153 days...

It has been exactly 153 days also half a year since I last blogged. 
Lots have happened also have been over and have moved on... 

I was home...
I was in KL...
I was in Seoul...
I was in Busan...
I was in Medan...
I was Home, then Medan...
& Home again... 

And...

I waited for 257 days for an opportunity...
I was given one, gave in, yet been thrown...

And...

I am caught in my comfort zone...
I gave up and look for another nearby opportunity...
So, I decided even dilemma hits...

Even if...
I may turn out to be handicapped if its uncontrolled

it's March now!! 
What's gonna happened...

Will I come out from this F zone... 

A mere thought that left me a question mark day by day...
or a long period of time...

Din Tai Fung - Sivercord, HK

I went to HK twice this year and both times my aunt would ask me to go eat at Din Tai Fung,
you know how good it is when the elders want you to eat it right!

I'm at the same side as them when I tried the ones in KL,
I thought the quality of food and services would be the same but it was quite different hmph!

Noodles with Scallions, the noodles were good but too oily :(
Also, one of my instagram friend said the one in Shanghai is ze best, so I asked my aunt and cousin,
they said Noooh, the one in HK is ze best so I'm in dilemma now haha!

Anyway HK is way better than KL since I tried this two places,
I skipped the one in Jakarta when my aunts and mom had lunch in Grand Indonesia branch.
It serves halal food, of cos the well known xiao long bao would be #OHSUCKS

Last but not least, I exercise to eat, so head to gym or exercise at home peeps
I don't do gym for losing weight or building muscles only but to EAT (top priority)


Ciao, lies!

Angry Korean BBQ, Medan

Back in April (overdue post tsktsktsk), I had the chance to try first non-halal Korean bbq in Medan, cos they were very rare or maybe no Korean bbq restaurant in Medan or maybe I never found them *facepalm.. 

It just opened after a week or two when I tried it, menus were limited and taste was average
(not like the ones I had in KL lolz)




Oh yeah, don't expect any side dishes as how usual Korean shops prepared,

PS: this review based on April 2013, after I checked their instagram, they have upgraded many stuffs, thumbs up!

After all, it's better than nothing lol! Go & have a try, some may say its #OHSOGOOOD :)

Ciao, lies!

Holly Brown, Awfully chocolate & Espressamente illy K11

 Aloha September 

The reason we went to K11 was for the limited edition Air Jordan shoes that my cousin was looking for but they don't have it asdfghjkl!

So we went for Holly Brown, cos I saw the adv on the thick honey toast,
the moment I saw it, saliva dropping (at that time, I saw many people posted on thick toast yet no chance to give it a try, the one I tried at nearby, it was suck!) but this one #OHSOGOOOD

Holly Brown

Holly Brown
As usual I'm an affogato addicts

Honey Toast Strawberry Sweetheart
 As cousin went to see watches with friend, me with his wife and kid went to eattt again haha!

Awfully chocolate
Brownies
Then headed to Espressamente illy, it was #OHSOGOOOD

Espressamente illy
Spaghetti mushroom truffle thumbs up!

Affogato, not a good one, the proportion wasn't right :(

Iced latte
I think it was at harbour view, when I saw this Godiva shop at the LG, and tried the caramel chocolate!
asdfghjkl #OHSOGOOD, I regretted that I bought one only sobs :(


Btw K11 architecture is so unique yet confusing, very artistic :)

Capital café 華星冰室, HK

Since I'm in the mood of blogging, why not write more for drafts haha!

Apparently, this capital café appeared in NYtimes after I googled, whee!


I tried the ones located in Mong kok, had their most recommended menus :)


Toast w/ scrambled egg
 Their scrambled egg is very famous cos it makes from Hokkaido milk, many HK restaurant uses Hokkaido milk, like in the article, the chef said it mostly depends on the chef skills, no matter what the ingredients are, TRUE!

Macaroni soup

Nissin noodles w/ tomato soup and pork chop

Black truffle toast
Overall, I find it average and the scrambled egg was slightly above average, the black truffle toast was kinda weird, but it was a good experience (also expensive ones haha!)

Ciao  lies!

Ippudo, Paul Lafayet & Agnès b le pain grillé, HK

I guess its kind of a habit to apologise in the beginning of every post now and then after MIA-ing for months lolol! but
Aloha end of August, maybe the next post will be hello October hahaha!

Now I don't even know what to post about cos I updated most of it through my instagram hihi!

So everyone was raving bout this famous ramen shop on and on, like in spore and KL ( if I wasn't wrong), so I was curious. Back in HK, I met up with Candy, she wanted to try this ramen shop in Silvercord but didn't know the name, then I saw it and ahaaaks, its the one people raved about, queue for 5-10 mins and finally our turns... 






I was totally melted for the eggs, if only I didn't keep some spaces in my stomach for my next stop (obviously its dessert), I would have ordered another 2-3 soft boiled eggs! darn! Overall, I don't know hows the one in Spore or KL, but HK's Ippudo was #OHSOGOOOD in comparison to other ramen shops that I visited recently!

Next stop, bought Paul Lafayet & Agnès b le pain grillé for desserts,
sit in city super cos it was quite late and most stores started to close... 

Jasmine Lemon
 Love it max, I usually don't take desserts which are too sweet or too sour, but this is perfect and its very unique taste, it has kinda chewy stuff inside like a jelly and really smooth =D

Hazelnut cake (should sound more glamorous :p)
Unfortunately this was too sweet for me (hazelnut cake usually meant to be very sweet, if you are not a fans of sweetness, please avoid ordering anything related to hazelnut). But it was very smooth!

Vanille
It's a millefeuille if I wasn't wrong, I wasn't into any millefeuille after I tasted few in Jakarta, but this one is #OHSOGOOOD, it has many layers and kind of solid compared to others and the fillings were just nice!

Melanie
Its something like brownie and top with cocoa powder with layers of choc too :)

Chloé
It has hazelnut on it (very obvious the nut is in the middle haha!)
Prefer this compared to Paul Lafayet's :)


Everything were good except, if you are a food lover, I recommend to put these stores in your list other than Pierre Hermé or Laduree (tbh, I don't like Laduree HK, cos of the tastes and services) haha!

Ciao, lies!
