Colourful yummy macaroons at RM2 each

A macaroon is a type of light, baked confections, described as either small cakes or meringue-like cookies depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds" similar to Italian or Moroccan amaretti.

Tarbush Restaurant

chicken briyani

I usually went to Tarbush at Ampang Point for a juicy kebab years ago. After that they’ve spread their wings first with a nice lot on Bukit Bintang and then pride of place at the Starhill Gallery.

shish kebab

This is a beautiful restaurant with contemporary Arabic deco. When you seat yourselves down, perhaps have a sip or two of their mint tea.Being a Lebanese restaurant, most people come here for the meat.A good way to sample food here is by trying their mixed grill that comes with different combinations of shish tawook and kebabs, with some sides of rice and Lebanese bread. Portions here are big so I usually share a meal with my youngest sister.

The main entrance of the De Chiang Mai restaurant

This famous restaurant nestled in a village located somewhere in Sg Buloh. I came here so many times mostly with my husband and my in-laws. I still remember the first time trying to go there, we missed the small 'kampung' road and nearly lost our way.
We usually pay a visit in the afternoon for lunch. If you sit next to the window, you can see a small farm planted with lemongrass and vegetables.

Famous mixed thai tom yum..so yummy

Fried siakap thai-style

Fried thai meehoon, lots of lemongrass..smells good and tasty too

Laksa shack

2009-03-31T18:00:00.000-07:00

I'm a big fan of laksa besides noodles soup. I have tasted different types of laksa such as laksa kedah, laksa perlis, assam laksa, laksa penang, laksa sarawak, laksa johor and laksam (just to name a few). But my favourite is laksa kedah because it is a common laksa that you can find in Parit Buntar, Perak (my mom's hometown). Laksa kedah is a noodle dish in spicy fish broth topped with various shredded vegetables. I have been eating laksa kedah since I was a kid until today so whenever I 'balik kampung', laksa hunting will surely be in my to-do-list. Why? Because the laksa in my kampung tastes better than any part in M'sia for two things: 1. the ingredients are from the finest based on recipe that was inherited long time ago 2. it brings back the nostalgic memories and good feelings.

Nowadays when I'm in KL..besides going to many stalls that served delicious laksa, I also go to Laksa shack.. a restaurant specializing in laksa.For more info on their menu do check http://www.laksashack.com.my/

Curry laksa: A Coconut Milk curry served with Yellow Mee, comes with Chicken, Tofu, Prawn, Fish Cake and Mint leaves.

Asam laksa: Lai Fun in a Piquant Broth flavored with Ikan Kembong comes with Onion,Pineapple, Cucumber, Ginger flower, Mint leaves and Prawn paste.

Twilight Saga : Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse & Breaking Dawn

2008-12-22T18:40:00.000-08:00

Hi..it has been a long time since my last review on foods.
At the moment, I am preoccupied with the twilight saga novels after watching the movie last week. The movie can't really satisfy my thirst for details of the characters such as Isabella Swan, Edward & the Cullens family. Personally, I always love vampires stories. When I was 15, I read The Vampire Diaries series and fallen in love with the characters.

However, I have much difficulty trying to buy all the series part 1,2,3 & 4 after the movie was released. To my suprised all were sold out at many bookstores such as MPH (Alamanda, Subang Parade, Curve, SACC) and Borders (Curve). I was frustrated at first and later decided to pre-book the series on mphonline.com. Just to make sure the novels arrive on my doorstep before they get into the bookstores. Luckily, I already received the Twilight and New Moon and still waiting for the others. My husband just smile at my obsession with these characters in Twilight and teasing me as being the 'late teenager' eventhough I still feel as if I'm seventeen at heart when reading these novels :)

For your info, Twilight is a series of four vampire-based fantasy/romance novels by the American author Stephenie Meyer. It follows the adventures of Isabella "Bella" Swan, a teenager who moves to Forks, Washington, and finds her life turned upside-down when she falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen.

My work trip to germany last month

2008-12-16T23:49:00.000-08:00

Hi, these are few pictures that I would like to share with readers out there. It's a 2 weeks work trip to Germany which I have attended in November. Autumn was at 5 to 10 degrees Celcius during the day and the temperature dropped from 1 to 3 degrees at night. I really enjoyed my stay there. It took us nearly 16 hours from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) via Changi Airport, Singapore (3 hours transit) to our destination, Frankfurt.

Our company bought a new analytical instrument from Germany to analyse C,N,S elements in fertilizer, plant and soil. Therefore I was sent to the manufacturer's headquater to learn on the application, operation and maintenance of this particular instrument. The HQ was located in Hanau, a small town near Frankfurt (about 30 minutes drive) and famous for its Brothers Grimm .

The training was free and part of the purchase agreement, I've met few participants from US and India too. The manufacturer want to make sure that all customers were properly trained. For example in my case, I had the chance to discuss with their chemist and engineer on solutions to my problems when using the instrument. The training lasted for a week, so we have another week for sightseeing at our own expenses. During a tour around the HQ, I was informed on the production of different models of their instruments. The interesting part was all instruments were made only when they received orders from customers worldwide. Amazing just to think it was actually 'sort of' a handmade instrument instead of being produced by machines for mass production.

After the training, I stayed at National Hotel in Frankfurt which situated nearby the Frankfurt Main Train Station for one night.( My journey in Frankfurt onwards was already planned and paid or some pre-booked from Malaysia using Internet and credit cards through their websites. I would like to thank Tripadvisor.com for their reviews which helped me when booking several hotels in Frankfurt and Paris.). Then, I took an ICE train to Paris Est. Train Station, France. The scenery during the four hours journey by train was breathtaking considering this was my first trip there. In Paris, I stayed at the Du'cadran hotel which was ten minutes walk to Eiffel Tower. It was a nice hotel with good location and friendly staffs especially at the front desk. They were more than willing to go that extra mile and provided me with all the necessary informations during my stay at the hotel. They also speak perfect English which was a big relief because I don't understand French at all except for few words like bonjour, merci, bon voyage, le chateau, femme, marche, musee and oui ;)

After a pre-booked guided minibus tour by a famous Paris sightseeing agency I went back to Frankfurt and stayed at Concorde Hotel. I have stayed in Paris for two nights and managed to visit many famous monuments, museums, historical places, artist square(Place du Tertre) and especially the Eiffel Tower. One of the most memorable experience was a cruise along Seine River at night with the city illuminated by lights. Paris indeed has many nicknames, but the most famous is 'The City of Lights'. Besides that, I also visited Versailles and its huge palace where Marie Antoinette spent her life before she was executed by guillotine at the height of the French Revolution in 1793 for the crime of treason.

Just want to share my experience here that throughout the journey I found DB Bahn was a superb, hassle free, comfortable and enjoyable way to travel in Germany. I even bought extra Rail passes for 4 days. Rail passes that I bought can be used for 4 days with unlimited rides using German trains at a much cheaper price. Even though some of my collegues suggested to fly with Lufthansa (budget flight)but I prefer to enjoy the scenery by trains. I also had the chance to visit Zeil, a popular shopping area in Frankfurt; I have visited Cologne and Heidelberg too. Frankly speaking, I really enjoyed my training and sightseeing there. Even though, when I got back to M'sia I realized that I have spent more money than I intended to :O (OMG!)
