What’s more, viewers will also be able to improve their English while they enjoy the adventure, and learn from the moral values featured in the movie.

The beloved Mr. Henry Middleton (Zain Saidin),together with students of 4 Merah; Jibam (Akhmal Nazri), Jojie (Nadiya Nisaa), Zack (Juzzthin) and Mazlee (Zhafir Muzani) are up for a new challenge,accompanied by Sarjan bin Mejar (Rahim Jalur) and Cikgu Bedah (Sherry Al Hadad).

Oh My English: Villa Isabellaaa! begins with students of 4 Merah and Mr. Henry Middleton decide to pay See Yew Soon a visit after See Yew Soon’s surprise announcement of him moving to Singapore in the Season 3 epsiode finale.

With Sarjan at the wheel and Mazlee, Jojie, Zack, Jibam, Mr. Henry, Aiman (Izzue Islam) and Bedah all on board, the gang set off for their road trip.

Their plans change as their van breaks down. To make matters worse, they end up with a flat tyre and are completely stranded in the middle of nowhere.

They set off to look for a mechanic on foot, and instead stumble upon a deserted villa called Villa Isabella.

Its sole occupant is the enigmatic Puan Tiana, a woman in red who lives alone and invites them in to stay the night. During their stay, however, strange and unbelievable things start to happen.

The intrepid Jojie, the only one whose suspicions are aroused, is determined to uncover the truth. She unearths clue after clue, and gradually Puan Tiana starts to seem a lot more spine-tingling than sweet.

As the secrets hidden away in the depths of Villa Isabella start to reveal themselves one by one, it gets harder for the gang to ignore Jojie’s suspicions.

Beauty Workshop by Astersprings, Pavilion KL

by Cleffairy // December 21, 2014 // No Comments

It is Dec 21 as of writing. That’s four more days to go before Christmas and I have yet to go for Christmas shopping for my loved ones.

Although I am a shopaholic, I can be very bad at buying gifts for people. I’m more to an indecisive and an impulsive shopper, so a well organized shopping trip to get things for people is out of question.

Have been doing my regular rounds in Pavilion KL and somehow I spotted a perfect place to shop for gifts for my vain girlfriends; Beauty Workshop by Astersprings.

Beauty Workshop by Astersprings. The Institute works closely with leading faculties such as the University of California and The Touch Institute to ensure that you constantly benefit from the latest skincare techniques, product ingredients and information.

Specialized in skincare, the shop is somewhat a one stop beauty centre that’s focused on restoring your fatigue skin. Catering to the demands of today’s fast-paced lifestyles of both women and men in a stressful. Basically, they provide one stop centre for beauty solution.

Spotted some skincare products on sale and I reckon that their packaging are rather cute and eye catchy. Perfect for Christmas.

Managed to grab a hold on some skincare products during their giveaway roadshow as a treat for myself. I bet they are going to make me smell delicious. 😉 Why don’t you check em out too?

Where to Dine for Christmas 2014: Utara Coffee House Armada Hotel PJ

by Cleffairy // December 21, 2014 // No Comments

Not sure where to dine this Christmas? My husband and I have dined in some hotels and restaurants, and we have a few that’s on our list that we think is worth to recommend. First on our list is Utara Coffee House, Armada Hotel PJ.

They are offering buffet and some special menu this festive season, and here’s sharing what you can expect from their trustworthy chefs:

Fresh Prawns with Lemon Wedges. The prawns was served cold. Fresh and naturally sweet, this dish is paired with lemon wedges and is a delight to all crustaceans lovers, yours truly included.

Smoked Salmon with Rosette. If you have been following my blog, you would probably realized by now that I’m not fan of fishes be it cooked or raw, but amazingly enough, Chef Chew from Armada Hotel PJ always manage to prepare fish dishes that I not only will eat, but enjoyed as well. This smoke salmon is actually not bad. It was saltish and finely executed. Definitely wouldn’t mind seconds.

Sushi& Sashimi, Maguro with Wasabi& Trimmings

Again, I’d like to emphasize that I’m not a fan of fishy stuff and raw food, but these are fresh and juicy enough to tempt even a non fan like me for a bite or two. 🙂 Sashimi lovers would appreciate these, definitely.

