My Favorite Cakes

Let's see, when was the last time I baked? Oh dear. I don't remember. Ironic isn't it? I started this blog to document my baking journey (and mainly to help me get out of depression) and now I have stopped baking. Tsk!

Christmas Lunch/Dinner : Eat What?

Anybody having family/friends over for Christmas lunch or dinner? You know, I like going to other people's house to eat other people's food. Because other people's food always taste better hah..hah..hah...

Christmas and Chinese New Year are Coming : What Are You Baking?

It's that time of year again. Christmas will be upon us in about 2 week's time. And next year, Chinese New Year comes early, 25 January 2020. So fast, right? 

What Have I Been Eating? Nasi Kandar!

Sien punya sien, still wanna blog wahahahaha! There were some photos in my phone, so I better put them out before end of the year. Or else you will be reading what I ate last year.

End of the Year Blues

So sien lah. It's almost the end of the year and it is now the school holidays. But no holiday for me. Bah!

I Love My Cat

You know, in the past I never really gave cats much of a thought. The only time I take issue with them is when they poop in my garden. That annoyed me to no end.

Ayam Gepuk Berempah Damansara Uptown : Pedas Bagai Nak Pengsan! (CLOSED)

It looks like another eatery has opened in Damansara Uptown. Ayam Gepuk Berempah. Ah, this is the sort of restaurant that gets me excited. I love Malay food!

Monga Fried Chicken, Damansara Uptown

A few restaurants/shops along Jalan SS 21/39 Damansara Utama (Uptown) have closed down and no sooner than a shop lot is vacated, another fills the vacancy and springs into action.

Canned Food Delights : Chili Tuna Pasta and More

Do you eat canned food? When Kris blogged about canned food, it made me think of the canned food I had been  eating occasionally (ahem!) and in the past.

Kyochon, SS2

Last weekend my brother and I had a lunch date. We had a mission to accomplish at SS2 - pet shop! Well, that would be a story for another day.

Big Bowl Rice At A Noodle Place

Between rice and noodles, I prefer rice. So the next time I visited Good Pick Noodles (CLOSED), I went for the Big Bowl Rice. And oh my, the portion of rice is really BIG.

Food at Training and Seminars

Every time when we attend training, my brother and I like to exchange information about the buffet. The food at such and such a place is good or the buffet at such and such a place is just like chap fan. 

To Marco Again

This dinner date with my brother happened many months ago. This I believe was our third visit to Marco@1 Utama after celebrating his birthday there twice.

My Cat My Buddy

Ever since I let my cat into the house, I am more accepting of her messing around inside. In fact we have some nice times together during the weekends.

Seafood Dynasty@The Starling (CLOSED)

Just as restaurants come and go around Damansara Uptown, the same also applies to restaurants at The Starling mall. A few restaurants have called it a day namely Bonfire, Vine, Kory and a few others at the foodcourt.

Banana Oat Cookies (No Flour)

Do you think these are edible? I mean, are they nice to eat? I have seen recipes that use only three ingredients and others use more.

Tomo Ramen Bar, Damansara Uptown

Testament to how much I love ramen, I wasted no time in visiting this week-old Tomo Ramen Bar in my neighborhood. I run errands all the time (and sometimes I main ular, I'm the boss so it is OK) and I do my rounds, surveying the ins and outs of Damansara Uptown heh...heh...

Good Pick Noodles@Damansara Uptown (CLOSED)

It looks like a new noodle shop has opened in Damansara Uptown. I had no idea until a restaurant staff greeted me outside the shop when I passed by. Since I had already had lunch, I told him I would come back another day.

I Love ................

Unagi, Salmon or Soft Shell Crab? I went back to Fujisawa Izakaya@Damansara Uptown for the set lunch.

I Have A Thing For Burgers

The first burger I ever ate was a Big Mac at McDonald's@Section 14, Petaling Jaya. That was on the last day of my SPM exam. When was that, eh? My God, so long ago hah..hah... 1983! (I actually checked my SPM certificate to confirm the year).

Fried Udon

The first time I had udon, I was not impressed. Ever since then, I never eat udon. So how did I end up cooking fried udon?

Dahmakan Made Me Lazy : Part 4 and Final

I started ordering less and less from Dahmakan because I got tired of the meals and I was not happy with the quality and consistency of the food.

Nando's@The Starling : Surprisingly Good

Nando's opened recently at The Starling and I bet Nando's fans in Damansara Uptown are rejoicing. Me? I was indifferent. 

Chargrilled Vegetables

Recently I visited Nando's at The Starling. One of the sides that I selected to go with my 1/4 peri peri chicken was chargrilled vegetables.

