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.

Budget Travel @ Sabah 02 ~ Dinner from Apple Café, 1Borneo Hypermall

 

When I was a student I used to get my lunch / dinner here because the café offers variety of side dishes at an affordable price. It’s not exactly Malay food or Chinese food, more like a mix – up and fusion I guess. For a filling meal at affordable price, I couldn’t care less. They have never displayed a Halal status, but no pork is served here and you can see some Malays eating here too.

Foodie @ KLCC ~ Parkview Deck Café

It was over tea and cookies break that I was pondering what to have for lunch aside from the conference food, because the day before experience with the free food really sucks... I am not picky, but the chef must have forgotten to add salt or to kindly provide a salt packet with the food. Nevertheless, I was totally bummed by the crummy food and spent the rest of the evening feeling hungry in the cold conference auditorium. Thank goodness there was endless supply of cookies and tea / coffee.

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.

Penang again!!! 02 ~ Suffolk House again ~ tea time ~

I'm starting to make it a compulsory thing to visit Suffolk House at Ayer Hitam whenever  I dropped by in Penang because one, I'm totally hooked to the afternoon tea after my first visit here and two, I really love soaking up in the romantic ambiance of this place. I can sit here all day sipping tea and never leave Penang :D

Peace... @ Purple Cane Teahouse, Ipoh

 Here you get the Zen feeling while sipping high quality tea... Screw the traffic jam and difficult parking. It's worth the trouble to get here, that scratch - and - win parking ticket too.

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

Tea for two @ T Forty Two, Empire Gallery

While looking around for something sweet to sink our teeth in after lunch, passed by T Forty Two @ the Empire gallery and we thought why not spice up our dessert a little bit with some hi tea stuffs and stick out our pinkies over delicate china.

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

Trying the big set @ Rakuzen, Empire Gallery

 After a long break from Japanese food, we decided that a dinner at Rakuzen might help with our cravings =) That time it was an off season thus we got a nice place by the window to watch the rain and traffic down there. Crowd was OK at that time at the Empire Gallery. The perks of the off season also means faster and more efficient service, never before I felt like I'm gonna burst from too much ocha hehehe =D

Ni Anago (broiled sea eel) and Inari sushi. For me sea eel tastes better than river eel. Inari is my old - time favourite, just love that sweet bean curd skin!

Hey ho Penang 12 ~ tea break at Bellevue Hotel on Penang Hill

Bellevue Hotel is one of those colonial hotel at Penang Hill. It's a small and quaint hotel furnished with yesteryear items,  has a panoramic view restaurant and its own Aviary Garden that stocks up on various birds and plants. The review on Tripadvisor give a mixed up impressions, and I did not stay here so I shall refrain on making any statements on the 12 rooms available here.

Hey ho Penang 09 ~ Breakfast Day 2 @ Golden Sand Resort, Penang

On the 2nd day, breakfast was lighter for me since the buffet is pretty much the same, I took only what I did not take the day before. Plus all the durian and yesterday's food, so I thought I'll give it a rest today... So that's my pink guava juice while waiting for others at our table.

Hey ho Penang 05 ~ Seafood dinner @ Golden Cafe, Golden Sand Resort, Penang ~ the dessert part!!!

Of course, after a wonderful gorging of seafood, the ending is dessert! Not disappointing us, the array of desserts presented by the Golden cafe's chefs were simply amazing. We have the usual butter and cream cakes, chocolate cake...

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.

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.

My Penang Solo Stumble 07 ~ English tea and a quiet moment at Suffolk House, Jalan Air Itam, Penang

I must admit, I really stumbled upon this place while getting myself lost around Penang island with a map in hand. I was like, whoa what is this, looks interesting… Let’s go!!

 And so I stumbled upon this charming place of 200 years history.

 Suffolk House, with its dreamy like setting from outside.

My Penang Solo Stumble 04 ~ Tree Monkey Restaurant @ Tropical Spice Garden, Teluk Bahang, Penang

One of my favourite picture spot during my visit was the Tropical Spice Garden, situated along Teluk Bahang after a seaside drive by Tg Bungah. Boasted to be an eco – friendly park, this park houses various herbal plants in lush tropical setting. Prior to entering, you’ll be spritzed with a citronella spray which acted as mosquito repellent. How is that for eco – friendly?

I started my visit with a food peek at Tree Monkey, an al fresco diner serving Northern Thai cuisine. The place has a serve – no – pork status since they serve alcohol, opens daily at 9 am – 12 am. Apparently they served vegetarian too.

 They were having mocktail promotion at sunset hours at that time so I had my lovely Sunset Paradise with some appetizers. The waiter was like, “It’s not sunset yet.”, and I was like “I don’t care”. LOL
