A trip to Cupcakes Wonderland--- WonderMilk

Good evening, peeps~! Once again, it's me on Ivy @ Feelings FM... I'm your DJ (duh~!) and my name is Ivy~~~~
OK, I don't know when this blog became a food review thing since it doesn't fit my blog name... In fact, I should be talking about feelings instead of FOOD~~
But since everyone likes food right? and I love them too... So I decided along the way I'll share my feelings and expedition I'm going through in KL and of course here and there I'm gonna introduce you guys to some FOOD in KL which I've been to. Although they might not be the best but there would be someone out there who would love it, right?

Let's start. On Saturday, I was sitting in the library studying(Exam is soooo near~!!!) with a few others and suddenly this guy, Ka Vui on the right said this, "I'm craving for Rainbow Cupcakes..."

My head shot up when I heard cupcakes... OK, I'm a big fans for sweet stuffs especially cakes~!! So I was like, "What is rainbow cupcake?"

He thought for a while before answering but basically he said, "The cake is in rainbow colour and tasted like Mat Kool rainbow flavor ice-cream."

I'm like... WOAH~! "Colourings?"

"I asked the guy there, they say its not colouring."

"Awesome. I feel like getting a bite on it... Tomorrow is a Sunday, why not we go then?"

So on Sunday, we met up in the library at 10.00... I was late though... XD

Anyway, we met up at the library and Jewen was there so after cracking our heads on how to get to that place, Jewen volunteered to drive. So we departed, 4 of us... We reached the place called WonderMilk and I think it's quite a famous place because it was quite full even at 11am...

So here we are:
WonderMilk... I was overwhelmed with how they set up their shop as the furnitures they used are very unique. Even from the outside, there are tables and chairs which are made of crates... I was stupified when I stepped into the store itself.

The furnitures are very special and it brings out a very warm feeling. This is not acutally a pure cupcake shop but rather I would term it as a cafe. And it is one which I always wanted in my life. I dreamed of owning such a cafe. With the warm lightings and the nice smell of cupcakes and coffee with the mixture of milk. People having their meals happily, smiling and chatting away... Well, we checked on the price board and decided to get the 12 box set and everyone would have 4 since Shin Li didn't want it. So we picked and picked and picked...

When we first saw the cupcake, we were like... So small a?! Well, we're shocked because when Ka Vui describe to us and did the hand gesture it was quite big... And Ee Teng thought it was slices of cakes and I thought it would be something like a muffin... Anyway, we just got the cupcakes and settled down while I looked around the shop and took photos of the environment here.

These are the cupcake we chose...
First row from left: Oreo, Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow
Second Row: Blueberry, Cheesy Cheese, Choc Mint, Oreo
Third Row: Choc Mint, Oreo, (Not sure), rainbow

Well, the cupcakes are OK... It would be fine for sweet lovers but trust me, they are very sweet...
In fact, Ka Vui and Jewen ordered coffee and milk... I heard the milk is really good. I'll give it a try the next time round.
So basically the cupcakes cost RM4.50 each and for a box of 12, it costs RM50.
They sell in one then a set of four, eight, twelve and sixteen I guess...

 OK, so this picture above includes four photos. The first one is some weird animal body thing... The second one is a clock, with WM on it, not sure it meant West Malaysia or World Map... But the pictures on the other side of the board are some drinks in their shop.

The third picture is some cabinets where they put some greens... And the last one is basically the decorations beside the cabinet... See the BAKE word and also the world map...

This photo on the left is some other pictures I took regarding the furnitures. The upper left one is a small corner underneath the cabinet. I wanted to take that place when I saw it... I really love the small wooden table and small chairs. It makes the small corner there looks very cosy... The upper right is another set of table outside the shop. The chair are crates basically.

The lower left one is what I think most unique of all in the whole shop. Can you guys see the picture? Guess what it is make from? The tops of the table and chairs are of course make of planks and woods but the rack itself is made of unused pipes. Creative I would say... And the last pic on the bottom right is a small shelf beside the cashier selling postcards. The design of the postcards are nice and worth RM1 each.

This picture above was 2 pictures I really love... The wall and WM below the clock... Nothing special but I love them for no reason.

