Fat Spoon Cafe, Damansara Utama

During semester break a month ago, ze boyf suggested to head to Fat Spoon Cafe located in Damansara Utama for lunch. Apparently it's a business started by boyf's sister's friend. in other words, high school senior.

It is a one of its kind cafe with its tagline 'Grandma Recipes + Good Coffee', with a dash of vintage atmosphere and decoration, bliss and memories.

1. PUSH. 

you'll be greeted with this door handle before entering the cafe. 

cute. (: 

2. 'grandma's recipes + good coffee' (Y)

3. MENU!.

yeap the menu. 

I used to have the EXACT SAME BOOK.

4. items on the menu. 

5. Black Board. 

reminds me of the black boards during primary school days.

6. part of the decoration

unique. (: 

not much ppl will think of using pots and pans even food containers as decoration.

7. love the lights. 

now moving on to the food shall we? (;

8. FAT Hot Chocolate

rich chocolate taste in a fat cuppa. yumms.

a must have. 

9. Spicy Beef Macaroni Soup. 

it's a tid bit too spicy for me thou. 

BUT. it's yumms. 

love the tender beef slices. prefect match with the spiciness.

10. another view of Spicy beef macaroni soup. 

*taken from fat spoon facebook page*

tempting eih? :P

11. Moo moo burger

served on a chopping board. 

it ain't the ordinary beef burger patties.

it is slices of tender beef. 

flavorful. 

12. Lastly, 'We are pork free!'

suitable for everyone.

instead of the usual hang out coffee shops, why not try Fat Spoon for a change? 

there's only these few items on the menu that we tried because there was only two of us. 

heard that their 'Perut Ikan Rice', 'Ulam Fried Rice' and 'Flat White' is quite a catch.

affordable prices and vintage ambience, +1!. 

location: 73, Jalan SS21/1A Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

how've you been? + bday shoutout

Few days ago, Monday to be exact, Winnee asked if I want to go for Ah Yong's restaurant thingy i dont know what it is called exactly. but yeah. it's part of his practical throughout his studies in KTAR. so yea. We went together with Chia  Hui and Xi Shun.

We kinda got lost while looking for the restaurant. LOL. And it was our 1st time attending such event.

1. Table Setting

2. Chia Hui

3. Xi Shun

3. Winnee

love the stare. :P

4. Cream of dragon fruits served with garlic bread

it taste soo much like mushroom soup. pizza hut style. 

you can barely taste the existence of dragon fruit.

5. Grilled prawn and fish with Hollandaise sauce and mixed vegetables

somewhat. took us sometime to figure out. 

it taste quite like Otak-Otak. LOL

6. Caesar Salad

they went a lil overboard with the croutons. 

it was too burnt that the taste actually spoil the salad. it tasted bitter. :/ and. ahah. too much cheese. 

too much cheese + mayo = too much saltiness. 

7. Baked chicken Maryland with rice pilaf,saute auburgine,broccoli and cauliflower

The sauce and rice was okay. but. not the chicken maryland. sorry. 

8. some longan dessert. 

didn't get the name properly. *shy

but I was filled to nicely enjoy it.

coffee / tea

cost for the meal = RM 14, 

cost for hanging out with friends = PRICELESS.

Although we're all in the same University, it's been quite sometime since we've met each other. except for Winnee and I laa we're in the same class. 

This happens to high school and primary school friends. How've you guys been? (: Manage to get back in touch with few of you and it felt really good. 

Everyone's been busy with their agendas and we've all grown apart. as for the others. it's been sometime.

Balls and All

HOLLA!.

The other day Stephanie msn to ask if I was interested to attend a food review on Balls and All. At first I was like. WHATTT?? it sounded kinda wrong lah okay. balls. ROFL.

after she explained what Balls and All is about, without hesitation I said yes. Ask my housemates to accompany me.

Balls and All is NEW in Kampar. Its an Italian fast snack. You must be thinking.

Italian + snack = ??  errrr.. weird?

it's traditional Italian food rolled into a ball shape, so that it can be served quickly and it's easy to carry around  as a snack or a quick meal. how convenient!.

in other words, it's MEATBALLS. delicious tender juicy meat balls. every single meatball served is hand rolled. topped with sauce of your choice. yumms. oh did i mention?  they uses “Italia recipes” to ensure the true italian taste in every single bite. 

1. the menu. 

2. clock wise from top right: 

 Riso Alle Erbe Aglio (Garlic Herb Rice) topped with pepper sauce; 

Parma PollePalle (Parma Chicken Ball)

& Arancini Risotto (Vege Ball) topped with Cheese sauce

personally love this combination. 

3. Aglio Pure di Patate (Garlic Mashed Potato) topped with Pepper Sauce

4. closer look at the Vege Ball. 

5. the inside of Chicken Ball. 

looking good eih?  

*credits to Stephanie

6. Italian Vegetable Soup

7. Polpette di carne di manzo ( Beef Meatballs )

my version of this wasn't nice. haha. *shy

8. Agnello Palle ( Lamb Balls )

another yummy choice. love the rich lamb taste. 

yumms.

9. Reward Card. 

10. the back of the reward card. 

you'll get a lil man face scribbled every time you visit there. then you'll get a reward. :D

easy peasy. 

Personally, I like the Chicken Balls and the Vege Balls. oh oh top it with CHEESE sauce!!. yumms. 

important note: DO NOT. i repeat. DO NOT. look down on the portion. 

11. Thank you dearies for keeping me company. :D

12. Thank for the invitation, Stephanie.

13. With the oh-so-friendly boss, Aven.

backward / forward?

true or false:

 the older you get, the wiser you'll be, the more mature you'll get. thus more emotional?

whoa. i'm updating so randomly. it must be an emo post. rawr.

yeap. it is. even the weather knows i'm emo-ing and decided to have the rain to accompany me. how thoughtful.

the same thing happened again as though it's deja vu spilling it out.

i started tearing the night before and again before leaving home. this time i can't blame examination stress because it's not examination time yet.

there're times when i was young, i wished to be away from home. and now 'wish come true', i don't wanna be away from home. ironic eih? 

i'm afraid of changes but heck that's life. however, it seems like i'm plunging backwards instead of moving forward. 

oh well. another half a year to go and i'm pretty sure i can do it. 

anyhow, i'm glad for a supportive boyf and friends, you know who you are. <3 

i've got to smile like this more often. :D

hint on next post. :P
