RED BEAN BAG & COFFEE STAIN


If you're a close friend or an avid reader of mine, you'd probably know that I have this huge crazy obsession over gastronomic delights! I was so lucky that VoonW brought me out to hunt down some good eats at Publika, Solaris Dutamas just yesterday afternoon.
 yay I just love food hunting and discovering new places!

We came all the way here just to try out The Red BeanBag cuz we've been reading a lot of good reviews so we decided to give it a try!

=Red Beanbag is a beautifully furnished, cozy restaurant that’s aptly named after the bean bags that hand on the walls, filled to the brim and labelled accordingly with words like “play”, “freedom”, “passion”, and “wit”. Definitely a very inspiring restaurant to dine at. There are nice booth couch seats by the windows as well as regular dining tables.= taken from google


These are the bean bags imprinted with words hanging on the wall as decorations.
 The food menu was surprisingly quite limited. There is actually two sides as shown in the pictures above, Light and Dark. Since we're here for lunch, we picked some from the dark side. In fact, we're actually blank when it comes to food ordering. In the end we just ordered anything that sounds promising and good!

We knew we're going for coffee after lunch so plain water will do.

 FOWL LUCK
This is just irresistable. The taste of it still linger up till this moment!!
SIGNATURE BAKED EGGS
This one is good too, with eggs cracked into a bowl of lamb, chicken, beef bratswurst , potatoes topped with mozzarella cheese baked to perfection. Served with crunchy toast
MY CRUSTACEAN COUSIN 
This is one of the signature dish but I guess it is not for us. But one thing you ought to know is that their pastas are made from scratch. 


Overall the food was scrumptious! and I think we ordered a bit too much but glad that we gobbled up almost everything except for the pasta. You had no idea how full I was yesterday. so here's a lil story abt my meals consuming ytd, I had Nasi Lemak with sambal chicken in the morning as breakfast and then abt 2 hrs later, I had this brunch with momma since she already cooked some food. I guess I better eat with her cuz no one else will be eating and there'll be many leftovers. and then you're right about an hour later, tadaaa eating again with VoonW at RBB. 


What's more insane is we had coffee after lunch! We're searching high and low for this particular shop named Coffee Stain by Joseph and thanks God we found it. It is just located a few foot away from Coffee Societe. My next visit will be Coffee Societte, hopefully.

 Look at the map, how creative?
 Coffee of the day : Cappucino. 

 Mocha x Cappucino

I'm not very sure about the taste, but for me it taste OK since I'm not very finicky when it comes to coffee
w/ my best girl VoonW, the one who make most appearance in my blog haha if you ever realize.


Can't wait to explore more good eats in the future! It's a good experience indeed. 


*not sure why but there's a lot of lorries, trucks and heavy vehicles along the high way which kinda pissed us off for blocking our way haha. AND I'm so smart to stumble onto this pipe hose thingy when we're walking and there it goes, popped a big bump of blue black on my left leg!! urghhh 




anyway, HAPPY FRIDAY!!

MOVIE DATE

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had a movie date with my favourite girls VoonW and Hoyan yesterday. And again thanks to the lovely girls for picking me up from my place and here we go to Paradigm Mall! I guess it is the nearest mall from our residential area as the journey only took us for 18 minutes (according to the GPS)


The mall was relatively quiet when we arrived. That's a good thing cuz less hassle to find a strategic lot to park. Besides, it's a good chance to wander around the mall without being drenched in the crowd.


After we got our tix, we headed to Plan B for breakfast. Plan B would placed among my favourites if I would like to recommend a decent and casual place to dine in, price at plausible range, definitely worth the pennies considering the mouth-watering food and cozy environment provided.


Complimentary sky juice provided.
 Hoyan's mushroom soup. She said it was nice! 
 VoonW and I both had the signature dish in PlanB. Eggs Benedicts. It was undoubtedly delectable. To our surprise, the portion fits our stomach perfectly. Initially I thought it would be quite small.
 My flat white that comes along with a nut cracker. 
 VoonW's mocha on the right.
 Hoyan's Iced Tea



I am proud to say that I managed to wolf down everything by my own but not the two girls. Y'know FOOD WASTAGE. Why not you think about the kids in the Africa and you'll feel guilt-ridden. Haha alright just kidding.Gotta admit that we're all so bloated after the meal.



