Premium Bubble Milk Tea @ Ochado, Pavilion KL

7 Comments

Are you an avid fan of Bubble Milk Tea?

Earlier we have Snowflake, Chatime. Then Gongcha. Now the brand new one is Ochado. All of them are in KL except for Chatime which has now expand to Johor and Malacca. So, if you are an avid fan and also lives in KL….you are so lucky….. And I’m so jealous =_=

Earlier I posted about ‘Tokyo Street” the place where I visited last weekend.

Then I saw this Ochado which appear to have about the same popularity as Chatime. It definitely do not stop me from giving a try. Why waste this opportunity since I’m already there.

Started since 19 March 2010 in Singapore, Ochado brought in new drinks with Japanese concept which is the japanese brewing skill to attract the attention of consumers. Ochado is originated from two words – OCHA & CHADO. Ochado, originating from Japan. Focus on brewing the best quality tea with the most natural and freshest ingredients. Strive to make every drink to perfection.

Though its crowded, the order came pretty fast.

The Ochado team were busy at work….preparing our drinks

Choose your desired flavors, toppings and size from the menu. So many types..I hardly decide. On safe side, let us all choose ‘best seller’. Stamped as good I suppose.

Premium Milk Tea : Ochado’s Roasted Milk Tea (with Pearls)

Original flavor milk tea. Served with quality. Every sip of brewed fragrant tea suits my taste and its not too sweet. Mustn’t miss out the chewy pearls by just adding RM1. I noticed that their pearls are slightly smaller than those from Chatime.

QQ Tea : Coffee Crystals Milk Tea

Same milk tea, but what made this different from the rest? It has ‘Coffee Crystals’. A jelly form cubes which has crunchy texture with taste of coffee.

Fusion Iced Tea : Honey Aloe Vera Tea

Do you like a mild drink? Or less complicate one. Honey flavored tea with small aloe vera bits which easily sip through the straw, would be a good choice. (A mixture of red tea and honey as the sweetener).

Iced Lemonade : Ochado’s Lemonade (with pearl)

 A mixture of green tea and pure lime juice with 1 no. of preserved sour plum. A very refreshing drink, best to consume during hot weather. But if you are not into sour stuff, you may find this too sour.

**Do try out their Okinawa Matcha Milk Tea with Azuki Beans and Pop Eggs Milk Tea.**

Dinner @ 72 Degrees, Seremban 2

6 Comments

In Seremban, when it comes to make a decision on Western Food… Kensington would be my first choice and Fireworkz as my second choice. I reckon this 2 place serves best western food in Seremban town.

Recently, I’ve discovered this newly opened restaurant in Seremban 2.  (just a short distance from my house). Couple of months ago, we were aware of the  renovation. We had a rough guess that this could be a restaurant serving western food. True enough!  72 Degrees is the chosen name. Gonna do an experiment* on whats good here. ^^

A small shop occupying the ground floor.

Simple Interior

Passion Apple – RM5.20

Fruit Juice, mixed of both Passion Fruit & Apple. Has slight sourish taste because of the passion fruit. (for passion fruit lover)

Passion Orange – RM5.20

Complimentary Charcoal Bun with Butter was nice.

Cream of Mushroom – RM6.50

The soup is very creamy. Unfortunately I felt its more on the salty side. Moreover I preferred cream of mushroom soup with mushroom chunks in it.

Cream of Fettuccine with Butter Fish – RM16

Taste wise so so only. Moreover the sauce was not creamy enough. However the pan-fried butter fish managed to uplift the score for this dish.

Grill Pork Chop with Sausage – RM25

Served with mashed potato and salad. I would consider this serving was big for me. 2 pieces of pork chop and 2 huge cheese sausages served with brown sauce. The pork chop’s meat was tender but abit salty. What I like most was the fat sausages. Very tasty!

The oozing cheese from the sausage

My usual Sunday Brunch @ Kopitiam Sin Cheong Kee, Seremban

4 Comments

This is my usual place for Sunday Brunch. Yeap…combining my breakfast & lunch. *hassle free*

Thus I am patronizing this place ever since the “G-Yuk Fun” has moved from Seremban 2 to Kopitiam Sin Cheong Kee located at Oakland Commercial Square. – An ordinary coffee shop serving Chinese Hawker food.  There are 2 stalls which I am emphasizing here. The Wantan Mee Stall & Pork Noodle Stall. Usually I will order a bowl of Konlou G-Yuk Fun(Pork Noodle-dry version). But last Sunday I was fortunate to try this delicious bowl of Laksa Noodle which usually sold out by 12pm!!

Before the meal begins, lets have a cold glass of MilkTea at the price of RM1.40. The ‘teh ping’ here is good! Rice tea flavor combines well with evaporated milk.

