Should I continue?

 Hello everyone!


Can't believe that it has been 12 years since my last post! I was pregnant when the last post was written and now, my daughter is almost 12 years old!


I am now a homemaker and still enjoying my travels, especially during school holidays. But as everyone now know, there's Covid-19 and most travels are halted.


This is why I'm much freer these days. And I do wonder if I should get back to blogging... It is no longer as popular now as it used to be. There Instagram, tiktok, discord, etc...


So, should I continue? Or not?

Absenteeism

Pardon my absence, I'm not fit to write this month. I will hope to return in May, if possible. In the mean time, do check the links on the right side.

Truly,

Eating out: Chakri Xpress



Chakri Xpress is located in Alamanda Shopping Center in Putrajaya. I was there today with my folks for lunch.


Por Pia Savoey, RM9.90

I ordered the deep fried vegetable spring roll. It has very little vegetables in it and it's not crispy at all.


Tom Yam Gai, RM7.50

This is another disappointment. The clear tom yam soup is bland. It is not spicy nor soury.


Omelet, RM15.90

Nothing special about the omelet. A little oily and still has bits of egg shell in it.


Green Curry Chicken, RM15.90

I find that the green curry is not thick enough, more watery compared to other Thai restaurant. The taste is rather acceptable.


Khow Phad Pattaya, RM15.90

I had the Pattaya Fried Rice. I can find better cooking elsewhere. Also, it tasted more on the sweet side.

Overall, the food is disappointing. Good Evening Bangkok and Sri Ayutthaya still serve authentic Thai food. However, if you're on the move and in need of Thai food, Chakri Xpress fits the bill.

Eating out: Tony Roma's


Onion Loaf (Half), RM12.90

We ordered an onion loaf for sharing. It tasted pretty good but still we could not finish it. And there were 8 of us!


Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, RM18.90

The fries was really good. But can't say the same for the fried chicken. Quite disappointing.


Rosemary Chicken, RM31.90

The western style chicken rice. Not sure how it tasted like but Gan managed to finish the chicken. I guess it was acceptable.



We took photos before meal time. Also, we were waiting for the arrival of the star! :p



Here comes the star of the day! Shally and Mr P will be here for a week but only had hours to spare. How generous :/



Us with our partners :)



Nonetheless, everyone felt pleasant to be able to meet up. I hope the next time won't be far from now ;)

Eating out: Pasta Zanmai



My cousin Jessica dropped by for a short visit. The next day, we went to Midvalley for a movie. Afterwards, it was lunch time. I picked Pasta Zanmai as she has never been there.



This is Jessica holding onto our pasta.



With my own pasta.


Agedashi Tofu, RM9

I just love the smooth tofu and the sweet soy sauce. It's just like eating pudding!


Ebi Tempura Pasta in Sesame Sauce, RM26

Since this is her first time, I suggested the pasta in sesame sauce. This is different from the normal sauce and it's very Japanese. I'd recommend this for all first-timers out there.


Tori Kinoko Pasta in Cream Sauce, RM19

This tasted like Carbonara but minus the cheesey flavor and it is very creamy too. There were too much chicken and I couldn't finish it. The mushroom goes really well with the sauce.

Eating out: The Lakehouse Hotel & Restaurant



The Lakehouse Hotel & Restaurant is located about 5-10 minutes from Ringlet, Cameron Highlands. This English concept hotel houses 17 rooms and a honeymoon suite. We were there for dinner with our relatives.



You definitely won't miss this hotel as you drive upto Tanah Rata and Brinchang.



In this hotel, you cannot find television set nor wifi. This is absolutely for those who wants to rest and relax.



This is the lounge where we sip our beverages and chat the night away.



Also, you won't find lift in this hotel. You gotta use the staircase to reach your room.


Prawn & Mango Salad in Honey Mustard Dressing, RM24

I ordered a salad as I have not green vegetables the whole day! The dressing is good, however, it became very watery as I about to finish the plate.


Rack of Lamb in Blueberries Sauce, RM72

I have not tried blueberries sauce that goes with lamb. This is something unique, but in a good way. The lamb, though, is about too well-done. Portion is just nice for one.


Garlic Sauce Beef Fillet, RM62

Mom ordered the beef fillet in garlic sauce. She didn't finish it coz she's not much of a beef fan, haha. It was alright, portion is just nice for one too.


Black Pepper Sirloin Steak, RM72

Dad opted the sirloin steak in black pepper sauce. The portion is big and he couldn't finish it. He said that nothing special about the sirloin too.


Snapper

Relative A had the snapper. I don't know how much is this though. Either it's RM60 or RM52.


Grilled Salmon

Relative B had the grilled salmon. Again, this is either RM60 or RM52. I guess the salmon wasn't really nice, coz she didn't finish hers.
