Girls Day Out...

A day out together again with D, Kim and myself. Today we spent nearly 10 hours together starting at 10 in the morning. I went to pick D up in Subang and then we headed straight to Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Megasale just started and it was perfect time for me to find some material to make my "baju raya". Kim was at a job interview in KL as well, while the both of us were busy hopping from one store to the other. After a couple of hours, Kim joined us at Jln TAR and after we were done the 3 of us proceeded to One Utama. D was gonna look for shoes, we had to eat lunch and catch a movie after.

Had a hard time deciding where to eat and we finally came up with 3 options. It was either gonna be Secret Recipe, Nandos or Cafe Delicious. And because Kim had gone to the launch of Delicious in the new Bangsar Village II the night before, she insisted we try it out because apparently the food was really good. So we did.

Our table number 6...i like their cooling concept colors of white, beige and blue...very relaxing and the motto here is Made With Love...


The menu consists of 5 main categories which are breakfast, all-day dining, afternoon tea, drinks and desserts. We were suppose to get desserts after because they look really yummy but ended not because we were just so stuffed after eating our meals...But i personally will definately go back to try their desserts...just look at it.



NEED I SAY MORE... :) So anyway back to our lunch.


I had the Thai Beef Salad (RM21.90). It comes in a huge portion of medium-rare pan-seared steak with mango salad. Well balanced taste of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Refreshing and filling.


Kim had their Homemade Pesto Spaghettini (RM14.90) with added chargrilled chicken (RM4.90). Again with the huge portion and pesto was good. I tried some and loved it.


D had Carbonara Spaghettini (RM17.90). It is cooked with wild mushrooms, beef bacon, oregano and cream. Very generous with the bacon as you can see but according to D since she's a 'carbonara expert' that she prefers the one at Pizza Uno compared to here.

Overall, good ambience, good service and good food. Will definately be coming back for more!

When desperate and lazy...

One of those days again when i'm home alone and ever so lazy to go out just to buy food for one or cook. Opened the cupboard and i found this! So apa lagi...hentam je laaa.

I'm not really a fan of instant food BUT just tried it anyway cause it's so simple. Basically all you need is this:

Some milk and butter and that packet is the cheese sauce that comes together in the box. Just boil some water and toss in the macaroni. Wait for 5-10 minutes or until it is cooked and then drain. Toss back into the pan and return to heat and then add the cheese, butter and milk. Stir till all are incorporated and then tadaa!

Mac & Cheese... on a scale of 10 i'll give it a 5 la...because it was edible and taste was just okay. I only ate 1/4 and was done with it already. Kept the rest for family when later i added some chicken meat and more cheese sauce. (from the huge can i brought back from sabah remember?) heheheee...

Strawberry Fields Cafe

This is a makan-makan place you will have to go either with family or friends. It's relaxed, has a wide variety of food choices from local to western and it's affordable. So far i have only heard of this place in two locations, 1 in Taipan USJ and one more in PJ town.

One night, miss indu, kim and i decided to have dinner in the PJ branch cause it's nearer to where we lived and also it was a very sudden decision to go there. Was because we were coming from Midvalley Megamall and federal highway was just across the road.

You will find that it takes awhile to decide what to eat because they have like 100+++ over choices. Their most popular dish however is anything with butter cream. They have butter cream pasta, chicken, rice, fish...you name it...just the sound of butter cream....mmmmmmmm and their trademark is they add curry leaves to the butter cream dish for flavour instead of using western herbs/leaves.

Therefore, indu took the butter cream spaghetti with chicken. Very very nice. It shows why it is their most popular dish there.

Kim had nasi lemak. Comes with a fried egg instead of hard boil which is good for her cause she went on and on by saying how much she wants "telor mata". Very generous with the peanuts and anchovies. Comes with a piece of chicken rendang.

And i had tomyam fried kuey teow. It wasn't as spicy as i thought it would be. Maybe i should have asked for extra spicey. To me it tasted like a good char kuey teow penang style, not so much of thai tomyam. But indu and kim had a taste of it and they said there is like a teeny bit of thai flavour so i guess there is. Maybe my tastebuds were on holiday that day.

Overall, the portions here are hugantic...none of us finished our food. We went like 3/4 way and could faint already. (note that we are fairly good eaters)
Satisfying, reasonable, nice atmosphere and many choices. Will definately be back to try more!

