The Pink Sage = Best Breakfast!!

We have a small gathering to celebrate Ming Li and Rachel's birthday. We went to Food Foundry for dinner and noisy chatting session.

The complete Serayan girl gang. I think the last time we have a complete group photo was before Mei Yee went to UK, which was like 2 years ago???

Anyway, the food that night were extremely dissapointing. None of them were good. I think only my Dory fish is so-so. Serious!! Wai Leng and PuiC who previously dined at this place said that the food that they had last time were better than what we ordered that night. I think they must have changed chef or something. Whatever it is, the food is really not that good. Either tasteless or tasted really terrible.

Need to thank Jonny and his camera for all the good photos. I did not take any of the photos since Jonny is with us. Just sit back and keep on passing the food to him so that he would take photo of them :)

This is the Mediterranean Chicken that Calvin ordered. The waiter told us that it's chicken stuffed in vegetables!!! Haha. We couldn't help laughing at this description though. For me, it tasted a little bit like steamed chicken served with ginger sauce. Haha. But the chicken is tasteless.

This will be my Pan-Fried Dory Fish Fillet with Lemon Sauce (or something like that). The fish fillet is quite small. One can never go wrong with Dory fish though. I think it's the most edible dish that night. The mashed potato is really good though but it came without any gravy, so it's more like pure mashed potato. Haha.

Shin's lamb shank. I can't comment much about this because I forgot how it taste like *shy*

Leng's Chicken Cordon Bleu. This tasted really bad as well. I'm not a big fan of cheese, so it's quite hard for me to accept this dish. But all of them said that this is quite bad as well. Again, it's tasteless.

This chicken chop that more than half of those who attended the dinner ordered. Tastless.... again. I don't understand how can a restaurant that is quite famous could prepare such tasteless chicken chop. I don't understand.

After all the bad food, I don't think I will visit that place anymore unless I read reviews that they have improved. But at the moment, I don't think I will visit this place anymore. All the food are totally disaster.

Ohhh I'm so excited to share with all of you the best breakfast around KL. Well, at least in American Breakfast category okay. Me and Tsuey Wenn went to The Pink Sage which is very near to Cap Square on Saturday morning for breakfast. I read really good review about this place from other food blogs and can't resist the gorgeous looking pancakes :)

The top one is the Greasy Breakfast for TW and the bottom will be Stacked Breakfast for me. The beef ham is really good. For Stacked Breakfast, I got to choose the type of egg I want (scrambled, sunny side up, etc.), type of sausage (chicken, beef, lamb) and type of bread (white, rhye and the one I ordered, which I forgot it's name because it's quite long). The mushroom on my Stacked Breakfast is really really really super uber good. I like my breakfast more than TW's because it is less oily.

The both of us shared this gorgeous pancake. We poured two small container of maple syrup on it and it was really heaven. It's really good. Another place that serves really good pancakes for breakfast would be The Tappers which is located at the ground floor of my office. It's really soft and nice :) Me likey :p

My English tea. Since I'm having American Breakfast, might as well ordered something that would match the meal. Haha. But then it's really good. Better than Lipton :p Haha. Ohh, I added the brown sugar and it tasted better than white sugar though. It's more healthy as well :)

TW's Half Pint Hot Chocolate. This is the best hot chocolate that I ever have. It's really smooth and creamy. TW really like it too. Just wish that they have bigger size for this beauty :)

The breakfast that we had at The Pink Sage was uber satisfying. The both of us left with a full stomach and happy face. They serve lunch and dinner as well. Breakfast will be served whole day. Definitely will be back for more :)

Went to Sg Wang first to hunt for a simple yet comfy pair of flats for my upcoming trip. After 2 weeks of hunting at different major shopping complex (poor Calvin :p), I finally found one that I really like. After that, we went over to Pavillion to shop a little. Since me and TW have been walking non stop at Sg Wang, once we reached Pavillion we went straight to MOF for drinks and rest our tired feet for a while.

Wanted to try this place for a really long time. Since both of us were still full from the breakfast, we ordered drinks and the most good looking dessert on the menu :)

The one of the left is TW's Mango Smoothie which tasted like a stale fish. Haha. Serious. The taste is really really weird. As if they blend fish scales together with mango. Hehe. The one of the right will be Ribena with Apple. Nothing special about it but all I wanted on a hot day was just a cooling drink to maintain my sanity so that I will not go all grumpy and angry. Haha.

Our dessert. It's a combination of ice cream, red bean paste, fruits, clear jelly (at the bottom), the pink and white yellow thinggy on the left and tong-yuen-look-alike-and-taste-alike thingy on the right. The vanilla ice cream is really really smooth. Equally as good as Haagen but then I think they have a few flavours only. On the bottom of the bowl will be clear jelly which is tasteless but tasted quite good if eat it together with the white sauce (I think it's made of coconut milk with brown sugar). Will be there for more dessert and gossip session in the future.

