I told a few colleagues a couple of days ago that I have been thinking about herbal eggs and one of them took the extra mile to look for them for me. The things that my friends do for me are just unbelievable. I am so blessed. Thanks Mel! :)

Herbal Eggs...
I've been told that herbal eggs are not really good for you...herbal sounds healthy right? I guess we should not let ourselves be fooled by its name. However, right this minute, do I really care that it is not the healthiest thing on earth when I have been craving for these darn eggs for the last two weeks? The answer is an easy no.

Nasi Dagang Best!
Both Naz and I spent the entire weekend with the kids. Didn't bring them anywhere except for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Mostly because Munira was busy doing revisions for her final exam which is starting today! All the best my darling.
On Sunday, Naz took us to Ulek Mayang (Taman Melati) for breakfast. The children had Nasi Lemak which they gave 'two thumbs up'. I didn't want to have any carbo at first but looking at how much Naz was enjoying his plate of Nasi Dagang, I just couldn't resist! I was telling myself, have the Nasi Dagang but try not to finish the whole plate and stop whenever possible. Can you guess? Of course I finished the whole darn plate. Licin selicin-licinnya! God that was one of the best Nasi Dagangs I have ever eaten. Not good for those on Atkins but once in 3 months wouldn't hurt your waistline rite ;)?

Yummy Beriani...
Brought the whole family out for lunch yesterday to celebrate my step mom's birthday. Wanted to try something different than western so we decided to try out Al-Rawtsa (Jalan Damai) as per my cousin's recommendation. It was pretty good. Didn't take many photos yesterday but managed to take this which was our main order!
Chicken and Lamb Beriani...Sungguh the sedap!

Tony Roma's Experience
I went to Tony Roma's for the first time last Wednesday. Tessa is back from Ausie and wanted to treat Win and I for lunch. I left Tony Roma's that day with satisfaction and knowing for sure that I'll be back. What I really like about Tony Roma's:
1. They serve this mini french bread that comes with a ball of creamy butter which is mixed with herbs and garlic (definitely not the healthiest thing on earth but definitely one of the most incredible [and sinful] thing I have ever tasted) Warning: If you somehow finish the bread before the butter, you will most likely try not to waste the butter by having it with everything else...e.g. fries, pasta, steak
2. Good service - our food came in less than 15 minutes that day!
3. Almost everything in the menu is served in big plates, big serving - not good for those on a diet but worth your $$ and also enough for sharing and to even tapau back.
Oh, as we were waiting for our order, the patrons next to our table were singing a birthday song to a 'Ms Paradise'. What? What kind of a name is Paradise? Win was saying, Paradise now only needs to find a Mr X 'Lost' so that she can then be called 'Paradise Lost' huhu...Talking about not so ordinary names, I have in my life met a Forest (probably named after the famous Forest Gump), Jungle, Corny and a few more which I can't seem to recall...:)
Anyway, back to Tony Roma's, all you mushroom lovers out there, you have got to try Tony Roma's deep fried battered mushrooms. They are truly amazing. Almost finger licking good. They are not oily but pleasantly moist. Served with this superb honey mustard lemon dip. I am surely going back to TR especially because of the mushrooms! Nyum2.

Yummy Pancakes!
Have you ever been to Paddington House of Pancakes (PHOP)? I think they have a few branches: The Curve, Hartamas and One Utama. My BFF Win, J and I went to the one in One Utama for lunch yesterday and boy we had the most marvellous lunch! It was close to perfection! Yummmyyyy...
Win and J had the same thing (err, come to thing of it, they had the same thing too when we last went to La Risata...they are just meant to be in-laws). Their plates came with these - 3 pancakes, mashed potatoes (with delicious gravy), hash brown, scrambled eggs, grilled tomato and 3 chipolatas. I ordered blueberry pancakes that came with superb maple syrup (absolutely sedap), cream cheese, scrambled eggs with mushrooms with a dash of pepper, beef bacon and grilled tomato. Then after that we had this out-of-this-world dessert. They wrap chunky peanut butter and chocolate syrup in a thin layer of pancake and it was served with fresh cream and chocolate ice-cream...now tell me, doesn't that sound mouth watering?
Win even tapaued back for the others in the office. One who loves breakfast food (like me, Win and J) would definitely appreciate PHOP. Even though I would say that the price is a bit on the high side, it is really worth every Malaysian Sen. I will definitely go there again. There are like 99 other things on the menu that I would love to try ;).

Actually this photo doesn't do justice to the actual thing. It tasted way better than the way it looks! Yum2!

Wonderful Sunday
On Saturday April 7, while Munira was at ballet class and I was at work, Muzafar fell and now has a bump on his head - right at the center of his forehead and looked a bit bluish. When we came home, he started telling us what happened in his very own language and we felt really sorry for him. My poor baby...Soon after that, Naz started calling him Ultraman Taro - so bad but I started calling him that too...hehe!
Let's talk a bit about Akademi Fantasia's 4th Concert. They decided to give Ebi AF5 a make over (macam depa denga pulak my previous entry about Ebi) but sadly, they didn't give him a haircut but probably just a trim. Nevertheless, that boy looks neater after the make over. Performance wise, I think everyone did ok2 jer but Aizat should be given a pat on the back and Mila, that gurl has shown a lot of improvement - voice and showmanship. Infact, I think she's getting better every single week. Nuff said.
As for yesterday, I had a busy day. With the kids of course. First, it was the morning trip to KLCC Park. Then in the evening, another trip to the park and this time, Tasik Titiwangsa pulak. Unfortunately, it started to rain at about 6pm so we had to leave after what, half an hour? Anyway, it was a fun day for the kids. Here, pictures always speak louder than words..
Check out the Ultraman Taro bump!
Oh ya, I decided to cook spaghetti bolognaise (Hot Gucci Mama Style, haha) for lunch as Munira had requested for it last week. Naz was kind enough to help me with the Garlic Bread and they were delicious eventhough a bit burnt at the top hehe - Thanks Abang. Anyway, Naz had two servings (or was it three?) and Munira had two (hilang penat Ibu masak). Both of them love spaghetti bolognaise especially with fresh sweet basil leaves and angel hair spaghetti. Here's what it looks like. Of course it doesn't look like the original bolognaise sauce because it is very Malaysianized but it is how they like it. Bon appétit! :).
