Levain 咖啡屋

上个周日终于在天时地利人和的情况下和朋友来到这个他讲了很久的 ‘人家一直推荐，很美的喝kopi的地方’。

到达的时候我差一点就笑死，我说 “老兄，这里看来是喝咖啡，不是喝kopi的喔，应该没有‘参冰’的喔”。哇咔咔咔咔。。。来看看！

Last Sunday we finally made it to this place as friend has been mentioned it N times after our routine hiking. He said, 'eh my friend said there is this place drink KOPI very nice one, find a day go try it out...'

When I reached...I almost burst into laughter.. I said, "Friend, seems like here only got coffee not kopi woh, I think don've have 'charm ice'"...hahahahahaha. Let's take a look.

就是这里啦，是由独立式洋房转型成为咖啡店的，蛮‘欧洲’的。。。
This is it. Transformed from a banglow...quite europe feel eh? :P

说实在的环境真的很不错，舒服自在，如果天气好的话，坐外面也是另一番滋味。。。
I seriously felt that the ambiance of this coffee house is really comfortable, if the weather is good, choosing outdoor seat  shall be pretty enjoyable...

入口转左，是一罗罗香喷喷的面包（可能是我肚子e
On the left after entrance, are all the tasty bread... drooling...

自行下订单之后，饮品和食物会送到你的桌面（所以要先选好位子咯），不过蛋糕和面包选好可以先付钱然后开始吃个痛快。。。）柜台右边那个黑板有指示的。。。
After you placed your order, they will send over the food & beverages, so you've gotto choose a seat first oh. But you can pick the bread & cake, paid & start the food feast first... hehehe.....See the blackboard next to the counter? It will teach you how to order...

see see see, I damn like this counter because of the colour! but this time I didn't try any of it, save it for the next! But first row... macoroni? I sure won't touch lo, too sweet...
看看看，颜色组合是不是很棒？！可是这次我没点甜点哦，留待下次吧！不过最上层那些五颜六色美美的小饼我就不敢恭维了，甜。。。

环境很不错吧，而且客人也不会太喧哗 :)
Environment pretty comfortable, and customers also not too 'loud'...

咖啡浓度适中（ok 对我口味，你们我就不知道啦）面包也很可口。。。
Coffee is fantastic (ok suits my taste la, you guys I'm not sure...), bread also tasty, yummy yummy...

吞拿鱼意大利面条 ~ 讲真的，出奇的好吃哦!微辣，味道就是刚到位（可能真的很饿？？）这个行！
Tuna spaghetti... surprising taste good! Mildly spicy... taste just right!(maybe I was really hungry??) This is good!

我绝对推荐这咖啡店，和朋友聚聚甚至是和家人用餐都适合啊，价钱也不会太贵哦。地址如下：

Overall I will recommend this place, let alone the nice ambiance, it was not even over price. So, dropby for the ambiance if you have time! Here is the address:

米大师~健康小吃 Master Mi ~ The Healthy Snack

上两个星期天到时代广场跑了一转，光顾了朋友这家小店，想和大家分享一下。米大师嘛，顾名思义就是用米做成的小食，原料从台湾进口，不含防腐剂，所以这小食最大的挑战就是不能囤放太久咯,而且因为是健康小吃，所以口味肯定会比较淡！

Visited my friend's little Master Mi shop at Time Square two weeks ago, let's share a bit bit of the snack's secret. Master Mi - Mi-->Rice, rice snack. Ingredients all from Taiwan, the challenges of this snack are 1) no perservative and so the snack can't store too long 2) since it's healthy snack, the taste is very much lighter than those full of 'ajinomoto' one lo...

就是这小店，在 Chatime 和十八风味之间
This is the little store, quite nice eh? LG-18-06, in between Chatime & 18 Rooms

有好几个口味，都有得试食，我个人喜欢花生巧克力和海苔味的，奶油也不错哦！
There are few flavours as shown, personally I like the chocolate & seaweed, butter also not bad oh.

这个超级健康，十谷嘛，口感比较厚，我觉得老人家应该会喜欢，呵呵。。。而且分开包装，比较耐放
Multi Grain, super healthy and a bit thicket than the normal one, I think Ah Gong Ah Ma might like this :D and it's seperate packing, 2 in one pack, can store better lo.

