LA PA, Bangsar

Bangsar is an area full of eateries, restaurants, bars, cafes and even dessert shops...
it's also the favourite area for our 38 Gang gathering as it is in the center of everyone~
3 months back, we celebrated aki's birthday at this newly opened restaurant...
tiny mini burgers
tiny mini burgers anyone?
aki chose to visit this new outlet which appeared a lot in most of the famous food blogs that time...

Twenty One Grams, PJ Newtown

it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon...
woke up early as usual, did some errands and head out for brunch with a bunch of beautiful ladies~
PJ Newtown is never my favourite area ever since they started the changes of road...
mainly became one way and half the time i lost my way...
is either i made the turning too early or missed the junction completely...
well, i was hoping i won't lost my way again this time...
thanks to waze which has been real handy for someone who has no direction sense like me... =D

okay, enough for my grandmother story...
have some churros maybe?
beautiful churros
Twenty One Grams is a neighbourhood cafe...
hidden at the back lane of the shop lots with spacious interior...

Cat In The Box, Empire Damansara, Damansara Perdana

Empire Damansara is such a "hidden" gem in Damansara Perdana...
when i first heard about this place was my friend talking about a cafe there...
my first experience wasn't really good~
i lost my way up from the car park and was really a tough journey...
it's funny though~ i was cursing and swearing that i will never return to this building...
but now, i was kinda addicted to this place... 
why? here comes the story...
it was the last day of March,
a meeting with the young entrepreneur was arranged in a very nice cafe...
and we had our hearty meal for two over there~
hearty meal for two
 looking at the menu, nothing much to choose~
after some discussion, we decided to go safe...
to have the pie recommended by the lady boss and the sandwich...
simply food and beautiful environment at

Jam & Kaya Cafe, PJ Palms Sport Centre

我是个很幸福的孩子...
来自一个小康之家,但父母的爱从未缺席,一家人感情非常好~
所以不管做什么,大家都会以家人为中心,都是想要让彼此过的好!
在通往成功的路上,得到家人的支持是最大的支柱...
也是让自己更奋勇前进的推动力~
谢谢你们,我最爱的家人!
***
早上发生了些事,让我有感而发...
不是什么坏事,只是我自己有着太多的压抑...

不说了!会让人很emo 的东西... 哈!
还记得那是我和银第一次单独约会~ 我们相约一起出来画画!
当然,我并不会画,都是她在教我的...
既然要画画,那就必须要选一家采光很好又舒服的cafe...
银推荐了一家隐藏在水泥森林里的小屋...
一个卖着人情味、好咖啡及好食物的好地方...
早午餐 · 二人份
好咖啡、好食物不就是如此吗?
二人份早午餐~ 看着就觉得好幸福...
多希望可以每天都吃...
外观
看吧!这就是那隐藏在水泥森林里的小屋了...
万万也没想到在PJ 的sport centre 还会有一家这么好看的cafe...
好喜欢这背着蓝天绿地的画面~ 美呆了!

BEAM, Sri Damansara

朋友都羡慕我不用上班,但其实我只不过是不必替别人打工,不是不工作...
不工作就会有收入?那未免太痴心妄想了啦...
这世上从来就没有白吃的午餐啊!
想要成功却不愿意付出努力,难道成功会自动找上门吗?
呵呵... 不说那些有的没的了~
翻着照片,看到那天与闺密两个人的午餐...
不禁让我回味无穷~
两人的午餐
简单又健康的午餐...
香浓的咖啡,丰富的三明治,还有阵阵咖啡香~
享受,不正是如此吗? =)
***
那天送闺密回家,想说就到她家附近用餐好了...
她就把我带到这家隐藏在无数工厂间的cafe~

是时候享受生活 -- Blog Your Way 2 Taiwan

台湾啊~ 台湾...
相信大家对这座宝岛一点也不陌生吧!
我虽然没有去过台湾,但我对于这座有着丰富民族色彩、道地美食小吃及购物天堂美誉的宝岛一点也不陌生...
除了流行于新马港台大陆的偶像剧,还有各个美食节目,都让我对台湾留下深刻印象!
每每都让我在心里大喊:
我要去台湾!!!

