It was a lovely evening where the shining sun is slowly setting and the breeze is lightly blowing…

The photographers and I had been invited to Chef Najib Hamid’s beautiful bungalow for a fun photoshoot and of course, food tasting!

The soothing sound of the running water when we arrived at the Balinese style bungalow.

Fishes swam freely by the door step.

Oh the sweet-smelling greens that perfumed the entire garden.

The embossed baba-nyonya tiled wooden dining set, set beside the Balinese-styled pool was simply elegant.

Entering the tropical home.

Love the old-fashioned and nicely carved wooden door.

The living room that I will definitely spend hours reading my favorite book and have tea in this lovely evening.

Tropically designed.

A cosy spot for you to chill and relax.

 A see-through wall.

 Lovely white benches.

 Outdoor swimming pool shower.

 White wooden mailbox

 Loving the tropical feel.

 It’s been a while since I alst rode a bicycle.

 Skinny-dipping? or Sun-tanning? Your choice.

 Esty by the pool.

Thirst-quenching chilled lime juice with orange slices.

Well-prepared cutleries.

 Thai-style prawns and squids for appetizer.

Fried butter prawns.

Chilled watermelon cubes topped with Persian feta, basil and balsamic vinegar.

The Portobello mushroom pesto bruschetta.

A huge portobello mushroom, stuffed with steamed couscous and laced with fintel. It was topped with Napoli sauce and had a sprinkling of feta cheese. The juicy and unexpected flavours were utterly pleasing.

Next was pan-fried cod, lightly crisp on the outside and soft and moist inside. 

The potato fondant which accompanied the fish enhanced its flavour.

The flame-grilled sirloin angus (with pumpkin puree, onion relish, filed mushroom and sautéed asparagus) was perfectly medium rare and tender.

Banoffee with deliciously cooked sliced bananas and crisp almond tart shell for dessert!

A closer shot of the lip-smacking dessert.

Heavenly creamy!

Last but not least, the Tiramisu topped with healthy nuts and raisins.

Can’t get enough of it!

Chef Najib and his gorgeous fiancee.

Handsome kiddo. The prince of the family.

Najib’s planning to open his own restaurant very soon in Subang Jaya, so stay tuned!

With love, luck & laughter……Esty.

It was just about 2 months ago when I went on a trip to Guangzhou, visiting the Canton Fair (known as the largest China import and export fair), and discovering the best Cantonese delicacies in the city itself.

My favorite travel wallet where I keep my passport, boarding pass, and other important documents.

Was surprised to see that just how cute my flight to Guangzhou is.

Air Asia’s Junior Jet Club. Adorable, isn’t it? *grins*

I saw my little red luggage! Just right there, sandwiched in the middle.

And surprisingly enough, I was on cloud nine to know that my friend was the co-pilot to fly the plane to Guangzhou when the Captain announced who his First Officer was.

So we ended up chatting away at the back of the aircraft, and I was introduced to the hot cabin crews on board.

Oh lucky me! 

 Carts of warmly kept delicious in-flight meal.

They were so nice to give me a box of Krispy Kreme, a cup of hot coffee, and a bottle of water.

Guess my flight wasn’t so boring afterall. 

Yummy Yum! Everything tastes extremely good when you’re flying on a plane.

And then I was invited into the cockpit!

It’s my turn to control the flight deck.

Hello there sexy pilot, Edmund Tan!

Arrived safely in Guangzhou. *flying kisses*

Salute to the pilots who flew us there safely.

Oh did I mention that the landing was perfectly smooth too?

Captain and the co-pilot. *winks*

And then… 

My Very First Meal in Guangzhou!

 The famous Fast-Chinese-Food chain in China, the “真功夫”.

Looked like a KFC to me, but indeed they serve undeniably good Chinese food! 

 My Dinner Set. Well, supper actually.

 Fragrant steamed rice.

 Delectable steamed pork cake with preserved vegetables in it. 

 Mouth-watering chicken herbal soup that I was happily slurping away.

 Silky smooth steamed egg that was extremely irresistible.

 Another dish of heavenly steamed pork.

Well-seasoned steamed vegetables. 

Little curry fishballs.

Literally means “Real KungFu”.

Happily stuffing myself  in Guangzhou.

At first I thought that was a beansprout in that bowl of steamed egg.

Then only I found out that it’s a cute little fresh Anchovy!

Till then loves!

Will see you in the next entry on my Little Travel Journal.

Yours truly, Esty.

COOKING PASSIONS WITH HOTEL NIKKO KUALA LUMPUR

“Wanted to specialize in cooking for family with different menu? Tantalize them with the attractive Dim Sum as breakfast! The unique culinary art of Dim Sum originated with the Cantonese in Southern China. Dim Sum is usually liked with the older tradition of Yum Cha (drink tea) from a relaxing respite to a loud and happy dining experience. Besides that, Yum Cha also treated as a weekend family day.”

