Ben's Grocer @ Publika

My mom called yesterday and asked if I wanted to join her for shopping day at Publika. OFCOURSE MOM!!!! It's been soooooooo long since we've went out together mom. (eventhough we see each other everyday when I drop my kids at your place) I kinda envy my younger siblings because they have more privilege of going out with my mom whenever they please. *sigh* I really miss going out with you mum! *sobs* *sobs*

Concourse area of Publika. They have some sort of flea market that Sunday

and my aunt who takes care of my kids when I'm off at work. ^^
Youngest bro and mum goofing off

We went to Ben's grocer's for brunch. It's like your usual grocery store, but the stuff there are super expensive. Well, mainly because they cater imported stuff similar to Jaya Grocer or Cold Storage. If I have a hard to find ingredients for them western recipe, I know where to find 'em already. hehe.. Oh, another thing is, eventhough it's called a grocery store but they do have a small quaint cafe/eating spot in the middle of the store.

Food station
Good ol' burger and fries.
Various dishes! Next time I'm gonna try their quiche and lasagne.
Pizzzaaaa. It was okay. My son loves it~
This is what i had. Mocha and choco-banana-almond cake. Quite nice! ^^)b

We had cake, coffee, pizza and burger. It was okay. Nothing special. Next time, we might want to try the "grilled" stuff. That one looks tantalizing! You can pick your meat and ask the chef to cook for you, for an extra little bit of price ofcourse. I think it's still worth it. :)

DROOOOOLLLLSSS!!!!!! I LOVE MEAT!! Totally not made for vegetarian ahahaha!
The bomb!





Nice day going out.
We should do this again mom! ^^
Love you!

Nah, belanja selfie sikit. Hehe.. Baby girl not cooperating with mummy. =3=

A Night Out To MyBurgerLab@OUG!

Eversince I settled down, got married and have kids, it's really hard for me to go out at night and hang out with my friends. Firstly, because my responsibility now is geared more towards our little family. I wish to be there for my kids when they need me, and they need me a lot when they're still babies. You know, being a mum is never easy. Being a mother of two is even harder. It's never a breeze and there's hardly break for you! lol but the good thing is, I think I am getting the hang of it more than ever now. It takes a lot of compromise and patience with my husband, but all in all, usually everything went well after a little talk. :) Now that my youngest is older, she's less fussy and gets along better with my husband. That means, I can leave her (and her brother) alone with my husband sometimes at night and have some of my me-time with friends to recharge!
*^_^*

Tonight is one of those rare nights that I was able to hang out way past working hours. Yay! So my colleagues and I decided to go and try this burger place just 3 minutes drive from work. It's called MYBURGERLAB! We have been wanting to go since a while ago, but never got the chance. One of my colleague passed by the place during lunch time but it was closed. Then only we knew that it's only open for dinner.

We reached there around 8.30pm and it was packed! We came in a party of 6 and since the place is full of peepoz, we had to split tables. Oh well, it's not a big deal. Ordering was a bit confusing at first if you don't know what to order but lucky for us, their menu is huge ass on the wall. You can look at it and decide what you're gonna have while waiting in line the long queue.


The menu on the wall. This was on April 2015.
I heard they often change their menus base on events and stuff so do check out their specials!
Oh, the number on the top right of each boxes are the price. :-)
(Click on image for bigger view)

After ordering and paying, we were given a bill with a number. So just wait for them to call up the number and voila! You're ready to enjoy your meal. Which, usually isn't that long. >v<
And now, time to chow down!!

My friend's Say Cheese Burger. Yum!


My A+ Burger! OMG that sharp cheddar is awesome!

A colleague tried the Cthulu burger! I have to say it taste a little bit like sushi! XD;
This was back when there was a promo. It's Kaiju burger.


