Garrett Popcorn & RT Pastry House's Hokkaido Soft Cake

There's a new buzz in town, that is Garrett Popcorn Shops. It is newly open in KLCC. It's arrival has been a crazy buzz and everyone just want to get a bite of it. After it's open for around a week, every time I passed by there's a crazy long queue.

I wanted to give it a try but the queue was just too long to wait. After two weeks of passing by, I can't resist the temptation and join in the queue as well.

I'm at the end of the line and the queue is a zig-zag line

It's was nearing the end of the day, the popcorns were running out. I was afraid that when it's my turn, they ran out of popcorns. Luckily, they 'pop' some more corns out for me when it was my turn and they ran out of  one of the flavours.

Sorry, I was too short to take a nice view of the flavours they got :(

These are the flavours you can get from Garrett Popcorn Shop. They have Chicago Mix (CheeseCorn and CaramelCrisp combo), CheeseCorn, CaremelCrisp, Plain, Butter, CaramelCrisp with Almond, CaramelCrisp with Cashew and CaramelCrisp with Macadamia.

That's what they say, unchanged for 60 years!

Chicago Mix

I got myself a small size Chicago Mix, what not a better way to try both flavours. It's a bit pricey for a bag of popcorn but after you have tasted it, it's all worth it. The size of a small bag of popcorn is bigger than your normal regular size of popcorn from the cinema.

CaramelCrisp

Check out the size of the popcorn, it's definitely bigger than your normal size popcorn. All of the popcorns were coated evenly with Caramel and Cheese. The taste is indeed delicious. Caramel is not over sweet, Cheese taste like Twister Cheese LOL! I can't really finish a whole bag of it. I kept them in the fridge and the overnight Cheese taste so much better! Yumzz... I don't think I'll have cinema popcorns the same way anymore.

Ever since, I was introduce to RT Pastry House, I have never love a bakery shop so much that I could die for any of their breads or cakes.

If I were to be around one of RT Pastry House's branch, I would hop in and get me some breads for breakfast or some desserts.

Hokkaido Soft Cake

Recently, they have a new pasty - Hokkaido Soft Cake. I don't know is this seasonal or what but it was at the counter selling fast! I just have to get my hands on them. 

They look like muffin/bread. Aren't they look chio and tasty? It's strawberry flavour too! How Heavenly they sound!

Strawberry Custard Cream filling

I love them so much! The texture are puffy/fluffy that it's soft enough to melt in your mouth! The strawberry custard cream filling with sprinkle icing is really to die for! 

I wonder is this what they really have in Hokkaido for Winter dessert. LOL

Talking about it makes me miss having it, I want to get some more of it!

Social Network Vending Machine

Japan is well know of their variety of vending machine. You can get from beverage, food, magazines, toys and *ahem* adult stuff O.O

All kinds of soft drinks

Ice cream vending machine!

Snacks and fun card games vending machine

Even banana vending machine, it's expensive though

In Malaysia, we don't tend to get much fancy vending machine. We only have the typical beverage vending machines.

Well, I can't say that we are keeping up with having different types of vending machine but I think this is a start. I'm presenting you First in Malaysia's Social Network vending machine! 

LOL! I find it quite hilarious! You can get Social Network T-Shirts now. It's not pricey, it's around RM30 if I'm not mistaken.

The T-Shirts have the famous 'Thumbs Up LIKE' icon, 'It's Complicated' relationship status and 'Add as Friend' request.

I stumble upon this vending machine in eCurve when I went to watch the movie premier. Go check it out when you are there or if you are interested in getting more 'Social Network Friends' ROFL!

Say NO to Airport Tax Increase

Air Asia came to our lives and given us a lot of opportunities to explore other countries with low low low airfares. We are so blessed. Tell me are you thankful that we could get such low fares? Tell me that you haven't travel to another country with Air Asia RM0 fare promotion? Tell me that you haven't been travelling more than you used to in a year?

All this we have Air Asia to thank for. Though we have to be grateful too that we only pay for low airport tax too. Low fare + low airport tax = happy traveller.

Now, we can't take things for granted. Starting 1st December 2011, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) will increase taxes for all international departing flights.

Currently, Air Asia's airport facilities are not up to par yet and they feel that the airport tax increase is  unjustified.

Now is time for us to show our appreciation and we would want to maintain our low airfare every time we travel, Say NO to Airport Tax Increase!

Here are the list of affected airports, you may learn more on how increase airport tax affect you.

Have your say in increase airport tax to media@malaysiaairports.com.my or bashir@malaysiaairports.com.my

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

Before I start anything, here's the exciting trailer for you:


Thanks to Nuffnang (always!) I get to watch the premier of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 last Wednesday at Cathay Cineplax, eCurve.

Frankly, I'm not a humongous Twilight fan, I didn't read any of the books but I watch every single Saga. This saga is the best saga of all! I LOVE all vampire stories! You can say that I'm not a Twilight fan but a vampy fan LOL, Yes, I'm weird.

