RT Pastry

continuation from the previous post...

do u manage to guess what's in the box?

the 'thing' in this box is as round as the smiley face

😊

😊

😊

😊

despite the misleading pictures on the packaging - a lady in bathtub holding a rubber duckie...and some fishes at the corner and the side of the box...the product inside is not related to them at all...

coz in the box is a Europe Cheese Cake!

Priced at RM18.80, this cheese cake weighted around 400gram with the size of a personal pan pizza.

Fairly densed and quite cheesy....The taste is similar to the Secret Recipe New York cheese cake with slight sourish lemon taste.

This whole cake can cut up to 8 pieces (where the size of each piece is just nice for 1 pax to consume without feeling 'jelak').

I also bought a box of taro flavored swiss roll

The side view (below)

There is a piece of agar-agar in the middle of the roll. The texture of that agar-agar is more like 'kuih talam'.

Priced at RM13.80, the swiss roll is just so-so only with slight taro taste (almost undetected)....the texture is alright though - soft and fluffy.

Both items are neither bad nor excellent....I will still buy them again in the near future.

Mini Snowskin Mooncakes

Received this box of homebaked mini snowskin mooncakes from our new neighbour.

They have just moved in on last month and are quite friendly.

the box consists of 6 assorted mini mooncakes with different flavours and skin colours...We don't know what are the filling inside each mooncakes coz there is no label.

But mostly are red bean paste and lotus paste....

Some have mixed skin colour...so unique!

On another note, i have finally taken my 2nd dose, and got this lil' free gift - orange flavour Redoxon drink.

My 2nd jab went well with mild fever and shorter recuperating time (compared to the first one)...LOL, could it be this drink doin its magic??

To celebrate the 'completion of 2nd dose', i got myself something (see below) 😃

Are u able to guess what is this?

Foodpanda Delivery - Brew House

I have eaten in Brew House several times and quite like their grilled chicken chop.

After a few failed attempts in placing my orders via Foodpanda (back in July)...finally i was able to get thru in August....yay!

Not quite sure why the outlet nearby my house cancelled my previous orders😕

Quite impressed with the packaging, nice paper bag with the shop logo and paper box sealed with their sticker.

I ordered 2 boxes of grilled chicken chop to qualify for the RM8 off/discount.

nice huge slab of chicken chop....tender and not over-grilled

fries were hidden underneath....thick cut fries....which i like!

the set came with coleslaw and black pepper gravy which were packed in a separate container.

Upon discount, the total price for this purchase is RM25 inclusive of delivery....which is around RM12.50 per set, definitely much cheaper than ordering the same thing in their physical shop.

Foodpanda Delivery - 'Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice' Shop

This shop popped up in my Foodpanda app 'recommended list'. 

Yea, u read it right, the name of the shop is 'Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice'😏

It offers 20% discount for purchases above RM20.

I ordered half-chicken (steamed) which easily costs RM20++

They delivered the roasted chicken coz the steamed ones were sold out.

It came with chili dip, soy sauce (not in this picture) and cucumbers (as per above picture).

Chicken portion is sufficient for 3 pax. We did not order any rice coz we have cooked our rice.

This is a Chinese chicken rice shop, hence the taste & quality is similar to those you can get in a typical chicken rice stall at kopitiam.

I wanted more discounts on top of the 20% off.

To qualify for that, got to add-on one dish...hence i ordered the 'Thai style tofu'.

I applied 'JOMMAKAN' code for an additional RM8 off on total purchases above RM25.

Note: This code is no longer applicable in September.

The tofu are in bite-size cubes sprinkled with crispy fried shallots and spring onions, drizzled with sour & spicy sauce. There were some shredded cabbages underneath the tofu which gives more crunch. Tastewise not bad and it is not spicy at all.

Overall a pleasant dish.

Total bill for all the above is RM24.23 inclusive of delivery.

Upon googling, i found that their physical shop is located in OUG (nearby the Market Place OUG).

