall too.. haha

On it's grand opening day, we got there slightly passed noon & it was already pretty packed and happening. Boyf took me on a tour around the entire mall, from one end to the other. I would say the mall is not too huge nor too small & it's designed in an oval shape. Pretty easy to make your way around. More or less 95% of the shops are already opened. I noticed there's a whole lot more F&B outlets as compared to others. Almost every corner you'll see a restaurant. I'd say a pretty good place to dine in as you'll be spoiled with choices :)

A peek of how it looks like..

Eyeing the dessert shop from above
#6

We made our way down to lower ground (LG) where there were more FOOOD!
First time we came across, Cielo Dolci which serves Gelato & they were giving out free gelato.
Who doesn't like free stuff right? We quickly hop in to join the queue. We were allowed to pick 3 different flavours to try. There were like the size of BR ice cream tasting. Just a mini spoonful :)
I tried chocolate, passionfruit & green tea. Chocolate & Green Tea was so rich & good but passionfruit tasted a bit weird. Boyf tried pineapple, mango & durian. The funniest thing was it all tasted like durian coz they were placed in the same cup. LOL! However, durian flavour was really good! :)

Soon after, it was time for some real dessert..
Tong Pak Fu here we comeee :D
Black Sesame Snow Ice
Dayummm.. it was so goood. Usually I eat black sesame tong sui (zhi ma wu) which is hot/warm..
This is icey cold & it gently melts in your mouth! yummeh :) However, I didn't like the side toppings as the pearls were hard & not chewy. Strawberries were sour =/
One portion was just nice to share between the 2 of us :)

With my love ♥

He purposely picked out a pink top to match me for the day :)

Not many guys can pull off a pink top but he did..haha

mmmhmmm :)

Pretty lamps in TPF

Mr. Clowns were passing by with colourful helium balloon!
I wanted one too but shy coz people would probably think so big girl already still carry balloon around the mall mer..lol
OH look, he was smiling at my camera :D

After dessert, we walked for a bit & along our way the boyf saw an abandon balloon sticking up the ceiling. He jumped as high as he could and grab hold of it for me. How cute. He got me not one but two. How sweeet is that. Thanks baby! I walked around the mall with balloons & felt like a kid again.. haha

In LG, we had Porridge Time
We ordered a pot of Fish Porridge to share..
mmhmm it was delish.. Sipping on nice hot porridge when were were freezing our ass in the mall..
The air conditioning is freaking cold *brrr*

The next day, which is today.. I visited the mall with sis coz Brands Outlet & Padini Concept Store are officially opened. There was massive sales in Brands Outlet & we were glad that we got there early. Shorts for men & women were as low as RM9. Buy 1 Free 1 promo signs were all around the shop. Glad that I managed to picked up 2 bermudas for my boy & a couple of shorts for myself :)
Sale is only till this Sunday, 27th May. Hurry peeps!

Shortly after that, we grab a cup of juice from Juice Works. Buy 1 Free 1 promo again till this sunday :)
Be sure to visit the mall within these 3 days to not miss any of the promo from any shop. I'm sure many others are running on their special promo :)

Btw peeps, I would suggest that you guys park in the basement. It's so much better than making multiple rounds twirling up and up to level 3 for parking. It's so annoying. We tried that on the 1st day & 2nd day we tried the basement. In my opinion, basement parking is definitely a better option :)

Oh did I mention that this week is one of the funnest & happiest week of my life? haha..
I've been seeing my boy 4 days straight this week. Make it 5 including tomorrow..lol..It's been awhile since we get to see each other so often due to our hectic schedule but boy i'm glad he's on his mid sem break & i'm on my study break so that gave us room to see each other more often :)

Anyways, thanks for tuning in guys. I know I haven been blogging for quite a bit.
Finals are just around the corner. I'll defo blog more often after finals!

Fat Boy's Burger Bar @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas

2012-05-02T18:04:00.001+08:00

1st May 12'

Tuesday

Heyyo! How're you guys doing?

It's been 2 weeks since I last blogged cuz i've been pretty busy with assignments as my semester is coming to an end.. 3 more weeks to go & it's finals.. So not looking forward to it..

Anyways, back to what I was about to share with you guys..

It's labour day & the boyf decided to have lunch at The All Famous Fat Boy's Burger Bar.

I've been telling him how much I want to try those giant burgers when I first accidentally walked pass the restaurant while I was finding my way outtve the maze in Publika. I could get lost there cause every block looks pretty much the same and they're just so confusing.. Probably bumping around the area a couple more times would help me to be more familiarized on where is where.

