Food Food Food!

I am finally getting over the tough life filled with exams, notes & formulas. And now, I'm home for the holiday and feel free to relax! I love the feeling that I can do anything I like, such as wake up from enough sleep everyday, accompany my Mum to the grocery store and watch my favorite movies and drama series. I suppose if everything can be less complicated, then life can be so wonderful.



Last Sunday, my B decided to bring me on a shopping hunt for my birthday present. I am a happy girl because pocket money is given from B to me for the shopping! At the same time, we also spent our time with B's buddy Sylvester Boo for the past few days. I bet he was fatigued after the "Sunway Pyramid - SS15 - Times Square - Subang Parade - Taylor's - SS15" night. Thanks Ah Boo for driving us around and accompanying us to go so many places after his class. Next time we must go for T.G.I Friday's again and make it success to dine there okay? XD

It's more precisely to be said as a food hunt trip than a shopping trip for me because I didn't really buy much things but we ate so much! So, the rest of this post will be flooded with mouth-watering food photos :D

1. First dinner @Fish & Co, 1 Utama Shopping Centre.

It says: One bite & you're hooked!

My says: I think Fish & Co. is less pricey if compared with Manhattan Fish Market. The price range was around RM12.90 - RM2X for the grilled seasonal / salmon fish set comes with two side dishes out of three choices (coleslaw, rice or fries).

Thumbs up for the grilled seasonal fish with peri-peri sauce! Not a really spicy dish tho.

Boys can be so narcissistic sometimes. He was forcing me to take his picture with the food.

B with Ah Boo.

I forgot its name but Ah Boo said the greenish veggies on the grilled fish is a turn-off for the dish.


2. Sakae Sushi @Subang Parade

It says: We serve only what we eat.

My says: Previously, I have seen people talking about this Japanese restaurant's cockroach sushi incident in Facebook. Thus when I know the restaurant tagline, the first thing that came across my mind was: So Sakae Sushi eats its own cockroach sushi too? LOL. Luckily I see cockroach neither in the food served nor in the restaurant this time. If it wasn't because we had missed T.G.I Friday's promotion, we wouldn't go to Sakae Sushi also.


I always complain about the boyf 's photography skill because he always take ugly / not-ready-to-shoot photos of mine.

Together. Three of us :)

I ordered teriyaki chicken ramen but it's not satisfying at all. The chicken was not fresh and taste unpleasantly 'chickeny'. I don't know how to describe the real taste, but it just taste like it's frozen for a very long time already.

Teriyaki chicken don for B. Taste much more better than mine when the chicken was broiled with the teriyaki marinade.

Ah Boo's Unagi Don. Tempting!

3. Ko Hyang Korean Country Delights @Sunway Pyramid




I have mentioned several times that I'm a big fans of Korean food in my blog. When I noticed this Korean food outlet, I immediately told B that I must have my lunch there before leaving KL. After the meal at Ko Hyang, I would say it's strongly recommended to every Korean food fans out there! The price was considered the most reasonable and affordable among other Korean food restaurants that I have visited in Melaka & JB. And the most importantly, their dishes were not inferior in any way to the other expensive Korean restaurant.

Free side dishes. I miss their kim chi!

Kim Chi Ji Gae with mixed grain rice (RM15.90)
I love Korean style rice because its texture is more sticky and chewy.


Closer look to the sizzling kimchi stew. Hot, spicy and a bit kimchish at the same time. Love it to the max!

Kim Chi Jeon (RM11.50)
Tasted extraordinary good with a dip of the sauce. Even the boyf likes it!

I really would like to try the Doppoki but someone insisted to have his Chinese style breakfast - soy bean milk and you tiao from I-love-yoo! Korean food is always not to my boyfriend's liking because he thinks that K-food is always pricey. The scrumptious korean food is always tasted 'weird' and too spicy for him.

4. My Honeymoon Dessert @Sunway Pyramid

I visited twice to My Honeymoon and I think their signature durian pancake was the only dessert which worth a try. Well, perhaps what we had ordered were not really their signature dessert. Other than durian pancake, the rest of the desserts that we had tried didn't really suit our taste.

Taro ball with purple rice soup (RM6)
Personally I think the sweet soup should taste creamy and sweet. However the 紫米露 was a bit dilute and not sweet enough for me.

Sesame cream with soy bean curd (RM6)
The 芝麻糊 was slightly bitter and it was not rich in texture at all. When it mixed with the bean curd, it tasted totally weird :(

Signature Durian pancake (RM9)
Just look at the thick layer of cream and durian filling. Need I say more?
You will definitely indulge yourself with it if you're a durian lover.

Hungry now? ;)

Signing off with groaning tummy. Buh-bye!

