Sushi Mentai at Menjalara

On Sunday we were a little bit lost on what to eat around 3pm. So we heading to Menjalara for some idea and we spotted this newly open sushi shop. It's a lot like sushi king where there's kaiten belt  with sushi turning round and round.

But they only have 2 colour plates to differentiate price. One was pink and the other red. And it's much cheaper than other Sushi shop as well. 

The overall taste was good. If you like Sushi King than this is definitely cheaper options for you. And it's located on a shop lot. So no hassle on parking and crowd. 

My husband as usual like his Soba. So this Tenzaru Soba priced at Rm12.80. 

 

One of my chosen plate. It's only Rm2.80..

 

 

Green tea not as good as Sushi King but alright la. I'm not that choosy. Anyway it's Rm1 per person for tea. 

If you happen to see one of this Sushi outlet, try it. It won't disappoint and value for money.

Tony Roma's Groupon Coupons

I think there a lot of Tony Roma's ribs fan waiting for deals from them. Firstly it's always worth it and they don't really cheat you. Not like some of the restaurants. They are on their class of their own. Last nite we manage to use our Groupon but past the open fasting time since i cannot make reservation at 7 o'clock. We came to the Curve around 8.10 pm like that and leave our contact number to them for empty table. We didn't wait long cause around 10 to 15 min they call us already. 

Our Groupon paid at RM40 perperson entitled each of us to get 1 set of 2 ribs + barbecue chicken ( you can choose chicken strips) + 2 sides , soup , mango breezes ( i think, very refreshing).. so it's complete and worth it. I get quarter of chicken and can't even finish my side dishes. They also gave complimentary bread.

The service was as always..very good and the food came fast. Overall it's a good deal and it Tony Roma's..'Nough said i think ^ ; ^

Dubu-Dubu Seoul Food

Yesterday me and hubby went to Berjaya Times Square for a bit of Shopping ( my part actually) and we have to eat, right.

So, i suggest that we tried some Korean food. And i'm glad i choose correctly. I just loves it here. The restaurant in the fourth floor i think. Cause we were at 3rd floor and went up another escalator. Anyway Google will always be at your service for exact location..ha ha

The first thing that i like was the Kimchi. Wow, it's totally in accordance to my taste. Better that Seoul Garden. It's slightly spicy and soury and just damn good. Cause we came on weekdays so there's lunch set with affordable price. The damage of the day was Rm35.75 only.

This is what we ordered..set for 2 person Rm24.90 add on drink Rm3.90 for Ginger Tea and Rm2 for Green Tea.

Mine was Soondubu Jigae - a bit of spice broth with some egg and tofu. Totally tantalizing your taste buds.
Came with rice and Banchan (side dish - add Rm2 for freeflow). Banchan was Kimchi, Vege and macaroni (this was weird..haha).

Hubby took Spicy Chicken Wing with rice. And their rice was mixed i think with glutinous (did i spell it correctly)  rice. 

Anyway this offer totally on weekdays only from 10a.m to 3p.m...

Tai Zi Heen at Prince Hotel Jalan Conlay

 

It's my sister in law suggestion to try out the dim sum buffet here since she saw some good reviews and it's totally halal as well plus near her house. We went for lunch yesterday and the buffet was by a la carte version. We choose what we wanted and wrote it on the form provided. As usual i let if fall to them to choose since i just ate almost everything. 

I like most if the dim sum and it's quite ok for me. I loves the roasted duck most cause it's yummy since i'm not really a fan of roasted duck. I often find them hard and not properly seasoned. Some like grouper with lemon i don't really favor cause it's sweet instead of sour and some of the weird oriental stuff like prawn wist wasabi ect ect..

Overall it's quite ok and we left full. The downside of it was the service was really slow. We got our egg tart & snow crab salad nearly at the end of the meal when we ordered that one first thing when we came. Some of the dish ordered really arrived when you're about to leave and it's hard to catch the eye of the wait staff. 

The dim sum buffet was priced at Rm 45 ++ per person

  

How to Know Cheating Petrol Station

Ha ha seriously this is just a trial & error that i & my hubby done with the petrol stations here in Sri Damansara. Often we fill up out tank and end up losing half of it cause the owner put other stuff in their petrol. It's so obvious if you use your car for works cause you can see the tank just vanish like that.

So, Petron, Shell & Petronas here is so out of question. You can tell it's wrong when you smell the strong smell of kerosene of something when you fill up your tank. The stronger the smell the less petrol actually you'll get. 

Out favorite petrol station now is Caltex owned by Haiza. Situated along the road  to Sri Damansara Industrial area. There's no smell when you fill up your tank and it lasts us long. It's proven ^ ^

Next time you want to fill just smell it and see the different between petrol station ya..

Maybank Cardless Withdrawal

It's genius. In this new millennium a lot of us have a problem with too many cards. Sometimes we forgot and left it somewhere. 

