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...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within th...
