Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

Girls are very unique creatures. They might appear soft and gentle but deep inside, they have hearts of diamond. Nothing can melt their heart unless they open up for you.

You can try with 100 different languages to tell them how much she meant to you or a simple “I love you”, the girl will probably respond. Ohh ok and that’s it. Using romance language such as Italian language might put you slightly on the upper hand.

What if you know nothing about 100 languages or any romance language? Er..maybe you can start goggling available monastery just incase you need it.

Nah.. I am just kidding.. hehe.. Alternatively, read TikkoSS’s blog and you will know what to do. You can bring your crush to this Italian restaurant, Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie. This place is stunningly decorated. Not sure if it considers as romantic place but girls just love it.

Be slightly sensitive. Some girls are on diet so salad is the best starter. Don’t forget to include a chocolate drink too. That will make them happy and it works most of the time.

Buy yourself some bread and tell them this “I wanted to ask you out for a nice meal together and I have been eating bread since two weeks ago. Just to save up a little so that we can enjoy together.”

Fooyoh.. she will surely melt a little :P

Sometime you deal with big eater and bigger size. Love is so called “blind” and I will not go in details on that part. Don’t fret, this restaurant do serves nice Italian spaghetti too. Order 3 straight away and she will like you more!

Many girls are looking forward men that are capable enough to feed them. I bet this will be the best example to show that you are indeed the right one :P

Beside salad, bread, spaghetti and pasta, you can get delicious Italian chocolate. Not only that, you can get Macaroon here too. It only cost about RM 3.60 per piece. Yea yea yea, the macaroon a bit expensive but it compensated with yummie food. Try and you know what I meant!

Jin Xuan Hong Kong Dim Sum

How many of you still remember what happen on 1 July 1997? Don’t tell me young people like you forget this auspicious day? This date marks the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from UK to China.

Mass migration or better known as migration tide happened even before 1989 as many were pessimistic towards Hong Kong future. That is the time when receiving countries enjoy the exchange of cultures, expertise and FOOD.

Now, you don’t have to travel all the way to Hong Kong but to SS22/19 instead to eat Hong Kong dim sum. Many of you might know this place, Restoran Jin Xuan Hong Kong Dim Sum.

If you go during breakfast, lunch or dinner time, this place is so congested that you might need to queue up. Quite a long queue tho. Normally in any restaurant, the queue is proportionate to the quality of food. The longer it is the better it is.

STOP Drooling! Well, I am not sure about you but my saliva nearly drool out when I look at varieties of pre-made dim sums that are available. Maybe I am too hungry.. hehe.. Since I am so hungry, I have to remind myself not to overly ordered :P

Only fried food? Nah.. these are just few of the many other choices. I spotted on many that I am craving for even before looking into the menu.

If you know me in person, you know that I am bad with names. I cannot even remember pretty girls’ names sometime. Sad isn’t it? So, please don’t expect me to name what I ate that day. I guess I am good at one thing, FEEDING my FAT!

If you are custard bun lover, please don’t hesitate but order this straight away. As much as I like custard bun in Dragon-i @ Pavillion, KL, I think this is also another example of deliciously yummie custard bun.

Another dim sum that I like most is the bacon meat rolls. I love this straight away as what TikkoSS’s said “Love at first bite!”.

There are few other dim sums that I ordered and I can tell you the dim sums here really have a good standard. I cannot recall how much I spent that day but I managed to capture few of the dim sums price as below:

Century Egg Congee RM3.50

Deep Fried Prawn Roll RM3.50

Cabbage Roll RM 3.50

Deep Fried Radish Cake RM3.50

Char Siu Pastry RM3.50

Chee Cheong Fun RM4.80

Scallop and Prawn Dumpling RM4.00

Marmite Pork Rib RM10.00

I think it is quite reasonable considering the dim sums range from RM 3.50 to RM 10. You don’t have to stuff yourself with quantity but I prefer quality food. I share so that you can try it too!

Food Tasting @ Cheng Ho Court

Many many many years ago, human kill for a simple reason, FOOD. Many many years later, human can do a lot of things for food too! Of course, not to the killing extend laa. I am one of them. I blog for FOOD. Eh.. more like I blog because of food. FREE food sometimes.

This time I get free invite for food tasting at Cheng Ho Court Chinese Restaurant. Yea, I have been here before and that is why I made myself available this time because I really really miss the food here.

It might look red from the outside but it is definitely not because of Chinese New Year. The mandarins and angpows and pamelo are just for decorations. More like to rejuvenate the CNY ambience.

I was served with 10 course meals. There is only 9 photos below because the other one it already ended up in my stomach! I am not going to tell you what it is and let you keep guessing.