Even though Publika is just 10mins away from my place, I hardly come by. I think this would probably be my 3rd time? I can see this place is coming up pretty fast & drawing crowd especially on weekends. I guess soon enough it'll be a new hangout spot to eat, shop & chill.

Boyf picked me up with his 2 other friends & off we go for lunchieee..

We reached the restaurant around 1ish & it was packed till we had no place to sit..

I would say most of the people that were seated were hungrily waiting for their burgers to be served..

We thought... my-oh-my.. the wait could be pretty long & so we head out to Ben's who was just across the block & there people on a waiting list.. That's what you get on a peak hour =/

At last we decided to stick to Fat boy's & wait!!

10mins later we were seated *yays*

Anddd.. unexpectedly, Fat Boy's is owned by boyf's godgranny's bestfriend's daughter.. small world..

Checkout her blog for more food reviews. You'll love em :)

Fat Boy's Burger Bar Menu

You could also mix & match your own burger to suit your taste bud

The burger counter

Here's what we had for lunch...

Boyf's - Fat Basterd (RM28)

Signature burger that everyone has to give it a try :)

Double beef patties, extra thick bacon, cheddar cheese, fried egg and homemade Fatboy's sauce on sesame bun

Every single ingredient is what I would love to have in my burger. I was so tempted to order this but I know I won't be able to finish it, so I left it for the boyf to order & I'll just nibble on it :P

mmhmm.. mouthwatering isn't it :)

I'd say this would be one of the best pick!

The beef patty were so juicy, tender and succulent. Together with cheese & egg. Oh-its-heaven :)

Definitely worth trying!

Mine - Jamaican Me Hungry (RM 19)

Jerk seasones bacon stuffed Pork patty topped with sundried tomatoes, chewy bacon, homemade coleslaw and smothered with mayonnaise on sesame bun

I was contemplating whether should I take Bleu Peppercon (Beef) or Jamaican Me Hungry (Bacon)

Since my boy is taking beef, I thought I should try something else & so I opt for bacon patty

To my disappointment, it wasn't that good. The patty was pretty dry & tasteless. I couldn't taste the porkieness at all.. It was blunt :( Plus I didn't like the sundried tomatoes, it was pretty awful =/

I think Bleu Peppercorn would have been a better pick. You can't go wrong with beef right?

Kah poh ordered Bushtucker (RM 19.50)

Grilled beef patty, extra thick bacon, melted emmenthal cheese, beets, topped with wild arugula ang garlic aioli on a whole meal bun

Fat Basterd

Jamaican Me Hungry

No burger is complete without mustard & chili sauce :)

Boyf enjoying his share

After satisfying our tummies, we took a walk around Publika to explore & see what they have..

Boyfie look so cute over here.. I just have to upload this.. haha :)

Us ♥

We went back to my place late afternoon to shoot some hoops & played badminton #Funtime
Even though I was pretty cranky during the start of the day but I was very happy at the end of the day. Thanks for everything, love! I enjoyed my day to the fullest! ♥

I managed to enjoy 3 rounds of watching the pros play from friday till sunday with my baby :)

Day 2 (Friday)

Baby picked me up from my place & we left for KLGCC at 11am. We parked inside Kelab Sukan Negara Bukit Kiara & took the complimentary shuttle bus which ferried us to the entrance & we took a ride on complimentary buggy service by RICOH to ferry us up the slope and dropped us at the indoor car park where we were greeted with a cup of steamed kacang kuda. We then made our way to the entrance and visited some of the pros at the driving range who were warming up before their game.

We followed Charl Schwartzel & Alvaro Quiros's flight for a bit & left towards the evening before it started pouring

Here's Alvaro's flight with Jeev Milkha Singh & Tetsuji Hiratsuka at tee box 1

Alvaro Quiros is baby's idol..He's been wanting to see him live & now he finally had a chance to see him.
Quiros is a gentleman who always wear a bright wide smile. Plus, very charming looking :)

He's looking at my camera *snapppp* ;)

Midway following Quiros's flight, baby experimenting the umbrella where he doesn't have to hold it with his hand :P

Us camping in between hole 3, 4, 7 & 12. One of the best spot :)

Baby brought snackies to munch on. Roadies crispy cheddar potato skin *yummeh* & he tied with some stem he found. How brillianté

Very scenic golf course with a mini waterfall at hole 12's green
After watching the pros we decided to show some support to my friends who were playing..
Waited for Nicholas Fung at hole 12 & watched him play for one hole & waited on the green for Abel Tam to approached. We followed him and supported him til hole 15 and we make a move coz the weather wasn't looking too good..