On Sunday, went out with Calvin around noon. First stop would be his lunch and my brunch :p since I said anything but Western food, he brought me to this place at Uptown for our meal.

My Chicken Chop with sweet & sour sauce. The chicken tasted quite nice but then for me, the sauce is a bit too watery and tasteless.

His braised pork set. The braised pork is really good though. The texture is just right, not too soft. The dark gravy isn't too salty too. I think will be back for their mini steamboat. Looks cute though. I saw the size of the mini steamboat from the counter. It's not as mini as I thought but then anything mini sized will be my first choice (MINI COOPER!!!) Hahaha.

Went to 1U after that for the movie Up. I cried twice during the whole movie. It was really touching. The little old man reminds me of my grandpa. He's really really cute. And the old man, scout, weird bird and talking dog combination are really cute together. Overall, I think the cartoon is really cute and funny.

After movie, we went to Subang for dinner with his family. It was for his grandma's birthday. It will also be the first time I'm meet his parents. I'm so nervous but they turned out to be really fun people. More details if you ask me personally :) and photos... well, no food of photos. It's like normal Chinese food that you can find in a typical Chinese restaurant. If you wanna see group photos... well, that will have to wait for Calvin to upload them to Facebook then :)

Ohh, got to go. Need to sleep early as tomorrow will be early shift for me.

~BuHBaI~

Sorry for the late update. Have been quite busy lately. Hopefully things will slow down just a little soon. 4 important events, 1 down and 3 more to go. Yippie :)

Let's talk about... well, food again. Haha. Sorry for the constant food updates because nothing much worth gossiping lately except Victoria Beckham will be replacing Paula Abdul in American Idol. Although I'm not a fan of the show but it sure will be weird without Paula sitting in the middle of Randy and Simon. She's always the nice judge....

Anyway, enough of drifting off topic. Paid The Cave a second visit. This time is for dinner, the first time was for drinks with friends :) The menu, well, can consider 90% western food. They do serve some Japanese food though, mostly sashimi. Definitely not my type :(

Calvin's chicken burger with standing salad. Haha. Serious, the chef arranged the lettuce standing on the bowl. It's really cute. Hehe. This has to be the least amount of fries found on a western food that I ever had. The burger, well, the chicken patty tasted like minced chicken meat with internal organ. Ewww.... but then Calvin said it's pure chicken meat. Oh well, my wrong :p On the top left is his drink. Tasted EXACTLY like iced milo!! Hahaha.


This is my lasagne. It's really really nice. Especially the slightly burned side. Hehe. Well, as usual, I ordered the food from heaven, again :p But my drink.. ughh, disgusting. It's something like a mixture of sprite with some other stuff that tasted like ... sour longkang water. Serious!! It's really really sour.

Since both of us were full at the end of the meal that night, we did not order any dessert. Furthermore, when we passed by the dessert fridge, nothing looks tempting. Just normal cakes. I think most of them were cheese cakes. Oh well ....

Then he's off to Bali for like forever!! Haha. No no no. Just (wahhh I can't imagine I used the word "just") 4 days 3 nights.... Okay. Let's skip the drama part. Haha.

We went out yesterday. Talked a lot about his trip to Bali and my "holiday" in KL. Haha. I was on a mission to search for the most simple yet comfy flats for my upcoming trip. I went to Mid Valley with Tsuey Wenn the other day. We walked the whole Mid Valley plus The Gardens and nothing.. I repeat.... NOTHING matches my description of "simple yet comfy but pretty" for a pair of flats that is worth me paying for it. BUT... when I entered Charles and Keith, I saw the most pretty bag ever. I held the bag and showed it to Tsuey Wenn while saying "very pretty, very pretty, very pretty, very pretty". Seriously, it really is pretty. REALLY. PRETTY. I wanted to add it to my bag family but decided to say no. I'm looking for a pair of flats, remember? *determined face* I will not simply shop for unnecessary items before my upcoming trip because I planned to shop till crazy there. Can you imagine, me, the me as in me, did not shop for since May. DID. NOT. SHOP. This will be my proudest achievement in my life so far. Haha. But the evil Tsuey Wenn tried to tempt me into buying the bag. She likes the bag too. I don't mind if the both of us bought the exact same bag since both of us used the same wallet. Haha. But no, I did not get the back *sad face* I saw the bag again in Sunway and pointed it out to Calvin. He said it's nice as well okay *depressed face* AHHHHH... I want that bag so so so so much that I am willing to eat the fish from hell. That is how much I wanted the bag. Seriously, it's very pretty.

