Mini Cup Fruit Jelly

What a hot weather lately. It has not been rain for few days. My family and I have been shower few times to cold ourselves...So, my bro request me to do some refreshing jelly for him.

I juz take what i have at my house and bought a mix fruit in a can and done the mini cup fruit jelly.

I arranged all the cups (approx. 20 cups) , each with some mix fruits. I started to boil the water, put some pandan leave and added sugar for taste. Then, i pour a packet of the leftover instant jelly powder which i bought last time. And lastly, add a little drop of red coloring. I waited everything to be boiled and i off the fire and started to pour the jelly on each cup.

From the photo, the jelly is nicely pour on the jelly cup..I put aside till is warm and then put into the fridge to cold for about 3 hours . But when the jelly is set, i noticed that it is not so hard like the usual jelly. Might be the jelly powder not good enough. hahaha...so the end, the jelly is slightly soft like the pudding....Still ok. Weather hot, so my bro also ate 3 cups at a time. Lucky i still left some for my bf....

Anyway, is good to have some cold refreshment during such a hot hot weather lately...

Senjyu Sushi @ Cineleisure Damansara

, It is the day. Every year, i would be headache thinking of a new place to celebrate his birthday. This year, i have decided to bring him to have sushi....

Haha..but i think is a good choice. It was not oily at all and good as our dinner. I have to care for him. If not, he would saying i always make him fat with my homemade cookies and cakes sometimes...haha....This sushi house has been open for some time and we actually did think to try their sushi during Valentine day there but the end, we has chosen the Paddington Pancake House instead. haha...so this time, will bring him to try this sushi and to celebrate birthday with him ....


The place look dark when you stepped into it. When we sat on our table, we saw the sushi bar is in the middle whereby you saw 2 sushi chef busy preparing fresh sushi for their customers. As i look around, i saw many green glass bottle being lined up around the wall in a black background on every corner....which make the whole place look classy...


The pricing, i bet you cant really compared with some place as Senjyu Sushi is offering some of their premium choices which i think hardly get from other sushi places. I think is a place which is targeted for a medium class market where they are looking for more variety with a slightly higher price. Once a while, i dont mind going to such places to try new thing if it is worth it. lol...


You can check the prices from their menu or you can saw it beside each table. As usual, each color of the sushi plate has their different pricing tag.

Here we are....

Sencha (Hot Green Tea) (RM2) - as usual, is our favourite tea when having sushi. Drink more tea will help you digest more when you eat sushi. As you know, mostly sushi is wrapped with rice. haha...


Our so called " appetiser"(RM4) - 6 pieces of sushi...which lined on a plate like a flower...



Main Course :



Salmon Kimchi Nabe Gozen(RM42.90) - is a big portion which includes fresh salmon & vegetables in a spicy hotpot, udon, sashimi moriawase, salad, japanese steamed rice & steamed eggs too.


Salmon & vegetables in hot pot- Have golden mushroom, vegetables, taufu, sliced carrots and thick slices of salmon...yummy...and not oily at all...When the pot is served, the waiter will on the fire and let the soup to boil..have it when it is hot...


Fresh Sashimi - sliced of salmon, prawn etc...



Bowl of salads, soft steamed japanese rice (his fav), udon in a mini wooden dim sum basket and not to forget the steamed eggs....dont think 1 person can finish this all..unless you are a big eater...

Side Dishes:



Trio Salmon(RM10)- consist of salmon wrapped with japanese rice on top of the shrimp roe, flying fish roe and black shripm roe....


Mango Ikura (RM6) - mango wrapped with rice on top of salmon roe...with some salad dressing...fresh anf fruity combination...i really saw the chef cut the fresh sliced mango on the spot...the mango is sweet too..


Our desserts:

Island Way Sorbet-Pineapple sorbet (RM10.90) - a creamy low fat fruit sorbet. They have used a real pineapple skin and freeze together with the sorbet...nice and really cold...

Dango with Sesame Paste (RM8.90) - a green tea mochi with sesame dip. The mochi is quite hard to chew which is like already frozen. I wish it could be softer and easy to chew it...The sesame dip is sweet and hot when it is served...

Overall, we are satisfy with the meal. Some sushi looks new to us and it is good to have more choices in sushi....

Boulevard Kopitiam

Yesterday, while my bf was going to his client site, we have stop by at the Glomac Plaza. This is the 1st time i went there and the place looks so strange and new to me. After settled with his things, we decided to have our late lunch.

He has recommend me to go to this air-con + fan kopitiam since the weather quite hot that moment. He told me the price there is acceptable and have more variety of foods. To be honest, the place is quite new and there are not much restaurant or coffee house being open. So far beside this kopitiam, i just saw 1 big mamak restaurant and 1 chinese restaurant being open there.

So i look through around their menu. I can see they have offered many types of foods which quite suit for working people there. They have Chinese cuisine(Chicken Rice, Ipoh Hor Fun, Fishball Noodle) , Malay cuisine( Mee Jawa, Nasi Lemak, Tom Yam) and even western cuisine( chicken chop, french fries, toast, breakfast set). With this menu, it sure indeed attracted people to dine in there.

So what i have for lunch?? Check this out :

Nasi Lemak Rendang Chicken (RM6.80) - suit for those who like nasi lemak but do not wish for too hot and spicy sambal. Their sambal is slightly sweet actually..and the rendang chicken is soft..


Ah Lin Steam Chicken Rice (RM5.30) + Beansprout (RM1.50) - Actually the chicken rice and the beansprout is separated order. Erm, i dont like much steamed chicken....unless it is chicken breast. This is because i scare of the blood coming out from those steamed chicken especially on the drumstick part. The beansprout is nice and around same as what you can get from other place.

Honey Lemon Juice - It look nicely presented on the table but the taste.....erm, i dont actually like it. Might be is the honey problems. It make the drink taste bitter...wonder what kind of honey they are using??

If you are passing by there or maybe you are working there, just have a look and try it yourself. The place is clean and is a good place to have a simple lunch. Or maybe have a tea with your clients to discuss business....in a casual way...

RNC Seafood Steamboat (Buffet)

Erm, im sure you all have been trying a lot of steamboat before. So am I. This time,we have selected this as our next stop for steamboat. It actually located opposite road of the famous steamboat buffet (Restaurant Yuen Steamboat)...

The reasons we choose this is because we does not need to BBQ our own....haha...they will help us BBQ. All we need is we just pick the food we want (eg: satay, ham, fish and hotdogs). When we reached, we are asked about the total person who will be dining in. The pricing will be RM19.80nett for adults and RM9.90nett for kids. Then we were asked of our soups. There are few choices for you such as hot & spicy soup, cheesy soup, tom yam soup, herbal soup and the normal "Ching Tong" soup.

At 1st i got think to have Cheese as our base soup because i never tried it before but some of us scare fat...So, the end, we have choose the Tom Yam & "Ching Tong"soup. Then we begin to take our food. All is self service since this is a buffet style. As you can see, all the food is being stored in a plastic tupperware and display in a nice way. All look fresh.

Fresh seafoods

Corns, baby corns, mushrooms etc...

Variety of fishballs, crab sticks, "yong tou fu" pieces etc...

There are limitation of dessert and drinks. All the have is the sliced watermelon, Konnyaku Jelly, ice creams...and for drinks, there have only "leung sui" and chinese tea....

Due to we are sitting outside and there is not much lights, i just unable to get a nice shot of our boiled food in the pot. But to be honest, i dont eat much because the weather is so hot and i was sweat all the time making me no mood to "boat" any food. lol....

Overall, it should be a nice place for friends gathering....
