Home Cooked Meal for Friends

This would be the 2nd time in a week that I've cooked for friends...
I did it on Monday, and it went well...
Was pretty happy that nothing left, not even the soup...
It's nice to see that the meal that I cooked sincerely being well appreciated.

Since that Monday, 2 friends couldn't make it...
So I cooked again on Wednesday...
This time, much more interesting, there's a vegetarian around.

How do I want to cook a meal without using garlic, onion and oyster sauce?
I did really cracked my head to wonder, what dish should I cook then?
The day before the dinner, I've cut and prepare most of the ingredients so that I can start to cook immediately after work...
At the same time, I pre-cooked the Soup of That Night, ABC soup and also cabbage soup (ala-abc soup style)
Then the next day, I still need to grab some green vegetables to add in the menu!

So total of the dishes 9 with 2 soups....
For 6 people...
Well, since I don't really know how to cook "vegetarian" meals, glad that it's being appreciated as well.

Little Taiwan, 1Utama New Wing

Another new outlet opened in 1Utama...
One of my colleagues was wondering this "Little Taiwan" is it HALAL?
At first I told that, should be non-halal with the concept and all....
So eventually we decided to have something else till we saw the HALAL logo at the entrance of this restaurant...
We head in to give it a try.

Basically was bit pack as it was lunch time...
I even got to get the menu myself at the side counter...
Took us sometime to decide what we wanted to order though.

Honestly, I can't remember much of the name of the items we ordered and I don't really enjoy the food there at all, so as my colleagues.

The food was fast to serve, however my colleague ordered the Beef Noodle Steamboat, came without the BEEF MEAT! Just the noodle and 2 meatballs...
And the taste of the soup, tasted of chili powder to the max!

I had the chicken chop noodle or something, the noodle eventually got the smell (not sure how to call that... the yellow noodle taste even though the noodle being served is ramen!)

Another colleague of mine ordered something like beef noodle, the only thing that which they both like, will be the beef meat as it was tender.

Drinks wise, I had lemon tea, one had black tea ice (I guess) and the halal gal had passion fruit juice (I guess again) and it's so sweet! However, it's not too bad though.

We shared a plate of salted chicken (which was not crispy at all and the chili sauce that given, tasted like strawberry with chili mixed) and also a plate of toast.

Passion Fruit


Hot Lemon Tea



Iced Black Tea


Beef Noodle


Chicken Chop Ramen


Toast Bread


Not really will go there again...
The service not really up to par and quite a dissapointment.

I do wonder, is this how Taiwanese food taste like?

Coffee Ritual, Seksyen 14, PJ

Market Research!
Heard of the place Coffee Ritual from my colleague not long ago...
So,I went google on their website and check out what's the specialty...
Of course COFFEE.

The food pricing also not that expensive...
So we decided to give it a try.

Drove all the way from BU to Seksyen 14 to hunt the cafe...
We've been greeted by the owner, Ee Min...
Eventually only her and her partner as the "server" for that night...
We browsed thru the menu and it's kind a hard to choose as there's lot of choices from breakfast till desserts!

Ee Min introduced us their promotion sets, which was a good deal, but I got lost as it's too much to input...
So I settled down with lamb, my colleagues, a lamb n a chicken...
The set, 1 main course + drink, add on some $ for starter + a dessert!

We started off with our chosen starter...
Mushroom soup...
It's superb and delicious!
Served with hot roll with melted butter...
Mmmmmm!
Splendid!

Then came the chicken wings as side order...
Crunchy... and I thought was those we can find in supermarket...
I was wrong, they done their own marinating...
Yummy too~

The arrival of our main courses...
Eventually...
Was not really that good...
However, with the price we paying, can't demand much right?
Well, don't really want to comment much on this, just don't order whatever we did...
Actually, we are looking foward to try something else from the menu next time though~

Dessert dessert!!!
Ice cream...
It's nice and not too sweet...
However, I forgot, what's the brand of it...
Especially it's vanilla flavour...
I luv it!

I forced one of my colleague to order their coffee to taste...
I want to see how they brew the coffee...
As my another colleague and me don't take coffee...
So end up she did.

It's so fun to see the brewing...
Took about 1 minute and 30 seconds to serve...
The aroma it's great and the taste it's mild and yet there's the umph~

For our whole experience...
It's great....
Will go back there when we can!

Luv the place...
If there's couch, it will be even better!

Total bill spent RM98.00 for 3 pax!

Our HONEYMOON Dessert

For lunch today...
I got to "tap toi" with Aunty M and her friends as I don't like to eat alone...
So since she's in 1Utama so I just join her and her friends for a bite at Charms.

Charms having a good deal at lunch...
Basically is like Buy one free One...
4 persons just about RM 37, not too bad!

I wanted to have some dessert then Aunty M suggested to go over to Honeymoon which located at New Wing Lower Ground Floor...

We took a while to browsed through the menu...
I eventually just pick back the one that I like...
Sweet Potato and Ginger Soup!
Aunty Lyn said that, I CAN COOK THAT AT HOME..
So I went and pick again...
I choose back the same thing though!

Then...
There's another friend of them dropped by same goes with my colleague...
Chat around move around, snapped around...
They were wondering, why the mascot look like... this and that... *imagine imagine*

Why is the interior is Library?
We understand the walls frame deco which are countries "attractions".. but library?

Then, the side sofa bench that we sat on, it was quite high, so it's not really convenient for short people though....

Averagely, not too bad....
Price not that expensive... I guess?
