KyoChon 1991.

Now playing: All About Your Heart - Mindy Gledhill

Went over to the Pavilion branch to try this ever-so famous fried chicken.

We went to the restaurant around 4pm, 

and it was actually rather packed.

The service was alright, 

rather slow, but at least they told us the chicken will be served in 20 minutes or so.

We ordered the original flavoured chickens and the salsal chicken.

Salsal only comes in chicken breast strips, FYI.

I ordered their barley tea and I enjoyed it.

Their side orders come in a small portion.

We order their garlic fried rice and rice cake chicken soup.

They're alright, it wasn't bad.

Just a little disappointed on the portion size.

Uhh that's Lee Min Ho I think.

This is their salsal chicken with all three sauces.

Honey mustard, Jambalaya (I think) and Red (spicy) sauce.

Honey mustard and jambalaya are sweet sauces, 

which I didn't like.

Although the spicy sauce is really spicy, 

but it's still better than the other two sauces.

This is their original flavoured chicken, 

which is marinated in garlic soy, I supposed.

The chicken are good on their own and 

I'd suggest to get the spicy sauce for an extra kick.

Fahrenheit 600.

We went to Publika for breakfast and we decided to try Fahrenheit 600.

Was about to head to The Red Bean Bag,

thank god we didn't cause we realised people who went up have to come back down.

We assume it's packed.

We asked for a table for 5 and looked at the menu.

There's not much selection of breakfast for us.

I can't decide between two dishes, 

so my mum and I decided to order one each and swap if we didn't like our orders.

I had their hot chocolate and it somewhat looks like a swan to me.

I had the "I love California" and I would honestly say, "I didn't like it".

Mum ordered their Mary Morino's.

I think it was alright, but it was spread with cream cheese and avocado 

plus the poached (more like hard boil) egg makes it super jelat. 

Like I can barely finish half of the toast.

My sister ordered their Auntie Joanna's Baked Eggs 

which is pretty much bolognese sauce with mushrooms and sausages, 

topped with an egg and cheese.

At least she enjoyed it.

Self reminder: Publika is SUPER DUPER crowded on the weekends. 

The Red Beanbag.

I tried out The Red Beanbag at Publika for the first time today with mum and her friends.

I don't usually go there, and it's only the second restaurant I've tried in Publika.

I don't have much to say about it, 

other than the food I had.

The service is good, people were friendly.

The ambience is alright, 

where I sat wasn't the best but it was okay.

Since it is a Tuesday, 

there weren't much people there for brunch,

but when it's about 1pm, 

it's starting to get a little crowded even though it's a Tuesday.

I had Sumo (from The Dark Side of the menu) and Granny's Garden for tea.

It was a rather interesting dish, 

and I'd say it was a good dish for brunch.

The poached egg and hollandaise sure is breakfast for me, 

but the salmon and the spinach kinda makes it lunch.

I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of poached eggs,

so it's rather hard for me to finish it all.

The tea has an acquired taste. 

The description said it is a mix of strawberries and rhubarbs,

and I'd just say it tastes like rhubarb, 

not so much on the berries.

However, it's still acceptable.

Mum had their Super Awesome Fry-Up.

And they ordered an additional Skyscraper.

FLUFFY PANCAKES!

Not bad at all, I'd say.

And of course, they just had to,

 and I'm there, so yeah.

Behold, 1600 pandas.

Wheel Noodle

Finally tried this "in" thing and well, it sure is "in".

So this one is in Ipoh, where exactly?

I don't know.

Called Wheel Noodle, but I called it Boat Noodle anyway.

This place is more or less like a coffee shop.

That sells noodles and the attention goes to the ambience.

Oh, it's a guesthouse upstairs.

Those in KL will be like "HEYYYYYY... That's familiar."

(I said that myself)

Tried their butter coffee. It's not that weird, totally acceptable (even for my mum).

I swear I took photos of their noodles,

 but I didn't have them anyway.

The service was rather very slow.

It's breakfast time and we got served around 11am.

And I don't know which was slower, 

having the drinks prepared or the food.

The food was just okay. 

Like, it's not the best.

Just another trip to Thailand.

We went to Chiangmai and Chiangrai not long after my break started.

It was pretty fun.

I like the cold weather there (they claim it's not but fine) but not so much on the food.

