Kechara Oasis 如意轩 @ Viva Home

Recently quite busy with my study and work, almost 1 month did not update my food hunting stories. Well, better take a short break, spending some times refreshing my memory on the nice food I had in these 2 months. 
最近有点忙,很久都没和大家分享我在这两个月内享用过的美食了。脑袋被一堆的方程式搞糊涂了,还是暂时抽离一下,写些提神的东西。

We went to Viva Home, a shopping complex with special theme, I'm sure you know what theme is that based on its name. Yes, lots of home- related stuffs can be found here. We actually planned to go there before moved to new house. But, until now only we have the chance to visit there. Well, we spotted a nice set of living room furniture, including sofa, coffee table & console table. Did we buy it? NO! Why? Because.......we cannot afford to have it right now. See? I try to comfort myself, not now, maybe in the future, only God knows when is the right timing. Haha!! 
上个月尾,我们去了Viva Home,一间拥有各式居家物品专卖店的大商场。我们很喜欢其中一套家私,是那种线条简单却很有禅味的沙发+咖啡桌+电视架+摆设小桌子。一看标价,我的妈呀!只是咖啡桌就要差不多两千块钱。我们就赖在那舒服的沙发不舍得起身。

Since our dream do not come true, then must have some compensation (a poor excuse, I think.). We're attracted by this restaurant. It is a vegetarian restaurant, I think can be considered fusion as they offer Tibetan's, Thai's, Vietnamese's, Malaysian's vegetarian cuisine, as stated in their menu.
既然物质享受买不起,就满足口腹之欲吧!一看招牌,就知道是一间充满法喜的素食馆。他们提供了多国的特色素食。

A pot of hot tea always is a good choice when you can't decide what to drink with.
一壶热茶,为洗去油腻而准备。热毛巾温暖了被冷气吹冻的双手,同时也唤醒了沉睡的细胞。

Top: Appetizer from the house - preserved papaya. 
店家为我们送上了他们自家腌制的木瓜酸,清脆爽口,真是一道好开胃菜。

Bottom: Deep fried round momos. 
藏式炸圆饺
A unique Tibetan dumplings with potatoes, vegetables, herbs and cheese served with chili oil. (as stated in the menu) 
以马铃薯,蔬菜,香料及奶酪为馅,佐以辣油。

I never been to Tibet, so I can't tell you how authentic this dish is, but I can tell you, the chili oil is really spicy! It is a perfect match with the cheesy deep fried momos!
香辣的辣油,足以抵消奶酪的油腻感,却让我的舌头被辣得麻麻的。

Top: Butter Mushroom
奶油茗片
Deep fried oyster mushroom served with special butter sauce (as stated in the menu)
奶油酥炸鲍鱼菇

Bottom: Vietnamese Eel
越南鳗鱼
Stir fried mushroom in plum sauce, red chili, mango & basil. (as stated in the menu)
素鳝炒梅子酱,红辣椒,芒果及罗勒

I think they also put some passion fruit on top of it. Can you see the black seeds with some juicy orange stuff? It tastes like passion fruit, sweet & sour. Thumbs up!
我觉得除了餐单上所写的食才,他们还放了些许百香果肉。虽然是炸香菇,但因为多了芒果及白香果,酸酸甜甜的,一点也不觉得油腻。

演唱会

最近这几个月,有很多场的演唱会,比如:让人为之疯狂的王菲,刚刚圆满结束的张学友1/2世纪巡唱大马站,八月份的陈奕迅,即将来临的许志安,等等。。。

我原本很想去张学友的那场演唱会,可是,就因为犹豫不决,结果,门票两下子就售罄。在加场,却因为工作的关系,没法实现了。

因此,当我一在电台听到动力火车明年将来马举行演唱会,就赶快上网搜索详情。一开始开放网上及电话订购,加上有10%折扣,当机立断,买下了2张门票。前天,特地去主办单位的办公室领取门票。

十年前,我们就曾说过,要一起去看动力火车的演唱会。十年后的今天,诺言即将兑现!
期待2012年2月25日。。。

Strawberry Moment @ De Garden, Ipoh

Last night, we went to the De Garden located at Ipoh, opposite the Jusco shopping centre.  There are a few food & beverage outlets in the building, such as Wong Kok Restaurant, Burger King, Ayam Penyet, Daorae Korean BBQ, Papparich and etc.

After wandering around the building for minutes, we finally decided to try this.
