ippudo, Pavilion

Everything went so well, not until the fanflyer was distributed to the 3 of us (my mom, sis and me). It was written that we will get a free Chashu Tsukune Teppan with any ramen order whenever you flashed the fanflyer to the staff upon ordering. And so, dinner was settled.

We dine in in Ippudo, for the first time. Yea, just for the free food, I said. I was dumbed enough to hold the fanflyer on hand so that they would know what im coming for. It was crwoded in there and so we waited for a minute or so. The staff there were friendly enough to lead us to our table when our turn came. I was impressed as they combined both bars and this restaurant in one. So you can go for food or drinks, or maybe both? Maybe I would go for some shots when I'm 21. Everybody has to do that once in a lifetime, right?

We ordered a few dishes and of course a bowl of Ramen, just to get the free Chashu Tsukune Teppan.

 My sis went for salmon with rice, and I was craving for  gyoza (chicken dumpling). I love all of them so much except for my order. It was a not quite satisfying decision, although it satisfied my cravings. I expected it to amazed my taste bud, but it didn't. It's frightening how amazing was that salmon with rice. We wanted to order for another bowl, because it was too little to share. I guess it's because it's a japanese restaurant, and everything comes in a small portion. They have not much choices to choose from, and I think that what makes them amazing.

I demanded desserts to give a wrapped up for the dinner that day. We ordered panna cotta and waffles with ice cream. (the food photos in the menu make them look amazing and of course tempting.) And, I got trapped easily by vision. 

I love the panna cotta there. It had caramel taste (yes, it reminds me of popcorn!) topped with tiny little blueberries. It's soft and everything melts when u placed it into ur mouth. It was so nice till we didn't left a single bite over there. It's difficult to convince others, but we did ate up the dried orange. 

The waffle with ice cream was just normal you know, waffles with vanilla ice cream.

Anyways, others were so so good! And so, we visited here the second time.

Sweet Tree, Korean Village, Ampang

Had an awesome chatting session with my girls again. The actual plan was to be in huey yee's house and we ended up fooling around in Sweet Tree, because huey yee doesn't have house keys with her. And, here family were all out. 

We will always dine in whenever we're in Korean Village. I chose to sit near the glass window. Frankly speaking, it was not the view that attracted me, but the couch. It's the only couch that you get to find in this Korean Restaurant. And they both agreed as we gotta be here for 3-4 hours to wait for her parents to be home. 

Huey yee shared lots of her school life to the both of us (Ying and I already shared ours at KLCC while waiting for huey yee) And of course, Ken (aka Huey yee's friend- not going to go real deep in who Ken is) was the hot topic whenever we meet up. Huey yee caught into some trouble with him and we were there to listen. Yea, just listening to all her crap stories, jokes and laughed around. I'm pretty sure that's what friends are suppose to do. Not being generalized, at least that's what me and ying did, most of the time. 

We went for Bibimbap (Korean dish consisting of rice topped with sauteed vegetables and beef with the addition of raw egg), and a bowl of fries (Fries won't go wrong). I took a few spoonful of the Bibimbap and it was great! But, I couldn't take spicy food, and so I left to Huey yee gobble the rest. 

I guessed the staff there were all busy and they refused to take our order. Ying was so mad and went down to make a complaint. Yes, that's my friend over there. And so, free food were here again. I had no idea what it's called. It came with 2 bowls of porridge with a spoonful of kimchi on them and a few side dishes. I had a few bites it and I didn't like it. The side dishes was too cold, but it's supposed to be like that as what I heard from ying. Not a Korean, so I have no idea. No way for cold dishes, unless its ice cream, ahhh!

I guess, I'll just stick to the fries. 

We had such a great time being together, although we chatted nonsense most of the time.

Ichiban boshi, Pavilion

It was a sudden an eating-shopping plan with my cousin. I've not been out with her for ages and I got so excited about the outing. It was a sudden plan and so it was supposed to be ruin. And yes, it did. It can be an hour or half an hour earlier I supposed but then I told her the wrong timing. So, it's considered a ruin plan but we still managed to meet up. My sis and I reached Pavilion before her and so we had the time to redeem bubble tea from Chatime for free. Yes, its free! My sis got herself a regular pearl milk tea while I got myself one Large caramel milk tea. (because I miss caramel popcorn, so I need to have something with caramel) I was quite addicted to caramel these days. Anything will do, Caramel pls! (JUST IF I KNOW HOW TO Make caramel at home, I guess I would have popcorns with movies everyday) 

We met up with my cousin and went to hunt for food. What's for lunch? Ichiban boshi! My cousin caught her eyes into those sushis which go round the tables. She said that she only get to have bento set whenever she have Japanese food with her family. And so, we stepped in with a mind went this must be an expensive lunch. They both enjoyed their meal and I was like there, I just need a burger. I'm not into all these sushis! I guess that's the reason why my cousin ordered some kind of fish for me. It's a grilled fish which comes with a stick. You get to bite all the fish's eggs in a bite. It's small and somehow I felt guilty about it. But, it was tasty although it looks kinda eww. And so, my cousin sis called another two more. Ya, its to share among the three of us. But I ate almost two of them if i'm not mistaken. 

They both ordered raw food which I don't take them. I gain the courage to take a bite but it was so difficult for me to swallow it. And the worst thing was, I feeling like throwing up. I just don't know how to appreciate their so called heaven. Sorry, not sorry. I stuffed myself with cooked food, and they both were there looking at me saying that it's such a waste. I know, i know.

