Good Eats & Even Better Company

I spent the entire weekend with great company and great food.
On Friday we tried this new place in Jaya 33; Good Food & Co.
I had spaghetti with beef salami and a perfect half boiled egg.
Then we went to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
Ordered something off their kid-friendly favourites - Hot Vanilla. It was soooo creamy. So good.
On Saturday I went out with my high school friends. Spent the whole day out with them.
We went to Tony Romas for lunch. Was too hungry so I didn't take any pictures of the food there but this time round our orders were pretty disappointing. The Kickin' Shrimp we had was good but the grilled chicken dish was a disaster. So dry, so bland. And so expensive!
For tea we went to the TWG tea salon & boutique. Didn't order the usual tea set with the scones and macaroons coz I think the scones I make at home are better than any I've had outside (yes I realize I'm full of myself but it's true).
Our waiter recommended the Pink Flamingo. "A graceful blend of TWG green tea with crimson hibiscus that will brighten your day," he said. Which it did. I also ordered this cake-like thing called the Singapore Surprise. It was nothing like I'd ever had before. It was like a cross between caramel custard and vanilla pudding with strawberries at the bottom to give it some tartness. It was smooth and creamy and absolutely delicious!
We also had 2 Crème brûlées, one of which was infused with Earl Grey Tea. Yummmm.
And then we went to this place called Hungry Bunch. Excellent service and very yummy food. Incredibly low prices too. Every student/foodie's dream.
The place was packed!
I had a Mint Ade; very refreshing and you just know it's real mint leaves and no flavouring was used. Only some colouring :P
And we shared this chicken dish. I forgot what cheese they used but the tomato sauce was good.
Then came Sunday. Went for brunch to Antipodean in Bangsar. That place has been on my must-visit-cafe list for quite some time now.
 This was the Eggs Marlborough with smoked salmon. Eggs were perfectly runny.
And this was my Big Breakfast. Very,very satisfying.
With already stuffed tummies, we still wanted dessert so we went for cakes.
This was at Jaslyn Cakes. So, so good. I had the Red Velvet and my friend ordered the Carrot Cake. Both cakes were moist and the cream cheese frosting was just nice. Not too heavy, not too sweet. 
After breakfast (or brunch, I should say) we took a walk around Brickfield coz my friend was looking for a saree. I think I spoke more Tamil yesterday than I ever did through out my entire life thus far.
Homegrown tourist :D
Then we went to Nu Sentral. Had something from La Juiceria, had coconut ice-cream at Sangkaya.
Walked and walked and ate and ate.
It was so good to see my old friends again.
Can't wait to meet the others.
All you need in KL is money. Lots and lots of money. And a car.
Definitely a weekend to remember.
:)

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

#100

We had our Christmas event yesterday evening. Caroling practice was only for 4 days because it was such short notice but everyone did a fantastic job.  And I've finally lost my voice.  I think we clean up pretty nicely despite looking like ogres on usual weekdays. Heh. Almost done with our Paeds posting. Another week before exams begin. Will be spending a few days at home for Christmas. Not too sure about New Year, though. Really don't want to spend it alone here. Hmm. Updates, updates. Let's see. My Vaio is giving me some problems. I took it to the computer centre the other day and they updated my graphic driver but videos still aren't playing properly. Wonder if it's the display driver that needs to be looked into.  Still not sure if I'll be upgrading my Lenovo to the Xperia. Crossing my fingers in the hopes that mom & dad will surprise me for Christmas :P Went around looking for a rabbit a week ago but couldn't find one. Really ...

To Date

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...