Misery Thy Name is Satay@Sate Kajang Hj Samuri Damansara Uptown

I had another outing with my Auntie. After fulfilling her chicken rice fix, Auntie wanted satay next. Fortunately for me, there is a Sate Kajang Hj Samuri@Damansara Uptown which is very convenient.

The Burg, Nuromen Damansara Uptown (CLOSED)

When I read about The Burg@Damansara Uptown on Sean's blog, I was like, bah! because the opening hours were 6:00 pm to 12:00 am. Not a convenient time for me. Why?

Lunch with My Auntie at Seng Kee Chicken Rice@Damansara Uptown

My auntie is back! Yes, my auntie. The one who grows beautiful roses and is a good cook. When I asked her what she wanted to eat, she said chicken rice!

Spade's Burger, Damansara Uptown

It was a Tuesday afternoon when I went out for dinner. These days I eat early. Except for Fridays or Saturdays.

Rice Cooker Savory Rice

Or in other words, this is another of my lazy food prep strategies. This is the one that is dumped and cooked in my trusty rice cooker. And what come out is so super delicious heh...heh...

Coffee and Cakes, Anyone?

After having had a session of coffee and cake on my birthday, I thought it might be a nice thing to do once a week. Hah!

Lazy Food Prep : Mini Meatloaves

Every weekend, I do food prep for my partner. I admit, sometimes I do feel a tinge of laziness and wished that I did not have to cook for him.

Sekinchan Catch, Damansara Uptown

First and foremost, I know that will be getting a telling off by many of you when you see what my partner and I ordered at Sekinchan Catch. 

Late Dinner, Early Dinner

One Saturday my partner had to work late. So we ended up going for dinner at 9:30pm. Where to go at that hour? 

Fujisawa Izakaya, Damansara Uptown

Uiks! Japanese food again! This is the Fujisawa Izakaya located outside The Starling. I was here once before with my partner for dinner. I had always wanted to visit for lunch.

If He Doesn't Want to Take You There, Go There Yourself

Ah hah! This is another restaurant that my partner does not want to visit on account of the not-so-good-service the last time we were there more than a year ago.

I Miss You Ah Boy

There was a time when this shy boy tagged along with my Ah Girl to visit my house. He was the timid one, running away from me every time I approached him.

Kimchi Fried Pasta

What's that I hear? No thank you? OK. OK. I hear you. Many of my readers are not fans of kimchi. You guys wouldn't come anywhere near kimchi.

House of Pok, 1 Utama

Aiyo! So busy lah myself! Until like cannot breathe like that. Publish post also, publish after lunch punya kih...kih...kih... 

Porkie Delights at Judy's@The Starling (CLOSED)

Hey there! Sorry for the unscheduled absence yesterday. I was in KL and had to leave the house early in the morning. Even then, the traffic was awful. Well, those of you who work in KL know what it is like.

Char Koay Teow@Home

I had a bit of fun in the kitchen the other day. I pretended that I was frying Penang Char Koay Teow. What a laugh!

Korean Lunch Set

The last time I was at Qing He Gu@Damansara Uptown for the affordable lunch sets was back in 2018 when I found that the restaurant was very generous with their side dishes.

Brunch@The Good Batch

My brother dropped by my office one day and since I did not have any plans for lunch, we went out for brunch. It wasn't quite 11:00 am and some restaurants like Rakuzen and Mr Tuk Tuk were not opened yet as they serve lunch at 11:30 am.

Lim Fried Chicken, The Starling

The first time I had Lim Fried Chicken (LFC), I thought the chicken was all right, not bad but not great either. At that time, I had it with chee cheong fun. Then I never went back.

Girl. Don't Give Mummy Nervous Breakdown.

Haiz....my cat.... I love her to bits. Yah, I know. I used to hate cats. Any cat that dared trespass into my garden would be chased away.

Random Makan Makan

These days I am enjoying the freedom to eat. No more carbohydrate restriction which I used to impose on myself. 

Tired of Outside Food? Food Prep!

I finally got tired of food delivery and the food around my office. Convenient as it was, I soon longed for some good old home cooked food.

Brunch@Sri Paandi (PJ)

A day after my birthday, my brother took me to Restoran Sri Paandi (PJ) for brunch. We already had an early celebration and this was my el cheapo treat. 

It's My Birthday! 52 and One Step Closer To......

....heaven's door or the gates of hell? Eh, we don't want to talk about that destination lah. Live each day the best that I can. Actually I am thinking more along the lines of one step closer to....senior citizen status!

Dahmakan Made Me Lazy : Part 3

Well, actually I am not quite so lazy now (I started meal prepping again) after having had many Dahmakan meals. After a while, I got tired of the food.

Don't Be Late For a Dinner Date

Generally speaking, I am not very keen on dinner dates during weekdays. Even on Fridays (except with my lahling lah). Why? Because I am boring as hell and prefer to go home and sleep after a tiring day at the office.
