Taking a quick break from endless photos from my Greek holiday and decided to switch to something local for the time being.

Finally got a chance to stop by Strangers at 47 at Seksyen 17, Petaling Jaya after a short trip back to my high school. Had a tough time finding a parking space so mom ended up dropping me off to find a table and order some food while she started hunting for a spot to park her car.

Even from the outside of the place I could see that there are already quite a lot of people having their meals inside.



The place itself is a small, cozy one. Perfect for some catching up with friends. Probably a little noisy because of all that.





Got myself a Matchoc - from the name you could probably guess that it's half matcha and half chocolate, something which I've never tried (so it goes on my table).
It was a pleasant combination. The faint hint of matcha and the sweet chocolate goes surprisingly well together.



Me being incapable of posing that well. LOL.



For lunch, we've decided to share a plate of savoury crepe (high school carnival earlier, got myself some stuff to nom on and had some cendol too otw. oops) and for desserts, a sweet crepe.

It was so hard to pick one from the savoury crepe section! I wanted to try them all but there were only two of us (damn!).





Ended up going with Miss Dory (RM 20).

I never really had a savoury crepe on a plate like this before. The most I've had was those Shimino savoury crepes, all rolled up and ready to go. So, it was a nice experience.
The dory fillet was crispy on the outside but soft in the inside, just the way I like it. However, it is a little salty for me. And a bit on the spicy side (sriracha mayo lime I guess).





"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"

For dessert, I went with Spongebob's Crib (RM 10). Obviously because I'm a diehard Spongebob Squarepants fan. And I was craving for pineapples for no apparent reason. Pineapple custard, walnuts, salted caramel.. topped with a vanilla ice-cream. Delish! (Also, I wanted something with an ice-cream)

Actually, I was expecting something like a pineapple tower with a miniature Spongebob figurine. Hah!



Everything is priced quite fairly and I enjoyed the atmosphere there.
Photos taken with mom's iPhone6 on this impromptu trip. Will definitely come back here on a less busy day as parking spots are REALLY hard to find.

Long story short, I received an email from Nadeje inviting me to re-feature their awesome mille crepes!

I fell in love with Maroon 5 last year. I mean, I liked their songs before that but after Stereo Hearts and Moves Like Jagger, I'm totally in love with their songs.

If you're not familiar with Maroon 5, here's a photo of them:



Anyway, the band now consists of (from left to right) Matt Flynn, PJ Morton, Adam Levine, Michael Madden and James Valentine.



Maroon 5's newest album, Overexposed, was released on June 26, 2012. The featured songs include "Payphone" and "One More Night".





Previously, there were only Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Michael Madden and Ryan Dusick, who formed a band called Kara's Flowers. They were then joined by James Valentine.

Ryan Dusick left the band after some injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn. On March 2012, PJ Morton joined Maroon 5 after Jesse Carmichael went on hiatus.



Maroon 5's debut album, Songs About Jane, was released in 2002 and some of the songs in the album like "This Love" and "She Will be Loved" were quite popular then. And is still known to most now.







Their second album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, was released in 2007. "Makes Me Wonder" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other songs include "Won't Go Home Without You" and "If I Never See Your Face Again".







"Misery", "Never Gonna Leave this Bed", "Moves Like Jagger".. are these songs familiar to you? They are from Maroon 5's third album, Hands All Over. "Moves Like Jagger" had been one of my favorites since it was released as a single in 2011.





Now, the members. Let's go alphabetically.

ADAM LEVINE - lead vocalist and guitarist



Also a judge and coach for the American talent show, The Voice, Adam Noah Levine was born on March 18, 1979. To be frank, he has such a great voice. He was also featured in a few songs, such as "Heard 'em Say" (Kanye West), "Say It Again" (Natasha Beddingfield), "Bang Bang" (K'naan) and one of my favourites, "Stereo Hearts" (Gym Class Heroes).



JAMES VALENTINE - lead guitarist



James Burgon Valentine was born on October 5, 1978. He joined one or two bands before Maroon 5. He is currently the lead guitarist for Maroon 5.

MATT FLYNN - drummer



Matthew Flynn was born on May 23, 1970. He was supposed to be the substitute drummer for Maroon 5 after the previous drummer, Ryan Dusick left due to injuries. To be frank, drumming can get quite extreme sometimes.

MICHAEL MADDEN - bassist



Born on May 13, 1979, Michael Allen Madden is the bass guitarist for Maroon 5. According to an interview, his motto is ‘We have everything to gain and nothing to lose but boredom’, which is something I quite agree to.

PJ MORTON - keyboardist



Paul Morton Jr., born on March 29, 1981, stood in for Jesse Carmichael after the latter went on hiatus for his own reasons earlier this year. He was confirmed as an official member of Maroon 5 after that.



And, GREAT NEWS! They will be touring to promote their latest album, "Overexposed". They'll be here in Malaysia on 20 September 2012! ♥



Got myself admission tickets although there are only of regular class. I just can't wait!
