Fasta Pasta @ Ikano Power Center

Entry: 22
26th of November 2006

Dear Diary,

We had dinner here in Fasta Pasta on the same day that we had lunch in One Utama's Kluang station. I came to know of this place through other food blogs. We actually came over to Ikano Power Center after watching The Prestige in Cineleisure at The Curve with my friends and darling. Both darling and I agreed that it was a good movie. Darling knew that I've been wanting to try out Fasta Pasta's pastas. Haha... So yay, he brought me here to satisfy my wild desires *grin* It was almost 9pm when we got there.

Our complimentary bread which was on the house.

My dainty cup of Italian Chocolate (RM5.90). Anything chocolatey is definately a favourite of mine! But they only gave me 2 pieces of biscuits to dip into the chocolate. We ended up finishing the chocolate with our bread instead. Hmph....


Darling ordered their Ice Lemon Tea (RM4.90)

Darling had been wanting to eat Macaroni ever since I mentioned Fasta Pasta. Hence, he ordered their Macaroni Peppino (RM17.90) which sounded very attractive on the menu by its description. However, we were a little disappointed when the plate of macaroni arrived looking a wee bit smaller than expected and not really up to what we had in mind. Darling said it would have tasted better if they were more generous on the mozzarella chese.


I had the Lagsana (RM16.90) which again, looked very nice on the menu but it also wasnt what I had expected when it arrived. However, it was still presentable and and tasted rather good. I managed to finish my food this time without darling's help as we both ordered the asian serving size. We had a choice between asian size and aussie size (which is definetely much bigger). I liked the service here though. They were quite fast in serving us and were rather friendly :)

The address:
Fasta Pasta
G02, Ikano Power Centre,

Kluang Station @ One Utama

26th November 2006

Dear Diary,

This whole week was really packed with agendas for for me and darling. Gosh, I need sleep so badly. On Wednesday, we went to One Utama to meet my friends up for 'shopping'. Haha... We first went makan-ing with Xue Yan and Wei Hang in Kluang Station which I heard was a nice place to try through other food blogs.

The shiny menu. It was the reflection of the bright lights in the restaurant that caused the blur picture. Sorry.... ^_^


I and darling shared the Pineapple drink while Xue Yan had Lime Juice and Wei Hang had Milk Tea. I kinda forgot the prices though :p


Wei Hang and I both ordered Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM9.90). It was nice. The chicken went well with the tomato baked beans and fries. I rate it at 7.5/10. However the serving portion was a little too big for me.


Both darling and Xue Yan had their Kluang Laksa (RM8.80). I tried some of darling's laksa. Not too bad. It tasted like any normal laksa you can get outside. I still prefer Mark's Assam Laksa and Penang Village's Laksa.

Too bad I didnt manage to try their famous toast. I heard that it's very very nice but I just wasnt that hungry. Another time perhaps...

The Olden Ship @ Cheras

Entry: 20
26th November 2006

Dear Diary,

Darling and I went on a hunt for his Man Utd polo tee on Tuesday. We went everywhere! Times Square, Sg. Wang Plaza, Bkt Bintang Plaza, Lot 10, KL Plaza and even The Mall near PWTC. But yet we couldnt find what he was looking for :( Don't be sad dear.... We'll have better luck next time ok? Muax!

Since darling parked his car in Bukit Jalil, we decided to go down to The Olden Ship in Cheras for dinner and drinks. It's a music cafe with unplugged bands playing there and really really cheap drinks during their happy hour time.



The jug of Tiger beer darling ordered. (RM23.90 during happy hour)

I ordered the Butter Chicken Rice (RM3.90). Freaking freaking cheap! But the sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. Hmmm..... But I couldnt expect too much either for the price I paid :p


Darling ordered the Black Pepper Fish Rice (RM8.90). This was really good. It came topped with minced meat and fries. The black pepper sauce was really appetizing.

The soup that came along with our rice. They served it in japanese miso-soup bowls. Hmm... is that suppose to be creative or just plain funny? I dont know man... :p

Darling called his bandmate over to join us for drinks. We played cards and Jenga till about 12 plus before going off to play pool. Luckily Chee Kean joined us. Otherwise I would have gotten drunk trying to finish my share of the beer. Haha.... Another time ya darling! *grin*

Cheers,

Little Taiwan @ Subang Jaya SS15

Entry: 19
26th November 2005

Dear Diary,

Exams are finally over. It ended last Monday. What a great relief off my shoulders yet I was too tired to think of celebrations. All I wanted to do was sleep and get rid of my terrible mouth ulcer. Thank goodness I've found a cure for big, ugly, pain-stabbing mouth ulcers. It's a wonderfully magical little bottle of lotion called Oral Aid (RM6.00) in which I would without a doubt highly recommend to everyone suffering from ulcers. When applied, it numbs the ulcer completely that you wont even feel it there. You can then resume your normal routines of eating, drinking, talking, and shouting. Haha... :p It also speedens up the recovery of the ulcer. Mine was totally healed in just 2 days of constant application. I still cant exactly believe that such a small little bottle costing only 6 bucks could take away a huge load of misery and pain. As of today, I bid ulcer pains adieu.

I asked darling to decide where to go for dinner. He chose Little Taiwan which is located opposite Taylor's College in Subang Jaya SS15. It was our second visit to this restaurant.


Lots and lots of drinks to choose from :)

...and not to mention food too!


Our drinks. I ordered their Peach Pearl Milk Tea (RM3.50). Absolutely lovely :) Darling had their Peach Ice-blended (RM5.90) which was very nice as well.


I've forgotten the name of this particular food darling ordered but I think it sounded something like Spicy Fish Fillet Rice with Minced Meat (RM8.90). I tried some. It was good!


I had their Sweet & Sour Pork Rice (RM7.90). I loved the way they marinated the pork. It was really tasty. Thumbs up :)

The address:
Little Taiwan
No. 24, Jalan SS15/8,
Subang Jaya.

Brother's Birthday @ Genki Sushi @ Sunway Pyramid

Entry: 18
17th November 2006

Dear Diary,

We went to Genki Sushi in Sunway Pyramid on Tuesday to celebrate my brother's 18th birthday. He's finally of legal age. Happy 18th Birthday Si!! :) Genki Sushi is currently having a 20% discount on all food during teatime (3pm to 6pm) everyday.

The cute tissue packets.

Genki Sushi's menu.

Green Tea powder.

It's DIY green tea :p

A cup of green tea made by darling for me :)


The sushis we had. All were yummilicious! :)


Birthday boy's Unagi Set (RM22.80). He seemed to enjoy his meal and especially the lychee pudding! :)


Darling and I shared the Chicken Teriyaki set (RM19.80). It was actually very good! Much better than the Chicken Teriyaki set in Sushi King as they served larger portions. I was really full at the end of the meal. Our bill came up to a total of RM104.20 (inclusive of tax and service charges minus 20%).

We'll definately be back for more *winks*

Cheers,

Extra Cheesy Pizza Take-away @ Pizza Hut Subang Jaya

17th November 2006

Dear Diary,

I came back from college yesterday telling darling that I felt like eating pizza. Me and my cravings. Haha!! Only my darling can tahan me i think... or is his patience wearing thin? Keke..

Anyway, darling said we'll go order a take-away pizza at Pizza Hut for dinner. Yay yay!! :) We ordered a large Hawaiian Chicken Pizza with stuffed crust and extra cheese toppings (RM33.50 inclusive of tax). It was heaven and very very filling!! Highly recommended for cheese lovers to have their pizza this way *winks*

What you see on the box was not what we ordered. It's just for promotional sake I think :p Haven't tried it though. Seems to be similar to Shakey's quartet pizza.



Our pizza. Hawaiian Chicken Pizza with stuffed crust and extra cheese topping. Cheesy inside out. Just the way both of us like it! Yummy....... :)

Cheers,

Ice-Cream Waffles @ A&W Seremban

Entry: 16
12th November 2006

Dear Diary,

Went out yam cha with darling awhile ago after dinner. It has been such a long time since I last ate waffles so I told darling that I wanted to go to A&W. And yay! He took me there. Hehe... :p

The waffles here aren't as elaborated and flamboyant as the ones in Waffle World as they only have 2 types of waffles that is the Ice-cream Waffle and Waffle with Butter & Honey. Somehow I still prefer A&W's waffles. It's just simple and sweet! :) I ordered their Vanilla Ice-cream Waffle with Strawberry Sauce (RM4.90). Mmmm... The waffle was freshly made n served hot. Yummilicious!! Too bad they stinged on the ice-cream portion though... :(

Oh, darling gave me a lesson on how to cut waffles into straight pieces. I'm kind of a bad cutter... Yes, it's embarrassing, I know... :p


Cheers,