- Hotel NIkko Kuala Lumpur

I’m lovin’ the art of making Dim Sum! 

 Dim Sum has always been my favorite for breakfast, and it was undeniably a great opportunity to actually learn how to do it in the spacious kitchen of the renowned Nikko Hotel just last week, together with my fellow foodies.

Frankly, I’m not a good cook.

But I can definitely make good Dim Sum now! *grins with self-satisfaction*

Let’s start off with our first Dim Sum!

Steamed Diced Chicken Dumpling with Scallops

Wanton Skin is definitely a MUST for making Dim Sum.

Corn flour as one of the seasoning.

Chicken seasoning powder and salt.

30grams of sugar.

My favorite sesame oil that smells incredibly good.

Cubed chicken drumstick.

Sliced scallops.

Chef Lo guiding us step by step.

Mix the cubed chicken meat with the seasoning ingredients, and mix well.

My evenly mixed chicken.

Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the centre of the wanton skin.

Gather up the edges of the wanton skin around the filling and top up with one slice of scallop and flatten the base.

Another chef complained that I put too many slices of scallops on top and was helping me to redo it.

*pulls a grumpy face*

My basket of huge dumplings!

Big fat “Siew Mai” ready to be steamed, for approximately 5 minutes.

What’s NEXT?

Deep Fried Crispy Prawn Dumpling with Thousand Island Sauce

600grams of prawns for the filing.

Chicken Seasoning Poweder and Salt.

30grams of sugar.

Another 30grams of Sesame oil.

40grams of corn flour.

24 pieces of big Wanton Skin.

Add in the seasoning items and manually blend them together with the prawns until paste like.

Take a piece of wanton skin and place one teaspoon of filling onto the centre of the wanton skin.

Fold the skin into a triangle shape.

Neatly tight the edges of the wanton skin.

My plate of Prawn Dumpling ready to be fried until golden in colour.

With a wooden clip that stated the letter “I”.

Third Dim Sum!

Steamed Fish Ball with Chopped Coriander Leaf

Mackerel and Cuttlefish meat.

Mix the ingredients together, add in the seasoning and water slowly while mixing thoroughly by hand.

Shape into round balls and arrange on plate.

Steam for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steamed fish ball is one of my favorites too!

Witch and I having fun at the culinary workshop!

Last but not least.

Deep fried Sweet Potato Balls coated with Sesame Seed

300grams of sweet potato (to mash).

200grams of Glutinous Rice Flour.

80grams of shortening.

A plate of white sesame.

Mash and mix the sweet potatoes with the glutinous rice flour.

Shape dough into balls.

And then coat the sweet potato balls with the sesame seeds.

Shape it again to make sure the sesame seeds are all stick onto the dough.

When ready, deep fry the sweet potato balls and drain out the oil.

Our dirty hands!

Done learning all four Dim Sums!

At the Toh Lee Chinese Restaurant, patiently waiting for the chef to cook my Dim Sum.

All the dim sums that we made earlier were properly segregated by alphabets, and mine was the letter “I”.

Finally! My plate of Deep Fried Crispy Prawn Dumpling that was so juicy and mouth-watering.

Witch and I contentedly pleased with what we’ve learned throughout the workshop.

Beautiful bags of Dim Sum for us to bring back home, thanks to Nikko Hotel!

“Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards.”

Well then what’s better than lying back on a comfortable white couch with colorful pillows around while reading your favorite book by your adored author in a cosy and quiet spot?

And most importantly with a table full of desserts as your company and a cuppa hot latte for you to sip routinely.  Now you can’t do that in a library can you?

I found just the perfect place!

The Huckleberry.

Located right in the middle of the flipping pages for all ages – Times Bookstore, Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Yup! Never enough. *grins*

The cosy surroundings.

You can either choose to become a couch potato or sit up straight gracefully at the dining table.

The delectable attraction!

Huckleberry’s business card.

Varieties of colorful dessert for you to choose.

The bunting that says it all.

Cute boxes for you to take away the desserts.

Empty glasses waiting to be filled with caffeinated beverages.

I would certainly love to have a coffee maker like this in my room.

Can’t wait to order as much as I can.

Bickford’s Old Style Sodas!

Comes in different flavors.

 Lemon Lime seems refreshing!

They look like giant candies, don’t they?

And a cup of hot Cappuccino to end my little dessert buffet.

 Now…

Back to “Eclipse” before the motion picture starts showing in the cinemas next month!

Ahh..I’m sucha fan of the Twilight saga.

Following the announcement of the exciting deal at Milan and San Francisco in mid-Feb, the partnership between SKYY Vodka and the second edition of the Sex and the City film reached another city.

