La Roasteria Coffee @ Seremban

I am not a coffee addict (except Starbucks Frappuccino). But i don’t mind to have a cuppa once a while. I love chilling in a cafe, listening to music, reading some books, spending time with family or friends.

Last Saturday, Joanne suggested to go to La Roasteria Coffee. I am excited! I meant Seremban is no longer as a boring town as before! We got to know about this cafe from some blogs and received good reviews.

La Roasteria Coffee has two outlets. The one that we visited is in Jalan Kong Sang, it’s also their first outlet. The new branch is in Seremban 2, located nearby to Jusco S2.

The cafe is quite small but has a very cozy atmosphere. Magazine and newspaper are provided. Sentimental songs are being played too.

La Roasteria offered a great coffee selection. I ordered a Hazelnut Latte (RM8.20). It has a great blend of sweetness and flavor.

Joanne ordered Cakes + Coffee Set (RM12.80). I find that this blueberry cheese cake was fine, but i would prefer it to be more fluffy. This cheesecake is best served very cold and in the company of good coffee.

Mom had Macadamia Nut Latte (RM8.20) and Spaghetti Chicken Bolognese (RM10.80). The nutty flavor was good but not really strong. As for spaghetti, the sauce is flavorful and the spaghetti are well cooked.

For all the three lattes, my favorite is the hazelnut latte. It doesn’t have that overly sweet taste that a lot of flavored lattes do. Velvety and smooth, lightly sweet rather than cloying. The hazelnut flavor was subtle but definitely there.

This is my happy mom! So happy to see my mom happily enjoying her time!

La Roasteria Coffee is a modern little coffee shop with a friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Birthday Celebration @ Restaurant I-Delicious 爱特壹式港式茶餐厅 @ Seremban 2

Last Sunday, we celebrated advance birthday for my sister and brother, both of them are June’s babies.

We went to I-Delicious again for dinner. Since it was the first time for my second sister and bro in law to be here, they have ordered the signature dishes that I have posted in my previous post. So all I would like to highlight in this post is only the Tuna Cheese Baked Rice that me and my mom ordered and some of the pictures that we took on that day.

I am a cheese lover, every dishes made of cheese would definitely drive me crazy. Cheese Baked Rice is absolutely one of them, somehow there are various types of Cheese Baked Rice here, some with chicken, some with tuna, and many more.

When the food is served, it looked delicious! Unfortunately not until I have put the first spoon into my mouth!! I know it is no good to complain about food, as i have taught to appreciate food. But this dish was extremely sucks! Really sucks!! There are few sauce to choose for the rice. Me and mom chosen mushroom sauce. The sauce was as salty as seawater! The tuna is soddened! I felt like eating an half-cooked porridge!! Oh my goodness! Despite on that, I tried to finish as much as I can, because I don’t want to waste food. However, my mom can’t take it and ordered another dish. Very disappointed!!

Ok, time for cake session!

Me and Joanne bought a chocolate cake from Sweet Hut, which is located just across the road. I would say that the chocolate was very rich but I would prefer the cake texture could be softer.

Today is my brother – Jonathan’s actual birthday. Here is the wish from me:

My dearest brother, wish you a very warm and happy birthday. You are the precious to all of us. I feel blessed to have a brother like you. May you achieve and get, all you ever wish for. Always remember, we love you so much! ❤

♥ Charity Works with Family ♥

Today me and my family went to an handicapped & mentally disable centre and an old folks home to do some charity works.

Our first destination was Pusat Jagaan Orang Kurang Upaya Si Putih which is located nearby to our home. We actually dropped by to this place and met the president one day before our charity work. We wanted to know them deeply and understand their situation. Most importantly what can we give to help them.

This is a privately-run care centre by an Indian couple. They started this centre few years ago. Reason is they have a son who is also suffering mentally problem since he is born. So the couple decided to establish this centre so that someone can take over the centre and take care of their son one day when they are old. So touching! I feel like crying now.. :’(

The next destination was Sikamat Old Folks Home. It is a NGO care centre. We are not familiar in Sikamat, so before we reach the destination, we went to a wrong road, kept on calling my brother in law for road guide and so on. No matter how, our mind is to reach the old folks home!

After some time, we are finally reached! Actually the person in charge is not around today. We called yesterday and was told to meet a guy (sorry i couldn’t remember his name). We saw a couple of elderly men was sitting at the community hall outside. They saw us came and walked towards to the main gate. An elderly men claimed that he is the one that we are looking and introduced himself to us as ‘kepala’ aka head of centre. After clarified, he brought us around and introduced us to all elderly.

Here women and men has separately rooms. I noticed that this old folks home is very clean and good environment. Not like some other nursing home / old folks home that i visited last time.

Reminder for the elderly. It is placed on every elderly’s place to ensure their daily routine.

This old folks home is currently accommodated a total of 90 elderly. Age ranging from 70 to 90 plus. Kepala told us, the main requirement to stay in here is the person must be age 50 or above, single, never get married and never have any child.

We became very close, very warm feeling to each other. We went to every elderly.. Greeted, distributed foods and chat with them on by one. Most of the elderly here are cheerful and friendly.

