Valentine's day was a week ago and I actually went out with Darling 2 days before to the real day to some sort celebrate the occasion. But I just felt like a normal outing that day and did nothing special. Even the food was nothing in spectacular. I had already blogged about this in the previous few post. So last Saturday darling came to take me out for a replacement celebration. Eventhough we just had lunch and dinner and walked around in Bangsar, I felt "Hing-bukh-keh" = happy..
Because I loved the Food, the Concept of dining and the Company. And on top of that, I tried something new and different. It was a last minute plan because darling asked me out 2 hours before we met. So I had 2 hours to browse for nice place to dine for lunch and for dinner and also get ready for my date =)
Haizz.. thinking back now, I felt so stupid being so stressed up and emo due to the current school work load and being alone for the entire weekend. Thank God darling came to the rescue. After much consideration, I have selected a few choices to go for lunch. One is Poco Homemade and the other which I must and had been wanting to go is Levain. But Levain is more of a Bakery/Patisserie Cafe. Well, they also serve spaghetti and sandwiches but I don't know if darling like that idea. So I just thought of going there to see the place and buy some bread and macarons. But darling said he prefer eating bread and all.. I was a bit shocked but relieved also cause it made everything easier. =) He knew me best.
This bakery cafe thing is really a nice concept and it will be suitable for people who are not looking forward to heavy meals. But the best would be to dine in on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Have brunch there and relax and chat with friends or something. Honestly speaking when I first tried to bake on my own attempt, I felt that it was quite enjoyable and I thought of a new idea for my future cafe. Before I heard about Levain I never knew that there's this Patisserie cafe concept anywhere in Malaysia. So I pandai pandai day-dreaming there thinking about how my future cafe would be like. I even thought of the menu somemore. Plus I already have a name for my cafe.. The Tea-Breakers... hahaha.. dun laugh ok.. I'm not saying that this day-dream thing gonna come true but if it does, I would try to do smtg about it. So dun steal my name. LOLS. Well, I think there would be a 90% chance that it's not gonna happen =( .. One more funny incident. I had a dream one day of eating famous fruit tart/cookie from a bakery called Manhattan Biscotti. I woke up and start searching for that name.. and nothing matched. Haha.. Dreams are not always a sign. It was just a dream.
Ok.. long story short. Just see the pictures k. Sorry some pictures are not in chronological order because I'm too busy to arrange them and no captions for most pictures because I hardly remember the food's name. And I dunno why.. there's something wrong with blogger. All my pictures are messy and some are defected. Haiz..
Fukuya is a Japanese restaurant I think. It's just beside Levain
This is our Lunch
the crust is very sweet and it makes a nice dessert
the topping is omg.. soo yummy
but the baguette is a little too hard, eventhough it was suppose to be hard @.@
chicken curry puff.. the filling is really nice but it would be even nicer if it was steaming hot
this one is also nice
the bread is soo soft larr
sorry couple
I just want the surrounding picture
Cappuccino
Hello ♥
even the curtain has some French feel to it
almost perfect Bun
Corrected by my cousin Carmen
It's macaron and not macaroon
they are both different
you can google for the differences
this is a very nice macro shot of my macarons
one of the buns bought for darling to bring home
For dinner, we went to Smokehouse in Bangsar. The interior and decorations are based on an English home concept. Looks nice.. They serve Western and Thai cuisines.
Haiz.. sorry bout the pictures.. I dunno how come it came out like that. All my arrangements all gone haywire.
Darling's Thai Fried Rice with shrimps
it was not tasteful enough
not what I expected
hmmm
Thai appetizer
similar to Chinese dumpling "Kauzhi"
but taste totally different
the skin is too thick n tasteless and the filing is not meat
it's groudnuts which was chewy
Lamb shank.. the meat was very soft and tender.. Would give a 10 for the meat
but overall.. maybe a 9 rating
this is an example of a cacat photo which I dunno what happened to it after being uploaded
Ok.. so tired d.. and the cacat photos are spoiling my mood.
