Senjyu re - visited @ The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

 Been some time since I last visited Senjyu for lunch and as usual the place never disappoint me. Ambiance and service are impeccable as always, portion is good with nice presentation, that's why I keep coming back here whenever I have the chance.

Coffee break and a little bit of something @ Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Subang Parade

Is there anyone out there who do not know Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf? I don't think so. Nice coffee, nice ambiance, excellent place for hanging out and gossips. Or in my case, free Wifi and surfing and giggling over it. This is their outlet in Subang Parade, Subang Jaya.

Coffee break @ Austin Chase, Plaza Shah Alam

Another new outlet opens at the recently closed down Old Time White Coffee spot. But how long will this one last is an interesting question. Sure, there's always a fad for new things and places in Shah Alam, but if you are too pricey and offers nothing much, you wont last long. So dear Austin Chase, I hope you last long enough for me to try a few stuffs on your menu.

Ikea Flower Therapy :D

I am a sucker for these kinda stuffs :D  And I just love window shopping at Ikea, it's some sort of retail therapy after a stressful week. The thing with Ikea is when you go in and browse all the furnished sections, you'll come out sighing and dreaming on what kinda house and money you'll wanna make :D It's some sort of motivation to me.

Tea break @ The Teapot Deli, SACC, Shah Alam

 After a round of shopping and before the next one, we had a break to let our poor legs rest. Looking for a nice baju kurung is not an easy job, mind you. SACC is a good place to look for nice and fancy frills, though price can be on the high side. It's known that some celebrities and mak datin come here to shop at the boutiques. But at least you know that not everyone in Shah Alam will be wearing the same thing as yours.

And so we end up in the Teapot Deli.

Simple grub @ Gino, Ara Damansara

It's one of those days when we crave for simple Italian grubs for lunch where nothing is too complicated and everything feels familiar... Again, Gino at Ara Damansara. And goodness me, now the waiters have known all of our faces :D

Tapa @ La Bodega, Bangsar Shopping Centre

Tapas, or appetizers, make good accompaniment to gossips and catching up. Add in some Spanish music to spice up the ambiance, you can go on chatting with your besties till the sun goes down. Welcome to La Bodega tapas y vinos @ Bangsar Shopping Centre

Olio Olio delight @ Gino's Recipe, Ara Damansara

It seems that we can never get tired of this place :D From time to time when we are looking for great, non - syubhah halal pork - free Italian food, Gino here in Ara Damansara is where we head to. Of course, there's one in Kepong Village too but that is when we catch up with the latest movie.

Indian & Western fusion @ Chelllas, Sungai Buloh

Not your usual Indian food restaurant, I may say since there are some Western food and fusion thrown in here. Location wise, is a bit hidden and need a lot of knowledge on Sungai buloh geography to discover this place. A big thankee to my pal for bringing me here :D

Your contemporary Italian food at D' italiane kitchen @ Sunway Giza, Damansara

 This place is located in Sunway Giza where I always do my manicure. After all the dainty works on my nail, a scrumptious lunch and continuing gossip are a good finish :D

Tea break @ Sri Hainan kopitiam, Shah Alam

It's not often that I eat out in my own hometown since I'm forever working somewhere else other than my own place, but I can say that Shah Alam has its own perks with good food and places to chill out. Until recently did I have the chance to visit this long established kopitiam, Sri Hainan in Section 9.

First thing that I noticed are the bird cages used as part of their deco in the ceiling, antique - looking fans aside. Rustic, eh? :D

A taste of Middle East @ Sahara Tent, Shah Alam Mall

 Who would have thought that this Middle East diner actually originated from New Zealand??? Voted as one of the best of such diner in Malaysia by Tourism Malaysia itself, the diner first give our KL -  ites a taste of its Bedouin ambiance and of course, Arabic food.

Upbeat mamak food @ Uncle K Kopitiam, SACC Shah Alam

Uncle K @ SACC is a good chill - out  place if you are looking for air - conditioned mamak - cum - kopitiam kinda place. They serve nasi kandar, mamak food and the kinda food that you can find at a Malay stall, in a kopitiam setting i.e. the furnishing.

Heartwarming @ Winter Warmer, The Curve, Damansara ~ Part 02

 Teas aside... Ice mocha cappuchino

Heartwarming @ Winter Warmer, The Curve, Damansara ~ Part 01

 For a tea lover who enjoys nothing better than a cup with a good friend, great conversation and lovely ambiance - this place is for you.

Good time and gossip @ Wondermilk, Damansara Uptown

Not a place for heavy meals, but great enough for catch up and giggling. The menu mostly are light stuffs, unless you're on a diet. The trademark and highlight of this place are the cupcakes.

Nasi Lemak @ Restoran Jayati Seksyen 17, Shah Alam

 Malaysians likes to eat. Malaysians likes nasi lemak. Can I safely say that nasi lemak is a form of 1Malaysia? Heck, there's even a 1Malaysia movie on nasi lemak ~ Ever heard of Nasi Lemak 2.0?

 

Another dinner @ Laman Grill; Steak & Bar-B-Que, Shah Alam

 

 To celebrate a friend who came back recently from Ireland, we decided to dine again at this al fresco steak place. After all, my last visit was quite pleasant here.

Enchante Mediterranean ~ Le Midi @ Bangsar

 

Sometimes you just have to go see it for yourself to see whether what people said are true. I have read quite a number of unpleasant reviews on Le Midi, but to balance it out there are also positive reviews.

The Tea Republic @ Bangsar Shopping Centre ~ my reading spot

Admit it, though you love everybody, sometimes you just wish for a quiet time alone with nobody. Me, that covers tucking in at a nice, cozy shop with great accompanying tit bits. Which brought me all the way to The Tea Republic @ 2nd floor in Bangsar Shopping Centre.

 And no, you don't necessarily need to talk all the time over tea. Sorry, I guess I went against the message above but anyway "ttr [the tea republic] is all about celebrating the citeazen within". Let's celebrate the tea - me ~ =D
