#119 4th Anniversary dinner @ Busaba Thai ♡

Finally getting a break from work on a weekend (besides the Raya week). I swear it is not easy trying to have a balanced life with so many responsibilities in hand. A full time student on weekdays, part time employee on weekends, full time driver and helper every single day. Sounded easy, but trust me, it really isn't especially when you have to make time for many other things as well like family, boyfriend and friends. Lol.

Well, it's very very rare of me to be free on a weekend so I thought, why not do some blogging? ^^

~ 25th June 2016 ~

So this year, our anniversary falls on a Saturday, but we didn't get to spend the entire day together like how we did for the past 3 years 'cause we had to work from early morning 'till late evening. Workaholic couple lolol.

Our initial plan was to head down to KL for dinner and probably catch a movie if there is one. But I guess that would be a bad idea 'cause we would be famish by then and so I thought of Busaba Thai @ Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa (which is only 15minutes drive away from where we stay lol).

Their thai tea tasted really good although it was a tad bit too sweet to my liking. Had to ask for some ice to dilute it.

Lucky us, we get to feast on a Ramadhan promotion menu which comes with 2 beverages, 1 starter, 2 soup, 4 main courses, 2 plates of rice and 2 desserts for only RM200(+-). And all of that is enough to be shared among 3-4 person (especially a group of girls).

Money bags for starter! Which was really good when dipped with the thai sauce.

We get to choose between clear tom yum and red tom yum soup. So we went with both since my bf suggested it. The clear tom yum soup turns out to be slightly more sour-ish. The red one is slightly more creamy I would say. So it is up to your preference, but I personally loved both ;)

The 4 main courses consist of green curry chicken/beef which comes with naan, sweet and sour chicken, mixed vegetables and tau foo. 

And they served us sago honeydew with coconut milk as desserts. My bf and I loved it soooo much. I've had lots of this dessert before, but this is by far the best that I have ever had.

Anyway, i'm sorry I didn't get to take a lot of pictures and whatnot because it was already almost 9pm when we got there and their kitchen is closing at 9:30pm. Which explains why I was not bothered to take a lot of pictures and besides, I was in a rush 'cause we were both late so I left my camera at home. 

But anyhoo, I guess it was a good idea leaving my camera behind. Cause then I get to spend more time with my bf just talking and chuckling away while savouring the finely crafted Thai cuisine. ^^

My overall experience with Busaba Thai is an 8/10. From taste wise to customer service to food quality and ambiance. And I like how we walked around the Sunway area after we had our dinner. Just walking along the beautiful street and have conversations that only we both know/share. I'm glad that I chose to go to Busaba Thai. It was indeed a good choice. 

And here is a picture of us! ❤

Also, I wanna say, thank you baby for all the unconditional love that you have showered upon me. It truly is a blessing to have met you and be with you. Truly a blessing sent from above. I love you ❤

And nonetheless, received so many anniversary gifts from him this year which made me felt really thankful and happy at the same time. #blessed

#117 High Tea @ 1837 TWG Tea Salon & Boutique

1837 TWG Tea Salon

It was Mother's Day just last Sunday, and I brought my mom out to dinner with my siblings and I'm really glad that she was really delighted that day. My mom is always easily pleased with the tiniest things we do. So how did the rest of you spend your Mother's Day? I hope everyone had a good time even if it means simple, like just by saying I love you and hugging your mom or face-time her if you're abroad.

So anyway, I thought of pampering my mom to an afternoon tea sesh next weekend (which is on her birthday) and me being me, I started googling to see which place gets one of the best ratings and reviews. So as I was surfing the net, I recalled that I only went for a high tea sesh only twice or thrice(!?) Once at One Six Five, Delicious and then this, 1837 TWG Tea Salon. 

I really wanted to go to the one in Pavilion 'cause I've always preferred white lighting compared to yellow lighting. But it was a very impromptu date with my girlfriend and without any further deliberation,we simply settled down in Sunway Pyramid's TWG for a good afternoon tea sesh.

Was pretty amazed with the 18k gold-platted pot 'cause it's soooooooo purdy :3

I have a confession to make. I don't think this set is available on regular days 'cause this was their Christmas high-tea set and if I remembered correctly, it was only about RM59.90++ per set. It was reaaaaally worth it. 

I guess you could roughly guess what I had thaaaaaaaaat day. I personally love their mini bagels and scones. Not forgetting the scones' tea jelly and cream. Twg Tea's tea jelly is good, I swear. I can eat it even on its own.

Ootd: One piece (also can be worn as a cardi/jacket) from HnM.

Back to what I said earlier, that I wanted to bring my mom for an afternoon tea session next weekend.. Mind to give some suggestions on where should I bring my mom to? Besides Majestic because I know that's one of the best place to go (the view, the price, taste wise, hospitality, etc). Just wanted to have some options so I can let my mom make her pick. Drop a comment below if you've the time to! 

'Till then.

#104 The Library Coffee Bar @ Sunway Pyramid

My friends and I really do enjoy dining in new cafes / restaurants and enjoy the new and unique environment that each individual dining place could possibly provide. So, we were a little hyped up to try The Library Coffee Bar which was opened in Sunway Pyramid not too long ago and it has opened another branch in SS15 as well.

Cappuccino.

I'm still upset over the fact that i'm allergic to coffee, but I still drink it once in a while though I would get side-effects.

