Makan

I have been missing from my blog for almost 2 months

No idea why... and it doesn't matter... my makan post is here again ;)

Decoration in this restaurant at Tenjin @ Millenium Hotel KL is bit old,

Foods served was bit slow, lucky part is the foods tasted not bad,

Shashimi was fresh, especially the salmon slices I love the most.

Meal came in as set lunch, overall is above everage for the meal.

I love their green tea ice-cream, it's so creamy  and with strong ocha smell!

I enjoyed this meal with the coupon voucher I bought online.

Normal charges for the set lunch is RM60.30.

En Ginza Cafe @ Pavilion Level 6 sells fresh buns and patries in variety choices

Buns are unique and special with their own recepi... Bought few buns for our tea time

Bit of pricey as compare to others sold in normal bakery house

Yet it's a good try for me to taste their unique french baking buns!

Mochi Sweets @ Pavilion Level 6 sells mochi directly imported from Japan

A mochi that is highly recommended by Melissa to me

She bought a box of six mochis at RM21.00

She treated me one black sesame mochi, tasted good~

Not too sweet, I like it :)

Watami @ Paradigm Mall serve good japanese foods

Cousin Autumn loves to dine here always

She brought me here, while we were doing shopping at this newly open mall

Foods here is bit pricey as compared to Zanmai Sushi, yet yummy!

Not a bad choice for a good japanese meal.

Nice decoration in Paradise Dynasty @ Paradigm Mall

Love the big Buddha in the restaurant

Frankly, food served here not beating Dragon-i

Cousin and me were dropping in here for the unique xiao long bao in 8 flavours

Yet, taste were so weird, we didn't really enjoy xiao long bao

We still prefer the origin flavour of xiao long bao from Dragon-i

Nice Thai foods at My Elephant Thai @ Aman Suria

Authentic Thai cusine in this simple deco restaurant

They are serving set lunch with reasonable price at lunch time

Dinner is more on order from the menu

Not a bad choice for dinner, as it's near to my house lolsss

Bought a coupon from Groupon

For the the wagyu beef steak from S' More @ Bangsar South

A worth buying with a creamy mushroom soup and good medium cooked steak

 The meat was so tender, juicy and fresh... so delicious!

It's a good dinner after the busy day of work!

Good deal we have had!

We came to Hayaki @ Damansara Uptown for their famous nasi dagang and nasi kukus

which was highly recommended by my client to me

Lai couple, Kenny couple and me loved their nasi dagang

as we have never find such a tasty authentic nasi dagang in KL

It's with a reasonable price... RM7.90 for nasi dagang with kari ikan

while RM9.90 for nasi kukus with ayam goreng.

High tea with lovely Teresa at Delicious @ Bangsar Village 2

We have got this good deal by buying coupon from everyday.com.my

Hot coffee, sweet dessert, yummy sandwiches, good companion

Finally, I have my dining at Betty Midwest Kitchen @ Aman Suria

Everytime I passed by Betty, it always with a long queue, I wonder why?

Now I know it, Betty serve delicious western meal~

Have ordered the soup of the house, baby pork rib and pork chop with apple

Both dishes are yummy... it's worth to queue up for the meal!

Good foods with reasonable price!

Ohh... this I love much too!

简单煮家菜

妈妈的红鸡蛋 + 酸姜

妈妈教我，加点麻油同生抽，与酸姜掺埋
把鸡蛋剥壳，放点调味好的酸姜，一起吃

哇~好吃到~无得顶!!!

我锺意咯！

我煮的简单的一碗面

唯一面 + 江鱼仔汤底

鱼蛋是在我家乡的一个面档买的

这鱼蛋味道好，好似冨山点心的鱼蛋一样的好吃

简单又好吃!

鱼肉蒸蛋，我第一次煮

从食谱里学的

煮法简单：将鱼肉切块，加少许盐和浆粉（太白粉）腌五分钟。

打蛋，加入半小杯水和少许盐，与蛋一起打。

跟住將鱼肉块放进碟，蒸3分钟，再加入打好的蛋，

再蒸到蛋熟變滑，蒸蛋呢个时侯要睇火，不要把蛋蒸老。。

最后，搅混爆香蒜蓉,麻油同生抽, 淋上蒸好的蛋与鱼。

来个白饭， 跟住就吃得咯~ 好吃！

 鸡肉蒸冬菇，又是简简单单的一餐！

将鸡肉与调味料，蒜蓉,麻油,生抽,浆粉与少许糖，腌好。

再放入洗干净的冬菇。

煲饭，与饭一起蒸。

饭熟，肉熟，开餐咯。

快又简单的一餐。:)

WiP ~

Good place to hang out after a busy working day

for happy hours or a good dinner

Good foods + chilling beer = Relax

Wip is located at the Bangsar Shopping Center

recommended by my boss to us, and this's our company dinner

Bill was settled by company, and it's a pricey bill I guess

Just once in a while, why not?



Hokkaido Cake

Hokkaido cake from Hokkaido Japanese Pastry House, Yummy!

I got it after my facial appointment...

which the pastry house is just opposite the facial saloon, at Kota Damansara

It's selling in a box with 3 pieces of cakes at RM7 plus.

