There is one thing that I always wanted to do. That is to work and travel overseas. I know I could do it but I would be always thinking about people back home especially mom and grandma. They are not getting any younger and that's the reason why I don't want to go anywhere far. I don't want to regret if anything were to happen when I'm far away (touch wood). 

Stupid Sunday blues. :(

I've been reading so many food blogs lately and I have this sudden urge to cook/bake so many things. Also, I've yet to get this really awesome cook book by Thomas Keller titled 'Buchon Bakery' :(

I usually baked Chocolate Chip Cookies whenever I'm bored, because my kitchen always filled with self raising flour, sugar and etc. I last baked about 2 months ago, oh man I really want to do more. Who wants to be my guest ? :)

I particularly love this recipe from Jamie' Oliver because it's so simple and fast to make.

All you need is :

1. Chicken

2. Tomatoes ( I put so much of tomatoes because I love tomatoes plus it kinda helps with keeping the chicken moist)

3. Potatoes ( who doesn't love potatoes?! )

4. Sweet Basil

5. Olive oil 

6. Salt and course black pepper

7. Red chili 

8. Lemon juice and zest

9. Garlic

I can't tell you how much exactly of chicken to use because I always use my instincts to make this dish. I do taste if the chicken is seasoned enough and then quickly rinsed my mouth with wate. Well raw chicken ain't good for you! 

So basically, I just cut my tomatoes into wedges, just use the basil leaves and smash my garlic and throw it into the baking pan. Pour olive oil all over that chicken and give it a good rub! Yeap, rub it all over with shit loads of olive oil till you're happy :) season with salt and pepper , put in the zest and lemon juice then rub it again. When you're done massaging your lovely chicken, just pop it in the oven, bake it at 180 degrees for 1 1/2 hours and wait for all of that goodness to be ready for your stomach. 

The original recipe does not call for lemon juice or the zest. Since I've tried it before I guess adding something extra that made it tastier;) 

I think my hunger lead me to writing to post. 

Well good day !

"What do you see, when you see me?"

Watched The Equalizer yesterday thanks to ChurpChurp for the #Churpremiere! Here's my take on the movie.

Personally, I felt it was damn good. Firstly, I love action movies because it kinda gives me that 'kanchiong' feeling while I watch it. Watching this movie honestly felt as though I was watching Hun playing 'Watch Dogs' because of the soundtracks and the plot?

So McCall is this vigilante who serves justice for helpless citizens. Before he became who he is, he was in the secret military services who faked his death and decided to have a new beginning in life. Everything changed when he met this teenage girl named Alina, who he was walking with one night and then she got caught by some Russian mob.

She was so brutally injured that I think that started to bring out his old dark side. Right after the whole Alina incident, people around him had some unfortunate incidents happening to them like from corruption to robbery and etc. That really pushed his buttons to be who he used to be. Then BAM! there's when he start to step up and let them bad guys get a taste of their own medicine.

"Mind, body, spirit"

Well, I would totally recommend this movie for those of you who love movies which packed a punch!

Did you hear about it? 

Well, I did and it was awesome! 

I think this could probably be my favourite place to have a western breakfast (Thank you Shin D and Niro for bringing me here). Located in Taman Tun lies this marvellous cafe which serves a really good breakfast that is guaranteed to make your day ( apart from the grumpy waitress)  

Ever since I've been back from Singapore, I've been trying to find a cafe which serves good coffee, food, and pastries and this cafe has it all! That was one Sunday morning well spent, worth the effort of waking up early and travelling all the way from Klang to TTDI to have this.

Oh man, I was really delighted with the choice of pastries they had in the cafe. However, let me tell you about how the cafe smelled when I first stepped in. It smelled so good that it really brought me back to the time when I was an intern in Jones The Grocer. The smell of the freshly baked croissants, pain au chocolate, danish and etc. filled the humble small sized cafe. I honestly think that not many cafes around here has this ( I could also be wrong since I’ve never really visited enough cafe ). 

So we had Salmon Eggs Royale and The Frisky Goat’s Eggs En Cocotte. It was really amazing. 

The Salmon Eggs Royale came with pan seared salmon which was nicely done because it wasn’t over cooked, the centre was still pink, just the way I like it. It also came with a poached egg, sautéed mushrooms, toasts and a piece of belgian waffle. The yeasty taste of the waffle really blend well with all the condiments on the plate, it really was scrumptious. Come to think of it, I finally had my first savoury waffle dish.That was the first time I had Eggs en Cocotte and I absolutely love it. The eggs were perfectly done, I really love runny yolks. Oh, the sauce and the beef bacon and spicy lamb sausage really went well altogether. 

The coffee served at Frisky Goat was nice, the temperature of the coffee served was just nice. Unlike most of the cafes I’ve visited which served piping hot coffee. Also, unlike other cafes I’ve visited the price charged here is reasonable for the food you get.
