A Little Bit Of Everything...

The original Valentine's Day has just went by a few days ago, but as for the Chinese's version of Valentine's Day where they actually throw oranges into the sea ..
yadayada, you know the drill..
I've actually wondered, do people actually pick them up?
I'm referring to people in Malaysia, since the tradition started in China I bet they do collect it..
but in Malaysia it is always a whole different thing.
got this from Mary during her trip to Penang recently,
it's actually the rice art thingy inside the dolphin with my name on it (:
As for me , Valentine's Day has always been just another normal occasion spent with friends (:
this year's was a sad one as I was totally busy spending time with my friends doing assignments and
a dear close uncle of mine has passed away on that day itself. May He Rest In Peace now.
Thus this valentine's day has been really hard on me, and of course to my families too.
Well, apparently the Chinese also believed that the last day of Chinese New Year is the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Which leads to a Chinese dinner with Leslie & I; Mary at my current favorite Chinese restaurant nearby our place, Kong Sai.
I've been there quite often but realized I have never blog anything about this wonderful restaurant.
But, that night we started ordering and had a little bit too much of everything,
took us a while to finish everything, but as usual overall food was good and reasonable for 3 person.
That fish, is seriously for 5! not for 3!
and the soup was amazingly good as usual,
Lotus root and peanut soup , always reminds me of home.
By the time we finished the dishes we already have hard time drinking that 2 bowls of soup :/
But, I really did enjoyed dinner that night.
Besides that,
I also noticed that I have way too much food pictures in my folder which I have yet to upload :/
Partly it is also because one of my assignment now requires me to take pictures of everything I eat,
thus I have a lot of pending food pictures from everywhere and thinking if I should upload them..
but for starters, hmm...
the deliciously cushion soft pineapple tart which is famous in Taipei from Denise and
Home made macaroons by my classmate.
I seriously can't wait to try the macaroons in France. Hope I get the chance to.
which leads to my coming trip on Monday,
I'll be flying off to Dubai on Monday and then France (:
Will be away for sometime, until I'm back,
I will miss my family, and him (:
my super-uber tired going to collapse soon face and his usual hyper face.
Till Then.

Kuala Lumpur - Luk Yu Tea House, StarHill Gallery
Saturday, January 29, 2011 //
0 comment(s)
Last weekend,
Leslie and Mary accompanied me down to Bukit Bintang area because I wanted to shop around that area,
so before our shopping journey, we headed to Starhill Gallery for our late lunch + tea session.
Chose this particular place after Loh recommended me the night before,
well I wanted to try the other places out too but I shall leave that for next time.
True enough,
they have this amazing deal for certain dishes at 3-6pm everyday,
which cost only RM3.6 per plate,
and normally will cost you about RM9 and above.
However, what we had here was not entirely RM3.60 each,
some were from the ala carte menu,
and we actually ordered more than this but they didn't have what we wanted :(
Anyways just for testers,
we had these...
1) Chicken Siew Mai
2)Baked Yam Puff
3)Seaweed Chicken Roll
4)Century Egg Roll
5) Lotus Pancake
6)Chicken Porridge
7) Fried Rice Noodle
8) Wan Tan Noodle
9) Sweet & Sour You Tiao
10) Kam Heong Clams
11) Island Salad Prawn
12) Mixberries Ice Tea
13) Cranberry Mojito
Not in order of the pictures though, well I personally will recommend the Baked yam puff , Century Egg Roll, Lotus Pancake , Kam Heong Clams , Mixberries Ice Tea as their best dishes that I've had.
As for the Sweet & Sour You Tiao its actually " yao cha guai " but cooked with sweet and sour sauce, you know the typical sweet and sour sauce for fish ? yeah it tasted like that. Something different I may say.
And I would say their seafood was one of the freshest you can get in KL,
I mean you paid for the price, so it should be worth the money and of course it comes with quality and the ambiance, a different dining experience.
Well our total bill came as MYR 80+ including tax.
That's how the shop look like , very oriental like dining area.
Anyways, its worth the try but next time I'm there I wanna try something else (:
Till Then.

Woo, so it's been a while since I actually updated again.
I've been out pretty often lately during weekends, with Leslie and Mary.
Basically, we're just doing a little shoppings around the malls here and back in kl.
this pics was 2 weeks back I guess, gosh I'm craving for Nandos.
Oh yeah I've managed to met up with Loh and Kelvin two days back,
though it was just a short night having dinner and visiting the old place - Jaafar later on,
we had a great time catching up, well since everyone is pretty busy now.
I heard some rubbish stories from one of them too about the negative rumors that was spread by someone idiotic to strangers & strangers spread to other strangers, that's how sucky it is.
*Says: long gone to your own dramas boy.
* Now I realised, didn't take pictures with them for some time now!
Aside from that ;
managed to watch a few more movies:
Just Wright
BrilliantLove
HappyThankYouMorePlease
The Girlfriend's Boyfriend
I think I love Just Wright & I; The Girlfriend's Boyfriend more but the story line was a tad bit confusing & unexpected.
Put them all aside,
I should be really busy with my internship placement application now,
my coming Chinese New Year break and trip,
and the damn Dissertation due on April 22! Why is it so friggin early?
Anyways,
look out for my next update soon I guess.
Till Then.

