Birthday Surprise yang EPIC @ Chemistry Cafe (again???)

A very last minute plan (not even a plan) to make a date with my bff Ija sempena her birthday today. Tak sampai ati pulak tengok ada kawan kita yang tak tiup lilin kek on her birthday eventhough die x kesah pon..  So, we decided to chill at Chemistry Cafe as she was kinda crave for the cakes that i used to upload in my blog..Ms Shasha (cafe owner)..please note that my friend ni is the 4th batch yang diintroducekan ke cafe u ni tau..;)))..agak2 i layak dapat food voucher tak??? ngeeee... 

Without Ija's knowledge, while ordering, i requested for the barista to throw a surprise birthday singing with a single lilin on top of its best seller - Reese Peanut Butter Choc Cake..dengan confidentnye cashier girl tanya "u nak after main course ke? u duduk meja mane?..takut tersilap bagi.." Dah settle bayar.. chit chat la dengan Ija while waiting for our food & drinks to be served..Surprisingly, dengan selambanya they served the cakes (which are supposed to be surprised with the candle on top)..gerammm ni..hasrat nak buat surprise dah terkantoi dgn waitress2 tu..so I decided to berterus terang.."Ala Ija..so sorry.. these cakes were supposed to be a surprise to you..budak2 ni tak alert lah..lupe lah tu dah ramai sangat orang..huhu"...Ija replied "no wonder la you gave that kind of look tadi..haha..better not..ko jangan bagi malu aku"...hahaha...so we deal with it.. but few minutes later datanglah another waitress yang dengan muka ala2 membuat lakonan plastik ke table kami "excuse me, kek ni dah tersalah hantar " and terus grab the cake menuju ke belakang counter... we both looked at each other and burst into laughters...Alahai..dah kantoi, they tried to counter back to make the surprise still happening as requested earlier... "ko buat2 surprise je la Ija"..hahahah..

The moment of truth when we heard them singing "Happy birthday to you..." (mase ni Ija dah ready nak buat2 muka plastik yang surprise kot).. then, the singing stops..alaaa..lilin pulak padam..lari pulak waitress2 tu ke belakang nak nyalakan lilin balik.. and again we both gelak cam giler!!..Their second attempt to surprise berjaya jugak akhirnya..tapi lilinnya masih padam so nyalakan je lah atas meja...hahha..Wahhh..above all the kekantoian..the whole cafe patrons were singing & clapping along for Ija..Sangat EPIC lah your surprise ni Ija..I bet you're going to remember this at least sampai your next birthday ye..hahah..

Credit to all baristas!! Despite of the surprise failures, you girls still make an effort for making this happened & happening!! THANK YOU... 

 Luckily, they didn't go out of stock..Ritz Zainal, sila cube datang lagi...

 Semua menu creamy & berlemak!! Hot classic Vanilla, Reese Peanut Butter Cake, Charcoal Crepe Cake, Chicken Carbonara

Happy Birthday to this strong lady whom I know raising her lovely daughter alone.. May you get all you desire.  With a new year of your journey, shall come more challenges, opportunities and greater success.  May Allah bless you!

Chilling Down @ Chemistry Cafe

After a hot, fiery & tense dinner at ROA, we decided to extend our MAKAN event in another place..lagipun perut masih tak kenyang-kenyang lagi (this is very bad rapport when you're supposed to make people kenyang ok!!)..To chill my friends down, i suggested Chemistry Cafe to end up our day out with coffee & some light meals (light keee???)..This is my 3rd batch of friends yang dibawa ke cafe ni since i'm pretty sure that they will love it as much as I do!! Walaupun lokasinya sangat lah berdekatan dengan Restoran ROA tadi entah macam mana we decided to drive our cars sampai lebih lambat dari jalan kaki akibat busy cari parking..Hahahhaah!!  Its pay-day babe!! After seating, everyone was pretty excited as everything in the cafe is designed and ornamented to the likes of a Chemistry Lab...si Seni je kot yang kenal & tau nama2 radas dalam Lab ni..Dengan perut yang masih partially lapar, order mengorder pon bermula..the average price for meals, desserts & beverages is between RM8 - RM11..memang berbaloi lah dengan portion, rasa & the most important is TAK TENSION nak makannya!!!

Seafood Carbonara ni memang berlemak dengan heavy cream!! Tasted better with more paprica sprinkled on top!!

 One of the best seller - Chocolate Reese peanut butter cake...simply satisfy your sweet tooth!!

 Lusciously delicious beef lasagna..