Tee box #13

Last shot. Baby posing with the Trophy :)

Day 3

Baby came over & had breakkie at my place before shooting off for the 3rd round. Mumsie dropped us together with dad & bro for the game. Unfortunately, once we've just reached, it started raining cats & dogs. We waiting patiently nearby the driving range & tee off for round 3 was delayed till 1pm plus. Once the sky has cleared, we were watching the pros teeing off at tee box 1. Just when I wanted to follow the pros, I received a call from dad saying that he wants my camera & I had to go all the way to the range to lend it to him. He was hogging my camera & all I did was to wait & wait. I was afraid that my memory card would run out coz I've only 8GB to spare. I asked him twice for my camera & he was furious and threatened to break my camera. wtff? I worked and saved up to buy a camera for myself & he act as if it's his. He totally ruined my day. I stomped away with watery eyes leaving my camera with him & baby was nice enough to get it back for me. Thanks babyboo! You're the best!

Not long after that, I decided to go home & walked home together with baby & bro. It was quite a walk & midway it started pouring. Thankgod we bumped into bro's friend & he gave us a lift home. Towards the evening, I watched baby, bro & his friends played basketball & I was wondering who's gonna tapao who.. Looks like baby still has it.. He tapao-ed the boys.. He reminded me of how much I used to admire guys back in highschool who were really good in basketball. I guess.. if he was in my high school back then, I'm sure to have my eyes on him.. hahahaa :P

Day 4

I attended early morning church service at 830am before heading off for the last day of MMO 2012. I was hoping for good weather so that the players were able to finish round 3 as it was suspended the day before due to rain & finish the day with round 4. If the tournament was just based on 3 day's score, that'll be so potong steam for everyone. Thankgod it was a bright sunny sunday. Perfect weather for golf!

Baby picked me up from church with a couple who joined us for the day, Michelle & Chua.

He bought us mcd's chicken muffin for brekkie. I'm not so much of a fastfood person but recently i've tried the chicken muffin & it tasted so good. It reminded me so much of their nugget. What more it's only RM 2.50. Extremely affordable :)

The crowd was massive as it was the final day. We were able to find a sweet parking spot under the shade but far far deep in the sports complex.

Once again we were camping at our sweet spot under the shades in between the holes.

Here we have Matteo Manassero teeing off at hole 4 par 3

The couple who joined us. Michelle & Chua :)
Thanks for coming along you guys!

Baby bought brekkie. We look as if we were picnic-ing in the golf course :)

Yumms* To me a burger is not complete without chili sauce :P

Baby enjoying his burgerrr

Hold me tight & never let me go

Piggieboo is the cutest! I lurb you ♥

Matteo Manassero on green 6

After that, we hopped over to another hole to watch Martin Kaymer
There you have him in light blue on the right :)

After Kaymer, we saw David Lipsky who's an ABC teeing off at hole 16

Lastly, we followed the championship flight, Louis Oosthuizen, Jbe Kruger & Hennie Otto

Louis (Blue) Jbe (Green)

Hole 18. Surrounded by so many spectators

Jyothi Randhawa at hole 18

Forgot who's this.. whoops.. While approaching 18 green, his ball landed on one of the marquees's roof & he was given a free drop within 2 club length from point of entry

Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa stripped the title from Matteo Manassero & was crowned as champion in Maybank Malaysian Open 2012 with a total score of 17 under, beating Stephen Gallacher from Scotland by 3 strokes.

I still remember when I first introduced golf to baby, which was a year back, he was all excited bout holding the golf club & he would spend hours practicing in the range to improve his shots. He has become a golf maniac thanks to me.. haha! However, I'm glad that he showed great interest & took up the sport seriously. It'll definitely benefit him in future :)

The first time I brought him to watch a golf game live was last year's Maybank Malaysian Open, followed by the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic Malaysia and Ladies Professional Golf Association. This would be the 4th time we're watching a golf game live together. I'm so glad to have someone like him who shares the same interest even though he took up the sport later. I always enjoy walking around the golf course with him & it feels as if we're talking a stroll in the park..hehee :)

Thanks for the wonderful company, my love! It wouldn't have been the same without you.

Anyways, I would like to share with you some of star players who played which are also my fav too..