The fans of the much anticipated movie in Malaysia also joined in celebration during the launch of the limited edition of SKYY Vodka at the swanky Sultan Lounge in Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on May 26.

 The statuesque ice sculpture.

 Free flow of SKYY Vodka cocktails for the guests.  

 With slices of fresh lemon in it.  

 Invited guests chattering happily with glasses of cocktails in their hands.

One of my favorite lovebirds. 

 Witch and I. 

 Uli and JayMee, the marketing director of EverQuest Sdn.Bhd.

 Taufulou.com and I. 

 Bumped into Mervin at the launch party.

The celebrated fashion icon and Sex and the City 2 costume designer Patricia Field is the key figure in heightening the appeal for the brand’s international campaigns.

Besides serving as the spokesperson, she has been offering her designing talents to elevate the elements linked with the film directed by Michael Patrick King with the familiar foursome cast of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.

In the first ever cobalt blue SKYY bottle’s iconic change, Field added the movie theme design on the limited-edition of SKYY Vodka Sex and the City 2 bottle. 

Field said: “Most stylish moments of Sex and the City were about the ladies dressed up bonding over fun cocktails out in Manhattan. SKYY Vodka has always been a brand with style. So, I was thrilled to create something special that celebrates those special ‘cocktail couture’ moments that truly are the essence of SKYY and Sex and the City.”

Encouraged by the success of the partnership in the first film, SKYY Vodka has extended the alliance with Warner Bros. Entertainment to continue their effort in defining the sophisticated cocktail culture around the globe including the promotional initiatives to showcase the cocktail couture.

The four new seductive concoctions inspired by the movie for the fairer sex are Glamour Girl, Blonde Ambition, Park Avenue Princess and Red Over Heels while Mr. Manhattan is the single masculine mixture.

SKYY Vodka Signature Cocktails inspired by Sex and the City 2

Which one are you? 

 Glamour Girl Carrie

A classic cocktail with a sweet and colorful twist, the Glamour Gal is a girl’s best friend. Always uniquely dressed for the occasion and decked out from head to toe, she makes an entrance like only a true New York fashion maven can. 

Busy Beauty Miranda

  With a set of killer stilettos and a busy schedule ahead, you are ready to take on any challenge in life and love. The best thing is you’ll never be too busy to look beautiful. Showcasing a blend of grapes and lemon, garnished with Basil leaves, Busy Beauty will leave you head over heels and litigating for more.

 Mr.New York Mr.Big

At the center of a love/hate relationship that’s impossible to resist, no man makes or breaks a woman’s SKYYline like the always-dapper Mr. New York. A not-so-classic elixir that keeps our girl on her toes, this drink is big enough to handle any black tie affair.

Fabulous Flirt Samantha

Fabulous Flirt is dripping with an unparalleled allure so bold and sexy, you’ll refuse to settle for anything less. With an untouchable blend of sensuous orange and raspberries, just one sip will stay you all night long.

Pretty Princess Charlotte

 Strutting her way down Fifth and Madison, a classically styled Pretty Princess is easy to love and impossible to ignore. Bubbly with just a hint of the dramatic, this drink is refreshing, with a dash of the bold and unexpected matched only by its lovely Sex and the City™ inspiration.

What is more?

Although the movie will only appear in the local cinemas in Malaysia on June 17, Albert Wines assistant brand manager Winnie Tan said they are hosting a special preview for their consumers purchasing the new limited edition bottle at the GSC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on June 15, in which I got invited too!

“We are not only inviting them to join us for a special occasion and be among the early viewers to watch the movie here. A lucky winner will also be going home with the grand prize of a trip for two including air tickets and accommodation to New York,” she added.

Now where’s my caramel popcorn? 

Ever wonder what to eat in Sunway Giza?

Ya. The new “TTDI-Plaza-look-alike” that is located in Kota Damansara.

Well there I was.

Doing a food review on this interesting kitchen and bistro named “Cravings”.

The menu that introduces many special dishes!

Loving the spiral stairs that leads you to the second floor of the restaurant where you can chill and relax with your friends on the comfortable sofas or by the bar.

A private corner for gatherings.

Cocktail anyone?

My hot cup of latte with a sweet heart on it.

*slurps* hmm…How I wish I can have this every single morning.

Banana Wilberry Tea @RM10.90

Banana beverage sounded really weird at first, but when I first took a sip, it was good.

Really good.

Lime Passion Fruit Tea @RM10.90

Cool and refreshing.

Frappe Mocha @RM11.90

What more can I say when I’m such a big fan of the whipped cream on top.

*winks*

Cappuccino @ RM8.90

With the amount of milk like that, it’s undeniably smooth and creamy.

