LOVE LIFE, CHERISH MOMENTS

   It's Friday yo! The haze had cleared and we finally can enjoy bright sun and blue sky! So to everyone, lets grab your sunglasses and off we go to enjoy a hearty brunch on Saturday morning. Today it's all about a new found place near my house which serves great breakfast and coffee. Enjoy~

   2 weeks ago, Chloe brought us to J &D Espresso, located in Oasis Business Center in Bandar Utama 11. Chloe is a friend of mine who happens to love coffee and cakes and cafe, just like me. Too bad she's back in KK now, or else i'll go 'kacau' her everyday to bring me out for cafe hunting. LOL. Well, J & D is rather new in the neighbourhood, started off last year, playing a major role in bringing great coffee to the community. We were greeted by a few warm and friendly staffs, which are also Chloe's friends. The interior of the cafe is modern, sleek and bright. It kinda reminds me of cafes in Melbourne which i miss so much!

   All three of us went for the popular Australian Breakfast which comprised of 2 eggs of any styles, baked beans, bacon, sausage, hash brown, mushrooms, baked cherry tomatoes and a piece of lovely homemade toast. Coffee is a MUST for brunch, hence, we got ourselves 2 cappuccino and 1 latte. The Australian breakfast was quite satisfying, everything was well cooked and looked good too. Our coffee was superb, the coffee beans they used tasted earthy which i seldom find elsewhere. I love how the coffee artist here gave all 3 of us different coffee art, made me feel special. LOL.

Australian Breakfast--RM 19

You can choose how to do your eggs: sunny side up, poached, scrambled, well done.

Latte--RM 6

Cappuccino--RM 6

loving the flower on my cappuccino~

   We also ordered some sweet stuff to end our scrumptious brunch. Chloe suggested French Toast and below is another dish that i ordered when i visited them for the second time: Banana Pancake dressed with strawberries and butterscotch sauce. Both were nicely done, not too sweet, just nice for my palate. French toast was a bit soggy, i personally prefer the pancakes as they were very fluffy and fragrant.

Banana Pancake dressed with Strawberries and Butterscotch sauce--RM 15

   I definitely love everything here, from the food to the coffee to the ambiance to the friendly staffs. The pricing is slightly below market's average, around RM 25 per person. This place is very suitable for those who want to enjoy a cuppa or meet up with friends and family in a serene environment. Besides, i notice there was also many working people spending time doing their job on their PC or have a meeting here. Conclusion, this will be a cafe that i would visit again! Hopefully this post is helpful for you who need a new hang out place on Saturday morning! xoxo

   Good day readers, or should i say, gloomy day? Well, i'm sure most of you are aware of Malaysia's current situation--the hazardous haze attack! Thanks to our dear neighbour. I hope everyone is taking proper safety precautions. Please stay indoor if you can, drink lots of water, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to boost up your immune system. If you have to go out, make sure you wear a mask and try to stay away from the road. Anyway, this post is all about Nitrogen ice-cream that i tried out few weeks ago, and hopefully this will chill you guys down a little bit.

   Few weeks ago, i went to N Brew Nitrogen Ice-Cream in Mid Valley. As you can see from the post title: 'N' stands for nitrogen. It was my first time trying out nitrogen ice-cream so i was like super excited! Nitrogen ice-cream is basically ice-cream made from some special ingredients but frozen in mere minutes by mixing with liquid nitrogen. The cooling process is so fast compared to the conventional way where you have to mix the cream forever to get the perfect consistency. This is the new way of eating ice-cream and of course, as a foodie, i have got to try it out myself!


   N Brew first started their business in e@Curve few months ago, this is one of their branches in Klang Valley. When comes to Nitrogen ice-cream, of course i have to try out some unique flavors which we don't get to try everyday. Hence, i picked up Gula Melaka Avocado and Creme Brulee to share among the 3 of us.
 

Creme Brulee

Gula Melaka Avocado

   Each flavor comes in 2 scoops with wafer beneath. Well i love the consistency of nitrogen ice-cream here. It is somehow a little bit firmer and creamier than normal ice-cream. It is also more heat-tolerant, in other words, not so easily melted. I love the creme brulee top with some caramel sauce. It wasn't too sweet and i could taste some vanilla seeds inside, means they used natural ingredients to make their ice-cream. Thumbs up* I wasn't impressed by the Gula Melaka Avocado as i find it a bit too hard, perhaps they poured in too much liquid nitrogen? The gula melaka essence also severely lacked, i could only taste the mild avocado. 

These are actually their pre-mixed ice-cream in conical flasks

Beaker and test tubes, how i miss you!!

