Big Apple @ Midvalley Megamall

Nice carrier box from BigApple Doughnuts!
 

I only bought 2. Even then, they gave me a box... great presentation, unlike other doughnut shops where you have to buy 3 or more to get a box... Kudos BigApple!!!

 

Cashewnut covered doughnuts!! And chocolate coated with peach-filling doughnuts!!!

Both my favourites from Big Apple!

Vegetarian feast @ Idealite

menu

 Out of the ordinary, we went to a vegetarian restaurant one day, just to break the usual types of food that we've been having. We thought, ''Why not vegetarian for a change?'' So we came across this newly opened restaurant called Idealite.
It's just a few doors away from Little Cottage 2 along Gottlieb Road.

Wall captions in English & Chinese

Our table was facing this wall captions on LOVE. I really like wall decorations and the simple but effective words on LOVE.

Curry spaghetti

Nasi Lemak

Black Sesame dessert

The best of all was the Nasi Lemak!! It's one of their signature dishes. Really a must-try if ever you drop-by.

My curry noodles was so-so. It came with chick peas and taufu and beans and mock blood cubes. The curry was abit thin but still a good order :)

Dessert was a warm black sesame puree. I wanted something cold as well, but unfortunately, they ran out of what I wanted to order that day.

My first Reebok bagpack

This is my first ever purchase from Reebok. I know this brand has been around for ages. It's an American sports brand, specializing in sport-footware and now sportsware in general - ie clothes, and bags etc.

This is a bagpack I managed to buy. It's yellowish-orange geometric patterned. The zipper infront bears the Reebok logo on it.

They even have a QR code on the label inside the bag ~ high-tech & awesome!
The bag is light-weight and quite spacious.

I plan to use it for carrying my books and stuff... not so much for sports.. hahah

Original price RM129

Esprit Haul

A girl can't have enough bags. and There's no such thing as too many bags. When it comes accessories, bags are my favourite.

I love, love, love bags especially from Esprit!

 I came across this while faux leather bag. It's pretty big and stylish too!

Love this design!! And the cute ripple effect on the sides

 This white tote bag has a strong zipper at the top, with two handles. The hardware for this bag is also sturdy and looks lasting. I spent about RM89.90 instead of the original RM199. What a deal!! Don't you think? :) Super happy about this purchase.


My other purchase is this lovely single strap brown handbag. Original price was RM229, but I managed to get it for only RM119.90!!!

The interior of the bag has a good soft lining material. And the hardware is absolutely stylish! Gold buckels and all... LOVE this bag to the MAXXX....

Vietnam Kitchen @ Cheras Leisure Mall

As I was in KL recently, I managed to try-out Vietnam Kitchen situated in Cheras Leisure mall on 30th October 2012.

Here's what I ordered

menu



Beef noodles - Vietnamese style RM14.90

Spring rolls 3 pieces for RM6.90

 

The beef noodles came with beef balls, and beef slices. Also, the beef soup was very flavourful and rich. It's the style of the vietnamese to serve the beansprouts raw. Well, i prefer mine cooked, so I soaked the raw sprouts in my hot soup to cook it.

As for starters, I ordered spring rolls. This was somewhat like your average 'chun piah', so nothing special there :) Still, it was crispy and nice too!

Citibank is having a promotion for it's cardmembers ~ 10% off but for purchases above RM20

Brussels @ Gurney Paragon

This is my second time at Brussels cafe & bar. Í was attracted to their RM15 set lunch offer with buffet style salad.

 

 

Table set-up

Chicken breast with mushroom sauce

Braised pork with corn rice

I ordered the chicken breast with mushroom sauce. The sauce was tasty, but unfortunately, they gave too little sauce for the tough chicken breast. The potato side was complimenting the dish well. Loved the potatoes and vegetables.

They had this buffet style salad bar, which offered cold pasta, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, lettuce, and olives, onions and pineapple & watermelon to choose from. (sorry no pic)

The braised pork had a lot of gravy, which is what I like. It was flavourful.

All in all, the lunch was ok for RM15.

My Kinokuniya Haul @ KLCC

I spent almost one and a half hours at Kinokuniya's Japanese section just browsing and deciding on which mook to buy and which freebie i'd get.

Here's what I finally decided to buy.

Warning: heavy picture post, up-ahead.

The unveiling of my Mooks & freebies....

I spent over RM100 on just these 2 mooks. And Kinokuniya was nice enough to acknowledge that with a nice paper bag (like!)

SPRING & CECIL McBEE mooks

 The Cecil McBee mook cost me RM77.15, but I had a 20% off with another purchase, so it came-up to RM 61.72 ie, the Cecil McBee bag came to that.

SPRING mook however only costs RM39.60. I felt that the quality of the Cabbage&Roses tote was way much better and worth the money too!

Up ahead is the unveiling of my MOOKS and freebies...
Warning: Head picture post!!

I'll start off with the SPRING mook and Cabbage&Roses tote - my absolute favourite of the two

nice packaging

bag was neatly packed into this cardboard box and separately wrapped in plastic

Here's a preview of the bag on the mook's top right-hand corner

the bag neatly folded, straight out of the box

Tada... the actual bag unveiled!

Love the quality of the bag. It's sturdy and has good weight. Not like other super slimsy and light bags.

Spacious interior with a zipper for security. Pocket inside

2 posckets outside, one on the front and another on the back
 

 Next-up in the CECIL McBEE MOOK and bag.

Mook came with a 20% off with a second purchase

Preview of the bag on the mook cover

The bag was in this white box labeled Cecil McBee. And the box was glued to the mook

The folded black CECIL McBEE bag

Over the front, it looks as if the bag was just printed with the words CECIL McBEE in white latex print. The inking wasn't so good as you can see, the ink didn't fully sink into the material. Blotches of white and black spaces seen :(

 I was quite disappointed with this bag, because of the quality. It felt as though this bag could easily be passed off as an imitation. :( OK, i know it's way much cheaper than the original bag, but for a price like that, i'd rather save-up for the original.

 It's a quilted bag with sponge and all. It's very light-weight and the straps are made from PVC.

 The only up-side to the bag is the gold-plated hardware - its gold zipper with signature emblem.
