Bavarian Bierhaus @ The Curve

On Monday 2 weeks ago, I took a day off work and spent my time with my man. It was also my birthday so he brought me out for a dinner. We were supposed to go down to KL for some Thai fusion food, but it was quite late after his car service, so I decided to drop by The Curve for a pork knuckle meal. It was at Bavarian Bierhaus and they serve pork knuckles, and sausages as their specialties.

My man and I ordered a meal which consists of a knuckle, a sausage, some preserved cabbaged and sautéed potatoes.  The knuckles was fried to perfection, keeping the outer layer, a.k.a the skin crunchy, and the flesh juicy. The sausage was of great taste too, it has a rubbery coat outside and succulent inside. The rubbery coat wasn’t bad so don’t imagine it will have a texture of a rubber band. We had our beers to go with the meal, my man had his usual Carlsberg while I had hoegarden.

It was a satisfying meal I could say and to top it off, I received my gift for this year, and it’s a little handbag to add to my collection.

I’ll load the photos later to sum it up…

A memorable Sunday lunch @ The Apartment, The Curve

Last week I met a primary schoolmate over the internet and we started chatting for a while before we decided to meet up one day to catch up real time. So, I instantly decided on a date which is 21^st November 2011 and she said OK, we’ll meet.

And now, it was a hot Sunday afternoon and we met at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara. I have not met her since we graduated from primary school in 1994, we were both just 12 years old and we parted to proceed with secondary school. We kept in touch through letters (yeah, you read it right… we wrote letters to each other the traditional way) but it died down few months later. Our letters became less and then vanished. So, that was where we stopped and didn’t keep in touch at all.

Before the meet up, I was thinking how awkward will it be when we really met face to face but I just stopped thinking too much and went on with the ‘date’. We found a quiet restaurant (The Apartment) and ordered our meals before starting off with all the updates and news that we’ve missed. Come to count the years, it’s been 15 years since we’ve last met and now, we are all adults and living our lives well.

We had a long chat bout our classmates and it was a great thing to know and start refreshing our minds with those people that we hang out with when we were kids. Spending 6 hours in class doing mischievous things together, making fun of each other, and playing together. Time past so fast that now everyone is in the working world and getting on with their lives as adults.

This is the start to our small little get-together and I know there’ll be more to come. As for now, I’ll be signing off… till the next post… Have a great week ahead.

Dinner @ Craft Brew

It was a special day for us on the 11^th of November. With this special day in mind, we thought of going out for a quiet dinner while spending some precious time together refreshing our memories on the event held last year.

We decided to go try out the food in Craft Brew at Mutiara Damansara. I read some reviews on the restaurant and got to know that they had Spirulina Beer as one of the drinks on their menu. After work that day, my man came over to pick me up and off we went for dinner there. We ordered their house specialty “Honey Mustard Roasted Back Ribs”. In addition to that, we also ordered pasta coz I was hungry like a bear. While going through their drinks on the menu, there were too many beers to choose from (btw, their beer is something really special). We couldn’t decide on what to choose so we finally went for the Red Dot sampler which has 4 different types to sample and taste. It includes 3 core and 1 seasonal beer.

It was overall a nice dinner spent together and I will definitely visit the restaurant again for a full pint of Spirulina beer…

2011 Starbucks Planner

Here I come! 2011 Starbucks planner… when it was the beginning of November this year, my mind was all about the planner which Starbucks had. Every year, Starbucks will come out with this planner for the following year which we can exchange it by collecting stamps (of course, we had to purchase our drinks there to collect a stamp). I managed to complete my mission last year and woohoo! A 2010 planner was in my hands.

This year, the design is not really appealing compared to other countries, but I am still standing strong to get one. So, with this target in mind, I will very often be having my breakfast with my man at Starbucks starting from now. I just cant wait to get my hands on one of the planner so, here goes, my coffee drinking spree.

I am all along not a coffee drinker, since young, I wasn’t trained to drink coffee, so I’ll just have to stick to my hot chocolate as usual while my man can have his coffee. 

Starbucks spree, here I come…

Wall Art

It’s a Sunday afternoon, I was talking to my man about redecorating our little home with something new and suddenly, wall decoration struck our minds. We’ve been staying in this little house for almost 3 years and we thought of getting something new to refresh our home.

So, off I went browsing the internet for some modern wall stickers and murals and only I noticed that there is so much to choose from. However, nothing really nice, simple, classy, and modern came my way so the only thing I got to do is to continue searching for it.

At the same time, we also thought of giving our hall a makeover, discussing on how to redesign our TV rack and cabinets. However, there’s still much to be discussed so just hope that there’ll be some progress. So, anyone with any ideas on some modern contemporary designs, do share with me so that I can have some ideas on how to go about refurbishing my little home.

Anyway, tomorrow’s the start of a working week so I have to call it a day earlier to have a good rest before I go back to my pile of work in the office.

Happy Deepavali

Yesterday was a public holiday (Festival of lights which is celebrated by Indians) and I was invited to my colleague’s house for a gathering session with delicious Indian home cooked food.

We had a whole variety of spicy food a.k.a. prawn sambal, chicken masala, mutton rendang which went really well with putu mayam , nasi birayani and tosai. These are all Indian delicacies which we are able to find everywhere however, there’s a little twist to it as it was prepared the home cooked way. Everyone enjoyed it and we were all sweating away because of the spiciness level that boosted our taste buds…

We spent almost 2 hours at my colleague’s place chit chatting while filling up our tummy with food on the table. It was a great lunch and we gobbled down everything that is edible served. Kids were having a great time playing while the mums gathered for catch ups on motherhood. Meanwhile, the men were also having their topics about automobiles and cameras. The weather was really hot but we had refreshing juice to quench our thirst and kept us cool under the heat.

Definitely will be looking forward to another Deepavali open house next year…
