Goodbye 19 and Starts Another Decade of Life!

Turned 20 on the 2nd of December. Took nearly a month to organize all the pictures, finalizing my thesis and went through all the hard time while organizing my college campaign. So, in the midst of editing my thesis (again =.=), I take some time to update how I celebrated my 20th birthday in Centro, KL Sentral.

I like Centro, one of the reason being is they serve fantastic food from starter to dessert. Used to hang out there very frequent when Lisa and Sjakie were still in Malaysia. Now they are gone, both back to Germany and Netherlands and I didn't go there for quite a while until I decided to have my party there :)

The Bar inside Centro. Maybe it's a Monday, kinda quiet though, with only a few guests scattered around...

One of the starter ... Seafood coldplate that consists of scallop, shrimps, oyster and lettuce. Very nice presentation :)

Can't see what is this? Let me tell you!! It's my favourite in Centro - Cheese Nachos. Golden crispy nachos serve with extravagant cheese, sour cream, jalapeno and olives! A must-order food whenever I go Centro.

Main course ... (left) seafood pizza with mussels and shrimps and spaghetti aglio olio (right).

Pollo chicken pizza ... slices of chicken breast and pineapples as toppings on a thin crust pizza.

Spaghettie Vongole ... Spaghetti with clamssssss.... Goes perfectly well with chilli flakes and some peppers. My best loved pasta :)


Another main course that I haven't got the chance to take the food shot before being eaten is the grilled lamb :( what a waste...

My cocktail of the night ... no flaming Lamborghini for the birthday girl as she needed to go to college the next morning :) So I got myself a Blue Lagoon that night. I don't quite like the taste. Margharita and Gin Tonic taste much better...

Dessert!! A very unique dessert that I like the most - Sticky dates cake serves with vanilla ice-cream. Simply DeLiCious!!

Apple crumble with vanilla ice-cream ... I'm not a big fan of apple crumble as I don't quite like cinammon. But my friends like it, so... okay!!

Peach melba serve with vanilla and chocolate ice-cream ... I think I can make this simple dessert at home as well :P

All girls in the party (Jeff was forced to be the photographer, haha)... (from left) Lai Yee aka Thai Man, me, Corrine ah-so, Sistaa Regina, Julia Bao and Win Sien.

My best partners and friends in college ... me and the sweet funny couple (Win Sien and Jeff). We went through so much harsh time in completing our assignments and thesis...

Lai Yee aka Thai Man was very ... erm... "thick face"... Corrine and Win Sien didn't want to take picture with her (even the photographer, me also refused to count her in,haha)... tried so hard to make herself appear in the photo no matter how, wakakakkakaka....

Me and my present from Sistaa gang (Regina, Corrine, Lai Yee and Julia). BIG THANKS!!

Well, time flies, I guess this will be the last time I ever have a chance to have such party with my classmates because we are graduating soon , how sad... Everyone is flying to UK, except me ... haha... maybe I didn't make a birthday wish to fly to UK :)

Thanks for all the great memories we have!

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!!
