Zanmai feast

Avocado salad with sesame dressing.

 I'm back on the food topic once again there's no stopping me you see. The salad was very nice. It sounds inadequate when I describe it like that. Let me try again. The sesame dressing is a must. And when it's drizzled ( generously) over your crispy vegetable leaves the sensation as you chew is pretty darn good. The avocado bit was nice but I think salmon goes better with the sesame dressing. Together, the sesame dressing and avocado proved too creamy for it to get 10/10. I'm giving it 9/10

Japanese version of olio and chicken teriyaki

Green teat ice cream

I've had green tea ice cream before. This was WNN's choice. Apparently it was yummie:)

Ice cream with wafer and very important chocolate bit in the middle

Mine was this very generous portion of wafer ice-cream which tasted exactly like what I wanted this evening. So I enjoyed it so much...I'm having it again this week maybe.

Book sale

I've been blogging about food the last few entries, so allow me to just pop in something else in between lest you think I'm some food-obsessed soul. This is the infamous TIME booksale at plaza damas. Not to be confused or likened in any way to the Big Bad Wolf sale. But you're welcome to drop by and browse. I did and left empty-handed ( swoon a first for me)

Garrett's popcorn

Quite a long line of folk

 And so here is another food item which has arrived at our shores. The famous Garrett's popcorn. Again, if KN hadn't insisted we visit I would have missed it completely.

Not possible

Many flavours to try out....here are just a few:
1. The chicago mix ( KN had this ) sweet and salty The saltiness is from the cheesecorn
2. Buttery crispy and creamy. I had this...I think I shall try chicago mix the next time. The creamiess made me queasy after 5 minutes of munching non-stop. I'm still queasy and it's been 4 hours since

Candylicious!

It sizzles and pops in your mouth

 Candylicious is exactly where the old TIME bookstore used to be in KLCC. KN brought me here and oh boy did we have a field day taking pictures. It was only after I spied a tactful message saying " photography not allowed our candies are shy" that I stopped. And so here are some of my pictures ...

Jelly bean anyone? I'll have a mugfull thanks

 For a short while I was into jelly beans. Had a handful in the car but after having to hunt for lost jelly beans in the car I've decided its safer to eat them in a non-moving vehicle. Love the vanilla bean flavour. And I hate the lime...it seriously taste like washing out liquid. And I'm not making this up, I have seriously tasted ( not on purpose) some washing up liquid in the past.

Reese bowls.....and reese everything else

For them "reese's" fans out there....come on over and get your stash at Candylicious. And now, just a little about Candylicious and what all the hype is about. ( found from various sources on the net.) It's a concept of candy fantasy shop serving loads of different types and they display it in such a tantalising way you feel you simply have to have that whorly lolly or you'ld just die!!!! From the crowds inside, I'm guessing this shop will do very well. Malaysians love their candy! Its flagship store opened in September 2009. There have three stores in Singapore, Resorts World, Sentosa, Takashimaya and Parkway Parade. The one in Sentosa is 9 thousand square feet in size!!!!

Green stripey bag

STEP STEAM STAY SMILE COMPASS AHEAD. Am trying to revisit some asthma trials this Monday morning. No rest for the wicked you see.

Not one but THREE

I have a purifying mask on right now. I hope this purifies the THREE pimples sprouting on my chin. Wish me luck!

Market Hall review

Scallops anyone?

We had lunch at the top floor of pavilion just beside some restaurant called grandma-something I forget now. I've also forgotten the name of the restaurant we ate in but I'm 80% sure it's called Market hall.

Aglio Olio with white wine

 The food like the name of the restaurant is forgettable. I'm judging unfairly as just the day before we had the most gorgeous tasty olio ever. With that, this had a slim chance of pleasing us. The portion was adequate. Service was good and they went through the motions of actually saying the correct script.

Coffee in a glass cup and saucer

We had coffee there mainly because we wee too lazy to walk out and look for decent coffee. I have no complains re coffee. Nice and aromatic.

Bread

I forgot to mention, the breadsticks were yummy!

All I want for Christmas is a....

This  can be found at Parkson KLCC near the kitchen mixer and tableclothes!

Kitty-cat doorstopper!!!!!!!

Sephora ( again..)

Something interesting from "Soap and glory"

 You cannot stay away for long. And so there we were, making our way to Sephora ( in the rain...yes it started to drizzle and no we had no umbrella with us). Like the last two visits, the atmosphere was charged with women with an intent to try and buy. You can tell the good deals from the empty pots left or the 1/8 full bottle of hand cream. Some testers were missing. Those MUST be the ones to get. I bought a whole mini basket full of soap and glory stuff plus some other delectables from other unheard of brands. And I finally found the version of versace perfume I liked from the last visit. Perfume purchase saved for 2012. Today was strictly frivolous shopping.

Black tea mask for the brave

I found this in the shelf after my third round. Cost quite a bit. I wonder if I were to use wet grounded tea would the effect be "perfect" too.

Something like ShueUmura's oil cleanser

I don't use mascara so this wasn't on the much buy list. But looking at the tester bottle you can gauge for yourself whether it'll be worth buying!

And here;s the main reason why my blog entry is Sephora based....THERE's a SECOND branch in KLCC. Fancy that!!!!!!  But we still prefer the orginal Sephora because of the great crowds of women of various ages and sizes all like-minded. Bonding session at sephora can only be experienced at Sephora opposite Pavillion.

The insurmountable??

Exams give me a headache. And I strongly suspect gives my teacher a bigger headache. I'm hoping to brush up ( a great deal) before I decide!

Obsessed with Emma

picture from theAtlantic

I've been listening ( not reading mind) to Emma for the last week. Audio books, they make your car trips so much more enjoyable. I'm almost over my obsession with Emma. What next Sense and Sensibility!

A new branch of Secret Recipe

Sorry for not posting more. Been under-the-weather and this flu kinda sucked all the energy out of my body for a while. It's back but I still feel woosy if I think about work :)