You can check out their menus from their website at myburgerlab.com
The prices are for ala-carte burger only. If you to add fries and bottomless soda, just add RM6.50. All prices are inclusive of GST. (based on the site, as per this review is written) So far, I had a pretty nice experience here. Would definitely go again! ^_^

Address :
8, Jalan Awan Hijau,
Taman OUG,
58200 Kuala Lumpur.
Opening Hours :
Tuesdays ~ Sundays
5:00PM ~ 10:15PM

Verdict:

Taste ★★★★☆
Quite unique and rich taste. I think they're really bold to try different ingredients things in their burger other than your usual meat patty, veges and cheese. Oh, their charcoal bun is soft! If you're into soft bread burgers, this is it)

Portion ★★☆☆☆
It's good enough for me, but most of my guy friends said the burger size is too little and not too fulfilling

Value ★★★☆☆
A bit on the pricey side but it's good that they give out free kids meal! ^^ Plus point for me as a parent of two kids haha

Ambiance ★★★★☆
Totally nice deco and cozy. Definitely cozy. A bit noisy since there are a lot of people

Halal Certified : Yes
The last time I went there, they displayed their halal certificate at the counter.
No pork or alcohol served, definitely.
OVERALL VERDICT : ★★★★☆

Cravings Satisfied (partly)

So I managed to whip up that salmon sashimi from the recipe I got by majnouna. Bough salmon from Jusco and the soy sauce there. Butchered up some cucumbers and spring onion and whipped it up with sesame seed oil and sesame seeds. and VOILA~~~

It doesn't taste as good as I expected (I didn't get enough soy sauce ;_; ), but it did cure my cravings. Nyammsss!! Sad thing is, I still want more. Maybe end of this month I'll go to the Sushi King RM3 member's day. HUE HUE HUEEEEE!!!!

CRAVINGS!!!



omg.....I have been so swamped with work that I hardly have time for myself. URGH!!! All these work makes me hungry and for a sudden random reason I am craving for salmon sashimi...or sushi...my uncle said it's cheaper to just make it yourself rather than splurge at restaurants so I guess I could give it a try. It's not that hard I think. (HAHA iyolah)

Stumbled upon this on deviantart and it looks quite easy to do! Gonna try it once I got my hands on some salmon fillet. Jusco? Coldstorage? Isetan? Or just go to the wet market and ask? Hmm.. think I'll try Jusco's first and see how. Weehoohaa!

Cheaper Food at Gourmessa by Pok Brothers, Glenmarie


Husband and I took leave today to settle off some errands that we have been postponing. It has been a very great and productive day today. Let's see what we did today
  1. We managed to get the GL (guarantee letter) from Proton (husband's employee) for ante-natal checkup and delivery at PPUM.
  2. We managed to book for delivery at PPUM. They only accept bookings for delivery after 7 months of pregnancy (unless for special cases with doctor's referral note).
  3. We managed to set an appointment for the 3D scan at Klinik Ajwa, Section 7. Going for my scan on December 6th 2013. Hoping to see my baby's gender more clearly with the scan (as well as to monitor baby's development clearly) Since we did one for Shareese last time, I think it's fair we do it for all our children. :)
  4.  We (finally) managed to open up a savings account for Shareese. Took us long enough. He's already two and a half years old and we have been keeping all his money we got from relatives and friends in a box on the top shelf. (.-.) Talk about security. haha...ha... So anyways, that's done!
  5. We did our usual grocery shopping
  6. And after a long time of planning and wanting to pay a visit here, we finally made it to GOURMESSA.
Entrance Gate to Gourmessa

So what is Gourmessa? In Malaysia, it's a brand name of the frozen food sold at the grocery store. They mostly sell processed meat like salami, pastrami, ham, breakfast strips, etc. One of the distributor of Gourmessa is POK Brothers. It's warehouse is located in Glenmarie, Shah Alam and my husband's supervisor said that they sell the items so much cheaper here at the warehouse compared to the retails. They not only sell the processed meat here but also other products like dairy, frozen meat, frozen seafood, imported veges, imported canned food and much more at very low price! We bought Beef Pastrami, Turkey Breakfast strips and Chicken ham for roughly RM6 or less each. It gets cheaper if you buy in bulk though. 1kg of beef pepperoni only costs RM30+ (the last time I checked). 1kg is A LOT. We also bought Salmon chunks for RM22 (they sell it for RM45 per kg) and a large dory fillet for RM2.80! (which they normally sell such a size for RM6.50)

Do check out the place if you have time. I'm sure you'll find the place saves a lot of money for you. :p

Oh by the way, their products sold here are all HALAL and certified by JAKIM.

p/s: Did I mention they sell whipping cream, Millac Gold Brand, 1L box for RM10++... :O SUPERCHEAP!
