#105 Ben's and The Daily Grind @ Bangsar Shopping Centre

Here I am, wishing y'all a Happy New Year! Happy 2015 everyone! Another year has come and let's make the best out of it. I really do wish that this year will be another amazing year for all of us. Treasure the little things and be appreciative. Stop the whines, stop the "forever wanting more". Take a moment to realize all the good people and things around you and appreciate every beautiful moments. Leave the past behind, whatever happened in 2014 remains in 2014. Start new, start fresh! 

Let's just say I tend to forget things very easily sometimes and I missed out on this post. Anyhoo, allow me to share with you guys 'bout where I went with my besties on my birthday eve. So we headed to Ben's and The Daily Grind on my birthday eve.

What went into our tummies:

Complimentary crab-salad.

My all time favourite nutella shake and my girlfriends loved it, too.

Chicken mushroom pie.

Mushroom pizza.

Maybe it's just me or the cheese just didn't go well with the mushrooms. Idk. I loathe the taste and the smell of it. It was almost unpleasant to me. My girlfriends agreed that it didn't taste good too so perhaps it's the wrong combination, or we simply do not know how to savour this.

With Adeline ;)

Headed over to The Daily Grind for some  waffles after a 30 minutes interval from our dinner @ The Ben's.

I always tell my friends and family of how good these waffles taste and I insisted to bring them there someday to try it out themselves. Well, they loved it as much as I did! hahah. This is by far the best old-fashioned waffles I ever had.

Look at the generous amount of strawberries they give! Mm mm..

I always request for chocolate syrup instead of their usual maple syrup albeit you'll be charged an additional of RM3 (if i'm not mistaken). I wouldn't mind forking out an additional of RM3 because i'm more of a "chocolate person" instead of a "maple / butterscotch person". Well, what about you? ;) Which would you prefer?

With JinMay ;)

It was a great pre-birthday night out and I am more than thankful to have these beautiful angels in my life. Always making sure to pamper me as much as they can during my birthday and make it as memorable as it could go.

& once again, Happy 2015 peeps! 'till then.

#84 Inside Scoop @ Bangsar, Telawi

No way anyone would turn down ice-cream, or at least for the people around me and myself. I will never say no to ice-cream, be it McD's RM1 ice-cream sundae cone or a cup of Haagen Dazs or even better, to have it topped on good, yield light waffles that stay crisp. I made my way to Inside Scoop @ Telawi with my girls after brunch.

Hail to that!

I've passed by Inside Scoop several times whenever I stroll down bangsar telawi street but never once did I thought of giving it a try until Chermaine suggested to, and it isn't a let down.

I hope you guys get to read the menu here and have a rough idea on what Inside Scoop serves. Do take note that they don't have a proper menu. That blackboard above is their menu. So do place your order before you get yourself seated.

If only they serve green tea ice-cream then this would be one of my favourites dining place.

Water is on the house. Feel free to grab yourself a cup.

Interesting..

My girls and I were bloated from the Indian banana leaves rice that we had in Devi's Corner so we ordered waffles with double scoops of ice-cream to share. We chose strawberry sorbet and chocolate valrhona ice-cream.

I'm giving an honest verdict to this plate of goodness an 8/10. For it's light but crispy waffles topped off with flavourful scoops of ice-cream. I don't know if I should call it gelato 'cause it tastes somewhere in between ice-cream and gelato. I guess you guys could do some survey about Inside Scoop to find out if they're actually ice-cream or gelato :)

Look at my silly friends while I was trying to take an artistic picture LOL

Anyway, glad that I took some time out to update. Half a year passed by so quickly. I couldn't believe my short semester break has come to an end. Classes are resuming tomorrow soooo, hello to more workload at uni! T.T 'till then.

#83 Inside Scoop

I've been so busy with the workload in uni and as a freelancer. Trying to cope and maintain my grades while I work as a part-timer. Will be back with further updates on Inside Scoop once i'm done with all of my assignments and tests this week ay. stay tuned readers!

#80 Vday @ Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf

#OOTN

It has been long since I last posted an OOTD picture of myself so here's one.

Cut-out bralet from Le_Spice on instagram, skater skirt from VintageRunaway on instagram, handbag from GUESS, arm-candy from Pandora, BowerHaus and Bonia, and I was wearing a necklace so despite not being obvious in the picture i'll still state it; sapphire gem stone necklace from Thomas Sabo anddd a pair of black wedges from TSC.

& here is to a short post 'cause I have delayed this post far too long. It was on Valentine's night itself when babylove brought me all the way to Bangsar for dinner along with Tracy and WingWai. Nothing too fancy or expensive, we simply dined in Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf that night.

Valentine's Day doesn't necessarily mean that your boyfriend/girlfriend has to come up with some super complicating / romantic ideas. It is the thought that counts, it is the little things that they do that matters. 

Succulent pork kebab(s).

Pork knuckles which happened to be quite a let-down.

And 2 plates of this Wolves' Favourite pasta which we all find it really good.

A picture of baby love and I. Despite the blurry picture but I love it still.

A picture with le pretty Tracy as well.

& I was a lucky girl who was well-pampered by her boyfriend. He got me a Victoria's Secret body mist and bombshell parfum. It was a belated Valentine's gift from baby love and like I said, it's the thought that counts :')

'Till then.

#76 Wondermama @ Bangsar Village

It has been exactly a month since I last make an update so i'm trying to make some time to blog 'bout Wondermama today. And it's scary how I have so many things to blog.

There was a day when I was dying to try Wondermama's famous milo smoothie. So my bestfriend accompanied me to satisfy my craving. 

Wondermama is an asian fusion concept restaurant located in Bangsar Village. It is one of the many cozy places in Bangsar, serving many varieties of food and beverages at an affordable prices.

I've wanted to try their burgers but they do not serve burgers before 12 noon which sadly, I went for the other alternative that I wouldn't mind having. Wondermama's nasi lemak. It really is good but it won't be the reason why I would return to WM just for the nasi lemak. I can get it elsewhere with similar tasting and at a lower cost.

I'm sorry I couldn't remember the name of this dish but it's a salad. Served with chicken meat and mashed potatoes. 

And WM's famous milo smoothie. So many people were talking bout how good it tastes. I know, some of you might think that this can be done at home at a wayyy lower cost but no harm trying, right? 

All in all, Wondermama is definitely a nice place to have your meal, to hang out and all that. There's no reason why I shouldn't recommend you guys to this place. So, do pay a visit and try their milo smoothie! No regrets ;) 

Anyhoo, I gotta run! I've finals to sit for this week so, wish me luck! Hehe. Xx! 

#74 Tous les Jours @ Telawi 3

It was a sunny Thursday afternoon and I was in class, brain-storming 'bout Accounting then all of a sudden, I craved for a cup of good coffee. Joanne came over to pick me up from my college right after my class ended and I led her to Bangsar for lunch. We couldn't make up our mind on what to eat so I brought her to Tous les Jours, a South-Korean bakery and cafe franchise owned by CJ Foodville, which I've always wanted to pay a visit.

So we settled down and made our orders.

Red velvet cake.

Sorry I couldn't remember what was this called but it's pretty much like Hazelnut danish.

Apple danish and an ordinary hot dog bun.

Top: Mocha (RM9), Bottom: Cappuccino (RM8)

I personally think that it's hard to find good red velvet cakes around. If you know what I mean. Some places serve red velvet cakes that don't even taste like one. However, Tous les Jours' red velvet tasted amazing. It has the right balance of flavour, sweetness and moist which is almost perfect to my liking. Well, I'm the kind of person whom doesn't like to eat anything too sweet or salty ;)

Oh and if you guys happen to drop by TLJ, please try that hazelnut danish. Haha. It's gooooood!

#62 Nutmeg at Bangsar Village II

Cool displays and a bucket of candies (trick or treat!)

My best friend, Lyn, picked me up from college on Friday morning and we headed to Bangsar Village II for a hearty breakfast meal. I suggested Nutmeg since the both of us haven't been there before.

I got pretty amazed with the drawings / paintings that were hung on the wall in Nutmeg. Please excuse me for I really suck at all these and frankly speaking, I don't even know how to enjoy looking at pretty paintings and what not. It really isn't my thing but these paintings are somewhat impressive and it got me staring at all of them for a while.

Not forgetting it's interior gave us that cozy and comfy vibe. Lyn and I could literally sit there for hours and hours just talking 'bout life, college and all the drama mommas whilst enjoying our hearty meal with a cup of either good hot coffee or chocolate. It almost felt like home. Definitely not over-exaggerating that.

Wazzzzup! lol.

Macchiato, RM6

I didn't know macchiato is served this way. I thought it's something similar to cappuccino but I was clearly wrong. I was quite astonished when I was served with this small - bitter cup of coffee 'cause I didn't expected it to be this way. Well honestly it was my first time ordering macchiato so don't mind me. Now I know better 'bout coffee other than sticking to my comfort zone - forever ordering cappuccino and latte lol.

Salt beef hash, RM16

I've only tried this dish once in Plan B and it was one of my favourite dish ever since. I think this one in Nutmeg is good too except I liked Plan B's better 'cause the portion is bigger and it's less salty.

Lyn's french toast with banana and butterscotch, RM12

I had only a bite so I shall judge based on that one bite? hahaha. Anyhoo, this one is good as well but they shouldn't be so skimpy on the banana. They could have served another slice of banana to go with the toast 'cause one really isn't enough.

I like hanging out with this girl, really. She makes me forget 'bout all my worries. The one who is there for me through thick and thin and love me for who I am. & she is my always hunting for food-partner-in-crime ;)