Boston Oyster Bisque. This oyster soup was bursting with the flavours of the sea. Thick and creamy, it’s enough to settle a growling tummy. I had the same dish in Utara Coffee House last year, and I’m glad to report that if it doesn’t taste the same, it’s much better and improved. Highly recommended and a must try item.

Traditional Christmas Chicken and Walnut Nut Stuffing

Definitely one of my Christmas favourite dish over here in Utara Coffee House apart from the creamy Boston Oyster Bisque. The chicken was perfectly done. It was juicy and was bursting with flavour. The stuffing and sauce complement the chicken perfectly. A not to be missed Christmas dish, I reckon.

Christmas Fried Rice. Need carbs? Can’t live without rice? No fret. Christmas fried rice will surely satisfy your needs for carbs. It’s perfectly flavoured and generously fried with veggies and meat. Worth every calories you consume.

Crustaceans with Mushrooms. A lovely, savoury dish that is pleasing on the palate. This is supposed to be a Christmas dish but I daresay this one borders dangerously on the addictive comfort food category.

Roast Duck with Applesauce. Again, the chef has outdone himself with this homey dish. There was no gamey smell whatsoever and the roast duck was juicy, soft and tender while the applesauce serves only to bring out the flavour out of the duck. Another must try Christmas dish at Utara Coffee House.

Gratinated Oyster with Spinach, Beef Medallion with Mushroom Crest, and Louisiana Pumpkin Pie. Three lovely not to be miss dish. They are all cooked to perfection, especially the beef medallion.

And what’s Christmas dining without the traditional cookies, sweets and desserts? Keep a lookout for the traditional Christmas goodies like the Yule Log Cake, Minced Meat Pie and Ginger Bread cookies. The pastries are not cloyingly sweet and rather addictive. Perfect to pair with coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

As usual, the dining experience in Utara Coffee House is a pleasurable one. Again, I have no complaints as everything surpassed my expectations.

So yes. Armada is currently on my the good Christmas list and yes…it is a safe bet should you want to dine there. They have a generous and healthy selection of Christmas dish that is worthy every single penny paid.

Below is the details should you feel like heaving over there to dine this festive season:

Energizer Power of Giving: Giving the Gifts of Playtime to Underprivileged Children

by Cleffairy // December 21, 2014 // No Comments

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? I am not very sure which one I am, but I do know one thing; I have a lot of friends from all walks of life. Something I don’t always see as good as not everyone of them emit aura that will motivate me or uplifts me in a positive manner. I know this is not a very nice thing to say, but having a lot of friends is meaningless if they are not going to bring out the best in you.

Having it terribly rough in 2013 where life in whole is concerned, I made sure I changed 360′ in 2014. I am determined to be a happier person…be a better version myself every single day.

I believe in the Law of Attractions; mix with people who emits positive energy, and you will benefit from it and be positive too. Yes. The trick to be a better and happier person, is to be with people who will inspire and motivate me. And so, realizing how important it is for me to change, instead of continuing to stick around with people who constantly pull me down, I started to change my circle of friends.

Instead of mixing with people who commented negatively on the things that I do, I started to mingle with those who doesn’t judge me and says kind words whenever I share my daily lives with them. I love taking photos and sharing pictures of myself and my son, so instead of sharing it with ‘friends’ who comment negatively about it regardless of how lovely the pictures turned out, I restrict myself and only will share my selfies with those who says kind words about it and share with me their beautiful photos in return. And instead of hanging around with people who de-motivate me and tells me that I am not good enough whenever I want to attempt something like writing contests, cooking contests, singing in public and whatnot, I stick to those who encourage me and pray for my success, even when they know I am not really good at it.

