Hectic Week

It was a hectic rush throughout the entire week...supposedly a release scheduled today...but...

out of sudden the project manager announced that it has been rescheduled...and it only came at 6pm...

*faint

dunno to be happy or sad...coz I hav been working round-the-clock for the past few days but then @the eleventh hour such news came~~~~~

Anyway, my 'rush hour' meal tends to be junks & fast food

Have been eating burgers for 2 consecutive days over the week...

and many of these snacks that are within reach in the office pantry

thankfully the HR 'cares' for our health and supplement us with free-flow fruits!

*first-come-first-served-basis

and isotonic drinks....no redbull kinda stuffs but 100plus...

& coke zero to keep us awake (?)

 we have fridges in different block, hence sometimes I went over the other block to 'steal' some of those stuffs that I couldn't find in my block.

alrite...enuff of junks for the week...I gotta replenish myself with nutritious food over the weekend.

Happy Weekend & Deepavali to all!

Starbucks

My 'ambitious' colleague wanted to treat me free cake...so I look around but found none that I liked...

hence I stood at a corner and observe people while the rest went to buy coffee

and well, tis is the usual caffeine place that we never fail to go after meal at IOI city mall. Btw, I dun take coffee...most of the time I was accompanying them.

ok, I better get back to work...still hav tonnes of tasks waiting to b completed....

hopefully I could get thru tis week!

Akira Miyagawa's Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 and Mambo No.5

Here's something to rock ur Monday blues away....

Enjoy listening ;-)

Feasting on take-away food

Someone got a voucher to redeem at Bubbles & Bites. As no one is interested to purposely go there for dine-in, she decided to 'ta-pau' for us. Here's our dinner feast consists of roasted spring chicken, meatball bolognaise spaghetti, fried chicken wings, handmade noodles with minced beef, and more meatballs.

we can't finish them coz it was a very meaty meal...and since it is not fresh from the kitchen, the food wasn't nice....though still passable.

Baumkuchen

I dun usually buy ready-made cake, but this was for my mum b'day...(*sometime ago)

and nope, this was not the main b'day cake...she had got a huge cream-cake from sis for candle blowing...so I got something non-icing for her instead.

well...I tink the ready made baumkuchen does not worth the price...it tasted bland, like eating flour...not gonna buy this anymore.

Maulana Briyani & Banana Leaf Rice

Here are my subsequent visits to Maulana...as usual I ordered the briyani rice with 'kurma' gravy, omelette and fried bittergourds....all fried stuffs and high calories!

and the other outlet of Maulana has banana leaf rice, me and colleague decided to try....so we got ourselves the default and order a fried chicken ala carte...It wasn't cheap...can't remember the exact price but it was between RM12-17. Not gonna order this anymore despite it was fun eating on banana leaf once in a while.

Since banana leaf isn't their core, I will prefer to stick back with briyani rice on my next visit.

Lunch @ Maulana Sri Serdang

There were times when we dun feel like having Chinese/western food, hence we went for mamak food...

The briyani rice portion were crazily huge...I had my rice to go with omelette and fried cauliflower...the combination was superb!

I'll definitely go there again...

Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart

I have seen many posted about it and being hyped about baked cheese tart months ago. So, I decided to get one myself...(*well this was 2 months ago)

my verdict: Not too heavy nor light cheesy flavour...yet u can have it warm or cold (frozen). Anyway, I could get better cheese tart elsewhere...

 

Friday Entertainment - Forever

This is one of the biggest 'hit' back in the 90's....really luv her voice in her glorious days...I dun care if this is a lip-sync or real 'live' performance, but that kinda superb voice with emotion is very touching...

I wish I could be as great as her when I was younger...yea, she inspired a lot of people to believe in themselves (in numerous songs)

anyhow 'forever' is kinda deep & not easily to commit...does it ever exist?

Koryo-Won @ Starhill Gallery

this picture says it all...yes...it was Korean food on my final day of training...which was also the exam day!

we went back to the same 'dim place' as the previous 2 days and found our way (thru the darkness) to this Korean BBQ restaurant.

but we are not having BBQ...

me & colleague were not in the mood for lunch coz we were anxious about our exam later.

but still we hav to eat...Food for thought, rite?

and yours truly kills anxiousness by taking lotsa foodie & surrounding pics!

So here goes, my 'dosirak' (aka bento in Korean) consists of spicy squid, kimchis, blanched beansprout & spinach, fried anchovies with cili padi, potato salad and 'somekind-of-flourlike-that-shaped-like-sotong' (dun ask me what is that)...

it was a very filling meal...yet a memorable one...coz that kind of spiciness gave me even more 'thrill' before the exam!

Fisherman's Cove @ Starhill Gallery

We were guided to this 'seafood' restaurant for our lunch on second day. The furnitures were all wooden and kinda heavy (to even pull that chair!)

 see? is all about wooden and bamboo-like interior

 I ordered a glass of mango juice

for starter...the common mushroom cream soup...jst so-so...

the main meal, since this is a fusion...I ordered the Chinese sweet & sour fish fillet rice

desserts was ice-cream...nothing to shout about....though I enjoyed the ice-cream very much!

Bon Appetit!



Manhattan Fish Market - Promotion set meal

This was sometime back....

 went with colleague for lunch and we did not intend to dine here but somehow that flyer caught our attention....something with RM15.90 for a set meal in MFM.

With a choice of side upon ordering the main meal.

So, I ordered this chowder soup...

taste just so-so...but enuff to kill my hunger pangs

luckily the main meal did not take long to arrive...

I ordered fish & chips with fried mushrooms. Nowadays MFM getting more creative in adding sides on top of their fish & chips...

U can have it with calamari rings or some other fried stuff (can't remember what)...but I think that fried mushrooms are crunchy yet appetizing.

Bon Appetit!
