Touch of Love

I always does like to listen to Jacky Cheung's album, especially this old albums, most of the romantic song that he sang has a very charming tone that really touches your heart. If you're sentimental enough, probably you will tears while some memory recall from deep inside your universe.

If there is someone listening this song with you, and gentility touch you with his finger tips on your forehead, your silky hair and on your skin; it will makes you truly drunk into that moment. And probably you should tell him that you really do enjoy the moment you both shared.


~ Touch of Love ~
'Tis the season now
For gifts and giving all
The love our hearts And dreams can afford

And when I think about
The hope that you've handed it out
I want to give back all I have And then some more

But I 'm only human I can only do so much
But all the miracles we need Is just one touch,
just one touch

(Chorus)
From me from you helping someone who can't
make it on their own No one wants to be alone
at a time like this Only joy should exist
When the world gets too much
All we need, all we need is a touch of love
A touch of love

When hard times appear
When we drown in our tears
There's faith enough to see us through

Whatever rains on us we can always trust
That heaven's hand will guide us through
Yeah we're only human

But we can all do so much
All the miracles we need
Is just one touch Yeah just one touch


(Chorus)
From me from you helping someone who can't
make it on their own No one wants to be alone
at a time like this Only joy should exist
When the world gets too much
All we need, all we need is a touch of love
A touch of love

It took a child t touch the world
Just think what we can do
Think of the miracles

遇見 by 孫燕姿

A Song that I wish to dedicate to everyone who read the post. This is a good song, especially the piano part. Is my favorite.

歌名: 遇見

演唱: 孫燕姿
附註: 演唱: 楊千嬅
作曲: 林一峰, 編曲: Terence Teo
監製,填詞: 易家揚

聽見 冬天 的離開 我在某年某月醒過來
我想 我等 我期待 未來卻不能因此安排

陰天 傍晚 車窗外 未來有一個人在等待
向左 向右 向前看 愛要拐幾個彎才來

我遇見誰 會有怎樣的對白
我等的人 他在多遠的未來
我聽見風 來自地鐵和人海
我排著隊 拿著愛的號碼牌*

我往前飛 飛過一片時間海
我們也曾 在愛情備受傷害
我看著路 夢的入口有點窄
我遇見你 是最美麗的意外
總有一天 我的謎底會解開

Apple Cinnamon Cake

Over the weekend, I've made my first Apple Cinnamon Cake. I was inspire by the photo and the recipe from " A Daily Obsession". However, I add a little bit more of the cinnamon powder cause I love Cinnamon ...

Too bad is, I don't have enough cream cheese to cover the side cause I used for the carrot walnut cake which I bake for grandma's birthday. Anyway, I'm not too sure how is the cake suppose to taste like base on looking on Terri's blog, but mine guess not too bad; just that the apple is still crunchy and still able to take a bit of sour. I wonder .... is it suppose to be like that ? But actually I don't mind it's crunchy .

Dear said if eat with the cake and almond taste fine, and he rate my cake with 3 star out of 5 and mom said it taste nice also. Probably next time I should boil the apples with sugar water first.

Christmas

Christmas, is one of the festival in a year I love the most. Christmas light, Christmas Decorations, Turkey, Desserts, roasted chestnuts, cranberries, get-togethers with friends to celebrate. However, I still didn't have a Christmas which I can say is special to be remembered.

Yes, indeed almost each year I celebrate it with friends in some party, gathering or clubbing before, and yet; non of it keep a clear and strong memorable night for me.Since I was a little gal, I seen those Christmas celebrate in the TV and it always does amazing me but it never able to happen in my life. Long decorate table with lots of food and desserts, house decorated with lights, tress, red socks with peaceful Christmas Choir which makes you feel living in the heaven. Maybe It will happen if I were born in western country ...

Anyway, I get myself 2 little cute item during last Saturday shopping in Pavilion.



A "Christmas Tree", maybe I should decorate it .


A Gift to my boss supposely, but I've change my mind . . .


I did plan to make my first ginger bread and pack it nicely into a lovely wrapper and give it out to my friends as a Christmas gift but yet I still haven't get all the ingredients prepared. Probably this weekend will drop by bake with yen to get it. Hope my gingerbread will be awesome.

MOF’s Japanese Sweets & Coffee @ Pavilion KL

After our dinner at Pepper Lunch Restaurant. We went for the 3rd station - DESSERT !! We choose to have our dessert at MOF since our friend has try it before and it seems nice to me too after we have a look at the menu at the entrance.

We went in and choose a nice sofa seat and wait to be served. After flipping the me
nu and I've decided to have Matcha Kakigori and my dear ordered banana Ice Blended. However, the waiter request us to pay at the counter first before head and I feel bit of unhappy cause they have so many staffs but then we have to go pay our self at the counter and they have a double standard service that they help a foreigner guest which sits behind us to pay his bill

While we waiting for the dessert to be serve and my dear suddenly though of, all the food we have today is imported from Singapore except the Herbal Chicken Soup Noodle, but it was manage by Food Republic which also from Singapore . . . . lol



Match Kakigori - Wow !! Is So Big (RM11)



Banana Iced blended (RM11)


MOF's Tips


Eating half way, we were already very full and also kinda regret to order Iced Blended drink cause the Kakigori portion was so big. After finishing the Kakigori and half cup of the Iced Blended, we decide to pay and have a walk around the mall with it while also waiting for digest. Same goes to this shop, no tax at all, the total bill was RM22. Guess I fall in love with this place already, I rate 4/5 **** for the dessert but not the service. Can't say is bad, just feel a little upset their service.

