San Terri Cottage, Times Bookstore, Pavillion

And the story continues...

Previous post was talking about me having my wonderful lunch with wonderful people at a great restaurant, Grandmama's. But the fun doesn't stop there, Stephen brought me into Times Bookstore after the lunch..Thinking to myself, well that was weird, Stephen doesn't seems like someone who'll spend his leisure time reading!..haha...no offense!..Well, the truth is, it was not the books he's bringing me to, but a hidden gem inside the books store!- San Terri Cottage!

San Terri Cottage is located in level 6 Pavillion, inside Times Bookstore. I had totally no idea that there was such a good place hidden in the book store. It was quite, with soothing music giving a very calming feeling. Grab your favorite book, have a cuppa with extreme tempting aroma, match it with cute beautiful cakes..life has never been that perfect!...Aside of coffees and cakes, their menu also consist of a huge varieties of beverages, comestibles and desserts that will definitely tinkle your taste bud!


Soft comfy couch at a hidden corner..best for relaxing!


Stephen was forced to be my model!..haha


Fish eye effect on Stephen^^


Nice quiet environment with tons of books surrounding you!

Brewed Coffee!...smells heavenly!


Cappuccino...good companion for an exhausted afternoon!


Green Tea Azuki Swiss Roll!!Yum!!!..FYI, I'm a green tea sucker!


Cafe Latte...smooth and creamy!!

We were chilling happily there after the lunch..Uncle Lau brought his lap top along and showed me his diving pictures with Stephen in Redang Island~~Honestly, I was really glad to spend my afternoon with them, enjoying the real life before going back into reality..Though it was short, it was beautiful!.San Terri, this place is another heavenly place for a sweet escape from the reality tiring life!

Grandmama's, Pavillion KL

Guess we've all been so caught up with our life burden and responsibilities, so badly that we've forgot the main thing in life is to relax and enjoy it..And to do so, a simple "sit down and chat" in a relaxing environment will do the trick..I'm lucky I had a chance to experience this short yet soul comforting moment again on this beautiful afternoon!

It all started with a rushing and unprepared interview in Roche..That morning was a disaster as I was so extreme tired due to the continuous dance rehearsal for the up coming show and the superb lack of sleep on the night before (only 30min)..Guess God must have mercy on me, seeing me so exhausted, God wanted me to have a break, relax and chill...haha... What made me say so???..The interview was delayed and reschedule to another day because the director was not free... And my uncle, Stephen..suddenly gave me a call and invited me for lunch..and the great day started!..

I was introduced to a new dining place in Pavillion, called Grandmama's..I soon discovered that the owner of this place is actually related to the owner of the infamous Madam Kuan's Restaurant, that explains the similarity of the menu...The environment was good, the wooden tables and chairs plus warm lighting created a soft relaxing ambiance. The food, Well let's see..


Warm lighting!


Relaxing environment..great for talk!




Mango Lime Frosties!


Green Tea


Sang Har Ho Fun...recommended by Stephen, it was really full of flavour, not to mention, arteri clogging too!!!..CHOLESTEROL!!!!


Garlic Escargot!..So fragrant, smelling it alone it's already enough to make you drool!


Grilled Chicken...Huge cut of meat, with generous portion of fries!


Prawn hor fun dry version...fresh prawns and smooth noodles!


The 3 gentlemen that I had my lunch with!..Stephen, Uncle Lau and Nick Fai!...My pleasure!


Thanks to Stephen and Uncle Lau for the treat!..And it was nice meeting Uncle Lau..I had a great time chatting with them..They were nice people!..Let's not forget Fai too..Thank Q!..But we didn't end there...After lunch, I was brought to another great place..Where???..Stay tuned for more!~~~

Boston, Leisure Mall

It's been a while since the last time I went Leisure Mall. I was surprised that the whole dining area was renovated and all brand new!!!..A lot of new restaurant has moved in, such as Old Town White Coffee, Sakae Sushi, Big Apple Doughnut and etc...Spotted a new restaurant that I haven't try before...So let's hit it!..Boston, here I come!

Boston Concept Restaurant was established in May 2005, aspired with a fusion of Western and Asian cuisine that suited Malaysian palates well. It has around 14 outlets all over Malaysia, each with a unique modern interior design. This new outlet in Craving Lane, Leisure Mall has a unique antique Chinese style with a twist of modern design and great lighting, giving me a very warm, casual comfort feel.
Browsing through the menu, it reminds me of Papa Rich...Honestly, it was very similar~..Well let's see how's the environment and the foods!


The new dining area in Leisure Mall!


Target restaurant of the day, Boston~


Simple and comfy interior design


Great lighting..




Mirror wall..


Almond milk...personally, I don't fancy almond drink that much...taste weird!


Grass Jelly Sea Coconut Ice!..Refreshing for a burning day!


Curry noodle..Kinda oily..really oily!!!


French Toast...


Chicken Curry Bread..only a small piece of dry chicken, and doesn't even have a single potato, covered with watery curry..errrrr..~


French Toast were fluffy and nice when eaten warm


Look at the amount of peanut butter...OMG!!..That's indulging!






Fai and Geraldine..


Me~

Verdict, there are some hits and misses...The price of the food, I felt it's a bit funny...the chicken curry bread was same price or even more expensive than the curry noodle...which was not worth it at all!..All in all, if you're looking for a decent local taste with comfy environment, you can give Boston a try!

Tiger Year..RAAWWWWW!!!!!

Blink blink blink...OMG!..CNY it's over!!!..That was scarily super fast and how I hate it!!!
Hmm..this year CNY was a bit different than every other year, coz I didn't follow my mom back to hometown in Ipoh..nor my Dad to his GF's place in Penang..I figured I rather stay here in KL..Well, I would say it's not that bad!
Reunion dinner to my family meant nothing~..So, Bro and I don't really make it a big deal. My uncle, knowing that both of us were alone in KL, invited us to join his family reunion dinner in Seremban, Mantin...Yup, I joined baby Yuf's family and that was my 1st "Lou Sang" this year..Hwattt Arrrr!!!

Went shopping crazily with Yuf right before CNY..that way super last minute!

Spending a night there, we went back to KL on the 1st day of CNY. Once reach KL, my activities was "called up people and join them for the rest of my days"...Go out during the morning, come back at night with an exhausted condition just nice to sleep and recharge for the next day!..My CNY has never been that "Fulfilled" ever since we started to grow up and when fire crackers and lion dance doesn't exist in my hometown anymore~ Well, it's kinda sad case, but that's the reality, that's my family and that's something I had accepted..or rather working on accepting~ At 1st I thought staying in KL during CNY will be very boring..but haha..guess it turns out well, out of expectation...Everyday was a laughter!