Maybank have invented something as a solution to our problem. Since we never forget our phone this cardless withdrawal system will surely be a welcome solution to the young people which more adaptive in using online/ complicated method.

Being Real Gets You Hated..

More like being label as cruel.. i just can't get that out of my mind..

I've never been called worse than that i guess. Well, that's what you get when you're being realistic and point blank. Most of the time i don't even bother to form a word or opinion on things. It just gets me in trouble of filtering others emotions and it bug me out to do it.

I just tuned annoying things out and make a happy ending about it. And sometimes you better be ignorance to have friends and families or they will kill you with stress plus their idiocy. That will be a tragedy then. Har har har...

Then there's the exonerate parts where you have to forgive or being forgiven. It's just awkward. Sometimes that person have become not so important anymore in my heart and the apology wouldn't matter anymore for me. I just stop to care.. 

I guess until the end i am as cruel as a human can be. We're just human after all..we love, we hate and we certainly will die. Does it worth it to take things seriously when your time never stop ticking..i guess not..

Forgiveness is a shady business..

Genting Highland & Dong Zhi Festival

Happy New Year 2014!

Seems like i've been on hiatus..ha ha..and those title already on my draft for a long time. I went to Genting Highland with my family and mother in law a day before Dong Zhi so i made some Tong Yuen for her as well..

There's not much to see in Genting nowadays and it's kinda quiet since the outdoor theme park was closed. Yup, you heard me. It's close for major overhaulin'. So it's just pretty boring and we lepak a lot inside the hotel room.

New year pass quietly this year and since almost all stuff become expensive it's just a challenging transition from past years to the new beginning. Hopefully it will be alright and prosperous for us this year.

So happy NEW YEAR even belated as it is and have a GREAT YEAR ahead ^^

Dip Dip, Hotdog & Popilla

Weekend always makes me happy. Duh..it makes everyone happy i bet. Last last weekend i went out with my bff's for a fun day at KL Festival City Mall for some Ketam Village steamboat. I just loves it's spicy-ness and everything. If you crave for good steamboat then it's the place to visit lor ^^

Last weekend they came over to my area here in Damansara and we went for The Curve. It's simple why i always choose The Curve other than One Utama. First, parking here is easy if you get here before 12 noon. There's a lot of parking and you don't have to turn and turn to get one. Secondly, there's so many place you can be, so many things you can eat and i just love street shopping which they have here as well. 'Nough said right!

So, Zura wanted to try Dip Dip..the place which you can eat something dipping in chocolate fountain. For me i'm not too thrill about it. You can just imagine how it's going to cost and i'm not a fan of wasting money on something you can get cheaper elsewhere. 

But then we need to give the craving mommy to be what she wants la..he he..the price like i thought was over the top and ridiculous. The cheapest water is Spring water ( elegant name for mineral la) Rm2.50. They don't even give me glass for that. And guess what..i ask him to take it for me. I will not let people bully me when i paid a damn Rm2.50 for a bottle of mineral water. That's for sure. Then we just order 4 in a stick ( you can choose only one fruit..yada yada yada) and marshmallow in a mug ( this was awesome cause they got crispy rice inside the chocolate).. Overall for eating that much we paid Rm30.30.. totally once in a lifetime for me. I rather go eat Haagen Daz.. 

Next we went to IKEA and while we're window shopping we ate at Popilla. Mexican wannabe food booth. The price was cheap & reasonable. We went for Taco set A which consist of 2 tacos + juice. Then add another Taco. The taste... i don't like it. It's just not tasty enough for me..Our total here was Rm15.80 for 3 people.

Then we walk again and we stop to eat hotdogs..yeah..i go for Rm 3 set which consist of mineral water + 1 hotdog. My 2 bff's took Rm 5 combo which consist of 1 hotdog + 1 curry puff + 1 ice cream + 1 water..It's actually really worth it. 

And there's our journey for that Saturday. Full stomach and full of laughter as well as fun.. 

Seoul Garden at KL Festival City Mall

On Saturday my dear asked me where i want to go for lunch since he wanted to spend me. He suggest we eat at Seoul Garden since it has been long time we didn't eat those barbecue. Since he knew i love those wrapped barbecue beef in vegie style. Since it's already lunch time so i didn't want to go to One Utama even though it's the nearest and opted for KL Festival instead. Cause i think there will be less person there. 

So we went and he pay around Rm78 something for both of us. 

The verdict : I think i'll quit going to Seoul Garden cause the quality has deteriorated a lot. I think the beef was low quality since it's hard to chew on. There also not a lot of variety. Only 2 style of marinated beef which is with curry powder i think ( i hate it) and the other one black pepper (okla). Then other stuff just chicken, prawns - normal white type, and my dear took squid. I saw some cockles and ect ect la. Melaka Seoul Garden was the best that i've been to and that was last year i think. This year don know la since they like to change kan..

