Each A Cup

Last weekend, the weather is so hot that i would love to spend most of my time in the shopping mall. To be honest, most of the time, i would just window shopping while waiting to get into cinema at GSC, Tropicana Mall...if there is any movie which interests me. Anyway, once i have bought the movie ticket, i quickly find a place for a cold and icy drink..

And here i come to a small corner nearby the Carrefour. The name of the shop is cute "Each a Cup"....Yes, there are selling something like those ice blended bubble tea. Based on a leaflet, there do mentioned they have been doing their business since Year 1999 and there are many outlets being opened in Singapore, Taiwan , Malaysia & Indonesia. And they have been rated 5 stars by The New Paper in Singapore (for Year 2001, 2002,2003,2004)

You also can see from the shop :
- They are using Hotel grade concentrated fruit juice which taste better and natural , but not syrup or powder.
- Their tea is genuine and natural, fresh and daily brewed from high grade tea sprout rich in Vitamin C and antioxidant
-Their coffee is high quality product from South America
-And their Chocolate is one of the finest from France.

There are many flavour to choose from and im quite hesitate when come to choosing. Anyway, im sharing with my bf, so i just can choose 1 flavour only.

Drinks collect at this corner...

Pick your own color straw...lol

And i have chosen the Mocha Ice Blended(RM5.90). Erm, the drink is quite nice but like not so sweet. I wish it could be sweeter..haha...im a person who love sweet thing...Anyway, is a nice drink especially for hot weather...Yup, the drink is quite natural...not like those using powder, to be honest...and added in some melted chocolate ...hehe.

Do have a try if you are there, if i pass by there, i think i would go there to try other flavour too..

Food food food....all my mind is about food most of the time.. haha..Lucky my bf dont grumble much but to join me together for the meal..haha..

So, this time, I went to Taiwan Street located at Tropicana City Mall....for a try. As you seen, lately the weather is just hot and cold the same time. What's really interesting in the cafe is they served a lot of beverages and i think the most famous of all would be those Bubble Tea...

When we actually saw the menu, we are just undecided of what to drink. But for sure we are aim for cold drink. After a few minutes, then we make our orders...

Our drinks - Jasmine Plum Tea [right] ( RM5.90) - a drink which is quite refreshing. It is not sour at all but there is a strong jasmine smell..some of you all may not like it but it is ok for me.... Special Mixed Fruit Tea [left] (RM6.90) - the drink is slightly sour but it might be too sweet at the same time..im try try drink it when he not aware..haha, quite nice ... what special about this drink is below it have some barleys, nuts (which is boiled till soft), red beans, bubble jelly, etc...haha...the blue is his iphone...with a blue "devil" cover..hehe..trying to show off...

Claypot Loh Shu Fun (RM10.80) - it is served hot inside a claypot with the ingrediants such as pieces of Taiwan sausages, mushroom, and egg on top and the minced meat.....when at 1st it look too watery but the gravy will slowly dry. Taste still acceptable...

Spicy Hot Ramen (RM9.80)- Actually the soup is quite ok...but when eat more, then it feel more spicy ...Consists of few simple ingrediants like squid, corns, beansprout, crab stick, mushroom etc....aikks..i dono why I hate mushroom so much...I give to my bf to eat it...Anyway, nothing special about this dish....

Anyway, the place do really served a lot of beverages. If there is a chance, i sure go there for their beverages and maybe their snacks...The cafe is just nearby the GSC counters. If by chance that you have time before a movie, just have a try at there...

What really lead us to go there is their coffee... Im sure everyone favourite is coffee...Every morning, we sure would love to hav a cup of coffee to stay awake during working days..haha..

History of Kona Coffee

Anyway, all our mind is actually to try their coffee. Not aware that they actually do have some other speciality they served to their customer such as pizzas, soups, snacks, spagetti, and steaks....etc...

So here a short meal we have at there...

10% Kona blend coffee (RM6.90) - their speciality coffee but not so strong...

100% Kona coffee (RM12.90) - is super strong taste of coffee..really is "kopi gau gau".....haha...

Spagetti (RM11.90)- forget the full name.. the taste quite good..strong herbs taste but slightly dry...

their XXL donut (RM4) - a large and simple donut with coated sugar....they heat the donut to make it warm and you feel you are eating the donut which just fresh out from the oven...Good to have it together with their coffee...a sip of a bitter coffee with a piece of sweet donut....

Sushi Tei @ Tropicana City

Supposingly last night i was rushing to Midvalley but due to a suddenly heavy rain and traffic jam, im unable to make it till there. With quite disappointment, my bf say we just go to Tropicana City to find food and see whether we able to watch any movie. We checked no movie which suit our time. So, the end, without no choice, we just headed for our dinner.

