Farewell with 04 and Imm @ Shanghai 10, Avenue K

I had been to Shanghai 10 many times but i never have the chance to blog about it. Farewell lunch with Shi How and Gaik Imm was done here, suggested by they themself...
We wanted a room and was told that minimum charge was RM250. Given the huge crowd of us (10??), Ed thought we should be able to cover so we were in the room!!!

As usual, chinese tea in every dimsum session
Shanghai 10 offers Dimsum and ala carte dishes, let's see what we had that day...
Fried flat noodles with crab roe
Was specifically requested by me, cos i just loved the aromatic of this dish. Transparent flat noodles fried with generous amount of crab roe and eggs, and we saw many many many...huge shrimps lying on top too!
Definitely a very high carbo and cholestrol dish but who cares if it's awesomely delicious!
Very "wok hei" too!

A kind of pork dish that we ordered, not sure what it calls...
I had a small piece and voila!
I don't know how to describe the yumminess of this so please go try yourself!
~~ Dim Sums we had ~~
Something with scallops?


Crab Roe XiaoLongBao
Like this!



Something new...
Cheong Fun wrapped with Foochok and garnished with crab roe gravy...
Didn't try this anyway but it looks so nice!


Xiao Long Bao
Their signature dimsum and always a must order for me.
Can finish in a bite but not sure what's wrong on that day, it seemed that all xiao long bao were broken when we picked it!


Beancurd Roll


Fried "Wu Tao Kou" yam cake
I prefer fried radish cake


Sesame ball



Crab roe La Mian
Love the soup gravy....

Cha Siew Bao



My another favourite
Fried Cheong Fun
Love the way they fried it together with eggs and XO sauce!


Last but not least, egg tart
Creamy and puffy!

Imm and 04
Wish you guys all the best in your future undertaking!

Girls' Nite Out - Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant & TinPan GoGo

Had a girls' nite out on a Friday together with Jiun, Lily, Min and Wai Yee. I suggested to go try a thai restaurant which i stumbled upon reading a blog that i frequented. And oh yes, the decision was correct =)


The menu stated NO MSG, i didn't feel extremely thirsty after eating so i think it's true!


Found some special drink like lemongrass/pandan tea and this water chestnut drink - RM3.00
Min who ordered this said it tasted like the one from can @_@



Me and WaiYee ordered thai coconut to cool ourself due to the super hot weather!
RM4.50

Let's see what we had that day



Green curry chicken - RM15
This dish is their recommended one but we felt that it was just so-so only..
While it was aromatic enough, i felt that the curry was a bit watery, and the chicken tasted a bit weird. Oh we found something interesting in the curry that looked like olive...


I love this
Stir fried paku pakis - RM10
Crunchy!



Tomyam seafood - RM20.00
Each of us had a bowl of this, with plenty of mixed seafood such as prawn, fish and squid.
Served in an old school charcoal steamboat, all of us liked this very much. Very flavourful even though it was not that spicy enough, still got the kick that kicked our appetite!



Steam Seabass - RM32.00
I knew we had to order this upon entering the shop. I saw it on every table!
The fish was caught live in front of our eyes as the aquarium was just a table away from us....
Steamed traditional thai style with lots of garlic, the soup itself was so sweet and the fish meat was tender too...

I had too much of this though....



Pandan chicken - RM15.00
Tender meat and fragrant enough....a dish to complete this awesome thai food experience!



The 5 of us had too much...we ordered 5 dishes!
Greedy max!
The meal came to RM113 (no tax), which i think is affordable, given the satisfaction of the thai food that we had.
The restaurant is located at the same row as Kayu Nasi Kandar at Chow Yang, SS2.

Feeling to have something sweet and to continue our endless conversation, we adjourned to TinPanGoGo for desserts...
~~ Drooling ~~



A personal desserts for each of us and durian pancakes, red bean and coconut pudding to share...
The pudding was very nice and Q enough ehh! We loved it very much!


The desserts bill came to approx RM80, and we spent nearly RM200 that night....
Expensive? Not really....cos the opportunity to catch up with the buddies was indeed priceless....

Nice Mille crepe @ Dessert's Bar

This was a visit to Dessert's Bar @ KLCC outlet during the Xmas week holiday last year when the special one was in town and we went shopping with Mom. We skipped lunch and had tea-time instead, and we settled at this nice eatery after tired of walking :P


Heard of this cafe from blogs, and saw mix comments. Some said it nothing special, some said it fantastic. Well, i was impressed with their desserts collection so here i was =)

Got this after making selection and payment at counter. They will serve us the ordered items....
noticed their signature "no colouring" ice cream...hmm...will try this next time...


