Tong Sui



This is one of my favorite tong sui since young.
I love the taste of white fungus as well as the red date :) Been having this all the while but I just realised that it's served as a birdnest to those poor family :)

Sounds great, right?

There are too much benefits that it can bring especially to ladies. Having called the birdnest to the poor means that it's a great substitute to birdnest. It's certainly cost saving and good choice for maintaining internal + external beauty and nutrition level.

A Refreshing ME

Finally, the rain stop and it's time for me to enjoy my long waited sunny day.



After shopped for the groceries, I start my makan trip. On my way to Balik Pulau, I stopped by a pisang goreng stall in Relau as usual. The pisang & chempedak goreng are too crispy and irresistable. Then, i continue my journey to have my favorite 'lemak + sour' laksa in Balik Pulau. Not to miss is of course my favorite white nutmeg juice... excellent taste to have it with the laksa :D

this is the 'mixed' laksa

mouthwatering while uploading this photo to my post

in order not to accumulate too much fat in my body... i went for hiking at BJ Hill. This seems to put away my guiltiness of over eating.

This time i really get it done successfully by stepping to the top of the hill. I keep practicing the yoga breathing concept on my way to reach the top. panting & panting & panting all the way. TQ dearest LKC for watch out those dangerous steps for me. I don't think I can make it without being told by LKC that :" it's nearer to the top now, just a few more steps".

I see determination in this short hiking journey. Stand firm once you have the goal set, be confident and go for IT!

p/s: I should have bring up my camera as the scenery from the top is nice... and the important thing is......i shouldn't miss this capturing as the next date for hiking is 'unknown' :l

new discovery

haha... another late sharing from me...

been to this place a few weeks ago under the recommendation of ah bee. Impressed by the scenery around although it is built on a dump side.
Take a look on it...




It's a good place for relaxing your mind and soul. There are benches for you to rest on or you can just sat under the tree to avoid from hot sun in the afternoon.

Another amazing thing is~~~


Can you see Penang Bridge from this photo? Wow... let me tell you, the view is marvelous!
I been there during afternoon... augh... hate the hot sun. I should have went there again in the evening or at night as i believe the view will be greater. So, if you think of relaxation, away from busy city life, take a deep breath of salty seawind... then... come & visit to this little Gurney>>>this is what I called it. Need to do it fast before it get polluted by those illegal hawkers!!!
The location: behind the Spring condo, on the left of Jelutong Expressway if you are coming from Georgetown.

disappointed experience in Shang



This is a back dated story. Been quite tied up by all the last minutes task and have no extra time to put this up.

The dinner buffet that I went for in 10 Jun is not too satisfying.... totally under my expectation. Food insufficient, slow supply of empty plate, slow service at the food counters etc. It's definitely not a very enjoyable moment to had my dinner under such poor condition... I don't even have chance to try the chocolate fountain as told by the crew that there is no replenish for it... OMG... what a disappointing answer!!!

I had shared my experience with some of my colleagues. Yen suggest me to put up a written complaint to the management as what her friend did before. Maybe I was too 'angry' with the service provided and thus I search for the contact and sent in my complaint accordingly.

The reply was received upon my return from Bangkok and Phitsanulok. What a standard answer I got on their quality assurance and all sorts of promises.I will call it a polite email and the manager even invited me to revisit the restaurant again. I don't think I can do so at least for now...it's time consuming in recover from the bad experience.

PS: Yen, no voucher ler.... hehehe =P

Full anticipation for the buffet celebration

Get so excited when Lilian decided to have the surprise celebration in Shangri-la.
Can't wait to pamper my taste bud ad~~

All these while i prefer to have buffet as I can always choose my favorite food to take. On top of that, there are variety of dessert to try out... cakes, pudding, jelly, ice-cream etc... wow... definitely mouth-watering...

Konnyaku Jelly





This is my favorite jelly.... the QQ texture is the best among all!!!
You can add whichever fruit according to your own preference, add or reduce the sugar as you like, perhaps to add some acid citric or lemon to enrich its taste.
For me, mango and kiwi is a must... perhaps strawberry as well if I can get from the hypermarket.
Superb!!!

My Baking Enjoyments N_N








Been addicted to this new hobby recently~~ it's enjoyable though sometimes it can be tiring as well.

A few desserts were done during these 2 weeks time =D
It's good to have the dessert ever ready in the fridge and i can always share my 'successful products' with friends around me.... although sometimes i might not be too sure whether it's a success or failure...... ^^ i seldom try it before sharing ---> ostrich behaviour?!! wait for comment rather than face it first...

I enjoy the process a lot~~ especially when it's almost done and it's my turn to make a guess on the success rate *:*
sometimes it can be nervous *_^'''
occasionally it can be disappointing_when mission fail =(
BUT>>> there is unmeasurable excitement when i can get it done successfully!!!

Below is the list of my 'creations':
1. Dark Choc Brownie (i luv dark choc~~ yum yum!)
2. Mango Pudding (1st trial)
3. Konnyaku Jelly (my evergreen favorite)
4. Blueberry Cheesecake (for dear dear ah mei b'day)
5. Traditional Kiam Pia Cake (triggering by yen lol---> been commented as dessert for old people)
p/s: haha~~ paying too much concentration in baking until i forgot to take a good snap on them... all the above are captured using my mobile phone

After getting all these done, I felt like I have actually one step closer to my dream ad~~ become the real owner of a cake house.... no longer sit in the office and facing my pc most of the time. I believe it will be tough to run & manage the entire cake house~~ But~~ i do also believe that happiness & satisfaction will come along since i'm doing something that i luv to <':'>

It might not be a high class job after all, but~~~ who care as long as i'm happy with it.