As a result…I feel much happier and a much beautiful person. And it shows. 🙂

One would have said that these are small matter. But I beg to differ. Weeding out negative, unsupportive people from my life made a HUGE difference. I accomplished much more with positive and supportive people in my life. Having positive friends in my life made me do so many things that I never dreamed of doing before in my life; traveling the country, participating in contests and competitions and actually wins it, share the songs I sing in public on various social media, and the most recent one, doing charity works that benefits underprivileged children during Energizer Power of Giving event in 1Utama. It feels so good, and please, do allow me to share all the positive energy that I felt that day with all of you here. 🙂

A few weeks ago, I spotted something interesting on Energizer Malaysia FB page; Energizer will be buying RM20,000 worth of toys from Hamleys to give away to underprivileged children from Kiwanis Malaysia and they’re asking the public to donate batteries to power up the toys. Apart from buying batteries to power up the battery operated toys for the children, the public are also encouraged to take a pledge to do nice things here –>https://www.facebook.com/EnergizerMY/app_934223696607703

Apart from buying batteries to power up the toys, my pledge was to donate my old books and spread positive energy by singing. 🙂 So I did. If you are my friend on Facebook or follower on my instagram, you would notice the hashtags #positivenergy , #energizerMY and#energizerpowerofgiving. It is actually for this campaign where I shared my singing and excitements for the actual event.

My bff, blogger Wendy and Miera are especially excited about what I was doing and was absolutely supportive about it too to the point that they came with me during the actual day to help me make good of my pledge and help me shop for toys for the children of Kiwanis Malaysia.

Here is my friends, Wendy and Miera, all hyped up with positive energy to play Santarina with me. 🙂

Energizer Power of Giving event setup. Located in Highstreet, New Wings 1 Utama.

You may drop your pre-loved toys and goods here. This roadshow will be ongoing til 28th December 2014.

Spotted this booth while I was there

Energizer batteries on sale…you may buy em for yourself, and also give em up for donations. Good thing about the Energizer batteries is that they last longer and doesn’t ruin your devices as they do not leak. 🙂 Absolutely great for toys.

Children of Kiwanis Malaysia, playing around while waiting for their gifts. 🙂 Lovely kids. 🙂

Anyway, chosen individuals and members of the media were given RM200 vouchers to spend and select battery operated toys for the Kiwanis Malaysia’s children from Hamleys.

Here’s the huge gift from Hamleys containing some battery operated toys and Energizer batteries that my friend Miera selected for the child that she was assigned to. Sorry… Although I was given the exact same voucher to buy gifts for the kids, there is no picture of me. I’m somewhat shopaholic. Let me loose to shop, and I will forget everything and just shop.

Gifts giving session. Blogger Ben Ashaari on stage.

Happy faces. Children of Kiwanis Malaysia with their gifts bought from Hamleys, sponsored by Energizer Malaysia.

I love all the positive energy here. Wanna join and spread the positive energy too? Head over to 1Utama then. The roadshow for the charity will be ongoing til 28th December 2014. Apart from the charity drive…there are a lot of things you can enjoy at the roadshow.

Complimentary candy floss.

Klang Parade Bloggers’ Day Out

by Cleffairy // December 16, 2014 // 3 Comments

From the words of a famous Disney character, Stitch ‘Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten.’. Yes indeed family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. I’m a family woman and a firm believer of spending time with my family, so I’ll grab every single opportunity that I have to spend fun, quality time with them.

Speaking of fun, quality time, my family and I were given a chance to spend some quality time together in the newly revamped Klang Parade along with a bunch of other bloggers in their Bloggers’ Day Out last Saturday.

Klang Parade underwent a massive makeover and was refurbished since June 2013, introducing structural additions to the mall including two new brightly lit atriums drenched in natural sunlight during the day, new travelators and a sense of serenity. A product of very careful planning and design by the mall ‘s owners ARA Asset Management Limited, a new al fresco food and beverage area has been established in front of Klang Parade, replacing spaces previously used as a carpark ramp.
Being one of the largest malls in the area, Klang Parade definitely has gone the distance to guarantee a pleasant shopping experience for shoppers like me, paying attention to the assortment of international and regional brands open to the public.

Klang Parade Blogger Day Out. A group photo before we literally hit the mall.

There was a surprise funky dance performance to welcome us too. 8tv’s Showdown and Astro Battleground dance competition, Rejuvenate Dance Crew, showcased breathtakingly energetic movements, just outside their soon to be opened dance studio, called the Peanut Butter Studio.

Awesome, don’t you think? Should you want to learn how to dance like them, you could look up the Peanut Butter Dance Studio in Klang Parade soon. 😉

After all the funky dancing excitements, we were ushered to Firezone Family KTV. The Firezone Family KTV is located on the 5th floor.

