This is one of my favorite ice cream. It’s cute and at the right size. Just pop it into your mouth and bliss!
Chocolate flavor
This Japanese brand ice cream comes in many flavors. I’ve tried mint, chocolate and tea. Yeah tea flavor! All 3 is yummylicious. I especially liked the mint flavor though.
Tea Flavor
If i’m not mistaken normal price would be RM6+ but now Shojikiya is having a promotion whereby 2 box is priced at RM9.90.
Each box contains 6 adorable ice cream cubes.
Adorable 6
Other items such as Meiji’s Panda Biscuit and wasabi nuts are also at promotional price at Shijokiya. I’m not sure when does it end so go and check it out yourself :P.

After a whole day of cleaning, our body just won’t function anymore. Our stomach were on strike! It was Merdeka Day and we didn’t feel like celebrating with local food (that’s us being patriotic wakaka!). We decided it was time for some Japanese food… yet again. LOL!.
Appetizer
After googling for a decent place to enjoy Japanese cuisine, we head on to Sri Hartamas. Hartamas Shopping Centre is the place we routinely go nowadays to avoid the traffic and crowd. Love the place because of the many, many good eateries and because it’s not packed with people most of the time.
Hokkaido Roll
Izakaya Ichiban is actually located at Hartamas Shopping Centre. At ground floor, near Starbucks and Bagel Station. The place is chic and comfortable. We were immediately seated although i must say it is best to make reservation like the many other patrons. The place could be really full during weekends.
The saba appetizer was delicious.
Wagyu Sukiyaki Set
Because we were so dead hungry, we didn’t find out the popular dishes from the food blog that we read. We just took the address and sped to Hartamas. -_-”.
We just ordered whatever that looked good on the menu. The Hokkaido Roll was excellent. It’s a little expensive but totally worth it. It’s actually salmon roll with salmon roe and sea urchin. That explains the price.
However, i think the Wagyu Sukiyaki Set is a bit too expensive. It taste alright. Nothing special. Just like any other hot pot. Made me miss Nagomi Shabu Shabu so much.
Hot pot
Wagyu beef
Hokkaido Roll - RM35.00
Wagyu Sukiyaki Set - RM45.00
Total: RM88.00 (RM80.00 + RM8.00 - service)

Charms Cafe is one of my favorite outlet for Asian delicacies in I Utama. First because of it’s pretty interior of colorful lamps, flowery wall murals and the big Indian style swing. It looks very Bohemian to me.
Bohemian feel interior
Second because of it’s good fusion of East and West food. Each time i past by this cafe, the fragrant and aroma doesn’t fails to tempt me.
Colorful lamps
I must admit that the nice food presentation is also quite an attraction.
Crafty menu
Charms have the best ginger milk tea (Teh Halia) ever. It’s milky and aromatic. Not overly sweet which is a bonus. I really have a phobia ordering “lai char” (milk tea) anywhere because no one seems to under stand what is “kurang manis” (less sweet)!
Ginger Milk Tea
Another reason i love this place is because it offers local dishes with a twist. Instead of normal Asian cuisine, some of the dishes on the menu are prepared differently from the norm. The last time we were here we had the Fried Cantonese Mee which was superb. This time we had the Fried Chee Cheong Fun. It taste a little like Fried Kuey Tiaw Mee but with less oil and it’s not as aromatic. But doesn’t meant that it’s less tasty or less enjoyable. The chee cheong fun being soft and smooth kind of balance out the taste. Very nice.
Fried Chee Cheong Fun
The Dry Pan Mee is equally good. Not spectacular but still good. Instead of the normal flat noodle, they used string shaped noodle. The dish also comes with soup on the side.
Dry Pan Mee
My favorite though is the Fried Tau Foo Pok. Ok, i just realized that we ordered everything fried LOL. Anyways, the tau foo pok is fried together with salty eggs among other ingredients making it crispy, sweet and little salty at the same time. This is a must try.
Fried Tau Foo Pok
Fried Tau Foo Pok - RM7.90
Fried Chee Cheong Fun - RM8.90
Dry Pan Mee with Soup - RM8.90
Chinese tea - RM1.50
Teh Halia (Ginger Milk Tea) - RM4.00
Total: RM30.90 (RM31.20 + RM2.81->service charge + 10% discount)

I had no idea Ampang Park is so crowded even on weekends when most offices nearby are closed for the second half of the day. Maybe because Raya is coming soon. I see that the many (many is an understatement) shops selling Malay clothes are doing well.
We happened to be there to pick up the oil painting. We finally got it framed. *happy! Besides many eatery shops, we he found a shop that charge a reasonable price for framing. It only cost RM180 here while other shops are charging RM300 aprox. That’s like RM100++ difference!
Cozy House interior
Anyways, by the time we picked up the painting it was already dinner time. It was either Cozy Corner or Cozy House for dinner. I picked Cozy House because i visited Cozy Corner before. It’s funny because i read in some blogs/forum that Cozy House and Cozy Corner is actually the same. That they had replaced the word “Corner” with “House”. It’s not true at all. It’s 2 separate restaurants. I guess it’s confusing since it’s at the same row of shops.
While Cozy Corner is a more classy restaurant with romantic ambiance, serving Western and local food, Cozy House is a more of a common day eatery with less flare (i heard it’s newly renovated) serving mostly local food.
Beef Curry with Rice
Cozy House have pretty decent beef curry. The beef is quite tender and not musky at all. Not bad.
Huge Chicken Chop
The Chicken Chop was alright too.
I have no idea how people can finish the whole peace of chicken chop. It’s so huge regardless of which restaurant or shop. Half way through it and i’m ready to scream LOL.
Tom Yam Soup
The Seafood Tom Yam Soup however is really not worth it. For RM8.50 i could get better ones. Although the portion is big, they were stingy on the seafood was. 3 or 4 tiny shrimps and few teeny weeny pieces of cuttle fish considered as seafood ar??.
Nevertheless, i think it’s worth another visit for it’s good service and decent food. Our food arrived in no time at all.
Tom Yam Soup - RM8.50
Beef Curry with Rice - RM7.50
Chicken Chop - RM13.90
Sour Plum Lime Juice - RM3.50
Total: RM35.05 (RM33.90 + RM1.67 - Service Charge)
*Sky Juice - FOC (Refillable)