Kuala Lumpur - Little Korea & Rak Thai
Tuesday, January 11, 2011 //
0 comment(s)
The continuation of my first week of 2011 was,
still hanging out with the same people which we had Korean Food for dinner, unexpectedly.
Supposed to just eat something light, instead we went and check out this new place - Little Korea
and it wasn't bad at all!
From service, to food preparation and presentation, everything was real good.
Of course, it comes with a price also.
Anyways, this place is more famous for its BBQ stuffs, which I want to try someday!
Due to having cold for days now, have to save it for another day instead.
Oh well, good things always comes to those who wait ! so Patience!
Anyways,
we got a little excited while ordering and end up with a feast.
We had that big bowl of Bul Goki ( for 2 person , but I think its for 4 person instead :/ )
See that last picture? that is actually after they served each of us a bowl, the extras.
RM55 :/
and its tad pricey too cause of the waiter, cooked it in front of us, and the meat is uber tender and fresh.
Ordered Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab ( upper right end picture ) - Rice in Hot Stone Bowl, with minced pork , egg and mixed veggies ( RM 20 )
1 bowl of Gal Bi Tang - Beef Rib Soup ( RM 20 )
The ribs are awfully fresh, just chew on the meat and you can easily get a clean cut off the bones.
One thing special with the soup is, they actually boiled it with ginseng and leeks in it ( notice bottom left end picture)
oh and another dish that I just noticed I forgot to put up,
Hae Mool Pa Jeon - Seafood Pancake ( RM 25 )
and wanna know the surprising fact of this shop? A bowl of rice cost you RM5!
Easily our bill costs RM152 but it was worth it, considering the portion, fresh food and good service.
I mean, I've been to so many restaurants which serves food around this price range but one with all the good stuffs is really rare :D
the next day was spent at Midvalley,
in order to fulfill our craving for Thai food,
came back to Rak Thai for brunch.
This trip back to Rak Thai is kinda disappointing,
the food we ordered were just so-so compared to the previous times.
Mine was the most disappointing one of all, I forgot whats mine called,
but its basically fried noodle with tons of green and red chilies + minced chicken and veges.
It killed me for a moment there, sweat while eating + worsen my flu.
I did not eat even 1/4 of the whole thing.
Really terrible, I will never order it anymore.
Mary ordered mango chicken chop with rice and Leslie's was the BBQ chicken that I had last time.
The desserts was awesome though, especially that red water chestnut with jackfruit :D
and then I got myself a new toy lens at Gardens,
Leslie became my first model, heheheh! :P

the Star burst effect ;D

Spent my first week of new year,
well the night before coming back to KL spent my night having dinner with my parents at Rasa Nyonya
Its been a while since I've been there,
I remembered my parents used to take us here almost every weekend few years back.
I remembered my parents used to take us here almost every weekend few years back.
We had the local Nyonya dishes and everything still tastes the same as before.
The fish is always fresh, and that night I tried out their recommended Sago Melaka dessert,
with chucks of papaya and nata de coco and jelly base, too bad it was too sweet to my liking.
After shopping a while at Tong Hing, I then headed to @tmosphere to catch up with my high school mates who came back from UK and also who is now a raising blogger,
who started out blogging back in Form 4?
If I remembered correctly :P

Well, this few days back, I had my classes resumed.
5 more months of studies to be exact, which will pass by really fast.
Especially when I only have 3 days of classes a week, not to say I'm very free,
it means that I have more workload to do :(
it means that I have more workload to do :(
So far I'm kinda enjoying my classes, but I knew it won't be easy either.
Currently, I'm really stressed out because I have so much things to worry about for these 5 months.
Anyways, I met up with Loh for dinner few days back.
Poor guy now is really sick, and he just came back from New Zealand.
Then we went to buy lingerie for his girlfriend, because he was too shy to go alone :P
last 30 minutes before pyramid closes, this is what he decided to get,
roughly on his mind he had this idea anyway.
roughly on his mind he had this idea anyway.
Then, two nights back it was a laid-back Friday.
Technically, it always has been.
Spent the night hanging out with Mary and Leslie again,
it's been a while so we headed to Asia Cafe for dinner.
We had a lot of food :/ each one of us end up ordering one extra side dishes,
these are just a few. Amazing how we can eat so much :/
and then we went to McDonalds for supper.
Time passed by so quickly when you're enjoying, just chit-chatting away :)
Well, gotta go meet them up again now.
Will continue update real soon :)
Till Then.

