THE SIMPLEST THING WHICH DRIVES ME NUT

I do not know whether it is just me, or the way I was raised, or anyhow that I can't help but getting angry whenever McDelivery (read McDonald's Delivery Service) delivers my order without ketchup (if you are Malaysians, read "tomato sauce").

Hey, how do you eat burgers without ketchup? What about french fries?

Hm... I wonder... I have to keep telling the customer service people taking my order, "I want ketchup too, please." And seriously, why on earth are they so stingy with ketchup?

I don't know... Lol.


Nudge: Just imagine how is the world without ketchup.... Hmmm~

CUTIEY BROWN IS COMING

This is Chris Brown:



And this is Charlie Brown:



The one who is coming to Malaysia is definitely the cute Charlie Brown!!! I don't even care about the brutal Chris Brown... And errr... Chris Brown is not Charlie's brother... Hehe...

Charlie Brown Cafe is opening soon in Suria KLCC. I am darn happy... I will try to be among the 1st few people to line up and grab their cakes... Don't worry guys, they have halal certification... Yeay!


But seriously, any idea when is the Charlie Brown Cafe @ Suria KLCC is opening? I have seen the location, yet I can't find anywhere on the exact date of its opening... Any idea, guys?

Anyway, here is a photo showing how Charlie and his sister, Lucy and the other friends love me much, taken candid while we were playing cat and mouse together:


Here's the link to their website: http://www.charliebrowncafe.com.my/

DU VIET RESTAURANT & CAFE

"Xin chao" is the hello in Vietnamese.

Today is Eddie's birthday, so planned to throw him a feast, and after one pretty quick brainstorming, we decided to give Vietnamese cuisine a try.

Du Viet Restaurant & Cafe
401, Suria KLCC
Tel: +603-21663620


Well, what should I say? The food were decent, the staff were friendly enough and the price, even a little bit pricey, still the cuisine worth a try.
They separated the menu into appetisers, main course (single or set), desserts, side dishes and beverages. And ordering was smooth as they adopted the browsing and write order system. And amazingly, eventhough we wrote order in numbering code as per the menu, the waiters said our orders out loud without making any flipping the menu until Eddie and I went, "Wow, he really memorised the whole menu!!!" Kudos~

What we ordered?

Steamed wrapped rolls - delicious



Hue-style beef congee - I ordered this, and tasted like our beef porridge but a little fatty.



Traditional beef noodles - Eddie said it was nice.



Three colour delites - This is cendol with ice-cream.



And after sometime, we decided to try their coffee as we noticed that the coffee beans come from Vietnam... The plan was to try their coffee and compare with the commercial coffee we always have, and yes, their Special Drip Coffee with Vanilla was a little different.

Haha... It was served in a special drip which was put on top of the coffee mugs (was that a mug? Haha) and the coffee dripped slowly onto the vanilla in the mug below. We were like 'orang kampung' tried and tasted the coffee inside the drip... Yet, there was no real taste neither coffee scent. Any Vietnamese care to explain?


Haha.... How did it taste?
Well, basically we had to wait for the coffee to drip into the mug, then stirred them, and tadaaaa.... The bitterness dipped into your mouth followed by sweetness. It was like, "bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian."

See the below video as when we tasted the coffee.



Shall we come again?
For a variety, yes. Recommend you guys the steamed wrapped rolls. Awesome!!!!

Nudge aka Adan: Happy Birthday, Ed!!!! May good things in life come to you at the age of 24. Hehe~ You are getting older, anyway!!!
