Special Bread during Tea Time

We were hitting for a lovely tea in one afternoon as my brother was noising and buzzing over my ears. Couldn’t stand him and Hence, we came over to Kedai Kopi Lou Hgau situated just on the left next to the BHP Petrol, Taman Connaught.

What a shame of me. For over 15 years I have stayed in Cheras and I have never visited this Char Shat. Brother brought me here. He said he wants something here and I eyed the small stall entitled “Special Bread” which is run by a lady. My curiosity aroused and was wondering how special they are, I hopped over and made a few orders.






We had the tuna bun which came in with lots of tuna spread, cucumbers and all packed in the toasted elongated bread. This bun was quite okay but priced at Rm 3 was bit expansive for me.

Next on, this was interesting. I have no idea what this is called as I pointed onto the menu with diagrams to order. This bread rolls came in 6 pieces where slices of white bread wrapped up ingredients and topped with of cheese before sending into the toaster.

Sausages and cucumbers with mayonnaise wrapped in toasted white bread topped with cheese.

On the left, the dried chicken floss and cucumbers with mayonnaise and chili sauce wrapped in toasted white bread topped with cheese. On the right, that’s the cucumbers with mayonnaise wrapped by the ham and then the white bread.
Personally, I like the one with chicken floss and the one with ham.

The thick toasted bread may seem unattractive but it tasted good. The thick toast was covered with butter spread, condensed milk, cheese and oats. Honestly, this has to be shared among people as you will feel jelek if eat too much.

In between Blocks, there were spreads of peanut butter and butter.

Every bread dishes are priced at Rm 3. I find it quite expansive for me at this dining environment. Besides, the stall is run by the lady alone and it took quite a long time until ours are served.

Japanese Cottony Cheese Cake

It’s my time to bake again.

The weather was cool and it rained for the whole Saturday morning. I was supposed to wake up at 7am and prepared all the ingredients for baking so I could have cakes for breakfast. Ended up, I was late for 3 hours. Still, I managed to have them as dessert after lunch!

I have been longing to bake this when I read through Precious Moments and Little Corner of Mine. The Japanese Cottony Cheese Cake looks so Yummy from 2 of the blogs. I did all alone in the beginning. Then second brother showed interest and gave me a helping hand while I was measuring the ingredients and separating the egg whites and yolks. He helped me out in mixing them. What a kind bro he is. (Ish… cannot praise him too much.)

It was cottony, neither too sweet nor heavy and simply light. Maybe you will see that the texture is quite ‘rough’ from the slices but I can tell you, NO. They were soft and very fluffy. Just melt once in your mouth. I should have the cake sliced when it was really cool but I got a bit impatient and sliced the cake while it was still warm. A little imperfection is that I used a square pan instead of round pan. So, could not get a really nice pic of the square-shaped cake. I will get myself a round pan and post up the nice round cake picture soon. *coming soon*~

Besides, I brought 1/3 of the Japanese Cottony Cheese Cake over my aunt’s house and her kids simply love this. And yes, we finished the whole cake in just one day.

Point: Japanese Cottony Cheese Cake tastes good too after chilling.

Sushi Zen @ The Gardens

Monday nite’s Text message (roughly like that):

Christine: Happy holiday, your exam over! Want hang-out? Where you want to go?

Me: Yep, papers done. Can relax. Hehe. I want hang-out but I have no idea where to go.

Christine: I’m bored. Wanna go Mid Valley tmr? Wanna try Sushi Zen! Besides, I wanna get present for my friend.

Me: Tmr??? [O.o] Okay, I am very free. I wanna try Sushi Zen too! Too long time nv hav Jap food! Can’t wait!

Christine: then I will be at ur hse at 10.30am. See you gal!

Me: See ya tmr. Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait!

There it goes. We were in Mid Valley and The Gardens the next morning. Window shopping while helping Christine for her friend’s present. When it came to lunch, we hopped over Sushi Zen すし善 as promised a night earlier. Sushi Zen with the Kiosk open area concept is located at the LG level. Honestly, I don’t like the idea of this open-area concept but that’s not the point to deny good looking Jap food *wink*






Refillable Green tea at Rm 1.50

茶碗蒸し Chawanmushi the steamed egg custard was flavourful and smooth soft silky. We couldn’t help ourselves with it and kept feeding our stomach. It was real slippery when spoonful of it went down through my esophagus. I could feel that!

.As for the main, Christine had 天寿 Tenjyu which came in assorted tempura (large prawn, eggplant… ) on rice. They were arranged neatly in the bento box. Christine gave me a prawn as she can’t take too much prawn. The prawn was still juicy after tempura-fried.

I ordered the 北海ちらし丼 Hokkai Chirashi Don which came with Hokkaido seafood (scallop slices, salmon slices, salmon roe) on sushi rice. The serving was large and at just Rm 15.90. Scallops, salmons and the roe were very fresh. I felt so bahagia in a sudden as it has been a very long time since my last Jap meal.
Am I exaggerating too much?!

Christine wanted to order more but I hold Christine from doing so because I was afraid we couldn’t finish all. And that was a right choice to do so as our mains were large. We both enjoyed this lunch a lot and gave Thumbs-up for our choices. And she bought a new canon power shot camera which is very handy and advance. *envy* like her camera with lots of function. During out lunch, we have listed out some place/restaurant to try out next. The list was kinda long. So, Christine, where and when’s next?

Simply snack

This would be a light post after all stressful days. Please forgive me if you found me not using really nice word to describe things. My brain works abnormally. Partly, it is greatly ‘damaged’ by the memorizing hard and partly, I need more rest.

While I was in Hartamas shopping centre, I found myself ‘treasure’ from Citi Super (I dun remember if spelled as City or Citi).




This Lotte Fondue is just Rm 2. (Sorry, I can’t read Korean. I guess Lotte Fondue is not the real name for this snack)

fancy the packing of Korean and Japanese products. They always have good printings, designs on the packing and that’s the way they ‘sell’ their products!



Café Latte Stick at the same price too. As compared to other supermarket, Citi Super offers some low-rate-items like Korean instant noodles, cookies.... at a great deal.

Another Lotte pineapple cream at just Rm 2.50.

Then while I was in Shojikiya, the Japanese Specialty store, I found this little cutie --- Snoopy Magnet. The staff put them on the must-go-out rack priced at Rm 2. I have them magneted on the fridge over my class schedule.

The month’s special, Organic green tea powder at… --- I forgot the price...
Anyway, I am now searching for recipe which I can use the powdered green tea.

いかピ一ナIka Peanut by Kasugai

This is what I love when I need a quick 2 minutes meal. Just pour the flakes over your white rice and mix. Fast, simple and easy.

Chelsea抹茶ミルク(matcha miruku) with カテキン (catechin) added and the right one yogurt scotch. Both are nice but I personally prefer the yogurt-flavoure candy. Priced at only Rm 2.90 which is 3ringgit cheaper than other supermarket.

Back~

Miss me yes?! Miss me not?!

I’m back but I’ve ‘transformed’ into a panda with heavy dark eyes circles. Very Thanks to my last paper which was a disaster. With just less than 4 hours sleep a day before to memorize but those I memorized was not in questions. Iks… hope to pass hope to pass. I just want a Pass for that subject.

Its holiday now but I have lots to do. Need to do cleaning, clear up the mess I’ve done in the living room, my room, reading area. No matter where I was days before exam, there were notes and paper around each corner. And of course, update my blog and read up some un-finish novel, clear the 2 weeks Star newspaper-sss (yeah, I’ve no time for newspaper) and Rest!