There’s plenty of rooms in the Firezone Family KTV, a one stop family KTV with Wifi, Cafe, Snack & Pool KTV. Firezone Family KTV in Klang Parade has 44 units of small, medium, VIP and VVIP rooms.

1 hour of karaoke session for us bloggers was definitely not enough. Here’s girlfriend Wendy and Rane singing their hearts out. Song selections was pretty decent, I guess. Quite a safe bet if you are looking for a fun karaoke-ing time with family and friends.

Snacks are readily available to order to in Firezone Family KTV. Not sure if it comes with the hourly karaoke packages, but do look it up if you ever drop by. Their pizzas is actually not bad. Pretty decent for a KTV.

Firezone Family KTV Klang Parade reservation No: +6-03-3359 6303.

After an hour of singing, we were let loose in Circus Circus Arcade on 4th floor.

While the Firezone Family KTV is mostly catered to teenagers and adults, the arcade on the other hand provides hours of entertainment for both small children and adults alike.

Arcade video games are readily available. I was a tad disappointed to discover that my all time favourite arcade game, Tekken is not there, but I had a go at the classic Street Fighter arcade video game machine nevertheless. Brings back the memories of yesteryears, really. 😉 I used to play similar games when in was still a teenager.

Here’s me, having fun….after going a few rounds at the Street Fighter arcade video game machine.

After indulging our inner children at the Circus Circus Arcade, it’s time for the Klang Parade Mall Hunt. Bloggers were assigned into three groups for the mall hunt, and here’s my first stop. Tune Talk Service Centre. We were introduced to the Tune Talk services and packages and was given an assignment, which is to pose crazily before we were given our very own Tune Talk simpack. 😉 I was a very happy girl…as part of the number for my simpack and my husband’s simpack is 520. Our anniversary date, and also means ‘I love you’ in Cantonese.

After unleashing our inner models, we head out for our second station; the Fresh Fruits stall where our task was to make our very own skewered fruits.

Here’s my good friend Rane with her fruit stick. Will you just look at that! So much fruity goodness!

Third station is the I.GF Nail Spa where you could have some R&R doing pedicure and manicure.

Cute setting for manicure session, don’t you think? Very feminine and girlish.

Comfy chairs for pedicure sessions.

There was not much time allocated for us here so we were told that we could only get one or two of our nails done instead of the entire set. So here’s me, getting my nail art done.

My husband joined the fun too and get his done too. Here’s us, fingers intertwined. 😉 A note on their service: A first class service with attentive staff and nail artists. Highly recommended and a must visit if you’re into nail arts. Will be writing more about them soon, you can count on it.

By the time we are done with our nail art at the nail spa, we were famished and headed over to the food court in the vicinity of the Klang Parade Mall to fill up our tummy. It was about 8.00pm.

The Next Food Junction. There was plenty of stalls in the food court, separated into two, the Halal section and the Non-Halal section.

The non-Halal section

I’ll be frank with you. The food court is rather disappointing in terms of food availability and service. Service is rather slow at the Halal section even though it was not really crowded. I suppose the staff was not really trained in handling the crowd yet, especially the drinks stall. Customers were not ushered to wait at one side of the counter for their drinks after taking their orders. Instead, they were allowed to wait in queue, resulting in massive queues and long wait by other customers in line who want to place orders. I seriously think this ought to be rectified.

Some of the stalls were also already out of food by 8.00pm. 🙁 I wanted to have a go at the Japanese food and try their Bento set and sushi, but I was informed that they have no more rice and they are not going to cook anymore. Uhh…what? It was only 8pm and I assume the food court closes at 10pm when the mall closes. How could you not have cooked to cater more diners? It’s really a shame, so I had chicken rice at their neighbouring stall instead.

Taste- wise, the chicken rice was mediocre. Portion wasn’t that big. Nothing to complain, nothing to shout about either. Price-wise…it was economical and affordable.

While the experience at the food court was not so pleasant in terms of food availability and service, I have no other complaints. It is nice to note that Klang Parade divide the halal and non halal section and I noticed that cleanliness is top notch. Having said that, I am grateful nevertheless that I managed to get my tummy filled.