After an espresso and a latte, we didn't want another coffee, so we opted for this fruity milkshake called Chemical Reaction!!..caution..very addictive..However, we forgot to do the chemistry stirring method in which you need to hold the flask and swirl in circles... 

 Muka-muka kepuasan.. lesson learnt - lidah kita ni memang lidah mat salleh girls...jangan nak manado sangat!!

We do have great chemistry!! Till we meet again in another MAKAN event!!!

"Berasap" di ROA by Jovian Mandagie

Eversince its launches few weeks ago..i can't wait to favor the menadonese delicacies offered in here.. tekak ni dah terbiasa dengan nasik padang & selera jawa or sunda..so i wondered how the menadonese would taste like..?? since bff ku from KK - Seni dah kembali ke semenanjung, we took this chance to meet up together with Ruzi & Marina & macam biasa agenda utamanya ialah MAKAN..Makanya, eateries yg tgh trending ni jadi pilihan..Jovian Mandagie whose family's roots stretch back to Manado is a well known fashion designer turned to f&b entrepreneur recently by opening an upscale Indonesian-themed restaurant in Seksyen 7 Shah Alam..the  rest name is ROA - bukanlah akronim but according to the friendly and  pleasant manager - Ms Hasnidah is a type of fish..jenuh pikir ROA tu hape rope2nye ikan..selepas menyelak 10 kali menu card yang sangat trendy itu (menu on chopping board), we must admit that we didn't  have any idea on what to eat as we didn't familiar with the lists.. with the help from Ms Hasnidah, she suggested the signature Sup Sayur Asam (Jovian's favourite & hidangan paling mahal RM25) ROA sambal, Daging Sapi Sere & the super hot Ayam Rica Rica & dessert  Ais Kacang ..bila tiba hidangannya, i was quite shocked to see the small portion  of the nasi (about half cup) on the plate..apa ingat aku tgh diet "nasi segenggam" Kevin Zahri lagi ke??sedangkan jenuh skip lunch semata nak makan busat time dinner malam ni.. ROA sambal tu biase la ambik pon small size which cost RM10 sepiring, Ayam Rica Rica tu ada lah 4 ketol 1 bowl (so kami ambik la seketoi sorg), cuma sup asam tu nampak sedikit memberangsangkan bile dipersembahkan dalam mangkuk besar (maklumlah RM25) tapi bila bukak..alahai macam masak bening je, ade lah sayur ape ntah la dengan tomato & few slices of ikan kayu kot..name pon sup asam..so rasanye memang termasam masam lah..kata manager customer biasa sampai repeat order..tapi kami yang champion makan ni pun tak habes...what the...?? Ayam Rica Rica tu memang epik sebab sambalnya tersangatlah Hot to death tau..sampai naik tension makan.. macam2 perkataan keluar tatkala menikmati makanan yang sepatutnya nikmat malam tu...sambal menyusahkan la.. sambal nak bunuh orang la...hahaha...memang tragedi sunggoh rasenye..Si Seni yang dah terbiasa dengan sabahan food yang tak pedas memang dah rupa macam nak pengsan!!! (Omaigad).. macam2 cara kami suruh die buat..minum air panas, makan kek, minum Ais Kacang yg rase milo semata..huhuhu...ooh ya.. we expect the dessert tasted equally like those es teller selling in jakarta street tau..but end up macam shaved iced bubuh milo je..overall experience  was like a disaster.. maybe the menadonese food didn't  go well with our taste buds plus the super fiery hot taste almost kill our appetite. .the only thing  that we enjoyed on the table was the wondermilk cake ehsan meja sebelah who's coincidentally  celebrating  birthday..Total damaged was RM86.00...emmm..alahai sorry Jovian.. in this short time, i dont intend to revisit..tapi mungkin ada menu-menu lain yang lebih bagus kot..some other time perhaps after memori berasap dapat dilupakan....
P/s : credit to the interior deco..they really put much effort on this..