There came my bowl of Laksa (from the Wantan Mee Stall). I chose fine egg noodle (used as Wantan Mee). I like it to be spicier. Therefore a spoonful of chili paste will be great! The curry broth is rich in flavor. Aunty wasn’t stingy with the ingredients. I have half hard boiled egg, fresh cockles, fish balls, fried beancurd, spongy taufu pok & fried wantan, all in my bowl of laksa for just RM3.80.

Sis ordered Pan Mee (Flour Noodle)- (from Pork Noodle Stall) for RM3.80/bowl. Instead of the usual peel or flat type, she chose thin, strand type. It appears more like Ramen. These noodles are cook upon order. Caution! Becareful burning your tongue on the hot soup.

Alex ordered Konlou G-Yuk Fun (Dry Version of Pork Noodle) for RM4.00. Hmm….came to think of it…Alex had this every Sunday le.. @_@      A bowl of chewy ‘lai fun’ mixed with dark & light soy sauce, oil and topped with tasty minced pork. Another bowl of soup with pork comes separately. Usually pork noodle has pork intestines, pork liver, pork slices bring to boil together. Here; Alex prefers only with minced pork. You can also opt for soup version of different type of noodle.

My Tea Break – Pisang Goreng & Keropok Lekor

7 Comments

Pisang Goreng (Banana Fritter) is a common snack food in Malaysia. The banana is battered and then deep fried. While Keropok Lekor is a delicacy from Terengganu. There are 2 types. 1 is the dark grey and the other one is white color(steam). The difference is that both are using different type of fish to make. If you happens to travel to Terengganu, make sure you must try the white steamed one. Served with flaming hot sambal belacan. Its irresistibly!! (hope to provide you with photo)

Last Saturday, I went to City Park, Seremban 2 just to fetch some Pisang Goreng for my tea break. Unfortunately I was too early. Pisang Goreng were not ready. Therefore I returned the following day, at about 2pm. This round I was fortunate – seeing those golden color Pisang Goreng placed in the tray. Ohh ya..not forgetting Keropok Lekor which is yummy too! All are served warm.

This mobile street stall runs by a Malay couple. I specifically choose only this stall because both its Pisang Goreng & Keropok Lekor are good!


A plate of plump golden brown Pisang Goreng for just RM2. (RM1 for 5 pcs). This must be consume while its warm. A bite of it you are able to hear some “krok krok” sound effect. Crispy batter….sweet, ripe & firm banana.

I like to dip the pisang into this bowl of kicap pedas(spicy soy sauce)- sauce was given for free; upon request. How to make the sauce—> Kicap Pedas

There are 2 types of Keropok Lekor here. The thin crispy and the rather plump size(which you can taste it like fish cake). With a value price of RM1 for 5 pcs.

Dip the crispy keropok lekor in the bowl of chili sauce (sauce given for free). Happily seeing it soaked in the sauce…. YUMMM….

Tong Yuen (Rice Dumpling) @ 1+1 Kopitiam, Seremban

3 Comments

I was getting excited when I saw this newly hung banner at this 2-Story shop. There are serving tong yuen. Tong yuen (Rice Dumpling) is also my favorite. Or shall I say I love most of  desserts  made of glutinous rice flour. Not many eatery in Seremban serves tong yuen. Ya…I know I can easily purchase a packet of vacuum packed tong yuen from Supermarket and boil it myself. But most of the time, I’m just lazy to do it …

Therefore being lazy, I would prefer to get a ready to eat ones.

Aside from Tong Yuen, they do serve noodles, rice and tong sui.

Economy Fried Bihun + Mee – RM1.50 (without egg)

For an economy breakfast, this is not bad. Especially the sambal which is yummy.

Konlou Lou Shee Fun – RM4.00

Taste wise is good. However I would prefer if its ‘darker’ (more black soy sauce).

Hakka Mee – RM4.00

The Hakka Mee was surprisingly good lor. Noodles were tangy and minced pork were tasty!!

Rice Dumpling in Soya Bean – RM2.50(3 pcs)

These are homemade rice dumpling. Wasn’t too sure if the soy bean is homemade. Since its not too sweet…I like it!

Taa Daahh**drum rolls**….revealing the best part!! Rice Dumpling stuffed with peanuts. (My favorite ahhh!!)

Dinner @ After 5 Uptown Cafe, Seremban 2

2 Comments

Another new hangout place for the youngsters. Erm…I shouldn’t say it new anymore. Because previously it was closed for renovation and now it has resumed its business since 28th June 2011. I noticed the number of cafes started to bloom here in Seremban. Yah…that’s good for me 🙂

I visited this cafe before and after the renovation. I’m not too sure whether did the management changed as well. Apparently, the whole menu was totally different from last time. Moreover they no longer serving pork dishes. *SIGH* (I like porky wor….)

