Life Is Uncertain, Eat Dessert First

Ernestine Ulmer, a little-known but much-quoted writer, was once said Life is uncertain, eat dessert first . I like this quote for unknowing reason.  last month Jean, Low, Uncle Nyang and I went to S'pore Bugis to have a Chinese-New-Year-shopping. Jean parked the car in Bugis Junction, then we walked to somewhere (you see... I'm in ignorance 'bout the streets. ) to buy an apple pie. the apple pie is strongly recommended by Jean and Low.  by looking at the brownish layer, it reminds me of roasted pig. This is not the McD apple pie. This apple pie is a classic, from the scrumptious filling to the flaky crisp brown crust.  sorry of this disgusting photo. But I really want to show the readers that how scrumptious the filling is inside the pie. Apparently the pie is filled with well-cooked apple. And I am simply cannot help remarking its cream usage. Not too much and yet not too little. The serve was so right as the pie did not tasted greasy at all. we shared the appl...

ali cafe

I have no idea what is the relationship between Raymond Lam and ali. Both of them seems to be the most loyal supporters of Alicafé. by glancing at the exterior design, I felt a sudden urge to explore the cafe. The spirit was brighten up right at that point of time. seeing is believing. Both interior and exterior designs are indeed superb. I am so regretted that I did not bring the camera there to capture the atmosphere in photograph. Luckily I am not the only one who blog 'bout it. Someone has did it before me. nowadays, a unique menu is as important as the food and drink in a cafe. And I think Ali Cafe has successfully did it. with the freaking local jargons and description, the menu reminded me that it is so Malaysia.  from the menu, everything looked so nice and attractive. However the images are truly for display purposes only. Let us see the differences. well... sorry about the poor lighting photo. It was taken with mobile phone camera. Did not make a ...

Tian Yuan(甜元糖水小吃店)

never ask me what makes me so hard to update the bloggie in this year. I wish to know too. Apparently being busy is just another inexcusable excuse. You and I are busy all the time. And the whole world population too. But... the only difference between you and I is that how good we are in managing the time. And obviously I am the weakest in the matter of time management. Still... who cares? months ago (I think is on September), I was given a chance to drive to Taman Universiti with 2 colleagues. Although the elder brother was graduated from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), but that was the very first time I visited the town, other than the university compound itself. And frankly speaking, without the colleagues, I am fairly sure that I would not be able to get there again, unless someone else knows the right path or a GPS is sponsored to me. That said. It might be the last time of visiting the town of Taman Universiti. Tian Yuan(甜元糖水小吃店), a dessert shop which located in Tam...

Gianni's Trattoria Restaurant & Cafe

dear bloggie , life without you... SUCKS! and dear faithfully readers, I miss you guys just as how badly you guys are missing me too. hohoho... apparently the seemingly never-ending work is still waiting for me to accomplish it. However, I just cannot tehen anymore. I miss bloggie so badly. Just try to understand a concept: how could we ask a writer not to write, or a singer not to sing? Now you might understand how I feel when I was unable to blog while I intended to that much. So I decided to take the risk. The risk of unable to complete the work in time. ++" last Sunday, hardly the Pelangians had a gathering with one of the long-lost friend, Sin Yee at Gianni's Trattoria Restaurant & Cafe . It is an Italian restaurant which caught my attention, so I decided to hold an event at there. Sin Yee, Jia Hui, Tze Wei and I reached at around 1230 hours. Only God knew how famished I was since I had not eaten started from Saturday afternoon till then. So I just could not ...

IT ROO Cafe

IT ROO is an old-established cafe kopitiam amongst the locals. I think almost every JB-ian knows IT ROO for their specialty fried chicken chop. It is located at Jalan Dhoby, just right behind the That's Cafe . I was "accidentally" knowing that the fried chicken chop is their signature dish, so I decided to give it a try. I was attempted to try the dish on Labor Day, but only God knows they were not doing their business on that day. last weekend I got the chance to try the dish at last. With Jia Hui and Se Xun. three simple menus were presented to us upon our arrival. The award-winning (the best chicken chop in town voted by The Star) chicken chop is the first item on the menu. The menu is ranging from Western dishes, Chinese dishes, variety of noodles, soups and sandwiches, drinks and desserts. Jia Hui and I ordered two sets of Fried Chicken Chop in Mushroom Sauce while Se Xun ordered a set of Grilled Chicken Chop in Black Pepper Sauce. Both types of chicken chop ...
