Best Friend award goes to...?

"Please write down your name, email, and contact number down," said my class monitor in 2010, Allison Chaang.

My very first impression on this classmate of mine who was merely a month younger than me was that she had this really fierce look that might scare anyone away within a few seconds. I instantly wanted to befriend this human being because I had this weird feeling in me that we would be the best of friends. To my amazement, she has been my best friend for 5 years and counting and I cannot imagine doing life without her.

This friend of mine, or should I call her my "twin" is quite unique in a way. She's the one who I constantly compete with in class, the one who forces me to follow her to the toilet (She calls the toilet her "seashell palace", DON'T EVEN ASK ME WHY BECAUSE I AM STILL FIGURING IT OUT UP TO THIS POINT OF TIME SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME), the one who gets angry at me for the minor things, the one who was up against me for prom queen (She obviously won), the one who joined the same clubs with me, the one who almost everyone looks up to, the one whose parents I'm comfortable with, the one who named a dog that doesn't even belong to her, Toto, the one who made me cry because she was a big bully, the one who still supported me when I was super stressed, and the one who had my back no matter what.

We can barely meet because we live in different parts of the world (cliche, I know). The funny thing was that we got mad at each other at one point of time because none of us had the time to meet up. I guess the reason why we got ticked off with each other was because we missed each other's company really, really badly. So, two days ago, Allison told me she finally could drive alone all the way from Ampang to Subang because she had to settle some student council stuffs in Inti. She asked if I was free for a sleepover, and of course I agreed to her plan since I'm on break!

We met at Inti at around 8p.m. yesterday and she drove us to Burgerlab at Sunway! I was a very very bad navigator. So, to those out there who can drive, I highly recommend that you should not ask me to give directions because I suck at it haha! Just giving a heads up ;) Oh boy, how will I even be able to drive alone soon, considering I already have my license...

The A+ (Set) RM 21 and Beautiful Mess (Set) RM 26

The burgers were only alright to my liking. Maybe it's because I've had Burgerlab for quite a few times so I kind of got bored of their burgers...? Young entrepreneurs, please hurry and come up with more burger places!!

So, here I am, blogging about this after having lunch with Al, my mom, granny and brother at FIQ's Gastronomy. This place had a nice set up and the food was not bad! I have to comment on something though, the service was quite terrible. It took them a long time to serve us our food. All in all, I would give FIQ's a rating of 7 out of 10?

 They had this hipster-ish wall art right outside their place!

This tomato soup and Ice Lemon Tea/Mineral Water came with the set that cost RM 23++

 B.M.C.S RM 24

Citrus Chicken Pasta RM 23

Cheers! :)

Review on Cafes in Subang, PJ and KL

Hello there! If you're reading this, you're probably one of my most frequent readers who is actually interested in what I have to say! So, thank you for that because I really do appreciate that effort of yours in clicking this link :) (I'm done with my first semester exams so that is why I am able to blog so yay to more blogging?!)

I have a very special post for all of you today because it's going to be a post on FOOD! Yeap, that's right, my first love... Don't worry, I'm just kidding! My first love will always be God's unconditional love for me and I should always remind myself of that daily!! Jesus loves you, you and YOU!

Over the past few months, I had the privilege of visiting different cafes which were at different locations. The cafes that I am about to share with you right now are located at SS15, Damansara Uptown & Bangsar. So if you live in any of these areas, feel free to drop by at these highly recommended places!

1) Loha Cafe

I visited this cafe with Ben, Tim and Alyssa after MUFY games. We were contemplating on whether we should have Chili Pan Mee for lunch or cafe food. I then decided we should try this cafe that my friend, Catrena was telling me non-stop about! I had to try it.

 Chicken Teriyaki rice

Pasta Carbonara

Honestly, I was a little upset when they served me the pasta. I expected the pasta to be spaghetti but they gave me fusilli instead. So, please remember to inform the waiter if you want spaghetti or fettuccine or fusilli. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed our meal and it was really filling! Pricing was around RM 15.90 or so. It was DEFINITELY below RM 20! To add on, I heard that there was a small chill place where you can play video games? Now, that's a plus!