Cool huh?

   Two weeks ago, i went to Teeq Brasserie on the roof top of Lot 10 building along with Laine and Sarina before us girls headed to shop in Bukit Bintang area. It was not until after Ms Zheng's recommendation, only i know that there is this amazing hideout place in KL city. It is not hard to locate. Just take a lift up, opposite from H & M store till the highest floor. Turn left and walk along the corridor. You will see a rooftop garden and Teeq Restaurant is just beside the garden.

our orange juice

Complimentary fresh bread with olive oil and vinegar dip to wash our palate.

Our Smoked Barbecue Chicken Chop with mashed potato and vege.

Teeq's Signature Fish & Chips.

   We both love our chicken chop as it was well cooked, the meat was juicy, flavorful and succulent. I especially love their mashed as it was very unique and not heavy at all. Laine's Fish & Chips was surprisingly fresh and crispy. It was not like the ordinary dory fish you have elsewhere. The tartar sauce blended everything in perfectly.

your blogger with food

   Good morning Earth people! It is sad to say that your blogger has fell sick recently. It is just a common cold but i am really down cause it means no more good food or cool drinks and i couldn't smell anything either. Falling sick sucks till max yo! I guess that's because i've been having to much fun all week, every day since my finals was over and i did not get enough sleep. Hence, i have to sleep early and stuck with baby food for now. Sigh.

   Anyway, today i'm gonna write about my trip to myBurger Lab last week with my uni peeps. As some of you might know, i've promised you to write about myBurger Lab since last year in my post on Fat Boy, you can check it out here.

their famous charcoal bun!

   My Burger Lab is a local burger shop in Petaling Jaya that has started off last year, July and immediately became a popular culture swiping across the whole Klang Valley. Since then, the burger culture has started and it is here to stay! My Burger Lab is said to be one of the pilot and the head of this culture, plus his collaboration with various local You Tube stars like JinnyBoy TV and more. The peculiar thing about this famous burger shop is that it only opens at 5pm each day (except Monday) and there is no other branches, only the first and only in Sea Park. Hence, before it even open, the queue is already there. We reached there at 5.50pm, and the queue was this long.

crazy crowd at 5.50pm

LOL notice the staff looking at the camera yo~

oopsie..tip box..no offence to JB or his fans!

  As you can see from the menu above, The Beautiful Mess 5.0 is actually a burger constructed with fried portabellas, sunny side up egg, sharp cheddar cheese, beef patty all sandwiched in betwwen the nicely-prepared charcoal bun. I find it so diversely-tasting, all the flavors was spot on, and the sauce managed to combine all the fresh ingredients together, making the little charcoal burger so memorable. The A+ chicken burger consists of cheddar cheese, caramalised onions, shiitake and enoki mushrooms with chicken patty and charcoal bun. Sarina loves it very much as well.

you can also add on to make it a set with fries and free-flow drinks!

happy me!!!

   Overall, i find the burgers here very special but might be a little over-rated. I can get burgers with that standard at other places too without having to go through the long waiting time and squeeze with so many people. However, the good point here is the very unique interior, friendly and helpful staffs. You would never find such a place anywhere else. The pricing wise is average, around RM 20 per person. For our Malay friends, don't worry, this place is halal too. If you are looking for great time with friends and don't mind the wait this might be the right place for you. xoxo.

LOL, it's the toilet

in front of the mirror~

   Hi everyone, this will be a quick update on my second week of holiday after coming back from my shopping haul in Bangkok. I'll write.more about the trip in the future. So here is something light for you. It's just a few coffee shots i took during these few days. I and some uni friends went cafe hopping again to indulge in some caffeine goodness and wow, they were epicly crafted and amazingly unforgettable. Well, stay tuned for more happening posts and stories. xoxo.

   As Katy Perry sings:"Last friday night, yeah we maxed our credit cards, and got kicked out of the bar, so we hit the boulevard...". Well, my last Friday night was pretty much like that, we got broke for ordering so many cocktails, we drank, drunk and got so hype and danced like nobody's business. That was my graduation night on Heli Lounge Bar, Menara KH, Kuala Lumpur.



   Many of you might wonder what is Heli Lounge? Basically, it s a lounge/bar with the theme of aircraft and the concept of helipad. The interior of this lounge fully utilized the parts of an aircraft. Besides, it also has this special attraction where party people can access to the rooftop of this building, which was previously a helipad and continue their party up there. Sounds cool right? I am so glad that we chose this hipster location to organize our batch's graduation dinner, it was indeed a night to remember.
