Bangsar is an affluent residential suburb on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, - an area akin in comparison with Holland Village of Singapore. Bangar is full of westernized eateries - cafes, bars, bistros, crafts, boutiques, etc. It is surely one of the most happening & popular hangout places at night.

Tonite, we went to Alexis Bistro. Alexis brings back fond memories of my university days where I studied in KL and Alexis was the hot hot place for hot hot genY dates. The decor is stylish & chic & modern. Serving "Grade A" dishes - a combination of Western, Asian, Middle-Eastern and fusion & delicious handmade cakes and pastries.



Warm & cozy atmosphere. Lots of tempting handmade cakes at the entrance area simply lure your heart to Alexis !   

We surely over ordered - filling up our entire table with plates of FOOODDDDDD! As this is our first time to Alexis in about 4 years - we decided to order as many items as possible.

 

  

Niçois Salad: Balsamic dressing with springy french beans & topped with poached egg & tuna. Everything paired so well with the salad dressing.

 

Tapas: Lebanese pita bread with hummus & baba ghanoush. Is a kind of Arabic Middle Eastern dish. I personally prefer the hummus (a mixture of chickpeas with oils and has somewhat nutty taste), & my bf prefers baba ghanoush (this is eggplant mixed with oils as well - tastes a bit smokey). The portions were perfect for 2 people.

 

  

Tapas: The clams in a little bit of white wine were sweet. The garlic & chili are surely a bonus for I am a great chilli fan. The gravy is just so awesome ! Too bad we didn't eat the bread which was extremely hard. Omg - don't let anyone see us slurp up the gravy.

  

Lobster Roll: Tender & sweet lobster flesh with a thin coat of mayonnaise in a soft hotdog bun. Nice.

Last but not least - this is what I have been waiting for the entire night - this is the comfort food that university students crave for and hangout with...

The Signature Remarkable Tiramisu Cake

 

  

This cake is really soft, creamy & moist. Topped with crunchy caramelized nuts & served with a strawberry sauce.

Sister Outing → Camwhore With Casio Exlim ZR1000 At Marmalade Toast

Camwhore With Zan At Marmalade Toast

Photo montage credited to Zan

Every week we try to meet up for gossip & unwinding ourselves. Everytime we hang out, we will set a theme and a challenge. We really love to DRESS-UP!!. Today's challenge is hair! This is big headache for me. I used to sport short hair and don't typically do anything special to my hair. But I still managed to do the SIMPLEST hairstyle - High Pony Tail!

it looks easy, but actually it took me half an hour to complete. I'm real noob when it comes to hair.

The mission of the day was also try out my new camera - the Casion ZR1000. 

Here's the first photo for us using the Casio ZR1000.

Zan: princess curl hair with polka dot hair band (so not her!! 做作到～～～拉长音） ＊＊做作 mean affection

The Casio ZR1000 really did a good job here. I liked the way the photos turned out. Damn nice. Zan's OOTD style was the Sweet Princess Style. My OOTD style was Japanese Kawaii.

We were pretty late meeting up. By the time we reached Duxton Hill, we realized that the cafe was going to close.

But we were still happy to be there and we promised to come earlier next time.

We continued cam whoring in the cab. ** hmm I surely miss the times we had in Bangkok

Next: Marmalade Toast, 02-11 Ngee Ann City 

We went next to Marmalade Toast. This tiny cafe hidden at a quiet corner was serving light food, pastries & dessert.

Another 做作的照片 while waiting for our food

We were kind of disappointed the interior design of the cafe - so we didnt expect much from the food.

But surprisingly, the lemon meringue sponge cake turned out very nicely with a soothing lemon taste & not too sour. There was soft sponge cake, moist. Overall, the taste & texture is just nice !)
We also order the monthy promotion → Chicken Quesadilles with lemonade (was ok except the foo wasn't warm enough)

** what is Quesadilles? It originally waS A Mexican dish which consists of tortillas filled with cheese & other ingredients such as lettuce & then folded into a half moon shape & served with salsa.

Thank you for reading. Love Jia Jia.