Address 

No 7 (First Floor), Jalan SS 15/7, Subang Jaya, 47500 Selangor. 

Opening hours 

Mon - Fri :	8:30 am - 8:00 pm
Sat           :	9:00 am - 8:00 pm

2) Dal.Komm Coffee

Bingsu is the ever so popular Korean shaved ice dessert. This craze on Bingsu only started when Malaysia brought in Caffe Bene if I'm not mistaken. Ever since Caffe Bene became a "hit", more and more Bingsu cafes started to appear out of nowhere!! Correct me if I'm wrong! Of the different Bingsu places I've tried in my life, I can say that Dal.Komm sells pretty yummy and presentable Bingsu's! This place had a warm ambience and it is located right opposite Taylor's College and Inti. I am so done with Caffe Bene haha. This is just my opinion though!

Apple Crumble Bingsu RM 15.90

I ordered this because it was much more cheaper compared to the other varieties. Haha, cheapskate me! It was still worth the money IMO.

Oh, just look at this beautiful mess... This is the Apple Crumble Bingsu! It comes with shaved ice topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream! Not forgetting the apple crumbs for some last finishing touches. Perfect for two to share.

Address
No 6, SS 15/8, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Opening Hours
Sunday to Thursday- 9am-12am
Friday to Saturday- 9am-2am

3) Bingsu Cafe

Speaking of Bingsu, here is another top Bingsu cafe I would recommend you to give it a try. My friends, Tracey and Hannah have been asking me to try this Bingsu place as it was claimed by them to be MUCH MORE BETTER than Dal.Komm. This place is indeed so much more better than Dal.Komm IMO, of course. I came here with my coursemates since their last paper ended on Friday! All I can say is that we were not disappointed with the Bingsu's.

 Mango Cheese Bingsu RM 16.90

Triple Berries Bingsu RM 17.90

The Mango Cheese Bingsu had shaved ice of course, topped with mango slices, cheesecakes cubes, a scoop of vanilla ice-cream drizzled in mango sauce. The Tripple Berries Bingsu, on the other hand, had shaved ice topped with blueberries, strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream drizzled in berry sauce! 

Bingsu cafe has more choices compared to Dal.Komm Coffee. This cafe has 9 choices to choose from whereas Dal.Komm has only 5 choices. I would recommend you to try Bingsu cafe if you live in the Damansara area, but if you're in the Subang area, trying Dal.Komm is already more than enough!

Address

Jalan SS 21/35, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Opening Hours

12.00 p.m. - 12.00 a.m.

4) Nutmeg

I've always wanted to see what was the craze on Nutmeg all about. So, my family and I decided to head to Bangsar after church just to try this place. Beware, the food here is a little more on the pricey side. As I always like to say, visit once and never come back if it isn't THAT fantastic.

Thick Cut Open Faced Salt Beef Sandwich RM 23

Nutmeg Big Breakfast RM 28

I ordered the Nutmeg Big Breakfast and the portion was really big! If you would like to save a penny or two, you can always share with someone. The desserts here looked really yummy, so during my next visit here, I would want to try their desserts especially the cakes!

Address

UGF-28A Bangsar Village II, 2 Jalan Telawi 1, Bangsar Baru. Kuala Lumpur

Opening Hours

Daily, 9:30am-10pm

5) A Pie Thing

Everyone should be familiar with this place, am I right? After a long day of studying at the library, I decided to try this ever so famous place with Tim and Alyssa since it was so near college. Their friends joined in as well! All I can say is that I wouldn't come back for a second try... Pies are just not my thing, doesn't matter if they're sweet or savoury. I just don't fancy them! Forgive me, pie lovers.

 Pie + Mash + Gravy RM 14.90

Smores Pie RM 10.50

As you can see, we "conquered" them. Well, technically, Alyssa did most of the "conquering" as I did not enjoy both the pies.
