Food Review : Little White Cafe, Bangi

The title pretty much sums it all. The cafe is little and its white and obviously a cafe ! How do I bumped into this lovely cafe? Well, at first it was supposed to be a one way trip finding SBU's new store in bangi. After finding that particular place, and we needed some titbits to munch. Once, I saw the owner of SBU went to a cafe around Bandar Baru Bangi, so I thought to myself, why not I gave it a try. Waze is currently my everyday GPS for any new places. Try it, you've gonna love the apps.

As we reached there, the front view of the cafe really looks like a English-kinda-vacation-home design. You know, with the vines tree creeping out, not in a creepy way of course. (I did not find any suitable words to replaced 'creep'). First thing as you step at the hallway of the cafe, you eyes will eventually stuck at a small window of pastries and cakes. That will make you stop and stare and let's just say, grab your attention. Well, that's what happened to me and my sister. We went straight to the menu piece by the door.

Getting into the cafe was like entering another world, well like entering another state. Because the deco was to die for. Though it may seems a bit cluttered as it has so many frames on the wall, too many books on the shelf and the tables might not support big groups of guests. We were seated at the back as we came by two and at first glance of the table cloth, well, it is very..vintage. The menu were given by this one waiter and after glanced it through, we decided to try Apple Pie, Panna Cota, Baked Mac n' Cheese, Choices of Berry and Mocha.

Before ordering any of these, I asked the waiters about this one drink - Warm Cinnamon Milk, as good as it sounds, I deliberately asked how does it taste and she give me "the" look and said, "It taste like milk with a dash of cinnamon." Hmm. I was expecting a little bit more of explanation like a personal point of
view, you know, like you want them to persuade you to buy that drink though it may just be milk. But since, I did not get that answer, I choose Mocha instead, my save choice. Another is, the drink - Choices of Berry. I asked what kind of berry will she be using, and she just pointed at the menu and said, "Anything you want. You know the menu is kinda straight forward and I don't understand why customers like to ask questions like this."

I mean, this is our first time here. Not a regular. SO how should we know what to choose? Even when I say I want the menu to be left for a while at the table, she questioned why. I'm sorry, but I do have the rights to asked for the menu to be there. Urgh. But gladly, as soon the foods and drinks arrived, I've cooled down. I'll break down a bit about the price - it's a little bit pricey on some foods that seems unrealistic.

The scrumptious Apple pie, the one that got my eyes and fall in love instantly.

Felt craft

Have you ever heard of felt craft? It's like a paper but softer like cloth, just a bit. Crafter usually use it for their artwork let say like keychain cartoon or maybe handphone straper. You know, those kind of things. Urgh, I'm bad at describing. Nvmd. I'll show you some pictures.

As you can see, this is one of the examples of felt craft, which by the way, my cousin is selling it. Try searching for "amj collection" in instagram and facebook. You may buy there. I bought two of these and the pink one is from yours truly. I bought it but insist of making it own my own with her teaching me how. My it was harder than it looks ! 

First you have to trace the template to the felt paper/fabric. Then sew it and lastly put come cotton/wool in it to make it puffy like the one below. Cute huh?

This one, I decided to just hang it in my car while the other one is on my car keys. Ching. Ching. Ching. *the sounds of the small bell on my keys* Haha

I'm seeing double

Nah. I'm not that crazy. Basically just wanna say Happy Birthday to my two friends who shares the same date on 4th February. One is a girl and the other one is a boy. Nope there not twins, the're just sibling from different parents. Haha. No lahh. The're not related at all.

When it comes to birthdays, I always feel excited. Though it is not my birthday. I like to plan for like surprised parties or even baked a cake or just a dinner treat. If non of it I can achieved I might just watsapp/tweet/instagram or even call and sing the cliche Happy Birthday song.

For this one person, I only managed to watsapp, tweet and instagram on wishing her as she is going for an interview for her coming internship. So two good things happened at one time for her. Good for you, my friend :)

The other one, finally, after along time, we managed to go out on a dinner treat from yours truly. He's kinda guy that is very committed with his work. From what I know lahh. So he's quite busy and does not have many free time to spend. So luckily, on his birthday, he is free. Lucky you. I took him at Grafa since that is the only place I can think of when it comes to western as he suddenly had craving for chicken chop. I proposed going to The Sumbs, but think back again, sometimes their menu can be sold out even though the closing time is not yet near. So to avoid any disappointments, I Just took him to Subang. We ordered Pasta Alla Arabiata and Parmesan Cheese. But sadly, the taste is not the same as I used to eat. Maybe the cook is already tired I assumed.

We ate and talked. It has been a while since I last saw him and there were so many thing we talked about. It was informative yet interesting. Glad that he's quite talkative. Haha. But, due to his unwell condition and having ulcers, he can't enjoy the food very much. He only ate just to fulfill his hunger and not being able to really enjoy the foods. Nvmd. I'll take youout again next time, or you take me out plak. Since, my birthday is just around the corner. Yes, mine will be one day before internship. Nice.

