crazy for macaroons and cakes.

I had a dream. In my dream, i ate THE most delicious cake ever! Bangun bangun je the first thing yang terlintas kat dalam otak " I NEED TO EAT SOME CAKE". like,gila wajib dan perlu.

but unfortunately,tak semua yang kita nak tu dapat. I intend to go to Levain Bakery located at Jalan Imbi with a few dessert-craze friends of mine, but then semua ada hal masing-masing. In the end, the best that i can do is eat at Secret Recipies. tasted their new Chocolate Lava,but for me, tak berapa nak sedap sangat la.

Few days later, best buddy (Siti Nadia Darduri. ye cik siti) also had the same craving as mine. Kami nak makan kek! She suggest us to go to Serai Restaurant at Empire Subang Shopping Gallery. And guest what i found there.

the ever most delicious cake ever made and i ever taste.

Pavlova cake. served best with a cup of Cappuccino.

dan oleh sebab Siti taknak makan makanan yang sama,

dia dan Kat order Chocolate Lava Cake,

which, for me, waay better than Secret Recipies'.

miss Hana and her boyfie decided to eat nasi.

Hana,kami datang untuk dessert okey!

sila ikut tema!

Hana dan mr boyfie.

In a few minutes, a whole slice of Pavlova is done!

Sebelum dijemput Siti, i did a few research on Serai Restaurant. most of them said there are a few reasons why Serai is one of the must-visit-restaurant ever. First, THE PAVLOVA of course. Second, cute guys are serving you. Ye saya akui memang pelayan kat sana sangat cute. Cute as in, international-cute. Yela, mamat comel Myanmar mana dia kaut. Tapi cute. Trust me. >.< *serious face*

Ketiga, tauke yang peramah. Sempat borak-borak dengan kami dan tanya macam-macam gak la. Not to the annoying point but yeah, you'll feel comfy. Other reasons, go find out yourself. Hehe

Dalam borak-borak, habis dah satu slice Pavlova. Owh damn i just can't get enough of it! So order lagi satu. Sedap gilaaaaaaa. Please kalau kamu tahu mana-mana yang jual Pavlova Cake lagi please do tell me. Pretty please?

Dan alang-alang berada di Empire, sempat singgah sekejap ke Whisk Espresso Bar and Bake Shop to buy this!

Kegilaan terhadap macaroons semakin menjadi-jadi.

FYI, miss Latifah ada bercadang untuk membuat macaroons. She even gave us the recipies but.. oh well.. hancur berkecai punah musnah. Takkan dipandang ke belakang lagi. Okey stop. I think everyone got the idea now. Shall we move on?

gila pura pura tidur.

Thanks Serai. Hurm, the only, and obvious downfall for this restaurant is the food is too pricey. Too pricey, for a student like us. Nasi untuk rm15? no way man. But then again untuk delicious dessert macam Pavlova, i'll pay any price for you. ah lupa nak bagitau. One huge slice of Pavlova cake cost rm 14.80. For that heaven on earth experience, man.. tak tergambar sanggup buat apa saja. Okey saya bila bercerita memang hyperbola sikit. maaf.

Any place worth your recommendation?

Malacca, historical city

Tons of plan had been made. A number of SMS-es had been sent. Emails, bus tickets, sweater/jacket,card, semua dah dipersediakan untuk perancangan kali ini. Perfect? In my mind it is. Tapi semua rancang tak berapa nak jadi sangat la. For what Yan?

for Fairus' Suprise Birthday Party!!

..but the word 'party' doesn't really implies much.

Still, perut gelodak geleduk untuk menyiapkan suprise ni. Dah nak sampai Melaka terasa lutut longgar, tangan berpeluh, perut nak tercirit. Kuatkan hati terus pergi jugak Dataran Pahlawan walaupun kena jalan kaki!

The original plan was to ask Yus to wait at some park. Buy some balloons and asked some kids to pass the balloons to him. Then i'll come to him with the rest of the balloons, while giving him his present. Owh gila romantis.

Tapi di kala kelam kabut dan bus yang sampai lambat, i had to cancel that plan and just meet him at the Dataran Pahlawan. He is suprised,mind you,tapi dalam hati terasa macam nak sangat buat seperti apa yang di plan. T.T

Anyway, he is indeed very happy. Sangat gembira sampai ala-ala nak belikan perfume je. Haha. Kena mintak mahal-mahal ni.