☆ Star Player ☆
I was glad that I managed to watch Matteo Manassero, a young cute italian chap who was last year's defending champion which made him the youngest ever winner in the tournament's history *psst psst* He's sis favourite player & she would only step out to the golf course and brace the heat to watch him play...

Unfortunately, he was unable to defend his title this year but he still managed to play a fairly good round with 9 under in which he's tied for 7th place

Last year's Champion for Maybank Malaysian Open 2011, Manassero topped the leaderboard with a total of 16 under (272)

You know what I mean... She was so lucky to snap a shot with him * envy*

☆ Star Player ☆

Besides that, managed to follow Martin Kaymer for a couple of holes. He sure did played some fantastic shots for his last round & shot 9 under after a total of 4 rounds :)

☆ Star Player ☆

Alvaro Quiros was one of the crowd's favourite too. He won the European Tour last year, 2011.

Unfortunately, he struggled to maintain his form and shot a total of 4 under after 4 rounds which put him at 29th place. Nonetheless, it was a great experience to watch him play :)

☆ Star Player ☆

Charl Schwartzel shone in 2012 with two consecutive European Tour wins. He shot 11 under lying 6th place

The last round ended just in time before the sky turn grey. Immediately after the game, we walked towards the entrance & queued for the shuttle bus. My-oh-My.. the queue was insanely long. It was a dreadful wait when you're leg are tired & all you were craving for was something icy cold that'll give you brain freeze. At that moment, I was craving for A&W's rootbeer float. That'll be a bliss. Soon after we got into our car, we went over to ss2 & it was a bummer to find out that A&W was closed for some reason..dammit! We saw a truck which sells coconut water & each one of us took a cup to quench our thirst. Twas soothing :) We took a walk looking for something cold and icy & we came across isenbin - Authentic Taiwanese Handmade Desserts. I have not try other taiwanese desserts other than Snowflakes & so we thought why not give it a try..

I order the soya ice & grassjelly combo with a choice of 3 toppings (Kidney beans, green tea taro balls & pearls) Very similar toppings to what I had the other day, Japan Combo II at Snowflake..

The first thing I noticed, isenbin's ice are pretty rough & aren't that smooth as compared to Snowflakes. You can still taste the ice bits. It's like ice kacang's ice. The toppings were not too bad. However, I just couldn't get used to chewing the ice bits. Definitely prefer Snowflakes over isenbin! Snowflakes FTW! :D

Well, that's pretty much just it for this post on sharing with you my experience in Maybank Malaysia Open 2012.

That's all for now. Thanks for tuning in, lovelies! Have a wonderful week ahead :)

13th April 12'

Helloooo dearies!
How have y'all been? Did you guys notice it's friday the thirteen? Somehow it just crossed my mind *random* Anyways, my one week mid sem break is coming to an end :( Time flies.. felt like it was just yesterday my sem break started.. well well.. Am so not excited to be back in uni next week. It's gonna be a hectic week..

Back to my updates..

Did y'all know Maybank Malaysian Open 2012 is here? I guess it just applies to those who golf..like myself.. i'm a golf if you didn't know.. social golfer ;)
The tournament started yesterday but baby & myself were busy so we went to watch the game today instead. It's held in one the most prestigious golf clubs in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC) which is nearby my place to watch the game. I managed to watched Alvaro Quiros & some of my amature friends who played as well. I'll probably blog more in detail on my next post..

Towards the evening, we left the club just in time before the sky pour. We reached home & got ready real quick & head over to ou along with sis to catch Battleship. On our way to ou, it was raining cats & dogs & we could hardly see the road. Plus traffic was building up & we were afraid that we'll be late for the movie. Thankgod we reached just in time before it started *wheww*

So far Battleship is the movie of the year

I'd give it a 4/5

Action pack with a tinge of love story..

After movie, it was time for din din..
We decided to have Pepper Lunch Express in Food Republic
I don't know why but I think the 'express' outlet taste better than the normal one. Plus its slightly cheaper.
So happens, they were running on a double up deal where you only have a choice of Salmon Pepper Rice + Beef Pepper Rice for RM 18.80 (N.P RM22.80). Twas pretty affordable & so we decided to take the promo set :)

Mine - Salmon Pepper Rice
Well served in sizzling hot plate
I loveeee the corns. They're huge and sweet :)

Baby - Beef Pepper Rice

How do you eat?
1. Mix them up evenly as there is a butter and sauce in the middle of the plate.
2. The more you mix them up, the more delicious!!
3. Lastly, add sauce!! (There's Garlic soy sauce & Honey brown sauce) The meal wouldn't be complete without sauce :)

Mixed

It's really yummeh but very heaty coz they spread generous amount of black pepper, so be sure to drink lots of water or else you might end up with a sore throat.

