The Museum Restaurant, Kota Damansara - Bad Stuff

This post is for those who bought the deal at Groupon or Milkadeal or whatever for RM25. 4 western main course for 2 person.

Unluckily i bought 2 since i think that for RM25 and with the main menu like that..is it possible to be full? Yup, not only we were not full, the foods also sucks.. Come on la for those restaurant who put yourself on group deals please serve good food cause a lot of people will be buying and it is sort like promotion for your place. If goods we will blog it and introduce it to our friends and family..if not??? all you get is bad reputation cause i'm certainly gonna give you one now..

First to come ...Soup.. Mushroom i think

No taste whatsoever.. 

Secondly..Salad

They gave us one plate of salad 1/4 of cherry tomato (wallaweh) and 1/4 egg with  several leaf of salad and mayonnaise dressing..

Thirdly...main course.. mine Rack of Lamb with Plum Sauce..hubby went for Sirloin

Seriously it's not even rack and the plum sauce taste nothing as well.. not even a hint of sour..duhh

The Sirloin meat was done when my dear asked for medium..and actually you can eat better western and cheaper too at Damansara Damai food court beside the Mc Donalds.. Seriously that one is better..

Fourth..Panna cotta/desert

It's just a jelly nothing..it doesn't taste specific and it's yellow colour.. 

Then we decide to use the other coupon as well since it's sucks anyway..might as well finish it then and there

So we choose other main..mine i took Lamb Ragout and my dear took Duck Breast something la

Both are totally cannot be eaten..The Lamb Ragout was more like a bad Mee Basah/Mee Hailam..taste a bit bitter and the spaghetti totally kembang..and the duck was sweet with orange dressing..we just left it like that..

Truthfully even after 8 course we still going back hungry.. no wonder the restaurant got so little patrons..

Nursery, Diapers & All in Between - Part 1

First time being a mom is really a learning process. You got to experience a lot of first time stuff..like what milk to buy, which diapers to choose and how to pick a nursery if you're a working mother. When Kaka was born i even don't know how to give her milk until the lovely nurse teach me how to..

She's really nice..even teach me to swaddle her. Then there's time i need to buy breast milk pump since Kaka's not a big fan of sucking milk. Well since i'm a cheapskate when it comes to unnecessary expenses i often choose cheap alternative. 

My breast milk pump is not those expensive auto that cost cheapest at 200 ringgit. Mine is Pureen Manual Breast pump that i bought at 16 ringgit at Tesco. It's easy to clean and it's totally fine to use. I read some of the mom said it hurt or something using it but it's just nice for me. The trick is to find the focal point where it suits the pressure of the pump. Buy the one with the blue ball where you get to squeeze it for the pressure. That one better than the finger handle one.

For first timer mom, make sure you buy breast pump before you deliver cause sometimes your baby don't know how to suck or drink a bit only at the beginning. And your milk will make your breast really hurt if you just let it fill. Believe me i know cause i caught on fourth or fifth day after delivery cause Kaka drink very little only each time.

It's My Birthday

My dear already celebrated it for me yesterday night by cooking for me. And i got a cake as well. He said it's our anniversary cake as well since we served red velvet during our wedding lunch. 

Today my friends came to our house and again my dear cooked for them since i cannot move anywhere taking care of our baby.

Anyway my Birthday always been lovely celebrated and am so happy even with my age increase.

Raya: Food and All in Between

My first raya as a mommy. Actually felt pretty proud when everyone praise how cute my little darling is.

Most memorable when my mother in law call to wish me this year. It's so nice having another family and mom.

First day of raya sometimes makes you wish you are not a woman. All those tidy up, washing the dishes and stuff makes you really tired but contented.

Today i ate a lot. My mom do beef rendang and rendang kerang. And then go to my neighbour house to eat rendang itik. Wah so damn full until now.

Anyway early in the morning just now relatives came and friends too. It is wonderful and tummy suffering day for me..

Before Raya

Wow what a super busy day i had this few days. Seeing mom and father in law yesterday. Then my mom also came from home town. And today bring my mom for shopping. At first early in the morning around 10 something we reach wangsa maju Aeon Big cause there are a lot baju raya selling there with quite cheap. But you have to survey before buy cause some place sells cheap than the others.

Rather than buying clothes i end up buying 3 packs of my baby milk and 1 pack of diapers. And later on bought a car seat. Whew.. Really a long way today and quite jam also. It is wrong to think that people already gone back home town. The shopping complex also really full.

