Buffet at Kitchen Art Brasserie, Empire Hotel Subang

 

Been eating a lot in the past month. Two weeks ago went to Kitchen Art Brasserie at Empire Hotel Subang for the buffet. Bought voucher from a discount company. Sort of a birthday cum Christmas cum New Year celebration with a friend. 

 

The place not that big. Kinda Cozy. They had a great outdoor view but Mamarazzi was worried if I run outside. ....later become "superboy" cham liao.

Was looking forward to the buffet lunch so I skipped breakfast. Guess what is the first thing I zoomed in when I arrived at the buffet? Nope....not noodle. Surprise surprise...it was rice. Change of makan habit again.

Mamarazzi pulak opposite of me. She zoomed in the fried noodles. Got her favourite Prawns cook with Sambal Petai(stinky beans).

Next ...dessert......quite a lot of sweet cakes and stuffs like that. Siapa cepat, dia dapat (The ones fastest, got it). 

Mamarazzi was slow with her food. Thought eat these sweet dessert later la. Mana tau when she went to look for some around 2pm, all these cute cakes gone already. Only puddings and some "Kuih" were left. Waited but tarak replenish. 

Papa said maybe they stopped replenishing after 2pm plus so that the food would not be wasted. No worries leh. If really want, can ask from them. But Mamarazzi paiseh to ask la.

I enjoyed taking bits of everything. Tu lah....I offered Mamarazzi some of mine earlier, she "jual mahal", didn't want. Now habis liao. But okay lah.....she spotted something else.

 

Yup....dunno where she found this. Banana Splits.....I also want la.Cari Cari cannot find. Asked her....oh .D.I.Y rupanya. They have ice cream there and they also have banana as fruits for the guests. Hence Mamarazzi just took a banana, some ice cream  and made it into Banana Splits loh

Selection of food wise, Mamarazzi said okay la. Not too much and not too little. Taste wise quite good. 

Only grouse was that they don't serve Coffee for the buffet. Asked the waiter. Said only have Teh Tarik(Pulled tea) and chrysanthemum drink. 

 

Eat so much...no coffee...sleepy leh... Tummy full liao...best go home and sleep. hehehehe

Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans

Ever heard of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans? Those who are Potterheads will sure know about this. I didn't know what it is till Mamarazzi told me about this boy, Harry Potter. He is the hero in wizarding world and in his school they have these Every Flavour Beans.

 

A friend had just came back from Japan and surprise surprise......goodies for us. paiseh paiseh...Thank you very much, Manglish.

 Among the goodies was a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean.

 

 How colourful they are......sure to taste good, right?

For those who are in the dark, these are not normal Jelly Beans. Like what stated in the box, it's all flavour beans. That mean it does not only consist of sweet and nice tasting beans. There are also jelly beans that taste of vomit, dirt, rotten egg, black pepper, booger, earthworms, earwax, grass, sausage and soap

 Got a "guide" here but all written in Japanese .

After one black pepper and ginseng tasting beans, Mamarazzi google and found the English translation. Ohh....the ginseng one actually is "dirt". While the vegetable tasting one is actually "Grass".  Soap ones still bearable la. But the rotten eggs ones are super yucky.

 Dare to try one? This could be rotten egg or lemon.....take a guess.

I choose mostly bright colors ones. Those usually are safe....except for orange.....vomit taste........

Mamarazzi wonder if we have it here in Malaysia. Can buy and prank people.... *evil grinz*

Kedai Makanan Mun Wah Hokkien Mee, Kuala Lumpur(revisited)

 So far we have "tapau" Hokkien mee from Mun Wah but never really sit down and eaten there before. Mainly due to parking and the restaurant are always full. Hard to get a table.

This round we are lucky . Managed to get a parking spot though night time seems to be "man" by non-authorised person.

Though many people, service was fast. Hokkien Mee portion for two person. Taste....was real good for me. I can;t get enough of it. They even put in liver and intestine which is hard to come by in any hokkien mee nowadays.

 Fried Bihun portion for one person. Loaded with crunchy lards.

The sambal...hmm...okay la...For Mamarazzi she still like the sambal from the Bittergourd hokkien mee place.

Here is the address should you be down town today and wishes to have delicious Hokkien Mee, No 55, Jalan Maharajalela, 50150 Kuala Lumpur.  03-2144-7404

Texas Chicken - Jaya Shopping Center & Midvalley

Must "siasat" (investigate) what this Texas Chicken is all about. Heard of it from many people leh. But finally managed to drop by one outlet last November.

