My new year resolution

It's going to be literally simple yet challenging.

#Always be positive in doing everything. It's a chain reaction. When you see things on the negative side, there is a big chance that things will not get done.

#Always be determined

#Lose more weight =D

#Discover more good food in this world


And most importantly

Overall year 2010 for me is normal for a student like me, and becoming more challenging with obstacles approaching, and also exciting bits here and there. So how was your year 2010? =) Time to make some new year resolutions before today's 2359 (=

Vietnam Kitchen @ One Utama

I have a weak memory about the restaurants in One Utama so I decided to google to search for a makan place for my family. My first choice was KTZ(Kei Tak Sek) after reading plenty of food reviews. Mana tau the place is closed down already. Mum suggested Vietnamnese food for a change.

We have been to this restaurant since 5 years ago. We have nearly forgotten the existence of this restaurant since it has been some time since we visited there.

The menu looks like a newspaper

Braised nuts as appetiser

Pork Chop Set (16.90MYR)

Sister said the pork chop taste like satay

Savoury Seafood Gravy Steamed Siakap (19.90 MYR for promotion price)

The sweet&sour taste sauce matched well with the fresh fish. I find that the dish is a bit too sour when eating too much.

Beef Hor Fun (12.90 MYR)

Not your average Cantonese Noodle or Wat Tan Hor. Mum find this dish is not as tasty as last time.

My all time favourite Chicken&Spring Roll Vermicelli (11.90 MYR)

This sweet&sour sauce consists of green chillies and peanuts is not meant for dipping purpose. Mix it into the bowl of noodle and Bon Appetite! ;)

The Spring Roll is crispy with the flavourful fillings inside it. Chicken pieces were tender and well-marinaded. Accompanied with refreshing fibres like cucumber, lettuce and mint leaves, overall was as tasty as last time. I would say that this is a healthy salad vermicelli =)

Avocado&Red Bean Blended (6.90MYR)

Taste normal. A healthy choice of drink =)

Head to Vietnam Kitchen if you are craving for some Vietnamnese food. They have pretty good choices of food in the menu =)

Chicken&Spring Roll Vermicelli is recommended- with 4/5 rating

How I spent my Christmas Day

Attended some church musical event in Taylor's Lakeside campus with family. Students from performing arts did a great performance. Satay was served after the event. Awesome.

Next stop

My all time favourite shopping mall- The Curve. The Christmas decorations were great but was not as impressive as the ones in Mid Valley.

Dinner time at Ikea's restaurant. It is always really really packed with people. It's like people eat all the time for 24 hours! -___- Luckily we managed to find a seat in less than 5 minutes.

Normal salmon dish that I used to order.

the usual favourite dish- Ikea meatballs

Pretty decent and yet affordable chicken wings

Herb baked salmon. This taste a lil bit weird because of the sourness of the orangy sauce =/ The salmon was fresh though.

The cashier was behaving rude to the couple in front of me while I was paying money. Can't she just ask the customer politely to take the cups to the counter to pay rather than raising the tone of voice?

As I was pushing the trolley with three tiers of food, another trolley was blocking my way and the ladies just don't bother to push it away since they used the trolleys 0__0 I am speechless on this kind of people.

That was the worst dining experience, during Christmas somemore.

So, how was your Christmas? =) New year is just fews days to come. I hope to end year 2010 with some positive enerygy =D

Farewell

the temporary last picture with her :3

Goodbyes are not forever
Goodbyes are not the end
They simply mean I'll miss you
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

All the best in your future undertakings. Take care babe (=

O-ko-no-mi-ya-ki

It has been few years since I had this yummylicious food. Okonomiyaki is a type of Japanese savoury pancake with different types of fillings according to your choice.

Add some seafood

and crack an egg on top of it

Ta-da! Okonomiyaki is finally ready to be eaten! I had it as a light dinner and it just fills my stomach really well. 8 MYR per pancake is pretty reasonable.

You can find this shop in Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid =)

Pork Noodles @ Restaurant Pomander, SS15 Subang Jaya

One fine day, my mum finally agreed with me to go for the famous pork noodle hunt in SS15 Subang Jaya, along with my lil sister & brother.

In case you have problem finding the shop, it is located just behind Taylors business school. I actually had minor problem finding the shop, instead of finding it, I asked the boss from the book shop around there and he told us the direction. Spot for the bright yellow signboard (=

"Boss, two large bowls of pork noodles please, with no pig innards"

" OK but you have to wait for 45 minutes"

Yeah, the person in charge will tell you that. So, is it worth waiting of 45 minutes for one bowl of pork noodle?

My asnwer is



No.

The taste of the soup is moderate only, but this is so far not the best pork noodles that I have ever had. The bits of pork lard doesn't make a difference to the soup though. 5.70 MYR for one bowl of not so large pork noodle is relatively overpriced =/

I will not visit the same shop for pork noodles again. But if you prefer a lighter taste version of pork noodle, this might be a good choice for you =)


Address

No. 78, Jalan SS15/4B
47500 Subang Jaya.