After dinner we proceed to the Upin and Ipin meet and greet and had photography session there. My son had loads of fun meeting the animated characters live, and our nights ends there.

Overall… We had loads of fun, and I suppose I will be visiting again to check out what else they have to offer in Klang Parade Mall. I have yet to explore the entire mall yet…and I’m looking forward to spend time with my family there again.

Glittering Christmas Wonderland at Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur

by Cleffairy // December 11, 2014 // 4 Comments

I visited PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur last week and was pleased to discover that the Lobby at PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur was transformed into a glittering wonderland with children and adults anticipating the family-themed Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

The Festive season at PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur was welcomed by hotel guests, corporate clients, The Alice Smith School carollers and children from the Stepping Stones Living Centre at the hotel’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This event also signified the initiation of their annual fundraising campaign in aid of Stepping Stones Living Centre.

The ceremony began with The Alice Smith School carollers taking centre stage with ‘Frosty the Snowman’ which caught the attention of the little ones especially. Santa Claus and his Santarinas was seen going around greeting guests with candies and chocolates from Santa’s red sack. The Alice Smith School then got the Christmas mood going with ‘White Christmas’, ‘Rudolf’, ‘Jingle Bel s’ and ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’. The evening continued with Mr. Mark Losi, General Manager of PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur welcoming and thanking everyone for being present to witness the eventful occasion.

Launching the fundraising campaign, Mr. Losi made the first contribution towards Stepping Stone Living Centre. Stepping Stones Living Centre was founded in 1998 by Pastor Johnson. It was set up to take care of children, single mothers and senior citizens from needy and broken homes. The children would like to have new uniforms, shoes and clothes for the New Year. To fulfil their Christmas wishes, contributors can choose an envelope from our Christmas tree at the lobby. Each envelope has a child’s name, their wish and the value of each item. Just donate the amount stated into the envelope and drop it into the donation box right next to the Christmas tree. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, diners will be entitled to a lucky dip at RM20 per person. Proceeds will be channelled towards Stepping Stones Living Centre. Your generous contributions will ensure a memorable Christmas and New Year for these children.

Together with Christina, a nine-year-old girl from Stepping Stones Living Centre, they then lit up the Christmas tree, officiating the beginning of ‘A Family Christmas Affair’ festivities at PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur.

The Christmas tree was brightly lit up with white LED lights by Mr. Losi and Christina using a silver wand.By the tree was a sliver sleigh and four glittering reindeers stocked with Christmas goodies. The ceremony continued with the children of Stepping Stones Living Centre singing classic Christmas carols such as ‘Joy to the World’ and ‘Away in a Manger’. They were then treated to a delectable buffet dinner before making their way home.

Corporate clients were also invited to dine to a Christmas Family Buffet Dinner at Chatz Brasserie, where generous choices of dishes were prepared for them. Among them were Roasted Turkey with Bread Stuffing and served with Giblet and Cranberry Sauce, Roasted Sirloin with Green Peppercorn Sauce, Grilled Seafood, Christmas Fruitcake, Cranberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Log Cake and Mince Pie, e43das well as exquisite selections from the newly-opened Kurata Japanese Fine Dining.

Get the First Whiff of Romance with Enchanteur Paris

by Cleffairy // December 10, 2014 // 2 Comments

To date, I’m married for 12 years, but I learned things the hard way not to take things for granted when it comes to relationships. Marriage can be quite boring and routine, so I make it a point to not stop dating with my husband. I learned how to say yes to my husband’s suggestion more than no these days and I feel much more connected to him than ever, against all odds. 🙂

Regardless of how busy and packed our schedule are, my husband and I still try to make time for each other. More often than not, we go for teatime break together…or a dinner date during the weekdays. I may not say it out loud, but I do appreciate him making effort to spend quality time with me every now and then.

Surprise lunch visit or dinner dates…we do often. But movie dates is pretty much rare as we usually just turn on some movies and cuddle up to watch it in the comfort of our own home.

