Stickhouse

Pictures credit to Stickhouse, I just wanted to show you how beautiful these ice popsicles look! They are the best looking popsicles around! 

I had the Strawberry Yogurt while Madrekins had the Lemon flavoured popsicle! Mine was very thick and yogurty while Madrekin's one was so sour, it feels as if you're biting into a ice lemon! We loved it so much!

It was then, I decided to find out more about Stickhouse, the founders have 30 years of experience in the ice cream business and they use a technology to make their popsicles really creamy, full of flavour and a persistency in taste that is accomplished without the use of aromas and artificial flavourings.

Their ice cream is all natural without the artificial flavourings and 100% all natural ingredients. For example, when you lick the lemon stick, it tastes exactly like ice cold lemon juice! 

I got my Stickhouse fix at Sunway Pyramid, one floor down from Juiceworks.

Or better yet, give them a try! 

D'Italiane Kitchen, Sunway Giza

I had a chance encounter with this place because I'm at Giza every Sunday while waiting for The Fiance to finish church. Besides Nando's, we don't really eat at restaurants here. I'll always be at Boost getting my juice and we'll have JoJo Chilli Pan Mee for lunch every Sunday. Well, one of these Sundays, I was craving for a good, old fashioned Lasagna. Chicken Lasagna to be specific. 

And since Times Bookstore, another place where I wait for him, is just next to the restaurant, we decided to go there and try. 

Previously, all pastas couldn't compare to my favourite pasta at Dave's, 1 Utama. I normally don't eat pasta except at Dave's. Unfortunately, Dave's quality has been slowly and steadily deteriorating, we decided to have the pasta here. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY! We had the Salmon Alfredo (RM29.90)  and my, it was out of this world!!! The Fiance even said that it was better than Dave's. The pasta was al dente, and the salmon was very fresh. The salmon in your plate comes in 2 varieties; Cooked and smoked so, you get the real air flown salmon on your plate! And yes, they weren't stingy with their sauce unlike Dave's, ever since the 50% lunch promo was changed to 30%... 

This was my Chicken Lasagna (RM23.90) and it comes in Beef too. OK, all I can say is that, my cravings were satisfied after this, The lasagna was moist, flavourful in every bite, and the cheese, it whole lasagna was covered with a layer of cheese and cooked to perfection! I would say that, this is the best lasagna I've ever tasted! 

I was having really bad PMS, so The Fiance decided to surprise me with this Triple Chocolate Banana with Vanilla Gelato (RM22.90) because my two favourite things are banana and chocolate. I guess, I was a bit mean to him as well. Anyways, I can't comment on this because I love bananas and chocolate and this was orgasmic... 

Overall, I give this place a 9/10 because the waiters are all friendly, refillable water is only RM0.90 and the ambience is romantic and food was utterly amazing!

Mushroom & Bacon Carbonara

Still refused to go out because "have to study" and decided to cook my comfort food really quick! Mushroom and Bacon Carbonara. Very delicious. Mother doesn't know that I can cook. No one does it like I do. mmmmm.... The lovely crisp bacon and sauteed mushroom in bacon oil!

Ingredients: (Makes 2 servings)

7 Slices of Smoked Streaky Pork Bacon
5 Medium Sized White Button Mushroom (Thinly sliced)
5 Medium Sized Swiss Brown Button Mushroom (Thinly sliced)
200g / Slightly half a packet of Spaghetti
1 Can Prego Alfredo/Carbonara Sauce

Instructions:

1) ALWAYS, ALWAYS Fry the bacon first. Then, remove and drain.
2) Add in the mushrooms and fry in the bacon oil.
3) Chop the bacon into slices and saute with the mushrooms until soft and everything is evenly coated.
4) Boil the spaghetti until cooked.
5) Heat the Alfredo/ Carbonara sauce and mix it with the spaghetti.
6) Serve with the mixture of mushroom and bacon on the top.

SERVE AND ENJOY!

*I don't like using S&P in my cooking unless absolutely necessary. The bacon has a lot of flavor especially a smoked streaky bacon and that's all you need.