Rakuzen, Publika

Yesterday iftar was done at Japanese restaurant Rakuzen. Usually we go to their branch in Desa Parkcity but not this time. We don even plan to eat here actually but since we knew their food more than other patrons so we choose them.

We both took a set and some side dishes. Mine was Beef Tepanyaki set Rm38. My dear took Sushi with Mini Udon set Rm36. Like usual we ordered Agedashi tofu and Salmon maki. Our bill plus drink and tax was Rm146.

I love Rakuzen. We consider it as a quality Japanese eatery. I ordered my beef medium well done and it.s just so good. Tender and succulent.

Facebook & Youtube : Promoting Racism to Religion

Sudah sudahlah tu.. that's enough.. 

It's like youngster (minority) today really want to be famous but not in a good way. No matter what religion and what race you are it doesn't matter. We live in one soil, why must you provoke other people and create a drama. It's not with good happy ending and it lacks of moral values as well. Is that what you want to teach to your children in the future. In actual lives we really good to each other especially one's who live without internet namely villagers and old timers. Please don't break that ties as well, as we can see youngster becoming more and more racist. 

I'm not bluffing. Yesterday i went to a phone shop. One of the guys attend me and he seems really nice ( of coz la want to sell barang mah) and the others sit and just ignore us. I told him just looking around and he said never mind and still attend me. After seeing some phones and he give me prices + discount i told him it's expensive and will think about it ( i saw the same model much cheaper somewhere else) and walking away. The other guys told him in Mandrin.. Malay people mah (sounds insulting like we cannot afford).. yes i am a Malay but i married to Chinese. I knew what they said and it's hurt my feelings a bit. And to tell the truth i can even afford to buy that damn I Phone. I just don want cause i love my money so much to waste it. Nowadays a lot of Malays knew and understand Huayu or Cantonese. So don't just treat anyone without respect. That goes both ways k. P/s : we learn Huayu in UiTM for Business Faculty so watch out. There's so many Malays knew basic of Mandrin language ^^

Couple weeks back it's Alvin & Vivian's controversial break fasting video broke out.. this one even Chinese that i knew thought they were mad.. Now it's our own brother made a video regarding dogs and raya. What have happen to our society nowadays..

Can't we leave out what others hold dear to their heart be.. if you love to eat that Bak Kut Teh then eat la..we Muslims cannot eat only mah..we don't asked you to not eat it also what.. so why want to use our prerogative to halal as an issue.. 

And for Chetz Yusof, if you loves dogs so much it's your life what..why want to drag religion into this..truthfully as a Muslim i myself have seen the change in our religion and i always stick up with what i learn when i'm just a kid. Cause sometimes i think it's more legit than now. There's so many people making videos or taking videos of Ustaz's opinion on the subject. And sometimes their opinion differ from each other. And they also have to learn to stick to the fact and not giving their own opinion when they give their speech cause people might use it as their believe.

As a kid we learn at school that we cannot eat pig cause it will be harmful to our health. If not cooked properly i think since Chinese seems healthy. But we embrace it and that's that. No need to have other opinion or explanation or whatever. It's stated in our religion so we follow. Simple and easy. No pun intended for those who eat it.

As for dogs, we can have them but only for purpose like safety and last time they use for hunting food. Only that. Even when we kept them for those stuff, we have to do the "Samak" - wash whatever their saliva or wet things from them that fall upon us with clay water and then water 7 times. It's also a health things. And i think ( my opinion ok) why we are not allowed to keep them is they tend to make us forget to do our duties cause they are so cute and cuddly and wants our attention most of the time. Opposite from cats which tend to avoid us unless it's eating time. So, it's impossible their saliva will only gets to you kan..must be whole house kena..so you want to Samak the whole house ke everyday..so that's why it's not convenient for us to keep dogs.. not that we don like them..

I like them a lot you know.. i sometimes went to Desa Parkcity and pet them as well. But Chetz is so wrong by doing that video. It's not suitable at all. No matter how many video from Ustaz's he posted explaining it's not wrong..it is for me. There will be no legitimate Uztaz will says it's right for you to have a dog in your house and you can pray 5 times a day with them near you.

And then it's just my opinion...

Iftar at Nando's

Yesterday i took a time out from my dear and have some fun with my girl Zura. As she said to her husband, we were in our formal hang out place at KL Festival City Mall, Setapak. So, we just wants to talk, hang around and do bits of shopping. 

