Backdated : Marble Cake

On a Sunday morning, I woke up just to find myself home alone. As I rummaged through the fridge, I have a block of butter, 4 eggs, and self raising flour. Hmm, it triggered my baking nerves. Put them all together, and after 2 hours, ta-daa... Marble cake.

Backdated: Dim sum @ Kong Mah Sungai Buloh

It was a Sunday morning, and suprisingly Daddy was at home ! So we went for for breakfast, and he suggested dim sum. So we trotted along to try a new place , it's Kong Mah in Sungai Buloh. Mom said that the owner of this shop, used to run a small little corner in the Bukit Maluri market, then she shifted over to Sg Buloh, and expanded it to a full fledged dim sum restaurant. If your intention is to sit down and enjoy cupS of tea with your food, this is not the right place, as it is rather packed and has a very high turnover. As soon as you sit down, you'll find yourself surrounded by waiters carrying offering you all sorts of dim sum, even before your cuppa tea is served! Each one of them is in charged of a few types of dishes., that way they could respond to customers at the snap of their fingers ! There is a huge selection for your to choose from, and I personally find the food to be quite nice, though a fussy Daddy says that it's just so- so. Here's a few shots of the food we ate : -

Backdated: Chakri Express @ Alamanda Putrajaya

We were in Putrajaya for the day, and while scouting around for dinner options, we found this - Chakri Express, a chain owned by Chakri Palace. Being tired of fast foods and Japanese, we decided to give this a try. The bill came up to RM60 for 2 person, a reasonably price for Thai food. I'll let the pictures do the talking

Tom Yum Seafood
The soup wasn't too spicy, with just the right dash of tangy-ness, a combination of prawns and squids fills the bowl.

Creamy butter prawns
The battered prawn were fried to golden perfection, and topped with a creamy butter sauce with slight peaces of salted egg yolk. Hrmm, I sense a lil Chinese influence here.

Green curry chicken
I personally thought it could be improved with a lil more spicy-ness, and less coconut milk.Though it can't beat the one in Sri Ayutthaya, nevertheless, it was a good try.

Green curry on steamed white rice.. yum!~

Backdated: Birthday dinner @ La Risata with Patricia

Patricia took me out to this lovely Italian place hidden amon the hustle bustle of Ampang's traffic, well we did find the place only after a few wrong turns. But it was all worth the find. Well, she's been there before, just not during the night. All dressed up for the night, I was looking forward to a lovely birthday dinner with my BFF whom I've known for 10 years now. Originally, I did a collage of all the photos, but I thought it didnt do justice to the amazing food.. so here's the bigger version

The interior of the restaurant


Gnocchi ai Gamberi
I never quite fancied gnocci as I am afraid of the floury texture, but this is a must try! The gnocchi has a slight crispy texture in the outside, light and fluffy inside, with a tinge of sweetness. Perfectly complemented with generous cuts of fresh prawns. Yum!

Grillled mushrooms-
a refreshing starter, tossed in a nice blend of herbs and served with garden greens.
Don't need to count calories with this one!

Can't remember the exact name, but it's fettucine with scallops and mushrooms, cooked in a cream gravy. It was a rare decision of mine to order this, as I could never finished a creamy pasta. Nevertheless, for carbonara lovers, you will find this dish an indulgence. With generous amount of scallops and mushrooms, and a creamy gravy, you'll find it hard to not lick the plate!


Ravioli di Pesce
Each piece of ravioli is a lovely combination of a thin rolled out pasta with chunky pieces of fish, and swimming in a creamy salmon grave. It was definitely a good pick!


Last but not least, my BFF and partner in crime since high school, one whom I've shared my deeepest and darkest secrets with. Thank you for the lovely dinner. hugs

The girls then continued to Lil Havana at Changkat Bukit Bintang, for a nice cold glass of cider.
