Plan B, Paradigm Mall

At Plan B, you think BIG!!! 

 Duck and Orange Salad (20MYR) was refreshing, light, and absolutely delicious. It had watercress, orange pieces, onions, pumpkin seeds and maple syrup dressing. The salad isn't your average crispy, lettuce salad, the water cress isn't crispy but the whole salad and the duck blends well creating a tangy, meaty, bitter flavours that explodes in your mouth!

 Eggs Royale (17MYR) with a slice of smoked salmon on an English muffin, topped with a poached egg and drizzled with Hollandaise sauce. I loved this dish very much because I recently acquired the taste for salmon (raw!) and I never knew a simple everyday english muffin (We have this at home because this is the only "bread" my brother eats!) and eggs could taste so good. I tried making this at home, bought the chilled smoked salmon slices, poached the egg and even made the Hollandaise sauce (which was basically egg yolks based!) and it was delicious too! So, I find this way over priced. 

A packet of chilled smoked salmon 4-5 slices (12MYR) Pack of 3 English muffins (4MYR) and eggs (2-3MYR) 

Chicken Percik (25MYR) was extremely filling and satisfying. Delicious spicy chicken marinated with herbs served with local herbs, budu, solak lada, nasi ulam and keropok. It's a real, typical Malaysian/Kelantanese food and I could say that they made it as authentic as it can get. I think this can feed 3 people and its really good. 

Since madrekins was on leave and she wanted to check H&M at Paradigm Mall out (yes, it was HER, not me!) so, we decided to try Plan B since we've tried Journal by Plan B (Publika) and Puran B (ISETAN,1 Utama) which was relatively good and will be addressed (waaaay!) later on my blog. So, stay tuned. 

Anyways, Plan B performed above average but I hated the queue to be taken to your seats. Honestly, I don't believe in queuing up for food, it's so 3rd world country and since we don't have 1.3Billion population like China, I don't see why we have to queue. Yea, the other place that I had to queue at EVERY eating establishment was in Shanghai, China. 

Most of the time, it's just over rated and Malaysians really like queueing. But I thought, it was a working weekday so, there wouldn't be a queue and even if there is, I doubt it'll be bad. When we arrived, the queue was thankfully short. About 5 minutes.  Hence, we decided to eat here. 


I would recommend this place for Western/Asian/Fusion food so, do give it a try! For more information, you could check them out ONLINE!!!

Dip N Dip, Telawi, Bangsar

Since we already had dinner at Bangsar Village and random people were checking into Dip N Dip at Telawi, we thought we might as well try it out since we love chocolates.

We ordered this cookie crepe where a layer of cookie base is covered with a crepe and "drizzled" with white chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate. I knees go weak at the mere mention of chocolate!!! This shop, sells everything chocolate!

As a child, I loved mixing everything with chocolate, I mix Nutella with rice, cereals, fruits and yogurt. I'm a sucker for chocolate and that explains my weight! I consumed too much chocolates. What I loved about this franchise from Syria is that, you could have chocolate fountains ala Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Chocolate Pizza. 

You can have your milk, white or dark chocolate with fruits, wafles, crepes, cookies, pizzas, drinks, and even with a cinnamon pouch!!! The possibilities are endless.

Anyhow, I was really put off by the service. You see, it's a relatively small place with around 10 tables and the waiters were "huru hara" trying to accommodate the customers. When we finally got a table, the waiter accidentally spilled a whole hot choclate on the floor and some even splashed on my clothes but he didn't even apologize not did he clean the mess up.

All he did was cleared the broken glasses and left the mess there and we had to sit on the "clean" side of the table and one side was dirty. The mess was still there when we paid for the bill. We were just too tired to argue and make a fuss. 

We wanted to enjoy our dessert and go home. Another thing is, the service is so slow! We're not talking about a huge ass shop with 50 over tables, its just 10 tables and they can't even handle it with 5 staffs working that day. 

I guess, I'll only come back when I want death by chocolate. If not, Theobroma Chocolate Lounge will suffice for now... It's such a sad thing when you have such a great place, great menu but bad customer service. Such a waste.

Alexis Bistro @ The Gardens, Mid Valley

To be healthy, we ordered the Arugula Salad with Duck Confit (26MYR) was delicious even though the portion was a tad too small. It's actually duck meat fried to crisp on to of a bed of roasted pear and arugula. There's a perfect balance of sweet and savoury, making this a lovely, well balanced dish! 

For starters, we ordered the Chinese Man Tou (20MYR) which was out of the world! These were so damn good that we ordered 2 plates (6 pieces)! Its just simply crisp duck and scallions stuffed into a man tou but heck, it was good! The duck gave a savoury taste to the slightly sweet man tou buns. Would definitely go back for these yummy ducky! 

As a main course, we ordered the Roasted Tarragon Chicken (38MYR) which was a bit of a disappointment for us even though the portion was generous, the taste was mediocre it does no justice to the hefty 38MYR pricetag!!!! 

Madrekins who is an ardent fan of nuts absolutely loved this Tiramisu (15 MYR) cake which was a nutty explosion in every bite! It's a must have for every nutty person! 

I think Alexis is just over rated and I succumbed to peer pressure to try this place out. The price of the food is expensive and the food is overall mediocre. It's like, Tamarind Springs. 

But, of course, the food here is waaay better than Tamarind Springs! My judgement of mediocre food means that the food is edible and no complains but not worth the price of the food. 

For example, the Tarragon Chicken costs about 38MYR, which is a total rip off because Rosemary Bites (Aman Suria) serves up better herbed chicken. Oh, and I didn't taste any tarragon at all, the chicken tastes like any edible roast chicken like Kenny Rogers. 