His Birthday ♥

This is the post dedicated to my boy whose birthday fell on few days ago, that was 10th March.
I am not a really considerate lover like him, who had done so much for my 19th birthday.
What I had done for his birthday was tryin' to prepare his favourite birthday gift & best birthday cake for him.
The former mission was a success. I knew it at the moment he received his birthday gift.
He was really surprised as it totally looked similar to the one he had eyed @Al-Ikhsan, Jusco Tebrau.
He was jumping for joy and couldn't wait to try it in front of the mirror!

There it is! He loves leisure shoes with simple design and plain colour combination.

As usual, we had birthday celebration dinner together with the besties. And this time, we headed out for dinner @The Big Mouth Cafe.

Dressed up as if like it was my birthday! :P
If you think my photos are disgustingly fake, that’s because you can’t admit to yourself that I’m disgustingly photogenic to look better than you.

This was the second time visit for most of us. For the first time visit, I had barely seen any customers there though that was dinner time. However, more customers were dining there that night. Perhaps it explained for the smaller portion of food served? :P

Cheesy wedges. Look at the cheesy flood! Yum!

Kinda disappointed with this dish because the portion was smaller than it was served at the first time visit.
The fish slices were slightly off too.

I forgot what it called but a thumb up from boyfriend to this side dish.

A thumb down from YingYing to the dessert.


We played a prank on him. I hinted the waitress to serve the chocolate tart and we started singing the birthday song. And we told him to hold the glass a.k.a the candle to take a pic! LOL


This time, the cupcakes were what we had for the birthday boy. Specially ordered for the basketball fanatic like the boyfriend! It's actually basketball & jersey design but the baker failed to make the design I wanted on the cuppies :(




Don't need to pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, you could really use a wish right now. (Airplanes - B.o.b hits the playlist now :P)


Wish you to be cheerful as always, my happy-go-lucky boy!


*Group pic*

Lastly, a little cheesy moment for us.
Thanks for your existence to brighten up my life.
There'll always be fun, joy and laughter whenever you're around.
With you, who still need Kinder Joy? HAHAHAHAHA ignore my lame joke, Happy 20th Birthday my boy!

Tips For Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day Dress Code ♥

Red: In love
Blue: I'm free
Green: I'm waiting
Orange: Going to propose
Grey: Not interested
Yellow: Just broke up

White: Already booked. Guess that I followed the correct dress code :)

Black: Anti-valentine. But hunny boy got wrong :(

Valentine's Day Do's and Dont's ♥

1. Do buy a gift

No. Not a cologne. But something that tells your sweetheart, you know him/her. Think of his/her passions (other than you), hidden interests, secret desires... and gift something that will be close to your partner's heart, forever.

I got the perfect valentine gift - DKNY Be Delicious Eau De Parfum Spray! I've been wanting this for quite a long time! Thanks hunny boy ♥ I gave you a big hint that I want this tho :P

However, the gift I bought for him is still in the delivery process from oversea :( I bought it more than one month ago and it's a pre-order. The seller promised to deliver within 2 to 3 weeks, yet eventually the delivery delays, so NEVER TRUST PRE-ORDER! I am so guilty that I can't make his first valetine day a perfect one :"(


2. Do the unusual

Movies... pubs... candle light dinners... You may have done them all. So, this time date somewhere you haven't been before. Or do something you haven't done before. But just make sure you have the space and ambiance to make the experience romantic.

Since it's the final exam week for both of us and we can't really find new spots at Melaka anymore, we have a simple dinner instead of anything unusual. We didn't have a plan at first and we just drove to the town and randomly picked this restaurant.

Beautiful sights, checked. Hearts and ballons, the aura of romance was all around.

Soft and classical music, checked.

Flavors and aromas, checked. It's Simply Fish @Taman Melaka Raya, Melaka.

Salmon Temptation. It came in a large portion and the tomato gravy was very appetizing.

Fish & Chips. Fresh & Crunchy.

3. Say I love you


Never mind if you have told it umpteen times. Say it on Valentine's day. Wait for that right moment... may be, after your gift is unwrapped or when it's time for farewell, and say 'I love you'. After all, it's a Valentine's day, isn't it?


4. Don't do the same.

Chioness!

Resist the temptation to do the same thing you did last year (or even with your ex!), particularly, if it had worked very well.

5. Don't use your gadgets.


Cell phones... ipods... laptops... turn them off. Don't let your personal digital assitants ruin your day. This simple act of switching them off would tell your love how much you value his / her relationship. So, possible, do it ostentatiously.

6. Don't be particular about the date.

If, for reasons, you couldn't celebrate Valentine's day, on February 14th, then make the weekend or any other day as a Valentine's day. Remember: In love, every day is a Valentine's day!

ILY boy >3

Happy Valentine Day!
