Aoki Tei @ Sunway Nexis 青木亭放题

Chin Yee and I have a thing for Japanese food, in fact we eat Japanese food on most of our special occasions. We had Japanese food so often, we are actively trying to persuade ourselves to try other food. Anyway, Chin Yee and I were invited to go to a friend's birthday party at Aoki-Tei and due to our obsession with Japanese food, we had already been there before.

相信大家对这间日本自助餐厅并不陌生,前一阵子,它也算是人气餐厅之一。我和倩雯在去年就已经吃过了,也给它打了不错的评价。虽然我们朋友间一直在说“别再去吃任何日本餐了”,但真的到了那个时候,我们还是会说“好吧,就去吧!”。
今年再次的到访也和去年一样,是因为一位朋友的生日。不同的是,我们这一次去的是位于Sunway Nexus 里的这家分店。

dal.komm COFFEE @ Damansara Uptown 韩式冰品

There has been a lot of icy dessert shop popping up lately and Chin Yee and I have been going around devouring...I mean sampling some yummy ice desserts and we finally got to try dal.komm COFFEE. I've been wanting to try this for awhile and we finally got to go! Coincidentally, my brother and mother tagged along since they were in KL.

马来西亚的天气永远都那么炎热,所以各式的冰品专卖店就接二连三的在各处冒了出来。
这一家是倩雯一直都很想尝试的,我们之前闲逛时偶然发现了它。
就在上个星期,我们就在连假的最后一天晚上决定去试试啦!随行的还有倩雯的家人。

This is how the branch in Uptown Damansara looks like.
我们去的是位于Damansara Uptown的分行,也是比较靠近我们居住地区的一间。

Weekend Market @ Sunway Giza 周末市集

Since we were in the area, Chin Yee and I decided to drop in at the Sunway Giza weekend flea market. There are always a wide variety on sale here. Every time I come here, there would be some different stalls selling items that were not here the weekend before. There's jewelry, soft toys, phone accessories, clothes, shoes and many more. Since I usually come around here in the evening, the music is always loud and there is always a crowd.

现在,越来越多的周末市集出现在各大百货公司。我相信目的也是为了吸引更多的人来购物。贩卖的东西种类都很多,有首饰、衣物、用品,或是自己亲手制作的小物品。
这一次,我和倩雯就来到Sunway Giza的周末市集。这里的市集每逢星期五、六和日都会有摊位。

Oktoberfest 2016 @ 1 Utama 慕尼黑啤酒节


When it's October, people who drink beer and alcohol would all know the all important Oktoberfest. Heck, even I know it and I don't even drink alcohol that often. I saw the event in 1 Utama on a social media platform and alerted Chin Yee and another friend.

就在十月初,1 Utama 的顶楼停车场举办了为期4天的慕尼黑啤酒节。虽然规模不大,但也做得有声有色的。
我们在第一天就过去了,随行的还有另一位朋友。

The first thing I was surprised about is the security, I mean the security was tight...at least to me because I was actually frisked and I have never been frisked in my entire life. They checked our IC and made sure everything was hunky dory before letting us in. There were a lot of people there, German music was playing with some ladies and gentlemen in what I assume to be traditional German clothing. Everyone else was eating and drinking German food. Chin Yee and our other friend bought coupons at the entrance so we could get food and drinks later, while I just flat out gawked at everything. You should probably know, I'm not a drinking and partying kind of girl and to be honest neither were the other two with me.
由于会场的位置有点隐秘,加上管制蛮严的,我们走了一段路才到达入口。
会场里的购买并不接受现金,所以我们就在入口处买了一些礼券。
里面早已人满为患,但大多都是媒体,毕竟才第一天嘛...

The Boarder City Cafe and Board Games @ Sunway Giza 棋盘游戏咖啡厅

I have always wanted to visit one of these board game cafes and I finally did! Chin Yee and I dragged our friend with us to the cafe. There were a number of board games available. Although according to our friend, there's another cafe that offers more board games.  I have only played the usual board games like UNO, snake and ladders and.... nope that's pretty much it. I know it's sad how little I know about board games. I don't even know how to play chess. Anyway, let's move on to our reviews, shall we?

对于棋盘游戏,我们熟悉的应该就是蛇与梯子、西洋棋之类的。但,人们的创意早就突破常规了。
现在的棋盘游戏千变万化,很多新奇的游戏都能在一块板子上进行。大多的游戏都很考脑力,需要去多加思考以及推算,才能找出自己能够胜利的方法。


These are the games that we can play. Please keep in mind that it would be better to come with more people, so that you could actually play a variety games. 
那里的游戏还算蛮多,但有的游戏需要很多人一起玩才会好玩。


Thai Hou Sek@ 1 Utama 泰好吃

Last weekend, Chin Yee and I went to Thai Hou Sek at 1 Utama. We decided to try the restaurant after smelling the tantalizing aroma wafting in the air. We ordered the char siew tom yam, son-in-law eggs, bacon pad thai and a rice dish, which for the life of me I could not recall. I have to say the food was good but the atmosphere was okay. I personally do not like crowded areas and the restaurant wasn't too jam packed. Here are the pictures of what we ordered:

在‘泰好吃’刚开张的时候,我们就有打算去试试了。毕竟,谁能够抗拒正四处飘散的香气。
就在前几天,我们总算决定去试试了。

店里的氛围还算不错,人潮在那时候也还好。他们的服务还算是在水准之上,上菜都蛮快的。

它的菜肴都蛮特别,并不是一般传统的泰式料理。
我们就分别叫了两道传统料理以及两道让我们期待惊喜的菜肴。

Kakigori @ Taman Paramount PJ 日式冰品

Chin Yee called me saying she wanted to eat something icy so we went out on a hunt to search for icy desserts! We were scouring the internet looking for something we want to eat. Then, we found a post on a shop called Kakigori that recently opened. The shop only sells ice desserts called kakigori, which is ice shaving desserts in Japan.
 When we got there, the shop was crowded. We ordered and had to wait awhile before our icy goodness were made. We ordered two kakigoris, tiramisu for me and watermelon for Chin Yee.

某个晚上,我突然很想吃点冷的甜点,所以就把倩雯拉出来找东西吃了。
韩式冰品我们都知道,也吃了不少,但是日式的就很少见了。
上网找了才知道,原来我家附近就有一间。

店里的人潮比我想象中还要少,我们也很快的点了两道冰品。(但是,我们离开时,店外已经排长龙了。)
我点了西瓜口味的,而倩雯就点了提拉米苏的。

The shop interior is simple and at the back of the shop, there's this:
虽然店铺看起来不怎么起眼,但里面的装潢的确让人耳目一新。