I bring dear outside of the mall which there is few fine dining restaurant and some cafe which is pack with people always during the night time. It has sort called as mini bintang walk. We say some people putting on massacred promoting " Malaysia Saving Sales". I took 2
picture of the nicer one I felt of.


" Hi Leng Lui, is the goodies bag for me? "



This is the clown this quietly hide behind me and try to frighten me, and he was jealous that I took photo of the pretty lady. He jump in front of me and keep making many post to make me capture a photo of him too, haha .... Funny little guy.

Pepper Lunch @ Pavilion

Last Saturday's evening was a rainy day during the evening while I'm sending some fruit tarts home for mom; It was an order from her friend's daughter wedding's party.



Mom was asked a favor from the lady to handle the food for catering. Around 5pm, the lady came pick up my mom and her foods, I helped mom to carry the things to down stairs and realize that lady was not giving her hands on the stuff and sitting inside the car like is no rain. My poor mom have to shift the stuff to the car under the drizzling rain; I felt so pissed off that woman!!


We head off to Pavilion a while later when the rain stops, and surprisingly the traffic was clear and we park in Star Hill Gallery cause is only 5 bucks flat. The first thing I see when we reach Pavilion main entrance is the previous year " Christmas Tree" just that the decoration is different. I preferred last year decoration, it was classic and romantic with white and purple.

After a short walk at the concourse area, we head to the foods level and it was packed with people and what do you smell ? FOOD of course !! We walked one round to see what's news in the place since the last I went there is during June. But it seems only 4 new stalls and nothing much changes. It was kinda early to have dinner when I saw the time was only 6pm but then my dear said is fine to take it now.


So, we have our first stop at Ah Yip Soup House in Food Republic. We share a bowl of Herbal Chicken Drumstick noodle soup. The soup is nice with selected herbal we use to know, the
meat is fresh and tender to be eaten. I asked for extra chicken ginger gravy to dip the meat as well; the ideal is to have dry and soup.

The next Stop is the Main Course for today which make us purpose travel to Pavilion - Pepper Lunch !!!


We are looking at their MENU and we decide to order the same one we had in Singapore Last year - Curry Pepper Rice with Cheese.


My dear cooking the yummy beef with the curry rice


Tips ~

Tadaaaaa ~~~ Is ready to eat ... yummy !!!


This product was first came out in Japan and also registered for their product trade mark. The first I had it was during my trip to Singapore last year. And this year they bring in this to Malaysia and newly operate on 5th Dec, 2008 but too bad they didn't give any opening promotion or discount. The one thing to be glad is they don't have any tax.

Ipoh Chicken Rice in Mid Valley

After settle some work in a courier company that located in North Point, was thinking what to have for lunch. I was so hungry after gym section with Sunny's class. I have so many food popping in head and Matthew was so speechless when I keep changing my mind while we walking. And then ....... I saw this .....


Really from Ipoh ? ... I wonder ......


hmm .... fighting business with mamak or Kim Gary ?


It's a new restaurant that I didn't realize cause no one talks about it. It was very pack but still the waitress manage to get us 2 seat at table 23, nice number.



The workers there reminds me when you enter a Japanese restaurant when they all will greet you in the same time. All the workers are dress up in proper uniform of orange and black with a beret on their head label with their restaurant name. I guess there is like over 30 workers in the restaurant.

After we settle down, we was given a menu and the price was like kinda average compare with others places. They serve the dishes in individual order or you may order according to the size of the dish for all sharing. We start to place our order and wait for it ....

Here comes our lunch *drooling* cause of hunger ~.~


Roasted Chicken (Individual) - RM 5.00


Roasted Chicken with Char Siew (Individual) RM 8.50 * wtf *


Butter Oil Rice

Bean Sprout (small) - RM 2.00

~How can you not order this when you visit Ipoh Chicken Rice Shop
~

Pork Meat Ball with Dried Cuttle Fish - RM 1.00 per piece


After the meal, and I asked for the bill, when it comes; I was kinda shock when I see my add on Char Siew cost RM 3.50 with like 5 thin pieces? and it comes with fats that don't melted in your mouth that I had before in Petaling Street. The herbal tea was extremely expensive compare to other place, RM2.20 per glass.

Thus, my conclusion will be, if I would pay another visit again, I shall not order combo meat for my individual meal cause is not worth that price +____+

Rose Cake ?


This was displayed beside a cookies stall in front of Bread Story, the curve. The art of the decoration is amazing and it reminds me of the cartoon beauty and the beast. But that was only 1 rose in the casing and this has more with butterflies as well. The roses look so real and you wouldn't' realize is a pastry from far.

Nice desert usually made with lots of icing sugar and is surely fattening, but this display seems is nice to see but not able to eat I guess or even is sell able also not sure. Nowadays, desserts are getting more creative and tempting to be eaten and it means FAT !!
