ayam penyet ria

ayam penyet ria @ dataran mentari, sunway

good indon food is hard to come by and i first discovered the cuisines of our neighboring country (home to fellow illegal imigrants/construction labors/maids etc) when i chanced upon waroeng penyet @ the curve (visit #1, visit #2). i've passed by ayam ria penyet a million times but have never had the chance to pay it a visit, until...

one fine day.


es cendol (ice cendol)- rm3


ayam penyet (mashed chicken)- rm7


empal penyet (fried sweet beef)- rm6.50


bakso kuah (beef ball soup)- rm4.50

the ayam penyet was tastefully done! the empal penyet was very tender and delicious! the bakso opens up like a smile (reminds me alittle of those 'fatt koh' that opens up when steamed and those paper thingy we fold and played when we were in school?) the es cendol was unique (pineapples, mashed green beans, kidney beans, cincau, cendol) but i prefer our malacca cendol more (*oh how i miss the durian cendol...*).

overall, i think this shop is worth a try and food generally taste better than waroeng penyet's!

p/s: will be in singapore for the weekend! stay safe and be good ya'll!

petrol price increase 40%... what else can i say???

bloody stupid liar government. i hatejiu!!! those stupid ministers can say all they want that we still have the lowest price blahblahblah... what do they know? they drive their big menteri cars pumping petrol on rakyat's money. will they feel the pinch and the pain? NO! raining and all the roads are flooded... traffic jams, do they feel it? NO! they've got police escorts clearing the roads for them whereever they go, so before you stupid ministers make another stupid comment telling us to 'change our lifestyles' you better open your eyes big big, stretch your ears big big to see how we're coping/adjusting/suffering. @#$%^&@#$%!!!!

petrol increase, flour increase, electric increase, toll increase, sugar increase, crime rates increase, inflation increase, poverty increase... what didn't increase ah? oh right... salary :-/

13th GE and you are doom because i'll be eligible to vote and my vote goes to anyone but you.

taishi teppanyaki

taishi teppanyaki @ usj9

craving for teppanyaki but don't want to brave the traffic jams, going in rounds looking for a parking spot and wasting time in a shopping mall? come to think of it, how many independent teppanyaki shops are there out there that are NOT in shopping malls?

google'd and found taishi teppanyaki in usj 9.


pretty good ambience, eh?

we (me, calvin, eiling) stood out being the only patrons in the outlet after a couple left moments after we were seated. and having one big camera with flashes snapping away doesn't help with being the center of attention. that being said, we were approached by the 'lao pan niang' (lady boss) who relate to us that her husbang (aka 'lao pan') once had one big camera as well but was stolen after the shop got broken into blablabla.

further conversations... blablabla taishi has been around for 4 years blablabla lao pan niang learnt the japanese culinary from japan where her sister resides in blablabla chefs are local blablabla own homemade concocted special sauces blablabla


deluxe sushi set- rm14.80


sliced beef in goma peanut butter sauce- rm18.80



beef course- rm34.80
(top L-R): N.Z. beef sirloin, tiger prawns, beef rolls, cuttlefish


chicken + salmon + cuttlefish- rm23.80

food is not too bad, but a tad too pricey imho, sushi is not recommended though. i love my goma peanut butter sauce as it goes really well with the rice! i heard calvin said he loves the nz sirloin beef which was done in butter yaki style. looking at the pics make me wanna have the meal all over again....

o~chacha cafe

o~chacha cafe

need your fix of everything and anything green tea? then head on to o~chacha cafe at pavillion, kl!

i've read of the new green tea inspired outlet but has never gotten around to give it a visit as...
1) i dunno how to get to pavillion
2) i dunno how to go to kl
3) i dunno how to go to kl, thus i dunno how to go to pavillion

when we were at the mall last week looking for a dessert place, we passed by a japanese girl giving out free samples of their green tea ice blended and it sent us both straight to heaven. immediately we knew o~chacha was the answer to our quest-for-dessert.


o~chacha freezie (parched)- rm12.80


matcha azuki- rm9

pretty pricey for some green tea infused desserts but nevertheless a wonderful place to be for a quick green tea sweet tooth fix. the o~chacha freezie was totally brainfreezinglyummy™!

i know i'm so blessed

all my life i think i've been pretty blessed.

>> from kindergarten to primary school.

>>> secondary school to college and then uni.

>>>> and finally out of uni, looking for a job.

even before i finish uni, i've already secured a job with the 2nd largest bank in malaysia. but after a month, i left that job realizing what i've been doing in uni is not what i want to do with the rest of my life- numbers.

ironically, i got a 1st class in accounting, something that i only dare to dream of in sleep,
& university prizewinner for 'leadership skills' award,
& in the running to become the valedictorian.

& to top that off, i also won the presentation star search competition in college 2 weeks back. read JEN'S for full story.



am i not the luckiest girl on earth?

life is funny that way :-/

* now gimme my (dream)job!!

pasta de gohan #2

pasta de gohan pretty neat little decorations


mix fruits juice- rm4.80

squid and roe- rm23.80
with japanese style original cream sauce


lobster carbonara- rm33.80
with japanese style original cream sauce

we had rm78 worth of vouchers from our first visit and decided we should make full use of the vouchers by trying other items on the menu. another question that frequently haunt us is "what to order?"

i've already set my mind that i will not look at any items in the menu except "LOBSTER CARBONARA MUAHAHAHA" (ok i added the muahaha for 'effect'). calvin chose the squid and roe pasta.

to be honest, the pasta tasted great. not too creamy to make us 'jelak' and just right portions, but yet again i still find it way too pricey for a pasta. moreover the lobster was so tiny (with big head to deceive us all). sighs maybe the lobster that day was small body with big head (big brains too maybe? eat already damn smart one).

we didnt order any dessert this time as we were simply too stuffed. total bill was rm74 and i still got rm8 worth of vouchers. anybody wants?

la bodega #2 @ pavillion, kl

thinking of what to eat is such a headache. so, like many out there when we are haunted by this question, passing by any restaurants offering any kind of promotions/discounts does help us make a decision.

"Promotion: Choose any 4 Tapas, served with paella for two @ RM80++"

sounds like a pretty good deal!


foreground: iced mocha (coffee by illy caffe)- rm10
background: melon berry crush- rm16
this pretty, summer drink is refreshing and rehydrating. strawberries are thought to have calming properties.



caracoles cocidos al horno con salsa verde- rm20
baked snails with salsa verde


pincho de pescado con tomato dulce y salsa- rm18
fish kebab with sweet tomato & chili salsa



cordero de corteza dulce lomo corto- rm15
sweet crust lamb short loin



el pesto adobo alla de pollo con blancha- rm12
pesto marinated chicken wings with plancha



paella de codomiz- rm28 per pax (for a min of 2 persons)
spanish rice cooked in a paella with quail confit

everything was really good! delicious! delicioso! délicieux! squisito! okok i think you get the point :-p the absolute star winner was the pesto chicken wings, fish kebab and lamb short loin. the meat were really tender, fresh and the sauce was really bread-lickin'-good! the paella was alright, although the quail meat was very tender as well but there were so many little bones! at one time i ate a piece and made 20 trips to my mouth to pick out the bones! haha not kua cheong ok!

i think this is a pretty good la bodega promotion, if you notice the pricing above is the ala carte price. highly recommended! drinks are wee bit expensive though :(