新鲜出炉的米饼在‘砰’一声后从机器里‘飞’出来，还记得在场的一个小朋友被吓的‘弹’开好几步呢，哈哈哈。。
Fresh from the machine. 'Pom!', and one rice cracker will 'fly out'...

热烘烘的，美味极了！
Fresh & crunchy, yumm yummy!

当然是把它们带回家让老妈和两个小朋友试一试啦！
Of course I did bring back for mummy & the two little monsters at home!

小贴士，如果一次吃不完的话，其实是可以放冰橱的哦！而且是越冰越好吃！朋友说如果米饼因开封而变的不脆口，除了放入冰箱可以让它恢复口感，其实还可以放入烘炉哦！
Little tips here also, you can actually seal it back and put it in the fridge and serve it cold! The colder the more tasty! If you don't like cold and the cracker 'masuk angin', you can actually use oven to make it crunchy again!

总的来说，我是觉得可以吃而且吃的健康，看戏时与其吃薯条喝汽水，吃吃这健康米饼岂不更好！不过讲真的这味道比较清淡，习惯重口味的人可能需要些时间接受哦！不过我觉得小朋友和老人家就很适合吃这个！一滴油都没有叻！有机会的话不妨一试！

Overall I think this is worth a try, and it's seriously healthy snack lo! Instead of having cola & french fries for movie, maybe we can consider this rice cracker! But then if you are very used to something that has heavy taste, then it might take some time for you to adjust to this cracker's taste, coz it is very much lighter! So I think this suits the kids and the elderly most (not meant for adult? Of course not! As long as you aim at healthy stuff, this is for you too! There is not even a drop of oil oh!)

So if you so happens to be there, go give a try!

Hoofed, TTDI

因为一位朋友的生日，我来到了这个装潢典雅的Hoofed。感觉和一般的Pub & Restaurant 有一点点的不一样。这里的烤猪蛮出名的，黑沙拉也很不错。一系列的红、白酒和啤酒任君选着。我呢，就爱它的装潢。。。位置就在TDH (Tom Dick & Harry's)的楼上哦。

I was here bcos of a good friend's birthday dinner. The feeling was slightly different from the normal pub & restaurant, I really like the reno here.  It is famous of it roasted/suckling pig, dark salad is good too. There's a wide range of red/white wine for you to choose, and beers of course.  It is at 1st floor of TDH (Tom Dick & Harry's). Worth a try.

我可是犹疑了几秒钟才‘知道’应该进哪一间才没错。这是除了Lubeck之外第二间让我有点‘不知所措’的厕所，都怪那标志。。。
I had few seconds of doubt on which to go in (tho its just the same)...hmnm... this is the 2nd toilet (besides the one in lubeck) that mades me 'hesitate' to go in bcos of its sign...adui...

Havana ~ My Very First Drive to Town

Yeaappp! First time driving to town (with my beloved GPS of course!), otherwise, I would have say NO NO NO NO NO to meet a friend IN TOWN (coz probably I'll ended up calling taxi... ==')

So here I am, Changkat Raja Chulan, in a sunny windy afternoon...

第一次自己驾车去吉隆坡哦！呵呵呵。。。当然，如果没有导航器的话，我会不假思索的告诉朋友：吉隆坡啊，不必‘预’我了（因为根本不知道要怎么去。。。==‘）不过既然决定了要尝试不同的东西，又有个好向导，所以就敢敢去咯！

老天配合，当天风和日丽，一个弯都没转错的我比预约时间早好几倍，所以就把自己当成游客，东拍拍，西拍拍，走上走下的。

我个人对这类型的旧式建筑是情有独钟的，怎么说呢。觉得很有‘感觉’，希望它们能被好好的保留下去，不会成为另一个发展计划的牺牲品。。。

喜欢建筑物的颜色，喜欢那木制的，长长的桌子，然后来一杯冰凉的 Mojito, 再聊上个小时，很不错的新体验哦！



Like the colours of the building, like the wooden long table, like the bar outside... a glass of Mojito under the hot sun, its pretty much an experience oh!