The Wedding of the century

This saga is just the introduction for the ending of Twilight, the wedding of the century that everyone is talking about. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's wedding. Well, some are pretty piss about the wedding, like Jacab Black.

The wedding still goes on and so does the Honeymoon. Edward and Bella in an exotic island. Hmm... sounds exotic! OK, that turns out bad LOL!

A pass by at Rio to their Honeymoon exotic island

Exotic waterfall

Turns out Bella is pregnant and nobody wants her to keep the baby. The baby is draining everything from her including KILLING her, AIKSS......

Edward talking with the baby

There's a lot of intense between Jacob and his werewolf pack when the they found out that Bella is pregnant and they want to kill Bella and the baby.

I used to be Team Edward at the beginning then I got confuse at New Moon but I'm now in Team Jacob. LOL! Jacob's scarifies his love for Bella is relatable to us, Humans. He will protect Bella no matter what!

Jacob protecting the baby

Indeed the baby kill Bella when she's born and if you have read the book, Bella is turn into a Vampy! The next part will be talking more on the new born baby, Renesmee and the Volturi. Sigh... Y U NO Continue showing?!!!!

I guess till then we just have to stay tune... Maybe I'll be Team Renesmee then... I know I'm such a waver :(

Suki-Ya

Anybody who knows me will know that I'm not a Steamboat/Shabu Shabu person and I won't choose them in my food list (Yes, I'm a list person) even I don't know what to have I still will not resorted in having Steamboat/Shabu Shabu.

Went to Suki-Ya at Pavilion to give it a try 2 weekends ago and I'll definitely put Suki-Ya in my food list. NO! Steamboat/Shabu Shabu will still not be in it. It's just different with Suki-Ya! Well it's a much more healthier kind of Steamboat. Read on and you'll see what I'm talking about. 

Pricing and partial menu

As you can see their interior is in Japanese style for Suki-Ya is located at Tokyo Street of Pavilion. Nice?

Wooden bucket lamp *screams cuteness*

Sorry for the lame lighting, I didn't really set my camera lighting correctly. PHAIL :(

They have a Healthy Bar. It doesn't have a wide range of food where you can find at any of the Steamboat/Shabu Shabu places. Though it's just enough for you to take ALL in (if you can). After all it stated 'Healthy'. They do not have a dessert bar but they have a soft ice-cream machine and assorted toppings for you to make your own ice-cream. They have Vanilla, Chocolate and a mix of Vanilla and Chocolate flavours, just like the ones we used have in Mc Donald's. Love max!

Veges from the Healthy Bar

Variety of mushrooms ❤

 

Check out at the most right two round Japanese Tofu alike on the left plate. It's actually disguise CHEESE Japanese Tofu! At the first bite I thought it's one of those fish cakes but then bits of CHEESE melted in my mouth and texture of the fish cake is so soft and smooth. Next time around I'll just have all of those! Yumz....

 

They have soup base of Shoyu, Sukiyaki and Kimchi. We went for the Kimchi (left) and Sukiyaki (right). Check out their sauce too, I don't know what does the black sauce is but it's tasted a mixture of Shoyu, Vineger and a hint of lemon! Goes well with chicken or lamb. The red sauce is not chilli sauce, I don't know what it is either but it has bits of garlic, very small amount of chillies and other stuff. It goes well with all types of meat. I love it a lot!

STACKS of meats!

Suki-Ya has 3 choices of meat for you to choose from. Mind you is ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT for all the meats. They have Chicken (bottom), Lamb (middle) and Beef (top). You can choose which meat you can to have or ALL. We went for ALL of the choices! *greedy* LOL!

The meats are all very fresh, the thickness is nicely cut and the portions are generous! For me the chicken is just quite normal to have so it's not that special. You still can go for chicken.

Gone with all the healthy food

Sukiyaki soup base makes all your food SWEET. I love it very much! At the beginning it might be too sweet but once you boil the meat and vegetables they all go so well. Every bite of the food is Sukiyaki~~~ *like a song wtf LOL!*

Kimchi soup base is not too spicy, I'm a person who can't take spicy food, so I mean not too spicy, it might mean mild spicy to those who take their spicy food seriously. At the end of the meal, the Kimchi soup is full of flavour with all the goodness of meat and veges. *drooling*

Aarrgg... raw meat, here I come!

Just a few swaps and it's ready to be eaten

By the way, I think is the special pot they use. The soup doesn't seem to dry up quickly. We only added the Kimchi soup ONCE and it's towards the end of the fulfilling meal. There's still some left for the Sukiyaki soup base when we completed the meal. I guess the meat and veges that soak up the soup only the soup reduces ROFL!

Happy me with my food 

One thing I like is the electrical stove they use. It's safe, it doesn't make you sweat throughout your whole meal and you don't have to keep adjusting the fire volume when you are boiling the food, it's already been set properly.

Dessert time! Mix flavour (left), Chocolate flavour with raisins and chocolate flakes

You can eat it with cone too ;p

Would definitely go to Suki-Ya again and again and again! It blow me off! Blogging this makes me hungry...