Ok. Both Mr. Boyfriend and i had been meaning to eat at Meng Kee for quite some time now. Mr. Boyfriend was raving about their fantastic char siew (BBQ pork), possibly the best in KL. People had been reviewing about this place for years. Being the outdated me, i have not even tried the char siew at this joint.
Unfortunately, each time we were around Bukit Bintang area, the place is either closed for business, buzzing over packed with hungry patrons or they had run out of char siew. Well, i guess that shows how famous this shop is hor.
Meng Kee’s Char Siew
We however finally found our way into the shop last weekend. We were running late because there’s only limited char siew left. I find the char siew just so-so. It was decent and the charred skin was nice but not as good as i had expected (given all the positive review). Have the quality dropped or have my taste bud gone crazy? Mr. Boyfriend also admitted that it doesn’t taste as good as before. Hmmm… maybe we came a little late so the good ones were sold already?
Just the char siew and 2 plate of rice cost about RM12.00.

Just the other day i there was a year 2005 show on TV titled Racing Stripes. It was about an abandon zebra that believed he was a racehorse. The movie was pretty cheesy but it hit me how big and how exciting horse racing is. Just the adrenaline of watching the horse race is enough to make anyone a die hard fan.
Apparently horse racing is pretty big in Australia. They even have a website called Punters Paradise dedicated for horse racing. Punters Paradise is an ultimate social networking site for fans of horse racing. The website offers all kinds of information such as daily reports and the latest horse racing news, betting tips and info, a horse racing forum and others.
With the Melbourne Cup (Australia’s major annual thoroughbred horse race) coming this November, it’s hard not to get excited. After all it is regarded as the most prestigious “two-mile” handicap in the world. The event is held on the first Tuesday in November by the Victoria Racing Club in Melbourne. I bet Punters Paradise have all the juicy news for the grand event.

It was on the day Lee Chong Wei was going to defend the Olympic Gold medal, so we venture into the nearest shop available for a quick dinner. Conveniently, Kopitiam Hainam Village is just opposite the Menjalara Condo.
Hainanese Chicken Chop
He had the Hainanese Fried Chicken Chop with Rice and a Special Cendol. The chicken chop was pretty good. Very sweet and tender as predicted. After all, the chicken chop is quite popular in Hainanese Cuisine right?
The cendol however was a disappointment. Tasted like diluted sugar water. The cendol ingredient was little too. Why is it that restaurants’ and shops’ cendol never seems to taste as good as the road site stalls’ cendols? Hmmm…
Special Cendol
Anyways, i had the Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun which is alright. But i would have liked it more if there were more fried onions. LOL. I still think KLCC’s hor fun is the best. *wakaka!
Hor Fun
My favorite is the White Coffee. Superb.
Superb White Coffee
The kopitiam is actually a nice place to enjoy a meal. The place is not crowded at all. Service is excellent. Food were delivered pretty quick. Although the food is just alright, the price is not too expensive. They even have set meals for RM9.90 per person that includes soup and 3 or 4 main dish plus rice. Pretty good deal i must say.
Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun - RM5.50
Fried Chicken Chop With Rice - RM6.50
Hainam Village White Coffee - RM2.50
Special Cendol - RM3.80
Mineral water - RM0.50
Total: RM19.74 (RM18.80 + RM0.94 - service)

A while back i was obsessively playing a cooking game. It’s call the Burger Shop whereby to win, i needed to serve as many of my burger shop’s patrons in a given time. I was super fun and i was addicted! I think i might as well work for a real burger shop because my scores were excellent. No picky customers could slow me down. I might even get to be the employee of the month! Haha.
Speaking about Cooking Games, i just found out about an Online Cooking Games website that offers a pretty wide selection of flash cooking games. There are a few that caught my interest. For example, the Sponge Bob Pizza Toss. I love Sponge Bob! But i’ve got to admit this game is not as easy as it sound. It’s really difficult to run down the road with a pizza in hand, avoiding collision while hand tossing the pizza! I am still having a hell of a challenging time maneuvering around Bikini’s Bottom.
Another one of my favorite from this website is the Hot Dog Bush. This game is darn hilarious! It’s about George ‘Dubya’ Bush’s (which actually resembles the real George Bush, as the name suggested) first day at work at the hot dog joint.
I’m supposed to help him earn his living by serving hot dogs to customers. It’s actually similar to the Burger Shop game that i played previously but i can’t resist helping George. The first time i tried this cooking and food preparation game, i earn zero money. That’s because i forgot to collect payment. Haha! Anyways there are a few mode (hot dog joint locations) to choose from such as the Bronx, Time Square, Yankees Stadium and Wall Street. Each modes have several level of difficulties. I hope George will do a better job this time!
Right now i can’t wait to start playing again. Care to join me on some Food Cooking Games fun?