Cheap Spectacles at Sungei Wang

I don't mind buying cheap stuff as long as it's worth it. My cheap spectacles which i've used almost 2 years has been a history after my mom step on it..anyway it's time already la to make new one. On Wednesday nite after work my dear and i went to Sungei Wang to do my spec.

Mine just Rm88 with my lens' power not increase pun only i got some aversion to light around 70. My lens power around 200 and another one 325. They also got Rm68 value set ( spec + lens) and Rm138 for 2 pieces of spectacles. Just choose from their display. They even got not the plastic type but i like the nerdy frame better.Another bonus is they can do your spec around 1 hour time. I think mine less than that.

So where to head for this awesome deal...

There's so many store on G Floor. Just pick one. I always do it at ...

 

Golden Palm Tree & Resort Sepang + Morib

Last weekend i had 4 days mandatory leave. Actually just one..he he..on Monday cause Tuesday a public holiday so my boss said sau kong la.. tutup kedai..so we get direct 4 days holiday. On Saturday we went for shopping, then Sunday ate with my mother in law and then going back to her house for some chit chat. After that we also went for some durians at Kepong. Yummy. Then on Monday we went to Bagan Lalang and Morib.

I never been to both place except for LCCT /KLIA and my friend's wedding around Sepang only. Bagan Lalang is like further up and kinda far away from Sepang. It's where the beach is and truthfully it's an awful beach. The seaside seems muddy and the water just kill buzz. But there got tons of activities here to entertain guest like go-kart, mini golf and ect ect.. but if you're looking for beach just go for Port Dickson lah - the nearest for KL. Even when the room are above water it's just not pretty enough to be satisfied. Beach should be where you can bath nicely - like our honeymoon to Pangkor or Port Dickson also quite nice. 

Morib well it's almost as bad as Sepang's seaside. So we just jalan-jalan makan angin jela.. 

Then yesterday afternoon we went to Cheras to meet Uncle Philip at Uncle Alan's Wantan Mee place. Overall i had a full weekend/holiday.. 

P/s : the best fruit rojak i know in front of Public Bank Kepong no more already ker..2 times we go also no trace of that guy..really disappointed ..hu hu

Wordless Wednesday!

Soft Bread - Lazy Recipe

Should post it long time already but i keep forgetting to take pictures of the outcome ( still are..ha ha)

So picture will be posted once i get my phone into the fridge.. 

Ok ...so here how it is..

Flour  - around 500g since i just empty half of the 1kg pack

Sugar - 3 tablespoon

Salt    - a pinch

Warm Water - pour bit by bit until you got soft dough ( slightly stick to your hand flour)

Cooking Oil or Corn Oil - i have tried using both and worked out ok. Around quarter/half of IKEA cup

Yeast - i use half of the 11g pack of mauripan

Actual recipe use warm milk instead of just plain water. I bet it taste even better but this just me baking with whatever i have. So, no milk at house..har har har..

1. Put FLOUR + SUGAR + SALT + YEAST in a bowl and stir a bit with knife until mix

2. Put warm water bit by bit and stir using knife until it sorts of clumping together

3. Pour oil  into the flour and start mixing using hand

4. If the flour not yet become dough then pour more warm water

5. Knead it around 5 minutes until you feel it firm then left inside the bowl with clean towel closing the bowl.

6. After 2 hours it will rise. Knead it and make shape out of it. Then left it to rise some more. Around 1 hour ke. After that you bake it for around 15-20 minutes 180 celcius.

7. Tap the bottom and hear the hollow sound to know it's cooked or not..

Attention : If your dough did not rise than maybe you water not warm enough or too warm. I don have thermometer ( no need la) so to make sure just use your hand. The water should be hot but not scalding. That's it. 

Most of the videos will ask you to first mix yeast + warm water/warm milk + sugar  first and wait for it to bubble. I tried this and my bread tak jadi ( me failed) ..so i just stick with putting all ingredients and then only water and oil. 

My advise : Try to adjust accordingly la. After 2 to 3 times you get a hold on it already. No need fancy stuff and fancy ingredients..ha ha..

Lazy Weekend

My butter cookies finished..hu hu..so sad my darling ate it all. Need to do fresh batch when i'm not lazy. I send some to my mother in law last week and looks like the comment was positive..sighhh so glad..since she's been sending us some of her cooking as well. And she actually considered me when cooking.. i'm flattered and thankful for it.

Last week she cooked Assam Squid and Prawns for us (maybe for me more..ha ha) and week before that Ayam Kampung herbal or something. Ok i totally love my mother in law but of course la i'm a shy person. Looking at me i don't think people realize i like/love them. I'm totally close up and fierce.  Ha ha.. except for people who knew me, know how soft i am..maybe this weekend we'll bring my mother in law somewhere to eat. Yums..

Last weekend i just manage to bake Vico Chocolate Cake as requested by my dear and i bake some bread as well. I've perfected my cheap and soft bread technique.  Ha ha..my last post will get you a hard bread but i manage to bake more soft type with few alterations. I'll share in the next post..