First dish: Deluxe Hot and Cold Combination

This dish takes slightly longer to prepare. There are varieties of ingredients which include seafood, fish balls, mushrooms, eggs and vegetables and many more. If you never been to ala Chinese style restaurant, you have to control yourself not too eat so much at the beginning of the dinner. That is because the best is yet to come :P

Second dish: Braised Shark Fin Soup with Dried Scallop and Crab Meat

Shark lover? Too bad! Shark Fin is my all time favorite. How can I miss this when there are scallops and crabmeat involves. Just added a little black vinegar and it will be perfect for me.

Third Dish: Deep Fried Crispy Chicken

Ok. This is not KFC but it is a homemade deep friend crispy chicken. The chicken is marinated with herbs before it was deep fried. It might taste a little dull especially near the chicken breast but with salt + lime + assam, I am sure you are going to crave for it once you try it.

Fourth dish: Deep Fried Garoupa with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Normally, I am not a fan of boney fish but after deep dried, all the bones seems like edible and crunchy. If only plainly fried, the fish will be too dry. With sweet and source sauce, many kids love this dish.

Fifth dish: Yin Yang Prawn

Why want to resort in one style of prawns when you can have best from both worlds. Boiled prawns with mayonnaise are my real preference as compared to butter fried prawns. Both are equally good and you only pay for single price :)

Sixth dish: Braised Three Varieties of Mushrooms with Seasonal Vegetables

Common dish as you can easily find this in any Chinese restaurant. Personally, I love all the mushrooms since I have been mushrooming (leisuring) at home most of the time.

Seventh dish: XO Fried Rice

In all normal 10 course meals, the rice dish is cooked with salted fish or in Yang Chow style. This rice dish is uncommonly special when they cooked with XO sauce.

Eighth dish: Chinese Pan Cake with Red Bean Mochi

Mochi is famous Japanese dessert and Chinese Pan Cake is traditional Chinese delicacies with stuffed kaya. The combination of both tastes super yummy.

Nine dish: Golden Fish Dumplings.

Of all the dishes, I find this dessert is very creatively made. Instead of round snow moon cake, it was molded into golden pink fish shapes. In Chinese, fish is believed to bring good luck and fortunes to the righteous person. Not all fish tho. Definitely not salted fish for sure.

Do give it a try and make sure you pre-book in advance. Else there is a high possibility that you missed this chance very soon.

Steamboat Ketam Village @ Desa Park City

Many believe that the secret of slimming down your body is by not eating. WRONG! The best way is to reduce your food consumption and EXERCISE! Yes I mean real exercise, walking for 5 minutes or window shopping is not considered as exercise, k? Make sure you work out till you sweat!

I found a place to make you sweat even without exercising. Best is when there is food involved. While walking around Desa Park City Waterfront, this restaurant caught my attention, The Steamboat Ketam Village.

I am not a fan of steamboat because it is boiling hot. Worse is when I can’t even tell if the food is well cooked. Also, I don’t know why many people like steamboat considering Malaysia is a warm and humid country. Sweating like pig seems like unavoidable.

But there are exceptions. This restaurant is fully air-conditioned. Well, they have an open air section too if you really really plan to get wet! Normally this place will get very congested especially during dinner. So, make sure you get there earlier rather than queuing with empty stomach!

Now, you have one of the toughest decisions to make beside which clothes to wear for the dinner. The SOUP! You can choose either a clear chicken soup or a spicy tom yam soup. To avoid cracking my head on tough decision, I just ordered both at the same time!

You don’t have to wait 30 minutes for the soup to be ready as it is already premade in the kitchen. However, you need to spend some time boiling the soup before you can put in the ingredients. It is quite fast to be honest. This is because all tables are equipped with electric hob.

I get undecisive when I look at the menu. This happens quite severely especially when I am hungry. It must be a sign of low sugar in my bloodstream. All dishes looks so deliciously tempting.

Normally I will just point on what I like and ended up too much until I cannot finish it. This time I am smart, at least that how I feel when I ordered it. I chose for a standard steamboat set. The portions is quite decent for one person. Not too much, not too little.

In that one plate, you get fishballs, carrots, prawns, crabstick, noodles, ramen, vegetables, some fried stuff bla bla bla. You won’t believe that all those is only cost bout 16++. Pretty good deal isn’t it.

As much as I claimed earlier that I am not a fan of steamboat, I am somehow impressed and like this restaurant. Food is good, services are friendly and last but not least, it makes me sweat. I can sense that I am slimming down very soon. Just drop by at this restaurant if you happen to be in this area.

Nom with Blogger at FRAMES!

Please come back before 12 am or you will turn into pumpkin. That is like an epic curfew line you normally hear from fairytales. The truth is, your dad will call you every 5 min after 11pm until you get home? Did I get that?

