I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">decided to just sit back and enjoy the thing.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WWam8jRDiwc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WWam8jRDiwc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The story to me in essence is about 2 people finding each other and then realising the value of how ones life can positively impact another. The delivery of this is done through a somewhat difficult to believe (forgive my logical head) dream sequence, where the protagonist, Temmuz, dreams of a young boy asking to find him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Temmuz, an artist who seems to be living a carefree and almost bohemian no-fucks-to-give lifestyle is stuck in an artistic rut, stemming from complicated relationship with his parents and significant other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then on day, while with his agent/best friend, he sees the same exact boy in his dream, a disabled one at that, being wheeled around by an elderly woman. This shocks him into action and he shadows them to find a means to introduce himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thoroughly intrigued, Temmuz devises a way to segue himself into their lives as a social work volunteer, offering a regular book reading session to the boy to answer the burning questions in his mind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The story arc picks up when Temmuz finally commences their reading session when Ihsan, the boy, pointblank asks him what does he want from them. Cornered, Temmuz decides to come clean and explain about his haunting dream. Surprised as Ihsan was, he accepts Temmuz's offer, in return for a favour - to be killed, so that in death he can meet God to ask if God loved him at all to have created him that way. What </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ensues after is the beginning of a unique relationship between the two and all those closest to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wont be spoiling the movie more than I already have, but I must declare that the movie had such a powerful impact on me I dwelled on it for days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The actors playing Temmuz and Ihsan respectively were very effective in their roles. I particularly appreciated how Ihsan, the disabled boy was the one who appeared emotionally stronger and centred despite his apparent situation and Temmuz the rich spoiled artiste being shaped by his encounter with Ihsan. It is a wonderful hypothesis of how one person can deeply affect another. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As their relationship progresses, the spectre of Ihsan's request looms closer as the dynamic of their shared passion and vigour grows. We are then confronted with the truth of Ihsan's desire contrasted against Temmuz unfocused approach to life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tale culminates in a heart pounding crescendo that will forever change their lives. I ended the movie feeling out of sorts and questioning if any of us could ever be in either Temmuz's or Ihsan's figurative shoes,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course, the film is not without its failings - the pacing, the supporting characters, and the general feeling of how convenient it all seemed, does affect the believability of the story. The sometimes cartoony CGI employed also detracted from the moment. The actors D</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eniz Celiloglu and Aras Bulut Iynemli </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to me, carried the entire emotional heft of the movie between themselves. Deniz keeping Temmuz's heart on the backburner and Aras displaying all using only his face and expressive eyes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another bit I found to be worth of note is the Turkish language used in the film adds so much beauty, at moments sounding Arabic (or Abrahamaic in origin) and in others more aurally Hindi. It just rolls off their mouths with no jarring sounds and just flows into the balmy, sun-tinged videography.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the time being, the movie can be found on YouTube and watched for free on the YT panel above or this link - https://youtu.be/WWam8jRDiwc . Feel free to view it and tell me what you think. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I definitely consider this one of my favourite movie. </span></div>

(JP Cooper, feat. Kojey Radical)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've got a problem, sitting in front of two piles of albums</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were so happy the times that we bought them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All that we know about love is ending</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All that we have learned</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Helping you up when I don't even wanna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carry in boxes of memories for ya</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not a smoker, but now I'm searching, for a light</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be having a party</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And all our friends are having a laugh, hey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it's not so funny to me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When morning comes, you will be gone, hmm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've got a problem, they're playing our song but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're done with the dancing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It won't be long before everyone's asking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wishing that we could still talk about it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll get all that we have got</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your own decisions will come back to haunt ya</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I'll be the ghost of the lover who lost ya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is there a way that we can talk about it? Oh, no</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be having a party</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And all our friends are having a laugh, hey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're just having a party</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This feeling I got afew more rounds, hey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nobody knows it than me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When morning come, you will be gone, ohh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the music stops</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can never bite my tongue when I'm love drunk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tell wisdom hold me back, you're fave to take a shot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your destiny was chasing these dreams</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just got me lost, well, I've gone too far</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Temptation when it may plan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These lemons are far too bitter, a double came on the rocks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was never breaking news</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(All that we've been through)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We might never get that time back, but never needed to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait for me, I am way too selfish, I am way too</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Way too helpless, I am way too much</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This can't be healthy for us</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Understand we over stood like Badu</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Mali was us</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you told all I needed was trust</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We'll make it work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Truth back and forth just make it less</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every piece of advice could fill the hass</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Replace could only help you remember wealth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why can't I smile when I'm happy for you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pop a bubble, tryi'na subtle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So you know this already, shouldn't have to tell you</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who cares if I make a scene?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my house, this was our home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before you turned the lights out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wisdom told me let her go, they told me that you'd come back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your destiny's yours to chase</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I try to keep up my tap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promises on your finger</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your weapons upon my back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise to have my back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You promise that you'll be...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We found ourselves with a bit of time to while away in Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. As is common on weekends, the mall was full of shoppers and the post lunch crowd. Mom did some bit of shopping and after a while we got into a peckish mood. We found a relatively vacant cafe called Cosans Coffee and plonked our rears into some seats (relief for bad achey backs).<br />
<br />
I liked the decor, dark browns, woods and earthy tones matched with blacks. Felt masculine and more muted than say Starbucks or CBTL. The seeming toned down ambiance appealed much to my older sensibilities. <br />