So we spend the evening at Dataran Pahlawan, lepak-ing and hanging out. Terasa macam dekat KL sungguh. Owh Melaka maju 2010 mehh~~ btol ai terasa kat key ell.

hanging out at the pool bar

terasa macam budak sekolah lepak kat tangga. LOL

Malam menjelma. Aicehhhh~

Lepas drop budak botak beramai-ramai, dia patah balik dan lepak bersama ku. Sebab lama sangat hantar diorang, (jarak ALAM dengan bandar Melaka sejam oke) kami decide untuk pergi one place yang rasa mesti buat everytime pergi Melaka. Kami naik River Cruise!

Tak ambik gambar banyak-banyak pun. But still, walaupun River Cruise nampak/dengar macam lame gile, untuk orang yang tak pernah or jarang datang Melaka kena naik la. Sebab lalu banyak tempat, and the history behind it is reveal. Sebab saya tak ambil gambar banyak, so curi gambar dari Melaka River Cruise. Sangat puas hati sebab seronokla wak! heh Antara tempat yang kami lalu ;

Eye on Malaysia Ferris Wheel

lalu kat Melaka River.
eh tapi Yus kata ni air laut.
saya dah kompius. <- gila fail Geo.

lalu dekat Kampung Morten.
kampung Morten adalah salah satu warisan yang dipelihara oleh kerajaan Melaka.
Cantik gila design rumah dia. Lip lap lip lap.
Wajib tengok meh.

Melaka Night Scenery.

Eye on Malaysia from my hp. (==")

Lepas dah setel River Cruise, kami jalan-jalan untuk penuhi nafsu makan. Kata orang, asam pedas Melaka is TEH BEST. Kire makanan signature orang sana la. Kat mana yang sedap ni?

walaupun tak nampak sangat,
tapi belakang saya ialah Kincir Air yang gila besaw.
Digunakan dari Kerajaan Negeri Melaka lagi.

Dalam jalan nak cari makan, jumpa Jonker Walk. Ada apa kat Jonker Walk? Basically macam pasar malam, tapi nampak lagi heaven dengan barang-barang rare yang susah nak jumpa. You know what, i found some old, really old picture in Malaysia. dated back from 1970's. Gamba Masjid Jamek yang lama, gamba Dataran Merdeka yang lama. Gila nostalgik. Banyak lak tu. For just rm5. Bagi sesiapa yang terasa nostalgik/historian-to-be (hint : Azam) sila beli dan tampal kat rumah. Tak sah jadi ahli sejarahwan kalau takde gambar lama mehhh.

Jonker Walk berada di tepi Jalan Hang Jebat. ahh! Terasa nak bersilat! Haa,masuk masuk!!


Apa motif berjalan jauh-jauh? Nak makan weyh!! Lapar ni. Dengan nak cari asam pedas terbaik, kami tanya pakcik teksi. Luckily for us, pakcik teksi tu bagi suggestion terbaik punya. TEH BEST ASAM PEDAS punya restoran memang dekat dengan Jonker Walk. The most famous? Asam Pedas Daging *something* (maaf lupa nama dia tapi bunyi macam lucah sikit. Sumpah!) Sampai sana sila order yang itu kay? Yang lain semua asam pedas ikan.

This is the most wajib place to go.
Gila lain asam pedas dia. terbaik!

Masa Yus nak hantar balik hotel,kami nampak banyak gak la kereta tersadai tepi Menara Taming Sari. Tengok-tengok, pergh ada pulak orang dok show off sound system yang gila melalak. Berdiri dekat sikit je boleh rasa jantung nak terkeluar. Dia punya beat tu, oh dammit. Yus kata macam ni la kalau masuk club. O rly? Sah aku memang tak ley masuk club. Gila nak meletup jantung weyh. haha Sumpah i terasa kat key-ell y'allllll

MyVi je kowt. tapi meletup!

So the next morning yus pick me up dan kami pergi ke Melaka Sentral. He gotta go early sebab nak pulangkan kereta sewa. OWH DAMN! why? why? Sedih gila sebab terasa nak spend lagi masa dengan dia. Hati sayu gilaaaaaaaaaa.


Sampai kat Shah Alam dalam pukul 2. T.T masih lagi berada dalam mode tak percaya dah sampai rumah. Waaa!! Dalam bus air mata mengalir sebab terasa macam sayu je nak berpisah. Gila gedik. Tolong ingatkan akuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu banyak lagi assignment tak siap oke? Fine.

Overall,gila best dapat pergi Melaka. Memang dah berubah gila la dari memori aku. Memori zaman budak sekolah rendah agaknya. Hah. Lepas ni boleh datang lagi sebab tak naik lagi Menara Taming Sari. Masa aku datang ni diorang tengah buat maintainance. Takpela. Lepas ni sapa nak follow pergi Melaka lagi?

