alive, well, and eating non-stop
Hey there, folks.
Yes, it’s been awhile, and I had intended to prolong the ’silence’ for even longer but I did promise angel, winn and ah seng that I’d post about the dessert place we went to last night. So here I am. But first things first, a little paragraph on what’s been happening over the last 6 months…
Let’s see… nothing much, really! Changed jobs, working harder, enrolled in a yoga teacher training course earlier in the year, taking a break from work and yogi-ing, enjoying life as it comes along, now on holiday in KL for a couple of weeks. Well, one week left, really. Time sure flies from the cuckoo’s nest even faster than you can say “tookie tookie”.
In the last week I’ve been devouring my favourite Malaysian food - prawn noodles, asam laksa, roti canai, roti bom, some local kueh, hokkien mee, cantonese-style noodles, dim sum, lor mai fann… I’m still waiting to sink my teeth into some chow kuey teow, Ipoh hor fun… what else am I missing?
Last night we (re: the trio and I) went to a cafe-style restaurant called Cinta Ria @ DJ. The food is pretty good, and it has its regular patrons. The biggest surprise was finding out that the place was opened by an ex-schoolfriend of mine, with her brother. It’s a small world after all! Really great to see them doing well.
A little in-your-face promotion here (and it’s voluntary, they didn’t twist my arm to do it!), try out their delicious nasi lemak which is their signature dish, amongst other delicious yum-yum dishes at:

After dinner, we went to My Honeymoon at 1 Utama where they served delectable desserts that would tickle your tastebuds. The place had an interesting wallpaper of books on shelves, and love the red seats and lamps which gave it a rather cosy ambience.
I had my first durian in 2 years, in the form of durian cake - pretty nice, and thank goodness I didn’t have durian breath after that. The other bowls of “tong sui” we had were good too, not too sweet, not too bland.
Well… one more week till I fly back to Sydney. Any suggestions on what else to eat to last me till my next visit home?