<br />
The menu was for the most part, typical of coffee cafes, drinks based on coffee and teas with a selection of foods that go well with both. I was for the most part quite unimpressed about the place, but the aroma of the coffee wafting from the coffee machine decided it for me. Waited in line and was quickly attended to by the boyish gaggle of Baristas there. They were fun, making good recommendations and actively courted for favourable response from the customers. I did notice that they spoke good Manglish (not Mangled English, but Malaysian English, interspersing BM words into their English) further making them feel open and friendly and peculiarly disarming. <br />

We ordered a few drinks, and 3 slices of cake (peckish or plain kebulur?). I order my customary Americano On The Rocks (Espresso poured over ice) and Sis had a Coffee Frap. The cakes were Almond Cream Sponge , Mississippi Mud and Chocolate Hazelnut Slice. Quite different cakes but with a central note of chocolate and nuts carrying through.<br />

The skies opened and Angels sang when I took my first sip of my American OTR. The now cool brown & black liquor was very deep, smooth and carried with it an extremely long finish of dark chocolate. The drink elicited a wonderful chewing response that somehow further amped the chocolaty undertones. Glorious it was. Sis' drink like wise too had this deep finish, that sat atop the thick and creamy mix of the blended drink. It had been a long while since I had such coffee with a Strong individual character such as this, being accustomed to Starbucks (Medium Roasted beans mostly) levels of Espresso based drinks. <br />

We enquired as to what kind of beans they used and the Baristas stated that theirs were a blend of Arabica beans from the Indonesian continent. On the mouth feel and aromas, I imagine it would be a mix of Arabica and Robusta beans (get off your snooty Arabica high horse and try other beans Razee!). Such a good character of coffee to use as their house blend. In the end, I ordered another large American OTR before we left. It was that fucking good!<br />
<br />
The total bill came up to almost RM 100, including the small tip we left for the Boys. Money well spent.<br />

Glenn, our old time secondary school mate was back in Malaysia for a spell and wanted to hang around and do dinner. Avian, our very own Mr Glue quickly set up a get-together at Frisson Coffee Bar in Damansara Uptown.<br />
<br />
The place had been in operation for several years already as it were yet none of us had tried the place. Thus yesterday evening we all met for din din (emphasis on making a Din, we were raucous!).<br />
<br />
The conversation just flowed and it was amazing to be able to just immediately pick up where we left off, as if we didn't have the years of growing between any of us.<br />

Mom had the desire to buy some fabric for her latest curtain project for the Kajang house. So we drove down into the hell that is Jakel in Shah Alam where I later spent over an hour driving around looking for a parking lot. Tiresome hour later, Mom finally emerged from the hell mouth, victorious in subduing many meters of dangerous fabric. <br />
<br />
Then we drove back to Sg Buloh to pick up a few things at home before driving back out for Lunch. I decided that it was to be Japanese food and selected Sushi Tei in Tropicana City Mall. And Yes, just that day alone I drove over 120kms!<br />
<br />
Thank heavens by the time we reached the restaurant at 3.30pm, the Lunch service crowd had totally dissipated. This allowed us most expedient service, perfect for our already hangry selves. <br />