As it's fasting month all eateries must be booked earlier to avoid disappointment. And my advise to non-muslim..during this month avoid Halal's restaurants since it will be usually full  around 7.30.. we booked our place around 6.30p.m and there's only 1 table left at that time. So, imagine that. You have to reserve your spot. But after 8 pm usually it will quited down since we have to eat faster to catch up with our Maghrib prayer.

So, we took break fasting deal at Rm56..there are 1 salad + 2 x 1/4 chicken with 2 side dishes + 3 smal pcs of cakes ( like cake batik one) + bottomless drink ( ice lemon tea /coke).. our total bill includes taxes Rm64 something. 

Overall the taste is quite ok la. I took the extra hot peri-peri chicken which by my standard not hot at all. I have to add the too hot sauce several time to get the kick. The food came a bit late after break fasting and it's cold. I wonder what took them so long when it's cold.. the service pretty good and we have our bottomless refill in no time..

Sleepy Tuesday

Freakin-tastic.. yesterday break fasting with Uncle Phillips & Chui Mei and we went back pretty late to house..now i'm a dead fish since at 4a.m my dear woke me up for sahur..

Thanks god he already prepared everything for me and i just have to eat only..thanks my dear..

Well the place that Uncle Phillips brought us was pretty wonderful. It's a Vege Fish Farm in Ulu Langat. If someone didn't bring u there you won't know it's actually exist at all. We ate seafood there. Pretty romantic ambiance and we talk and laugh a lot.

The price?? well it's kind of on the side of expensive but then we just enjoyed our food. It's still consider affordable for us.

I think we reached house around 11p.m last nite. wow.. and now my eyes getting narrow and narrower..

Dating day- Chili's & One Utama

I actually ask my darl whether he wants to watch Wolverine or not and he said no mood for that and that's kinda ok for me coz i don really feel too as well. Then he pick me up from work and straightly went to One Utama for dating. We walk around thinking what to eat..either Seoul Garden or Chilli's or other place and coz darl always said want to eat at Chilli's for some time and i always tell him no ( after yesterday only i know y i keep saying no).. we've been skipping Chilli's for years now. Last time my darl always like to go there and me not..

My darl ate Mushroom Jack Fajitas - beef  RM48.95

Mine - Ramadhan Combo Ribeye Steak Rm51.95

Tostada Chips - bottomless RM13.95

Chili - RM11.95

Bottomless Fanta Grape RM6.95

The Verdict : It's bad and expensive and totally not worth it. Now i know why i've been avoiding Chilli's all these years. The good things that maybe will make me come back will only be the bottomless Tostada chips & their bottomless drinks in the future.

They overcooked my darl Mushroom Jack's beef..he asked for medium rare coz it's served in hot plate so it bound to still be cooked when we eat it..but it come out medium well and it's become quite tough meat after a while. I can still feel my gums hurt until now. 

My steak on the other hand was medium rare when i ask for medium well.. O.M.G! 

They forgot my Ceaser Salad - part of the set.. and the steak just tastless meat and not very tender. It's a wreck..an expensive one..urghhhh

Then we ordered Chilli thinking maybe it's better but no no no..it's taste like grind meat cooked with curry powder. Oh my lord.. hence i said go for tostada chips only if you're here.. i rather eat at Tony Roma's or Brazilian Churascria ( malas nak googled 4 right spelling).. and the price we pay would be less than here..

Our bill came out as RM191.25.. our tax only RM16.49 + RM9.90..you can actually get decent meal for just the tax only..

So we pledge to omit Chilli's from our list of restaurant in the future..

P/S : they are selling baby stuff really cheap in front of Parkson same floor as Chilli's..that baby carrier just RM65 rather than actual price RM99. It's real coz i've seen that model sell for that price at JUSCO. 

My dear also bought me Revlon lip tint that i want so much after we went around and i never wanted to buys bags & shoes he showed me ..awww

Aino Living Warehouse Sales

Yup it happen nearby. At Desa Parkcity.. so after work yesterday at 4.30pm i straightly go there. I'm thinking to dash off pretty quick since weekdays shouldn't be too crowded than weekend. But boy do i got it all wrong.. it took us 2 hours in line just to pay for the goods we bought.. my dear was really losing his cool and so does i..

2 damn fucking hours.. around 6.30pm only we manage to get our stuff paid..

