Discovering Straits Quay & Lovely Charlie Brown Cafe

Next time in Penang, Straits Quay is another place worth to visit. I was there on Tuesday...

Overlooking the seafront, mouth wide-opened, "Could one of these be mine?"

Then, I found Charlie Brown Cafe...Scroll down now if you're Peanuts big fans^^

Nestle Multi Grain Cheerios

Last week, I received this large pack (300g) of Nestle Multi Grain Cheerios from Nestle Good Food Good Life for being the first 1000 participants to sign up in their FB contest page. Thank you so much, Nestle Malaysia!

Having Cheerios as my lunch or dinner to reduce the guilt for taking excessive meals during CNY holidays.

I love to have the cute little O's immersed in chilled low fat milk.

P/S: I do encountered difficult times in munching the over-soaked grains...haha

sticky: traditional hand-made yummy

Bumped into Kellye Tan's photos on Facebook moments ago...

I assumed these handmade rock candy are only available in Australia when I read an article about it few years back. Thanks to Kellye, as she told me it's already available at One Utama. About the pricing, smallest package size cost around RM13, depending on the flavours, package sizes/weights and optional accessories.

Just checked out sticky.com.my but it's still under construction. Perhaps sticky.com.sg can resist your craving for a second...just a second before you go grab a bag for yourself in store!

Moon Cakes Madness 2010

Should have post this last week while I just bought some moon cakes at Queensbay Mall. Too busy or lazy huh? It's been the 2nd year I'm away from home during Mid Autumn Festival. Yet there'll be 2 more years to go...Life's tough! So, I grabbed moon cakes back here to relief my melancholy during this desolate festive season in Parit Raja. Appreciate the designers' efforts as moon cakes' packaging are getting more attractive and detailed every year with  improved textures plus chunky accessories. You can say that I craved more for the colourful boxes rather than the moon cake itself. However, I just try out these new flavours...AWESOME but  definitely will gain some weight later >_<

Buka Puasa Buffet @ Parit Raja Kopitiam

Bulan Ramadhan seems like a great month for us to go for buffet...Malay restaurants all over Parit Raja such as Parit Raja Kopitiam, D'impian Kopitiam, Bisik-bisik & Serambi Rasa are offering buka puasa buffet promotion at affordable prices ranging from RM9.76-19.00. Eventually, we went to try out the one at Parit Raja Kopitiam (RM9.76) last Thursday & it was kinda disappointing. The food was okay but the quantity was not really enough to cater for buffet. They were offering less than 10 dishes and there were no replenishment, which means once finish, that's all!

Luckily, the PIC explained to us later that they were not preparing much dishes to avoid wastage due to the lack of walked-in customers. He suggested that we may make reservations in advance so that he can estimate the amount of food to be prepared. Upon finishing the main course, we took revenge by having bowls & bowls of ice-cream...COOL~

Aww...♥ the curry puff

Can't go anywhere without my buddies

Pity nia...so-called buffet =_=

Bubur Pulut Hitam

Stomach growling again...ishh. Next post will be featuring our buka puasa buffet experiences at Serambi Rasa. Stay tuned!

Beryl's Tiramisu Milk Chocolate

Hoho, went to Queensbay Jusco mini chocolate fair yesterday and bought this-Beryl's Tiramisu Milk Chocolate. My dad bought this for me few years ago but they've got new packaging this time. I love tiramisu so much. Tiramisu ice blended beverages, tiramisu cake, etc. and now, tiramisu chocolate! It's so smooth and creamy that it melts right in your mouth...One important fact about chocolate is never keep it in the refrigerator. Room temperature is just nice and adequate to maintain the chocolate original texture.

I'm quite choosey when come to chocolate. Cadbury is a common choice. Beryl's is another local brand that I'm kinda addicted and would not hesitate to recommend to my family and friends. If happens that next time you saw the chocolate in any supermart, do grab a box and try it out, then spread the news!

Ajisen Ramen

Another gloomy day. Took Causeway Link all the way down to Batu Pahat, craving for a bowl of hot soup-based ramen at Ajisen Ramen. End up in dissappointment when the waitress said no more ramen is available for order because there is no more soup. It's only 1.30pm, man! (lame excuse, hardly see any customer there) Then, I go for Hot Plate Chicken Karaage Ramen(the dry one) & Original Taste Pearl Milk Tea. Previously, my first trial for Ajisen was at its Penang Gurney Plaza branch(closed down now). I personally would recommend its Ton Toro Ramen(think so) & Unagi Don(a simple one). Nothing special about the Cha Su Ramen. The price of Ajisen is rather reasonable as compare to Ichiban Ramen whereby the taste sucks! Usually, I used to order green tea but BP branch Ajisen is linked with DaShiDai(大时代). They are serving a variety of fusion delicacies, chinese fried wok, western food, taiwan milk tea, ice-blended drinks as such. So, everyone can get the best of both world under one roof! As a reference, Hot Plate Chicken Karaage Ramen is RM10.80 while Original Taste Pearl Milk Tea is RM 3.20. Do drop by & have a try!

Original Taste Pearl Milk Tea~I can only taste the sweetness of sugar, still lack of the scent of milk, a milky texture would be the essential part for taiwan milk tea.

Hot Plate Chicken Karaage Ramen~The brownish gravy is salty, just like normal hot plate noodles. Noted that the 3 huge pieces of fried chicken is boneless, boneless! The serving size is adequate & satisfying for me...
