Fun, Laughter and Happiness

Hey guys, it's me again. I'm back to share with you my fun-filled with laughter and happiness day. *yes, it is as the title says* I woke up on time this morning to go for class. Though there was a massive jam. I felt really calm and was totally in zen mode. Like seriously.. Nothing could get me mad that morning. :P I didn't even have road rage that morning. After that I went to class to first book seats for all of us. Soon when JY arrived, I was hungry. Hunger had taken over. :) I quickly downed the box of milk that JY brought for me. Class was uninteresting for me as usual but sadly it is necessary. :( *sigh* and as usual I was off dreaming in my mind about shopping, food and the likes. Hehe We then decided to go to Jaya One, I drove since I had my car. *pretty excited when I have my car* we decided to grab lunch at The Morning After. A pretty cool name! It gave me a cheeky feeling where I wanted to finish it as a sentence. Hehehe The food is really good. Though  it is usually what we would normally have for breakfast, it is a really huge portion and for me that can be any meal of the day. I ordered "The American Dream". 





It comprises of turkey ham, chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, half a grilled bagel and sautéed mushrooms with cherry tomatoes. It tastes absolutely divine to me. 😍 The scrambled eggs were just right, soft yet not gooey. The bagel was a little harder than. I thought. The turkey ham was really nicely grilled as well as the chicken sausage. It was all nicely done. There's also baked potatoes! *kyaaaa* I love them they're crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. :) I tried the sautéed mushrooms and the cherry tomatoes, however I don't really like them in general so I switched it with my friend JY, for some of her mashed potato, and let me tell you those were the best mashed potatoes I have ever tasted! Haha loved it so much definitely going back for more. This is definitely a must try! I love trying new cafes with my girls. Good company + good food = great memories!

Chasing Cinderella

It has been days, weeks actually that we have wanted to watch Cinderella. Ever since we saw the trailer. We were so excited to watch it. Couldn't wait. Then finally it's here, and we planned our time so we could catch it. Little did we know that we would be thwarted from it at least twice before it succeeded. 😱 This isn't a joke our plan failed three times. When we finally thought that we were going to watch it. Something happened to prevent that. It was sort of depressing. After that time we decided that we were going to watch it next week no matter what. We seemed to have been led on a merry chase before being allowed to watch Cinderella. Heheh. On a side note, when some of our plans to watch were foiled, we managed to get some shopping done instead. Last Thursday, I think we went to have dim sum in the morning at Jin Xuan Hong Kong Restaurant // 锦选香港特极点心. The food there was not bad, some of their dishes are quite good. I'll attach the photos there. :D 







Deep fried Dim Sum, From the top, Fried Beancurd Roll, Fried Salad Shrimp-not too bad, it still doesn't beat the one that I used to have in Tai Thong, Fried Wanton. The other two are the usual you get. 








Har Gaw-Nice the skin isn't too sticky and the shrimp used are fresh. Siu Mai-Quite  big piece, otherwise it's just normal. Mixed Seafood Dumpling-The skin isn't too sticky and the ingredients used is fresh.







Shrimp Rice Roll






Thousand Year Old Egg & Pork Congee-It really is delicious. Quite tasty :)







Egg Tarts-Really good. The pastry is just right not too hard and not too soft and the custard is so soft.







Golden Bun-Best that I've tasted in Malaysia so far. The buns are fluffy an the inside isn't too sweet it is slightly salty.




After that, we went to One Utama, was walking around after failing to watch Cinderella. We went shopping instead. :P Wandered into H&M, Forever 21 and I got to visit Betjeman & Barton, a Parisian tea shop. Their blend of teas simply smell really good. Will definitely go back there to get some for myself especially the fruit tea. Totally delicious! In Forever 21, JY and I got the leggings that we have been searching for, those that cover till your toes, for RM10 plus it is buy 2 free 1. Got it at a steal! Felt so happy after getting that. :D



P.S this post is long overdue. I was to post it last week but I had university applications to deal with as such I delayed it.. ><

[Review] Green Sprout Cafe

When I went to visit this cafe a friend introduced to me the other day. I was quite excited as I have an extremely sweet tooth and this cafe sells, yes teatime cakes and desserts! :D So I thought to myself, let's go check it out! Hahha it's been awhile since I've been to a cake shop. The last was Nadeje's Cake House :) The Mille crepes there was to die for! Love that cake shop. Anyways moving on. I didn't manage to take a photo of the surroundings of the cafe. >< Wish I had though, the atmosphere was really nice. 

Okay. So my friends and I decided to get the promotion which was on at the time, which was 4 cakes and 1 pot of tea. It was quite a good deal. Only thing was the portion of cakes were quite small. :/ So that deal turned out to be bad.. -.- Also the service there was slightly below average. The waitress forgot to bring us our tea which we ordered with the cakes! Hmph! We had to ask them for it. 







The illustrations are not that good. *forgive my bad photography skills* >.< From the top left is Tiramisu. Below that is a marble cheese cake. Next to the marble cheese cake is a banana chocolate cake and right above that is the red velvet cheese cake. It all sounds so delicious! *drools* Even the appearance is nice! 

First up is the tiramisu! My honest opinion, the tiramisu is not that bad. However, I feel that they have put too much liquid into it when making it. The texture of it was too watery. Also I find the taste abit too mild. I do love the way they decorated it though! It looks nice! 







Second would be the marble cheese cake! I am a huge fan of cheese cakes! Any cheese cake, I would eat. However, thanks to that I have become extremely picky when it comes to cheese cakes. -.- I expected the marble cheese cake to be delicious. From the looks of the photo, it looks really appetising. But when I used my fork to get a bite. The disappointment was evident. The cake was so hard! Like seriously, I had to wait for the cake to melt a little before I could eat it. Maybe they froze the cake too much. I have not ate a cheese cake so hard. The taste however was fine. It was not too sweet yet not too bland either. It was just fine. :) The chocolatey pattern is also pretty! :D






Third would be the red velvet cheese cake! 😍😍 Red velvet is also another one of my top favourite cakes! I absolutely adore red velvet. My expectations for this was also quite high. Sadly it did not meet my expectations at all. This is by far the worst red velvet cake I've tasted so far. *sobs* I chose that since it was a mix of cheese and red velvet and thought it would be a really really delicious combination since both cheese and red velvet are on the top of my list of favourite cakes. This was really a letdown. The decoration was pretty and it looked mouthwatering until you take a bite. Then it shatters all your hopes for it. The red velvet base just became crumbs the moment you tried to cut it. The cheese on top was a little too hard. Perhaps a little overbaked. :/ I ended up only eating the cheese on top. The red velvet base was also extremely dry and crumby as I've mentioned above. 








Lastly, is the banana chocolate cake. I didn't expect much from this since the first three were already letdowns. *sigh* However, the cake was slightly above average actually! I like this cake. :) The way they decorated the cake is really nice. The taste of the chocolate cake was not too sweet as some chocolate cakes could be and the banana in the cake, it was a little too ripe, but it's fine otherwise. :) Also this cake was wobbly which was cute! They used a tooth pick to hold all the layers together. The strawberry on top was abit sour. Overall I like this cake the best. :D The other three were just letdowns. :(






In conclusion, the cakes of this cafe is not to die for. Their cakes are only okayish. Some are even below average. Hmph. The plus points of this cafe is they don't only serve cakes and drinks, they also have main course meals which you can have there. Mostly western though. Here's a photo of my friends and I that day! :D

I wouldn't revisit. :)
