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             : ★★☆☆☆

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.

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.

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:

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.

My Burger Lab

OK, it had been 3 months I found out about this shop besides Burger Kaw Kaw(located at Wangsa Maju, I heard there's another branch at PJ). Well, I'm always craving for something and this is seriously what I wanted to try... I had been asking my course mates about it's whereabout but all their responses are
i) Don't know la, where is the place?
ii) I usually drive there de wor...
And so, I went on to Google and checked the place. To dismay, no information of the nearest LRT station was there. The thing about me is I'm not from KL so I don't drive...

Finally, after 2 months of eavesdropping... I heard this one day,
"Eh, wanna go Burger Lab ah?"
"Want want want. HOw to go ah?"
"I heard there is a LRT station nearby there."
"Stop where ah?"
"Taman Paramount I heard."
Hmm... Taman Paramount... COol! now I know the place. All I need to know is how to get to the shop from Taman Paramount LRT station. So, in conjuction with my brother's off day I decided to bring him for dinner at Burger Lab since he's a total aficionado of burgers (WEll, I suspect he has a dream of trying every single burger on earth)

So at 3.30pm today, I texted a course mate... So in count of 3, I'm gonna reveal his name... 3! 2! 1! With a round of applause, let's welcome Dnesh Ong~! Well, this is the message he sent me just now:

  I'm like Okay... With this I should be able to find the place... I hope. So after class, I met up my brother at MCD KL Sentral and we started discussing...

"Eh, have you went there before?" my bro
I answered in a very sorry manner..."Er... Actually... No..."
"Ha? Will we get lost then? I need to catch the bus at 7.30 and it's already 5.30,"
"Well, no harm giving a try..."
"We better find the place, I'm starving."
Well, we took the LRT(just in case anyone do not know, it's KJ line, formerly know as Putra line) until the station of Taman Paramount.

"OK, let's go." I said enthusiastically.
"Er, bus... 7.30 need to be at KL Sentral." my bro reminded.
"Alright."
So I opened this message and started following the direction.
We walked up the stairs and undecidable whether to turn left or right and trust me, it is a dead end if you walk straight as written in the message. So I looked around and followed by instinct(I was know to have very good sense of direction). At the corner of the road, I spotted a traffic light signboard so I took the left turn and lucky me, I found the traffic light!

That is a very straight uphill road with loads of cars moving. So a friendly advise, be careful when walking along the road as traffic are quite congested in that area. So basically we can see the end of the road there and I was reading the message where my brother shouted, "Holy, there really is a KFC there!"

I'm like, OK... We're on the right track so we moved on... We followed the message direction and found the place... It was quite a distance from the LRT station... Say about... 15 mins walk...

Here's the map:

OK, this map sucks but it's not really that hard to find... Trust me... Don't worry and just walk...
So we ended lining up in the restaurant and started looking at the notice board full of pictures and money of other currencies... Well, of course the menu... They came up with fantastic names which will attract the customers' attention (Undeniably)... E.g: Water Balloon (Watermelon and Lychee fillings, I wonder what is the taste), The Hulk, Swisstake etc...

Since both me and my brother are beef "craver"(aka beef lovers), we went for the beef meal... I ordered a Hangover Burger which I saw received quite some compliments at the notice board... Here it is:

OK, here are the ingredients:
1. Beef Patty
2. Hashbrown
3. Lettuce
4, SHitake Mushroom
5. Enoki Mushroom
6. Maple syrup
PS: Mushrooms that came with the sauce is awesome...

It looks weird but it taste awesome... Hangover Burger, my first trip to My BUrger Lab... I would give a 4/5 and I would definitely love to have one more but it's too filling. Seriously TOO filling.

So basically my brother saw another thing which attracted him... The cool name and cool ingredients. Well, he always go for something which has cooler name and more sophisticating ingredients. So basically he chose this: Beautiful Mess ver 4.0

The ingredients?
1. Beef Patty
2. Sunny side-up (aka egg)
3. Portabella mushroom
and I can recall no more... Sorry if I missed out any ingredients.