优美的周遭环境,阳明山看海芋、淡水骑单车、台北市看101大楼、九份十份放天灯... 太多太多~
而其实,最最吸引我的莫过于种类繁多的道地美食小吃!
对!对于一个吃货来说,,比一切都来得重要!

台湾的美食节目总是让我看得垂涎三尺...
什么蚵仔面线、盐酥鸡、滷肉饭、肉圆、水煎包、葱油饼等等,都让我魂牵梦萦啊~
来看看这些美食为何让我念念不忘...
蚵仔面线
面线经高汤煮后勾芡,然后放入烫过的新鲜蚵仔和滷过的大肠,搭配特调酱料和香菜...
光是看主持人吃就已经口水流满地了!
在吉隆坡要找到蚵仔面线其实不难,我也常吃...
只是朋友都说味道和台湾的完全没得比~
想想也对!这里的蚵仔面线没有滷大肠,换成了鸡肉丝... 味道又怎么可能一样呢?
所以,我想自己亲自到台湾去尝一尝那正宗的味道!
盐酥鸡
再来便是盐酥鸡 -- 台湾最常见的小吃之一...
“咸咸的,外皮酥脆,鸡肉鲜嫩多汁...”,这是最常美食节目主持人最常说的!
就像蚵仔面线一样,盐酥鸡在吉隆坡的夜市也是常客...
不过吃起来就没有主持人说的那般好吃~
而且去过台湾的朋友们都异口同声地说“还是台湾夜市里的比较好吃!”
天啊!能不能就让我时空转移到台湾去?!
滷肉饭
这个不必任何人说我都知道这里吃到的肯定不如台湾的!
他们的独家秘方不说,光是鸡肉和猪肉就够不一样了...
因为马来西亚是个多元种族的国家,为了配合大众,许多餐厅都不会选用猪肉...
所以还是那句,“我要去台湾!
肉圆
会知道肉圆其实是因为一部电影... 电影里面男主角和朋友们生长于彰化,就看他们差不多每一天都会去吃肉圆...
然后通过美食节目(对,我都只有看的份!飙泪...)了解更多...
由米糊做成的外皮,包着猪肉、香菇等食材为馅,可以是油炸的,也可以是蒸的...
口感各有特色,但吃起来都是外皮QQ的,内馅香浓~
好想可以亲自咬一口,体会一下那口感和味道啊!!!
葱油饼
 葱油饼据说是早期农民们最爱的点心...
因为葱是农田里最常见的农作物,所以妇女们会把葱切粒,混合面粉把它煎至香脆,让她们那辛勤在农田里工作的丈夫当点心~
好美、好有爱的故事啊!=)
我是个从小就不吃葱的坏小孩... 因为总觉得它的味道呛呛的...
但是对于台湾的葱油饼,我却跃跃欲试...
都是因为美食节目里,主持人常说的“很香脆,葱和面粉混合的非常刚好,都把葱的呛给中和了...”,深深地吸引着我!
当然我也想试试看能不能吃到那幸福的味道,体验一下早期农民的幸福嘛~ 嘻嘻...
水煎包
 还有,还有水煎包!那皮薄馅料多的包子...
记得美食节目里的阿姨是把薄薄的包子皮包入由猪肉、香菇、高丽菜等做成的馅料,先放进一锅滚开的热水煮一煮,再把包子捞起来,放在锅里慢火煎一下...
就形成了脆脆、嫩嫩、香香的水煎包了~
之前上网搜了一下相关资料,还说水煎包是在二次世界大战时被带入台湾,然后被发扬并演变成台湾独特的口味小吃!
 我好想好想吃啊!!

