Neuschwanstein Castle by King Ludwig II
(It took King Ludwig II 17 yrs to have this castle built but he only got to live there for around half a yr before he was held captive as being unsound and then found murdered at a river. Feel so sorry for him~~
Anyway, I guess that only unsound ppl built dream castles, and so pls don't mind me to be unsound too;)

Coffee Elements @ 3rd Floor of Gurney Paragon: A Place for Rendezvous for Coffee & Bread

Tried having my late lunch around tea time at this coffee place.
Ordered their Cafe Macchiato and their artistic Egg-in-Ham bagel with poppy seeds on top of it. One could get another similar version of egg-in-ham from the Mugshot (btw, I haven't visited that place yet, so at the moment, I'm too curious to try how does this type of unique bagel taste here).
So, below are the following pictures.

Anyway, this egg-in-ham poppy seed bagel gives one an idea to make it at home for your loved ones when one is too lazy to go out from the house during weekends. ;)

Baskin32Robbins: My Ice Cream Flavours Adventure :P

Hi, boys & girls, welcome to my Baskin32Robbins ice cream flavours collection in an adventurous way, by tasting different types of flavours.
I've read quite a number of blogs which I've never come across people blogging about ice cream collection. So, I guess I might be the first unique blog to do so. ;)
Anyway, I really love eating ice creams from Baskin32Robbins. I do not know why I particularly love this brand so much compared to HΓ€agen-Dazs or other reputable brands, but I just got hooked on this brand ever since younger, around Standard 5.
From this flavours collection, I'll be able to tell which type of ice cream flavours I've tried before and which flavours I've consistently having it every now and then. Well, join me here to know more ya. ^.^

Btw, If I do go for an ice- cream adventure, I'll practically pick a Wednesday. That's because every Wednesday is a Pink Day. So, for a junior scoop of Baskin32Robbins ice-cream you chose on a Wednesday, you'll get another junior scoop for free. Practically, it's called a Double Jr. Scoop. Therefore, you'll actually get to try two flavours at one go. How does this sound? Great right? Wheeeee~
Eating ice-cream makes me happy like a small kid! :P

Top flavour: Raspberry Cheese Louie, 
Bottom Flavour: LovePotion#31
When you're thinking about ice-cream, just go out to buy so that you can eat the ice-cream!
31% on 31st of every mth! Half pint.

*Flavour: Strawberry Cheesecake
I will never fail to have my Baskin32Robbins even in Hyderabad, India :P
But there isn't Pink Day apparently.
Flavour: Hot Scotch Butterscotch
Chillin' out Day cause I've been Berry-nized! 
Top Flavour: #flavour #veryberrystrawberry Bottom Flavour: #blueberrypannacota
Chillin' out no matter what and that's my icy cream life~~
Top Flavour: #flavour #pomaswirl #pomegranate Bottom Flavour: #raspberrycheeselouise
Sweet tooth for the tired soul....
Top Flavour: Mango Yogurt
Bottom Flavour: Red Velvet Cake 

Self-created happiness! With the sweety & sourish taste, to combo up my life

Top Flavour: #redvelvet #sweety Bottom Flavour: #blueberrysherbet #sourish
Overall, I think I always go for Red Velvet or Raspberry Cheese Louie...I think I like the lil' cheese filling as If I'm a mousie :P Lately, I just discovered that the Blueberry Sherbet which was sourish in taste was quite nice too. However, the blue colouring is very intense and beware, you'll end up having a blue tongue. ♪I'm blue, da be dee da be die...♪LOL!
I would actually recommend one to go for a scoop of sweetness and another scoop of sourish so that you won't end up being intoxicated by sweetness. teehee! :)

So, Happy tasting Baskin32Robbins!

Pasta Zanmai, Sushi Zanmai & Rakuzen @ 6th Floor of Gurney Paragon

First time trying at this newly opened Japanese eating outlets wholly owned by Management of Super Pasta Sdn. Bhd. This management actually opened three Japanese eating outlets side-by-side of each other at the 6th floor of Gurney Paragon, which are Pasta Zanmai, Sushi Zanmai and then a higher end restaurant named Rakuzen. 
I think I've heard of the name..."Zanmai..." before, which was long ago as these outlets are famous in Kuala Lumpur. 

      So, here goes, at first, I tried at the Pasta Zanmai outlet, it's a fusion of Japanese food with Italian pasta style. When the outlets were newly opened, one could see that the queue was soooo terrible. One needs to queue for more than 30min to an hour in order to get to eat here or leave your contact number and the waitress will contact you approximately in an hour's time. This was as if one were to queue for free food!

I hate queuing for a very long time...so, I went back after sometime,when the hype for a newly opened outlet is over. What to do... when things get too new, those things will be very interesting right? :P 
The price was average & affordable, seeing that the portion served was quite appropriate in size.

I ordered this and I didn't order drinks as I think I would be really full by the end of the day. Indeed true!

This was my main meal. I was really hungry at that time. So, I was feeling really satisfied. ;)

Next, I then went on to try at Sushi Zanmai. IMO, this eating outlet was a bit expensive than Pasta Zanmai. Below are the food pictures that we ordered and shared (for two small-eater people).

Finally, on last weekend, I went to try the last outlet by the Management of Super Pasta, in order to complete the food hype by those KL friends of mine, who were talking about these outlets previously. So that next time, I could join in to say "What's the hype about?" :P

So, here comes Rakuzen! One word to describe the below food picture,
Delicious! Oishii ne! This whole set costed around RM35/person including tax (6%) & service charge (10%), of course excluding the sushi which you saw above the set meal, just on the picture itself.

All in all, these outlets are worth a try or either one may come back for more to try the other sets, especially for Rakuzen. I think I just got my eyes hooked on their menu! :D
