Crave Cafe.

Now playing: Hands All Over - Maroon 5

Usually I don't post what I eat during our break times,

but this post is exceptional.

Freda drove us to Oasis Square,

despite the crazy ass jam,

just for brunch.

I had their Earl Grey tea.

I think it's infused with some sort of mint, 

because it tasted different and it was actually

rather concentrated.

John ordered their sandwich, with their artisan bread.

Believe me, the bread was good. 

Freda and I ordered their salmon and scramble.

I wished there's more salmon and the scramble was fluffy! 

We were disappointed because we expected something like John's.

Although it looked plain, but it was actually pretty filling.

Btw, we are broke after this meal.

Positivity.

It's been awhile, I know.
Busier and busier.
I'm longing for a break.
My body aches.
I'm always up so early, home so late.
Driving back and forth when there's no sun.

So what if I complain, others do it too.
I signed up this course myself,
and I didn't regret a bit.
It's just that I've overworked myself this semester,
compared to the previous two.

Breaking down in the middle of the night,
crying your eyeballs out because
you're so done with being just okay.
Not better, but just okay.
Even if people hear you out, there's nothing they can do
unless you help yourself.

I know I don't.
I never did.
I always look down at myself,
underestimating myself.
I'm never the best.
I just wanna be happy again,
laughing for no reason because everything was great.
This is when I wish I could turn back time, undo the things I've done.
Sometimes it's better to just keep quiet and hold it in.
But I couldn't just do that all the damn time.
I'm sick and tired of it.

"There's worse cases out there."
"You're not lucky, you're blessed."
"You sunk yourself further down with negative thoughts."

It was never easy.
But thank you for hearing me out, you know who you are.

Uncle Jang @ Ampang

Okay I just found out there's Uncle Jang in Ampang. 

I've heard of it, but the one I usually hear about is the Puchong branch.

And so, we decided to give it a try and see why is it so famous.

First, we spent 15 minutes driving around just to find it.

Then when we arrive, it was somewhat empty.

Debbie's friends said that weekends are impossible, 

but I guess it's not.

Man I feel like making pancakes on this thing.

There's a lot of flies, for some reason, but it didn't really bother us.

I was concerned when they said it wasn't spicy, 

because the colour didn't convince me.

And here's a picture of the food being cooked.

Almost ready.

And there you go, they added ramen to it.

I was glad that it wasn't spicy, although the colour was intimidating.

The taste was just a-okay, I wouldn't mind returning. 

Kiku-Zakura @ Great Eastern Mall

Now playing: Geromino - Sheppard

I can honestly consider Kiku-Zakura as my 

all-time-favourite Japanese restaurant. 

Or at least the branch in Great Eastern.

Once awhile we'll eat there if we're up for Japanese,

and so far, their food never really disappoint us.

And I'm aware that I hadn't post much lately, 

so I decided to write an opinion post on my favourite Japanese restaurant.

This is their buttered asparagus with Bonito flakes.

We've never ordered this, but it was great!

The usual, kappa maki. 

Fried baby fish? I'm sure there a proper term, but I never bother to learn.

I should. But oh well. We'll always order this whenever we eat there.

Some sort of fancy maki that we've never ordered.

There's tempura and stuff, wrapped with seaweed and raw salmon.

Fried baby shrimps. I seriously need to get my terms right.

This is somewhat similar to the fish, but I prefer the fish more.

Their somen. Their broth was just nice that day,

because the last time we had it, it was over seasoned.

It comes with tempura!

Debbie ordered their curry katsu.

Mum and Nikki ordered their chicken teriyaki don.

And this is the best black sesame ice cream.

BEST.

I've tried many, but their's is still the best.

And the best part is that they didn't charge us the ice cream :D

Gingersnap cookies.

Now playing: Ain't It Fun - Paramore

Made gingersnap cookies today because 

I was working on my entremet project.

Because the idea was rejected, 

and I've already bought the ingredients for a trial,

so I made the base anyway.

It was actually pretty nice!

The ginger gives it a lil kick and to my surprise,

even if I sugarcoat it (get it?),

it wasn't too sweet.

Here's the link to the recipe:
