#109 La Risata Italian Restaurant @ Ampang, KL

I am backkk! I am sorry for the long hiatus. I know I always happen to abandon my blog so I have came to a solution where I think it is better to work on an Instagram account whereby I get to post and share about the places I dine in/visited and make a short description on it's location, business hours and the price of the food and beverages. I find it really convenient and way easier to maintain an Insta account compared to blogging because blogging takes a lot of time (that's why i'm still ever so impressed with people who can manage their time so well for blogging) soooo, feel free to follow and keep up with LiveLoveEattt on Insta!!

Anyhoo, I decided to bring my baby to La Risata for dinner on his birthday since i've came across plenty of good reviews 'bout this place.

Mocktail of the day at only RM18++

Antipasti Misti platter consists of deep fried calamari rings, grilled mushroom, garlic crostini ith chicken liver pate and beef carpaccio @ RM42.

Wood fired oven roasted beef ribs in a reduction of red wine sauce on a bed of beautifully mashed potatoes @ RM45

The birthday boy turned 23! (2 months ago lol!)

And it was my first time trying to throw a mini birthday surprise for a guy, what more for the man I love. I really need to thank La Risata's team service for helping me out with this. It wouldn't have been a perfect surprise without their help and i'm really glad that my lover has no clue about the mini surprise. It was a hearty dining experience and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)

#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.

#99 Secret of Louisiana @ Kelana Jaya

This happens to be a month ago, where I suggested to dine in Secret of Louisiana for dinner to have a simple birthday celebration with my family and bf. One of my friend recommended this place to me the last time we spoke about eateries / great place to dine for special occasion. So, I decided to go to Louisiana on my birthday night for its perfect ambiance, environment and food for a birthday occasion.

I thought this would be located somewhere far from Subang but little did I know, it's located in SS7 (Kelana Jaya), just about 15 minutes drive from where I stay. We were all honestly slightly bedazzled by how nearby this place is. We went like "OMG we've reached our destination omg lol omg" LOL.

My beloved mommy and I.

My baby and I.

It's nice how you get to enjoy great food with such cozy yet romantic environment without needing to head down-town which is pretty nuisance to me because of the horrible traffic, I would add.

My order that night, black pepper lamb shoulder @ RM39.90

Chicken chop @ RM26.90

Both the ambiance and the food gave me that nostalgic feeling - I remember my parents bringing me to The Ship every time when we had any special occasions. I mean, in the modern world today, majority of the youngsters would go to cafes, modernized restaurants and such. So whereas for me, a 90's kid, this place reminds me of the good ol' times.

Red snapper @ RM39.90

So sorry for the lack of pictures 'cause all of us couldn't wait to dig in! Yup, it was THAT good.

A picture of my family, baby love and I.

& this picture was taken in bangsar 'cause we headed to TDG for some desserts before heading home. & that's about it! It was indeed a wonderful celebration with the vvvvips.

#98 Italiannies @ Empire

I'm going to keep this post short and simple 'cause I was busy with my assignment and thought I could take a short break by updating my blog. So, yup.

Anyhoo, baby and I decided to dine in Italiannies @ Empire on my birthday week 'cause I was given an e-voucher worth RM30 discount off the bill from PinchofSalt when I dine in any of the selected restaurants around Malaysia.

My baby loveee :3

Wanted to have beef lasagna but they ran out of it so we ordered the alternative which was chicken lasagna. It tastes superbbb! Though I'd totally prefer having the beef one instead. I bet you could tell through the photos that the portion is pretty big. We can barely finish half of that and we ended up packing the remaining home.

We thought perhaps we should order a plate of meatballs spaghetti just incase the lasagna couldn't fill us up, but we obviously thought wrong. We could neither finish this, too.

Omggg. Looking at these plates of goodness is making me hungry already.

LOOK! At. The, Gooooooooodnesssss!

& i'm happy girlfriend 'cause my baby got me a birthday gift! hee.

Okay I gotta run, 'till then!

#96 Tujo @ Ascott, Kuala Lumpur

#selfie? haha.

My best friend (Lyn) and I were born on the same date, month and year and it's a pleasure to be able to meet someone who shares the same birthday with you. Don't you think? We are friends since Form 2 (14 y/o) and we've been celebrating our birthdays together ever since. The fact that she is leaving for UK to further her studies this year got us thinking that we should make an advanced birthday celebration since she's leaving before our actual birthday. 

Sooooo, I suggested Tujo.

My #ootn - 3 floor inspired dress.

View from where we sat that day.

The jakoons (Lyn and I) thought that we'd have to splurge and go broke on this birthday celebration 'cause I suggested to head down to KL for dinner, but to our surprise, everything was priced pretty reasonably. We actually thought it'd cost about RM50/plate lol.

Meet this exceedingly beautiful, fine young lady, Lyn.

Ordered myself a glass of Apple Mint Cooler @ RM17

You might think that RM17 for a drink is too much, but upon tasting it, you'll know that it's worth paying for that price ;)

Tujo Grilled Burger @ RM30

Lyn got herself the beef burger - home made mouth-watering beef patty, aged cheddar melt, bacon and egg with potato wedges and salad as sides.

Seafood risotto @ RM33

Arborio rice that was cooked to al-dente in a good dose of tomato broth, basil pesto and mixed seafood such as prawns, calamari, mussels and scallop. I don't think i've missed anything out. Sorry if I did.

And how is it a birthday celebration if there's no desserts or a cake in precise, right? 

Lava cake with a scoop of Haagen Dazs's vanilla ice-cream @ RM15.

I honestly don't think it's worth paying RM15 for something this small. Or at least it's not satisfying enough for a sweet-tooth like us. Despite that, it tastes pretty good.

A mandatory selfie with the "birthday lava cake" hahaha!

It was a splendid pre-birthday night out with the best friend and it's one of the most memorable one with her. Top-notch food + cozy and romantic ambiance + super amazing companion = a perfect date. 

She's in the UK now, and encountering a (perhaps) once in a lifetime studying experience with total strangers in a completely new environment. I've been missing her the minute she left and as gay as it may sounds, I had a hard time adapting to the fact that she's not around anymore until the next time I see her, which is next year. I was so used to having her around and being able to call her out whenever because we live in the same housing area. So we meet every single week. And no, we aren't lesbians -.- hahah!

It's hard to find true friends and I swear that is rare. So, appreciate those who love and care for you whilst they're still around ;)