Anyway, he chose this... And he was quite contented with the taste... And it is too VERY fiiling... *Burp

NOw, to the bill... Me and my brother with a side fries for me and a side fries +drink for my brother... Total is RM44.00
Well, some would say expensive... I would say it's quite worthy... Highly reccomended to try on their fries... With(it's a must) some of the sauce they provided... Trust me, it's one of the best... Especially the sauce... No joke.

Well, that;s all... He went back to work after that and I was left here typing this blog just to share with anyone who is interested in getting there and have a bite of this... Oh, by the way just in case you are curious why the bun is black in colour, it's charcoal bread...
The worker there are friendly, very friendly and very helpful... With a high speed wifi and a nice environment... Totally a suitable place for gathering and meet up... I would love to re-visit this shop some day.

Overall rating: 4/5 ☆★★★★

6 Happiest Things to Do...

Have you ever thought of what is the happiest things to do?
I had...
Well... Mine is sorta lame actually...
But these are what I like...

6 HAPPIESt THINGS to Do

1. Live to Eat
I bet everyone was being asked this question before...

DO YOU LIVE TO EAT or EAT TO LIVE?

The two of them are whole lot of different...
See, some people on Earth eat to live while some of them live to eat...
But I'm so PROUD to say...
Hey, I LIVE to EAT...
In fact, its the best thing to do on Earth...

Hamburgers, French Fries, Bread, Rice, Spaghetti, Ice
creams, chocolates...

It is a total waste if we can't live to Eat...

YUMMY~!!

2. Live to Sleep.
Sleep, everyone sleep...

But...

Do you actually enjoy your sleep?

Well, I do...
A tight and warm sleep make everything different you see...
You feel better and fresher the next day...

I don't get it, why would someone study the whole night and don't sleep...
That's tiring...and... making oneself miserable...

OK, OK... I know everyone thinks differently...
But is it effective this way?
Come on, get a nice sleep... Live to sleep is the BEST~!


3. Live to play
This one is totally true...
What is the meaning of life if ou don't have fun?

try thinking...

One day, you are so bored...
The internet is down
The TV is broken
The books are thorn into pieces
The ball is flat
our friends are not around you

Can you see?
It will be very very VERrrry miserable...

So, just have fun when you still can...




4. Live to enjoy
Okay...
Now this one you need a trick...
The trick is $$ MONEY $$~~~!!!!

WHich most of us never thinks that is enough...

The problem here is,...
Why would you need soooooo much money if you don't know how to enjoy it?

Not to say those who don't have much money...
I mean, I met some of them who are extremely rich... but they rather keep the money at home...

Well, maybe to them, that's happiness...

Who knows, right?


5. Live to explore

Well, this one...
I bet there is only 10% who live to explore...
Explore new things is really fun SOMETIMES~!

OK, Let me bold that word...

SOMETIMES

Because as we explore... We will find many interesting things.... But things can turn out to be disastrous sometimes...

Speaking of disastrous, let's have a little flashback...

When I was 6, my dad brought me to Coronation pool...
I remembered I was super happy that time...
I remembered seeing a girl diving inside the pool...
Due to my stupid curiosity I dived tooo.....(So stupid then...)
Guess what happened? Yeap, I almost drowned to dead... Since then, I had phobia going underwater.... (I caught you laughing... That's not funny ok?)

That's why I told you, Exploring sometimes could be disastrous...

6. Live to live
LIVE...

This make me think of Suicide...
Suicide is definitely NOT a SMART way of solving probs...

So... Live on...

No matter what happens, it will soon be over...

Like my dad said,"When there's a PROBLEM, there is always a SOLUTION."

It's only the time, the time needed to seek for an answer, the time needed to solve the problem...

Everything will be over just like the rain....
It will never rain forever, when the rain stops... You will see the rainbow hanging....

LIVE ON~! FACE the CHALLENGES BRAVELY~! You will make it...

So, what bout' you? What is the most happiest things to do in life? Think of it, think of your friends, you parents and teachers... who always be right beside you, supporting you, giving you the helping hand you need...
They are your courage to live on happily...