We went for window shopping (aka excersing ur legs), at least its a yes for us. It's always the mentality that you need to keep telling urself it is an exercise. You SHOULD walk after a meal.

Caffebene, Sunway Pyramid

Can't really remember why i've been stucked in Mid Valley with my girl that day. Yes, I have short term/ long term memories. We wandered around there quite awhile. And you know, girls being girls- tried on clothes and chit chatted. Basically, we can chit chat anywhere, anytime. Too much to talk about, but too little time. 

Huey yee saw Caffebene right after she stepped out of H&M. It was just next door. Her eyes glowed and so did i. Nothing much to discuss about, and we lined up in front of the counter to take our orders. It was such a tough decision to take down our order. We just order one to share it off, so we had to make sure that we ordered the best out of the best. It MUST BE! We asked for the best seller, and we were told that the cookie and cream bingsu was nice. And so, we gave it a try. 

It was crushed ice milk with oreo biscuits and gelato on top. Of all three, the gelato was the best. (I know it's should be a combination, but I like to taste everything separately, and then all at once). I kinda regretted for not ordering only their gelato, or at least waffles with gelato and chocolate topping on top. (Yes, im in love with flour, and I don't know why). Later on, huey yee's friend texted her and said that the strawberry bingsu is only the best among all after she had sent a picture to him. It was too late by then, maybe next time. 

Jogoya, Starhill

Its time to reward yourself with buffet. It's the time to pamper yourself. (although i pamper myself every single time. Yes, with food. ALL the time) At least they don't make you sad. There's butterflies in my stomach the night before having buffet. I even dreamed of having all those crabs and prawns in front of my eyes. No joke! We went there about 1 in the afternoon and it was flooded with people in there. I'm pretty sure it was a weekend, how on earth people are there stealing my food and not being in the office doing paperworks? What do they want?! 

We got to sit down and we just can't wait to grab all the stuff out there. My sis went for all sorts of sushi. And I went to take a look around the whole area. (Yes, i need to make sure that what I had was the best!) I grabbed those seasoned grilled steaks and mama you know, it was so good! It's so much better than those sushi my sis got. I was so into with their steaks. And so, I grabbed more.

I even got those marshmallow with chocolate topping on one hand while walking around looking for what else I can stuff into my tummy. And the feeling was awesome. I don't see anybody did that, but I think it was a waste of time for not doing so. Make use of time, buddies!

I was not really into sushi and my sis also claimed that it was not very fresh. So, I went for the tofu and egg sushi only, if i'm not mistaken. My mama wanted something hot. And, being a good girl like me, knew what's fine to ease her tummy at that moment- dim sum! More pls! Frankly speaking, it was so good! I brought a few pieces onto the table and went out to get some other stuff. And, when i got back, everything was gone. Yes, all of those dim sum were gone!

There's always a place for dessert. Cows have four stomach, and so i guess I have five of them. I took a piece of waffle and pancake and got some new zealand ice cream and drizzled some maple syrup and chocolate for topping.

It was so good! I mean not my creation of it but the new zealand ice cream. I was so into with the honey comb ice cream and so I went to grab some more. Yes, my sis and mama hadn't try them. But, my mama prefered the choc with peppermint rather than mine. Nvm, I shall have my mama's share. I also love the haegan daaz ice cream over there, its caramel flavour I perhaps. Can't really remember well.

In conclusion, we had a great time. It was a satisfying buffet if you are not coming for their sushis. And I know I'm not.

Brunch

Got to meet up with kakak just to have brunch together. She was so desperately meeting with my brother as she had not met him for ages.

We were never early when comes to meeting up with her. And again, she waited there for almost half and hour or so. Now, blame the train. (it just never go any faster) We figured quite some time for what shall we have for brunch. Our answer always comes out with anything. Yes, anything will do. So, we chose to dine in in a western cuisine. I know its just having brunch but then you either go big or go home. Right?

We went in to JCO donuts before saying goodbye. I'm not sure why we do so every single time of meeting kakak, but we just stepped our foot in it. Doughnuts. Two boxes, pls!

While waiting for mom

Burgers anyone? Life is so much better with burgers on hand.  You can have a mouthful of all the godness at once. These satisfy me. Sis, bro and I had burgers at KGB (aka killer gourmet burger) while my mom met her friends at Antipodean. You know how good it can be if it's named as the KILLER. It must have meant something, right? No? You must be wrong. This burger was recommended by my bestie, Huey yee and so I brought my sis and bro here. 

My sis and I had beef burger while my bro had chicken burger (can't really remember what were those burger names, but trust me, those names were kinda cool) and cajun fries. I love the bun over here and the juiciness of the burger would've dirty your hand. But, it's okay to be dirty by those babies.

Yea, that's my bro over there sipping his fanta and had a few bites of his burger. Imagine a cool boy like him gave those burgers a thumbs up when I asked for his opinion. He will never lie to me.  

I'm really serious when it comes to food. PLUS, this is not just food, it's a burger. I tried to calm myself down but I don't think I can handle with it. Forgive me, thank you.

One wallop and there went next- Coffea coffea. Sis brought the both of us there. It was just a few streets away from KGB. YOU MUST Walk there because you need to do so after having all those calories.

And so, we rewarded our effort of walking to coffea coffea with brownie and a glass of caramel smoothie. I was not brownie lover after all but the brownie here was too good to be true. There's nuts in it and I love the rich chocolaty texture. Just one bite, and you will fall in love with it. Trust me or else you will lose it. Think that my words were not convincing enough? Look at the picture then.
