Macaroon 101 Workshop

Poshies going to attend this fantastic Macaroon 101 workshop.... ho ho ho!! 

"From the explanation from Wikipedia : macaroon (/mækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-ROON }}) is a type of light, baked confection, described as either small cakes (they are not like cookies) depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds"[1] similar to Italian or Moroccan amaretti.
The English word macaroon and French macaron come from the Italian maccarone or maccherone. This word is itself derived fromammaccare, meaning crush or beat,[2] used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient.
Most recipes call for egg whites (usually whipped to stiff peaks), with ground or powdered nuts, generally almonds. Alternatively, coconuts can be used. Almost all call for sugar. Macaroons are sometimes baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray."

After the cupcake, Icing Biscuit... Macaroon is consider a Luxury dessert for me. Even a doughnut that cost me RM2++ is consider expensive now.... apa?? Macaroon, a French dessert that cost me RM4++ one pcs

Never tried before that is why i really need to attend this workshop to find out why it cost so expensive!

Buaya me if you want to eat my homemade Macaroon Soon!!!








Mad Hatter's Tea Party by Miu & Food Review @ The Smokehouse

I have to apologize to get so long for me to start writing this review, firstly I am not really a very good writer plus my English Grammar is really Poor... can say "Suck"

Anyhow, i hope you all understand what i try to delivery...

Is my pleasure to have invited by Miu for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party@ The Smokehouse (Bangsar)

This is a theme party of course we all need to dress up... we have Mad Hatter, Alice, Red  Queen and the Cat... are we cool!!!

Hai, I had dress up myself like Alice, tell you a secret... I am wearing my Mum's Maternity Dress of 30 years ago, i just add in a red belt to make it more fit to me, with half face RED Queen Face Painting & Half Face Alice, but the Alice (Stellar) who standing beside me is far more beautiful then me so much...

 Miu had already nicely deco the table before everyone arrive (She done a good job, and thanks for her mum too, the tea pot on the plate is made by her mum) ... we can't wait for the FOOD to be serve..... Yummy Yummy...

Smokehouse Set A - RM12 per person
This consists of Scone, Apple Pie with a pot of Tea or Coffee.


One big scone already fill up my stomach, so is very worth it for value. I love scone so much, this is the best one can be compare side by side with the one i ate in England tea house (UK)


So this is Smokehouse Set B - RM18.00 Per Person 
 Beside the scone, this apple pie is my 2nd like, is not because of this food review then i try to say is good, is really very very delicious, the Cinnamon and the sweetness is just so right and the most important is the apple must be fresh and still crunchy, and of course the outer layer of the pie... crispy and thick enough, the best combination.  


 This is the Rarebit (Beef Bacon, Cheese On Toast) - RM12
Is a simple snack that my husband always prepare for our breakfast, we like heavy rich cheese taste, the bacon is abit too dry for me.. overall is taste good.


Crème Brûlée - RM8
A rich custard dessert topped with a layer of hard caramel.
Not too sweet, and the caramel is equally baked, is something good that can recommend..
Bombe Alaska - RM28
An ice cream dessert with homemade shortbread base topped with mixed fruits and natta de cocoa covered with meringue. Flambéd with rum.
This is my first time trying out this dessert... for me personally enjoying at the 1st 3 spoons in my mouth , but more then that.. 
after food is time to vote who is the Best Winner.. guess what.... Hhaahha I am the winner... Yeah

 Here we all are the winner.... 
Thanks miu i love the prize...
trying up once i get home.. haha my finger thick like stick.. so the ring only can fit my last finger...
Overall is a nice experience and thanks for all the good food, nice chatting with new friend.... i start to miss u all already, when can we have another party like this?

we must go to this place again The Smokehouse

Precious Old China @ Central Market

I really cannot believe myself, even I am Malaysian who stay in KL & Selangor for more then 25 years but I never been to Central Market, KL.


When I stepping in, I feel like I am shopping at Bangkok. I found one very authentic restaurant in central market name Precious Old China. Wondering what food they serve?



Sitting in, make me feel really cozy and really can't wait to see what good food i can eat here. A charming and bubbly person in charge (Mr. Rayment Tee) had recommend me a few dishes that I must try. Precious Old China serves predominantly Nyonya (Straits Chinese) food.



Curry Fish Head, the taste is not spicy and if you are curry lover, you should love this as this is full of creamy coconut taste yet that is a flavour you never tell, finally i found out from Mr. Rayment, they added the secret ingredient "salty fish" in it too.

This is one of my favourite dish -  Kerabu Pucuk Paku. I cannot believe them this is much nicer then some traditional Malay cusine. Spicy + Sour just so nice to be starter.


I cannot stop compliment the food here, this their special friend chicken with lemon grass, you not eating the chicken in this dish, what i had told by Mr. Reyment, the lemon grass is eatable too. Crispy and the lemon essence is just so match with the chicken.


Chinese....of course RICE is still our Main stapple food, but i had order coconut blue rice instead white rice. This had made the whole satisfaction for my lunch with Precious Old China.


Refreshing Rosell juice (must try)


Local coffee, If you are coffee lover (must try)