Sorry to say but I'm being honest. The best of the dishes that we tried was the simple Chinese Man Tou and Tiramisu.

Banana Chocolate by Secret Recipe!

Today's little sweet treat is a slice of my favourite Banana Chocolate cake from Secret Recipe!!! OK, I'm going to repeat myself, I'm currently doing my 15,000 words dissertation and every other day, I "reward" myself with sweet treats to make writing easier! 


I know it's crazy, but it helps! Anyways, some people like peanut butter and jelly, but I love banana's and chocolate. I will do a post just on all the delicious chocolate banana treats out there!!! I don't think one could go without the other.


I ALWAYS eat my bananas with Nutella or chocolate ice cream or any form of chocolates. This cake is heavenly!!! Besides the chocolate banana crepes and chocolate banana parfait! 


This slice of cake is begins with the bottom layer of moist chocolate sponge, then, creamy, fluffy and light chocolate layer is covered with a generous amount of bananas and topped with another layer of sponge and at the top and side of the cake, it's covered with this mel-in-your mouth dark chocolate sauce that holds everything together.... 


The BF said that it's not nice, "Too many bananas and it's weird to eat bananas with chocolate" but, he loves me cause of my quirky ways so, he leaves the whole slice for me!!! I'm very possessive, strict no-sharing rule when it comes to dessert. 


Anyways, I'm progressing with my dissertation and my weight. Till my next Choco Banana post!!!

Cupcakes by Wondermilk!

I shouldn't be blogging, I should be writing my dissertation. While one is entrusted with such important chore, one needs little treats and my little treats today is from Wondermilk. I fell in love with Wondermilk since my sister got it for me on my surprise 21st birthday!!

My love affair began as soon as I bite into those cute lil things and I love cloudy frostings!!! Well, What I loved about Wondermilk is the flavors!!! Lots and lots of flavors and I developed a taste for buttercream frosting and the frosting is so smooth, velvety, sweet and decadent and it goes well with the buttery little cupcake underneath!


One of my favourite flavors would be Rocky Road and Oreo and the classic you-can't-go-wrong Butter Cream. Unfortunately, my brother who loves all things sweet thinks the cupcakes are a tad too sweet for his liking. 


Me? I just these as little treats to reward myself as I write chapter after chapter of my dissertation! A maxi cupcake is about 4.50MYR and a box of 4 maxi cupcakes is 17MYR. 


You can find out more about Wondermilk, HERE!!

Oh, you wanna know why the pictures are so lovely right now? Well, it's all thanks to my professional photographer; Karin!!! She's not a girl with an expensive camera, she knows how to use and maximize those expensive cameras! Trust me when I say that she takes lovely pictures...

Colourful Food: Rainbow Cake & Tropical Paradise

This pretty little slice of heaven is from Bijoux, 1 Utama and I can tell you that i love Rainbow cakes because it's just too colorful and it makes me so darn happy with all their pretty, pretty colors!!! Too bad that it's just a simple, buttercream cake with lots of colouring. I bought this last slice for photography purposes. Pretty, no? 

This absolutely pretty drink is from Asia Cafe where the bottom layer is Dragon Fruit, The middle layer is Mango and the top is Longan. Word of caution: DO NOT mix the colours when drinking... It ruins the taste. You drink it layer by layer. Cool, no? Not sure if other Asia Cafe has this but I had this at Asia Cafe, Puchong.

I love Cupcakes and the cupcake I like is from Wondermilk and I like colorful food this week and there's something about the butter cream that is so addictive.

Korean Food!

I had these little poppers of joys at Everland called Mini Melts. One thing I don't like about it? It melts too fast!!! But either than that, it's very sweet and a "healthier" alternative to ice cream! 

 This was my first dish in Korea. I love 닭갈비 Dakgalbi because it has everything you need in a plate!!! I love the chicken, spicy pepper sauce, and lots of vegetables!!! 

Fried chicken is done differently in Korea. They don't sell part of the chicken, they cook up a whole chicken, family style and damn, it's delicious!!!

Favourite street food has got to be wieners!!! I loved this wieners in Myeong Dong where it comes with an assortment of wieners.

You can have wieners wrapped around rice cakes, chicken wieners, and all sorts of different types.

This is 비빔밥  Bibimbap and it's made using the finest and freshest ingredients in Korea and I made this!

 Dakgalbi has many different versions. This one is the non spicy version with mushrooms, sauce and onions!

This is the extra spicy version with lots of spicy pepper paste, onions and mushroom... Extremely spicy!!

This is typical army food in Korea. All the food groups on a plate!! Soup, meat, veggies and how can you forget Kimchi???

 This is another of my favourite. This is 칼국수 Kalguksu which is knife cut noodles served with mandu (Korean Dumplings)

Tiramisu cake is different in Korea and it has a kick with all the liqueur and I've never tasted such a delicious Tiramisu ever!!!

This is chocolate tea. It's not heavy like normally chocolate is concerned but rather light, similiar to tea but packed with chocolate flavour!!!

This is 삼겹살  Samgyeopsal which means to BBQ meat and I love these kind of dishes. I'm a fire hazard so, I have to stay away but it's delicious with onions!!! Lots and lots of onions!!!  


For those who didn't know, I was in Korea for about a month and with that amount of time, I managed to eat everything good and delicious that Korea has to offer. 


Food was absolutely delicious and after pigging out, I didn't put on any weight due to the "healthiness" of the food and lots of brisk walking!! 


If you're ever in Korea, you have to try these recommendations. In fact, I know many delicious "joints" in Daejeon City and I still miss the food there. 


Too bad, you can't get decent Korean food here anymore, besides all the Korean BBQ which is so passe!!
