Makan - Makan || Nasi Arab Damsyik, Senawang

One fine day, my big bro invited us for a dinner at one of the joint near his house.. Seremban! since it's working Monday and Mr. AZ went for Umrah, we planned that my father fetched me at the office after my sis came back from work.. they finally arrived at my office at almost 6.30 pm..

After Maghrib and freshen-up at the brother's house, we shoot-up to Senawang..it took us quite sometime because of the Wesak Holiday traffic the next day.. even taking the shortcut.. arrive there nicely as our stomach was growling like crazy.. luckily SIL called up the restaurant to reserve a table for us.. they took our order (my bro & SIL did this since they are familiar with the place).. our food came couple of minutes later.. whoooaaaahhh!! what a service..

the food menu

the drinks menu

the food & drink

they're food were ordered based on portion.. but keep in mind that they're portion are just the same as any arabian portion.. big! the meat (chicken and lamb) was so so tender.. and the rice..ohhhh! to die for.. little Adam enjoyed it very much.. even little Sara get to taste the rice.. moist and creamy rice..it was long grain rice.. the chili and yoghurt were traditionally taste with a malay adaptation.. a little bit spicy.. for drinks, they've dried-up of fresh juices so we opted for box juices and their traditional tea.. the tea was the normal Lipton tea.. but they infuse it with a little taste of mint.. my mom enjoyed the tea but she said it was not enough because of the small glass provided..

the chicken set



hot shai


the place

it was suitable for family since you can choose to sit indoors or out.. but from my view indoors were quite full.. no privacy at all.. but i don't know bout the sitting upstairs..

aftermath



the location

i don't know the exact location.. but it was the same route to Kuala Pilah from Senawang PLUS exit.. it is near to a Madrasah.. this is the address :

     No. 1, Taman Bougainvillea,

     Jalan Senawang-Paroi,

     70400 Seremban

     Tel : 014 - 265 7313/ 012 - 933 5495

the price

for 9 person eating with 3 wahid serving lamb and Khamsa chicken + lamb set.. 2 boxes of juice.. and a pot of hot shai, the bill came up to almost RM150.. so still affordable ehh??

the verdict

we agreed in the car on our way back home, it really was worth the trip!

Hari Belia Negara 2011

So.. okay I guess sumer orang dah tau pasal Hari Belia Negara 2011.. where they aimed to kumpul 1 juta belia in Putrajaya.. the idea is great but the venue is so not!! and the day of celebration.. Putrajaya is an office district.. summore when you close most of the road especially on a working day.. it was a living hell!!

Most of the staff of my office came late that morning..all because of the road closure.. we were promised that our office parking sticker or our office pass is good enough for our entrance to the office since our block situated just beside KBS (we share the same road).. but i guess that information wasn't passed down to the person incharge of the traffic on the day.. so most of our staff was stopped by traffic officers.. 

The same thing happened during lunch hour.. since it's Friday, most of the staff went home.. and they got stopped again.. even during going back was jammed!! all because of tthhere's a certain flagged-off ceremony.. but why did they have to do it during peak hours?? why can't they do it earlier?? I'm still confuse..

Hopefully.. if they were to plan this kinda big Hari Belia again next year maybe should be thinking of other places.. no more Putrajaya please..

But the activities were quite okay.. these series are picture of some of the activities.. but only until Friday evening..

this was taken on Wednesday

Singapore Chili Crab

Was craving to have the famous Singapore Chili Crab for days.. but where can I find a place that serves halal Singapore Chili Crab? I searched high and low for any place in KL or even nearby but to no avail.. Mr. AZ was really sweet one weekend that he bought fresh crabs for me to cook.. so I share here the video that guide me to cook my first ever Singapore Chili Crab..

So, here is my version of Singapore Chili Crab..

my version

The verdict.. it was acceptable for my first try.. even Mr. AZ said the same..

Guess Who's Back??

My Other Half!! Mr. AZ.. Both of me and Little Adam misses him so much! Welcome home hubby! Everyone in the group arrived safely and with good health apart from the usual cough..

 

Adam + Sara

These series are a few pictures of Little Adam and his little cousin Sara.. these are during one of the weekend that we have our breakfast together outside..

Makan - Makan || Yunnan Muslim Restaurant, Setiawangsa

Mom requested to eat at this restaurant one day went we past through the restaurant.. she said she wanted to know how Yunnan food taste..

the restaurant

So after work one day, we decided to have dinner there together minus Mr. AZ (since he's not here in Malaysia).. The ambiance was great however, a group of patrons spoiled our experience.. they were loud and were smoking non-stop.. It was a no-no for me since  LittleAdam was enjoying hanging out at the aquarium which happen to be next to their table..

Apart from that particular group, the food was acceptable.. but not to our liking.. i was used to kung pao chicken with dry chilies & cashew nuts.. and i expected that their dry chilies chicken would be the same.. not!.. i ordered potato patty but it was too oily and salty.. no again.. my mom's spicy stew noodle.. it was ok.. but i didn't like the stew because it was too spicy and a bit salty..dad's fried noodle was nice..even Little Adam enjoy it.. until he accidentally ate the chili powder.. then he just stop eating.. both the noodle was made fresh in the restaurant.. the noodle i love..

white rice

dry chili chicken

We paid around RM 42 (i think!) for the whole Yunnan experience for 5 person.. To get here just make your way to KRU's old office near LRT Setiawangsa.. the restaurant is a few lot beside the studio..

I'm into this now

I kept on listening to this 2 songs over and over again.. hooked after it was aired.. enjoy these clips!

Get It Right lyrics

What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin' under
Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight
Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I'll get through this
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send down a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care!
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

Get It Right lyrics

(Lea Michele/Rachel)

Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

(Cory Monteith/Finn)

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me

Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me

Babycakes Macarons

The idea to buy macarons from Babycakes came when i was talking to BeautifulLife during one of breaks at the office.. Coincidently, I took the train home that day.. since the outlet are somewhere near Ampang Park station..at first i thought of buying a box for me and another box for her..

But when I get there, I was lucky enough to catch the owner since the outlet closed at 6 p.m. and I was there at 6.30 p.m.. It was a rushed to think of the flavours.. there were rows and rows of flavours.. so i settle for 8 pieces for both me and BeautifulLife.. the macarons price range from RM2.20-RM2.50 depends on the flavours.. so I was saying I settle for 8 pieces..2 pieces of vanilla, 2 pieces of Chocolate, 2 pieces of caramel with salted butter & 2 pieces of rose for the total of RM 22..

The verdict.. the crust is crispy and the fillings is super yummilicious, creamy and yumm yumm super yumm! BeautifulLife even agrees with me..

To get your Babycakes Macarons you can go to
