I had to go for a videoshoot today. Ok, bukan aku yang nak di shoot, tapi there were things that I was needed to do lah.

Sheesh, why am I explaining myself here?

Anywayyyyyyyyy, during that time adalah diorang sediakan makan-makan and I saw somebody eating sate. He went to talk to me and I can clearly see how fat the sate were. And ohh the smelllll.

I want.. I want!!

I want.. I want!!

Oh. Did I tell you that I am fasting?

So I was thinking.. hmm.maybeee I could go to sate ria and makan sate bercucuk-cucuk.

Ohh ohh meleh air liurr.

But not until emak  smsed me

Arini mak masak sambal tumis sotong kering dengan sup ayam. Makan kat rumah ke?

Apakah sate boleh melawan sambal sotong mak aku?

Tentulah tidakkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Ya Allah cepatlah berbuka.

And after that ihihihk.. someone yang ku tunggu-tunggu akan sampai.

Tolonglah bawak balik chocolate setap.

Tsk.

Cepatla buka.

House of Fishball

Last weekend, I had something to do somewhere near Damansara area. By the time I finished my thing, it’s already time for lunch.

I was thinking to cook tapi memikirkan penat ahhh makan dekat luar jelah and this is when the driver suggested House of Fishball.

A resturant yang jual semuaaa makanan berasaskan ikan.

Now, it is almost a yearlah kitorang tak pegi makan situ and I know the driver is missing their homeland mee. And as for me, I am craving for their taufu fa.

chics sengih
Ninie menyampah gila aku pakai baju ni, sorry Ninie kita takde baju dahh :P

Usually, if I eat anywhere I will always order warm water unless there’s some special drink offered at the kedai and for House of fishball, ialah air asam boi nya. The best I’ve ever drank.

air
Before you stir it.

air asam boi
They stuff the asam boi into the lime.

Minum masa matahari tengah terik adalah sangat heavennnnnnnnnnn. They also sell their asam boi stuffed limau separately, just look for it at the counter.

As for food..

Homeland mee
Homeland mee

According to the driver, homeland mee reminded him of mee kolok -the chinese version.

If you think your mee kolok is nice, think again, you have yet to taste the original mee kolok, which is sadly tidak boleh dimakan lagi oleh tukang bawak kereta kerana ada babi atau menggunakan minyak babi.

The halal one are all altered.

Anyway, homeland mee is a dry type of mee, tapi ada supla dekat tepi. Did you see the fishcakes? They all fresh and handmade from 100% real fish.

foo chuk
Foo chuk

The two rolls are fried foo chuk [I think]. I think there’s fish and vege inside. Ordered them to cicah with sauce and their black spicy soy sauce.

celery mee
Celery mee

This is mine, celery mee. The mee is made from celery hence the colour.

green mee
Green!

Don’t be scared, they are nice. Take it from someone who hate sayur like me. Just like the fishcake, the fishball are made fresh without boric acid or any preservatives. I usually hate fishball and fishcake coz they smell and taste weird but not this one.

The soup is normal, not so much taste but I like it, not sure about you.

Sadly their taufu fa sudah habis, agak kecewa sebab I loveeeeeeeeee the taufufa, with a hint of ginger taste. Nyamm. Takpe lain kali aku pegi aku makan dua [wahh tamakk]

Anddddddddd if you a porridge lover, do try their porridge. Saya adalah suka!

So dekat manala?

Do you know where’s uptown hailam chicken rice? Or kiosk [is it 7-11 now?], or one of my tetek, Layla’s Closet? Paling senang Starbucksla.. Dia sederet dengan semua tempat mentioned.

Here’s the full address

House Of Fishball – The Original 60’s Teow Chew Fish Ball

Chewy chewyyy brownies

I was bloghopping until I found a blog that sells brownies.

Pinkyretrosbazaar.

Now, I don’t really like brownies sebab to me there have no difference with chocolate cake – I don’t really like chocolate cake; muaklah. Ala you know the Chilis type of brownies tula, yang gebu itu, I don’t quite like. But the blog is selling the chewy type, which reminded me of Mrs Field cookies. Ohhh I loveeeeeee Mrs Field cookies, too bad that are no longer in business here.

Tempted, I ordered half a tray of walnut brownies. Dia ada dua jenisla yang diorang jual, normal ones and with walnut, I went for walnut.

I told them I would like to have it on Sunday and they said it’s possible walaupunnnnnn aku order short notice. And ohhhh, they are very friendly people too dan pantas membalas segala soalan dan email. I likeeeeee.

So, on sunday lepas bangun tido akibatttttttttttt kepenatan, kesakitann [will blog about it later] I went to PKNS – one of their pick up point to pick up the brownies. I met Hunny, one of them and she’s very sweet :)

You want to see the brownies?

The packaging, it’s tightly seal. So if you want them to post it to you, there should be no worries at all.

Cepatla bukakkkkkkk

Tadaaaaaaaaaa. Like I said, this is the chewy type hence the look. And I didn’t opt for the topping sebab tah nak makan plain macam ni jela kot. Dahla satu bekas apa tak muak nak makan siap ada topping sebanyak itu?

100_7553

Sorry for the blur pic, ni nak kene belicamera baru ni [hint 100x].

So how was it?

Setappppppppppppp!

Aku pergi ambik sensorang, by the time aku nak naik atas, the top layer is almost gone hehe. It’s sweet yet not too lemak – which I like. Stok yang makan banyak tapi tak muak.

And the taste is fresh, no weird packet taste, ni macam rasa makan kek baru lepas keluar oven.

Good thing about chewy brownies, boleh makan sambil menaip hehehee.

Habisla gemuk aku lepas ni…lepas tu habisla Peej datang shah alam baling lemak dekat aku sebab aku kata aku gemukkk. Hehe Peej jangan mintau hijau ok, aku tau tak klaka tapi bila nak  ngadu aku dah gemuk tetibe aku terbayang muka kau ready nak baling lemak.

Oklah, stop the crap, aku nak pegi bawah jap nak ambik lagi 2, besok nak puasa dah –>kecoh gila padahal orang lain dah lama start.

Tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