<br />
I proceeded to order a bunch of items off the menu to start (usual suspects of cold marinated baby octopus, cold green seaweed and crispy baby crabs while we sipped on cool cups of iced green tea.<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xl5t1mTuTlU/WONkRsXLATI/AAAAAAAAGJo/MCG3fYkjcHA/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><br />

<br />
Then it was on to more serious stuff - Crisp Spider Maki, lightly torched Mentai Mayo & Crab Roll, Sweet Daikon Maki, Crisp Salmon Skin<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o3_3lw7Mo6U/WONkY_F7YTI/AAAAAAAAGJ0/1wNlj-0k4W8/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o3_3lw7Mo6U/WONkY_F7YTI/AAAAAAAAGJ0/1wNlj-0k4W8/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />

<br />
Mom then also asked for her favourite 'Pregnant Fish' - Grilled Shishamo, to round off the order, a Sushi Tei Salad w Salmon Skin (hey, we need the greens to balance out all the ther stuff right?), while I ordered another specialty roll of theirs - Deep Fried Tuna Mayo in Seaweed Roll.<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IjJkEpCNJ5Q/WONkkkHeC6I/AAAAAAAAGKI/lSj8ODJ20ko/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IjJkEpCNJ5Q/WONkkkHeC6I/AAAAAAAAGKI/lSj8ODJ20ko/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
The last 3 items perfectly sated us for the day where we skipped dinner altogether. The lunch at Sushi Tei came up to just shy of RM 125, which is a bit more when compared against Sakae Sushi or Sushi King. However, it was a good lunch as the quality of the food and the speed of service certainly is above the latter.</div>

The cafe is packed with small square tables and red/black low-back chairs originally popularised by Japanese modern designers. <br />

<br />
Brightly lit yet not glaringly so, the place seemed open and clean, thanks to its unfussy design and flat orderly table layout. <br />

<br />
Hanbing Korean Dessert Cafe calls their bingsu Green Tea Snowy Ice and despite the relatively hefty price tag of RM24 for a bowl, it turned out to be an interesting delight. Their menu informs that their Snowy Ices takes 10-20minutes to prepare but mine arrived in less than that. <br />
<br />
And what a sight to behold when the Powdery mossy-green Matcha galore arrives at my table.<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SwOLLKRr7ic/WKwCKoypT5I/AAAAAAAAGG4/LgBCnKCnyx8/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SwOLLKRr7ic/WKwCKoypT5I/AAAAAAAAGG4/LgBCnKCnyx8/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />

<br />
The texture was amazing, cool and smooth with a slightest crystalline mouthfeel. To my surprise, the Matcha was not just dusted on. Instead it was a proper concoction that was then given the 'snowing' treatment. <br />
<br />
Looking carefully at the ice, one could see the beautiful lattices and struts that gives it amazing mouthfeel.<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jJcyW0QF5iY/WKwCNfdYAVI/AAAAAAAAGHA/rVpjtVfNEvQ/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jJcyW0QF5iY/WKwCNfdYAVI/AAAAAAAAGHA/rVpjtVfNEvQ/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />

<br />
The thick, rich redbean paste scoop on the ice added more earthy flavour while adding a gentle sweetness. Inside, I discovered gems of slivered roasted almonds (so crispy it remained so despite sitting in liquid) and squishy, chewy bites of glutinous rice cubes rolled in dry roasted soya powder. <br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Zg5e5Nr73KM/WKwCRLcMuwI/AAAAAAAAGHI/QB4m3lmkiqE/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Zg5e5Nr73KM/WKwCRLcMuwI/AAAAAAAAGHI/QB4m3lmkiqE/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Each flavour profile and texture worked in concert to create such a beguiling dessert. Matcha powder often leaves a green astringent and bitter aftertaste, but this one did not. I attribute this to the green tea powder being mixed in the water and milk base that makes up the basis of a Bingsu. I had originally planned to savour it slowly but in the end the bowl lasted about 15 minutes of my slow but sure scooping. <br />

<br />
Update:<br />
<br />
Hanbing now also serves a Musang King Snowy Ice. This said, my heart forever remains with the Green Tea/Matcha version.<br />

His measured motions of kneading and pulling, slowly coaxing thw dough into thinner and finer strands. <br/>