There is a community hall and exercise room too.

Notice board showing the activities and the name of people who has done their charity works or donation to the centre.

Photos…

Kepala told us, there is a gardener expert will come to the centre to give them some gardening or planting lessons. No wondered all the veggies and flowers here are so lushly growth.

Lastly, some pictures of me and my mom with elderly. The elderly men on the far right is Kepala. He is such a nice and sporting elderly folk that i have ever met! We promised will surely pay a visit to them again soon!

Hope the community can have more enthusiastic people to visit nursing home / old folks home / orphanage home, to show our care, chat with them, so that they can feel the warmth from the community. It is important than anything else. Because of you, the world become better and beautiful! ♥

Restoran Just Noodle @ S2 Uptown Avenue, Seremban

Do you like noodle? Restoran Just Noodle seems like a great news for noodle’s lover! Located in Seremban 2 Uptown Avenue.

Porcelain bowls on the wall makes this restaurant more unique and oriental feel. Other than that, the lamp shades are also design by porcelain bowls.

Just Noodle has it all from Udon Noodles to Pan Mee, Wanton Noodles to spaghetti and many more served with chicken, seafood and meat. They also have a variety of soup and fried dumplings. Depend on your choice.

This will be the best so far.. Spicy Pan Mee served with mushroom and fried fungus and veggies.

This is something very new for me. Celery noodle. The taste of celery was quite strong. If you don’t like celery, please don’t order this.

This Spinach Wanton Noodle was simple and oil-free. Less ajinomoto. Suitable for those who prefer mild taste.

Beauty Review: Sávee Beauty Mask

I went for grocery shopping with my mom and sister last weekend. We passed by a beauty booth and got attracted by the signboard stated ‘RM1′ for all the facial masks! Sávee is a beauty brand from Singapore and have a branch in Subang Jaya. They were having a three days promotion. I have bought ten assorted facial masks from Sávee and have already tried some of it. In my opinion, I do not think it is good for me. I prefer essence that is thick and rich but certain masks from Sávee products are watery and it makes the process a little troublesome because it drips everywhere and makes it hard for me to relax and enjoy. I personally think that, most of the paper mask is a bit too thick. I have also bought the Nano Platinum Placenta from Sávee 3D Paper Mask Series and Eye Mask too. I am going to do review on these soon.

No offence, this is just my honest review on this facial mask. The paper mask is quite thick and it doesn’t stick to my face well, I have to constantly readjust the position to expel the air bubbles and the essence is watery. I noticed some effect on my face after using this mask but the result was not very obvious.

Happy Mother’s Day @ Seremban

This year we went twice for Mother’s Day dinner. Celebrated a week earlier because my 2nd sister and her family came back to hometown for GE.

It is nothing so special than spending time together with the loved ones.

Someone suggested me a place called The Windmill Station located in Seremban 2. I have tried The Windmill in Subang Jaya. Thought they are a brand in Seremban. Unfortunately, after looking at the menu, I realised that the foods they served are totally different from the one in my mind. We wanted to leave for another western restaurant in town. However, we didn’t make it because my brother in law was very hungry and also it was quite late already.

The restaurant has two sections, air-condition and fan. But you won’t realise it. Because the design of the restaurant is quite unique.

The foods…

Cappuccino (RM3.90)
My sister asked why no ❤ or nice design on her cappuccino! Hahaha!! She is just too cute!

Apple Juice (RM3.90)
This apple juice is tasted quite mild.

Spaghetti Bolognese (RM7.90)
Chicken chunks with Bolognese sauce served with pepper and some spices.

Mushroom Pasta (RM9.90)
Served with white sauce. Topped with grilled chicken fillet and mushroom.

Chicken Chop + Pineapple Rice (RM15.90)
Since the foods here are small and medium portion. This will be good for big eater. Served together with fruits as appetizer.

Family picture.. But not completed as my brother did not join for the dinner.

After dinner, we had some cold dessert in Meet Fresh (鲜芋仙). I am a dessert person.. Treat me any dessert and I will be so happy!

The foods:

Top left: Soy Bean Milk Selection >>> Taro + Red Bean + Pearl 芋头 + 红豆 + 珍珠 (RM6.50)
The Tau Fu Fah was very fresh. Not too sweet for this selection.

Bottom: Herbs Jelly Selection >>> Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly. Herb Jelly+ Herb Blended Ice+ Taro Balls+ Cream 鲜芋仙招牌, 仙草冻+ 仙草冰沙+ 芋圆+ 鲜奶油 (RM6.90)
Served with cream. The cream has added an extra flavor to the dessert. The taro balls were decent, but not very chewy.

I forgot the name on top right.

On the actual Mother’s Day, we brought mom out for dinner again. This time without my my 2nd sister and her family.

Honestly, I didn’t know Seremban is so happening now. Having many new cafes and restaurants now!

Joanne suggested to go to I Delicious (爱特壹式港式茶餐厅) in Seremban 2 Uptown. I was amazed by the interior design of this restaurant and also the foods. The place was very packed that day despite it was nearly 9pm. Was it because of Mother’s Day or Serembanian likes to hang out till late now? Haha!