 On your left is the menu and numbering they used in the shop. Everything is handwritten and the message on the numbering is interesting. They included their Wifi password there itself and trust me, the password is as cute as the shop.

So basically I did not have breakfast that day and my tummy started growling. After checking the menu, I decided to try out one of the sandwiches---- Mushroom Melt.

I never expected anything much since it's mushrooms and it's normal. I paid and waited and soon the sandwich was served...

And yeap, this bread on my right is the sandwich I ordered. There are mushrooms fillings (DUH~) and of course the secret recipe out of everything... THe all time favorite----- CHEESE~!!!

I took a bite and WOAH~! Never expected to taste THAT awesome and I meant it. It's even better than the cupcakes. If there is a rating, I would give 5/5 for this sandwich over here. Best taste for sandwich ever tasted.

Those who like mushroom, this is a must try. Trust me, you would not regret. Well, but for a sandwich this is a bit expensive... It costs RM10.90 for this. The sandwich will come with some raw veges and also potato salad. So it's quite filling for lunch or breakfast or even for brunch.

So these are the people I went to WonderMilk with... My course mates and ex-course mate

From left: Shin Li (so proud to have a Bruneian friend who is a NERD~ XD); Jewen (The guy who brought me to pasar malam and give me a lift back every night); and the suggestor, Ka Vui...

So this pretty girl who is holding the cup cake is Ee Teng. (Pretty right?) and the crazy girl sitting sideway would be the one and only ME, your DJ tonight and many more nights--- Ivy~

So, before we depart from the shop... We took a photo of everyone with my Samsung Galaxy S3 2.0 megapixels front camera... So from left: Shin Li, Jewen, Ka Vui, Ee Teng and finally, me~!

Have a nice trip there for those who are interested. They have 3 outlets actually... The one went to is +WonderMilk Damansara Uptown. Yes, we went all the way to Damansara from Brickfields for cupcakes.
There are two more outlets situated at Citta Mall and Publika Shopping Gallery...

For more info, feel free to check out their webpage:

Well, that's all for today... And Good Night peeps~!

Jom, let's go on a Food Hunt~!

Hello everybody. A very good evening to all of you once again. Thank you for tuning into Feelings FM and I'm your Blogspot DJ this evening... I bet you guys know me already, I'm Ivy.

The general rule is that in every blog post I'll prepare a Song of the Day for you guys and tonight there's no exception. The Song of the Day, let me see... Oh, It's "Losing Your Memory" by Ryan Star. Just in case you do not know, it's actually the Soundtrack from Vampire Diaries.




Before we go into the main issue, which I know everyone loves it-------FOOD~~~~ Hold your horses because there is someone whom I want to introduce you guys to. He is the main character today so you can't miss it.

OK, see this guy over here? Hello, look here~~~ Ah, yes... Now I got your attention. He's is the guy I was talking about. The reason why I say he's the main character today is because without him, I won't be able to go for the Food Hunt. Oh, this guy over here... He's my course mate, a new pal named Jewen. Nice guy, quiet and always sitting alone near the wall...

So basically, everything starts like this. This morning is a usual morning... waking up, shower, brush my teeth... Go to class. So at 1 o clock after class is over we went over to the library to study. Of course, having lunch first then to the library.

Time flies and when we noticed it, it was already 6pm... So instead of finding food near my college which apparently no significance of good food, he suggested that we just head over to my area since it's Thursday and there is a night market there.

The initial plan was to stay up till 10pm in the library(it was a deal) but besides mental strain, we're wondering where to find food... So we packed at 7.30 and set off to the night market nearby my area--- Sri Rampai Night Market.

OK, for those who are overseas who doesn't understand my title... Jom is the malay word for "let's go" and in Malaysia, we term night markets as "Pasar Malam". Well, everyone knows the fact that if you want food... Best place to get? You just gonna get them from pasar malam.

So off we go and we had a really hard time finding a parking space. The parking lot was quite dark and quiet at night although it's just beside the pasar malam but anyway, we got a place and he looked at his car and looked at me... Finally he blurted, "I hope my doors will still be here when we come back." And I gave him a "I understand" look and answered, "I was hoping to see the wheels are still here."