<br/>
As it were, the pulling and twisting cycles effectively activate and relaxes the wheat gluten in turns, resulting in noodles that have a characteristic firmness and bite. <br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wzjmPUOwpWU/WKKz52JhoGI/AAAAAAAAGFg/tXayS9d4PYw/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wzjmPUOwpWU/WKKz52JhoGI/AAAAAAAAGFg/tXayS9d4PYw/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>
<br/>
Their menu is small and unfussy: Soupy Noodles or Fried Noodles, with a smattering of side dishes. Wanting the authentic experience, I was recommended the Mee Soup w Spicy Beef.<br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aJ4bSpO9ris/WKKzqvMXLlI/AAAAAAAAGFI/B6t0Cwp_xI8/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aJ4bSpO9ris/WKKzqvMXLlI/AAAAAAAAGFI/B6t0Cwp_xI8/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>

<br/>
How it works here is that you take ur desired table, pick items from their menu (food and drinks), write it on their order slip and proceed to pay at the cashier. Then they send your goodies to you at your table.<br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1gkhRtJJmFw/WKKz3aBzX1I/AAAAAAAAGFc/IJ-0MKyRdGI/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1gkhRtJJmFw/WKKz3aBzX1I/AAAAAAAAGFc/IJ-0MKyRdGI/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>
<br/>
My order took a little while get done, about 30 minutes! Apparently there was a mix-up with the order stubs and someone overlooked it. This however could have been prevented had one of the many Waitstaff actually took note of their guest order. <br/>
<br/>
My server profusely apologised after I reprimanded them (she was on the verge of tears, lolz). And she brought my bowl less than a minute later. <br/>
<br/>
An unassuming bowl it was. A tight bundle of ivory hued noodles in clear soup flecked with chilli oil and sliced spring onions. <br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tDsxlB138J8/WKKzv4Ptk5I/AAAAAAAAGFQ/ep06bIcLmeY/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tDsxlB138J8/WKKzv4Ptk5I/AAAAAAAAGFQ/ep06bIcLmeY/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>

<br/>
Then upon tasting my first spoonful of broth, my righteous anger instantly deflated. It had the smoothest and cleaning tasting broth I have ever tasted (the chinese are masters of broth, hands down). Rich with chicken and bright ring of star anise and background of peppercorns. The chilli oil then worked to prolong the sensation while it unfolded the gradual heat of the chilli. Slurp it in hot and fast and you will quickly discover the wonderful harmony. <br/>
<br/>
Then I bit into the noodles. <br/>
<br/>
JOY! <br/>
<br/>
Imagine thin noodles approximating Capellini pasta but with an impressive fight and bite. How could something so thin be so delectably chewy? Yup, the chef's repeated pulling and twisting gave birth to amazing noodle mouthfeel.<br/>
<br/>
I must definitely bring Boss Mama and family to one of their many sister outlets in Malaysia and see how they react.<br/>

Hakka dishes can sometimes be such an enigma. The first time I tried Lei Cha years ago I fell in love so hard with it. <br />
<br />
Something quite magical about a dish of rice with and assortment of vegetables and side dishes that one mixes with a savoury and incredibly fragrant 'Tea' made out of careful blend of fresh herbs and seasonings. <br />
<br />
Traditionally Lei Cha (or Lui Cha) is cooked white or brown rice (choose brown for more texture) served in a bowl with 4-6 side dishes of gently sauteed chopped vegetables - French beans, bean sprouts, long beans, siew pak choy, chinese kale, chinese cabbage (often an intended mix of mild and strongly flavoured veges), slices of Yau Char Kuai (or Tofu), crisp fried peanuts and chopped salted Chinese cabbage. <br />
<br />
The hot tea is made by grinding a mix of sesame seeds, and leafy herbs like sweet basil and others in hot water. This hot tea is then commonly given in a small pot on the side.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XRwvRHFUA6g/WKJ7JjG02_I/AAAAAAAAGEs/wLEGxVtaIZc/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XRwvRHFUA6g/WKJ7JjG02_I/AAAAAAAAGEs/wLEGxVtaIZc/s350/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Eating it is also somewhat an interactive affair, requiring the diner to augment the bowl with varying amounts of this herbal savoury tea. Some prefer it with just enough tea and some prefer an almost soupy mix. <br />
<br />
Personally I prefer my bowl of mixed goodies slightly wet (but not dripping) and leaving it for a few minutes for the rice to soak up all the punchy green flavours of the tea. What ever remaining soup I often finish off on its own.<br />
<br />
Give it a try, you might like it.</div>

