End of 2012, Shopping, Fashion :D

It's the last day of 2012 people!!!

What did you do today?

I bet most of you are spending time with your families today,

having dinner,

playing with fireworks :3

I, went shopping with ze mum :D

Was in Uniqlo most of the time.. so yea la xD

Here's a knitted top,

but I didn't buy it cause I couldn't afford it :(

Bought this coordinate.

Ultra stretch Skinny Jeans and a knit top

I don't have to wear it like this only,

Jeans are OBVIOUSLY versatile

So is the top :P

Wore it with my flare skirt pants that I got from Kenanga Mall :)

Hairband is from Bonita 

So how did you spend the last day of 2012?

:D

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

Restoran Tak Fok @ Taman Desa

Right,

so guess where we're eating?

:D

Tak Fok at Taman Desa!

Their menu didn't have their restaurant name on it so I just took a picture of the crab dishes

cause their specialty is CRAB.

I know, it's a dream come true~

But somehow, 

everytime we go and eat at Tak Fok, it rains. REAL HEAVY Dx

God, you just want to ruin it is it?? 

So anyway, 

we had to sit outside since all the tables indoors were reserved

plus it's more cooling outside.

Had lots of seafood (love)

and probably also grew fatter T.T

That is fried squid :D

Then we had CRAB!!

Yum yum yum!

I think this was supposed to be butter crab or something,

but the sauce tasted like pasta sauce ._.

But it's still edible with man tao :D

Had lala soup.

This was my first time trying, 

cause I have this skin condition that doesn't allow me to have seafood T.T

but I just paid a visit to a skin specialist, 

it's healing so I can finally eat! :D

I can't really make a remark on it cause it was my first time ><

And also since we were "celebrating" uncle Princeton's birthday,

it's a family tradition that we have noodles :D

I think it's a Chinese culture but it sure is my family's.

This is Curry Prawn :D

DELICIOUS but then I say all prawns are delicious :P

and the last dish,

SOFT SHELL CRAB.

This I really recommend to have as a snack or something, 

cause it's a good snack :P

The service, 

I would say it's not TOO bad, 

but it isn't very very great either because they are usually very busy as the restaurant is usually filled :/

If you really want to secure yourself a table, 

I'd suggest you make a reservation :D

Otherwise, just show up REAL early :)

and the pricing is also quite reasonable :D

btw, THEY SERVE LOBSTER TOO! :D

Here's where they're located:

Restoran Tak Fok

No.26a, 

Jalan Desa Jaya, 

Taman Desa (Faber Plaza), 

WP Kuala Lumpur,

The Han Room @ The Gardens Mall

Sorry for the late post!

Was busy so I couldn't,

until now :D

So yeah,

with dad and lil' sis,

we decided to have brunch at the Han's Room at The Gardens Mall

I know it seems as if I keep going to Mid Valley/The Gardens,

it's true hahah

It's like my second home! :D

So before our orders came,

we were served this as.. I don't know.. appetizers?

We were hoping to get the boiled/steamed groundnuts/peanuts

but sadly no :(

This was still delicious and addictive though! 

We ordered roast pork aka siew yok

because it's actually a family favourite, 

and this one specially melts in your mouth!

Also some egg tarts :D

Cute things, and also good to it!

Though it requires gentleness when handling the tart as it is quite delicate 

My favourite seafood,

PRAWN

Had a salad prawn or deep fried prawn :D

Dim sum is usually never perfect without char siew bao aka BBQ pork steamed bun!

This was a little too sweet for me as I usually prefer the traditionally made ones

p/s: The taste and texture of this bao is very different from the ones you find at normal coffee shops

This is fried radish cake or zha lo bak you

Its a little spicy so beware ;)

It's still nice though for people who can't handle spicy,

be a little careful :)

Ahhh, siew mai,

one of the most common dim sum dishes,

to my family anyway ><

but I observed that a lot of people usually order this as well :P

and finally, 

chee cheong fun!

Hong Kong style as dim sum is usually eaten in Hong Kong!

(correct me if I'm wrong)

This was the dish that managed to fill our tummy's enough to last the day :D

Until dinner that is B)

Service was good,

Food was good,

Tea was good,

Price was "pretty",

but once in a while,

it's recommended to visit! 

:D

Here's where they're at!

The Han Room

Lot G243,G246 &G247,
Ground Floor,
The Gardens Mall,
Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 KL. 

That is all for today!

