Ohayoo

Still stuck on day 1 of the japan trip!!! 

Ohayo

It's a pretty late post but hello!
I went on a trip to Japan during December last year, and even though it wasn't my first trip there, i was really taken aback by the serenity and beauty of the countryside areas of Fukuoka.
I can't really describe it in the form of words, how do i put it? It felt almost ..dream-like. Think muted colours and slow movements, think of it like a soft Gaussian blur has been applied.

I'm guessing it must be the mixture of cold air and warm sunlight that made my trip really memorable and especially nostalgic.

 

Kalorie

 

So, i haven't had a real cupcake in years now, considering how cupcakes nowadays are WAYYY too overpriced for me. I was pleasantly surprised when i had friends telling me that delifrance cupcakes were priced at only $2.80 each. I went ahead and bought just two pieces, oreo cream cheese and a chocolate supreme or something. And here is my thought... how can anyone eat one cupcake and not feel the horrible guilt! Just sinking my teeth into the creamy pile of calorie induced nightmare was just... too much for me to take. Luckily i had a cold glass of honey citrus tea to wash away the sin.... 
Cupcakes with pretty frosting and yummy colors looks pretty and all, but the cream was just... i guess i am no cupcake person. That said, i shall stick to my muffins and sponge cakes :)

Kwan's

Part 3 of my KL photo diary, as you can see, it's food again! We decided to go posh on the last day and had a lunch at mdm kwan's in KL CC. The food was really good and worth the price, with its large portions and we also ordered different dishes to share. Ended the meal with a cup of hot lemon tea with a small beaker of honey. Almost perfect to end the holiday.

Mango Feast!

Was at the pavilion mall in KL and we stopped by for an afternoon dessert at a HK dessert shop located near the top of the building. And man, the food we had was so good, and i really wanted to get a second portion of it. There was the mango feast, and we had cold mango ice cream served with coconut pudding noodles, iced cold mango sago and icy melon and coconut dessert, perfect for beating the horrible 38 degree heat.

Getaway

Went for a short getaway to Kuala Lumpur with my family, while the city was not very exciting and the traffic was chaos, i really enjoyed spending time with my parents and i guess the highlight of the trip was really getting to be with my them. The bus 6 hour bus ride, although a huge turn off for the three of us, i did enjoy the scenic views of the rural villages, vast palm tree plantations, mountainous regions and rare sightings of cows atop of green hills munching away the late afternoon. Other than the lousy traffic systems and messy layout of the city, the food was cheap and rather good i must say. More to come soon!