 

Rm15

 

 

Rm10

 

Rm20 - 5pcs

Other than that i bought blue plates that goes for Rm2 per pc. They got this really beautiful claytan set for Rm20 1 set and Claytan green plate really pretty at Rm7 per pc. Actually it's kind of worth it to go and buy but the process of payment is a night mare. I hope they settle it after yesterday. Since it's day one and they should have seen the error by now and improve it cause weekend crowd will be much more..  

Thanks to my dear cause put up with me and my warehouse sales mania..hu hu..

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Hi..hello..how are you this fasting season..Alhamdulillah my days are still full and i haven't skip a day of it..thank god for giving me strength!

Well it's been a slow month except when it's time to makan lah..so many food..so many wastage and so many free meal..just go to the mosque and you'll have buffet spread and zero expenses.. This time of the month if the fatty month even though we are not eating through out the day..

There are so many benefits of fasting to our health as well as our mind. Train us to be patient and cool.. for me it means gets to off from work early, 4.30 i chow already and no need to cook..just buy la..ha ha..

Aside from that it's just a normal typical day..yada yada yada..until raya holiday..yea..cannot wait for that..anyway be careful when buying food at bazar Ramadhan cause they all just want to untung only. Yesterday i bought bubur jagung for my mom at Damansara Damai bazar there and it's spoil already.. they are so rotten.. huh.. 

Dating Day : Pacific Rim

Yesterday we went for dating day. Suddenly my dear told me we were going to go pak to after picking me up from work. So as i'm fasting, we went for movie. From all the movies, this one was the earliest from the rest. And hence we pick it up.

First thing i just felt like i'm watching an Ultraman movie. There's the big monster destroying cities and honestly it looks like that with more higher animation and CGI.

As things progress it's getting through normal plot. Bad boys good at what they do then tragedy and they back out. Then they were needed and become hero again. Well at least it's full of actions all the way. So it's an ok movie to see..

Fasting : First Day

I bet we're eager to wake up for Sahur this morning..first day mah..ha ha

But then after day to day we will get lazy to even open our eyes..

Normal scenario la tu..for us who from small until now never tuang puasa then can last until break fasting later at 7.30 nite la. But for those new ( like my hubby) sure cannot one..some more yang selalu tuang puasa tu..hampeh 

But it's fun fact of life la..

I bet other race more excited than Malay cause they don have to fasting and still got to go to bazar ramadhan later which consist of wide spread of delicacies.  This is the time to splurge but more so people do it recklessly. 

So guys buy what you can eat only..heck there's a lot of food and you got one month bro to sample each and every one. So, mo sam kap.. man man lei.. he he

For me fasting means i got to forgo lunch routine which becoming very boring indeed. And shorter hour at work. I'll be finish working at 4.30 p.m now..muahahahahaha....

 

Back to Work

First day of work after 2 months of maternity leave. One word.

WOW!

Feels like i've been gone from the scene too long and i miss my baby..my darling busyuk..

 

She like taking pictures and she's so cute.. owhhh... geramnya mommy..

Anyway back to work..another 2 hour plus to kill.. 

Heart Matters

For me i'm all for heart. It's not easy to have someone do something willingly for you unless they are close at heart. Money yeah they can buy anything but heart cut close to the truth always..

Today my dear gave me 2 wallets. Even though it's not exactly Prada or Gucci or expensive or what i would choose for myself i totally happy being surprised by him. He went to bought it for me and surprised me with it when he came back from work today. That's just sweet. 

He said one really similar to his wallet now..white colour and another one should be use when there's function..just leave it to him to think like that..

Anyway he knows i would kill him if buys expensive stuff that totally not worth it and i love him to death cause of that. Heart matters in anything you do or whatever person done for you..even when it's not ur thing.. come on..white ??? anyway i'll use it anyway..thanks for both wallet dear ;)

Korean Food Festival One Utama

It's been such a long time since we've come to One  Utama. There are new things such as IMAX TGV and also ISETAN. Just now we went there and they are holding Korean Food Festival by Cold Storage which their way to get rid nearly expired stock.

We bought some Kimchi - not that kick/nice and some Korean foods as well.

After a little bit walking taking on the new surrounding we went for makan. So long we didn't eat at Charms so we choose it. Like usual we ordered Lambs Charms at Rm19.90 with rice. It's still good as last time and we ordered today's special Lamb with fries at Rm15.90 with bubur kacang merah.

There's a lot of sales going on and they got gorgeous shoes at discounted price all over..You guys should check it out definitely!
