Marmalade, Bangsar Village 2

It was a saturday morning and we were hunting for brunch!
Too hungry to venture too far so went to Marmalade at BV2.
Reached BV2 a bit too early as the place opens at 10am and we were there before 10am.

The interior as cosy as always!

These were the food and beverage we ordered:
1. Smoked salmon breakkie
2. Egg breakkie
3. Hot chocolate


Reading magazinesfrom the restaurant's magazine corner
 while waiting for breakfast to be served..

The smoked salmon breakkie is my favourite order whenever I come to this place! I always vowed to try something new the next time I step into Marmalade, but I never succeeded in doing so because this is really good! It is served with eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce.. slurps. They finished the top with blanched spinach.. awesome wholesome taste :)


Smoked Salmon Brekkie. I think it is caleld Benny Breakkie.


This is S's breakfast. I love the succulent and juicy mushrooms!!!! Never get enough of those! Looks like a normal english breakfast from the photo, but the egg was really fluffy and tastes good too!




This was the hot chocolate we ordered.. very concentrated but I like it this way!




If you have not had brunch at Marmalade already, do make your way here a.s.a.p! Always loved this place for brunch!

Artisan at Section 13

Hi hi,

It was a Thursday when we got a wee bit tired of our usual lunch spots, so we decided to venture to Artisan Roast Coffee. It is just a few roads behind where I work, so no sweat locating the place with the help of my colleague M :)

To be honest, I am not a coffee aficianado, so I was just looking forward to their lunch menu.
These are all the meal I can remember:
1. Carbonara (approx RM10)
2. Aglio Olio (approx RM10)
3. Big breakfast set
4. Add sausage (approx rm3)
5. Add meatballs
6. Bottled juice (approx rm7)
7. Coffee and pastries


Carbonara was good! They serve in this fancy paper cup which was quite an interesting "concept". Looks small but the portion is actually quite sufficient.

The aglio olio (no photos) my colleagues ordered tasted very good too! Slightly spicy, but the taste was very unique and worth a try!

I heard the coffee here is good too so if you guys love coffee do make your way here.

Fugu, Damansara Jaya

Hello!

This post is "fresh from the oven" as I just dined at this restaurant last night!

The initial plan was to have a steamboat dinner at Two Pesos, SS2.. but! The moment we parked the car and walked to Two Pesos, there was already a long queue out of nowhere! And it was just around 6.15pm. Hmmm, will come earlier to try two pesos next time!

So, after much thought and after wasting much petrol, we decided to have japanese cuisine. So we settled with somewhere nearby.. Fugu at Damansara Jaya!

S had been here once with his colleague like 3 years ago (wow!) and he said the food here is fresh and recommended. No photo of the facade (sorry again!), but the following are what we ordered:

1. Udon in nice soup base
2. Smoked duck rice set
3. Hot Ocha (green tea)





S said the Udon tastes good, especially the soup!

His udon (RM18++)


Mine was a smoked duck with rice! Very very delicious! The smoked duck was appetising and I did not stop eating until I finished the whole bowl of rice.

The set comes with a miso soup, an appetiser, chawan mushi and fruits! The chawan mushi was really awesome, the dashi sauce was tastefully tuned so that it did not taste too overwhelming.

Smoked duck set (rm28)!!

Closer snapshot of the delicious smoked duck!

All in all...

Serai at Jaya Shopping Centre




Went to Serai on a weekday night with family.
Was tired from work but the day changed after having a very appetising and satisfying dinner at this malay-thai fusion restaurant!

Normally, most diners who come to Serai would order their infamous nasi kerabu and nasi lemak. I have tried those before (refer older posts). This time mother felt more adventurous and ordered dishes to go with rice. Ok, before I go into the dishes we ordered here are the beverages we ordered:Air Bandung and Sirap Selasih. Both drinks were equally good and not too sweet :)


Bandung Sirap (nice!)

Sirap Selasih (refreshing!)
Following are the dishes we ordered to go with rice: steamed lime siakap, ayam percik, and one stir fried kailan(no pic sorry).

The steamed lime siakap was very very good and highly recommended! A must-try! The soup/ gravy is sour with slight spiciness, making the dish very very appetising! Tastes similar to tomyum but with a less degree of spiciness and whatmore, the fish they served was very fresh as well!


Steam lime fish. Recommended!
 The ayam percik tastes good too..

Ayam percik...
Apologise, no photo of the kailan because (it is just kailan) but it was cooked nicely like any good premium chinese restaurants would have served their vege..

OK, signing off now.
Night.


Valentino Rudy


Hi readers, trying to break the silence here.. found a photo of my white heels from my favourite brand~ Valentino Rudy!

Why I love this brand:

1. Super comfy- I do not purchase/ wear anything that requires me to compromise my comfort! Sure stillettos and killer heels will boost confidence but I would still stick to lower heels for the sake of maintaining comfort.

2. Style and design- Personally, I feel the design does flatter my feet so they may look good when you wear them too!

3. For all occasions- Formal office wear, shopping, meetings (except for sports of course).

OK, next round I'll be sure to post on food!

Pending posts: S.Wine, DuckKing, Salon Du Chocolat, Cinnamon coffee house at One World Hotel, Big Apple at Berjaya Times Square, breakfast at Coliseum, breakfast at Marmalade BV, and many more!
