I found this at Bangsar Village recently…Korean Honey Citron Tea, or more commonly known as yuzu cha in Japanese.

It smells exactly like the Yuzu sorbet from Rakuzen that I absolutely love, and it has the same texture and stickiness as marmalade. To make the tea, all you need to do is to add hot water to 2-3 teaspoons of the thick gooey syrup and stir. The sticky parts (gosh, I really need to think of better culinary-type words! ) will dissolve, leaving behind the yuzu rind that you can eat when you finish the tea.

Tastewise: Sweet with a very slight bitter aftertaste that probably comes from the zest. It’s definitely a great pick-me-up when you have a sore throat thanks to the soothing honey.

If I’d discovered this when I was still in England, I would probably be drinking a hot cup of yuzu cha every day during those long cold winter nights…

FYI: I bought this at Village Grocer for about RM25.

…that I have above some food and movie reviews?

We met up with M, BY, LL & ES for dinner at Tony Romas @ The Curve on Sunday night. It was probably the only opportunity hubby had to go there to try the beef ribs as I’d resolutely refused to go…you know, I know why la. Oink.

Anyhoo, the company (as in the people, not the company company) was good (BY & LL just got back from Sipadan with lots of interesting stories), but the food was apparently not that great. The guys ordered the onion loaf which they said wasn’t really good. They commented that the beef ribs was pretty ok…huge portions and juicy. I’d ordered the South Miami fried shrimp which was lousy lousy lousy. The batter was so hard that it hurt my mouth just to bite through it, and the prawns were pretty tasteless. I took the opportunity to distribute it around the table…hehe… Instead of coleslaw, I’d asked for the butter rice…but it turns out that I should’ve taken my chances with the coleslaw coz the butter rice was sticky and looks like it came out from the bottom of the rice cooker. So unlike the fragrant butter rice we had at the Singapore outlet…

Well, doubt I’ll ever step foot back in there again. Give me Singapore’s Tony Romas anytime!

Luckily I’d already had two bowls of Funny Mountain tau foo fa earlier in the evening to fill my tummy!

Well, Saturday didn’t start out with any bad luck.

We had lunch at Babu, the Taiwanese restaurant @ Hartamas…that was pretty good.

I managed to get the latest copy of OK!, Klue AND Style at the magazine shop nearby…that was good too.

I ta pau-ed a tall cold cup of bubble tea to drink in the car…aha! That was when my luck turned. Pfft.

As we made our way back to Ipoh after lunch, we found that the traffic was becoming increasingly heavy past the Sungai Buloh overhead restaurant. Despite some roadworks going on, none of the lanes were closed, and it’s really a mystery why there were so many cars on the road! It’s not like the school holidays just started! At certain points, I definitely felt like it was CNY all over again…

The traffic jam coupled with the bubble tea that I kept on drinking meant that by midway, my bladder was screaming for a pit stop… Luck had it that two consecutive rest areas were closed for refurbishment…no joke, k? I spent the second half of the journey NOT drinking any water at all…

Hubby had to meet some guy to sign some stuff so I spent the evening at his sis’s place reading magazines. He came back around 5pm+ with the news that most of our friends weren’t around…one couple was in Penang, another in KL. So no big makan (and gambling) session that night…

We had dinner at Yam Yam Seafood Restaurant @ Ipoh Garden…err…east? South?…with KK & wife. We were first introduced to this place by KK, and I really like the food there. It’s tasty, not to mention cheap! Our order of kung po mantis prawns, steamed fish with chilli and black bean sauce, fried kailan, butter chicken and kam heong lala only set us back RM15 per person!

Dinner was followed by dessert at Ice Ice Baby. This time, I tried their Hasma Sago Papaya…pretty nice. Unfortunately, I suddenly got gastric pains while we were there, so we had to cut the night short.

Back home, gastric pains turned into a bad stomach ache… Needless to say, I didn’t enjoy this trip very much at all…

I met up with my ex-house/flatmate and girl friend, K, and her boyfriend for lunch on Friday. Since she’d just gotten back from UK, we decided some Chinese food was in order. We ended up at Oriental Cravings @ 1U where we ordered enough food to feed a family…fried meehoon, fried rice, two types of vege, chee cheong fan and oatmeal prawns.

After not seeing each other for almost…err…3 years, it was really good to catch up! Lunch was followed by an ice kacang @ Mark’s Assam Laksa, after which, we drove from 1U all the way to Midvalley to check out some stuff at La Mer. Considering that it was the school holidays, plus part of the car park was closed for refurbishment, we were really lucky to get a parking spot, albeit a very very VERY far one.

A hungry M popped by after work in the evening. We were supposed to meet hubby at Il Divo @ 8.30pm, and since we had more than an hour to spare, we ended up vegging in front of the tv munching chocolates while watching E! Entertainment.

Dinner at Il Divo was, as usual, great! There were some slight changes in the menu, most notably, my favourite Pan Fried Jumbo prawns now comes with angel hair aglio olio! We ordered the fresh clams and beef carpaccio for starters, M ordered the seafood spaghetti for her mains and I pre-ordered the lamb shank for hubby who conveniently came over to join us just as the food arrived… I also found out (serves me right for not reading the menu thoroughly) that there’s a pasta version of the fresh clams starter dish…am definitely trying that the next time we go! As for dessert, M had a scoop of cafe latte ice-cream while Vincenzo kindly let me sample a new, not-on-the-menu-yet, dessert…semi-freddo! It was gooooood…

Full from dinner, we spent the rest of the night back at the apartment channel surfing before calling it a night sometime around midnight.
