Merdeka Sandwich (Old Story)

I found these photos in my folder. It was my meal at Halla Holla back in August 2025.

On Chicken Rice, Damansara Jaya (Menu)

When I walked past Halla Holla yesterday morning, I saw that their neighbor, On Chicken Rice has opened for business.

Woodfire KL, TTDI

Last Saturday, my brother and I ventured out to nearby Taman Tun Dr Ismail for lunch at Woodfire KL.

Datenite @ Tonkatsu by Ma Maison, 1 Utama

Last week, my partner and I went to 1 Utama for our datenite.

No More Hoot

Today I had lunch at Halla Holla after visiting my mum.

Merry Christmas Lunch

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing holiday although I am aware that some of you have to work.

Tasty Tuna Toastie

This post is my lunch from April 2025. It was my last visit to Toastiful to eat their fantastic toasties. 

Neighborhood Roses

Last week when I passed by this house on my way back to DU, I saw a rose plant with rose buds but they did not look fresh and appeared unlikely to bloom.

It's Been A Year

Actually it has been more than a year now since TuTu passed.

I Was Naughty On Cheat Day

It was an epic cheat day. And when I say epic, I mean EPIC. It was after all (back in August) Merdeka Month, a time to celebrate, no?

Thursday Makan

Thursday I had breakfast at Halla Holla. It was a busy day, so I thought why not eat early so that I can save time by skipping lunch.

Genmaicha Souffle

I have not been to Soylab in a long time and it was my curiosity about their latest Genmaicha inspired desserts that prompted this visit.

Gu On Set Lunch

I love set lunches in particular ones that are served in a tray. 

Rain Rain Go Away

Does anyone (old enough) remember this children's song that goes "rain rain go away, come again another day, rain rain go away, little Johnny wants to play".

My Sunday Feast

Last Saturday I closed my eating window at 4:00pm. 

A Festive Roast

I walked past Dave's Deli, The Starling when I saw their Festive Roast promotion.

BBQ For Two @ Gu On, The Starling

After visiting Gu On, The Starling with my partner (where we did not have BBQ), I revisited with my brother.

Thursday Public Holiday

Yesterday was a public holiday, the birthday of the Sultan of Selangor. Daulat Tuanku!

I Am A Food Addict

I still enjoy pastries from time to time even though I am largely on a meat based (carnivore/keto-carnivore) way of eating.

Oink Roll On A Datenite

Before we get into datenite this was my lunch.

I LOVE Toast

We all love toast don't we? Well, at least I do. Toast with kaya and butter ooooohhhh......

Last Sunday

Sunday found me at the office for something not work related.

Luckin Coffee, Damansara Utama

I have been wanting to visit Luckin Coffee to have a taste of their Butter Americano.

What I Ate At Home

I hardly post photos of my homecooked meals for very obvious reasons.

Crispy Chicken Donburi

I went to Hartton Kitchen again. 

Planting Flowers

I did mention that I attempted planting flowers (from seeds) in my garden.

Indulging In A Christmas Special

Every festive season Halla Holla curates something for the celebrations.

A Bountiful Lunch Date

After my solo visit to Bountiful for a bountiful lunch (hah..hah..), I visited again with my partner for a lunch date.

Christmas At The Starling

The Christmas decorations at The Starling are up.

Jang Jang Rice, Damansara Utama

Another high end chap fan outlet with a catchy name has opened in Damansara Utama - Jang Jang Rice.

Fun Fun Mix Rice, Damansara Utama

This shoplot was previously occupied by Kean Seng Kopitiam which vacated back in August 2024.

Datenite @ The Charcoal Grill

My partner and I had a datenite at The Charcoal Grill a few weeks ago but I forgot to take a photo of our dinner. LOL!

This Little Kittie

One morning (last week) when I arrived at the office, the soft mewing of a kitten caught my attention.

Bountiful, Damansara Utama

A new eatery, Bountiful, opened some two weeks ago.

Uptown Eats (Uptown 7)

The renovation works at the Uptown 7 carpark is completed.

Rainy Day Uninspiring Lunch

Yesterday morning it rained cats and dogs. 

Double Toast

When I eat carbs, I plan it in such a way that I have movement after the meal.

This SHIP Should Have Sailed A Long Time Ago

I don't know why I was drawn to revisit. Perhaps for the final goodbye.

The Charcoal Grill, Damansara Uptown

In my previous post I mentioned that I wanted to eat Pork Fajitas but my plan was foiled by heavy evening rain. 

Taking A Break From Sandwiches

I have been enjoying sandwiches at Halla Holla and the sourdough delights have not made any negative impact to my health or weight.

Datenite at Gu On, The Starling

Finally, Gu On at The Starling is open. I had been stalking this space since September 2025.

I Bumped Into A Chicken

The other day, on my way to the pet food shop, I spotted a chicken.

Frangipani

The Frangipani tress at The Starling's "secret garden" have not been flowering. I think it might be because of the hot weather. 

Datenite : Pork and Chicken Chop

It was datenite but before that, I had Sandwich of the Day for lunch.

11.11

I had just delivered lunch and newspaper to mum and as I made my way down the road, there was a big truck trying to park outside one of the houses.

The Most Glorious Big Breakfast

I was snooping around the bazaar at The Starling when I thought about having the Really Big Breakfast at Red Kettle.

Reclaiming My Saturdays

Since 2023 when my parents moved here due to my late dad's deteriorating health, my Saturdays have been occupied.

Not Worth The Trouble

Crispy chicken skin. Is it worth it to make a bunch at home?

Hartton Kitchen. Damansara Uptown

The first time I visited Hartton Kitchen was back in 2020. 

Brunch : Chicken Tartine

The Rustic Grill, Damansara Uptown, is now serving their Weekend Brunch Menu on weekdays.
