The most special thing was this…
That’s really clever. They have this own-built-inverted type of soft drink machine. They even use the water taps to control the flow of soft drinks. Cool isn’t it?!

We-have-what-you-Want
When we were on our way to a beach, I came a across a “we-have-what-you-want” small size lorry vendor. This lorry business was run by a wed-couple. The pakcik n makcik were selling a wide variety of snack such as fruits, drinks, chips and others kacang-kacang.

Telaga Café & Restaurant @ Langkawi
I know this is an extreme delay for posting up the New Year trip (with my secondary gang), a biggie apologize to my secondary Surian gang (all 9 of them). It’s not that I don’t want to have these to be posted up but I have no extra time to compile and write on these early of the year. Coming soon, I will post up what we had, eat, fun out together during our trip. Do hope all of you all would enjoy reading my blog. ^^

Day 1 – 30 Dec 2007 (Day)
We were at the Air Asia Terminal early in the morning, waited for our flight. It has been quite some times since my last trip.
The plane flew passed Penang. Can you see the island and little cubes of building?!
We saw our destination! here we come --- Langkawi.
It took us some times to settle the transport and checked-in to hotel we booked. Food was the next thing in our mind. We had the driver, Jimmy as our leader, drove aimlessly with the aids of Langkawi map looked out for food. The streets were quiet, most of the stalls or warung were not opened for business. I guess the more activities will be on at night.
Finally, we saw a restaurant was opened. We stopped by and headed in without hesitate. It was a pleasant environment in this restaurant.
Few glasses of fruit juice, iced blended chocolate and ice blended coffee. Both iced blended were topped with whipped cream, and a scoop of chocolate ice cream and sprinkles with some rainbow sugar. Langkawi’s weather was very warm at that period. We felt refreshing after having some fruit juices or iced stuff. However, these few glasses were kinda pricey and tasted ordinary.
Chicken Fried Rice ordered by one of them. The presentation was quite nice.
White Rice with fried shallots.
Ayam Masak Kicap, the chicken cooked with soya sauce was quite a disappointing one. It was over salted. We were all starved, so not much complains from us. We just had it eaten with lots of rice.
Udang Masak Manis was the deep fried prawn cooked in sweet and sour was okay for us. But the portion was quite small.
Sotong Goreng Sambal was the squid deep fried and cooked with dried chilies. This was okay too but then again, serving was small.
Seafood Tomyam Soup (medium) priced at Rm 10 was on the salty side as well, a little sourish and not spicy enough and it was not the very authentic Thai style. We were all very hungry till we could actually eat a horse; hence we had no left over on the plates.
Overall, the food was just ordinary; portions were small and kinda pricey. Guess it is normal in this tourism island.

con't: Pick n' Brew @ 1 Utama
Test and exam always make people sick. But food never let us down. Once I come across with food, my soul is lifted, and I become lively again! ~
I am glad to have joined the food bloggers eat-out session on last Friday. It tensed me down, energetic-ed and spirited me up!
Right now, let’s continue with the food in Pick n’ Brew.
The compliment Bread (soft and fluffy)
and Olive Oil with Balsamic Vineger.
Seafood Chowder (Rm 13), the fresh creamy seafood broth
The Cream of Mushroom Soup (rm 13) which is made with cream of wild mushrooms (thick and flavourful!).
Spanish Prawn Avocado Salad (Rm 19) which served with Prawns, avocado, green olives and tomatoes tossed in Tahitian dressing. The dressing was very appetizing and I bet many ppl will love this
Jackson highly recommended his house’s Braised Lamb Shank (Rm 38). It was served with mashed potatoes and asparagus and with amount of gravy. Taste superb indeed. I was being told that the difference between the Braised Lamb Shank from GlenMarie and one U outlet is that, the one from One U is cooked and prepared with red wine while the one from GlenMarie does not.
Oven baked Oats and Almond Crusted Snapper (Rm 28) with roasted vegetable and potatoes, served with chunky basil tomato
Greenobloise Salmon Fillet (Rm 32). It came with boiled potatoes, roasted vegetables and lemon capers butter.
Penne Carbonara (Rm 18) was originally served with beef bacon in cream sauce but this had substituted with chicken bacon as the one who ordered can’t take beef.
One of the Introductory sets (only at Rm 10) Promotion until end of April!!! ~
Angel Hair Marinara (Rm 22) was served with prawns, green mussels and squid in tomato sauce and came in quite a big serving. We all had a forkful on it and it was delicious and seafood-ly-fresh in the tomato sauce.
Grilled Rib Eye of Beef (Rm 38) which was served with cream of onion and red wine sauce
Lamb Tikka (Rm 17) was quite large in serving and it came with skewered pieces of marinated lamb with flavored rice.
Blueberry Cheesecake
Apple Crumble Cheesecake (Rm 9 each)
For coffee lover, never forget to try out the variety of beverages brewed from coffee bean. Citygal ordered herself the Columbia Bean in Mocha Pot. It was very aromatic and I got attracted to it. However, it was kinda late for me to have a cuppa. Else I would be ‘all-night-awake’. Anyhow, I will return for their coffee.

Portuguese’s egg tart
The buttery flavored pastry is rich in the-very-butter-aroma.
The middle part consists of custard in crème-brulee-like consistency caramelized fashion.
Yum-Yum,
That’s the Portuguese egg tart.
The 葡式蛋挞.
Portuguese egg tart is always best for tea or breakfast. But I would prefer it during my tea time. King’s Confectionary’s Portuguese egg tart is the only Portuguese style egg tart I have tried. Their Portuguese egg tarts always run out in a short time (err… at least this happened in King’s nearby my place).
Dear Readers,
Is there any other places selling Portuguese egg tart besides King’s Confectionary?!
Do recommend some places for me, please… I would love to try out and make comparison ~ :P

A Big TQ to Jackson upon his recommendations. I love the food over there!
I am not able to update so often because of the final starting on Monday which consists of 8 papers and last for 3 weeks (*.* half dead).
I need some times to compile and write-on about this. So, please be patience~
A full detail on Pick n’ Brew will be coming ‘very soon’.
Wish me Luck in my Finals! ~ ^.^