Okay. Shall not drift away from topic again. Since I hate brunch yesterday while he had breakfast (gosh, he is so healthy.... tsk tsk tsk), I just admired him eating at The Popeyes. He had some boneless chicken which tasted quite nice but the fried batter is absolutely tasteless. The mashed potato is really really absolutely delicious. The coleslaw has this weird taste that I don't know how to describe.


After walking around, I told him that I'm hungry. Haha. Since it's nearly dinner time, he suggested something light. We passed by this dessert stall earlier. So we went back to the same stall. It's called My Honeymoon Dessert. They have nearly 70 different types of dessert. We had a tough time choosing what to order.

This is what I ordered. The black colour is Marble Soy Bean Curd while the white one, well, the normal bean curd. The marble one tasted a bit like... marble. At the end of the meal, I told Calvin my tongue tasted really sandy, really like eating marble. Hahaha. Serious. And for the first time in my entire life, I think that the tau fu fa water tasted really good. Calvin found it really weird and hilarious. Haha.


This is what he ordered. Something like helly with aloe vera and coconut milk. So so only :) okay la, not bad but not too good either. He thought it's something like ice blended but actually it's just served cold. Haha.

After that, we headed straight to Sakae Sushi for dinner. I wanted Japanese food because it's my happy food. Everytime I have Japanese food, I will be really happy because of their presentation of the food. It's all really pretty and nearly all of them tasted really nice :)

My soft shell crab temaki. The best that I had so far is the one just below my office, Hanazen Japanese Restaurant. Seriously, the set meals in Hanazen isn't really that expensive. Normal price found in Japanese Restaurant. Serious :)

The first thing that I caught my attention when I browsed through the menu while waiting to be seated was duck meat. I found this set on the menu that comes along with tempura and my favourite taufu. The taufu is really really good. The duck meat, well, a bit too salty. Maybe it's because of the sauce.

Both of us love Unagi so he ordered this for us. It's quite nice but there's something in the middle that's really hard. I thought I broke my tooth. Haha.

His salmon sashimi which he did not order but he still eat it anyway. Haha. I found it a bit ... disturbing ... to eat raw fish. But he said it's really nice. Oh well....

His raw salmon sushi. Nothing to comment since I did not taste it. Haha.

This is really really good. He was having a hard time trying to convince me that the prawn is cooked. Haha. I am very doubtful to put it in my mouth because I don't eat anything raw. The sauce on top is kind of nice though. Okay la, actually this one is really nice. Happy, dear? Hehe.

My chilled baby octopus. My Japanese meal will never be complete without these babies. Before I put them in my mouth, I told Calvin that it's kind of cruel to be eating this little babies because they are still, well, young. But after all the drama and pity, I consumed them happily. Seriously, they are the best appetizer on earth. Really.

Okay. I ended the week with a happy face, satisfied tummy and a pretty bracelet :) thank you dear :)

Awesome Blackie Four

I'm so happy today. I went for Thai food with friends at Sg Buloh. Yippie!! My last visit to this restaurant was like ... 3 to 4 years ago. It's deep in a kampung and all of a sudden there's this huge bungalow which was decorated nicely.

The toilet is very nice yet simple. One of the most beautiful toilet that I have ever visited. I know it's weird to comment about toilets but this one is too beautiful edi. Can't resist. Hehe :) I just love the fresh flowers on the basin top. Fresh roses wehhhh. Okay, I'm one of those girls who are crazy about flowers especially the certain colour of rose. If you know me well, you will know what colour that I'm talking about.

Eating companions of the day. All 3 of them have this really great patience for keep on u turn around Sg Buloh because I don't remember the way there very well. The last time I was there, the bridge is under construction. It's completed now but I have no idea which exit will leads us up the bridge. Furthermore, all 3 of them were really hungry at that time and it's around 4 something in the evening.

Besides that, I told them that I have no idea whether the restaurant is open today or not. Even if it's open, I don't know if they still serve food at that time. I mean, not many people will take their lunch around 4 something of the day right? It's way after lunch time and quite far away from dinner. Hehe. When we finally found the place, I'm really really happy. At least these hungry ppl stand some chance to eat. I am not hungry at all though. Hehe.

The corridor which leads us to the restaurant. I love their interior and exterior design because it so Thai-ish. It's like one of those hotel that I saw in Phuket last time. Gosh, talking about Phuket, I missed going to the beach. Never ever have any sunrise-and-sunset-watching experience before. Usually when I reached the beach in the evening, the sun is already gone. As for sunrise, it's a bit hard for me to wake up for it. By the time I'm wide awake, the sun is already high up in the sky. Haha.


Name of the restaurant. I think the umbrella is somehow their logo or something because I saw them on the grill of the windows as well.