So, Happy Birthday again you too :) Now you are 23 !

Let's make some smoothies !

As reading my title, does your throat suddenly needs of a good smoothies? If the answer is yes, then come on board to the "My way of making smoothies." Recently I just bought a smoothies blender with a detachable bottle. Yes, detachable ! Ain't it cool yaw? You blend it, and you can take out the bottle with you. So convenient. No need to blend and then pour it in a glass.

Mine got no proper brand. I just bought it at lazada.com.my. Try search "smoothies blender" and walaah ! a whole list of blenders that you can choose from. So, continuing on the smoothies. Since the blender had just arrived this evening, I thought of giving it a whirl. Bought some fruits at Giant like strawberries, bananas, kiwis and thought of getting one fiber veges like spinach. But what I did not know was, I pick the wrong veges to start with. I just look at the price sign saying "Spinach Red" and instantly I thought it was the right veges. But after paying it at the cashier, suddenly the tag change to SAWI. I mean SAWI? I wanted BAYAM. Owh my, there's go my green smoothies. But, nvmd. move on.

So, to find the perfect recipes, you can just google it. Don't be lazy my friends. If google is not that interesting, try pinterest. They have some good pictures that might just made your mouth watered, and the links is very useful. I found my recipes there, btw. 

Okay here are some example of my smoothies. I just used three fruits and milk. As I am still experimenting with the flavors. Owh yes, one more trick that might just ease you on preparing the ingredients for smoothies. I found it on pinterest that, it is better to prepare like a week's ingredients for smoothies. Just to make it easy for you, if you're like "on-the-go kinda person". Pack it in a zip-lock bag and chill it in the freezer for that instant cold. 

Okay, let's start. First you cut and divided the fruits according to the recipes or you may alter it later. Then put it in the blender and give it a whirl and tadaaa ! your own smoothies. No need to go to Juice or any other juice stalls that might just burn a hole in your pocket. Trust me, buying the ingredients is way more cheaper than buying it ready-made.

This is where the fruits being chopped and as you can see, I packed it and labelled it by date.

Here is the new blender, as you can see it looks like a bottle which might just be convinient for me as I'm going for my internship in March and this might just give me the morning energy I need.

You make me twirl, whirl and swirl. 

Change the blade top to a proper sipping bottle top and you're ready to go. Enjoy ! :)

Hello again

A year has past, addition to my current age. Which I'll be turning 23 soon. 2013 has left us and came 2014. Resolution you may ask? What resolution? It seems that my 2013's resolutions have not yet be fulfilled, and why must I have a 2014 's? Owh yes, we Malaysians have this kind of habits that we only made resolutions like in the end of December and we'll be like, "By next year, I want to be skinny.", or "I'll be more motivated in my assignments in next sem.", or maybe this one, "I'll work hard to earn every penny that the world has prepared for me."

Tell me, who has already achieved their goals and dreams and whatever BS? To those who DID really well and achieved it, kudos my friend. But for those who are not, like your truly here, well, there are still months to go before 2015. 

But 2013 has been good actually. Though obviously has it's ups and downs. But I do cherish moments of knowing new friends like my Degree classmates. we're only 10 in a class. 10 jokers that have our own unique-ness and characteristics but after 3 sems being together, we're good. We're bonds like brother and sisters. Well, actually sisters and one brother. Haha. 

But one thing in Degree's life that I surely not liking it that much was, not being able to hang or see with your own bffs. Though we may in one faculty but getting the right time to see or having meal together was hard like we were in a different state. I'm here and she's there. I'm free and she's not. Despite all of it, that I can managed, but the part where she cancelled the date that I was supposed to make her a surprised birthday party was the icing of my ice-cream before it melts. Everything that I had planned - ruined. It was already hard to see her and I had to make an appointment just to meet her for lunch. Yes, appointment. Somehow life in Degree can surely messed-up a person's life.

I'll brag more later on. I just got back my mood for writing and hopefully this mood will stay - at least for a while. As I miss writing. 

I made this for my friend's birthday.
Rainbow cupcake. Well, rainbow should have 7 colors in it. Mine got 4.  Topping it with cream cheese and sprinkle some colored sugar.
I wanna put some pictures.  But it seems the uploader its bit cranky. Jealous much? Haha.
Later I'll post.

I'm back. I think?

It's been a while since I last post. Suddenly I've lost interest in writing.  A lot to post but not in the mood. Too many things happened. Let's just list out on what have you been missing out.
I fall in love unexpectedly. I got new phone. I sold cornflakes meringues for occupying my semester break. My cousin got engaged. Congrats. My relationship end. Long story.  Fasting month came.  I lost weight. Drastically. Haha. Gila. Been in a lot of fight. Over emotional. Raya came. Didn't get a lot duit raya, though. Haha. I didn't get in APB. I apply back in Masscomm. Degree years has started. I'm in Publishing. My diploma convocation. With CGPA of 3.46. I know, sikit ja lagi. But still thankful. Basically, I think that's it.