Papa had some work to do so we also followed him la. After that went to Jaya Shopping Center jalan-jalan see the "new" place.

Mamarazzi saw Texas Chicken then. Jom pi makan . Ahem...got free WIFI and free flow of soft drink/ice lemon tea.

Mamarazzi wanna try their chicken....while I wanna try their wrap

Similar to another famous Fried Chicken Fast Food over here, the set comes with fries, mash potatoes, colesaw and a bun/muffin(what you call that ah?)

I didn't like coz Mamarazzi ordered Spicy chicken. But I sure love their fries. Very big size.

My Texas Chicken Wrap. Kinda small but just nice for me. 

I love it so much that when we went to Midvalley  .....I "bodek" Mamarazzi to makan Texas Chicken with me since Papa had brought Ah Kong, Ah Mah to have lunch with a relative after their check up.

"V" for victory coz Mamarazzi said okay lah.

Again I asked for the Chicken Wrap.

 This round...maybe coz all the walking and shopping...me super hungry leh....I "baham" Mamarazzi's fried Chicken set too. Nah...I didn't eat all la...I ate only one drumstick ma.

Lucky this round she also beh tahan the spicy chicken...she ordered the "ori" chicken.

Texas Chicken is now my new "favourite" chicken.......ahem ahem...can suggest the put in a playland ka? That would be perfect lo.

Dear Diary - First Day

Dear Diary,

Today is the first day of the next 6 years of my life. Mamarazzi said earlier on, my kindergarten life was an easy one. Next 6 years will be tough.

Guess there will be pressure from the school, teachers and various quarters  for me to do well in studies; to get into the best classes as there are rumours that the teachers only do their best for kids in the best classes.  Inevitably, my results will be "on show" and be compared against other kids.

Hopefully, Papa and Mamarazzi will not succumb to the pressure and start comparing me with others coz 人比人, 比死人 (human compared human, compared till die) leh.

Best classes or not, as long as I learn something useful enough la. No matter how good or bad my result is in Primary school, it would not be use for any job interview leh. Many companies won't even wanna look at secondary school result nowadays.

So just chill it  man! am just a kid. All I wanna do is have fun.

How am I taking it in my first day of school? Mamarazzi said I should be like a fish in the water lah. Am not the shy type. Sure can make friends easily. Maybe too friendly till will get "scolding" from teacher on the first day *LOL*.

Have already visited the school for Orientation last month. I know where is the assembly hall, the toilet and most important of all THE CANTEEN. Fierce teacher? Loads of homework? New environment?  天塌下来, 意被盖(direct translation from Cantonese - sky fall down, use as blanket aje lah).Most important matter is food for my tummy. Have learn how to buy food and what to to after that.

So here goes a brand new "era" for me. Let you know more when I can. Ciao for now!

Lai Mien (Hand Pulled Noodles?) at Oasis Food Court, Midvalley KL

 

We seldom go to Midvalley as it's quite far from our home. Last December went there coz Papa bringing Ah Kong and Ah Mah for their quarterly check up at the hospital. 

Since it's near Christmas time, Mamarazzi and me pun  cabut to Midvalley for a tad of Christmas shopping la. 

They had flora or something theme last year. Personally, Mamarazzi doesn't feel much of Chrismassy with this theme. It looked very pretty but....

The Flowers arrangement was very pretty. She kept asking me to stand next to it to snap pic. But but.....they put floral scent on the flowers leh....Me don't likey flora scent. 

Before start shopping...gotta fill the tummy first leh. Not yet 10am....walk here walk there...shop and makan shop not opened. Thought wanna eat Esquire Kitchen breakfast geh....RM5+ only leh...but the went there....dunno moved to where already. 

Went up to the food court near the cinema....most have not open yet.....saw one stall opened...stood there for some time....figuring out what to order and finally decided...told the staff....mana tau the staffs said "Sorry no open. Not ready yet". Really a "GRRRRRR!!!" moment there lor...what lah....stood there so long looking at the menu, the staff saw us, cannot tell us ka? Have to wait we open mouth to order baru wanna say they are not open yet!

 

 Walked to the other food court...most stalls also not open yet but the man from the Lai Mien Stall say us and with a very happy face call out "Yau Cher La Mien Ma?"(Wanna eat La Mein?)

Actually he was still preparing the noodle but the cheerful face really glitched the deal. Quite a few others waited for him to pull the noodles.