I ordered a simple English breakfast set which cost me roughly about RM10 if i'm not mistaken. I remembered it to be really cheap and was hoping that it would taste great, but sad to say, I would pay a little more for something heartier. The scrambled eggs, salad and waffle were a let-down.

My friend had mushroom carbonara and she said it was really really bland and I have to agree with her because it really is tasteless. I wish they could add a little more seasoning to the sauce and perhaps they could add in some salt whilst boiling the pasta. It does make a difference and it would taste a lot better.

Overall, it was okay for the price was priced reasonably but I would be really happy to pay another visit with slightly more improvements on their dishes. The coffee though, was good, so thumbs up to that! 'till then.

#79 Caffe Bene @ Sunway Pyramid

Good news for those who studies in Sunway / Monash University, they only need to take about 10 minutes stroll down the students' pedestrian bridge from Sunway Uni to get to Sunway Pyramid. For there is a latterly opened korean cafe in Sunway Pyramid; Caffe Bene. I bet many of your have heard 'bout it. I was honestly excited when I knew that there will be a new korean cafe opening in Sunway Pyramid.

Caffe Bene serves coffee made from the world's best seasonally harvested fresh coffee beans to Belgian waffles, patbingsu, honeybread, gelato and fruit smoothies.

Matcha Patbingsu @ RM10.80

It's a pity that I am not able to present the rest of the food/beverages served there, the environment, menu and whatnot 'cause on that particular day, I wanted to just lay back comfortably and have a good catch up sesh with my babe. Hence, the lack of photos. But I'd find some time to re-visit. You guys should take some time out to try Caffe Bene. I'm not exactly satisfied as the patbingsu was quite a let down. If only the ice was shaved a little finer, then it's all good.

P/s: There's another outlet opened in Solaris, Mont Kiara.

#78 Beyond Veggie by Secret Recipe @ Sunway Pyramid

I had finally graduated from Pre-U and starting a whole new chapter of life in Degree. I honestly can't wait!

I had spent three weeks of my semester break productively. Worked at Popular book-fair for 13 days continuously and spent the rest of my holiday helping my mom out, spending time with my babylove and headed back to my grandpop's crib during the weekend for ching ming.

Now that being said, I'd like to make a short update on Beyond Veggie by Secret Recipe @ Sunway Pyramid. Just a day before I started working, I drove Daph out for tea and we settled in for a cuppa and cakes.

Two flat white coffee, azuki green tea cake and hazel crunch chocolate cake.

Beyond Veggie is currently offering a tea-break promotion. A set of a slice of cake complimentary with a cuppa or tea at only RM7.50 before tax. I'd say that their cakes are up to my expectations. Both flavourful and moist. This promotion could attract more customers especially students who are studying in Sunway College. 'Cause I personally would like to have a cup of hot chocolate or coffee and a slice of delicious cake, simply to de-stress from all the assignments, projects, examinations and so forth.

K I gotta go so allow me to end this post with two pictures of Daph and I.

#64 Nihonkai Japanese Restaurant 日本海

I'm sorry the hiatus! This time I really didn't have the time to blog. No, it wasn't because i'm lazy but rather solely lack of time. Too many things are piling up and there are way too many things that are needed to be done by end of this month so life has been throwing me lemons but I hope I could I make lemon meringue pie out of 'em hahah!

Just then I thought I should give myself some time out and fix my craving for Japanese food albeit I've had it several days ago. It's like I can never get enough with Japanese food. D'you feel me?

I picked Olivia, Elvy and Carmen up from their place and headed to Nihonkai Japanese Restaurant which is located in Sunway Mentari. Maybe you should look out to Fat One Steamboat Restaurant 'cause Nihonkai is directly opposite to it.

For one moment I thought this was some sort of Japanese biscuit hahah. Fyi, it's wasabi.

Sushi Special Set at RM36

Doesn't this food photo make you drooooool?

Ten Don at RM13

This is actually my third visit to Nihonkai but my friends didn't have a clue 'bout this Japanese restaurant so i've decided to bring them here for a try. My first-two visits were in Taman Desa. They've a branch there too. I'd personally rate this place 6.5/10. I can't say it is the best Japanese restaurant in town but it's promising.

#53 Delicious

Another last minute tea-time sesh with my sisters on a Sunday evening. Initially, we planned to go to the Upstairs Cafe in SS12 'cause i'm craving for their red velvet cake but little did I know, it is closed on Sundays. So do take note that Upstairs Cafe is closed on Sundays k!

Since then, we headed to Sunway Pyramid's Delicious for desserts without having a second thought. We ordered the 3 tier tray set, inclusive of two cups of either coffee or tea at RM59.90. I think it's pretty reasonable if it's shared equally to 3-4 person though.

Flat White coffee

Earl Grey Tea

& the pretty 3 tier tray!

This set has a pavlova, 2 sticks of strawberries fondue, 2 scones with whipped cream and jam, 3 cookies, 2 dark chocolates, 2 tarts and 6 slices of sandwiches.

I personally think that the portion is too big for 3 person. Perhaps 4 person will be just nice. Not forgetting, these girls treated me 'cause they didn't manage to buy me a birthday present so this was basically a belated birthday "celebration / gift". Seriously, how thoughtful of them! :')

Sorry for the blur picture! My ootd ;)

JM! :)
