Food @ Taylor's round two!

Recap: In the first episode, I covered on fish and chips and green salad at Taylor's Norwegian Sandwich Cafe but as you can see, the word is sandwich. For that I apologize. And as a token of my appreciation, please let me take you on a tour to one of the staple sandwich in Norwegian Cafe Taylor's College.

And below are some of the no-nonsense sandwich pictures taken by handy Motorola.

Bryggen Chicken Supreme Sandwich,

T. Egg Sandwich,

Cappuccino.


All packed vitamins, fibers and wholemeal carbs, necessary to sustain the next few hours of tiring lectures.

On the other hand, you can also opt for the hot dog, Viking Salmon/Beef sandwich or Fish and Chips, whichever that tickles our fancy but the main dish and most popular sandwich, falls on the Chicken varieties. So choose wisely.


Till then,
I see you at lunch soon.

Next episode: Taylor's food court.

Fooding at Taylor's College, episode 1

Well, I used to have problems eating at the old and dirty campus but after coming here to lakeside, everything changed. And I think... I need more pocket money!

Har! Oh well... Here are some of the sample taken on my lunch break in Norwegian Sandwich cafe!

tada!

Healthy green salad with olive oil and tiny pickles.

Very neat looking fish and chips!

And finally, icy cold ice latte.

Apart from that, there is also crispy popiah, dessert bar and 1901 hot dog cafe, all within reach with just a few footsteps from the library.

Hopefully I don't waste too much time sipping on americano and neglect my assignments!

Last but not least, the fish and chips theft!


Till then,
Expect more Taylor food in the next few post!

Everyday is a movie day!

At first, everything was planned and the actions was set in the motion but as soon as the plan came, something went terribly wrong. Not like the plan didn't actually work but it did in the end with some luck and here's how the story goes.

Me and my girlfriend, we both, spotted the movie voucher on MalaysianToday's April's fools issue and kept it for two weeks before the screening of the movie but little did we expect, we were supposed to cut the same advertisement on the April 14 issue as well. So blindly as it was, we just move on without checking the voucher twice.

When the day came, I rushed up like some free ice cream campaign and quickly made assumption that people around me are greedy because maybe, they wanted to claim more than what they needed. But it didn't really bother me. I was more concern on whether or not I get to watch the movie because I was one of the last few people behind, queuing up.

Fortunately, when my turn came, there were more than enough tickets for everyone but as I display my advertisement, she told me I was one advertisement short, and utter "why didn't you read!" So I begin looking around for possible adverts on the floor and it turns to be nothing but a wild goose chase.

And just before I could tell the sad story to my girlfriend, a pair of good Samaritans offered their additional advert to me and told me that they were behind me and saw my grief! ha! I thank them with a grin on my face and rushed back to collect a pair of free seating tickets.

Just then, I remembered an incident in MidValley, where we too, gave away free tickets to wandering movie goers.

So I guess that maybe, it is the good gesture that attracted others to do good and not merely happened by chance. It is one of the moment where you can jump and shout "I'm proud doing good!".

With free movies coming in all the time, everyday is a movie day!


And so the story end.
Till then.

A little updates

First of all, I'm in a two week mid semester break. Yay... And second, I did funny things at Starbucks while my girlfriend was undergoing an interview at Media Prima.

Third, I have a lot of assignments to do.

Fourth, I don't know why I'm blogging.


Till then,
Thanks for wasting your time reading this post.

At the very least, enjoy the following photo that I took at Starbucks.

Cool huh, attention grabbing I would tell you. You should see the faces of those people around me!

Porridge made right!

If you crave for Teow Chew porridge but fret over the artery clogging dishes then head over to SS 14, 好满粥·饭. There, you can find healthy brown rice porridge and other exotic dishes to go with without feeling too much of a guilt.

And below are some of the dishes chosen by me and my girlfriend.

Your guilt free way to enjoy porridge and best of all it only cost you RM 12.

Then again, you don't have to follow us in going meat-free, there are a lot of other dishes to choose from like salted fish and pork variation.

Just remember to be there early because parking on lunch/rush hour period could get nasty!


Till then,
Happy lunching!

Tragic week

It's been another busy and problematic week for me and my girlfriend, but she suffers more.

First, I loose my house key with a RM 100 rare pen knife attached and later my girlfriend looses her cell.

At first, we thought the cleaners would return the phone like how they did the last time but for some reason, they just kept quiet and agitate as we question them.

I mean, if you're at the last session at college, let's say 5pm, and all that's left was your hand phone, cleaner, security guard (who locks the door) and a lecturer, who will you suspect first? The cleaners of course.

It's not like we wrongly accuse them or something because the cleaners were in a serious disadvantage. There wasn't anyone near the perimeter and most students were 4-5 tables away. It was either the lecturer or the cleaners.

So without wasting any time, we rushed back from Tropicana City and arrived at the classroom about 6pm. But it was too late, the doors were lock.

In the end, we consulted the security guards and they agreed to open the door to satisfy our curiosity but no phone was visible.

So we headed home and hope that the cleaners would return the phone the next day.

But that didn't came as planned. The cleaners were all in shields and armors and there's nothing we can do without prove. So offered them rm 300 upon finding and returning the phone.

And thus far, no one has called for the offer.

Perhaps this what life is all about. You get some and you loose some, period.


Till then,
Keep your phone and house keys safe with you.

Our first anniversary.

It's our first anniversary. We fought, we arguing, we quarrel, but nothing could break us apart after we decided to stick together no matter what. Meaning, we never gave up.

We know that humans in general can't get along as we all have our own perspective and idea but it is the act of kindness and understanding that pull relationships together. For us, however, we believe in not giving up. Surely, we will one day quarrel again but it is our determination and commitment for each other that allows us to stick together.

And with each other, we will build bridges and take on the world one by one.

Hopefully the following year would end in the same manner.

On the good part, we decide to cook on this epic day and bought several ingredient from our friendly hypermarket Cold Storage.

With that, I prepared Basil Pasto, a vegetarian dish.



Well, there are several improvements that can be made but at the very least, I managed to cook something for my lovely girlfriend.


Maybe you can share some recipe with me (but make sure it's easy to prepare),
Till Then...

Birthday! I just realise that I'm now 22 years old. Officially.

Hi people! Sorry for the late and inconsistent blog post. I've been really busy with routines and assignments, as well as my next act on effective communication. However, I have unfinished business on this blog and I wanna take this opportunity to show gratitude to my one and only girlfriend (and probably something more in the future).

So these are the lovely things you missed out when I stopped blogging.

My birthday! At Coffee Ritual (along digital mall).

My girlfriend, as usual, made several clicks on Google and found an amazing restaurant that serves good coffee. I was in doubt at first but after arguing a bit with her I accepted her reasoning that the coffee prepared is better than Starbucks.

Below are the food that we ordered before I test the auspicious coffee.

Pumpking soup dip with bread.

De-bone drumstick with butter rice and vegetable.

The ala cart.

Lastly we have dessert.

And I must say that the food is quite good but I still feel a bit edgy about coffee made better than Starbucks. So I proceed with the final phase of my curiosity.

And quite likely I lost the best. It was the best coffee I've ever tasted.

But that's only the beginning. She surprises me further with presents she secretly hide when I was on top of her.

I was stunned a little and extremely touched in the end as I gotten a wallet without a zip to break and tee shirt I wanted so badly. Truly the best birthday one can have.



Hopefully our relationship will last as long as it can,
Till Then.