Had loads of time to kill while window shopping last year in Tropicana City Mall. Found the mall for the most part still like it was, with some new shops, replacing some that has closed.<br />
<br />
Lunch soon after became a necessity while awaiting for a movie. So in I walked into Farmers Street restaurant at LG Floor, across Aeon Supermarket's side entrance. <br />
<br />
The place had this soft moody lighting, perfect for chilling out and slowly enjoying a meal.<br />

<br />
I quickly perused the sizeable menu and ordered a few dishes - Assam Laksa, Chicken Lor Bak and for dessert, Sweet Peanut Soup. They came quickly too, probably on account of it being almost 3.30pm. <br />

<br />
The Assam Laksa has a nice deep flavour with a good kick of sour, exactly the way I prefer it, and it had in the bowl a wonderfully fresh half of a fish. The noodles were slightly on the limp side though, probably a result of being blanched for a bit too long and them getting smothered in the hot gravy again. However, the dish was still good to have. <br />
<br />
The Lor Bak platter was wonderful, slices of meat shining with fragrant 5-Spice powder. The crisp fried tofu was tender within and the Century Egg had no off-putting ammonia odours too. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jz1Vj6h5o94/WKA7WK_oLZI/AAAAAAAAGDk/tpLjrY5nrso/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jz1Vj6h5o94/WKA7WK_oLZI/AAAAAAAAGDk/tpLjrY5nrso/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="400" /></a><br />
The dessert was a wonderful treat. Thick unctuos soup of carefully sweetened ground peanuts offered 2 chubby Tong Yuen pearls. This dish is honestly such a simple dish, but again, the play of sweet versus above-average thickness (they used starch certainly) resulted in a lasting smooth mouth feel as it went down. <br />
<br />
By now sated and in bliss, I took a look at the menu again (not for more food) to look at the kinds of sweets on offer. <br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K8dmWD9RW5E/WKA7nuN8oII/AAAAAAAAGDw/Gc0gxf4s6OI/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K8dmWD9RW5E/WKA7nuN8oII/AAAAAAAAGDw/Gc0gxf4s6OI/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Then I saw this.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AVGrB3JfJNI/WKA7b59PbTI/AAAAAAAAGDo/z40fbP8PLC4/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AVGrB3JfJNI/WKA7b59PbTI/AAAAAAAAGDo/z40fbP8PLC4/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="360" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stewed Red Dates with Hasma?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Hasma? Really, a Hasma based dessert here? Gulp. A real facepalm moment for me. A repeat of when I came to know what Guilinggao Jelly really is made out of from many years ago. <br />
<br />
For the uninitiated, Hasma is believed to be a therapeutic ingredient (like bird's nest, etc.. featuring almost always in Chinese sweet-soups) of harvested fatty tissue from around the fallopian tubes of frogs. Yes, more commonly Rana esculenta (cheaper) or Rana chinensis (more gourmet) frogs! <br />
<br />

Serves me right for not checking the Halal status of the shop. LOL!</div>

Finally, after moving here earlier this month, we got our first hit of Satay Kajang. <br />
<br />
Came upon this place via a simple Google search and used Waze to get here. It was an easy enough drive despite the on-going construction works everywhere in Kajang (its the LRT lah, memang everywhere right?).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oZxDomtxFiI/WI4Uo8B5qnI/AAAAAAAAGBk/nYKxH_IRbj8/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oZxDomtxFiI/WI4Uo8B5qnI/AAAAAAAAGBk/nYKxH_IRbj8/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="400" /></a><br />

