The Last Polka

I was checking out KLUE online (click here for the article) when i saw the pretty pink, funky logo on one article. And so i clicked and...found the happiest thing ever!

If you love ice-cream as much as i do especially homemade ones, then do check out The Last Polka!

Made with 100% natural ingredients, May Yee & Ee Vee, created 6 different flavours of heavenly soft served desserts! With a mix of French & Asian styles, the duo presented these loveable flavours to us; Green Tea, Mango, Horlicks, White Coffee, Black Sesame & Malt & Peanut Butter. Sounds yummy-licious already? hehehe...

Can you guess already what's my favourite flavour? hehee..Yup, as you can see out of the 6 party packs, i picked Green Tea first! It was really good...seriously good that i took my time eating it bit by bit. Hahaha..it was really soft & the sweetness was just nice. I've even tried the White Coffee & Malt & Peanut Butter, oh my, i was lost for words while watching tv! hehehe.. Good ol' homemade ice-creams !

You can order them either in a 500ml tub (RM23) or opt for a 800ml tub (RM35). Since i was interested in trying all of the flavours, so i chose to order the party packs offered by them. You can go for the 6 cups, 12 cups or 24 cups in different flavours. How cool is that?!!! =D

So boys & girls, do order & try them! I am recommending you all to have a taste of the homemade ones, especially The Last Polka ones!!!

Orders can be made at their website @ The Last Polka

Luv luv!!!

Weekend back in Sitiawan

View from Restoran Kampung Nelayan in Lumut, Perak

It's been nearly a year since the last time i went back to my hometown in Sitiawan, Perak. Maybe the fact that I had to return was because of my brother's wedding preparations & i'm really glad i did. It made me realised I really miss being back home. I was calmed & very very happy. As usual, whenever i'm back, makan time with family will always be first in my list, then followed by meeting up my dear ol' schoolmates & more. The best part would be the late night chats with my family, which i really love having!!

But this time, the trip back home seemed to pass by so fast since many things had to be done for the big day; wedding costumes, homestay hunting, food tasting, wedding cards, guest list, mas kahwin, hantaran, emcee, music, yada yada...Imagine the stress i had listening to the stuffs we need to help out & before we knew it, almost 80% of the important things had been sorted out & that relieved US ALL! hehehe...Nevertheless, i had fun running the errands around town.

Now, that only leaves me to handle the 7 trays of hantaran to be prepared by July! Hmmmm...

Luv Luv!!

Surprise mushrooms?

One fine day while i was lazing & stretching myself on the sofa, mama called out to me excitedly to the balcony. I practically leaped off the sofa & quickly ran outside...just to see 3 cutest wild grown mushrooms in one of the little pots!!

You see, mama loves gardening & thus the balcony is filled with all sorts of err...plants. So, with that yellowish, perfect grown mushrooms growing on our very own balcony, somehow made us both excited. Hahaha...Unfortunately, they can't be eaten. Lucky thing...SO CUTE! Just like the ones shown in cartoon shows. =P

Luv Luv!!!

Restoran Sambal Hijau, Kg. Sg. Penchala

One of the best kampung style dishes i find very interesting & seriously good would definitely be Restoran Sambal Hijau. Located just beside a local mosque at Kampung Sg. Penchala, this restaurant is famous for its delicious sambal hijau among others.

It's so tasty & nice that I can actually eat it with just a plate of white rice. Just that. Nothing else. It's that good! hehe...

You can expect a variety of traditional, home cooked dishes such as ikan/ayam/daging masak cili padi, asam pedas, kicap, sup, sambal belacan, ulam-ulam and more. The highlight of this eatery would be the grilling corner...Ikan Bakar!!!

3 thumbs up?
DEFINITELY!

Hawker manner...

This time...let's check out the hawker food, shall we? ;)

AH HONG, SS2, PJ

The introduction to Ah Hong, situated in SS2, PJ, came about when i was texting a friend, Arif from TTDI, who randomly asked me..."Hey, have you been to Ah Hong in SS2?"...That immediately triggered my head like "Nope, is it a restaurant? A dessert place?"...He mentioned it's a restaurant serving seafood dishes among others & that made me excited!

And so we set the date & time & that day came today!!! That's when i met Arif's other half, Melissa, who joined us for dinner.

Upon arrival, when i saw the zink roof tops & open air space, that quietly made me thought of lala..lala..lala..lala..YUM! haha...

I noticed the area has a mix of Malay & Chinese stalls, which is situated just by the roadside with fluorescent lights hanging on the stall banners. Menus can also be seen offering each stall's signature dishes.

Ah Hong's stall is located at the corner & their specialty is seafood.
Here's our order...


Lala Kam Heong Style

Udang Lipan with rice & egg

Fried yee mee?? i think... =P

Since i had an early dinner at home, so the 'ratah' lala session worked for me. hehe...seafood supper? It was simply spicy-licious & that taste of the udang lipan was also yummy! Mantis prawns Mel said?? Well, in chinese they call it 'Har Ko'? =P

The night went on with our chat sessionS, mainly talking about food!! haha...i guess i found a couple of foodie partners already...means, new places to eat..YEAY! Now, that makes me excited thinking of the next food excursion with Arif & Mel...and maybe other new friends?? Maybe yea??...

"Arif & Mel...Thanks for giving me the ride & taking me out for supper. We'll try that nasi lemak *ehem one day when you guys are free ok! Let me know when & this time, i'll take you guys for a ride...see ya soon!!!"

Basil Thai Nudle Bar, Bangsar Village

I had a really nice weekend when Maksu came down from JB for a visit. Automatically, my other aunty also joined us, who came all the way from Subang & sleptover at our place. Last week, the 3 Johorian sisters, which also included mama, ruled Damansara & KL. heheeh...superlove!!!

I had fun spending time & bringing them around KL for short tours & of course dining in around town. So, one of the places mama & i brought them was to Basil Thai Nudle Bar at Bangsar Village. We all love spicy food especially the steamed fish! That's our fave dish & also the green curry chicken.

The food were all simply nice & tasty. Orders were made fast & staff were always smiling. We sat by the side of the glass windows. We dined comfortably with a wide view of Bangsar Baru, where expats & locals walking around the street leisurely with families & friends.

It's average on the wallet & if you really like Thai food or anything spicy then i would recommend you to try the steamed fish. This round, we didn't order the tomyam because i like the clear soup kind better than the coconut-ish tomyam soup. So, we passed that one since i've found my fave soupy + fish dish!!! =D

Luv Luv!!!

Bumbu Desa, The Curve

I waited for the day to try the Indo food from Bumbu Desa at The Curve & i was happy when it was already opened! Took my parents over, thinking of giving them a treat since my pay was in. ;P

The restaurant is designed as a fine dining sort with traditional & modern mix of decors & ambience.

I like the ambience music put on by the management. Soothing Balinese song, calming to the mind & welcomed us with an extra warmth hospitality.

Even with a different name, the concept is quite similar to Sari Ratu Restaurant. With a spread of dishes on the counter like a buffet style, patrons need to make their own choices & food will be sent to their tables.

The only difference is, Bumbu Desa has an extra feel on the ambience & food prices are slightly expensive.

However, the food wasn't as good as our eyes feasted on the ambience. I rather go for Ayam Penyet anytime! hehehe..
