Green Tea

I used to despise green tea. Not green tea the drink itself but rather, stuff that are made flavoured with green tea. Green tea ice cream, green tea cake, green tea whatever there is. The colour doesn't look appetising at all. Dark green... It reminds us of vegetables and truth be told, who likes the taste of chlorophyll? It's so... grassy.

But one day while out on a shopping trip with my family, we decided to eat ice cream. I wasn't in the mood for rich flavoured ice cream like chocolate, nor was I in the mood for ice cream I've eaten before. In short, I was in an adventurous mood so... I tried green tea ice cream!

The first green tea ice cream I tried was from some gelato shop. At first, the chlorophyll smell was overwhelming but the more I eat, the more I enjoy the surprisingly refreshing combination of green tea, the coldness and creaminess. Haha I'm bad at describing how food (or anything for that matter) feels and taste like. Just try it! Maybe you'll like it =)

And from then on, I started to try other foods that contain green tea. One of it is matcha au lait. It's green tea plus milk. I've always tried it warm but I think it would taste better cold. Creamy but the green tea smell isn't too strong. 


This adventurous foodie eventually tried out the new Secret Recipe Green Tea Cheesecake as well...

And she has to say: She didn't enjoy it.

The combination of cream cheese and green tea somehow made the green tea smell become too overpowering. Not nice not nice not nice~

Yucky.

But Green Tea flavoured Snow Ice? Awesome =D

My mom too got introduced to matcha through Sakae Sushi's genmaicha, which is roasted brown rice with green tea. I found out that she likes green tea too when she suggested we buy green tea cake from RT Pastry Shop (Subang Jaya branch). Sorry but there is no photo available of the cake. It is way better than Secret Recipe's take on Green Tea cake. Green tea fans staying around Subang should try it =D

By the way, I realised that green tea stuff is always coupled with red bean. I wonder why?

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total

SOULed OUT

I'm gonna talk about FOOD again! My favourite blogging topic muahahaha. I have other passions too but there are all pretty... Scientific? Haha they will bore you to death. So yea, food is the best topic to blog about =) Especially here in Malaysia food connects us all. I've only met a person who doesn't enjoy eating (WHY!?). She is weird (You know who you are haha) First, a HUGE cup of coffee to awaken your senses. My daddy always order a kopi O whenever possible. I think he fancies himself as a Kopi O connoisseur haha =3 But I keep my distance from coffee. Coffee makes me jittery and anxious. Even drinking tea makes my heart go on overdrive grr. Mummy has been wanting to visit SOULed OUT since awhile ago but we just didn't get around to visiting the place, until today. SOULed OUT has two branches but we went to the one in Sri Hartamas. Took us quite some time (and a lot of help from iPhone's Maps application) but we manage to find the place. The location

Cool air

Because nothing beats naturally cool weather =) Was up in Cameron Highlands last weekend. And on the way up we realised: My bro has car sickness. That aside, it was a very uneventful trip. My dad thought me something too! Have you ever seen step-like slopes along the roads that are cut out from the mountains? Those are known as... Ba... Err, I forgot. But you know what it is. Apparently according to Malaysian regulations, they must not be more than 6 per slope and each step must not be more than 6 meters high. But that's not the case for most of the slopes. Please, those slopes are SO high you cannot possibly limit the steps to only 6! So, like most Malaysian rules, it can be altered to suit the case. You know, altered. Anyway, engineering is fascinating =) Especially about airports! And my dad loves them too. I suspect I'm very much like my dad. When he loves something he will babble on and on and on about it, usually to a person who will not be listening to him at all. Ki