Then it's time for the long waited and highly anticipated movie - FAST & FURIOUS 6!
Goddamn this is one of the best movies I've ever watched. This is beyond awesome! YOU MUST CATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU HAVEN'T . I think VoonW sorta went crazy after Vin Diesel (Toretto, male lead in the movie)  Mehhh I like Tom Cruise better .


What's more after a movie? Lunch la! and again everytime I hang out with my friends, this problem repeated over and over again. We had a hard time to choose for lunch. It took us so long, we basically walked around the entire building already and can't decided.


Sushi Zanmai was our last pick. My pick actually. *behindstories*
I guess everyone must have heard of this Japanese Sushi restaurant that offers vast arrays of scrumptious sushi(s) and Japanese cuisine at a wallet-friendly prices. 
Hot Ocha for everyone.
 Inari Kanimayo Yaki.  The must eat sushi everytime we visit.
Soft Shell Crab Maki The cannot miss out sushi 
Mini California Maki
Chicken Gyoza
VoonW's Chawanmushi 


Save some space in our tummy for desserts! This round we opted for Hokkaido Ice Cream. 
The ice-cream looks pretty promising but actually not. Baskin Robbins is even cheaper and tastier. Some more the scoop is quite small compare to other ice-cream stalls 

I had Lavender and Macha. 



After you've seen all the food pictures, you must have missed our face. How can we not taking selfie when there is three girls hanging out together? 

well selca is never my forte, so let the girls handle it. I guess this is our best picture. 

Take 10000000 pictures but only upload one #girlsbeinggirls



I only had few pictures to choose because Hoyan freaking deleted most of the pics that she claimed to be too-ugly-to-be-seen. -____-


It was really nice to hang out with them. The atmosphere was smooth and there is not a sense of discomfiture. We had a great time chatting about each others' recent life and of course something's unavoidable : GOSSIP .


Overall I had a fruitful day with these girls and it's never a bad time to catch up with 'em

MAMA's Day

Hello everyone! Hereby to greet all the great moms in the world a Happy Mother's Day!


my so called "big project" for the queen in the house


Apparently this is a special blog post dedicated to my not so typical affable mother. If you asked me to describe her, I would rather say she is FIERCE, STRICT, FEROCIOUS & SHORT FUSE. I know this all sounds so negative but I would say this is all for my own good. If she hadn't been so strict towards me, I guess I won't be who I am and what I stand now.

Despite all these years, being almost grown, I still try to hide or run whenever I hear full name yelled by my mum. It's really scary tho. Because of all her strong and hard personalities, Dad who always showers me with loads of love is my all time most favourite person on earth. But after he had left, I can see my mum slowly transforming into a better person.(she is a great mum but used to be easily angered)


As I mentioned above, her temper is really bad. There was once where my friend was in my room and she just kicked the door and fcking yelled at me. I was very angry about her because she never ever thought that her daughter still requires the reputation to survive among her peers. Honestly, I was terrified and pissed off  by her inconsiderate act. But now, we're both making an effort to foster a better relationship between us.


Blood is thicker than water, so they said. Because no matter what age am I, I still miss my mom, I still want her to take care of me. I've already lost one, and I know I had to appreciate her to the maximum. After all, family is our guardian angles, the one who will always stand by your side and pick you up when u hit bottom rock.


Being the financial support in the house, who has been working hard to fend for my fees and monthly expenditure, keeping the house spick and span, making me the best home cook dishes.. her countless sacrifice, as a daughter I have more than a life time to pay back, seriously.


As for what I can do now is to practice filial piety, be an obedient daughter, take care of myself well, create less trouble ,study hard and make her to be proud of me. I also felt a pang of guilt when I recalls back myself being such a sassy daughter to her. okay now I'm trying to be good(my best phrase to mom & Lcd haha)


I think I made the ugliest card on earth -.-'' 
pardon me for the not so artistic card mum, I know you love it hehe
Also got to buy the reload coupon for her mobile and a lunch treat :)

When I handed over the card, she asked me : Why you draw me with curly hair? lol 




Last but not least
I want to render an apology for all the mistakes I've done and thanks for bringing me to this world. 
Love you to the moon and back
Mama Lee


永远爱你 我的母亲大人




Sincerely,
your daughter



*why Mothers' Day always falls on exam period"? if not I can spend more quality time with her



HAVE A GREAT DAY WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL MOM.
