Food: Dimsum @ Damansara Jaya.


2009
10.01

So many things to eat. Don’t know what to eat.

We woke up the other day, looking at each other, thinking  of what to eat. Ain’t we Malaysian have a good life?

Hubby Panda told me that there was a Dim Sum Restaurant at Damansara Jaya that served a very good DimSum and people had been queing up for the sake of it. So, we went there to have a try last week before drove home to Sitiawan for brother’s wedding.

When we reached the restaurant, =_=” yes, I was under-dressed. With a pink colour sleeveless top and a jeans short pants, I was a bit reluctant to walk in the restaurant. But, at last, I gave in. As what I wanted was to eat the well promoted dimsum afterall.

But, when I looked around the restaurant, I could see the people around me was really dressed up, as if dining in a 5 star Hotel. paiseh..Who cares.. With my pinky shirt and my short pants, I still walked around the restaurant taking picture. >_<  But, there were not so much people as claimed probaby was because it was Friday, a working day.

Ordering counter.. What we need to do was to point to whatever we want and the waiter will bring the food to the table. But, of course they do have a menu to select whatever we want from the table.

Overall, the food was good. And, we can expect a cleaner and healthier version of Dim Sum here. And, of couse damage done to the wallet will be higher too. lol.

Baking with Clumsypanda..

I used to feel baking cake needs a lot of time and more costly than buy a whole cake from shop..

But, not anymore..

And, I truly enjoy baking cake now. It is as easy as ABC. Even kids know how to bake. But, careful on the after mess..

Ok. What I need to do is to:-

a) Buy a cake from the cake shop and tell eveyone that I AM the one baking it. (OK.. Lousy idea k)

What I really need to do is to get a ready cake powder mixture from the bakery shop. And, it was cheap.  They do sell various types of ready mixture such as butter cake (I like most), chocolate cake, sponge cake, muffin and etc..

Other than that, I just need to get ready butter or milk depending on the type of cake that I will be baking.

And, the results will be 99.9% success. I would leave the 0.1% for those who are not suppose to bake at all. lol.. (So lc)

I baked Moist Chocolate Cake last week when I was not working and the end result was good.

Thanks my colleague Yati for allowing me to have her Ready Mixed powder as I had no time to go to the bakery shop. (Or to be exact lazy) :P

The onpack methods were as below:-

Ingredients:-

A. 170 grams butter

B. 270 grams fine granulated sugar

C. 3 eggs

D. 270 ml fresh milk

E. 1 packet MOIST CHOCOLATE MIX

Method

1. Cream A and B until flight and fluffy.

2. Add eggs one at a time and cream until well combined.

3. Slowly add in E alternatively with D till well combined.

4. Pour mixture into a greased and lightly floured 9″ round baking pan.

5. Bake at 180 C for 50 minutes.

and, tadah..

Thanks for those who help me eat the cake. FYI, I HATE CHOCOLATE CAKE!! blah!!

Lunch @ Boston..

Ya. I was having my lunch at Boston. Cannot meh?

But, not really at Boston, US. I wish.. i really wish it was there.. But, knock.. knock..back to reality clumsypanda.

At least I found a new place to hang out in the future. Boston Chill Out. A quite  new restaurant located at 32square, Section 19 PJ. (In front of Toyota Centre.)

boston-(2)

I went there for lunch today together with Miko. As we wanna tried a new eating place.

Initially, I thought it was a pub. And was like “huh.. we gonna have lunch at pub. cool man” But, other than beer/ hard liquor, they did serve variety of food from Chinese Food to Western Food (with funny funny name)..

The decoration of the restaurant was really impressived. Combination of wooden and stones, with craving of trees and flowers on the wood. Nice. And, nice songs too. I liked it best with their seating arrangement. It was like I was hanging a “Do not Disturb” sign beside my table and then, had my own privacy there.

Privacy- That’s what I need now. It’s a place for me to relax when too much noise been loitered around my brain. I need some quiet time. yes.. quiet.

boston-(3)

How I wish it was not working hour. WTH!! One hour lunch break was too short for me to relax here. It was when Miko joked that we ordered beer to drink. Yeah.. yea.. how I wished too.. BUT, IT WAS A WORKING HOUR..

The food that we ordered.. ( They needed to improve on the serving time)

C’est La Vie

It was a serving of rice with fish and fried egg..

boston-(12)

Volcano Eruption-Rice, Squid, mussle, prawn and popiah

boston-(10)

Now I know why it was named Volcano Eruption. . I was wiping my tears when I ate this. It was so spicy.

boston-(5)

Ice Milk Coffee- No choice lor. It was working hour mah…

Total Bill = RM38.30 only

Overall, eventhough I was dissapointed with the Volcano Eruption, I will definitely go again to try their other food. I just like the ambience. And, I guess it was best to go for dinner when I am not rushing for time. When I could really sit down and enjoy.

oooooo… GARDENIA…

The other day

Me: I want eat Butterscotch

Hubby Panda: What is Butterscotch

Me: It’s a Gardenia Bread. My colleagues say very good.

Hubby Panda: Where to buy?

Me: I don’t know. Colleague always chase Gardenia Van Driver. Shop difficult to get.

Hubby Panda: ??!!!!

Phone Conversation ..

Hubby Panda: I managed to get the Gardenia’s van salesman. But, he say no Butterscotch.

Me: Why?

Hubby Panda: Cause he say only Sunday, Monday & Thursday got Butterscotch.

Me: Ok lo…

gardenia

The Gardenia Van that Hubby Panda “chased”.. He captured the photo after he asked the sales man.. lol

The next day while working, I received MMS from Hubby Panda. Title “Ke ke ke” with the below picture..

 gardenia-(1)

Jealous at that moment. Cause Hubby Panda ate it earlier than me. He bought 2 loaves. One for his office colleagues and one for me. And, I have to wait till after work. :(

But, itellu, see the packaging? It wrote there really, really, really GOOD!!!…  And, it was indeed really really really good. Rich with butter taste, smell superb, soft and so good .. you can even eat it on its own. (RM4/loaf)

In actual, it was my youngest brother graduation day yesterday. Too bad. I cant attend his convocation. :( Due to my frequent absent from office nowadays because of MC and mid year holiday. So, I better keep a low profile at the moment.  

150809-(8)

Smart right?

Anyhow, we had a dinner celebration yesterday at Klang- Sekinchan Restaurant. Yeap. You heard me right. It was a Klang, not in Sekinchan. The real Sekinchan, located at Sabak Bernam- is well known for their seafood also. I kinda miss the crab mee which I had at Sekinchan many many years ago.. Drooling when I think of it. As it was the best crab mee I tasted so far. Gonna plan my trip there again on my next trip back to home town.

150809-(32)

Crab egg.. (So so nice)

Overall, I kinda find the food was normal EXCEPT FOR THE CRAB (it was DELICIOUS) and the price was reasonable. I don’t quite sure the place location but, it is beside Klang famous Yu Yu Ping (Yu yu ice). Gonna go back for the crab again next time.

Happy Graduation Day, Brother!!