Breakkie @ Restoren Merah TTDI Shah Alam

This morning dah plan nak service kereta and first thing came in my mind was the place for me to hang around while waiting for my car to get serviced..simply because i hate to stay in the workshop yang panas, berdebu, berminyak and for sure i'll get berpeluh..lainlah workshop yang ada air-conditioned waiting room siap sofa, wifi sambil2 boleh bancuh kopi, makan aiskrim, biskut & maggie mee bagai ..ehh overnye..ade ke?? Yupp..i once attended to this kind of workshop somewhere in penang..At last pergilah satu workshop area TTDI Shah Alam and most importantly berdepan dengan Restoren Merah.. my last visit was somewhere in the year 2000 kot.. restoren ni memang wajib for me and friends to drop by for lunch since they offered lines of lauk pauk plus yang bestnya siap ade aneka jenis bubur/pengat.. teringat pengat pisang & duriannya..Breakfast line pon boleh tahan juga dengan pilihan nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, pulut kuning, laksa, laksam, lontong etc.. and of course nasi kerabu menjadi pilihan dengan lauk paru goreng, ikan tongkol & solok lada versi goreng (first time tengok & rasa sebab ingatkan begedil).. alhamdulillah..heavy breakkie which cost me RM7.70 macam ni..i will definitely skip my lunch lah jawabnya!!

Ritz @ Chemistry Cafe

Baru ingat taknak makan malam hari ni but suddenly my bff Ritz called and said he's on the way to chemistry cafe sek 7 shah alam!!..memang takde chemistry sunggoh dgn program2 diet ni..huh.. as we arrived, i ordered one of their signature ice blended drink "Monster Oreo" since i was into espresso-choco craved..Ritz yg dlm mode kelaparan kebingungan nak makan apa since this cafe only offered limited entres... ade la few selection of pastas.. lastly he goes for carbonara sambil mengomel i membongakkan die..udah ku bilang yg cafe ni is an after-meal cafe where you would only drop by for coffee & cakes or perhaps pastries.. ooohh..earlier i requested for waffle malangnya waffle maker pulak rosak (errrr... baru lagi kot cafe ni)..nampaknya belom rejekiku menjamah waffle2 yg kelihatan menggoda itu..so we had that last slice of butterscotch cake for dessert..their best-sellers were all sold out!! Tengah2 syok sembang the barista approached & apologise that they ran out of spaghetti so the only one left they could offer was lasagna..so nak taknak terpaksalah si Ritz ni setuju sambil molot tak berenti mengomel kata aku membongakkan die lagi & tak pasal2 si barista terpaksa mendengar leteran die yg kunun jauh2 datang semata nak try food kat sini.. dengan rasa bersalah..berkali kali minta maaf & siap bawak 1 slice of choc peanut butter crepe kek yg lazat for free...memang lazat pon..i wondered how many layers of crepes they made to form into cake...alhamdulillah...bukan pasal kek free semata, what's more is budi bahasa dari seorang anak melayu yang dah jarang2 saya lihat..sampai kami berangkat pergi pon masih minta maaf..inilah ilmu "human skill" yang tak terdapat dalam mana-mana buku service quality pun..melainkan dipelajari dengan hati yang ikhlas & suci....

Cuba Try Test

Hahah....feeling wonderful that now i have downloaded blogger for mobile through appstore..(maafkan la newbie ni ye..).. am pretty sure that most of the post will be done via smart phone kann??..so sesaje la try test..

BLOG Again???

I do not know why am i getting obsessed over blogging these days?? Bukan sibuk tengok blog orang pon..tapi creating blogs of my own..hahaha..previously (long long time ago......) i have created one.. adrenaleenhassan.blogspot..tapi dah bersawang tahap villa nabilla gamaknya!! until todate..i only posted 2 posts and my bff Ritz yang sangatlah rajen menghupdate "Salam Mesra" nya always taking troll on this matter.. Recently, through over-blog, i managed to create one..tapi macam takde follower je walaupun visitor agak memberangsangkan..(ratus2 la jugak)...maybe over-blog ni kurang popular kot..ntah lah.. as i am not IT literate person, i do not know which is which..hantam sajelah labu!! So long as it is practical, not complicated, user friendly and updatable via smartphone dah cukup baik!!.  And accidentally today, while browsing on detox drinks through azlita masam manis yang follower dah berpuluh ribu tu..i saw this tiny caption "Create Blog" maka lahirlah blog ke 3 ku "lantaimizzpinky.blogspot.com"..address lebih kurang sama dengan over-blog..my bff Najiha said that mizzpinky sounded soo gedik as I am obviously not kind of.. malas nak pikir nama ape dah sebenornye and i always associate myself with "pink karer" and bila sebut pinky2 ni terus teringat karya popular "Lantai T. Pinkie" nukilan Sasterawan Negara Datuk A. Samad Said..so cedoklah sikit..kununnya nak berkarya jugak lah dalam blog ni.  Well.. i guess i'm here for sharing my experience especially on food and travel as i enjoy both very very much and it might be the right place for me to improve my writings..so Insyaallah i'll see you in my next post (hopefully...:-P). Terimalah gambarku yang bajet paling comel ni...
