Gelatin Free Goody Good Stuff

I feel like I've had a deprived childhood because I never could eat, gummy candies because of the gelatin content. I don't consume red meat and gelatin is derived from animal's skin and bones. Most commonly used animal's are beef and pork.

Sad to say that, I've always has a steady supply of gummy bears and worms from AU and UK but most (almost all!) contained gelatin. Anyways, imagine my surprise when I saw a packet of Goody Good Stuff at Vitacare at Sunway Giza.

This gummy bears, are the tastiest (I can't say, because I haven't tried any gummy candies) but I can assure you that it's super duper delicious! I finished a whole bag in 1 day!! One gummy bear, you can tell that it's healthy goodness treat!!

The price isn't that expensive at only 6.50 MYR per pack and it's gelatin free, dairy free, fat free and contains no artificial coloring. The best part? It's all natural.

I tend to use and consume natural products in my life so, this candy fits into my life ever so easily!! It comes in 8 flavours so, you can choose all you want.

Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

Went to Levain for dinner with Madrekins yesterday before my Terrorism class at Chulan Tower at 6:30PM... I rarely get to eat out when I have classes because The Parentals will rush from the office, send me to school and they'll have dinner together while I'm in class. So, I normally prepare quick meals except for today.

Today, is different because Madrekins is on leave to help me with my Passport. Anyways, we've always gone to Levain for good pastries, cakes and macarons but today, we decided to try their dinner menu. We had the Olio Aglio Seafood Pasta and the Creamy Seafood Pasta. The Olio Pasta is very delicious! It tastes like stir fried pasta with lots of seafood. I guess I still like the Creamy Seafood Pasta at Dave's than Levain.

I guess their forte is their pastries, bakery and not dinner. Menu mainly is all pasta and pizza dishes and Japanese curry. Would prefer something light like fish and Chips or chicken dishes... The pasta is not very filling and class ends at 9.30PM, I'm starving by the time I arrive home.

I had a slice of Noisette for dessert and it was good! I think fine desserts are tastefully done when used Dark Chocolate. The cake has a layer of Hazelnut Dacquoise , Dark 62% Mousse, Chocolate Flourless Cake and Pralinosa Mousse. Dark chocolate has a less sugar content and higher cacao content making it almost bitter like. i think it's an acquired taste.

Anyways, desserts here are delicious and I also like the macarons here. Do try it out, the place is perfect for tea time or breakfast.
Do check Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie out. They have a very nice website.

Epicurean: Macarons and Chiaroscuro

The box of deliciousness!!! 6 yummy assorted macarons in a box!!! My fav all time flavor has to be pistachio and chocolate and rose!!! It was delectable!! I DO NOT OWN THIS PICTURE, THIS PICTURE BELONGS TO GROUPON MALAYSIA. (I finished the box of macarons before I even made it home for some picture taking!) Sorry, I'm a glut!

I DO NOT OWN THIS PICTURE. THIS PICTURE BELONGS TO EPICUREAN CUISINE AND PATISSERIE/CHEF DAVID LEE. This is the absolutely gorgeous looking Chiaroscuro (Whole) and when I saw the picture, I really wanted to try it.

Chef David was nice enough to make one for me and the best part? Deliver it together with my 1 box of Macarons!!! Normally, he takes 3 days to make a cake so, if you're interested, do book early!

Presentation did not disappoint even with a tiny slice! I was actually expecting a slice (like normal bakery!) but I did not expect to be blown away by a cute, little, teeny cake so perfect, i could protect it with my life!!! Even my mom was impressed!

I never believed in eating cakes straight from the box, I'm quite the cake snob! If you know how much I love cakes, you should know I absolutely believe in slicing it, laying it down on fine China and enjoying it from the plate like civil people do!

this is the tiny version of the Chiaroscuro. I cannot tell you how delicious the cake is. I'm a sucker for 2 things; Cake and Chocolates. This cake is creamy, rather mousse like and you can tell that he used the finest chocolate because normal chocolates do not taste like chocolates. The cake is not sweet like most cakes from the bakeries, rather it has a tinge of creaminess with even my mom loves. I think it has to be the Panna Cotta.

Chiaroscuro: Chocolate sponge, dark chocolate mousse, and vanilla panna cotta. If you're expecting normal cakes, you won't find it here... You find a whole different type of cakes that you've never heard of and it's only for the adventurous and dessert appreciation society!

I know it's sinful but I cannot resist, I find myself thinking about the cake when I'm watching TV, sneaking little tiny slices of the cake and using the cake as a reward for finishing my assignments (Which I'm currently knee deep in! But that's a different story!) and I absolutely melt for the cake.

For you who are reading my blog right now, do go to Epicurean Facebook, LIKE THE PAGE and go through the Photo Album and browse till your mouth water at the delicious desserts and contact Chef david to place an order.

Simple as that. He's a really nice and friendly guy, trust me. he won't bite.

Till then,

Sushi Making!

The finished product!! We used sliced mangoes, crab filament and seaweed!





Decided to make sushi because I picked up a "thingy" to make sushi for only RM5!!! (In Daiso, everything is RM5!) Decided to play with it so, we boiled some Japanese rice, sliced some mangoes, filament sticks and Japanese cucumbers and make sushi!!

We're still noobs, so it's better to play it safe and not attempt complicated stuff like Soft Shell Crab rolls, Dragon rolls and etc... It would be so cool if I could make such sushi!!! But, will try when I'm home alone... till then, here are some of my favourite sushi!!

My all time favourite Dragon Roll!! Tempura prawns in a huge roll with Japanese mayo!! Deliciousness on a different level at Sushi Zanmai, 1 Utama.

All sorts of Temaki Handrolls!! Your choice of seaweed or tortilla!! With Spicy Ebi Tempura or Soft Shell Crabs from Pasta Zanmai, 1 Utama.

Deep fried crispy Salmon skin Sushi!! Too bad they don't serve this anymore!! It was delicious at Sushi Zanmai, 1 Utama.