Kuala Lumpur - SOULed Out Restaurant & Bar, Ampang
Monday, December 6, 2010 //
0 comment(s)
Last friday night,
after resting and done with my packing,
I headed out with Denise for dinner at a place called
Souled Out Restaurant and Bar.
Apparently,
this place wasn't what I expect it to be.
The ambiance I mean, its so different.
Was expecting fully air-con place, and live bands and etcs,
but turns out it has 70% of its restaurant open air, and no live band but DJ is around to spice things up.
But I really liked it,
because the food was up to my expectations, and the beverages are unique in its own ways.
the only downside to it was,
there was a lot of parties going on that night.
like 3-4 huge crowds which 2 was just next to our table.
We sat near the DJ and the crowds was making tons of noise it gets so irritating
until they closed the door then everything was fine again.
So, just a few pictures from that place.
the view from upstairs, the place we sat.
our carbonara pasta with ham and button mushroom , very delicious ;)
Denise's
my date for the night :)
Mine,
mixture of sour sop, guava, strawberry, mango = exotic bliss
it tasted sweet and its just nice to my liking.
I love it.
Our BBQ chicken pizza,
nyumnyums.
Overall,
it is a good place to dine in and chill out whether it is with your lover/ friends.
Good music, great food and beverages and lovely ambiance.
Did I mention,
it was also voted as one of the best casual dining restaurant by Hospitality Asia Platinum Award 2010-2012.
and the management is actually the same management as 7atenine( not sure about the 7atenine that I visited in SG before but definitely is the same as the KL ones )
Do check them out here : SouledOut

Kuala Lumpur - Sanuki Udon, Taman Desa
Thursday, November 18, 2010 //
0 comment(s)
Today,
I finally tasted, Japanese Udon with a bunch of classmates at a place called, Sanuki Udon.
This place is located amazingly far, from our university, but since we have like 4 hours break, we end up here.
It is located at Taman Bukit Desa.
At first,
this place looks kinda old for a Japanese restaurant but then the food was amazingly good.
the udon is special as it is freshly made by the Japanese chef itself and when you taste it,
you can really tell the difference, really smooth, and easy to chew on.
Certainly the price was not what I've expected too.
It was rather cheap, from a minimum price of RM5- and maximum RM8 ?
and you can get any extra toppings for RM1-RM2 each,
bet if its in the shopping malls you won't even get these prices.
Few of the pictures of just a few of the Udons I tasted today,
" Cha Cheong " style , peanut-ish sweet sauce , taste just nice too!
"Original" noodle , the soup tasted like seaweed
Curry Udon is what I ordered, and it tasted really good , not spicy at all :)
till then.

Kuala Lumpur - Piccadilly, Ninja Joe, Toilet Concept Restaurant
Monday, November 15, 2010 //
0 comment(s)
Past pictures from Simon's Birthday party at Piccadilly.
Piccadilly is a place where you can find all sorts of local and western food, a place for chilling with friends to have beers or shisha at a reasonable price.
Yesterday I was out with my cousin doing my phone stuffs and
we spent our remaining time trying out 2 newly opened restaurants at Sunway Pyramid.
It was Ninja Joe,
a Japanese fast food which serves pork burgers !
The pork patty was very tender indeed, very easy in the mouth,
you can't even fill it when you're biting it.
Their burger size however was really small,
probably size of a doughnut at RM5.50 each, or you can order up to 6 at one go at RM23.90,
with 6 different flavors for one each ;D
I had The Big Boss instead,
normal size burger, with normal pork patty,
and inside there's egg.
I asked for bacon and cheese which is an additional of RM1 each
but they ran out of bacon :(
Ordered a side dish called Shuriken ,
its actually potato and pork meat nugget,
imo it was delicious but it would be better if it has lesser oil and, its crunchier like normal nugget.
After that we met up with another cousin of mine whom I have not met for more than 10 years.
She's a future lawyer, and she looked so so so different from the last time I met her.
We decided to watch Megamind 3D then, thus we bought our movie ticket and then head to
the Toilet Bowl Restaurant, which actually is just right next to Ninja Joe.
They both had Banana split and I had Fruit Mix.
Mine was actually presented with 4 little chocolate bear biscuits, fresh cut strawberries, chunks of mangoes , a scoop of vanilla ice cream with shaved ice.
I seriously felt so happy eating it, like a kid.
The banana split was presented with 2 crispy waffles, 3 scoops of ice cream - chocolate, vanilla and strawberry , not to forget , smarties!
The bowl that they used resembled the toiletries or toilet units, ours was presented in a light blue bath tub. Unique, however I think that the overall interior of the restaurant could be better.
Service wise it was a bit bad, as they don't have enough staffs thus it was rather slow.
Aside from that, the food I think it was alright and quite reasonable.
Well,
the movie Megamind was just alright to me.
Nothing really special, though it was funny at some parts.
That concludes my sunday night (:
This week is the last week of class.
3 more days to be precise.
Then its study leave,
and exams.
time flies!
tata.