Ohh, let's have a look at our food :)


Really really really really "old" but sweet coconut. I can't even remove the flesh from the coconut. It's really thick and hard :(

Our seafood tom yam. I prefer the one in Hulu Langat though. It's not spicy and sour enough. I'm not the only who think that way okay. My food companions for the day think the same way too.

The belacan kangkung. I love the carrot rose. It's so pretty :) Rose is one of my favourite colour. Just not this colour okay. But.... I have never see an orange colour rose though. I mean a real rose kind of rose. Ahh.... you get what I mean.

Thai syle beancurd. Basically it's Japanese toufu cooked together with seafood and chicken meat. It tasted quite nice though. Japanese toufu is my favourite toufu okay. Ohh, if you pay close attention to the photo, you will notice that the carrots in the dish is cut into a butterfly shape. It's so pretty!!



Pandan chicken. One of my favourite because it's boneless. Hehe. Furthermore, they minced the chicken meat first and mixed it with certain spices and wrapped it with pandan leaves. Quite nice actually just that it's a bit too oily for me :)

Those were basically what we had for lunch today. I'm glad that I have a bunch of great friends who are willing to go this place for me even though I kept on repeating that I have no idea if I know the way and not sure if they will like the food or not. For me, I love this place's interior and exterior design more than it's food. Not to say the food are not good. It's actually quite okay, in my opinion. Just that I prefer the one in Hulu Langat more :)


Okay, that's all for now. I have to attend to my princess Baby who is so emo right now because I'm not around for 2 days. She kept on jumping up on my lap and tap my hand so that I will sayang her. Attention seeker or what?!?!!?

Team Building Revealed :)

Has been really sick after team building. Viral fever and gastritis and vomitting. Haihh, I survived the team building but failed the work-after-team-building days. Hehe. Getting much better now. Declared myself Ms Bread 2009 because has been eating a lot of bread lately. During sick days, has been eating nothing but bread the whole day. The sight of food made me nausea. The incredible thing was I didn't lose any weight. Haihhh... Anyway, some updates for the past few weeks :)


Everybody, meet the world biggest ass hamster, Miss Piggu. Miss Piggu is Leng and Vince's pet. As you can see, the hamster has a really big ass. But isn't she cute and adorable and tiny?? The way she sleeps reminds me of Baby, which made me miss her so much. Hehe. She's sleeping just beside me at this moment. I wonder what will happen if I suddenly kick her off the bed. Haha. Of course I won't do that. She's my precious :)

Lately, there has been a lot of tea session with Pui See and TW. We would talk (gossip, to be precise) for hours about everything. Talk talk talk talk and laugh. The other day when we overnight at Leng's place, we went to The Curve for brunch and gossip session again.


My drink and TW's drink. I forgot the name of the drinks but they tasted kind of nice. Especially mine :)

My brunch for the day. I ended up eating all the fishes and mushroom while Pui See had the noodle. It was quite nice, I should say. Better than other cafe's Tom Yum.

This would be my all time favourite biscuit from Penang. Have been craving for it lately. Thanks to Stephen for getting me 2 boxes when I'm craving for it the most. Haha. It's still really really good. For those who frequently visit Penang or are from Penang that always visit KL, do let me know. Need your kind help to get me these yummy yummy biscuits :)

This is Baby's new look after grooming. Somehow, I think she looks better this way. More clean and tidy and fresh looking. The scarf was given by the pet shop people. I thought it was something with nice smell but the staff told me it was a gift to Baby. Haha. Lucky baby :)



Since the second session of team building has ended yesterday, I think it's safe for me to reveal some of the pics that I took during the first session.

View from my apartment. Facing the highway to... ermm ... no idea where it is though. Hehe. Somehow the mountain has this really calming effect if you stare at it for a really long time. Haha.

The living room with pink sofa. So nice and cute :) Each apartment comes with a small kitchen and dining area. Way better than my what I have expected earlier. Way way better ;)

The room that I shared with Janice. When we're alone in the room, we can talk and talk and talk for just about anything. The first night, both of us talked until 2am in the morning. Both of us have the exactly same habit of staying in a hotel. Hehe.

During team buidling, each group has to come out with a Webpage design. These are what we did in like, 30 minutes I think.

This is the view from the pool at night :)

It was really nice sitting by the pool. They have these lazy chairs where you can sit there and enjoy the quiet night. Too bad there's not much stars that night. I did not even swim in the pool because there was no enough time. Really regret for not swimming that night. It's hard to find a swimming pool nowadays. For me at least. Furthermore, there's no people using the pool at night. I can swim and swim without stopping. Haihhh...

That's all for now. Need to sleep. Tomorrow is another working day ;)