*grins*

Lookin’ at my table settings made me go all excited on what I’m going to have for dinner.

Chicken Soup with Herbs (RM6.90)

My all time favorite broccoli.

Really good for health, ya know?

Sichuan Noodle with Crysanthemum (RM 9.90)

Sichuan never taste bad, do they?

Kongguksu (Korean Noodle in Soy) (RM12.90)

Well this is seriously one helluva unique dish.

Soya bean based soup.

Glass noodles.

Dried white fungus.

Apple slices.

Served cold.

You might not be used to the exotic taste but this is indeed a healthy dish, and definitely worth trying!

5 different special sauces that were served – Sambal petai, Kimchi, Coleslaw, Baked beans and black pepper sauce.

Halloween Dinner @RM23.90

With its delicate flavor and rich aroma of the pumpkin that adds a touch of indulgence, it was such a delicious dish of fragrant fried rice that I will certainly go back for more!

Cravings 12-inch Monster Burger @ RM25.90.

Just look at how tall it is!

With it’s undeniably reasonable price and the monster size, I’ve no idea why it is not worth a try especially when you are having a dinner date with your significant other where both of you can lovingly share the burger.

Stuffed grilled Chicken with Sausage and Ham.

Ya. Which is quite similar to a plate of Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Delhi Fried Rice (RM 23.90)

Oh the irresistible big prawn!

Grilled Lamb with Black Pepper Sauce (RM 34.90)

Fish and Wedges with a squeze of lemon and Tartar sauce.

Well it might not look good on the outside.

BUT…

I must say that the fresh Dory fish underneath the fried breaded skin is surprisingly juicy and very much tasty!

Grilled Steak with Hot Chili Salsa (RM 34.90)

Meet the friendly and passionate Chef Calvin himself .

I was given a cute tiny little ”Cravings” badge.

Guess I’m now a certified fan eh? *smiles*

Last but not least…

I’ve vouchers up to 50% discount to be given out especially to you food lovers!

Do let me know if you plan to give it a try at Cravings alright?

No terms and conditions applied. *winks*

Always yours truly, Esty.

Was invited by a dear friend from Advertlets to join them in a media screening for Toy Story 3 on 11th of June, 2010.

Exactly a week earlier before the movie is up on cinemas!

I was even more excited when he told me that we are going to meet Woody and Buzz in person before the movie.

Woody and Buzz? Really??

Eah.

Really.

So, we were at the centre court of  Mid Valley one hour before the movie, where the launching of Toy Story 3 held.

And of course, the meet and greet with the 2 superstars!

The CEO of Disney Malaysia proudly presenting the latest Toy Story.

The launching ceremony with Woody and Buzz! Oh how I wish I was up there too.

Well at least there was a group picture with the charming Woody and the macho Buzz. Spot me!

With Wai Yan the cutie pie.

The girls and Josh, the founder of Advertlets.

The adorable ticket for the media screening which I’m so gonna keep in my scrapbook. *grins*

And then, the MOVIE time!

Toy Story 3 was absolutely fantastic!!

 Even better than the latest Shrek I must say.

With uncontrollable laughter and undoubtedly tears shedding moments, what more can you ask for in a good movie like this?

And oh OH! These three little peas were super duper cute in the movie you’re gonna go “Awww…” when you see them.

I brought my babygirl, Shantee along and we had a great time. Especially when this was her first time watching a 3D movie. *giggles*

P/s : I’m never gonna throw my toys away.

P/p/s : Yes. I’m already 25 and I still have my toys with me.

P/p/p/s : All of them.

Mildly twisted.

Massively fascinating!

Boo!  Esty the Red Indian.

“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” Alice.

“Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!” Rabbit.

“What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversation”, Alice.

“Speak English! I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and I don’t believe you do either!” Eaglet.

 “Curiouser and curiouser!” Alice.

 “If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does”, The Duchess.

“If it had grown up, it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think”, Alice.

“We’re all mad here”, The Cat.

“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir, because I’m not myself you see”, Alice.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you’re at”, The Hatter.

“Off with her head!” The Queen.

“Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.” The Duchess.

“Why is a raven like a writing desk?” The Hatter.

“We called him Tortoise because he taught us”, The Mock Turtle.

“Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense”, The Mock Turtle.

“Sentence first — verdict afterwards”, The Queen.

“Tut, tut, child! Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.” The Duchess.

“Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is — oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!” Alice.

“You’re nothing but a pack of cards!” Alice.

“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop”, The King.

“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision”, The Mock Turtle.

“Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin”, Alice.

“Ah! Then yours wasn’t a really good school. Now at ours they had at the end of the bill. French, music, and washing — extra”, The Mock Turtle.

“It was much pleasanter at home, when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits”, Alice.

“There’s a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is — The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours”, The Duchess.