当然还有许多数之不尽的美食小吃,像是棺材板、割包、担仔面、臭豆腐等等~
更少不了闻名全世界的珍珠奶茶和剉冰!!
都是可以让我们在台湾大快朵颐的美食啊~
除此之外,台湾还是个聚集格式美食的美食天堂...
中华料理多不胜数,台湾菜、广东料理、客家菜、四川料理、福建菜、北京料理等等...
让你在一个宝岛就能尝透透、吃饱饱,享受味蕾的环游世界~
你说,这么一个美食天堂,怎么不叫我为之疯狂?!
配合大马台湾观光局 (Taiwan Tourism Bureau Kuala Lumpur) 在KL推广台湾旅游业,The Butterfly Project 推出了Blog Your Way 2 Taiwan 活动...
写下为什么想到台湾,赢取总值RM8,000的五天四夜台湾之旅,机票、住宿和配套全包!
这实在是太让人兴奋了!

我想去台湾!因为...
  • 台湾是个美食天堂,而我是个不择不扣的大吃货!
  • 除了吃,我还想要一睹风采非凡的宝岛的庐山真面目... 看旅游节目太表面!亲身体验才精彩深刻~
  • 台湾有着许多小民族,各有特色及不一样的文化,我想要了解多一点,看看不一样的世界~
我真心的希望我可以赢得这千载难逢的好机会~ (请选我吧!)
虽然我非常希望可以赢得此机会,但分享会让人快乐!所以...
如果你和我一样还未一睹宝岛的风采,这可是不容错过的良机啊!
即便你应经到过台湾无数次,通过分享经验而赢得再次踏足宝岛的机会不也是很棒吗?
心动不如行动!想要参加朋友可以浏览以下网址:

EAT SHOP GO ON 2 WHEELS IN TAIWAN


Eat, shop & go on two wheels in Taiwan!
Before that grab the best travel deals at Taiwan Travel Fair

Whether you are considering a first or subsequent visits to Taiwan, there’s never a better time to tour the island than in 2015! Taiwan Tourism Bureau Kuala Lumpur (TTBKL) is organising its first-ever Taiwan Travel Fair in Malaysia. With the theme of “Time to Enjoy Life”, it will be held at 1 Utama Shopping Centre, where the public can get the best deals for Taiwan travel at this one-stop event from 25 to 29 March 2015.

With the first Taiwan Travel Fair, TTBKL hopes to present great value travel deals to Malaysian families. They have tied up with top Taiwanese and Malaysian travel agencies to offer a variety of exciting packages and the most attractive travel deals for all destinations in Taiwan. This also includes customised packages or tours specially-catered for Muslim visitors. 

For visitors of the fair who purchase any tour package from participating agents, they stand a chance to participate in a lucky draw for every RM500 spent. Prizes include Taipei return flight tickets sponsored by China Airlines and Eva Airways; and East Asia cruise on Star Aquarius, Star Virgo and Aquarius liners sponsored by Star Cruises.

The Taiwan Travel Fair will be held at the Oval concourse in 1 Utama Shopping Centre from 25 to 29 March 2015. Opens 10 am daily. For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/tbrockl !

Based on a survey conducted by Taiwan Tourism in 2012, the top attractions for inbound tourists are sights and sceneries, food and shopping. As such, the Taiwan Travel Fair will also highlight three major experiences under the theme of “Time to Enjoy Life”:

Time to Eat


When it comes to food, Taiwan has it all. Dine like royalty without paying a king’s ransom for it. From juicy seasonal fruits, sumptuous traditional Chinese dishes, healthy vegetarian dishes, icy desserts to creative tea drinks, Taiwanese cuisine makes full use of local ingredients and age-old techniques to surprise and satisfy your palate. Don’t forget the world-famous night markets, filled with the enticing aromas of delicious street food and snacks!


Time to Shop


Taiwan is a shopaholic’s dream come true, with many large shopping centres and chain department stores in all four corners of the island. Shop for anything you want, from high-quality made-in-Taiwan 3C products, to famous highland tea and handmade weavings. For the fashion lover, all kinds of affordable clothing, leather goods and branded products are at your fingertips. In Taiwan, you are sure to find just about everything you want.


Time to go on Two Wheels


These days, the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) trend is gaining popularity as people begin to be more health and eco-conscious. Taiwan is well-known for its LOHAS practices, and there is no better way to experience it than to travel along the breath-taking coastal highways by bicycle! Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and appreciate the simple yet wonderful things in life with your loved ones.