He laughed and both of us head for the night market. Not sure about the night markets in overseas but for Malaysia, definitely it would be along a street and outdoor... Those who are bagpacking in Malaysia, you wouldn't want to miss a chance of visiting the pasar malam here. Anyway, back to the point... We walked and all I can see are FOOD~!! I know, I attracted your attention... Chill~~

OK, first I had two sticks of fishball... One curry flavor and one more Tom Yam Flavor. How does it taste? Spicy... Jewen got himself a curry flavor fish ball and a squid... Did not take photo for this one because I finished it in 2 minutes before I remembered that I need to take a photo of it... The price: RM1 for each fishball stick and RM2 for the squid stick. Anyway, the ratings:
Taste              : ★★★☆☆
Appearance   : ★★★☆☆
Creativity       : ★★★☆☆
Overall           : ★★★☆☆

Then, we moved to the next stall where I saw my favorite food--- Sweet potato! This is cute because they make it into balls and fry them... So I call them Sweet Potato Balls~~~ This is not a highlight, it's OK. Taste normal... Suitable for kids though because it's sweet... ^^ The price: RM 4 per packet with approx 10-15 balls.
Taste             : ★★☆☆☆
Appearance   : ★★★☆☆
Creativity      : ★★★☆☆
Overall         : ★★☆☆☆ (2.5/5)

Next~! Let's see... OK, this~!!! Chang Chang~!!

I KNow this looks weird but it taste awesome~!! It's call Osaka Teppanyaki... Give it a try if you see it anywhere. There's cucumber and egg and some vege. The taste of mayonnaise completed the taste of the whole thing.  It's something like a pancake and trust me, it's awesome~ I would get another one the next time I visit this pasar malam. By the way, there's 2 flavors: Chicken and Seafood. RM 5,90 for chicken and RM6,90 for Seafood. 

Taste            : ★★★★☆ 

Appearance  : ★★★☆☆

Creativity      : ★★★★☆

Overall         : ★★★★☆

Next, what more? OK, let's get a drink first... I'm thirsty from doing all the talking... 

This is recommended by Jewen. He brought me to this stall and tell me that this is a must try? So I listened since he's the expert... Well, I did not regret that. It's cooling and really, this is just nice for a hot day. THere are six ingredients in the drink I guess because the name is something like Six Gold Cooling Tea or something? So yeah~ Each of us got a packet and according to him, if we have it there...We would get a quill egg inside the drink... Well, it's over but I'm still trying to figure out what's the ingredients:

1. Barley

2. Longan Meat

3. Bak Hup

4. Lin Zi

5. Bak Go

I'm not sure how far I'm true but I guess these are in... Anyway, it's RM 3.30 per packet. You have the choice of having cold or hot. 

Rating:

Taste            : ★★★★★

Appearance  : ★★★★☆

Creativity      : ★★★☆☆

Overall         : ★★★★☆

Next, we took continue the walk again. Let's see, what's next... Oh, this... I got attracted to this when I was walking along the stalls. It's something cute and special. They call it Cheese Potato.Well, I ordered the Hawaii Flavor and Jewen also got the Black Pepper chicken flavor... Each cost RM5. Mine basically contains of Broccoli, pineapple, ham and corns. For Cheese lovers, you must taste this... The cheese will be spread all over the fried potato and the other ingredients in it... All I can say is that it is heaven for Cheese Lovers. Here it is:

Ratings as below:

Taste           : ★★★★★

Appearance : ★★★★★

Creativity     : ★★★★★

Overall        : ★★★★★

Last food of the day, which is sort of normal and can be seen almost everywhere. This we call it Chicken Nuggets or Popcorn Chicken. This cost RM6. Well, nothing much to explain bout this because it's just normal fried chicken with chili pepper powder on it... Ratings first then the pic. 

Taste           : ★★☆☆☆ 

Appearance : ★★☆☆☆

Creativity     : ★★☆☆☆

Overall        : ★★☆☆☆

That ends the Food HUnt today. It was fun after the stress of studying 6 hours in the library. And Jewen who doesn't speak Mandarin tried his level best to communicate with the seller there... Good job, Jewen. And Thank you for the bringing me there. 