My mom said, “Son, how come you always stay at home. Go out and meet some friends. If don’t have money, let me know..” So, without procrastinating, I accepted a date with not one girl but a bunch of girls. AND guy too of course.

Where about? We travel all the way to pyramid for dinner with my private jets. Ok. Maybe I am a bit over exaggerating. We travel to Sunway Pyramid by CAR for dinner in FRAMES.

Nice place? Oh yea. There are indeed a lot of nicely decorated frames there. Lucky enough all the tables are well set awaiting for our arrival. Sounds grand right? Of course, I am out with bloggers and we have ethics and standard. Lol.

This is my 101 times hanging out with bloggers this year. So, mom no longer asks me to go out anymore. However she started to ask me if I will be back for dinner almost everyday? (that is another new version of curfew.. but I pretend I don’t know).

I can tell you there are almost 20 ++ interesting bloggers over there. They might not be as famous as Kenny Sia or Xia Xue but all of them are great people. At least in my eyes, else, why I want to hang out with them right? AND for some reason I feel younger despite I AM YOUNG now.

Hmm..I know you are going to say .. the food looks so delicious. Yes.. I don’t deny my cam cam skills are acceptable. So, is the food quality good? Personally, I did not try all of it so I do not want to give bias decision here.

Why we chose the place? We all purchased RM29.90 worth voucher just for dining in Frames. Is it a good deal? Absolutely! With RM 29.90, you get 2 Ice lemon tea, 2 person meals AND free RM 50 voucher per purchase of the voucher (for next visit).

You have the options of choosing spaghetti or burger set for your main course. Of course they are smart enough not to let you choose 2 spaghettis at the same time. So if you bring your gf with you. Be gentleman and let her choose first.

Or if you are smart enough, be like me. I purchased a voucher and I didn’t bring any dates. So you get to eat BOTH! Okok. I know it sounds a bit sad, I get it! :P

But hey.. who cares it is sad or not, as long as my tummy is super happy. Imagine ur tummy get the best of both worlds. I’m not talking about fat over here but the satisfaction.. :) Well, I am not as selfish as you think. I do share out my beloved fish burgers to other bloggers too ok?

I am not fancy on ice lemon tea whether it tastes better if you buy it yourself or it is free but I am totally into strawberry milkshake. My favorite all time drink that never disappoint me.

If you noticed, I did not comment much about food here. Why? Because my main focus here is spending time with all those chicks and handsome dude out there.. Damn the guy in circle looks super awesome and handsomely attractive. Wonder who is him?

Join us next time and we, bloggers love to meet up with new people. Ops corrections! Some people :P

Just for U .. Oh yea, Free Tickets!

It has been a million years since I last blog about movie. What drive me today? Well, let say there is someone special that I would like to dedicate this free movie to. Cheap skate? Why not I just buy the tickets instead?

There are a lot of things money can’t buy. Using money to buy stuffs for people proly ain’t a good idea. She might be happy but not truly or just temporary :) The truth is I want to use my effort to get something without involving a paper note.

What should I do then? As a blogger (at least I slowly consider myself as one now, considering it links me to the special one), you blog to get free movie tickets?

Is it that simple? I tell you NOT really. You need to be slightly creative than average, interesting than average, word it nicely than average bla bla bla so that you will stand more chance to get it!

What makes me interested in watching “The Eagle”? You still don’t get it don’t you? I thought I make it very clear in the beginning. Okok.. I don’t think you can’t feel it yet. Let me try something more creative..

What makes me interested in watching “The Eagle”? Technically, I am gay VIRTUALLY. Seeing masculine warriors with tight abs and handsomely cute actors in action really excite me. What about history, sword, blood, violent? I would say all those are real bonus and will definitely makes this movie just too sexy to be missed.

Creative enough now? Why not, Let’s watch the trailer first?

Ok now I have serious problems. This is not a romantic love story! Is that a bad idea? Absolutely not.. I know many guys try to either bring girls to watch romantic love movie or horror movie (those are perverts for sure).

Real romantic guy will bring the girl to watch whatever movies she likes, give her a cuddle if she is cold and definitely lend the comfy shoulder for her to lean on. It is never about the movie but it is always about who you are watching with.

Is this the right movie? Absolutely.. it makes me different than others out there and the trailer shows some sense of excitement..

Thanks to Jfook, my best buddy, my famous pimp to show me this opportunity for a great date .. I hope!

Canton-i @ Sunway Pyramid

Recently, “i” is very famous. I bet you know about iPod, iTunes, iTouch and iPhone. I am not sure what “i” stands for but many believe that it is an abbreviation for “intelligent” but it can also be “idiot” :p.