Ohaiyo Daiso!

Finally bought some food from Daiso =D



Mixed nuts with anchovies. Good snacks to munch on but the portion is a lil too small for 5 MYR.

Caramel candy and green tea candy =D taste not bad though. I've tried the brown sugar candies as well ( " hei tang" candies ). A good buy =)

For only 5 MYR per item and you get loads of happiness. Shopping at Daiso is so much easier as you can find various kinds of products ranging from cooking utensils, stationeries and even food stuffs! A variety of barang-barang under one roof!

The one and only nineteenth ♥

This was a veryX100 backdated post. My birthday was in October and it's already December now. Precious memories are worth to be blogged, isn't it? =)

Picture speaks more than a thousand words

Thank you to awesome bunch of friends for celebrating my birthday, lovely wishes&presents. I had a memorable one for my one and only nineteenth =3

How I spent my study break

Yeah I'm done with final exams, three papers. Gonna enjoy the 3 weeks break to the fullest =)

Back to the topic. Study break is the best time to do the necessary revisions, so how and where I spent those nerding times?

#Study at home

Hmm... I dun really can concentrate studying at home. So I usually study at my college or even like other colleges and cafes.

#Blogging

One of the best methods to release stress. But the mood is not really there so I kinda neglected my blog for almost one month I think? Except for the tiny recent post. Sorry readers =(

#Now the main thing. Enjoy cuppa coffee :D

Since last year I started to drink coffee regularly. Well, not because of addiction but I just love the aroma of coffee. The caffeine doesn't really affect me so I'm ok with coffee.

Blended mocha from San Franciso Coffee. I reckon this is better from starbucks and coffee bean because it has stronger coffee taste than the chocolate.

Coffee jelly blended frappucino. Nothing special and taste ok only

Peppermint mocha. This is my favourite among all, ranking second after the blended mocha from San Francisco =) A refreshing peppermint after taste is the bonus point

Toffee nut. A bit too sweet but overall was fine =) Still prefer peppermint mocha

Creme brulee. Taste similar to toffee nut and I thought my hair smell like toffee after having it for 2 days continuously. Must be the overdosage of toffee =/

The hot version of creme brulee. Not too bad lah. Best to drink while it's hot :3

And overall it was about coffee, mood booster during hectic studies. Whoosh!

More upcoming posts soon! Stay tuned =)

Thanks for visiting =)

Exam season

Alright finally I have the time to blog. Just a short update =)

Done with audit and financial management paper. Both was quite ok.

Left with last paper, financial reporting which is on next tuesday. A heavy paper. Hope it will be fine.

All I hope is a pass, of course above average would be good. To all those who are also having exam, best of luck and do your best.

I'll be back to normal blogging mode after next Tuesday 14 December 2010. Stay tuned! (=

Dear readers,

sorry for the MIA. Blogger has been busy prepearing for her final exam.

Promise will update after finals!

All the best to CAT & ACCA students in their final exam.

Cheers! :)

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

To my blog :)

Been started blogging since 16-10-2008 which is two days before my birthday, in other words, near to SPM.

I believe blogging is one of the ways to confess feelings, release stress and even occupy some free time.

Throughout the journey blogging from last year of high school to university, I find that it is worth of investing time to blog. From discovering people posting up shitty comments to brain-expanding ideas of blog posts, every single minute is truly worth the heart to blog :3

Discovered and joined Nuffnang about one year ago, thanks to friend's recommendation. It's another great platform to get to know more people and at the same time, earn some cash *ka ching*

A big thanks to all readers out there for paying a visit to my blog ^^

Blogging is one of my favourite hobbies, and not forgetting to say, will continue to blog until the day I die. This is the real passion :)

Mama Kitchen, Bandar Puteri Puchong

Eating out can be a headache for my family because we need to crack our head to find a new place to have our meal since we have been visiting the same old food places. Family wants to try something new so I decided to recommend some new food places. Until I discovered Mama Kitchen after reading food reviews from iamthewitch.com and other bloggers.

Soya Bean with Cincau.

This sambal belacan is good! Not too spicy and flavourful at the same time. My mum easily polished 3 small plates of this sambal (She is a great chilli eater :P)

The claypot loh see fun came piping hot with plenty of minced meat and topped with raw egg. I can smell the aroma when the waiter was bringing the dish to our table. Pretty decent as the fragrant minced meat is the hero of the dish :)

Sweet and sour pork rice. According to mum and sis it was delicious.


Kam Heong Chicken rice. The sauce is really aromatic and spicy enough. Thumbs up!

Yong Chow fried rice. The taste was kinda bland and the rice was hard. I presume they over-chilled the rice. Quite a big dissapointment as I expect a good fried rice.

Fried Tofu with mayonnaise. The moment of giving the first bite I was pampered with the smooth and soft beancurd texture. Not bad but I think Tak Fok's version is better than this one.

Fried baby kailan. The portion was quite small.

We also had the Yong Tau Foo and Bitter Gourd soup. Nothing to shout about though.