<br />
Langkawi was great for seafood and friends, but getting proper Satay is akin to grasping at straws. Imagine my joy at being able to munch on these morsels-on-a-stick.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3Vcpe0DJUiw/WI4UHpJuYyI/AAAAAAAAGBY/cE1T4Gyip_k/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3Vcpe0DJUiw/WI4UHpJuYyI/AAAAAAAAGBY/cE1T4Gyip_k/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="400" /></a><br />
As is common for Kajang Satay, the peanut sauce comes in 2 parts - the sweet peanut gravy and the spicy sambal. Diners can mix these 2 based on their desire for that chilli kick. Accompaniments of sliced timun and nasi impit (instant lah!) are also provided, but kenapa tiada hirisan bawang besar ye?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cg6owmT4IQ0/WI4UT5Z0dKI/AAAAAAAAGBc/MEW9Rd-OTOU/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cg6owmT4IQ0/WI4UT5Z0dKI/AAAAAAAAGBc/MEW9Rd-OTOU/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="400" /></a><br />
10 sticks each of Chicken, Duck and Mutton.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-flyIV9NpxK8/WI4Ug0mndbI/AAAAAAAAGBg/OxX2voLbmPs/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-flyIV9NpxK8/WI4Ug0mndbI/AAAAAAAAGBg/OxX2voLbmPs/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="400" /></a><br />
Joy.<br />
<br />
I would rate this place with 3.5/5 Stars. The meats were a bit on the firm side (some will argue tough, but I like my meats with a bit of bite to it). But the sticks were evidently well marinated and properly cooked.<br />
<br />
The gravy it self was a bit on the sweetish side, despite Mak and I going overkill with the sambal. Thankfully I never take the sauce with the satays itself. Only have it with the nasi impit or sliced vegs.<br />
<br />
Of course we had to invite the rest of the family for some Satay fun the week after. We had more of course, Limpa (beef spleen) Paru (beef lights), Perut Tembusu (beef small intestine), Perut (beef rumen) and the usual suspects of Beef and Chicken. Hahaha.<br />

We kind of got into a circuit of revisiting our favourite restaurants. As a result, trying new places we did not. <br/>
<br/>
Mid Ramadhan (yes, months ago!), a new eatery opened in Cenang Mall, replacing my fave Japanese places (sob sob). Manhattan Seafood Market swung open its doors to all. <br/>
<br/>
I generally do not visit a new restaurant, as I believe all new eateries will have teething problems with food quality or service. And so only fairly recently gave it a try. <br/>
<br/>
The menu is similar to the one offered at any other of the same name as it is a franchise. So I wasnt expecting to be wowed by new stuff. <br/>
<br/>
However, the quality here is noticeably better. The seafood tasted fresher, richer and more carefully cooked. I dont think it is because of the local seafood supply. Chain restaurants often used a centralise recipe and supplier to ensure consistency in food quality. <br/>
<br/>
I would hazard that this outlet has good customer turnover so that their food stocks get a good replenishment cycling. <br/>
<br/>
Anyways, Mom and I decided we were going to sample a many dishes as we could finish for this dinner and ordered a few things. Our 2 waiters (and 1 host) were knowledgeable and gave us insights to how big portions were. <br/>
<br/>
First up to start were their Spicy Oyster Shooters. These were fresh and despite not having particularly large oysters per shot, they gave 2 per shooter and topped with a delightfuly sharp, tangy and spicy sambal salsa. <br/>
One would think the chilli hit would kill the delicate flavour of oysters but to me it prolonged the richness and metallic tang of the molluscs. <br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H0GxZXbdISE/V9amxfLP5SI/AAAAAAAAFx0/MVfbMu60BNE/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H0GxZXbdISE/V9amxfLP5SI/AAAAAAAAFx0/MVfbMu60BNE/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>

<br/>
Then our Onion fritters arrived. Essentially sweet onions dipped in batter and fried to crisp golden scoopers. Pair this with their mayo/buttermilk side dip and it was heaven. <br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qby-rEAEs50/V9am1h7xVmI/AAAAAAAAFx8/SQAtdlHf8L0/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qby-rEAEs50/V9am1h7xVmI/AAAAAAAAFx8/SQAtdlHf8L0/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>

<br/>
Midway our other starter arrived. <br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CNEZlFChIe8/V9am5DW8U7I/AAAAAAAAFyE/8WFuzaYUHSE/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CNEZlFChIe8/V9am5DW8U7I/AAAAAAAAFyE/8WFuzaYUHSE/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>
Tiny crisp whitebait atop fresh coleslaw. This dish I felt was good, but the portion size was on the small side. <br/>
<br/>
Finally our main courses arrived. Mom's seafood in a pan thing came and my Seafood Curry a few moments later. <br/>

