Colours of Diwali

Love Diwali.
Everything is so colourful~

The many many elephants that i snapped today.

Fig & Olive

Bf was at work today.
So was out alone.
Wanted to be adventurous and try something that i've not tried before.
I remember seeing this place when i was there with bf. He wasn't interested. But i like the thought of mediterranean, olive, lotsa herbs and peace.

This place is nestled at the markesh area in Sunway Pyramid.
Definitely not loud for attention. Even the inside of the restaurant had been subtly hidden for more privacy. Just the way i like it.

Not bustled with lotsa patrons. I guess you could have easily missed this place.
Anyhow, am glad i finally tried it out today.

The interior is quite cozy.

I love this wall. Gonna have my future kitchen wall painted just like this!

The partition that provided some privacy to the diners.

My morning caffeine kick. I like how the syrup is given separately. U get to decide how much sugar goes into your drink and eventually to your waistline :)

My figo cypruss steak. Was a teeny weeny disappointed. Had expected the steak to be thicker than this. Nevertheless, with the price I'm paying, i guess it's reasonable. I love the marinate and herbs and everything about this steak. The only setback was the beef was too tough. If it is tender and more succulent, it would've been perfect.

The mandatory greens that lessen the guilt of chowing so much meet.

Steaks comes with either olive rice or pasta. I opted for the rice. It is really aromatic. Very much like briyani. Despite my resolution to reduce intake of rice, i found myself chowing down more than 3/4 of the rice. Yummilicious!

The maxi that i wore today. Love the prints.

Ok, that concludes my happy outing for today. Have a good weekend.

VEGE dog

The literal translation of what they called this dog.

Apparently the name came about because pariah dogs like this eats practically anything, usually the leftover food from the family's meal.

This puppy was adopted by bf's dad. Somehow i think the name "Bobby" suits him.

It's pretty smart.

The gate was actually covered by a sheet of wire mesh.

He managed to wriggle through the opening at the bottom and eventually crawled into the house through the gap in the gate!


Scared the hell outta me! I'm actually very scared of dogs despite my desire to own a puppy..haha..a cute one though..something not so intimidating like the shih-tzus or maltese.

Someday..someday...

toMato-es

A dollop of honey+a dash of soya sauce+a drop of sesame oil.

Weird combination?

Taste yummy.

Lazy Sunday

Aglio Olio

Or "Ugly Olio" as christened by him.

Made this for dinner last night. Yummilicious factor is hiiiiiighhh~~~

It's really simple to cook.

This is how i did mine.

Cook spaghetti until they are al-dente.

Heat olive oil at medium heat.

Put in chopped garlic and stir fry for a while. Do not let it brown.

Add in dried chillies (seeds removed) and yellow capsicum. Stir fry. Dried chillies amount depends on how spicy you like.

Add in a dash of salt.

Add in seafood. I put shrimp and squids. Do not cook for too long or the squid will end up really tough and rubbery.

Sprinkle some black pepper.

Sprinkle mixed herbs liberally. Mmmm..i love the smell of mixed herbs~

Put in the cooked spaghetti and mix until they are well coated with the olive oil.

Tadaa..it's ready.

Oliver Lazy Day Skirt

Found this online and tried my hands at it.

Yay..succeeded!

I use cheapo fabric from Nagoya since this is only my trial version. This skirt cost me like less than RM5.

My very first handsewn skirt :)
So prooooud of myself. It's not perfect but not too bad either.
Cheapo material is too thin to wear..totally see-through!
Gotta wear with petticoat. Will try wearing it maybe like tmrw..if i feel courageous enough..haha.

It would be great to own a sewing machine some day..some day~ :)