We had:
Cappucino
Earl grey tea
Kiwi + mango smoothies
The Cappucino was a pretty small portion for a coffee addict like me, and it was a bit pricy given the size of the coffee. Earl grey was nothing spectacular (tea bag only ma ...haha...) but the smoothies was a surprise! Sourish and sweet enough to perk me up though :)
We just love this very much....
Honestly this was my 1st time savouring mille crepe and i really love it. I cut it by fork and ate it in the stacks of crepe, and also ate it layer by layer....both method of eating still gave me the same satisfaction!
Still remember the taste of the butter cream in between...Yummy!!!


Always heart carrot cake so i ordered this to try.
Personally feel that it was not too bad but i don't like the plenty icing in between :P

I myself feel that the pricing for the drinks here are not worth that much, but it may due to we ordered their non-signature drinks such as coffee and tea. Maybe their signature drinks like fresh smoothies and juices are worth it. Will definitely back for more cakes, crepes and desserts!!

A day out with Regene ~ Winter Warmers Cafe @ The Curve

I went for a shopping day with Regene yesterday at The Curve. We are cousin sis, school mate, room mate and tuition mate before but we never happen to hang out together, at only 2 of us. Lucky i had this opportunity to spend some quality time with her before moving down south...
We decided to have a hi-tea instead of lunch, so we headed to Winter Warmers, a cafe that i have been knowing for many years, yearning to try for so many times, until finally managed to step in to this awesome cafe yesterday....



We ordered Afternoon Tea Set @ RM29.90
The set comes with selection of black tea for each person, but we can choose to upgrade to other beverages by the additional RM1...
Honestly this was the very first time i tried English afternoon tea set, so let's see what's in there...

Butter and chocolate cookies
Crunchy and very fragrant with its rich butter taste...guilty after eating this!



2 pieces of cakes
Chocolate and orange cheese (if i'm not mistaken)
The choc cake was very moistful and rich in chocolatey taste, while the orange cheese had a little sourish taste...


The lowest part, we had scones and sandwhiches
The sandwich was a little bit dry (the bread), so-so only
I like the scone, i am a scone lover. Too bad they didn't provide the cream, only butter and jam given. It would have tasted better with cream...


Regene's cappuccino
I like their cups!


My mix fruit cocktail tea, served with honey
Good to wash down the carbo and fats that we have indulged just now...haha...

Some obligatory photo with the tea set tower ^_^





Gotta have more of this hang out again!

Managed to get 2 complimentary ice-cream voucher from New Zealand Natural from the wheel-spin at The Curve. The first time i tried this ice-cream brand tooo....

Yogurt berry and Chocloate Ecstasy (their star seller)
The chocolate ecsrasy was very sinful, very rich in chocolate taste!
Another good option for ice-cream other than Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins...

Regene, our next outing will be before my official move to Singapore ehhh???

Sushi Tei @ Tropicana City Mall

Sushi Tei is a Japanese chain restaurant from Singapore. First heard about it last year but only managed to try it today, to celebrate Wai Yee's birthday, 1 of my best buddy in KL....Some say its foods are so-so, some say excellent. Well, we'll see how it goes....


What they offered is pretty much the same with other Japanese chain, with a few "new" items that we never seen in other restaurant...at least they serve sea urchin here (which is very NOT affordable for me lah....haha....)

Hot Ocha for us 3



Birthday girl ^^



Salmon Carpaccio RM10.80
Seared salmon with soy sauce (or sesame?), topped with alfalfa
Very fresh. Like it very much...


Chicken Katsu Soba
While the soba tasted good with a very clear and sweet soup, the chicken katsu somehow let us down with its dryness. Prefer it to be more juicy...


Salmon belly sushi (at behind) RM6.00
Salmon roll with 3 kinds of different ebiko (forgot the price)
All i can say is good. Amazing.


Grilled scallop with mayonaise
The sauce has a hint of garlic, and it's pretty filling up the tummy after eating this. Some kind of "jelak". Ended up we ate the chicken katsu together with the sauce and it tasted pretty good too...


Grilled salmon with cod roe RM15.80
Thumbs up for this!
The salmon was not overly grilled, just perfect to be eaten together with the cod roe on top. Cod roe was smooth and silky enough, a perfect combination!
I am craving more for this!


Chawanmushi ordered by the birthday girl, which we found it just normal




We also ordered the Grilled squid which was giant in size. Not up to our expectation, still had it chewy-ness, but the teriyaki sauce provided was not enough leh...haha...



^^ Us ^^
Happy Birthday Wai Yee !