Suddenly my bf say feel like having sushi. So, here we are. The Sushi Tei @ Tropicana City. Their interior quite nice and warm...what i means warm is actually hot..haha..might be due to the lights thats being hanging on top of each table / corner. We can spot the sushi bar in the middle and chef busy preparing fresh sushi... and the whole thing is like a wooden restaurant located at a deep forest. Does the place give you such feel?? hehe.. When you browse the menu, you could feel it looks slightly familiar with the Senjyu Sushi. Maybe every sushi house is like this le..hehe..At 1st, we thought it might be expensive but somehow the price is still acceptable. Kinda broke lately...need a lot of thing to prepare for coming CNY celebration...

So, hereby the orders we have....

Chicken Katsu Zaru with Udon (RM13.80) - a cold udon with a deep fried chicken breast. The portion is just enough and when you ate it, it give you a nice and refreshing feel...The cold udon deep into the small bowl of so called "soup" to my bf..hehe...

Saba Teriyaki served with rice (RM13.80 + RM2.50) - My bf love to have this kind of fish...not oily and maintain the juicy meat with combined with the terayaki sauce...Rice is ordered separately.

He never feel satisfy. When there is a meal, there sure be other side dishes....And this time, we have Inari Sushi(RM1.60), Tamago(RM1.60), Ebi (RM3.80) and Salmon sushi (RM3.80)...You can get all this at the conveyor belt sushi and we are sitting in the other corner so all this is served by the waiter there...All is quite fresh and im quite full after the meal...I feel like im eating a lot of rice..haha..

Least but not to forget, a cup of green tea (RM2) as our drinks....we did not manage to get any dessert due to by the time we finish our meal, it almost 10pm le....so i guess, they will be closing shop soon as i saw they are busy cleaning the place...lol...

Total bills come out at RM49.40 (included service charge 10%) .

Herbal Jelly @ Koong Woh Tong

Erm, lately im not feeling well. Maybe is due to the heat in my body. So, my bf and i has stopped at Koong Woh Tong to have their nice herbal jelly. As we know they are famous for their herbal jelly and also herbal tea.

Roughly mostly all the interior in each branch of the Koong Woh Tong is the same. Got a big golden pot in front of it with some very ancient chinese painting and chinese writing. Mostly in golden and red....2 of the colour which Chinese people very love it.

Guess what, Tropicana Mall has a Koong Woh Tong outlet. Somewhere nearby the Carrefour. We also never expect there will be an outlet there as the place is still new but somehow, the mall is getting more and more new and interesting outlet. So whats more? A new place to venture and for those movie fans, there is a GSC cinema there.

Let's continue with Koong Woh Tong and have a taste of their " Kuo Lin Ko" aka Herbal Jelly. Nice and smooth..being put on ceramic pot. You may opt for a cold or hot herbal jelly. For me, sure i want the cold one. Suit for me. The herbal jelly is served with a pot of sweetener( sugar syrup). You may add as you like to suit your preferences.

Besides that, we have ordered a cup of " Ng Fa Cha"....my translation is Five Flower Tea. Nice to drink especially when im sore throat. hehe...The taste is like sweet but at the same time got little bitter....

Anyway, just try to go to any branch of the Koong Woh Tong to try some of their nice herbal jelly / tea..especially for those who are staying far from family and no time or dont know how to boil any herbal tea by their own. Love yourself and at the same time maintaining a good health in life...

Daily Fresh @ Tropicana Mall

Main Entrance

A banner stated " 1st & Original Wafito"

Erm...wonder have you heard of Daily Fresh?? Actually this is the 1st time me and my bf saw and it is located at Tropicana Mall. They are actually offering few types of snacks like wafito , sweet corn and fruity shaved ice...

There are actually few types of wafito with different topping etc. What is Wafito?? Is actually waffle whereby the batter cake is cooked in a special waffle iron patterned "oven"...As for me, i have did tried the waffle from the outside which usually i will put peanut butter or chocolate. This time, i saw there is a new stuff which is the Chicken Floss Wafito (RM3.20). haha...and i have ordered it...

I have take a few photos of h0w the process of making the waffle..1st the will take the ready plain batter...then put a scoop of the chicken floss and mix it... Then the will pour the mixed batter on the waffle iron "oven" and wait it to be cooked. I think about 5min.

Then a nicely cooked waffle is ready to put some topping. I saw the put some chicken floss on top of the round waffle.


Slowly squeese the mayoniese and lastly wrap it side by side...and my wafito is ready to eat....Erm, it quite tasteless but the waffle is nice since is freshly made and it still h0t when i ate it.....I think waffle is better with peanut butter or something sweet such as fruit jam...lol...

One of the wafito topped peanut butter and sliced chocolate...looks yummy too...

Beside that we have ordered their Cool Ice Kimo (RM3.30)...aka " fruity shaved ice".....We have choose Sour Sop flavour...a nicely sour sop flavour ice shaved on the cup...with the soup sop topping...just nice and refresing for a hot weather...

Flavours: Chocolate, Vanila, Honey Dew, Mango, Strawberry, Sour Sop, Pineapple & Mocha....