Yeap….its HALAL now!!

Honestly I do not like the new menu. I hardly decide what to eat. There wasn’t much choice for me to choose. Why?? 65% of the menu comprised of desserts and drinks. Snacks and main course are the remaining 35%.  *Geez*

Cute Menu

The ambiance (sorry for the poor resolution)

Part of the dessert pages from menu. I’m tempted to try all of them. Hehehe….

By the way; minutes after the waitress took our order, then I remember that I should inform them to serve my dessert ‘after meal’. Unfortunately the waitress told me that my order already sent to the kitchen. Can’t change. **Huh…can’t do anything?? It was just like a minute wor…so fast they have done it meh???** Fine…I don’t blame her. Its the employer’s fault!! “Untrained staff”. Should ask  customers whether to serve dessert before or after meal….

Honeydew Pudding Snow – RM8.50 (recommended)

This ice dessert was served as the very first item. Being worried that the ice will melt fast; I was so hooked up to it. Bottom layer consist of pearls and sago then overlay with mango flavored pudding. Covered with crushed ice, smothered with fragrant gula melaka and topped with honeydew & passion fruit. Quite unique.

Grass Jelly with Taro Balls – RM5.90

Sorry to say….this is way different from SNOWFLAKES! Booo…

Need to improve… (I don’t mean to be bias ya)

Pomelo Plum – RM5.90 (recommended)

A refreshing drink indeed!

Ice Honey Lemon – RM5.00

Ice Lime Tea – RM4.00

Chicken Chop Rice – RM11.90 (so so only)

Seafood Kuey Teow Soup – RM10.90

At least this is better than my chicken chop rice ler..  The prawns were fresh. However I felt that the soup is alil bland. If only an extra pinch of salt to it would be even better.

Lala Soup Noodles – RM8.90

Dry Noodles (with Kimchi) – RM6.90

Just ignored the Kimchi, the noodles would be great! Because the Kimchi taste weird.

Dinner @ Rakuzen, GTower

9 Comments

After meeting the GALS on Saturday at Pavilion ; I head to GTower as Alex’s friends were waiting for us there for dinner. “Somebody” misses Japanese so much therefore we chose Rakuzen at GTower.  I admit that I love Japanese food also. Since we were there early, getting seats wouldn’t be any problem. Ya…we even gotten a private room too. Guessed the staff knew it much earlier that this group of people would be NOISY!  Hmm…I certainly agreed. **Kawan kawan sekalian, sila perlahankan suara anda…jangan ketawa kuat sangat**

Rakuzen offers quality & authentic Japanese food. I noticed the expanding Japanese food over places in KL. Rakuzen, Hokkaido Ichiba, Zen and Kura they are all under the same management (Super Dining) offering different range of Japanese food.

I like the interior. Bright and cosy. The menu is pretty impressive too. Offers an extensive selection from starter to appetizer and dessert.


The complementary Green Tea & Hot Towel

Shishamo – RM10 (3 pcs)

It may sound abit pricey. But you must try it to ensure the price is worth to pay. Because it taste different & much better compared to Sushi King’s.

Chawanmushi – RM10

The egg was very smooth. Extra credits to the crabstick, shitake mushroom, chicken meat and prawns hidden beneath.

Agedashi Tofu – RM12

Sorry, it was suppose to be 4 pieces. After eaten only I remember I forgotten to take a photo of it. For tofu lovers, you will like this. The tofu is very smooth with lightly crisp skin.

Nameko Soba – RM18

I wanted something light. Therefore I ordered this. The serving was so big that I couldn’t finish (dunno what’s wrong with my stomach that day). This wheat noodle was nicely cooked with flavorful soup.

Tenjyu – RM26

Japanese steamed rice topped with assorted tempura.

Sake Oyako Don – RM23

Japanese steamed rice topped with fresh salmon slices.

Teppanyaki Zen – RM38/set

Comes with a bowl of fragrant garlic fried rice, miso soup, steamed pumpkin, teppanyaki beef and some cut fruits.

Yakiniku Zen – RM36/set

Comes with a bowl steamed Japanese rice, miso soup, steamed pumpkin,  beef  slices and some cut fruits. The thinly sliced beef were nicely cook. The meat are tender and tasty!

Buffet @ The Mill, Grand Millennium KL

22 Comments

With an irresistible deal offered by Everyday (a website that constantly offers great deals) for only RM39.90 we were able to enjoy an international buffet in a 5 Star Hotel. What a steal!! All thanks to Christine whom enlightened us about this deal!! Initially we wanted to use this as a reason to have a small gathering among the MB members. However within 2 days… with an overwhelming response…its SOLD OUT! They managed to sell about a thousand over coupons. Such a good deal, who doesn’t want wor…Me myself managed to grab few for my family.

