Can we have some more cake, please?Yes, that was what my colleagues asked me this morning, after they have tasted this Crazy Nuts Cake which I made last night...A simple soft moist chocolate cake, coated with more chocolate and sprinkled with caramelized hazelnuts and almonds...The texture looked a bit dense here because the cake was just removed from the fridge and you know how chilled chocolate cake would be.  Leave it a bit longer at room temperature for the cake to "fluff out" and the … [Read more...]

This is a first. Yes, this is my very first post on Korean food.  It's not that I don't like Korean food.  I was not really passionate about it but LL has done his best to try and change that.  Yes, he's very much into Korean stuff (like most youngsters his age!) ~ like K-Pop and of course Korean food.  The Korean pop culture has totally swamped the scene - so many of LL's friends are absolutely crazy about the various Korean boy & girl groups.  I think they no longer listen to … [Read more...]

When we first moved to Kota Kemuning more than 3 years ago, it was still a relatively quiet and peaceful suburb.  We love it for the tree-lined wide roads that were a breeze to drive on.  Everywhere you turn, there are matured trees and lush greenery.  The commercial area in the Anggerik Vanilla precinct wasn't too crowded and you can easily get parking even right in front of the banks!  Well, 3 years down the road and the place has now become a bit more congested.  With … [Read more...]

It's about time I did something. Change the outfit from the old boring one to something more contemporary, eh!Blogger's new themes are pretty cool - so many combinations of templates and backgrounds! I like my greens and cyans ... restful shades that don't tax the eyes too much. The whole thing doesn't reflect food or gluttony much (no pics of food in the template) - that's intentional... coz the posts will be full of foooood!Hopefully this agrees with the majority of you out there, ya! ;-)) … [Read more...]

Still on a roll on "Kampung Cuisine"... Our group of VHRCs were happily eating our lunch (the lunch that we cooked) at Rohani Jelani's Bayan Indah and the conversation was centred on Food, naturally. I think it was Lyrical Lemongrass who asked Rohani if there's any good bite around that area (besides Rohani's cooking, that is!). Rohani immediately related that someone had introduced her to this place called "Sambal Hijau" which is located in Kg Penchala itself - a skip and a hop from Bayan … [Read more...]

This post is a bit late.This was the BMW New 5-series Launch event a couple of weeks ago. By now, you would have seen the adverts in the media or probably the car itself in the showrooms and have placed your bookings, or maybe even driving one on the road now.Anyway, having never attended a car launch that came with dinner, I was curious. Yes, dinner. Plus the fact that they tried to make this so exclusive got me even more curious. It was strictly by invitation only wor... and each invitee … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago, I was invited by the Bukit Bintang Girls' School Old Girls Association (BBSG OGA) to a Tea cum Demo on the famed Apple Strudel at Karl's Beisl. The demo was done by the man himself - Karl.Prior to the demo, we had lunch there. LL and DL ordered the Pork Schnitzel after reading the positive review about this earlier. We tried the other version of the schnitzel too - with the mushroom sauce. Both went well with a pint of Hoegaarden!We were ushered up to the Mezzanine Floor where … [Read more...]

I have passed by Karl's Beisl a few times in the past but had never stepped into this place. Through the good connections of my friend, Z, I was invited to review the food here. Not only me, but several other food bloggers were also invited and that was how I spent a long lazy afternoon there sampling the delights that this Austrian-styled restaurant had to offer. The afternoon definitely got lazier (if that's possible) after the good food and company... just read on :-))"Beisl" in Austrian … [Read more...]