轻粥浓饭之~瓦煲鸡饭餐馆 Restoran Makanan Mr Claypot @ Cheras

我很爱吃粥，但鲜少在外头用粥（通常家里有煮的在外面我就会少点。。。）不过这晚还是尝了一顿令人满意开怀的潮洲粥和瓦煲鸡饭，再来一碗香滑又不甜的腐竹薏米糖水，窝心 :)

I love porridge yet seldom had it outside (dishes that mama used to cook I normally seldom try outside...), but tonight I had a very nice dining experience at this Mr Claypot at Cheras. The normal yet delicious dishes + claypot chicken rice + super fu zok barley tong sui = sweet+fantastic!

就是这里，人多但不太吵，坐在外面还可以享受徐徐微风。。。那个，现在的餐馆都流行把绵纸黏在墙上面eh?

This is the place, crowded but not too noisy(maybe sitting outside eh?), and can enjoyed the wind somemore... Errr...the tissue box is 'sticked' on the wall, seems to be the normal practise of the restaurant nowaday??

菜宝煎蛋（老妈说可以煎成这样，功力深厚。。。我们家的是散状的，起初还以为是妈妈特地煎成那样的，今天才‘穿帮’。。。哈哈。。。）

'Choi Bou' fried egg. Hehe, mama said can friend and cut in such a shape consider very 'geng', coz our house one, scattered shape one leh :P (I tot she purposedly did that for the past of the years... )

这颗咸蛋有点败笔，因为它不咸。。。哈哈。。。
This salty egg not so salty, can't blame also, this really gotto depends on the luck...

简单的马铃薯很好送粥。。。

Simple yet tasty, good with porridge :)

梅菜蒸猪肉，老妈的比较可口但这个也不错啦

Mama's one better but this one also good lah, hehee...

应该是梅香咸鱼吧？哈哈。。。只要加少少就能让你再添一碗粥了。。。
Errr... guess this is 'mui hiong' salted fish? :P Just add a little it will makes you ordered another bowl of porridge...

豆士鱼。以前家里常吃，现在好象被遗忘了。。。

Dao Si Fish...

传闻中的‘一品锅’，又名 ‘菜脚’味道最最棒！够酸够辣，湛！

This 'Yat Ban Wor' aka 'Choi Giok' is superb! Hehe... spicy and sour enough, thumbs up!

加了咸鱼的瓦煲鸡饭香浓可口，奇就奇在连饭焦我也觉得它很是滋味儿。。。

Claypot Chicken rice with salted fish, concentrated and even the burnt rice (well claypot used to have mah right?) tasted good!

不知怎的就是想来张‘全家福’。

Just want to have a 'happy family' photo.

Venue: Saga Hill, Cheras

匆忙打包了‘午餐’上车，满心期待这次的 Saga Hill 之行。。。原因很简单，因为这次一定要把它走完！ 第一次只走到第一个平台，感觉快死于心脏病发，呵呵呵呵。。。这次在到达第一平台时也不例外，看来这心脏病发感觉是每次都会有的咯。但是过了第一平台，之后的路是蛮好走的，纵然接近瀑布的路很斜，但是依然觉得比开始的路好走。。。

因为不懂要用多就的时间到达瀑布，所以坚持在回程的时候才拍照留念，所以啊，这次的照片通通都是回程时拍的！慢下脚步，抬抬头，望望左，看看右，会发现很多我们平时没有留意的大树和小植物哦。

顺道一提，这森林充数着满满的芬多精，让人好舒服好轻松。。。有空可以来这里洗涤洗涤心灵，但是切忌要爱护大自然，不要乱丢垃圾！

走上这楼梯就是登山途径的开始。。。

下到来可以在这里歇歇，吃吃水果

前方就是入口。。。

鞋子壮烈牺牲。。。

登山完毕通常都会在这洗洗鞋底。。。

开始的路段有点难度哦

下山更堪。。。

第一平台。。。满写意的。。。

冒牌‘抗生素’。。。很多哦。。。 有一条被踩扁了。。。

连理树？？？

森林里的青地毯。。。

走这里有时会有点毛毛的感觉。。。

‘艺术’藤+导游。。。

第二平台。。。

古木参天。。。

看清楚啦，不是每棵树都是友谊之树，捉到这棵就呜呼哀哉。。。

听讲这是‘金银烟’树。。。

像不像Roller Coaster?

另一棵奇树。。。

快要到瀑布咯

小小瀑布。。
