Food is really an important component of my life :) *Foodies put your hands up put your hands up! :P*
For me, when I'm stressed up, you'll see me with a bigger appetite and always with a mindset of what else I can eat / what's the next food /what's for the next meal hehehe. So my weight doesn't change much during stressful days because I gain as much as I lose ^^
Gonna dissect the above collage and share with you guys some nice stuffs I've tried and some nice stuffs I've made myself :) during my 2 study breaks, with my 1st paper sandwiched between 'em.
Jom! :D
#1 Sushi Zento, Sri Petaling
Saba Shioyaki Zen RM26.80
It's a relatively new addition to that area and the price is of upper-middle range. It serves pork and the interior is quite comfy :) Had a great catch up with my girl who had flown to Scotland for her 2nd phase of degree :) Ah I miss her now :(
That's what I ordered, for that price and GST, I'm grateful for that huge fish lying on the plate. Big portion and prepped well, thumbs up! :)
#2 Garage 51, Bandar Sunway
Mochatella RM16
My 2nd visit and I finally tried their signature Mochatella yay! Love the Nutella coffee cubes :) *I sneakily sipped the liquid from the melted cubes, it's so heavenly!* and also how it's presented~ Sadly it burned a hole in my wallet, overpriced :(
Oh and had Peanut Butter Nutella cake too! Love the few textures - Spongy cake, smooth spread of PB and Nutella, and a crunch from Hazelnut! and big portion hehe :P
Not forgetting the heaviest downpour lately on that day, giving my girl and I more time to chat and do some trip planning in that comfy atmosphere :P
#3 BreadFruits, Sri Hartamas
I'm finally here! And it's the day cousie is back in KL! We finally continued our food hunt that was abandoned for quite some time as we were in different cities.
BreadFruits had renovated and became more spacious with more seats! Love the atmosphere there as well, and with wood furniture and minimalistic interior, a plus point for me :)
Their price is more of upper-middle range as well, reasonable due to their use of fresh produce. Still I feel it's slightly overpriced.
Spanish Baked Egg with Toasted Ciabatta RM20.80
A healthy plus point for BreadFruits to reduce their usage of processed foods, the homecooked baked beans is so good! However I feel there's a lack of oomph in this dish, and portion is a little small.
Fresh Fruit Juice RM10.90
I forget the name of my juice hehe, but it's made of bananas, strawberry and pineapple if I'm not mistaken. A very rich one and love the big glass! :)
#4 De Irrfan's Cafe, IPC
Rojak Mee and Teh Tarik RM8.50 in total
Always love their Rojak dressing, it's always so nutty and fragrant! Alongside with tofu, eggs, cucumbers and fried toppings, too good!
Teh Tarik is really less sweet as I ordered kurang kurang manis :P thumbs up!
#5 Home! :)
Tamagoyaki :) aka Japanese Egg Rolls
Yup made these cute little rolls! In fact this is my 2nd trial hehe, first one was okay but not that nice haha >< Quite simple to make, only used 3 eggs, salt and sugar :) and some oil.
Nice little accompaniments for a meal and it's not time consuming at all ^^ Love it!
#6 Mille Caffe, Bandar Menjalara
Had a date with my girl who finally came back from Seremban after a month not coming back :)
Finally tried out this cafe! Ambience wise, I don't really prefer black interior but it's still okay. Price was still reasonable for the portion :)
Chicken chop was fine, love the tenderness and the gravy :D
They offer set lunch too! It's RM18 and comes with a cup of coffee :) It's also a pleasant one with the croissant slightly tougher to eat.
#7 The Morning After, Ativo Plaza
Salted Caramel Macchiato :)
Caffeine fix! Still remember my friends fell in love with this and recommended to me, then I fell in love with it too :P
A really nice combo :)
#8 Restoran Gou Lou, Damansara Uptown
My new finding after visiting my orthodontist for my braces :)
This bowl of fish head noodles is a bomb! Great flavors and love the soup :D Portion is big hence reasonable with its price :) and there are few types of fish and cooking method to be chosen from!
#9 MG's Vegetarian Cafe, Damansara Uptown
Snacking on these little cute pillows bought from this cafe :) They're really good and fragrant!
#10 Home 2.0 :P
Banana egg pancakes!
Finally made them :) quite easy but time consuming when it comes to mashing the bananas and mixing with the eggs to form a smoother batter.
Quite oily, but texture was fine :) A good way to use up bananas hehehe :P
#11 Home 3.0 :)
Konyakku! (Japanese word for jellies)
Made these lovelies with fresh lychees, grapes and mangoes :) love the natural patterns that made them very beautiful sweet treats!
#12 China :)
A cute cube of shredded beef :) from a boy in my children choir.
Very flavorful, love it :P and it's also a heartwarming one because another boy offered to me when he saw all of the children received these cubes of goodness except for me and another teacher :)
#13 Yi Yan Congee Restaurant, Medan Putra Kepong
Braised pork leg in vinegar :)
My new fave from this restaurant besides all their porridge! Portion is filling enough and the pork leg is so tender :) missing it right now hehehe :P
-----
So this comes to the end of my food list during study break, yup I ate a lot especially this time. This shows how high my stress level is for this final exam!
Hope I'll pass this final exam, results will be out today! Fingers crossed for that.
Till then, bye!