Before we end the night, we dropped by Snowflakes in Damansara Uptown coz sis was craving for it..
Once we got there, Poor ZenQ next door was so quiet (Pak wu ying - smack flies). Where else, Snowflakes was pretty packed.

I had Japan Combo II for the 1st time.. Usually i'll stick to my all time favourite Soya Series set 2 or 4 :)
For a change, I decided to try something different for that night. The greentea taro balls was something different & it tasted okla..

Greentea taro balls, red bean & mini pearls

Recommended by me, sis had Soya Series set 4

Black Jelly, Red bean, Pearls & Taro

Enjoying our dessert

So happens this year mommy dearest's birthday falls on a public holiday. It has been declared a national public holiday for the installation of the new king. Anyways, its mommy's big day! teehee..

Can anyone of you guess how old is she?

Well, momsie turns 48 this year but she doesn't look like her age, doesn't she.. She's still gorgeous, slim & slender.. I think she looks way younger than her age :)

When it comes to my mom, I'm proud of having her as my beloved mom. My mom is a supermom!

I'm not just saying it for the sake of it but she is. She's the best thing that god has ever given to me!

She's been such a tremendous blessing to me throughout my entire life. She's always there for me & I know I can count on her all the time. She's very supportive in everything that I do & she always give a 110% in everything that she does for me. No one could ever replace her in my heart & I love her with all my heart. Thanks mom for all the things that you've done for me. All the sacrifices, time, effort & money spend on me. I appreciate it very much! Anyways, Happy Birthday, mom! Hope you have a memorable one this year! xoxo :)

Celebrated mom's birthday dinning in River Garden Chinese Cuisine Restaurant, Jalan Ipoh..

It's a decent and rather inexpensive chinese restaurant with an open kitchen concept where you can peek through the class panel to watch the chef cook.

Mom loves chinese cuisine & that explains why we're having it for her birthday celebration :)

6th April 12'

Hey lovelies!
Happy Good Friday! It is a day observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday.
On this day, we christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of Jesus.
Anyways, so did y'all spend your day?
I've no class on friday and so I decided to spend the day with my boy. Ever since he started class this week, he's been pretty tight on schedule and his timetable is all over the place. We could hardly spare each other time cuz when i'm having class, he'll be having break & vice versa *blehh*
Nonetheless, we're trying our best to make things work :)
I went over to his uni during lunchtime, accompanied him, watched him play pingpong & foosball & had lunch at Backofen with his friends.

What's for lunch?
Mine - Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich with roasted potatoes
The portion is quite big. I would say this is very affordable for the price you pay, RM9 and I was full to the brink. The roasted potatoes were well seasoned and it tasted so good except it was a bit toooo oily..

Boyf's - Meatloaf with potato salad
Pretty pricy for such a small portion, RM14. However, it was not too bad & i love the potato salad

Us ♥

Before I ordered, I was eyeing on the cakes and i wanted to have the oreo one. It's so tempting.

After stuffing myself with the sandwich, I had no room for dessert..lol

After lunch, we dropped by Sunway Pyramid to do a little grocery shopping coz we decided to cook dinner..

Before heading to Jusco, we had Moo Cowww for dessert *nyums*

Original flavour topped with oreo bits

In the evening, we prepared dinner together. I made salad & the boyf made the main course

~~Taaaa daaa~~

Dinner is served

Chicken breast marinated with bbq sauce, steamed asparagus & carrots, cherry tomatos & a bowl of yoghurt mixed salad

Yumsss*

After enjoying a satisfying meal, we cleaned up the kitchen and got ready for City Harvest's Easter Service, Chromeheart Revelation

We were running a bit late cuz I helped my boy while he was rehearsing for his presentation the next day.

We reached around 840pm when service started at 830pm. Once we got there, it was full house & we had no place to stand but the stairs. Slowly everyone were filling the stairs..

In between praise & worship, the usherers directed us to sit on the choir's seats & we were right in front of the stage but we had to share seats..

Look at the massive amount of people..

I watched Chromeheart Part 1 last year during christmas & for this easter it's Part 2.

It's okayy if you've missed out part 1 but be sure not to miss out Part 2. The performance is absolutely amazinggg! :D

Check it out yourself! :D