Macaroons and shopping!

*before anything, i have to warn you that this is a long post filled with pictures and screaming*

New year means shopping. Or isn't it?

Sorry. Let me re-phrase that. New years refers to new amount of debt being cashed into your account which soon be the hell on earth in the terms of paying. get what i mean?

So dengan niat untuk membazirkan duit dan mengikut kehendak nafsu nafsi yang memuncak, saya danAzizah Jahiman telah pergi ke suatu event yang wajib pergi dekat Old Blossom Box bagi setiap fashion blogger di Malaysia. okey that's exaggerate yan. T.T

But still,kalau kamu selalu tengok dan baca blog blogger-blogger fashionista bertudung yang ever ramai kat Malaysia, i'm sure kamu kenal jugak dengan sorang dua dari mereka. Jadi tak payah nak cakap banyak, mari kita lihat siapa yang kena!


First-first masuk kedai jumpa the ever famous Shea Rasol. I've talked about her in one of my most-visited entry here. I loooovvveee the way Shea dressed up. sangat comel dan sweet. And in real life dia sangat comel okey? And she's nice even outside blog. (because she replied to my tweets! hehe)

totally love your shawl!

Kami datang pukul 12++ kot. Terasa macam awal, tapi tengok-tengok ramai gila yang dah datang. Lepas tangkap gamba, terus serbu + cari-cari + selit-selit + gaduh-gaduh cari baju. OMG ramai gila orang. And believe me semua cantik-cantik. Gila la tengok kasut mereka semua! Hey mana satu yang artist ni? Semua cantik okey? Dan kalau ada lelaki mesti macam "okey yang ni buat bini, yang ni bini no 2, eh tak, ni madu dia, eh yang ni pun okey.." LOL

makcik pun ada kan? Sesak mehhh

Jijah tengah hunt for baju.

Last-last terasa macam give up sikit. I'm not that particularly good in fighting and searching for ultimate dress/shirt/whatever. Heh So jalan pusing dalam kedai tengok awek come lote, jumpa dengan owner kedai ni. Presenting cute tiny little Jezmine! As an owner of the shop, dia sangat berkaliber okey? Dan baju dia pun cute. But she's more to vintage style. Ala-ala Audrey Hepburn tau?

tangkap gamba sambil pegang baju pilihan.
hihihi

Kami lepak lama jugak rasanya. Dari orang sesak memilih baju,sampai orang dah beratur nak balik. Lepak, duduk-duduk, cam-whore, makan macaroons yang super delicious (will be explain later), tengok orang and gossip. Owh i love this day Jijah! kita kena pergi shopping sama lagi kay? >.<

Miss X (*identiti tidak diketahui) : So i got big butt. What type of skirt should i buy? where can i find them? Which shirt/blause suits me?

Fashion Expert Shea : Erm. Yes you got big butt. (<-- ayat tipu. Shea tak cakap camni. haha) Skirt which suits you......*maaf rahsia sulit*

asking for a piece of advise from
fashion guru.

with lovely and gorgeous miss Ami
from Sputnik Sweetheart! :)

The among all fashionista that i followed, i really admired miss Adriana. She's so simple and sweet, dan baju dia semua nya lawa-lawa kowt. Luckily i got the chance to see her in person. Yay for that!



Ehem,sapa tak kenal Nurul Cakapcakap meh sini kena babap!



And lastly, heaven on earth is all about food. Dem this macaroons surely taste super awesome! Terasa betul-betul ada letupan bunga api dalam hati (Ahadiat Akashah ke?). First time ever makan macaroons, and thank god i had an awesome experience with it. Lepas ni mesti nak lagi! Dan ye i tasted this lovely and super fast selling macaroon home-made by Aishah from That Last Slice, don't wait till that last slice! It's true!

ehem and Aishah.

Tima to eat! Makan kat kafe bawah kedai, so masa tunggu makanan sampai, ramai fashionista = customer Old Blossom Box yang turun dan makan kat situ. Abang-abang waiter mesti bersyukur dapat kerja ari tu kan?

Semua yang datang bawak kereta. Kami student jadi pakai motor je. T.T takpe,kami bawak motor kami okey! ;p


Any good places/kafe that offer superb macaroons? please do tell.

p/s : i saw myself in Nurul CakapCakap and Adriani mehhh~~ agak bangga disitu. When famous blogger include your picture in her blog, terasa macam masuk dalam surat khabar. hihihi
