For Him

And For The Lady

Don’t misunderstand, it’s not for my wedding, it’s for RY’s colleague.

This is my first time trying on creating wedding cupcakes, I’m actually feeling quite stressed about it. The theme is purple with certain kind of criteria for the cupcakes. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been gradually stocking up on cake items to make these cupcakes. I’ve spent 3.5 hrs just on decorating the icing for the cupcakes, can u believe it or not, until 1130pm from 8pm. Even my parents are very supportive, they come around and have a look at my end results… ha ha…

On Saturday, after work I went with my friends to have Dim Sum at Ah Yat Abalone restaurant, Avenue K. Then I had to rush back, take the cupcakes, and deliver to the the client. Wow… the timing was so packed but I managed to pull through it. Thank God.

In my mind I kept on wondering what would she think of my cupcakes…

I got this sms:

Very nice Juleen d purple ones. I like! Thks.

It was such a relief and I’m very grateful to know. I get extra pocket money for my wedding prep

All I can remember from the “delayed” Shui Lin’s birthday celebration is a lot of foods and a lot of pork! So much food that I have to break yesterday’s event into 2 parts. Part 1 is about the “launching” of Shui Lin’s latest fashion, the E-diot cum birthday celebration at the Checkers, Damansara Height. Part 2 is our second round celebration at Vintry at Medan Damansara. I won’t be writing much though, because I realized pictures tell better story then me writing, so enjoy!

For her birthday, we gave Shui Lin three T-shirts all designed in-house. The main designers are TC and Calista…hahaha…the rest of the team which include myself are the opinion – givers…hehehe! It is still team work, okay!

Yeah, that is the “launching” of Shui Lin’s latest fashion, the E-diot…

See, how happy is Shui Lin. I think she is too ecstatic, that she got nothing to say but to dance…

Shui Lin with one of the designer, Ms. Calista Lee…

Now, you know you are “spaztial” to us, Shui Lin (hehe). Happy Belated Birthday, to you…

Let’s talk about the food at the Checkers. This is the first time I came about a restaurant that has no signboard but with extremely yummy food owned by two very “interesting” owners. You will know why later…

1. TC, the mastermind from the shirt design to the dinner and Calista…

2. Shui Lin, Hiew, Linda and KF, my clan master…

I have done some short research on the Checkers at Damansara Height. Some called the restaurant the “best kept secret in town”. I have to agree with that statement. This restaurant isn’t easy to locate and most interestingly, the restaurant doesn’t even have a sign board!!!

I thought sign board is the cheapest publicity for any business???

Even without a signboard, this place is full almost every evening (from what I heard). The seats in the restaurant is kinda limited also. If I am not mistaken, there are only maximum 15 “single” tables available in the restaurant. People normally go to the restaurant in a group, so I assumed the restaurant can fit maximum 5 groups only. Therefore, if you wanna dine at the Checkers, please book few days in advance…

Once you are there, follow this sequence… find the younger owner, talk some crap with him for a while, ask him what he has for the day other than in the menu, listen to his recommendation, order and wait for your food. After a while you will notice what’s so “interesting” about the owners. Checker have two owners, if I have not mistaken…

Next is the food… I am not a good commentator when comes to food. I have very limited vocabulary when come to describe food. But I can assure you, the food at Checkers are delicious (see what I mean) and they use the best ingredients for their food…

1. Grilled Expensive Mushroom and Grilled Tomato Soup…

2. Some Pasta (which I don’t remember the name) and Mexican Sausage…

3. Some Pasta (which I don’t remember the name) and the famous Lord of the Ribs (LOTR)…

TC, cutting the LOTR for us…

4. Stuffed Grilled Calamari (just don’t ask what is the filling) and Pork Chop…

5. The fat layer from the Pork Chop and Scampi with bread…

I hope the pictures have done a good job by showing to you how good is the food at Checkers. You already have the visual, what is lacking is the smell and the opportunity to taste. If you are interested to dine at the restaurant, I have already included a map and address to the restaurant. Book in advance using this number: 03-2095 3304 before going there…

Be prepared to pay for the food and don’t be late or you might lose your booking. Just don’t show the “e-diot” face like Linda if you so happen to arrive late…haha! Sorry Linda… you are still my favorite person in office…

Part 2 is coming…

I got orders again this week for Cal. Here is the result… I am rather pleased with myself, each time I try to come out with different creation to explore my talent inside me.. hehe

Keep up the good work Jul!!!!  *Hugggssss*

Hope your family likes them Cal!

On Wednesday night, me, RuehYinn, Jolene, Jenli, Jessica and Brian, headed to Full House at NZX, Ara Damansara to hang out and yum char with Jolene because her birthday is coming up in a few days time.

A brief introduction of Fullhouse: Fullhouse is a lifestyle store and cafe, where you can dine and shops at the same time. You will feel extremely cozy when you walk in. All around are decorated with attractive items like clock, potted plants, portrait frames, key chains and etc. You are free to purchase if you like them. On the second floor, there are various collection of beautiful Korean designed clothing which you can purchase too. If shopping is not your intention to Fullhouse, then feel free to find table along the walkway or the balcony to dine. The feeling is as though you are dining at the garden..

What do they say?

