[14/3/2005] Having a farewell dinner for our colleague LL. LL is leaving us today, she is going to start her exciting life in England very soon. Time flies, she has been working in our team for a year+. Chinese say “天下无不散之筵席” (All good things must come to an end), I guess it’s the time to say good bye.

We choose Luna Bar for the event because it’s near to our office; it’s just 5 minutes of walking distance. The bar located at the roof top of Pacific Regency Hotel Apartments, Menara PanGlobal. Luna Bar’s interior design is gorgeous, a swimming pool at the center, lighting is romantic, plus you get to see both KL Tower and Petronas Twin Tower, I wonder are there any other chill out places better than this?!

I admit that my photo shooting skill is damn poor; I didn’t manage to capture any nice photos. Please check out Tulan’s blog for the same event, he was using a SonyEricsson K750i phone for photo shooting.


Photo scanned from Luna Postcard, so sorry, I didn't managed to take a nice photos, see the following and you'll know.

We ordered 4 Pizzas, all thin crust. It took more than half and hour to prepare; thus I believe they are wood fire baked pizzas, it taste good (everything is tasting good when you're extremely hungry :D).

All the best LL, you'll not be forgotten, miss ya.

It has been 2 years I never have any McDonald's breakfast. I've missed it so much. I took Komuter train to work this morning, when I reach the Sentral Station, walk striaght down to McDonald's and take out a set of Sausage McMuffin with Egg value meal. It's still taste as great as before.

I usually order the Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal if I have McD breakfast. 2 years back when I still working for a Singaporen company, BlowWater and myself always have breakfast at McDonald's @ KLIA every flying Monday. We used to take 10:20AM flight, so normally we arrive the airport around 8:30AM, check in then breakfast. There is a problem in McDonald's KLIA, you hardly hear the airport announcement. There was a time we had our breakfast till late (we didn't know indeed), when we step out of the transit train at departure hall, an airport officer asked if we're going to Singapore and I answered "Yes" and he said, "Run!". Damn, BlowWater and I were running at 10km/h with the f**king heavy Compaq notebook to the departure gate.

I've no longer working wit the Singaporen company. therfore no more McD breakfast..

*Disclaimer: Tasting is very individual preference, I did not receive any benefits from McD, thus, it's fine if you do not agreed on what I've wrote up there.

Sunday 12/3/2005, I went to The Curve for my hair cut, then drive to Plaza Mont' Kiara for late lunch with SC. Bayou always my favourite place for cakes, I think Bayou serve the best cakes in KL.

Does the cafe ambient looks familiar to you? Yes, the lastest BRAND'S Essence of Chicken TV ad shoot in this place.

Let's see what we had for lunch:

Nyonya Laksa (RM17.95), yellow noddles served with chicken, prawn, bean sprout in spicy nyonya gravy, fantastic! 18 bucks for a bowl of laksa is pricy though.


Ice Mocha with Ice Cream (RM10,95), so so only, neither the coffee aroma nor the chocolate favour strong enough, DOME cafe serve better Ice Mocha with Ice Cream.


Spanish Chikita (RM11.90), my favourite cake.


Callucio (RM11.90) it's chocolate banana. If you think Secret Recipe's Chocolate Banana Cake is the best, then you must try Collucio, it's even better.


Zabalion (RM11.90) is one of the Bayou best selling desserts. Chocolate cake stuff with non-diary whip cream. Overall Bayou's cakes won't give you the fattening feel and it's not too sweet.

If you love dessert like I do, then Bayou is a place you should not missed!

KLCC is within walking distant from my office, we have our lunch at KLCC on Friday as usual. Went to Signatures Food Court, arive around 12:40pm and took us a while to find a place to sit, cos we are quite a big group, total of 9.


I have Big Mac Meal lunch, obviously McD has raise the price! Filet-O-Fish/McChicken/Chicken McNuggets/Double Cheeseburger Value Meal are pricing at RM6.95, Big Mac/Quarter Paunder with Cheese Meal Value Meal pricing at RM7.75 and Ayam Goreng McD/Spicy Chicken McDeluxe/Grilled Chicken Foldover Value Meal selling at RM8.75(not including tax, same as above). Wait a minutes, McD is raising 7% from the previous price?! How daring is McDonald's, the govt. only allowed 5% price up!

Anyway, McD still the cheapest meal you can get in Signatures Food Court(not official survey), a McChicken Meal is cheaper than Chicken rice + soft drink (RM7). Remember on my children day, McD was something expensive, we can only have it on special occasion. Can you imagine McD is the cheapest nowadays? Sound like our living style is closing to western country huh.. where fast food is cheapest.

As usual, Friday shopping after the lunch, to top up the stock for snacks, candy, chocolates.

My company is having a group birthday celebration whose birthday fall in February and March. Wan's birthday on Feb; Joey and Pasankia's birthday in March.

The company order the foods from a catering service, it's Malay style, these are some of the foods what we had:

I know Crabtree & Evelyn is an international retailer for outstanding personal care, toiletries and home fragrance products, but do you know this KL Kepong Bhd company does sell fine food? I did not know until I found these Crabtree & Evelyn Cookies at home. Obviously is a gift from someone.
