Just some of the stuff i’ve been scoffing of late. I just want to write about food, really. I LOVE talking about food! Since i’m back to a (soddof) freelance mode, i spend some mornings in my apartment and need to eat breakfast cos i honestly can’t survive till lunch.

I’ve started eating organic cereal and milk with psyllium husks sprinkled on top. The first time Tianna gave me a vacuumed pack of these husks, i thought it was a sponge to bathe with. Some people have them in their juice but it makes me pukey drinking gloopy stuff so i chomp on it with cereal instead. I’ve been rotating between almond and hazelnut milk (thanks to Yishyene raving to me about it). Hazelnut is sweeter, but i love the taste of almonds so i sometimes drink it… for fun. A few weekends ago, we decided to just chill at home and i found myself drinking almond milk on the sofa on a Saturday night. Felt a bit lame but i felt good MORE.

Went for weekend briyani at Fierce Curry House with the sotongs. Cammy and i wanted to sit in the air conditioned area but the two french guys wanted to sit outside in the heat…White people. Always hate aircon. There was once my colleagues and i were preparing the meeting room for some Europeans and they turned the aircon up high. I said, “You better put it on low… white people hate air con.” They didn’t heed my words. One hour later when the clients were in, we were asked to ‘please switch off the air con’ altogether. SEE.

I eat at Fat Spoon once a week. Sometimes when i’m in between meetings and can’t find someone to have lunch with last minute, i pop into Fat Spoon ‘cos Chelle will always be there. It’s like my second home 😀

I have a habit of always ordering either ‘Fat Spoon noodles with less koay teow’ or ‘spicy beef soup but replace macaroni with nissin noodles’ (yeah i edit all my orders). For once, i tried the sampan noodles pictured above. This might make it to my regular list now.

Clem is obsessed with English breakfasts. He’s tried lots of places in KL and swears by Jarrod & Rawlins‘. Our usual habit is for him to takeaway his breakfast, and me to takeaway my Asian one (cos i always want laksa or chili pan mee) and we eat at home together. On a rare occasion, we went to J&R together and i ended up ordering… a gourmet version of chili pan mee for RM27 -.-

I’ve been dropping by Mezza9 since May this year. Two of my friends Keith and Ken own it, which was the first reason i went to check it out. After that, it didn’t take much convincing to go regularly cos their food is good (chef was formerly at starhill), i love the interior (especially the lamps) and they’ve got some crazy drink promos everyday (like RM50 for wine buffet on Saturdays!). Every time i go there for dinner i usually spend around RM80 (including 2x wine or more!). I love the ox tail tapas (above) and the prawn pasta (below).

Clem and i went to try having dinner at French restaurant Topshelf in TTDI. It’s quite casual and prices are low/reasonable. I’ve been there for drinks and had the mussels in white wine which i didn’t like… so i didn’t go back for awhile. Then we heard some good things about it again so off we went.

Clem started off with the salmon ravioli. It was pretty superb. The sauce was very flavourful. I’m gonna order this for myself next time cos i just got a tiny try huh.

Then he had the bœuf bourguignon for his main, which he claims tastes like the real thing in France.

I started off with escargots. Had lots of garlic and butter on it – was great.

Then i had the vongole and felt so SAD cos i found it bland. I’m a self-proclaimed expert at vongole… it’s one of my favourite dishes and i order it everywhere i go (all over KL, Italy, France, NYC) so i think i know what a good vongole is. Anyway, everything else we had was really good so i just conclude that their white wine-based dishes are something i’d avoid from now on. I heard their bouillabaisse is wonderful, so i’m gonna order that next time!

Creme brûlée – i think two people can share it but Clem thinks otherwise. Greedy thing.

Oh. A picture of roti planta, cos i almost never eat mamak food… haha. I ate SO MUCH mamak food when i was a (broke) college kid that once i started earning money, i never really wanted to eat it again. I had an early morning meeting last week, and was SO paranoid i’d be late that i ended up being 40 minutes early -.- So i waited in a mamak and got some breakfast. I must say… roti planta was soooooo gooooood! Some super healthy friends were freaking the frog out when they saw it on instagram 😀

Ok food diary habis!
