Sloppy Chic

Ramadhan is a great season to enjoy all the local delicacies at a single place. From ayam perchik, ikan bakar, rendang to kuih-muih, it is not hard to over eat.

So, you must eat in moderation!

Worry about your cholesterol level? Now, you can feast healthily with O’Briens sandwiches.

I love the O’Briens outlet in The Curve.

In conjunction with Ramadhan, they have introduced the Ramadhan set – Rendang Wrappo.

@RM16.90, you will get a freshly prepared Rendang Wrappo, a fresh watermelon juice/hot drinks, and a small giftbox that contains kumar and a cadbury choclate.

Can’t see the wrappo close enough?

Yummy chicken rendang wrappo served with chips as side, with secret herbs and fresh diced tomato, you can taste the juiciness of the chicken, east meets west kind of combination.

Another wrappo – Hot Honey Chilli Chicken Wrappo

Another favorite wrappo of mine is this. It tasted both sweet and a little spicy, it is very tangy and it  has the effect of boosting your appetite!

Tuna Swiss Melt @ RM14.10 is another healthy choice toasted with wholemeal bread.

At O’briens, you have a choice of wholemeal or white bread.

Fancy some challenges?

Try this O’Briens Chicken Tripledecker @ RM17.80.

It is a huge tower with 3 pieces of bread with chicken, chicken crisp, cheddar cheese sandwiched in between the bread.

Chicken Slice & Cheddar Cheese on Shambo @ RM15.50.

Paired with fresh tomato and honey mustard mayonnaise, it tasted really good. While it may look small, but it is VERY filling! I love the focaccia (the bread). Seasoned with olive oil and herbs, it is REALLY different from your bread next door.

Some days ago when I was shopping in Village grocer, there was something that caught my attention – Hot Can! As I had never seen it before, so I decided to part with my RM8++ to give it a shot.

Expensive, but <RM10 to fulfill my curiosity, why not?

Gets hot anytime, anywhere. Catchy tagline.

The side of the can contains instructions on how to use it. Sounds seriously fatal! And did you see the black label of indication?  Originally they are black.

The bottom of the can has a warning sticker too.

The instruction: Push down 1.5cm on the sticker then gently shake the can.

You have to press REALLY hard to push it in.

Now, you see the labels have changed color? It is perfect to be opened!

WARNING!

Seeing at it is almost 4pm now, let me show you my cravings right now!

Though Food Foundry has a decent selection of main courses, but you must NOT miss the the Mille Crêpe Cakes there.

Vanilla Mille Crêpe Cake (RM9)

My favorite has to be the Vanilla Mille Crêpe Cake. A small slice of cake carries tonnes of sweat in the process of making. Imagine arranging thousand layers of crepe just to bake this? If that’s not enough, in between the sheets of crepes, there are flavors spread on the crepes.

And when you bite into it, thousand layers of hardwork melts in your mouth. Ahh bliss! And sipping with a hot latte, I think my life is complete now.

Chocolate Mille  Crêpe Cake (RM9)

Strawberry Mille  Crêpe Cake (RM9)

As much as love strawberry the fruits, my favorite is still the original vanilla! Call me old fashioned, but yes I love vanilla!

Almond Tiramisu (RM11)

Almond Tiramisu is another hit for me, topped with crunchy almond, you can taste the cheese and the crisp of nuts in a single bite.

Sometimes when people ask me where they should go for romantic dining that does not break the bank, novelty dining such as this Garden Lifestyle Store and Cafe will come to my mind.

Yes, Garden Lifestyle Store and Cafe has been opened in The Curve for quite some time. You can never miss this store because the deco is too pretty to be missed.

It is a great place for couples too because it is so romantic, you pay for the food, the environment and the music are complimentary.

Penley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Phoenix 2007

What about a glass of wine for your date? Great idea isn’t it?

Don’t worry if you or your date are not good with alcohol, flower tea will do the romantic trick for you.

Look at how pretty the tea pot is! It makes me feel rich by just holding it.

Watermelon Blast @RM 10.90, Longan Blast @RM 10.90, Garden’s Signature Soda – Soda Green Apple @RM 11.90, Garden’s Signature Soda – Soda Lavender @RM 11.90