And so, when I received complimentary TGV Cinema tickets for the newly released movie, Penguins of Madagascar; couple seats, no less, courtesy of ENCHANTEUR Malaysia, I was thrilled. This means I have an excuse to have a movie date with my husband. It’s been awhile since we actually watched movie together. 🙂

ENCHANTEUR Malaysia not only sent me movie tickets, but three bottles of their newly launched perfume for me to wear while I’m on a date with my husband. 🙂

I immediately felt giddy and all excited for my movie date. 😉 Feeling like a princess that day, I dolled up and sprayed on one of the perfume, so that my husband could get a whiff of me. 😉

The perfume, smells nice, to be honest. It uplift my mood and made me feel romantic. If you’re not familiar with the brand, I can assure you that ENCHANTEUR is one of the leading mass market fragrance brands and it is well known to evolve with time in not just developing enticing new fragrances but also enhances its reach and engagement with the consumers.

Famed for its French inspired fine fragrances that ignite the flames of romance, ENCHANTEUR launched an advertising campaign which will tease the senses as part of its new fragrance introduction.

For the first time ever Malaysians will get to experience a multi-sensorial commercial that will evoke the senses by way of “Sight”, Sound” and “Smell”.

Audiences are now able to get a whiff of the fragrance being promoted as soon as the commercial is played in the cinema. This advertising campaign will be promoting the newly launched ENCHANTEUR PARIS EDT Fashionista and the commercial will be running for the next 3 months till February next year. Consumers can catch it at selected TGV Cinemas. So yes…my husband and I managed to get a whiff of the perfumes during our movie date last Saturday. 🙂 It was indeed a pleasant experience.

eWana FM, More Than Just a Radio

by Cleffairy // December 9, 2014 // 4 Comments

When I was a little girl, my ambition was to be one of these three:

1. A doctor
2. A journalist
3. A deejay

I never did became a doctor or a deejay, I’m afraid, but I did pursue my tertiary education in Mass Communication and became a journalist for a short period of time. I suppose, someway…somehow…I did realize my childhood dreams, even for a short while.

Funny how life turns out…but no complains there. I’m now a writer in my own rights and I’m grateful and contented with all the blessings that I have in my life.

God is great and gave me what I want occasionally in His own way and terms. I may not be a doctor or a deejay, but He gave me friends who are deejays. 😉

Here’s a picture taken a few days ago in eWana FM, during a surprise birthday celebration for Kos Serani a.k.a DJ Koz, designer cum deejay.

eWana FM is a place that I consider a home away from home. A place that is more than just a radio; where I get to connect with a lot of awesome people in the media and entertainment industry.

The people on the photos…they are deejays, models and media practitioners. 🙂

From the surface, one would have the impression that the people in the industry are cocky and unapproachable, but the truth is far cry from people’s common perception. I have the privilege to get to know the models, the artists, the deejays and whatnot personally and I assure you that they are not only easily approachable, but friendly to boot as well. So yes…never judge a person from their appearances or their job, and never stereotype them for whatever reasons.

Anyway, eWana FM is going through a major revamp for their show segments and whatnot. It will indeed be more than just an online radio as soon, the listeners would be able to watch their favourite deejays live while they are on air via live TV stream. 🙂 Cool, huh?

My friend DJ Koz here will resume his show in eWana FM soon, and guess what?

He is looking for guests who are interested to be interviewed on his show! So…if you have something to promote; doing business etc and is looking for good, clean publicity whatsoever, you may contact https://ewana.fm or directly contact DJ Koz at +60 16-278 1412 to be one of the guests on the show. 😉

The listeners will not only be able to listen to you, but could see you as well!
I daresay it would be a good exposure for you…and if you’re ever there in eWana FM and would like to get to meet me in person and get to know me,just give me a holler and perhaps I could go over and we could go for a cuppa or two. 😉

MyNasi , Midvalley Kuala Lumpur

by Cleffairy // December 7, 2014 // 3 Comments

It’s a yet another working night for my husband, but one got to eat and fuel up before slaving at work for the rest of the night, so we meet half way for dinner as there one perfect place is the vicinity of Midvalley where busy urbanites could have quick but wholesome local delicacies in one go, MyNasi.

The restaurant practices self-service concept and is quite small for my dining in- standard, but I guess it is all right, as it’s mostly catered to busy working people who wants to have a quick takeout.