Last night we went on a date to the Curve. But first stop, RY needs to go for a haircut. He keeps complaining his hair is messy, getting longer and becoming ugly…

Then only we head down to the Apartment to have some quality time together

…

We went straight to the desserts and beverages.

Me enjoying the Baileys Cheesecake…

RY with his new hairstyle,  enjoying his cuppa green tea.

At the end we had a wonderful night out together. The cheesecake wasn’t that great, plus it was $15.90… not worth it, I would say Secret Recipe has better cheesecake comparing to their cheesecake and half the price. The flavor was ok but we didnt liked the texture, it was alil stiff. The ambience, the mood everything else was nice!

Today is Valentine’s Day. Nothing really great to start with because I had to work from 7:30am-4:30pm, sad huh… while RuehYinn spend his daytime at home.

Then as usual we will have dinner with my family. After dinner, it is OUR time… hehe. This time we went to try out a new cafe at 1 utama called the garden. (not the Gardens at Midvalley ya!!!)

The Garden is a lifestyle concept store and cafe with Voir Gallery. (the clothing brand Voir) The setting is like in a garden. I personally like the setting but RuehYinn was complaining about it- trying to be one but not exactly, you know not up to standard yet… ouch!

Anyways the drinks we ordered:

Ice Mocha

Ice Cappuccino

My ice cappuccino was ok, but RuehYinn’s mocha tasted alil weird, he said he can’t taste the coffee, just chocolate with ice…

Anyhow, I believe it’s not about the food or expensive gifts, what’s most importantly we get to spend some quality time together! Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

Kar Fu has been my loyal cupcake client. He doesn’t like chocolate but more towards raisins or other stuffs other than chocolate. This time I made him raisins cupcakes, with a different icing decoration. I used blue and pink because I like pink and RuehYinn likes blue, its our favourite colors and they match well too. hehe… (hope he likes them too!)

I tried the new icing decoration instead of giving him florets decoration, probably the lines aren’t that perfectly straight  but I tried as best as I could! So in the end the cupcakes look like this~

Aren’t they sweet? ;[)

Enjoy the cupcakes!

RuehYinn’s colleague asked me to make some cupcakes for his son’s Adrian’s birthday. It took me awhile to come up with the idea of something cute and suitable for kids. And I had to checked out some decoration stuffs to make them nice.

This is the result of the cupcakes… This is actually my first time making birthday cupcakes. I wanna make them colorful because kids love colors. Not bad for first trial huh!

Hopefully little Adrian enjoyed my cupcakes!

A short blog entry from me today. I’ve got to wake up early in the tomorrow morning to attend weekly church meeting, so getting enough sleep is my utmost priority…hehe!

Allow me to introduce this infamous pork noodles at SS15…

These are few reasons why this pork noodle stall is famous (based on the survey I made):-

1. That bowl of noodles is deliciously cooked;

2. People say the owner of the stall is a bit stuck up a.k.a LCLY;

3. You have to wait 40 – 50 mins for a bowl of noodle; and

4. lastly, everybody else think they are famous…

…

This is what I think! If you are ever going for this noodle, my advice to you is never go there alone. No! No! It is not because the place is not safe. But the rumors is right, you indeed have to wait 40 – 50 mins for a bowl of noodle. Bring your friends so that while you are waiting, you can talk to your friends and won’t look too odd.

After 10 minutes, we are still waiting for our food. This is the prove. Jason and Kevin are not perturbed by the waiting period because they have companion…

Jen Li and Jeffrey feel the same too. Talk and talk…

And if you aren’t the talkative type, you can camwhore with your camera or camera phone, whichever works for you. James Lim and me…

After a while, the aunty will bring in the chopstick and chillies but don’t get over excited because that doesn’t mean your food is coming…hehe!!

JenLi and Jeffrey also wanted to take picture. I guess, they are out of topic..hehehe…

If you have run out of topic to talk with the person next to you, expand your circle to people next next to you…hehehe! Just remember, keep talking while waiting or else you will start to complain.

Now my time to take picture with my sweetheart. She remains calm while waiting..hehehe!

If you stick to my suggestion, 40 minutes will pass like a blink of eye. When the food arrive, stop talking and start eating..hehe! Here is my verdict of the pork noodles. I like the soup a lot and I think the soup is very delicious. I am not surprise since they cook the food with generous portion of  pork intestines, liver and meat. You can’t get wrong with that…hehe! You can have a variety of noodles to go with the soup. You can have..

1. Hor Fur…

2. Lou Shu Fun and of course yellow noodles if you want…

My recommendation therefore, is to have a try at this pork noodles’ shop. I personally love the blend of the soup. The texture of the noodle is ordinary but when it comes it the soup, the bowl of noodles become extraordinary. Really!! If you are big fan of pig intestine, liver and of course pork, then you will definitely love this place. But please don’t bring your friends or family members who are not patient or else you won’t have peace finishing that bowl of noodle, what more to enjoy the food…hehe! Order before you find a seat. You will definitely find a seat before the food arrive. That’s for sure…

The big bowl is priced at RM5.50 and the small one at RM4.80. If you are super hungry, then request the aunty to add egg into the noodle but of course with extra charge…hehe! The stall is at Restoran Pomander. It is just right behind the Taylor’s Business School…

The stall is located at:-

Pork Noodles Stall

No 78, Jalan SS15/4B.
