More healthy ice treats - J.Co Donuts and Coffee

I actually was looking for YogurBerry outlet at Kota Damansara' Giant but found J.Co instead, another big donuts name in Malaysia. But unlike Big Apple and Krispy Cream, J.Co offered an additional bonus, a healthy choice of frozen yogurt.



I had my J.Cool yogurt with toppings of fresh strawberry, juicy orange slice, roasted almonds, chocolate chips and wafer. It's a "couple size" with 3 toppings + 2 extra for an extra charge of RM2 each. RM 15... Like I said before, being healthy sure is expensive...

All their tables have description of their coffee ^_^

Kiku Zakura @ Tropicana City Mall, Damansara

Today is pay day ^_^ I always celebrate my pay day with food. Today I was craving for Japanese food so here we go.

Today's spotlight shines on Kiku Zakura at Tropicana City Mall, Damansara. I've read somewhere on the Net that the place serve a pretty good Japanese fare so here I am. On their menu too was inscribed that they boast a wide range of authentic + fusion Japanese cuisine to satisfy the local Japanese food lovers.

Tatami seating. A very nice ambient.

Bamboos hanging at the entrance, and also waterfall greeting at the entrance.

My cutlery and green tea. Jobless picture.

Gyouza! Filled with succulent prawn and crispy radish, accompanied with sourish dipping.

Tori Asparagus -- just chicken wrapped around asparagus. Be generous with the lemon, or else it'll taste kinda bland, except for the sweet and crunchy asparagus. Best eaten hot.

Yaki Onigiri. It's a tad dry though.

Inari sushi and unagi. The inari is filled with rice mixed with sweet pickle and tamago bits, making it a nice sweet concoction. The Unagi is caramalized wonderfully, and slightly crisped.

Of course, a dessert of macha ice cream with banana and avocado. The macha needs to be tuned up a bit more though, as the taste is barely there.




For the whole meal, it costs us RM 117.20. But service and food are pretty good, the waiteresses were very attentive; I've never drink so much of green tea before as compared to other Japanese restaurant... Plus there are still lots of things that I have not tried, the menu is just way to extensive...


So I guess there will be a next time ^_^.




Note: 
- status: serve no pork.
- pricing: starts at RM 10 to RM 100 +

Healthy frozen delight - Tutti Frutti


I'm officially on a healthier diet, maybe. Did I just say that? OK, I'm just trying to get over the craving to eat pure, creamy ice cream so in replacement of that, the answer would be yogurt ice cream @ frozen yogurt or whatever it is. My pit stop; Tutti Frutti outlet in Tropicana City Mall, Damansara.

A cup of original flavour + kiwi flavour doused with chocolate chip, raisins, oreo cookie powder, strawberry and peach slice! This cost me RM 20!! The price for being healthy sure is high...

The benefits of eating yogurt...

My New Year @ Swiss Garden Hotel & Spa, Kuantan

While others splashed around at the beach despite the monsoon tide, I decided to spend my 1st day of 2011 in the Samsara Spa @ the Swiss Garden Hotel & Spa, Kuantan, Pahang. Why else should I do otherwise when I'm in a hotel with spa fascility?

Set in a traditional Balinese environment with lolling background song, dim lighting, spice - infused air... To tell the truth, I was half - asleep most of the time minus except during the Balinese massage. Nevertheless, the Samsara Royale package was worth my RM 280. The package consists of a body scrub made from spices, a  Balinese massage (mild but still lots of kneading) and a soak.


My chamber

Happy (Belated) New Year!

My resolution list would be ...

  1. to exercise more
  2. to eat more nice food
  3. to compensate the eating with dieting
  4. to travel more
  5. to work harder and earn more money to travel
  6. to spend less on clothes
  7. to spend less on shoes
  8. to keep my car in good shape
  9. to keep myself in good shape
  10. to blog more

... I think I'll stop here since I'll be likely to break more than fullfill...

And OMG! It's already 4 years since I started this blog... Crap, I'm getting older...


Happy New Year everyone! May a great year lies ahead!
