Bubba Gump Sunway Pyramid

 

I haven’t been to Bubba Gump for nearly 2 years and was really looking forward to this dinner. We had planned to have our gathering last week but had to make a final change to a Monday night. There were quite a few tables having their birthday celebration which was actually quite fun to watch as they dance and sing along. Well I don’t really recall why we chose Bubba instead of TGI, maybe it was just a prawn thingy. After having so many prawns I am now craving for a big rack of ribs! Maybe TGI for the next round?

MH370 Confirmed Lost

Terrible sadness rippled through all those affected by the lost of MH370 that was officially announced today, the 24th of March 2014. It goes to show how fragile our lives are, gone so easily. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to all the family and friends that have lost loved ones in MH370. Nothing can compensate for their sorrow that they are facing now and it will be a long road to reconciliation and peace. Let us learn from this event and promise never to allow such incident to ever take place again.

Tribute to MH370. To all those who have lost their family and friends, we are here with you as one. We will never forget.

Avril Lavigne Live at KL

Another rocking night with Avril at Stadium Merdeka KL. She was here in 2012 and really glad she made it back here again for her latest album. Avril looks the same 12 years ago as if she never aged, maybe in my eyes! Some photos of last nights concert.

MH370 Lost Flight

My thoughts and heartfelt prayer goes out to all those affected by the missing plane MH370. No matter what it takes, we must locate the plane and passengers, understand what went wrong and never allow this to ever happen again.

First ever Half Marathon coming up

I've been into serious running for the past two years and joining 10km competition. This Sunday will mark my very first Half Marathon! Darn excited just thinking of it, it feels as much thrill like how it did during the first 10k run. I'm targeting a 6.3min/km pace for the first 10k and subsequently at 6min/km for the rest of 11k. My competitive pace for 10k is at 5.5min/km. Really hoping the weather will be good especially without any haze. It's been quite bad this couple of weeks here in Klang Valley due to the lack of rain.

The latest news from the organizer is that there is a possibility the marathon might be cancel if the haze doesn't improve by Sunday morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a go ahead!

Brooks marathon was given a go ahead this morning.

Today I didn’t managed to complete my first half marathon, at the 13km mark I suffered Popliteus Tendinitis more commonly known as injury to the area at the back of the knee. I was already running at 6.10min/km pace and felt good to give it a go after 10km but unfortunately couldn’t. Now I will be following up with chiropractor and could face up to two months without running. Determined to come back stronger and make my mark in HM.

Dome The Curve

After catching hold of Taylor’s concert ticket, we decided to go for Dome. I’ve always enjoyed their big breakfast and the other half had her scones. Unfortunately the scones weren’t all that fresh, the texture were somehow hard. The big brekkie were alright, with a handful amount of eggs in there.

How cool that Taylor actually thanked Malaysia fans for fully supporting her!

Mr & Ms Cafe Oasis Square

Cafe serving coffee, brunch and cakes seems to be the hit thing, the queue says it all about this newly established cafe. If you’re there during the noon with a long queue ahead, do proceed inside where they have a sofa to lounge around. 

Have some laughter, coffee and good food!

Moustache anyone?

Ordered additional baked beans to load up on protein, but found the beans to be under cooked. There’s a good herb taste to it. RM4.00

Ham & Mushroom Scrambled Eggs RM15.90. I think they’ve added too much butter to the eggs, otherwise it’s a solid meal.

Great presentation for ‘Toppers’. Again, they should use less butter for the eggs and probably add more avocado mash to it. RM15.90.

We tried their tea and orange juice. Both were decent but I believe the coffee would be a better choice if you’re avid coffee drinker since the tea lack the oomph. I would give them a rating of 7/10.

Antipodean Cafe Bangsar (second visit)

What’s with the KL highway this past few weeks? We were heading down to try out Acme bar but instead got caught in heavy traffic that seems worst than working hours. Our brunch plan wouldn’t just go down the drain, so we headed to Bangsar and had a revisit to Antipodean.

Staff are as efficient as the first visit and the menu is still clearly written against a board. We decided to give our tastebud a new try with Butterscotch banana pancake and All day breakfast.

Pancake didn’t had much taste to it so the butterscotch is a must. We were expecting a heavier hint of banana flavour to it.

You get a huge serving of baked beans, scrambled eggs, toast, grilled tomato, topped with the not crunchy but tasty bacon.

Overall still a great place to hangout, have a great meal and aromatic coffee. We’ll be back.

Valentine Dinner Cafe Cafe KL

It’s amazing that both the official Valentine day and Chinese Valentine fell on the same day this year. It only happens once every 19 years. We’ve been to Cafe Cafe numerous times, truth saying this is my favourite special occasion place. I just enjoy the soothing and dark environment that the place has. I would say the waiters are well trained in a manner that they are not overly robotic and definitely attentive. Some of the reviews that I’ve read over the internet mentioned the place could get  noisy because of the narrow seating position, the restaurant ain’t that big but they do have reserved group dining at the top floor. I’ve always called in advance to reserve and my favourite spot is table 11 which is located at the middle of the restaurant because it feels more private whereas you’ll find bigger groups seated nearer to the main entrance. The only downside being that one party will be facing the toilet (thankfully you’ll not be too near it).

The pictures below are the dishes we ordered this time around but I would recommend this dishes that we’ve tried over the course of 2 years:

> Chicken breast..if you’re on the lean and protein side (those weight watches will appreciate it)

> Escargots in Ratatouilles..because the butter and garlic really teases the tastebud

> Grilled prawn..the other half’s favourite

> Fettuccine with scented truffles and roasted macadamia..well it’s my favourite

> Duck confit..top down crispy you’ll love it

> Tiramisu..best I’ve tried in KL with a hint of kahlua and brandy.. you ain’t getting drunk

> Chocolate cake with ice cream..come on, it’s a sin to hate this

Classic interior..got that French feeling? 

Seating for two

They’ve vastly improved their bread, warm and soft. Even the butter is now soft, it used to be hard as rock.

French onion soup, too much cheese for a serving but love the sweetness of the onions.

This is one of the highlight of the night, you can really taste and truffle and crunchiness of the prawns.

The other half favourite grilled prawns.

My favourite truffled fettuccine.

Lemon tart..only so so, just look at that three tiny dot..not enough for me.

Top notch Tiramisu..the serving size seems to be getting smaller each passing day.