I believe the chickens are cooked/roasted in the morning, hence the chickens would probably be available until noon (or late noon) but not during the dinner.

Foodpanda Delivery - Tastylicious Dim Sum

I've been craving for dim sum for quite some time.

My last dim sum dine-in was 2 years ago...even before the 1st MCO.

When i saw this dim sum shop popped-up in Pandabox, i quickly clicked to kepoh....

Pricewise seems reasonable....hence gave it a try~~~

Ordered the following:

Fried carrot cake

quite nice, fried to perfection with juicy & crunchy beansprouts...best eaten warm (though i don't mind having it cold)

Prawn cheong fun

it came with 3 rolls of cheung fun...with fresh bouncy prawns wrapped in it. Soy sauce & chili dip are packed separately.

Yam puff

The dough layer doesn't have much yam taste (couldn't detect at all)....i guess it is just all flour... 

the inner filling is not the char siew type...more like minced chicken and is lacking sweetness (which normally comes from char siew)....Not recommended to buy.

This is also the first time i'm seeing yam puff with such fillings😐

Total costs for all the above is RM23.67 inclusive of delivery.

Now that we can dine-in, i shall have my dim sum in a shop soon~~~

PPV Axiata, Bukit Jalil

I finally got my vaccination thru walk-in at Axiata PPV, which is quite nearby my place.

Previously this PPV wasn't available for locals to walk-in. The second nearest PPV would be KLCC but seeing the long queue (as circulated in the media) got me freak out....

During then (sometime July - early August) the walk-in craze was at its peak coz it was set until 23 Aug only.

I patiently waited for the craze to subdue...or at least extend the deadline.

The good news finally came as they continue having the walk-ins after 23 Aug (until further notice) and even open up Axiata PPV.

Hence i took leave on 26 Aug to get my jab!

*i choose this date so that i could get my 2nd dose on Malaysia day😀

Reached there around 10am++....there was no queue....it was smooth sailing all the way from the registration counter to the 'briefing' up until the vaccination stations....

Completed the entire process (including 15 minutes of observation time), all before 11am.

There were plenty of empty seats in each 'pitstop' and alot of staffs/MAS voluntaries to guide us through the form filing and verification process.

This PPV is able to provide 600 doses/jabs per day, which is more than enuff for walk-ins....coz during my slot, there were only about 20-30 people who walks in....

Even the 100plus drinks 'tak laku' coz nobody takes

i got freebies after the jab...YAY!

brown sugar, basmati rice and 100plus😂

though i also miss out some freebies from shops/restaurants....

Back then in June/July there were plenty of free treats for anyone who is vaccinated...such as Peekaboo cafe (in Bukit Jalil) offering free cheesecake....unfortunately...it has already ended.

but well....i m finally halfway to 'freedom'.....

Gardenia Twiggies

Have you tried Twiggies before?

Long forgotten snack as it has been more than a decade since i last had one.

Usually i had this for my breakfast/teatime during my Uni days coz i was constantly on the go. 

It is so convenient to pack in the bag and are sold in the campus sundry shops.

While browsing Pandamart, i saw Twiggies on the catalog.

Many years ago they only have chocolate flavor, but nowadays they have peanut butter cream filling & vanilla. Hence, i give the peanut butter cream a try.

Below pic shows the peanut butter cream filling....not so much of peanut butter taste, but more towards cream (like those Gardenia cream bread)

The outer 'cake' layer is of chocolatey taste....I'd say that the combination is not a great one as the peanut butter taste is overpowered by the 'cream' and 'chocolatey' taste. The taste just does not match nor complement each other.

Anyway, for RM1.60 (for 2 packs), it is a good try to satisfy my curiosity....besides i got RM10 off from my total purchases in Pandamart...I only need to pay RM11 for 6 items (inclusive of delivery)!

now i m so hooked into Pandamart to see what other snacks that i could try!