It end up just myself, Ashley and Christine went for the buffet. A reservation was made few days before we were there. (advisable to do so to avoid disappointment). The Mill, Grand Millennium KL is strategically located next to Pavilion Shopping Centre and directly opposite Fahrenheit 88. The Mill served International Fusion cuisines with a comfy ambiance. I was quite impressed with the varieties of food they served.

Dinner @ Canton-i, Sunway Pyramid

4 Comments

Papa suggested to have dinner here. Canton-i; the Hong Kong cuisine – ain’t my first visit. My previous visit; we had some different dishes from this round. I do admit that it has nice ambiance. (simple Chinese style deco with white tables and chairs). Nevertheless; the price are indeed more pricey if you compare the same wanton noodle with those at hawker stalls. Yet during peak hours, its quite crowded too. People here are willing to pay more for better environment and comfort.

Braised Peanuts – RM2/ plate

(I thought this was given free~~~) But it taste nice and the nuts are soft enough.

Jasmine Flower Tea – RM5

3 Combination (Roasted Chicken+Roasted Pork+BBQ Pork) – RM32 (recommended)

Roasted Chicken – Meat are tender and tasty.

BBQ Pork – BBQ to perfection. Nice sauce coated on the lean and juicy pork.

Roasted Pork – Ain’t too fatty…I like it. Meat are tender and most important is the skin are crispy!

Braised Garoupa Belly with Garlic and Pork Belly – RM32

Taste ok but nothing special. Not worth it!

Steamed Egg with Minced Pork – RM13.80

Though it look simple…taste wise is not bad. The steamed egg was very smooth.

Sauteed Scallops with Broccoli – RM32

Nothing special either.

Amaranth(Bayam) with Century Egg & Salted Egg in Superior Soup – RM16.80

The picture on menu looks nicer. I think the ‘tai chaw’ restaurant makes better.

Dried Scallop & Squash Superior Soup – RM28

This soup is tasty & yummy. Boiled with pork ribs and each sliced of squash were stuffed with dried scallop. However it looks alil oily.

Egg Tarts – RM9.60 (recommended)

This is my favorite egg tart. The freshly bake egg tarts with flaky crust and creamy warm egg custard which I adore most.

Double Boiled Hasma with Red Dates – RM12/bowl

I want to look youthful..I want to have flawless skin…So I must eat more….*slurping down my throat*

**I felt the food above not worth it. I much prefer their noodles and congee  is the best!! **

Dessert Time @ Snowflake, SS15

7 Comments

There’s always this small space in my stomach spared for dessert. Dessert can actually made a person happier. *that would be me of course*

Right after our lunch at Face to Face Noodles House, SS15, we decided to go for dessert at Snowflake which is just a walking distance (back row of shops). Yea..just name me ‘tam jiak’…  ^^

SNOWFLAKE is trademarked Taiwanese dessert concept which started off in 2009. It has now expand with several outlets in KL. (Subang, Pavilion, Kota Damansara, Kuchai and Sungei Wang).

We were there at around 12.30pm. Surprisingly the door was closed. Looked at the business hour…*Alamak…opens at 1pm ler! What to do..already all the way there, wait lor… Apparently not only us eagerly waited for the door to open. There were also other customers. *raised eyebrow*

At 1pm…Its still quite vacant.

Queue up to place your order. Yeap…self service.

Jeng Jeng Jeng….I’ve successfully collected 10 stamps. I’m gonna redeem a free bowl of dessert. Getting a new card as well…

After you placed an order and made your payment, you will be given this ‘beeping UFO’. (really look like an UFO too). What is that for?? Bring it over to you seat. Once you see this “UFO” vibrates and with blinking lights, means your dessert is ready and you may collect them from the counter.

Snowflake Bestseller – RM6.90 (recommended)

This is my favorite! Bottom is iced glass jelly, covered with layer of glass jelly and topped with taroballs. Add the creamer for extra flavors. The taroballs are chewy and I usually save for the last!

A closer view

Tohua Series (with only kidney beans) – RM5.00

A bowl of cold smooth smooth tohua together with the nicely cooked kidney bean.

Tohua Series (with sweet potato, pearls, taroballs) – RM6.50

For tohua series; you may choose your desired topping. (green bean, red bean, peanuts, barley, kidney bean, black glutinous rice, sweet potato, baby pearl, pearl, lotus seed, taro, taroballs, sesame balls). The tohua can be either cold or hot too.

Sea Amber Jelly – RM6.90

An icy dessert topped with jelly and pearls. Hmmm…not really my liking.

Half an hour later…..It became so crowded now! So good business….
