With The Berry-licious Stories
Sorry, fang, for posting up this late. erm, hope you don’t mind. K?! 4th of February is one of my best friends, Ting Fang’s birthday. 2 of us, Ching and me celebrated Fang’s birthday in Shogun, Japanese buffet restaurant in One Utama. We love to …
Hooray, the final paper has just ended. That’s PNS- peripheral nervous system and I just don’t really like this subject as it covers physiology, pharmacotherapy, basic medicine chemistry and the clinical part. Part of it, I like only medicine chemistry part. Well, it is all …
It is father’s day today. As usual, we don’t have regular celebration for daddy each year. We just hate it because all restaurants are crowded and the menus are always pricey on this special day. Instead, three of us (me and two of my brothers) went for a lunch. Three of us are Japanese food lovers especially my youngest brother. He always asks me to bring him to Genki Sushi, Oh! Sushi, Nippon Tei… but I always turn him down because I am too lazy to drive him out. Besides that, he is a very noisy person. Oh boy! He can talk non-stop-ly from morning till night. I just don’t know how to bear with him. When I don’t answer him (cz I am all the time paying ¼ attention to listen to him), I will be scolded by him. Sigh…
I ordered hiyashi chuka (RM12.90) which is a cold dish of ramen topped with lots of seaweeds, carrots, egg slices, crabsticks, two tempura ebi (fried prawns)… I din have the chance to taste the ebi because they are snapped by brothers once my plate of ramen served.
Youngest bro selected fried rice set (RM 10.90) with fried rice, jap style fried chicken, miso soup, fruit, and green tea. I have no idea why he wanted fried rice since we are in the ramen restaurant?!
I have worked for a week in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on the SMIDEX 2007 exhibition for the official contractor company, Cityneon. I had my great time there and found that this an interesting job. I learnt, communicate, make new friends, took meals with my …
I was in the kitchen again with my mum to create this wonderful cassava raisin cake (木薯葡萄干蛋糕) this afternoon. That’s the recipe we got from the newspaper and so happened that my aunt brought us a huge cassava, a kind of tropical plant. This time …
It has been a long time I never indulge myself with delicious food after the lunch with Chingie in Piccolo Mondo. Firstly, no kaki. My fave kaki chingie is very busy with her assignments and tutorial works at the moment, so I dare not asking her to hang out together. Hence, I opt for my secondary classmates aka best friends, Dred and Yan. Alright I have to say sorry for pushing the lunch for weeks as I am not in the mood to go out at that time.
I have got my kaki and we have to set the venue next. We have chosen Marche. Oooh-oh. Yan couldn’t make it. Only me and dred are going. Once we stepped into Marche. Disappointment appears on our face. Our main purpose to come over is for desserts — Cheese cake and Tiramisu. However, these 2 appear no where. Not on the dessert counter. No cheese cake. No tiramisu. We walked around the other food counter. I must say that we (us — Me, Yan, Roy, Wen, Chi, Jian, Dred, Wye, Ho, Tham, Francis… erm… who else?!) have nearly tried all the food from the counter in Marche last year Chinese New Year. We dined in Marche for dinner after our trip in Genting Highland. The best things were the Cheese Fondue and those cakes. As for this time, we found nothing special and nothing new. Sadly, we then ran off bermuka tebal without ordering any food.
Anyway, the curve must have lots of food and special cuisine. We both circled the walk and ended up with Italiannies.
Here come the complement breads and vinegar + olive oil. I called it as ‘welcome dishes’ like those restaurants serve peanuts or prawn crackers. The bread taste good. I find the whole meal bread has salty taste. Yum. Well, another ‘pai-seh’ thing happened. As this was our first time to dine in a kinda traditional Italian restaurant, we have no idea how we are going to eat this ‘welcome dishes’. We guess, just dipped the bread into the vinegar + olive oil. Hmm… that tasted great!
We scanned the Menu for a long time and finally ordered a few dishes — Drinks, the appetizer, main course and desserts.
Ripe Mango shake at RM 8.50After the drinks… And then…. We never thought of how huge is their serving and when the first dish comes, I am shocked! Oh my god, are we able to finish this HUGE plate of salad up?!
This is the Calamari’s Caesar salad (RM 24.90). A wide variety of vegetables topped with fried squids and the dressing.
Next is the main course, the pizza. I have never thought of the pizza is extremely LARGE! No eyes to see. I don’t think we both can finish these up as the dishes were for about 4 people. We still have 2 desserts (Tiramisu and Cappuccino Pie) behind. O.o
Smoked salmon pizza (RM 26.90).
Cappuccino pie (RM 12.90). The size is XXXL I think. That was totally different from what I saw in the Menu. Anyway, it tasted great and took me a long time to finish up my ‘ice berg’.
Tiramisu (RM 15.90). This tasted great too. A very traditional-liked dessert.
Errrr-hem… we couldn’t finish the pizza and very ‘pai-seh’; we had to take away the left over — half of the pizza.
I have learnt a lesson from today’s meal. Firstly, we must look at our ability before ordering food. Second, better make sure how huge the portion is. Finally, if don’t want to do such ‘pai-seh’ things like taking away (da bao) food, better call or ask friends over for help — finish the left over. Kekekeke.
As for conclusion, Marche is definitely out of my list if I still found no Tiramisu or cheese cake. Another thing, Italiannies is in my list now and I am going to pay another visit in the future. Nice food, yippie!
Menu for the dinner. There were fish, chicken, pork, prawn, desserts… Sounds great! I have never been to the charity auction dinner and last Saturday was my first time there. I received a call from my aunt in the morning. She had another ticket left …
Here we are, Chinese rice dumpling （粽子）. They are one of the traditional Chinese foods which made up of glutinous rice stuffed with filling and wrapped in the bamboo leaves. They are then cooked by billing. Although the 端午节, Dragon boat festival is still weeks …
