Chop! Chop!

I've never been a fan of chicken chop, well not till I tasted Bayu Timor's chicken chop with onion sauce. It was without a doubt delicious, and I've been sort of craving for it lately.

Dan and I ordered a lunch set (RM19.90++), which came with a mushroom soup and a slice of toasted garlic bread. The mushroom soup was extremely appetizing. The set also included a glass of ice tea.






I ordered an additional plate of cheesy french fries (RM4.90), which was a huge disappointment. The amount of cheese on the french fries was barely visible, and the fries were mushy and a tad oily.

I've also tried Secret Recipe's cheesy french fries, and its no different from this. Can't seem to find a place that serves really good cheesy french fries *sobs

Bayu Timor is located at Taman Megah. Its is adjacent to Famous Amos, and its in the same row as Secret Recipe. Their famously known for their asian cuisines, such as Nasi Lemak and their nyonya kuihs.

Beware!

My dad just got robbed this morning, around 7am.
He went to the Maybank Kawanku, located at Damansara Jaya - just few minutes from Atria Shopping Center to draw out some cash from the ATM machine.
He was alone, and when he was almost done with the withdrawal - he noticed a man with a motorcycle helmet on his head standing behind him.
The man in the helmet, held a knife to my dad's back - and asked my dad to withdraw more, since my dad only redrew RM100.
He also asked my dad for his car keys, in which he threw to the side.

Before my dad could redraw again, another civilian came into the center.
The robber panicked, and he quickly fled with his accomplice who was waiting outside on a motorcycle.
My dad tried to follow him, but he threatened my dad with the knife again.

Thankfully, my dad and the other civilian wasn't harm in anyway.
My advice to all is to NOT visit any ATM centers during EARLY MORNINGS and at NIGHT.
I know it is most convenient during those times, because there are hardly or fewer people around - more parkings available, no long queues etc.
But your life is not worth sacrificing over these few insignificant conveniences.
And please be always aware of your surroundings.

P.S. Dan, no more late night banking for you, promise? I love you too much, and don't make me worry ok?

Goreng-goreng

There's plenty of road-side stalls that sells the traditional pisang goreng, along with most Malaysian's favourite snacks - such as kuih bom, keropok lekor etc.
I've tried many, but one stall that always leaves me coming back for more its a stall that's located between Taman Desa and Taman Danau Desa.
I love their pisang goreng! RM1.00 for 6 pieces. Believe me, 6 isn't enough. The banana is lightly coated with flour, and fried golden. The bananas are always sweet and never too over riped.

Cokodok! These round-babies are heavenly! Its not too floury like the ones you get from other stalls. You can really taste the bananas. Its crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The best I've tasted so far. RM1.00 for 8 round babies!

Keropok lekor is sliced thinly, hence its really crunchy. They've the thick ones too, but I've always prefer crispyness to chewyness. Sadly, the chili sauce that comes with it - isn't up to par. The sauce is very diluted/watery. RM1.oo for many pieces, never bothered to count haha

The stall is just walking distance from my condo in Taman Desa, so if anyone ever drops by for a visit - do let me know in advanced, and I'll tapau these goodies for you to savour :)

Would love to have them again, but I've been diagnosed with chronic diarrhea - hence I would have to abstain from all the mouth-watering fried and oily food, at least till my stool sample results are out :(
Hopefully it isn't anything serious

Tong Kee Egg Tarts

I've heard many review of these lovely yellow tarts, but I only had the opportunity of savouring them just recently.
I was blessed with these yummylicious goodies for FREE, due to a simple good deed that I did for a friend :D
Their the best egg tarts I've tasted in years. Its sweetness is pleasant, and not overwhelming - and the thickness and crispiness of the pastry is just right.
My friend bought 1/2 a dozen of 'em for me from the Sri Petaling branch, and it was packed nicely in a hard paper box.
Each tart cost only RM1.40. A very small price to pay for a delicious yellow tart.

Pizza at Alexis Ampang

The pizza that I've been constantly raving about has finally landed a spot on my blog. Yay! haha
Dan and I love Alexis Bistro, Ampang's pizzas.
We're not sure if the other branches taste as good, but we do know that the ones in Ampang is simply heavenly.

This time round, I invited a good friend of mine Spunkz to savour the mouth-watering pizza with Dan and I.
We ordered the seafood pizza, which cost RM39.90 ++
Its crust is thin and crunchy, and the pizza is generously topped with seafood; mussels, prawns and squids. You'll love and enjoy every bite of it :D

We decided to order a dessert to complete our meal, as Alexis is also known for their scrumptious cakes. We had Pavlova. A very light non-filling dessert, that has lots of berries and kiwi toppings. A somewhat healthy desert, suitable for the health-conscious.
The pavlova cost RM10++.

Btw, Alexis Bistro is located within Great Eastern Mall. Map can be easily found online. In addition to that, if you're not a seafood fan - the peperoni pizza would be the next best option :)

Girlie Rants Part 2

I'm slightly gemuk already, particularly the lower half of my body.
Too much snacking at work.
I've less than 2 months to achieve my ideal bod - before my final gown fitting, which would most likely be around early of June - and I'm not making any progress towards my goal.
I'm slacking gila..

Mum keeps telling me not to lose anymore, Dan said I just need to tone-up and exercise more - which I haven't been doing, cause I'm usually so dead tired from work (from carrying heavy boxes of drugs and medications).

I feel so unmotivated, partially due to the fact that I know I'm not gemuk - but it doesn't excuse me from not exercising. I know I should, because I've been falling ill so easily and I need to toughen-up my immune system. I definitely do not want to be ill on my wedding day.

I'm not sure where exactly am I heading with this post, but its basically pure ranting. I just need to be more motivated and initiative in every aspect of my life - Am I taking things way too easy or am I stressing up?

I think I'm going nuts..

This post makes me sound so bimbo-ish O_O