PS: Can't really tell where the place is, but it is just one street beside the Jabatan Imigresen where you guys make passport and ICs.

Ready, Set, GO~!

A very pleasant night to those who are reading or wanting to read my blog. As usual, I'm your Feelings FM DJ, Ivy. Tonight's song would be Stay by Rihanna:


It had not been quite my time recently. I have been wandering around the maze of life trying to get hold of something which I do not know what it is actually.








I took this picture last week when I was on my way back into my condo in KL

When I saw this light shining through the gaps between the pillars, I stood there and look at the sunlight. It was very dazzling but at that very moment, it was like something to me. Something which I've always been searching for.

Since I came to KL, things have not been getting on smoothly. First I was ditched by my only friend in KL for I don't know whatever reason; Then I end up being antisocial in class, staying up all alone. Next I slacked in my studies... So it goes on and on...

In fact, things had been really depressing lately when exams are coming in 57 days and my room mate can never stop annoying me.

Well, I should say from this I learnt some real and true friends. I had a talk with my mom and she gave me another option but I hesitated. It's not that I like KL, in fact I never liked KL... But my friends here, the lecturers here... Those are the reason which makes my want to stay.

I remember one of my friend saying, "Ivy, don't go la!"
I remember one of my course mate saying, "You wanna transfer a? Why?"
I remember one of my bro saying: "You sure ah?"
I remember one of them saying: "As long as the problem is solved, you don't have to move right?"

A few of them volunteered to look out for rooms for me. I even met someone who told me today, "If it's really annoying, you can come over my place to study. My room mate is off till end of this month for study break so no problem. Just give me a text any time."
To say the truth, I'm touched and happy and glad and contented that I meet them.

I was such an antisocial person until I came into this class and I started having more and more friends. Some are Hi Bye friends, some I never talk to, some are study mates but nevertheless every one of them treat me well. I never regretted meeting them. I never regretted open up my heart and feelings to them.

I'm really sorry for the stress I've been through. Breaking down is so NOT ME, but I did last week in class itself. Some of them saw it but they gave me some support and ya, it was really helpful.

Today's status on FB：
I thank all my friends and course mates (this is targeted to them but here I add on, my parents and family) who are concerned about what I'm going through. Thank you for giving me advice and finding an alternative way for me to study under these undesirable circumstances. And I thank HER sincerely for inviting me over to study when it's convenient. Thank you so much. I'll try my best for the exam. Let's fight.

I learnt something... I learnt that there are people who hates me and there are people who loves me for who I am. I do not have to waste time on those who hates me... All I need to do is to appreciate those who loves me, those who supported me, those who accept me for who I am and what I do. Even one day things might change, there is still a 'once upon a time' leaving in my memories within...

Now it's time to get ready for a total boost and rush for examinations. 57 days to go and counting. Let's get ready. Let's pass our exams and meet again next year. Let's finish the whole course and graduate together!

ON YOUR MARK, READY, SET.... GO!!!

PAINTBALL ON THE GO~!!

A very good evening to all of you who are reading my blog...

I'm your DJ for this evening, Ivy.

So, tonight's theme would be the very first step to my 'Let My Arenaline Rush' Plan.

OK, things start this way... 

2 weeks ago, I sort of went into a total stress and depression mode due to the upcoming exams which is in say... 65 days? *OMG, that is so close~ I'm gonna fail man...

BUt anyway, since it's nothing to do with those who are not sitting for the exam, there is no point stressing you guys out... So, me and my classmate were having this conversation in class one fine afternoon before class starts:

Me: "I feel like going for Bungee Jumping." 

Duncan: "Why do you wanna go BUngee Jumping?"

Me: "Too stress, just to release my stress. Wanna come? RM75 in SUnway Lagoon."

Duncan: "WHat?! You are using RM75 to buy gravity? One jump, 2 seconds, RM75?"

Me: "Ya?"

Duncan: "WHy not I buy you a rope and tie your leg and let you jump off from one of the condo in KL? It's free."

Me: "That's not the point."

