As I write my last post for 2013, I did a bit of thinking and reflection for the year that it was. 2013 was a successful year for the Bangsar Babe brand (read Jien’s year-end notes here) but it was a rather challenging year for me, career and relationships wise.…
Snacks
My first taste of Oreo was at age 14, when a classmate offered me one. One bite and I was hooked. Back then, Kraft was giving out a free pencil case for every 2 packets purchased. Mine was yellow. rif broke it in that same week. I was so mad…
30 minutes. That’s the duration one is required to wait for a chocolate fondant. But 30 minutes before you can eat a mochi? I’ve never heard of that before. Mochi is a Japanese rice cake of chewy dough, made from pounded glutinous rice and filled with something sweet. It tastes…
The Beer Factory has a new outlet at Setiawalk in Puchong, with a different theme from their Sunway Giza and Scott Garden outlets – Warzone. Designed give customers a feel of the theme, the bar/restaurant boasts military barracks along the side, cordoned off areas and human targets with bullet holes.…
It was a chance encounter, this shop. rif and I were walking along Telawi street yesterday when we (more like he did) spotted this brightly lit shop along Jalan Telawi 3 — Salon Du Chocolat. That boy spots chocolate shops better than he spots my new haircut or new outfit.…

Yau Char Kwai/You Tiao is one of those simple snacks people enjoy eating, especially with porridge. It is a long strip of dough, deep-fried until golden brown and commonly made in a pair. I used to love eating it as a kid, simply because I could tear it into two.…
I don’t recall ever ordering tea on any airline; it has always been coffee (or a Bloody Mary). See, I’ve never been a tea person unless the tea I’m drinking is Teh Tarik, Teh Ais or Bubble Tea. The last time I had bubble tea was 4-5 years ago at…
Shake, shake, shake, shake, uh…shake it! No…I’m not shaking my booty (or lack of). I’m talking about Snö, shake it your way! rif and I spotted this kiosk while walking around the food court in Pavilion KL. While the colour pink generally doesn’t appeal to me, I was attracted to…
Pan Mee with Minced Pork I took half the day off last Friday and followed rif to Mid Valley for some last minute Christmas shopping. Timing was horrible; the mall was crowded and I was down with a flu and running nose. Since I was craving for a big bowl…