The foods:

Hot Honey Milk (RM4.90)

Hong Kong Style Yin Yong (RM3.20)
First time I heard this can be refilled! Worth for order!

Honey Longan (RM4.50)

Portugese Bacon Fried Rice (RM8.90)
Huge portion!

Crispy Kung Pow Chicken Chop Rice (RM7.90)
It was good. My mom loves it. As long as she happy, we are happy! ❤

Yam Cake Honey Chicken Rice (RM11.90)
This is one of the signature dish here. No doubt, it was very yummy!! Highly recommended! Sorry for those who doesn’t like yam.. You will be missed.

Hong Kong Style Cheesy Pork Chop Rice (RM8.90)
Very strong cheesy. If you are not a cheese lover, do order this. But for those who are crazy for cheese like me, you will love it!

Black Pepper Grilled Chicken Chop (RM9.90)
My chicken chop was so so only. Very small portion.

Overall, I would recommend I Delicious and will revisit again very soon! Why? Because they offers reasonable price and serves yummy food!

Happy Mother’s Day to my beloved mama and all the mothers in the world! You are the most strongest and amazing women!

“Apa Lagi Cina Mahu?”

I am a Chinese and as a Malaysia citizen, it is a great dissapointment reading the the Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia published a headlines stated “Apa Lagi Cina Mahu?” from our own Prime Minister. Where is the 1Malaysia’s spirit that you have mentioned? 1Malaysia means to unite all Malays, Indians and Chinese but today you were imputing “CHINESE” that affected your votes. Booo!!

Boston 又一城 @ Sunway Mentari, Petaling Jaya

I have won some free vouchers to dine in Boston 又一城. So i went for dinner with Mr. S last week.

This trendy “kopitiam” that serves wide variety of famous contemporary Malaysian all-time delicacies, they provide breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper to satisfy your taste buds.

I like chilling out here with friends as i enjoy the ambiance of cozy atmosphere.

At Boston Concept Restaurant, customers could savour more than 200 delectable choices of fusion delicacies that would definitely tickle and tempt your taste buds…all at affordable prices.

We have ordered:

Assorted Vegetable Corn Rice (RM6.95)

Served with eggplants, long beans, sweet peas, tomatoes, cucumbers and egg. I love it so much!

Sweet & Sour Chicken Corn Rice (RM9.95)

This Sweet and Sour Chicken served with chicken, fresh pineapple, carrots, green & red peppers and sauce that’s so delicious smothered over a bed of white rice.

With the heat wave in full force in Klang Valley this week, we desperately needed something quick to cool us down and quench our thirst.

Sweet & Frizzy (RM6.90)

A cool and refreshing dessert to lighten up the mood and to settle down those sweet cravings during this scorching hot weather is surely a frizzy lime fruity drink. Mixed with lime and mints and served with lychee. It tasted sourly sweet.

Rainbow Smoothie (RM6.90)

I love the combination of dragon fruit and mango. The colour is simply amazing and the flavour is truly unique and unlike anything I’ve ever had — you can really taste the dragon fruit and mango in there.

Painful Wrist

After more than a month of feeling pain on my wrist. Finally i went to see an Orthopaedic Specialist in Columbia Asia Hospital today. I had muscle pain last time and It cured in a short time and thought it was just a normal muscle pain. So I didn’t pay much attention until I realised it isn’t normal. A month of suffering is seriously not a joke.

My specialist – Doctor Saiful, carefully examined my hand from my elbow to my palm. Every part is fine except my wrist. He then asked me to go for X-Ray scanning. After about 15 mins, I went to see him again. He showed me my wrist radiograph and explained to me the problem. The pain actually due to wrist tendonitis.

So what is Wrist Tendonitis? Wrist tendonitis, also called tenosynovitis, is a common condition characterized by irritation and inflammation of the tendons around the wrist joint.

Many tendons surround the wrist joint. Wrist tendonitis usually affect one of the tendons, but it may also involve two or more. Often wrist tendonitis occurs at points where the tendons cross each other or pass over a bony prominence.
The wrist tendons slide through smooth sheaths as they pass by the wrist joint. These tendon sheaths, called the tenosynovium, allow the tendons to glide smoothly in a low-friction manner.

When wrist tendonitis becomes a problem, the tendon sheath or tenosynovium, becomes thickened and constricts the gliding motion of the tendons. The inflammation also makes movements of the tendon painful and difficult.

The most common and consistent complaint of patients diagnosed with wrist tendonitis is pain over the area of inflammation. Swelling of the surrounding soft-tissues is also quite common.

I was also being asked to go to see Physiotherapy for Ultrasound Therapy which is located in the same hospital.

During this period, I am advised not to carry heavy thing, no hard work, try not to move or pressure my wrist and wear the wrist support for 3 weeks. In between, I need to go to back to do ultrasound in physiotherapy at least 3 times a week and see Doctor Saiful after 3 weeks time. Hopefully I will be fully recovered after that.

This is me with my wrist support..

I realised that there are so many people care about me in this world.. Thanks for your concern, caring & love! ❤