Duncan: "Cummon! Do something else."

Me: "I really love all this games... I wanna go for BUngee Jumping, Go Carting, Abselin, Flying Fox, Paintball, Lazer Skirmish..."

Duncan: "You seriously wanna go for paintball?"

Another classmate who is sitting behind of us, Mark responded: "I heard paintball. Are we going for paintball?"

Duncan: "We can organize if you guys want."

And so.... This event starts...

So we basically gathered information about paintball fields and the charges... And Duncan set up an event group on Facebook recruiting members of our coursemates to join. Things goes well excepts with some glitch (Well, expected right?) but it turn out quite well and we'll officially starts our story here!

At first we  plan to meet at BAC (Brickfields Asia College, i.e: the college we're studying) and Duncan will pick me and another 2 people from there. I was late but anyway I reached and he called and said, "Hey, Ivy... THere's a block there. The police don't allow me to cross, can you come to BAC2?" 

So me, Prab and Jie Jiun walked to BAC2 and hop on... Anyway, we weren't really late when we reached the place... Walah, It's TAG Paintball at Taman Desa. THe exact location cannot be found on Google Map, so my advice, type this on your GPS if you were to go: Taman Desa Waterpark. It's the same way but it's a very old 4 stories parking beside the waterpark.

So basically when we reached there we started waiting up till 3.15 when we started briefing. They explained Capture the Flag MOde, Team Death and also Terminator(play till the pellets finish)

But in the end we only played the Team Death and Terminator

During the game, adrenaline rush to the very peak. THis is even so when you saw your opponent running around and you hear shooting all around. THe pain when you got shot is intense but it does not last for long. It might bruises you but at the very moment, you feel alive. After all the stress and hectic life in the city, this is one way that will really relaxes your mind. 

NO thought will go through the mind except to survive the game and to shoot down your opponent. 

At the very end, we still have some bullets left so we went on a 1 vs 1 game. This game pushes the thrill to the max. The first round was Duncan vs Prab... The second round was me vs Jian. 

THe sweat after the game really refreshes the mind, and the moment when I got shot at the neck but Keith really makes my blood burnt further. I want to feel the pain, I want to shoot and finish off the game... That is what I tell myself.

I did not get much bruises, only a couple of them... Here, one on my thigh (by I don't know who) and one on my shoulder (by Hui Fang):

After the game, we went for dinner at Seng Kee Restaurant. We had amazing conversations there. IN a way, this game really brought everyone who are usually antisocial to work together and to talk about things that we never talk in class.

From left: Me, Hui Fang, Aeshprit, Prab, Kavitha, Kristen, JJ, Mark, Nelia, Yau Lem, Jian, Keith.

Missing：Siah Fong

Anyway, if there's a chance... I would love to go for a second round. 

Our players. 

Second Row from left: Mark, Nelia, Prab, Jian, Keith (the extremely aggressive one), Aeshprit.

First Row from left: Siah Fong, Yau Lem, Me, Duncan, Kristen, JJ, Kavitha

Missing: Hui Fang.

Here are some info if you guys wanna feel the thrill and join the game. 

TAG Paintball website: http://www.paintball-tag.com/paintball-tag/paintball-tag/main/default.asp
TAG FB Group :https://www.facebook.com/groups/147069708416/

Needies:

1. Bottle of water. (You can still buy drinks after the game, we bought 100 Plus RM2.50 per can)

2. Tissue or handkerchief. (Trust me, you will sweat a lot)

3. Clean shirt (For changing after the game)

4. Clean pants (For changing after the game)

5. Towel and toiletries (If you plan to bath after the game)

The thing about TAG paintball is, the people there are pretty good... Friendly Marshalls there, and the toilets are very big and clean. You would feel comfortable with the equipments provided too as they are clean and you do not feel disgusted. 

They will provide you with the mask and the marker, i.e: the gun. Others will be on your own cost.

There are 14 of us, we paid approximately RM100 for the playfield, the equipments and 2 boxes of pellets. If you want to rent the vest, it cost RM10 extra. But it would be advisable for first time players as it is quite painful.

So that's all for today. Feel free to drop any question about this and I'll try to help.