Typical Thai food. Not much.

Some even have influence from Myanmar as they are so near by.
Chiangrai is much colder than Chiangmai,
which was probably because of where it was located.
It's norther than Chiangmai so yeah.

We landed at Chiangmai, and took like a 4-hour bus trip to Chiangrai
and I can assure you,
it feel longer than that.
The first attraction we went was this White Temple.
It was a proper name but I can't recall it because it's in Thai.

Beautiful isn't it. Most temples in Thailand are golden, but this one is white.

They say white symbolises 'purity', and I agree.

I know, hands holding skulls, but it's still rather beautiful.

But nothing beats this. (The creepiest, but okay.)

Since we only spent a day in Chiangrai, we went back to Chiangmai
and yay, more bus.
There's more in between but I can't recall much
and I don't have much pictures in my phone.

So we did some of this and that,
that probably interest my mum and aunts more than anyone,
(maybe thats why I don't remember much)
but if anyone wants to go to Chiangmai, 

I recommend you the Chiangmai Night Safari.

Since I've never been to the Singapore's,
for a first timer in a Night Safari,

it was pretty awesome.

Like the animals were so close you that I kinda want to bring them home.

Especially the giraffes.

No zebra touching though :(
And no flash.

It was rather cooling, so it's a +1 for Chiangmai.
We rode the tram and we bought some food for the animals.
At some point when the tram picked up speed,
you'll get cold air blasted in your face if you sat outside.
And I thought my nose was gonna fall off.

So here's some pictures of the animals.
It wasn't easy to get a good one since "NO FLASH"
and some were further away.
Plus, my phone has a limit too (battery's dying).

Some mountain goat thingi. I can't recall.

GIRAFFES!!!

Clean, not yellowish zebras. Unlike the ones we have in Zoo Negara. Ugh.

This pig won't stop following the tram.

(Because it knows that we have food)

And this bear waiting for food.

And here's a picture of my sisters and I "hanging out". 

We're on our phones, really.

Faaa-graaa

So I tried foie gras for the first time ever.

And it's true.

Creamy.

I know it's not cheap, but damn, it's worth every cent.

Wouldn't have been able to try if my uncle hadn't gave us some.

It's not very presentable, but pan seared foie gras is hella darn good.

Travel light.

Now playing: Blank Space - Taylor Swift

I had never fly with Air Asia before and this coming trip will be my first time.

So my dad say we will all carry only 7kg for a 6D5N trip. 

Okay, no problem. 

That's what we thought.

So I finally had a short break from exam.

But my exam isn't over yet.

Typical me, I'll pack in advance. 

So I placed 2 sets of pyjamas, 2 jeggings and a hoodie.

And I am proud to say that it is already 4/5 full.

THE HELL RIGHT?

So I weighed my luggage and BAMMM. 

4kg. 

I know the luggage itself is like 2.5kg or something. 

I tried to travel light. 

The amount of clothes reduction is so much compared to how I used to travel with MAS.

But ugh, seriously?

No wonder we've never took Air Asia. 

MAS FTW. 

Although all these MH tragedies had happened.

But I can honestly say I would continue flying with MAS :)

Breaks.

So I've said that I'll be reposting some old post from my previous, problematic blog.

Which I already did. 

Since I'm on break, I might blog more often than I usually do.

Blogging reminds me of the old days,

 where it was so cool to blog.

And all you posted was some silly post with loads of selfies in it.

I've been thinking on changing the URL.

Talkaholic seems a little ... exaggerating.

I do talk rather a lot, mind you,

but that's only when I'm with people that I'm comfortable with.

So guys, if you hear me talk a lot in person, 

that means I'm comfortable.

So my break starts as soon as I finished my finals last December.

Not long after that,

I had a uhh gathering with the rest of my course mates including the seniors, and lecturers.

It was fun, and fuzzy since there were people in fuzzy onesies.

And that's also when you see you lecturers go wild.

I mean, yeah, they sure were partying.

Maybe I'll just stop here for today.
Heh.

Again.

So I just realised that blogger isn't gonna help me with my blog's problem.

At all.

So all I did was change the URL of my old blog,

and I used the same URL for this one instead.

I might slowly reblog some of my old posts.

Because I want to keep them here.

And by the way, Happy 2015! 

Cheers :)