The restaurant is newly opened, and here’s what my husband and I managed to sample.

MyNasi, Mee Rebus, Mee Siam, MyLaksa with Cockles, Assorted Side Dishes, Taufu Telur and Otak-Otak Muar.

Their specialty, is of course, their assorted selection of Nasi Lemak. The one that we tried is this, MyNasi set (RM10.90) with whole chicken thigh. As usual, it’s served with a side of sambal, fried anchovies, peanuts and a a slice of boiled eggs. The coconut rice was very rich with coconut milk taste with fluffy texture. The sambal is a tad too mild for me and I thought it should be better if it’s much spicier, but if you’re busy at work and looking for a comforting meal that will not hurt your tummy, then you will feel that this level of spiciness is just nice. The chicken was adeptly fried and have a hint of lemongrass taste in it. Not exactly the authentic kind of nasi lemak you usually get on the sidewalk, but good enough for me.

MyLaksa with Cockles (RM8.90) is actually rice noodles served with thick, creamy curry, topped with condiments like blanched beansprouts, fried tofu, a slice of halved boiled egg, chives, cockles and of course, sambal. Honestly, although I like the texture of the thick rice noodles, the curry is way too creamy and milky for me and the sambal was really mild instead of spicy. Personally, would like a less rich version where you could savor the curry taste, but like I said, the restaurant cater to busy working individuals who needs a quick meal. And this sort of food would just settle their tummy during lunch of dinner without upsetting their tummy.

Mee Rebus (RM8.00). Yellow noodles served with spicy tapioca gravy with condiments. The usual suspects like fried tofu, boiled eggs, blanched beansprouts is of course there. The texture of the noodles is all right. The tapioca gravy was rich and flavourful. It would have overwhelm those who are not familiar with strong tasting food, but this one’s quite all right for me.

Mee Siam (RM8.00). Rice vercimille served with sweet, spicy and savoury sauce. This dish was one of my favourite that night. The dish was not only aromatic but it is positively, sinfully delicious. Could easily tempt me for a second helping, I assure you.

Fried Chicken Wings (RM3.50) per piece. Adeptly fried and flavourful. Nice to have on it’s own as a snack or as a side dish to a plate of nasi lemak.

Additional side dishes like breaded fried fish, fried fish, chicken luncheon meat, chicken sausages etc can be ordered separately. Price per piece of these is Rm2 and above.

The house special, Taufu Telur (RM7.90) is practically the star of the night. It’s merely a smooth tofu fried in omelete style, drizzled with sweet soya sauce and topped with shredded cucumber and carrots, but this humble dish is delicious enough to warrant a second or third helping. Highly recommended and a must try if you dine in MyNasi.

Otak-Otak Muar and other snacks is also available for you to enjoy, but I can’t comment much on those as I did not try it out.

Overall, the dining experience here in MyNasi Midvalley is decent. The food here is not really authentically spicy for Malaysian standard, but you’d find it enjoyable to eat nevertheless, especially if you are looking for something warm, quick and wholesome to eat.

To Each It’s Own

by Cleffairy // December 7, 2014 // No Comments

Cheesy fried banana have been quite a rave on the social media these days, and I could always see people posting pictures of it with positive caption attached to it. As usual, I would jump in the bandwagon and give it a try too, after all, the cheesy fried bananas people are raving about looks absolutely delicious. I couldn’t possibly resist the temptation so a couple of days ago, when I was walking with my husband in the night market and saw a stall selling these, I just make a grab at it. My husband have a sweet tooth and he wanted to try it too…so…why not…

We bought a set of it at RM5. There were a lot flavours being sold, chocolate, Oreo, rice chocolates etc but we decided to stick to the original cheesy flavour.

The bananas was fried to perfection before being drizzled with condensed milk and topped with grated cheddar cheese.

But as interesting as it looks, this dessert is not to our liking. It tasted absolutely weird to me and to him too. The combination wasn’t exactly appealing to my palate. It’s too sweet and I must say that I prefer the good old original fried bananas with no toppings whatsoever on it.

Well, I guess I won’t be buying these ever again…to each it’s own and whatever everyone else thinks tasted nice, doesn’t necessarily mean will suit me.