Girls Night Out...

Couple of months back miss D, miss Kim and I decided to meet up for dinner, dessert and movie at D's place in USJ Subang. Yup just us girls...

By evening we were all gathered in D's house when we decided to try out Pizza Uno for the makan-makan and maybe later to have gelato at Leo's. D's mum was gonna be home alone so we insisted that she tagged along...after all IT IS girls night out. :)

So basically Pizza Uno and Leo's are both located in Taipan, which is like 5 minutes drive away from D's humble abode. So yay!!!

About Pizza Uno...
Pizza Uno started as Pizza Italia in USJ in 1997. After 18 months, the 2nd outlet was opened in Kuala Lumpur. Now there are total of 3 outlets in Klang Valley. (USJ Taipan, Centrepoint Bandar Utama, Bandar Puteri Puchong)
Their wide spread menu includes antipasto, tapas, soups, salads, breads, pasta, lasagna, paella, pizza, desserts and beverages.


First picture is miss D's fettucini carbonara with lightly fried beef bacon and onion in a delicious creamy sauce, which she claimed was superb. (it's her 2nd time there and well erm...2nd time having carbonara so go figure) I tried a mouthful and it is really good. Next up is miss Kim's garlic prawn spaghetti. I can't really recall what she had said about it but she did finish it so it must have been good. I had the fettucini con salmone, it's cooked in creamy sauce with a good portion of pieces of smoked salmon. I loved it of course knowing how much i looooove salmon. :) D's mum had the deep fried chicken which came sooo much later than our pastas therefore i was busy diggin into my food that i forgot to snap a picture of that. booo....

next...dessert!!!


About Leo's
Leo's, a trendy cafe, the place to see and be seen (as said by them) offers an innovative and creative selection menu for the current food trend, coffee, pastry and in-house made gelato....mmmmmm Gelato = Italian Ice-cream
Currently Leo's has 4 outlets. (The Store in Bandar Baru Sri Petaling, Carrefour Kepong, Bukit Tinggi, Taipan USJ)
They are specialized in 3 main areas which are Leo's Gelato, Leo's Coffee and Leo's Bakery. Yes they have everything including menu with noodle, rice, western gourmet, soups, light snacks and a long list of groovy drinks which you will not be able to remember the name.


All of us decided to share a 'gang of 5' gelato where you pick five flavours of gelato of your choice and then it is served with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and sprinkles of nuts. There wasn't much flavours available that particular night so we had to make do with what they had which wasn't so bad lah actually....we got a scoop of lime, wafer, after 8 mint, vanilla and hazelnut. We also shared 2 drinks amongst us four. Had a hard time deciding as the names of the drinks made in confusing for us. Ended up with a 'The Glory Of Gold Cup' and a 'Over The Great Crown'. You must be wondering what the heck is that? Well the first one consist of mango, mixed fruits and crystal lychee while the latter is the same just substitute the mango with sea coconut. There were loads more of funky drinks such as 'The Phoenix Crown', Beauty Of The Century', 'Love Overflow', 'Black Temptation', 'Hard To Resist'.....and many many many more. Don't ask me what they all are cause i can't remember. I guess there's a reason to go back there then.

Land Below the Wind III

I'll just make this post very short and simple. We had lunch in an italian restaurant called Little Italy. It is owned by an italian chef and has had quite alot of good reviews on the food. I don't think there's any other outlets available throughout malaysia as i have never heard or seen one other than the one here in KK.


Sorry for the blurry photos as my camera phone isn't able to take close up...:( This is what i had. If i'm not mistaken the italian name for it is called Gamberi. I hope i got that right. It's spinach fettucini stir fried with a little garlic, chilli, olive oil and prawns. It's a very light and satisfying dish and the portion was reasonably good.


My aunt had the usual beef lasagna. Basically it's nicely done, tasty, just the right amount of meat, sauce and cheese.


Last but not least the pizza my bro had. I forgot the name of it but it's one of thier specialty as the beef sausage is homemade and the pizzas are cooked in those wood ovens. As usual the classic italian pizzas are thin crusted. I must say this particular pizza is really nice and it's something different giving credit to the beef sausages which look more like beef balls. I'm guessing they pinch of pieces of the sausage to create this chunky bite sizes. Yummy!