Till next time! :D

Flying Chillies @ The Gardens Mall

In all my food escapades,

I finally managed to try one of the restaurants I've always wanted to try

Yeap, Flying Chillies at The Gardens :)

I've been to The Gardens so many times, 

but I never did try this restaurant cause I was afraid the dishes would be too spicy :X

But I did it this time! 

With mom of course xD

We sat down, ordered and waited

Hence, the picture

We ordered Tomyam Goong

To us, its a MUST have in every Thai meal

and yes, this was VERY VERY SPICY

I can taste the chilli itself from the first spoon I drank.

Well, the taste mostly consists of chilli in my opinion @.@

Then of course, Green Curry :)

It's curry, just green in colour

This was not as spicy as the Tomyam and was quite delicious too!

To cool our tastebuds, we ordered Stir-fried Beancurd with Prawn and Mushrooms

This really really helped

The gravy was good and this was overall the best out of the three we ordered

We then ordered some Tab Tim Krob/Red Ruby after that,

and this was NOT satisfying :/

The nangka fruit tasted frozen,

the ice chunks were too big thus diluting the dessert

The water chestnuts were fine

but the coconut milk is obviously powder

and it is VERY clearly seen

Used a macro on the Lumix,

it's visible enough I hope

Not what I was expecting :| at all

I don't know about the other desserts, 

but I know I am not ordering it again.

Overall, 

it was not very satisfactory

:/

Useless Rant

Star Cafe @ Taman Desa :D

Why la I eat so much now~

LOL

Merry Christmas everyone!

How did you spend it? :D

I spent it with ze family eating at Star Cafe at Taman Desa

Their menu :)

I've been there once before this, 

but apparently they change their menu pretty often so you will always find something new every time! 

I ordered a mixture of tomato+apple+carrot

:D

Had an aglio-oglio 

This aglio-olio was on the spicy side,

just a heads up :D

Ordered a carrot cake, apple crumble and chocolate cake with ice-cream

I can say that their food is very very fresh :D

and lil bro ordered their beef wellington

and their pastry is very fresh :)

I LOVED IT! XDXD

Would totally return there :)

Those interested,

Kingyo @ Life Centre

I've been posting a lot of food posts lately,

cause I have been eating a lot of GOOD food 

So yeah, 

this is another food post :3

Hope you get hungry after this xD

Had a meal at Kingyo in Life Centre! :D

Took a picture of the menu cause I was a lazy blogger to take a picture of the signboard :x

While waiting for food,

decided to add shoyu first 

so excited! :D

The california roll! 

OMAIGAWD seriously, the roe/fish eggs were DELICIOUS!

It was really fresh!

Yum yum yum!!!

Dad ordered the set meal

He was the only one cause the rest of us had a very heavy lunch

This was his appetiser!

From left: Salmon, quail egg, mushroom wrapped in beef

I don't know the food terms for these but they sure tasted delicious! xD

One of his temaki's

I didn't get to try this one :(

Can you believe that this is actually miso soup in the pot?

You add the lemon into the miso(optional)

and you pour it out and drink it from the tiny bowl provided :33

For some reason, at ANY Japanese restaurant, 

I HAVE to try their chawanmushi

This was theirs xD

It was good though for people who prefer chawanmushi that tastes really salty,

don't eat this one ><

On my tastebuds, they taste awesome :D

This is my sister's Yaki Gyuniku Don aka Grilled Beef Rice Bowl

It's really good and it was something new

a bit peppery for my taste but I'd still eat more :D

I don't know what this was, 

but I know that this came with the set

Its some vegetable in sesame sauce

it was new, and I really recommend people to try it! :D

This was my dad's HUGE PRAWN 

I love prawn so you can kinda guess what I'm about to say

DELICIOUS

White tuna and salmon sashimi :D

Watching one of the chefs making food and performing at the same time 

xD

This is.. I dunno what fried rice

Not recommended for people who likes a lot of salt 

AND ONE OF THE BEST DESSERTS I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE

PANCAKE ICE-CREAM!

With beetroot sauce and berries

It was the first time I've HEARD and tried it

and I wanna eat it again :3

No words can describe how much I love this dessert ><

Right, 

I know there weren't much of a help except the fact that you've probably read the word "delicious"

like a hundred times LOL

But it's really good and I assure Japanese food lovers,

you'll love it! 

I hope ._.

btw, the downside is that the prices are VERY "pretty"

don't say I didn't warn you! :D

Hahaha, 

there are plenty more food posts coming!

Hope you got hungry :P

Here's the address of Kingyo:
