Cafe Milano @ Signature's KLCC
Cafe Milano is at the Signature's Food Court @ Suria KLCC. It serves Italian food like spaghetti and lasagna as well as a variety of waffles for dessert. I have not tried their waffles tho but they look so discriminatingly sweet and definitely tempting for a diabetic like me.
Spaghetti Bolognese with Meatballs
Spaghetti Alfredo with Meatballs
KN has tried their Spaghetti Alfredo with Meatball and loved it! Don't worry if you're a Parmesan Cheese freak like me - they're not stingy and you can help yourself to as much as you want at the cashier counter, unlike some other places I've been to, serving Italian dishes but did not have Parmesan Cheese in storage.
Iced Jelly Fruit Cocktail
If ever we dine at Signature's KLCC, I would usually order the Iced Jelly Fruit Cocktail to accompany my pasta. The stall selling this refreshing dessert is just opposite Cafe Milano.
DiVico TViX Hard Disk Player
Ever since we've got this toy we never had to buy DVDs again - movies, sitcoms, even photos and music are now downloaded and stored in this 250GB DiVico TViX Hard Disk Player thus saving space for DVD storage in our reading room - the storage capacity of the Hard Disk Player is currently limited to 250GB but definitely expandable in the future when the need arises.
The unit is small and portable enough for us to carry anywhere around or out of the house. We can now even bring our multimedia along on outings and connect the unit to a TV - and zap! we have our own in-house movies (if the hotel doesn't have any). The unit comes with a full functionality remote control.
The TViX Hard Disk Player supports most video formats including MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (AVi & VOB) and MPEG-4 (AVI, XvID). The unit also supports IFO and ISO files for full navigation DVD back up - so if you go on vacation, for example, you don't need to carry DVDs with you but copy them into the TViX. The Hard Disk Player can be used as a digital photo album with slide show with music background. It can also be used as a music library supporting MP3, Ogg and WMA formats. You can also organize a custom play list of your favourite music to have it played continuously on your TV or your sound system.
Cool eh?
Hainan Street Cafe, Ampang Park
Whenever we're out of ideas where to have dinner we would usually go somewhere near and with easy access. Since I work nearby Ampang Park, we usually decide to go to the usual Cozy Corner, KFC, Pizza Hut or McDonald's. This time we decided to go to a kopitiam we've only tried once before - Hainan Street Cafe at the East end of Ampang Park. It's a small Kopitiam serving the usual nyonya styled dishes.
What's nice about this place is that you can have dinner at their 'side-street' tables while watching cars go by or if you're lucky enough, you could laugh at those motorists stuck in the heavy traffic jam whenever SMART tunnel decides to suddenly close - like they usually abruptly do.
Nasi Lemak Kari Ayam
We of course ordered their Iced Cham - a must whenever we're at a Kopitiam and this time we both tried the Chicken Curry Nasi Lemak. It was tasty and very special especially with the Acar Timun as a side dish - a little sweet and a little funny to have this with Nasi Lemak but it was indeed a good and worthy combination.
Iced Cham
Air Mata Kucing @ Petaling Street, KL
Do you know the best Mata Kucing (Longan with brown sugar) drink in KL (or perhaps in the whole wide world)? Yup its @ Petaling Street - a stall right at the crossroads in the middle of Petaling Street. Real tasty!
They Used to Serve in Steel Bowls... Now in Paper Cups
I have been coming to this stall ever since I was in High School in the early 90s and every time I was on my way back from college in the mid 90s I would definitely drop by for at least 2 bowls of their cold Mata Kucing served in cold steel bowls...how refreshing! Unfortunately now they have replace the metal bowls with paper cups...
Makassar, Sulawesi April 2009
The earlier plan was a long visit to Europe (London - Manchester - Paris - Amsterdam) for 2009 but the plan had to be postponed due to the current economic situation. As a replacement, we took advantage of the recent Air Asia free seats offer to Makassar (Ujung Padang) in Southern Sulawesi.
Our tickets are confirmed for the trip between April 16 - April 22, 2009 to celebrate KN's birthday on April 20th. We would be taking the Skybus this time instead of asking my brother to send us to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal. There's still a long way to go till April next year but I think it's going to be a worth while waiting. We have actually started planning our itinerary! Just hope I won't get sick again this time and that there will be no earthquake anytime near or during our trip. Amin...
Masjid Raya (c) Makassarkota
Our trip this time would mean me returning to where my Bugis ancestors came from - Yup I am a rojak consisting of Bugis, Javanese, Japanese, Chinese and a little Dutch - complicated huh? That's what makes me Super..lah!
