Food for Affection and Passion!!

I think I am overload. I need some sweet stuffs to make my life seems better and to make this world a better one. But, too bad..it's 2.29 a.m. and I am still strugling in editing my thesis..gosh...
Thought of an interesting topic. Wanna introduce some food that will make you feel loved, and thus being passionate and affectionate!!


1. Ice - cream


I LOVE ice-cream. Chocolate, rum n' raisin, berries, mango, green tea...... ice cream makes the world so colourful and I think it is one of the greatest food in the world!! When you're depressed and no one is there for you, buy yourself a huge carton of ice-cream, eat it like that or mix it with nuts, raisin or even make it into milk shake. Upon finishing a large portion of the ice-cream you have, you'll feel better. Try it! Know what, even when I am sick, I will always hope that someone would buy me Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dazs, so that I can recover soon... haha...
And, don't you think having ice-cream with your loved one while cuddling together will be a very sweet and romantic act? Let the ice-cream melts in between your tongue and palate, and feel the pleasure...






Maui Chocolate Brownie (Favourite at Baskin Robbins) pairs with pineapple and banana, topped with juicy strawberries. What a combination made in heaven!!




Baskin Robbins again ... (left) green tea and (right) Maui Chocolate Brownie. There are sooooooooooooo many flavours in Baskin Robbins but my favourite are Love Portion # 31 (yummy yummy...), rum n' raisin and chocolate fudge. Other recommendation will be chocolate peanut butter and rasberry louise cheesecake :P

I love Haagen Dazs ice-cream as well, particularly their mango flavour, and Boysen Berries flavour for New Zealand Natural Ice-Cream!!



Hazelnut and green tea ice-cream with lotsa whipped cream at 1920 Cafe (if not mistaken) in Bandar Utama. I like Hazelnut but this ice-cream was just so-so.

One of the most "creative" hazelnut + green tea ice-cream that I have ever tried was the "Teppanyaki Ice-cream" serves in Latest Recipe at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur. The green tea ice cream there is just so nice to be eaten with crushed hazelnut and almost 40 other condiments that you can choose to go with your ice-cream! (Have fun with your ice cream?!?)

And have you tried Saffron ice-cream? Yeah, saffron for ice-cream, NOT for cooking! It's a type of middle eastern (Turkish or Lebanese I guess) ice-cream in bright yellow and serve with sweet "Vizir Finger", whipped cream and strawberries :) Available in the Middle Eastern restaurant - Al-Nafourah in Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur as well.

2. Chocolate


Chocolate, or scientifically know as "Theobroma" was once the precious food served only to the aristocrats or even God. ("Theobroma" means food for the God). Chocolate, especially dark chocolate helps to prevent heart disease. And guess what, chocolate is recognized as food that helps to reduce stress and stimulates sex drive. Erm, believe it or not is very much depends on you. However, try putting a piece of nice chocolate and let it melts in your mouth and I guess you can pretty much feel the pleasure and sensation...



Chocolate brownie / cake / whatever-you-called-it in 1920 Cafe, Bandar Utama. A rather small piece, kinda cheap, but good enough to satisfy your desire for chocolate ;)


Waiting to try those hand-crafted precious chocolate in places like Theobroma Chocolate Lounge and Godiva :(


3. Wine / Liquor / Cocktail


I truly believe that alcohol makes the world a better place. Not asking you to be drunk all the time, but occasionally get the feeling of half drunken and you will feel so relaxed!! Get some gin tonic or pinot blanc with your loved one on a Saturday night, have some sweet talks... my, my... nothing can be more wonderful than that!



Cocktails that we ordered in Langkawi ... (Upper left) tequila sunrise in orange, mojito, some-sort-of-weird-no-name-melon cocktail, (lower left) cocoa de methe creme? (can't remember the name, sorry), malibu pineapple and bacardi limon with coke.

For me, any of these sweet food will be great, if I have it with the right person :) I think same goes to everyone!!
