d*lish @ bangsar village I

happy new year everyone!

back to clearing my backlogs which have now piled up in so many different folders... so many that i dont know which one to clear off first. haha.

ive always heard and read about this place called d*lish and im sure its not something new to many out there. but knowing me, i rarely wander around places like bangsar so during my 3 weeks work stint in bangsar village, i made sure i give this place a shot.

and so i did on my first day of work. and a couple of days after that as well.

the menu on an ol' school blackboard

with a red-white theme, d*lish is minimalist in deco, with most things identified from ikea. d*lish has also very quirky lines that forms the "guidelines" to getting your food. i did not take all steps from #1 to #7 but the above are visuals for you to understand what im saying.

their array of pretty cupcakes and brownie slices are hard to resist and will bound to tempt you back even after you step out of the place. i tried the chocolate raspberry brownie slice @rm6.80 (refer to above pic). despite the tempting outlook, it was nothing great to shout about...

chicken bacon spaghetti carbonara- rm13.80

orange/cranberry juice- rm4.80

portions for the pasta was big and certainly filling (maybe cos it was carbonara??). tastewise, it was rather ordinary, again nothing fancy or great to shout about. as for the 'violently squeezed' orange juice, i dont know about other people but i thought it tasted somewhat like the sunkist/peelfresh juices you get in the supermarkets.

p/s: it comes in a really small 300ml bottle.

bento box nasi ulam- rm15.80

one monday night, we couldnt decide what to eat and we just hit our target sales, so i just thought of rewarding myself a d*lish dinner (i'll post about what we have in most nights next time) ... i had the bento box nasi ulam.

although the food isnt that great (again), i like d*lish's concept of making takeaways so easy and no frills. their cutleries are really great and their takeaway package is so awesome (for eg. bento box) that it gives an entire new meaning to the term "ta pau".

pp/s: they give very nice paperbags for takeaway ;-)

2007: another year come and gone...

its the time for an obligatory post on what the year has been like... the ups, the downs, the good and the bad.

it was one heck of a year comprising of bittersweet memories.

a year of perseverance and hangin on in there.

... what comes up must come down. and so it was a time when we had to pat each other's back and say "thanks guys, couldnt have done it without you." good and bad times that will forever be etched in my memory- the 31st intima.

a year of love, care and knowing each other more.

a year of new opportunities, recognition, achievements and realizing our own potential.

a year of pride, happiness and joy for my *cough* loved *cough* ones.

a year of farewell, goodbyes and see you soon.

a year of being supportive of cultural music! *live and loud kl rocks!*

a year of strengthening old friendships...

... and forging new ties.

a year of celebrations.
and most presents i got in my whole 20 years. thanks guys (esp you calvin)!

and the best present i had for myself for the year was...

an A1 for a final year subject!

greg asked me what my new year resolutions are...

stayin' true as a food blogger, of cos it must be... TO VISIT EVERY EATERY OUTLET IN THE CURVE!! hahahaha.

and i promise *fingers and toes crossed!* to work hard for my final semester :-)

and improving on my card making skills!

happy new year folks! hope 2008 will be a better year for you and me :-)
go out and celebrate but dont get too wasted!

... till i write again, next year ;-) cheersssssss!
