So I had had frequent dental appointments in Uptown and decided to check out a few cafes at the same time.
I figured that I should at least reward myself a little after going through all the pain and agony (extracting two teeth at one go is never a pleasing business).

I've been wanting to try Softsrve for the longest time ever, as almost all my friends had tried it multiple times and I felt so outdated. Ugh.
It was around 12pm and there weren't any other tables + it was during the month of Ramadhan so there weren't many people around, i.e. my sister and I, and two other staff.





Fun Fair (RM12), with oolongcha flavoured soft serve. We weren't really expecting the dry ice smoking effects as I thought that it was only for bestsellers.
It was cool though, and the popping candy really gave it the extra tingle.

Was craving for something sweet and looked for some options online. Found something interesting and we decided to try it out.

There are a few outlets but the Remicone we visited is located in Garosu-gil, one of the hipster areas in Gangnam. It was a little walk from Sinsa station but there are lots of interesting stores and items to check out along the way.



Located in a corner, not too obvious from the main street though. However, it is very near to H&M so keep an eye out!
Remicone serves unique ice-cream/desserts.
Thing is, the place was small and super crowded. They were slightly understaffed too. Maybe it had something to do with Kim Soo Hyun being in the area and the tens or maybe a hundred fans waiting outside of the event area.. :(

We decided to order off their specials menu as they are, well, special.
You could also choose to order soft serve with toppings, at different prices.



Hawaiian Beach (₩5,300), the shaved ice on top looks like an iceberg though. Surfboard was made of chocolate whilst the palm tree was made from plastic.



Another of Remicone's popular dessert, the Thunder Bomb (₩6,100).
Cotton candy was a little less fluffier than imagined, maybe because the workers were juggling multiple orders at once and it was quite crazy tbh.
Took it with milk flavoured soft serve and it was good.

Bit pricier than Milkcow but tastes nicer and more insta-worthy. Heh.

(we're getting there)

Was actually craving for waffles and ice-cream at Inside Scoop after we dropped by Second Sunday so.. here we are! (about 2-3 mins walk away)


Initially, we thought that Inside Scoop was closed because I remembered reading about it being closed every Wednesday or so.

I can't tell you how glad we were when we saw that they were open.

So, I visited the IOI City Mall at Putrajaya on Sunday. It is a new shopping mall. Turns out that it's quite happening and fun to shop at.

Just Like It, sounds kind of like my previous blog, "JuzLuvIt", which I deleted due to some issues.. Oh well, back to the point.

Went for a facial session on Sunday at Sunway Giza. And I lost a bet. So... to D' Italiane Kitchen it is.
Okay, this wasn't my first visit to the place as I fell in love with it since I was, what, 14?

I know some people have been giving negative comments on this contemporary Italian fine dining restaurant but perhaps the stuff I ordered were better? Or different chefs? Or it had improved over time?
I've visited this restaurant for a couple of times over the years but so far, so good. It was quite nice for me.



Played a while with the cutlery and place mats before our orders arrived..



There were only four of us and it included my brother who's just 8 and doesn't eat much, so we didn't order what we can't finish.



First up, appetizers!
Mozzarella in carozza - Mozzarella between panini, served with roma tomato sauce. Darn, it was awesome! Crispy, cheesy, lovely. Also, the tomato sauce gave it a not-so-dry kind of feeling so you won't end up with a parched throat. It's not too cheesy either, quite acceptable. We loved it.



And here comes our main courses.
Salmon alfredo, which is of course, salmon alfredo. You don't say?
Well, to be more specific, salmon in alfredo sauce, which is a sauce made of Parmesan cheese, garlic, butter, parsley and so on.. Google the recipe up if you're interested.

I'm a salmon lover and I'm happy with the salmon. The fettuccine was just the right taste and you won't feel too full even though you finished the whole plate. It is creamy but it isn't enough to make you feel bloated.



Guess what is it?



It's actually something related to a pizza called calzone. We were hesitating on which other main course to order and I saw a picture of this on the menu so why not have a try? I wasn't aware that the pizza had the shape of a curry puff.  We got quite a surprise there.

The calzone is filled with eggs, turkey ham, caramelised onions, button mushrooms and stuff. It was something new for us and I have to say it tastes quite good too. It also comes with roma tomato sauce. Spreading it on the calzone is not-so-recommended as I tried it. It tastes better without the sauce but you can dip it into the sauce if you want to.



Lastly, for dessert, sticky toffee pudding.

It's pretty much a moist sponge cake covered in toffee sauce, topped with a gelato, which is Italian ice-cream. (actually, it's more or less the same as the ice-cream here, just a little smoother)
Hmmm... Can I say insufficient ice-cream? You see, the cake is warm and is best served with ice-cream but the we could only manage small scoops of ice-cream with huge chunks of cake. Not exactly HUGE but.. you get the point. It'll be better if the scoop of ice-cream is larger. :D other than that, the dessert was lovely.
me likey ice-cream :P



The service was great. Our waiter had an accent which strangely sounded Italian? hahaha. Maybe not.
The staff were pretty helpful and the environment was enjoyable too.
Price-wise... this isn't exactly fine dining but the food and ambience came at a price too. The bill was somewhere around RM120, which is more or less the average dining restaurant.





And here's a random picture of mine after the facial, which is totally irrelevant to the post above but I would like to apologize for not blogging frequently nowadays. I have some data entry work to do and well, it became one of my sources of income. I'll be done with it soon and hope to get back to blogging within these two weeks.
Bye for now! :P

Sequel to Senjyu.



After Senjyu, we went to Baskin Robbins for an ice-cream because the birthday-boy-to-be wanted one. As a fan of Haagen Dazs, I seldom go to Baskin Robbins for ice-cream. Perhaps it was because I never found my flavor of ice-cream.



Well, I've found mine now. Pralines n Cream! Basically, I LOVE anything caramel.
We did not order a sundae but got a scoop of ice-cream each.



My bro got a Cookies n Cream ice-cream for himself and my mom to share. Well, he mustn't have too much  ice-cream.



And here's my sis with a Gold Medal Ribbon ice-cream. She had a runny nose but she took the ice-cream anyway. Tsk tsk. Such a waste of money, since she couldn't taste the ice-cream



And me with my Pralines n Cream! Guess there's a flavor for me at Baskin Robbins after all. Perhaps I should frequent more often because it's cheaper than Haagen Dazs. Haagen Dazs will wait. x)



Meh. I love this photo. Making funny faces at the camera. Yes, I'm indulging in my ice-cream so don't bother. Haha. By the way, my bro's expression is darn cute.



We went out for a walk after the dinner and the ice-cream. Notice the little stars and the checkered squares hanging around? The checkered squares are a kind of traditional Malay food called ketupat. Why ketupats? For starters, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which is a new year for Muslims, is around the corner!



And the theme color for Hari Raya is green. Don't ask me why. Auspicious for them maybe? Just like Chinese having red for Chinese New Year?



Mom asked a passerby to take our photo. CHEESE!





Here's the interior deco at the Curve for the Hari Raya celebration. You'll notice a number of coconut trees and wooden houses. Most of them live in wooden houses in the countryside and plant coconut trees to represent the number of children each family has, thus the wooden houses and coconut trees.



There's also an exhibit of paintings there. I saw a few familiar scenes, mostly from my trip to Europe. Well, travelling has its benefits.

Had a surprise when we got home..



Fireworks by some of our neighbors! Guess they're too hyped up for Hari Raya. I'm not much of a fireworks person. I prefer to watch from far. :X
And goodnight!