 While waiting, Mamarazzi noticed that this stall seems to be famous leh. Got quite a few newspaper clippings featuring this stall pasted there.

And elderly couple also stopped by to chat with the man. From their Q & A, Mamarazzi got to know that they are Chinese Muslim from China. The man have many years preparing La Mien in China. Come to Malaysia to seek his fortune.

The La Mien in China is not the same taste as in Malaysia coz of the water. In China they use water from something something river/well(sorry ah ...Mamarazzi's Mandarin half pail only)...In Malaysia they cannot get that water.

 Here is our bowl of tomato and egg La Mien. May not look much but....

There...loads of La Mien hidden under the soup. Very big bowl. Mamarazzi and me ate also cannot finish that bowl of noodle.

Taste. Mamarazzi likes it pretty much. For me.....it would be great if it's not spicy. Didn't know that it's spicy coz thought Tomato and eggs must be clear soup mah. Hmmm....must remember to ask before ordering next time.

Old School at JayaOne, PJ

I love Sun Day Out organised by The School in Jaya One. Can play with my scooter with other kids and each weekend they will have various activities  (some free some paid) arrange for kids. 

But what do Papa and Mamarazzi do while am scooting around? They went exploring lo.....Recently there is one new makan shop opened in Ground Floor at The School. Name....OLD SCHOOL. Funny kinda name right. 

Guess, what...their Menu also very "school-ish" leh. Made of  exercise book. 

Okay...how many of you out there still remembers "Autograph Books" during your Primary and Secondary school year?

Does this brings back memories? Mamarazzi said these "Autograph Books" was very "in" during her school years. It was so much that her secondary school banned students from bringing and/or writing these. Anyone found with this would be punish and the book confiscated.

The Menu. Price not bad la. Around "belasan RM".

Following the old school tradition....the layout of the place is like a school canteen. A portion of the restaurant have tables with long benches and another portion consist of classroom style.

You still remember during old time, school canteen not only sells junk food but also have toys? Well, they have it here.

Wanna play Rubik cube? Long time ago this was very popular. Mamarazzi can never solve the Rubik cube puzzle.

Motor bike toys for RM1. 

 

Okay boys... tell me if you haven;t played these toy soldiers before...Got Parachute...throw up into the air and see it floating down.

 And girls....still remember these? Party with the handsome prince..Paper dolls. Some creative girls in Mamarazzi's school even drawn dresses for their paper dolls.

Some cheap munchies...also sow they have Ding Dong and etc. 

UNO is famous till today lah...but....

Do you still remember Snap, Old Maid and Happy family?

 

Papa taught me to play snap while waiting for the food. Not a long wait. Didn't get to finish the game when the food arrived.

 

There is a book corner too for those who wish to read while waiting for their food. 

Why you not wearing your school uniform? Maaf Cikgu....hujan..baju tak kering (sorry teacher, rained. Uniform not dry) ...

The food.....Papa had their Nasi Lemak. Portion may look little but it's mainly due to the huge plate

 

 ahem ahem.....what is that at the top....crunchy lard.

The nasi lemak comes with the chicken rendang....Papa love the taste of the chicken. Surprisingly they were not stingy with the Chicken!

Mamarazzi had their Rice in mixed pork soup. Terkejut her. So much on a bowl. Cannot finish leh. She "insisted" that I share with her.

Papa been reading a lot of review about burger here and there. Seems like every corner of the street have a burger restaurant.

Saw they have it here too. Pakai hentam ordered one burger la to share with me. Err...forgotten the name of the burger or the price.

 

 But the burger certainly loaded with goodies leh....bacon ...ham....and what's that ah.....forgot liao. LOL..The vege in it was fresh and not droopy. Nice to eat.

Mamarazzi had their Ice Lemon tea. Not bad. They did not put a lot of sugar into it which is good .

In the end...Mamarazzi was like a small kid gone back to school. Bought these.

Okay...before you say "waste money"......the money not wasted leh... coz the restaurant will DONATE OUT the money collected from the sales of these toys and cards to Charity like orphanage. If you don't want to buy the toys but still feel like donating, they have donation box at the restaurant.

.

Can;t wait for play with my new toy soldier.

G.I Joe to the rescue!!!!! Errr...actually Mamarazzi was holding the top of the parachute in order to snap this photo ....phone camera not fast enough to snap.

So who wanna go back to OLD SCHOOL? Then heads over to Ground Floor at The School, Jaya One. Next to the Customer Service Counter.