Just another sharing on good food I found~ <3

Everything Happens for a Reason...

I believe everything happens for a reason. It's a cycle of chain reaction. When there's something happened, there's no way of blaming or arguing. But to find way to resolve it and don't repeat the same thing happen again if that something is a wrong thing or a mistake, however if it's the right thing, it should be always repeat in our daily life.

No one is perfect in this world, I am not. Thus I always remind myself to do the right things, tho' I did mistakes too. I keep telling myself, I can't repeat doing the mistake. I took the mistake as lesson I learnt. So happen to my family and friend around me, I advice them the similar. It's hard for us to take it when mistake happened, so do me. Do take time to calm down, re-think, digest and find way to improve. This is the right thing we should do. It's important we always look forward but not backward.

We will grow wiser with what we have experienced everyday in our life. Take the mistake as lesson, take the right one as practice. Everything will turn better then.

Good Foods at Kota Kinabalu

Everywhere we go, we won't stop hunting good foods

Haw Shyang, my friend from Sabah was telling me all kinds of good foods at KK

So we have managed to taste the local good foods there...

Yummy~

The first seafood dinner we have had once we reached KK city

This is the foodcourt with few stalls selling fresh seafood, located opposite Lavender Lodge

We picked one with offering 10% and free fruits platter for us

Dishes ordered weren't too bad

Like the fried rice with crab meat, and fried mee tuaran and Sabah vege

Mantis shrimp were delicious too!

Quite a pricey dinner for us, RM300+

Another recommended by blogger, Bak Kut Teh at Kwong Tung Chai Kopitiam

The Bak Kut Teh stall is opened at 4pm of the day

We were having this after our day out to the Sapi Island
Delicious Bak Kut Teh and Braised Pork Nuckle

Not too pricey, just reasonable as selling in the kopitiam 

This Laksa is one of the must try at KK

It's located behind the Le Meridian Hotel, Seng Heng Kopitiam

It's different from our asam laksa

It's like Sarawak Laksa, laksa soup with santan

serve with shrimp, selling at RM5.50 a bowl

Hawker foods at KK isn't cheap overall...

Yet, this is a bowl of delicious laksa 

Welcome Seafood, here I come again!

A famous seafood restaurant in KK

I patroned to this restaurant 2 yearrs back with my cousins at our last hiking trip

This time we came back this restaurant located at Asia City, near to Marina Court Promenade

Seafoods sold here are fresh, and with reasonable price, slightly cheaper than the one we have had at the food court... RM270+

Haw Shyang told me to try the fried dumpling at Taman Fo San

Somehow, we managed to hired a van to drive us around the city at the last day we at KK

And we found the Taman Fo San, as we were brought by Lai's friend to one of the shop at this taman to buy our dried sea cucumber... and we were glad to know the friendly boss of the shop... he is selling the greatest dried sea cucumber in Malaysia... he claimed that...

Well, come back to makan... since we were in Taman Fo San
So we managed to try the fried dumpling here.. and we discovered another great one...

the fried kuey teow...! It's so delicious! Chinese said it 火候十足

Fried dumpling RM0.70 per-piece while fried kuey teow at RM5.50 per-plate

My second time visited to Kota Kinabalu

It's a beautiful place you must visit... if you like nature...

A close contact with flora and fauna in the forest

Greenie farm with moo moo cow

Welcome to Desa Dairy Farm, Mersilau

I love much, clean beach + blue sky + crystal clear sea...

Sapi Island @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

Awesome sunset viewable from Marina Court Promenade

Personally, I love Kota Kinabalu

A Simple Life

I watched a movie, A Simple Life by HK famous director, Ann Hui. The movie was casted by Dianie Ip and Andy Lau. It's all about an old lady, Hoe Jie's living at her elder age, who was not married and worked as a family servant for the Leong family for 60 years, witnessing the five generations of the family. And the good part is one of the son of the Leong family, Roger has took the responsibility to take care of Hoe Jie at her aging days, support her financially for staying in an old folk home and accompanying her till her last day of her life.

The movie touched my soul. It made me realised the life of the human in the aging days. It's not important that you are married or not, as what I can see. They are elderies with children yet still are being sent in to the old folks home, some are being abandoned by their children, some are of course still staying single. What does important is that someone really care for the one stay in old folks home? I can see from Hoe Jie, on how she was expecting the visits of Roger to her. How happy is her when she knew someone care for her.

The movie made me felt for the living of the aging elderies that I has not came across yet. I have parent, they are getting aging, they might think the same like the elderies in the movie. How they expect us to go home to visit them, how they expect we think of them when we are away out here for earning a living. In fact, I realise we need to be patience with the elderies, spending more times with them if we can and care for them more. I did ask myself, am I doing the right part as I suppose to do as a daughter? I do my right part but I don't think I do enough, I need to do better.

I did think about myself too... what will happen to me when I am aging? I just need cares from my family, I wish not to be a burden to them. I wish I am able to take care of myself at my aging days, and I have good contacts with my family, that my siblings will care for each other at our aging days. That's why I practice healthier lifestyle now, to have a healthy body or at least not too sick with illness at my aging days... A simple life I am seeking for, just like Hoe Jie.