If you remember that I wrote about Dragon-i @ Pavillion, KL before, now I am going to write about Canton-i. Yes, both are equally well known and both have the famous “i” too. Hehe. If Dragon-i is famous with Shanghai Cuisine, Canton-i is famous with Hong Kong Cuisine.

What so special about this restaurant? I don’t know, really but what I do know is I need a place to grab a quick lunch. To me, all these franchise served very decent food and the quality is well maintained too.

When come to this place, I am expecting a certain standard on their service and not to mention the restaurant ambience too. If the place is below my expectation, probably you will never see from me again. I am a man with standard, remember?

Like I just said, this is a quick lunch so please don’t expect many fancy dishes from me this time. You know I do have bottomless stomach but sometimes, I do grab a quick bite. Might be only sandwiches (nah don’t really like sandwiches) or donuts.

I ordered Stew Yee Mee, custard bun and Fu Chok Roll. Personally, I like this stew Yee Mee very much. It is best served when it is still hot as the noodles will get slightly dry and salty after it gets colder. Is that a scallop? Yes it is. The main ingredient is BIG BIG scallop beside shitake mushroom, carrot and broccoli.

Custard bun is my all time favorite. When you take the first bite, the sensation of warm custard melting my mouth is heavenly. This is comparable with custard bun in Dragon-i @ Pavillion, KL despite the purple color is a bit of a turn off.

Fu Chook Roll is another dim sum that I usually ordered but surprisingly the Fu Chok roll over here is not every impressive. Edible, taste ok but I expect something better. Call me fussy but I still finish it tho :P

One thing that I like about this place is the dragon fruit juice. It is not ice blended but I called it ice crushes. Not too sweet, not too diluted and it is just fantabulous. I would have order for two glasses if I have to :)

I paid about RM 79 for this meal. Expensive? I think it is slightly on the expensive side but hey, BIG SCALLOPS wor, 2 baskets of custard bun wor, Fu Chok Roll wor and of course my favorite Dragon Fruit Juice WOR! I will come back again for sure, will you?

Kafe Kaki Corner @ Taman Billion, Cheras

FOOT fetish, FOOT reflexology, FOOT ball, FOOT ware are commonly found in everywhere. Wait a min, I am not sure about foot fetish but that sounds so scary if they are near you. LOL.

Recently, a friend of mine brought me to this FOOT place, not for foot reflexology but for FOOD instead. It is called Kafe Kaki Corner. Foot = Kaki in malay. Lol. I bet the owner must be really creative in deciding for this name and the foot logo.

If you are not a fan of hot steamy Malaysia’s weather, you can sit in air conditioned section where you can enjoy BIG TV. If you naturally love the outdoor atmosphere, you can sit by the roadside too.

I must say, besides parking is slightly challenging, this place is perfect for you to bring your date. Don’t ask me who I go with because I am not going to tell you :P *busybody ler you! This is not a super high class restaurant but a decent restaurant for evening dining.

Let’s see, I ordered Ham Cheese Chicken. The food presentation might look simple but the combination of grilled chicken with ham is deliciously yummy. The coleslaw is comparable with KFC coleslaw and the fries are just an ordinary fries.

If you noticed, there spread some chili powder to add some flavor to the ham. Look simple but the taste just blended in nicely. Therefore, I rank this my favorite dish here and I will come back again for this.

Lamb chop is nothing unique. Ohh.. wait a sec. This lamb chop is very unique because it is boneless lamb chop. I never tried this before. I hate boney meat and I hate boney more than meat. So this is just perfect for me.

The black pepper sauce never goes wrong with lamb chop. IF you are smart enough, call the waiter to get you the mint sauce. I can tell you upfront that you are going love it. If happen that you tried roasted lamb, try to dip into mint sauce too. The refreshingly minty taste is going to excite your taste bud even more and make the food automatically taste really better.

Owh, I nearly forget that there is another dish that I like most over here. It is Escargot! This is freshly baked with cheese and spices. I might be slightly biased because personally, I love cheese and I love escargot. I tell you, I even tried to clean the cheese sauce after I finish all the escargot. Hehe

What surprise me is 6 escargots only cost about RM 10.50. Really cheap isn’t it?

Now, let me tell you about the drink first before I introduce the additional dish that I ordered. This is called jumbo size drink and it is really JUMBO. I ordered lime juice with sour plum and apple juice. Trust me, I hardly finish these.

Beside the drink is jumbo, the sausages are also in great size too. It might appears small here but I tell you, I am like wah..so big..when they first served it to me.

Overall, this meal only cost about RM 70 and it is really SatisFATing! Try to bring your date to this café and I am very sure they are going to love it too.