Dutch Lady Farmland @ 1 Utama

hola! =)
ever since i got married, people around me been asking, how's married life? seriously, not much difference though... we've been together for 8 years, staying under the same roof for 6 years, what would be different? we don't even change the way we call each other... if really i have to look for a difference, i would say is more on myself... my attention, what i would do when i have time, many more~
how to say? simple... like i would thought of cooking whenever i have time... something that i really wouldn't do before married~ i would look at events for family, news and articles about kids...
perhaps i'm getting myself ready for a little one... ^^

well, back to the topic...
went to 1U for an appointment yesterday... coincidentally, Peg and Jace were handling an event there... went to visit them and also to support... after the tour given, i simply find it could be a nice bonding activity for parents and kids over the weekend... definitely much better than just spending time, doing window shopping in the mall... 

what is it all about? let's have a look... 
Dutch Lady Farmland
oh yes! it's Dutch Lady Farmland! they just did their media launch yesterday, opened for public to visit after 1pm yesterday. while i was chatting with both Peg and Jace, i saw many parents trying to walk into the event area... but of course they were stopped by the staff as it was closed for the media launch. it actually showed how much they can't wait to experience the activities provided... =D

悠闲下午茶 @ Pulp, Jalan Riong, Bangsar

回来了... 好像隔了好久好久~
是累吗?还是懒?又或是烦?
凡人,烦人... 有烦恼才证明我们真实的活着吧!
为了生活,就拼了吧!
***
话说回来~ 那个美好的悠闲午后...
在结束我们的购物之旅前,惯例的带着妈妈姐姐寻找新咖啡馆去~
咖啡、蛋糕... 尽是美好!
悠闲下午茶
 常常看到朋友们在面子书上,Instagram里都会po这家咖啡馆的图...
终于在这天,我们一行人,浩浩荡荡的来到这里...
PULP
 Pulp乍看之下还真的以为是灯泡...
当然不是了!是开在工厂区的咖啡馆...

Caffeinated Cabin, Jalan Gasing

祝大家:立春快乐!
新的一年即将来临(其实阳历都已经过了一个月)...
时间,依然不等人啊~
好久没有那么悠闲了... 喝喝咖啡,写写字...
这都是我一直向往的生活啊~
要不是当初在机会出现的时候,及时抓了一把,
我想我现在依然是个怨天尤人的打工族吧!真是感恩!感恩! =)
城中的咖啡馆们,你们就等着被我一一征服吧!
话说那天,车子必须送去service...
结果一等就是几个小时!
幸好有个好人,愿意大老远的从Shah Alam 来到 Jalan 222 打救我...
不但把我从漫长等待救出,还带我到一直想去的 cafe 喝咖啡~
coffee for two please~
 这里的环境真的是太好了!
在那个宁静的星期四中午,我爱上了那个地方!
哪里?答案马上揭晓... =D
Caffeinated Cabin
 推开门,就看到美美的黑板粉笔招牌...
我想应该是还早吧!所以coffee set 都还没出炉... =P
Caffeinated Cabin 坐落于Jalan Gasing 路边...

Goodday Coffee 好日咖啡, Mentakab

久违了,我胡说八道的地方...
阔别许久,我都快不知道该怎么开始了~
刚完成终身大事的我,过着开心的新生活...
认识我的人都应该知道,所谓的“新生活”并非人妻生活... 哈哈!
趁着结婚,悄悄地休了两个星期长假...
回到妈妈怀里,尽情地当个爱撒娇的孩子~
较早前就知道家乡飘着咖啡香,无奈总是来去匆匆,都没有踏足任何崛起的咖啡馆...
(不开还好,一开就有三四家...)
在家乡开咖啡馆是我的梦想...
悠哉的过着与咖啡香为伍的日子,多么美好!
但随着打工的日子久了,梦想也远了,甚至刻意把它给忘了!
还真要套老人家常说的那句话:“工字没出头”...
哈哈!好像离题太远了...
回到好日咖啡...
好日早午餐
那天,妈咪特意请假就为了帮我准备婚礼的事情...
然后,我们就去了一趟好日咖啡~
悠哉的早午餐,和妈咪二人的时光... =)
