Vietnamese food for dinner

sometimes, you had too much of outside food you don't know how to decide for meals...

then again, you're so bored of homecooked food that you wanna break , so you head out to god-knows-where in the quest for food...

as usual, Malaysians can be quite indecisive when it comes to food because we had loads of choices >> Japanese, Chinese, Malay, Indian, Mamak (Malay-Indian) , Vietnamese, and now Indonesian food has even hit our shores... grrrr.... no wonder Malaysians are well-fed ...


food hunt begins 30 mins ago...

30 mins later.... settled down at this place for a try...

frankly, i'm no fan for Vietnamese food. no idea what's it like or how to eat it T___T
so, we muka tembok... (thick-skinned) and went to question that poor dude...





colourful wall mural... enticing your appetite to demand for more...

do you know if a place is brightly painted, it's done so for a purpose to trigger one's psychological effect  in order for them to eat more in a happier mood .... must be true lor... since when fine dining is done in a brightly lit place ????

digressing...

the Vietnamese loves their raw tauge... --sprouts-- with their dishes....

i hate raw tauge... but i tried...

and

.
.
.
it doesn't taste THAT BAD !!!!
in fact, those sprouty annoying vege blends with their dishes very well indeed... me surprised !!!!~~

so pandai!!





everything inside a bowl... (steak, flanks, briskets, tendons, ...etc etc) (RM 18.55 for Large)
verdict: just lotsa meat... in generous amount. *burps...





beef stew : very thick gravy. can be eaten with rice, noodle or bread. me likey... (RM 13.95 for Regular)





top right: sugar cane prawn (RM 7.95)

bottom right : fried roll (RM 3.95)

OK, the Vietnamese has different sauces for different dishes.... and each sauce compliments the dishes --perfectly...  i donno how to describe... but you know like pink never goes with black those sorta thing ??? and is always best suited with white ?





i love that red bottle of chili.... this chilli is not your average chili sauce in the bottle. i think they made it... spicy... but it won't kill those with low-tolerance... nais~





my favs : Avocado Nata Cream *yumz (RM 7.95)



this is reallllyyyy good.... the best one i'd had !! amongst others .... i love this the most...




Viet's fehmouz dripping coffee.... must try ~





right: coffee with milk (hot) (RM 5.95)



coffee with milk and ICE (price: ditto)



we ate till we're so bloated and can hardly walk... bad for health, good indulgence, great satisfaction *thumbs up



finally home sweet home for an unhealthy good night's rest ~baibai // 99

Langkawi (Part Uno)

the land of eagles. 





no, no this iz no eagle. this iz air asia... the cheaper way to travel if you got no wings...





supposedly our grad trip.





windy... hence, distorted bangs... chopped it off just for this trip. ngek ngek 

you know what the old folks' used to say that do not celeb anything b4 you have achieved that thing ?
i think this jinx had befallen on me T_____________T
 i can't really say it loud now but if all things go well than i shall share my bad encounters and most importantly, how i got over it .... *chants hard*

just foreshadowing what is coming up next in part 2, er, dua, two, dos...

besides, by now, i still have yet to receive the rest of the photos from all my friends.
can't wait... because i was too lazy to use my cam despite how much i bragged about the photos taken... *self pride-fml *

Fruit Punch (RM7 i oso think)

Sunday's ambiance is even better at night... other pics later...** we went here for 2nd time...

btw, langkawi eateries are pretty pricey... being a local we know how much are the rates for food & beverages, if they are considered exorbitant. but if you're a genius.. and travel savvy you can earn more than you lose, esp in terms of food =)

next stop, Kuah town after the arrival of others.



for duty free shopping !!!!

one bottle of beer is like RM 3.9 for hoegarrden ? and pricing in kl/pj is RM 9.9 or more? fol for us who lives in big cities and not langkawi T____T again ~~

??? hotel...

RM 135 per night ...and it doesn't seem bad right ....

Vanilla @ Kajang

cafe and cakes haven ...



price for cakes at RM 6.5

tad pricey for the size if compared to Secret Recipe but it's worth the try ...

they have various choices of hot drinks and even sandwiches!!! yumz.... 

i haven't tried other flavours but currently i'm craving for the shop's speciality --> Vanilla Cake 



heavenly good



lookie at the .. the... the ... layers!!! thick thick richie rich layers of vanilla...

if you love vanilla this is a must-try cake... if you don't ... just try it anyways, it won't kill you... really it's yummy =)

btw, it's located @ the heart of Kajang town, Selangor.
opposite of McDonald's.... there's only one McD in Kajang town...

Vanilla bakery caters for full-sized cakes (for your occasions <3)...
regarding delivery. don't think they have one =P

but if you're really a cake lover or foodie enthusiasts,

come on down ~

p/s: just a 40 mins drive (depending on your speed) to Kajang. still closer than your trip down to Ipoh for your bowl of hor fun... 

Biolyn

awhile ago, i've been raving about this new not-so-new product... specifically mask...



i've this thing for masks... esp ones where you can only use for once, because it's so easy to use and carry around.





it's produced in taiwan. many said its efficiency is proven wor...

when you're travelling you can't bring your whole tube of mask esp if it exceeds the hand-carry airport requirements (nono for above 100ml)

use this one piece 'instant' mask... put on your face, leave it for 15 mins- 20 mins, massage the remaining essence, and you're off to go =)



I've tried the purifying acne mask... and now, i'm gonna try green tea RELAXING mask, to see how relaxing it is....

VERDICT:

it's relaxing. lotsa essence just like the previous one i tried. so much you can slather it for 3 times.
this mask actually smells like green tea. the name promises the quality. no cheat.

after using this mask, i can feel that my skin complexion improved. fresher feeling. cleaner. more purified.


best part is, not only it comes in one flavour according to your skin conditions. but there's also a box which comprises of 6 types for you to try out b4 you decide which is best for you...



awesome-rific...
so awesome that you should....

remember this label ....


RM 23.4 (promo price) <-- so worthy you can cry with joy..

BTW, I'm not being paid / sponsored  or bribed with this product. so i don't need to brag so much about it. don't believe it? try it for yourself.

baibai~~
