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:

The Apartment @ The Curve

A typical day out with my family 

and we decided to have lunch at The Apartment.

This isn't our first time here, btw.

I decided to order their BLT guacamole sandwich

with their lemonade and I was pretty happy with my lunch.

Everything was just right.

Nikki ordered roasted chicken sandwich and she didn't liked it at all.

I didn't try it to find out why, because I was full from finishing my own meal.

I'm sorry for suggesting you this.

Mum had their ayam percik and when it arrived, 

everyone just stared at the rice.

Mum said it was good, maybe because she was hungry.

She liked the coconut milk sauce (the orange one) served with it though.

And the red chilli sauce was spicy and sour, most likely to be TOO spicy for me. 

Debbie had their fish & chips and she claimed that it was a little over-seasoned.

Mum said that "It's like that." 

Btw, that's apple-slaw and it wasn't nice. 

Special, but nope.

Lastly, dad's rendang tok.

He finished it, like usual and he didn't give any comment.

Oh well.

We wanted to go for dessert, 

I wanted to try their eton mess, but I was too full.

Begin; Raffles Fashion Show 2015.

We were invited to Raffles College's 2015 Convocation,

thanks to Estee :)

I was generally thrilled to attend a fashion show, 

with real models and all.

At first, we couldn't see much, 

because the front rows were saved or taken.

The tickets. A design school will be a design school.

The bouquet of sunflowers we picked out for Estee's grad.

But after the buffet for dinner, 

we went back in as soon as the doors were opened

and we manage to sit at the front row.

A little too close to the runway.

It's alright, at least we got to see the details.

The photos below were all the collections for the night.

I was impressed with Raffles' capabilities.

And the snaps below were taken by Jamie's phone,

because mine almost died.

Hot guy alert!

The collection on top was Estee's.

I loved the colour combo!

Apparently we wore her collection's colours.

So while we were waiting/searching for Estee,

me and Jamie decided to try our luck at the backstage.

And oh boy, WEREN'T WE LUCKY?!

Such sweet smile he has, fan-girling we are.

MUST. GET. INTO. THE. PHOTO.

Thanks for the eye candies, 

and for inviting us to your fashion show.

Congratulations Estee!