These were as expected, very comfortable portions great for filling up the belly. The flavours were punchy, spices full and fragrant and the seafood was cooked nicely. Fish can be a bitch to cook perfectly but these were done well. My slipper lobster too retained its size despite the slow simmering pot a curry dish would demand. I lapped up every single morsel and spoonful of the gravy. Imagine the sourish Indian/Mamak style curry, now imagine dipping toasted slivers of baguette in it and pushing that crunchy yet soaked piece of bread in you mouth. Uhhuh. Yup. Thats what I am talking about.<br/>

MFM is definitely not our kind of everyday food place, but for about Rm130 for all the food and 2 drinks (refillable) we can certainly see ourselves coming here for meals.</div>Razee Sallehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17477147197721010180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199706448674853095.post-70957423815659956112016-07-14T11:44:00.001+08:002016-07-16T13:49:53.459+08:00Post Raya Feels<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
So, 1st of Syawal, Aidil Fitri came recently and life now resumes after a very short break with family.<br />
<br />
My sister, brother and sis-in-law and their boys came over to spend some time in Langkawi. <br />

<br />
Cant believe how big the boys are now. With such distinct characters too. Amazing. <br />
<br />
We had meals at many places too - home, Pizza Hut Cenang, Najjah Restaurant Padang Matsirat and McD (yes, McD!). <br />

We mostly lounged around at home (punctuated with more food of course, it is the Salleh Family way) but it was good. Even managed to bring some Grilled Chicken Pasta Bake for the team at work which I heard was very quickly demolished.<br />

Moments of simple bliss can often be missed mainly because we often forget to look for and enjoy it. But reminisce about your past, and I bet you the world, something will make you curl your lips and smile. <br />

We have been hankering for some Pizza in Langkawi but the usual selection of Pizza Hut, and a few other local more obvious shops such as Artisan's Pizza, Khairie's Pizza, among others were not gonna quite cut it. <br />
<br />
So, I fired up the Tripadvisor App and searched for Pizza. The Pizza Maker turned out to have the best ratings, and deservedly so we would soon find out (though there are a couple of reviewers who rated this place poorly, unfairly confusing another place with it).<br />
<br />
We arrived for dinner at about 8.30pm, in a windy downpour and found the place already had many tables occupied, despite the wet weather. <br />
<br />

<br />
We ordered to share between the three of us, a Bowl of Tuna Mixed-Salad, a Calzone (and chose fillings of Beef Bacon, Grana and Rocket leaves) and the Pizza Diavolo with add-on of Beef Bacon.<br />
<br />

<br />
We were NOT disappointed- the portions were very comfortable, the aromas mouthwatering, the pizza crust exhibiting just the right balance of crunch and chewiness. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k8L5rdmQJIk/V352ZXRWbYI/AAAAAAAAFpw/RuS-Uw-lhuE/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k8L5rdmQJIk/V352ZXRWbYI/AAAAAAAAFpw/RuS-Uw-lhuE/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
The flavour? You know the Chef takes pride in his craft. DELICIOUS! Fresh ingredients layered on top of more fresh ingredients. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PxChPBcrDrg/V352Wtvq0CI/AAAAAAAAFps/7RJnalI_BwE/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PxChPBcrDrg/V352Wtvq0CI/AAAAAAAAFps/7RJnalI_BwE/s400/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
Do yourself a favour by coming to the Pizza Maker in Pantai Tengah located at Tropical Resort (use Google Maps or Waze).<br />
<br />
Good food and good service, the place was busy during our visit but the food arrived relatively fast anyways.<br />
<br />
SEDAP!</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All things considered the food was good - Fish Mandhy and Tube Pasta Casserole was particularly yummy, as was their Lamb and Beef Koftas, as expected of a 4 star establishment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Service was speedy (though replenishment for certaim food items were slow), probably on account of the throngs of people who kwpt attacking certain dishes and beverage. Iftar worked outbto about RM84 for 2 persons (usual is RM48/adult).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We will be coming back to the restaurant a few days from now for a Company Get-Together Dinner and I am so looking forward to it.</span></div>

“They seem to be performing fine: putting in massive hours, grinding out work while contributing to teams, and saying all the right things in meetings. However, they are operating in a silent state of continual overwhelm, and the predictable consequence is disengagement.”<br/>
