Just Food - the $65 Family Platter


No . This did not come from Mr Shawarma , which is located at the entrance of the foodcourt in Gurney Paragon Mall ....
we got this delicious , still smoking Family Platter from one of the last stalls right at the back of the foodcourt .
If I'm not mistaken , they listed themselves as Mediterranean . Doesn't matter . You can find them opposite the Ayam Penyet stall .

There's a whole leg , 2 chicken kebabs , 2 lamb kebabs in different flavours and another portion of chicken with bone on , which happens to be the wing and breast meat , so that makes it half a bird already .

What's so remarkable about this set ?
Other than the taste and freshness , which I absolutely love ( different marinades for different meats and yet they're all tasty and delish ) ? ....



This !
Take a look at the way the platter is served . 
Omg , why didn't we ever order this earlier ? 

Rejuvenation at The Six



 After two consecutive weekends of gruelling events I willingly signed up for , my body finally threw the towel in on me . I went down 5 kilos within 3 days and boy was I worried . No I wasn't looking forward to such quick weight loss . I looked at my fingers and an almost skeletal frame was staring back at shocked me !

 Such sudden weight loss is a HUGE no no .
Time for nourishment . Time to put back some fat .
No chu char stall for the moment . I want something more pleasant to the eyes please . Thus we headed straight into The Six Cantonese Restaurant for dinner . 

Nursed this portion of Double Boiled superior ham soup with fish maw , mushrooms , and baby bok choy , like my life depended on it . Was good , not mind blowing great , but I'm here to reap the benefits .
Sticker by the side of the plate , shows the name of the Chef who made it .
Master Wilson it states there .

Kampung Jawi - duck rice village


On this little main street inside Kampung Jawi , at any one time there are at least 4 duck rice stalls open for lunch . Now this is highly unusual because in a lot of other small towns , the most that you will find is 2 competitors fighting for a share of the pie .

Over the years , I've stubbornly stuck to this shop , this particular stall operated by a lady not that she's the best in town or anything , it's just that I personally prefer to eat out in a larger open space by the front of her stall . Her place is also not as crowded , but I'll say it's definitely much more cleaner so there's another tick in the box as to why I choose her over the rest .

Marvellous Sunday morning big breakfast just outside the Botanical Gardens


Breakfast sets sold by Chinese operated western stalls in the whole of Malaysia are sooooo predictable .
Boring even .
Thus when he suggested this place located just outside the Botanical Gardens ( next to a bee/ honey product gallery ) , I groaned , you know , cos I can actually cook up a better , more sumptuous big breakfast set than any of these hawkers and Chinese western restaurants and shops .

The instant we sat down and I opened  up the menu ...gasppppp !!!!
What is this ?
How come we didn't come here and eat sooner ?

For less than MYR 11 you get this hotel standard set .
Bacon ,  ham , breakfast sausage , mashed potatoes , one egg , salad , mushrooms , and a slice of bread cut in two !
Isn't it beautiful ? Soooo pleasing to the eye and if you post this up on the social media , this is a meal which looks like you paid 20 to 30 ringgit for !

Racerback - sized up on purpose


Attending yet another fitness event tomorrow . So I really need this because the organiser has listed it as a sweat fest , thus we'll need a second change of clothes . It'll dry pretty quick , so that's important .
He was one of the first 7 instructors I trained under and he's not only a most capable event organiser , he's a natural born leader who happens to be very enthusiastic , perky , full of energy and is extremely passionate about his chosen field , so I will always throw my support behind him and whatever he does .
