+Wondermilk

Met up with lovely friends today who came all the way from Medan! After a filling meal in IKEA (meatballs, of course), we went ahead and had our share of dessert in Wondermilk Damansara Uptown.  I've already been in Wondermilk for a few times and really love the ambience as well as the atmosphere of the cafe. The cupcakes? they're fine although personally I don't find them terribly addictive in any way but yesterday's carrot cupcake that I had was rather nice. The milk, however, was to die for. It all made sense to me then why they named the cafe Wondermilk instead of Wondercake, it's obviously because their fresh flavored milk taste immensely good. So, so good.

There are many flavors of the milk available for you to try but I personally love the butterscotch and vanilla flavor. If you ever find yourself contemplating between caramel and butterscotch, that seemed to taste rather similar, please choose the latter.

May Reading Supplies

Books make me happy. Isn't it amazing how such an inanimate object can give you so much pleasure? It's a happiness that I can't seem to find within people. The reason why I love books this much is perhaps due to the unconditional company that it gives me. Being an inanimate object that it is, books keep me company even during the most perilous moments of loneliness. Unlike the gadgets that we seem to become overly attached to these days, spending my minutes and hours indulging in a good read doesn't feel like a total waste of time. It enriches me in so many ways even though the passages that I read are completely fictitious!

Lately, I've been having a crush on Asian literature, particularly Japanese. The poignancy and simplicity of a Japanese piece of writing somehow enchants me in a way beyond my own comprehension. Haruki Murakami, my favorite author so far, is one of the authors that possess such miraculous talent to drown me in his magical story telling ability.

Due to this newly bloomed love affair that I started with Japanese literature, I purchased three new additions to my collection, in hope that each page of these books will nurture the love I have for its kind.

Saturday Goodies!

Went on my routine Saturday 'adventure' with le bro to Pavilion (again). This time I've been craving for Pizza for the entire week and my tummy has been yearning for a good plate of churros for a while now.  Due to my lack of where-to-eat-a-good-pizza knowledge, we just decided to lunch in the most seemingly Italian restaurant we could find in Pavilion, which was Capriciossa that nestled nearby the food court area. To be honest, our visit was better than we expected. I ordered a half-half pizza, a combination of two different pizza toppings in a pan, barbecue chicken and smoked salmon. The latter was a tad bit disappointing due to the strong fishy smell but I was rather pleased by the delightful barbecue sauce of the former topping.

After the meal our tummy still grumbled and craved for something sweet. Of course it's time for us to have a good dessert and churros was the only thing that came in mind. I've read several reviews about the churros they're selling in one of the bars in Pavilion called La Boca and most reviews that I read were promising. So we went ahead and tried out the authentic spanish 'doughnut' that was served with chocolate ganache and dulce de leche or better known as caramel sauce. My expectation for a good churro has always been sky-high because the first churro that I tried in Disneyland (by far still the best) were so succulent. However, the churros they serve in La Boca was appetizing although it still couldn't match those that they sold in Disneyland! The dulce de leche was simply delicious and the churros were chewy. I wished the dough was a little bit thicker, though.
