.....times of refreshing.....

It was a pleasant Saturday afternoon and what a great time to dine at the newly opened Moonlight restaurant in Permas Jaya. I guess this is their no. 6 branch in JB , if I am not wrong. Like most bistro in JB, they sold pastry and cakes but also maintained a restaurant to dine in and served nice coffee. This is a great place to wind down for a chat with friends. I had my lunch + tea there before heading to church for the evening services.

Lots of buns on sale

And delicious cakes!

oh...here's my flat white coffee...served first.

My kid ordered a mouth watering Aglio Olio

I had a BBQ meat rice ... looks like char siew rice ..lol

My kids shared a fried rice with my wifey as the portion looks big

My little princess looking forward to something ... since it's a cake house ...

Oh yes..her little strawberry cake and a chocolate cake for her bro.

It's the fasting month for the muslims and while shopping at a nearby mall, I came across Old Town Cafe ramadan set. Since there were not many restaurant in that mall, I thought it's not a bad idea to try out their MyDulang set meals. This was one big set and I can hardly finished it! It came with a tomato rice, squid in belacan, kangkung, long beans, fried lekor and a chicken rendang or beef rendang or red fried chicken. In addition, there was a rose cincau and gula melaka jelly dessert. At RM19.90, it's really full! Good thing my wifey didn't ordered another set but a bowl of curry noodles which she shared with my kid. My little princess had hor fun soup since she's just recovering from that dreadful hfmd.

The 'MyDulang' set meal ..consist of Tomato rice, sotong, kangkung, ayam masak merah , long beans and fried lekor

The tomato rice is not bad as my son keeps taking scoop and scoop of rice away from my set. LOL ... Overall, not too bad as it fills up my stomach to shop for the afternoon.

Have a good weekend, folks!

It was a long day for me as I sat in to listen to a six-hour long presentations given by six different vendors, starting at 9am. By the time the presentations were over, I was yawning despite having three cups of coffee. By around 5.30pm which it ended, I decided to call it a day and after an hour long journey where I catch some naps, I reached the gym. Still feeling a bit sleepy, I tried to workout hoping that I feel fresher after that. And it is really true especially after my short run on the treadmill. I felt awake suddenly after the run ! And, mentioned about running, I used to run slow and short but after I started running longer, I find that I needed to run longer to feel good! LOL ..well, I guess that's the effect of getting addicted to the feel good feeling of exercise but I think its not a bad thing.

I thought of having Japanese food tonight as I have a craving for chawanmushi but somehow it was the peak hour for dinner by 7pm+ and I gotta settled for some less crowded eateries. I had Subway instead. Tried their World Cup promotion of Chicken breast sandwich but I find it average only. The good thing is it keeps me full as there was a big slice of meat in the sandwich.

A hot tea, mushroom soup and 6" sandwich.

Well, I will always try to avoid the peak hour as usual for lunch or dinner at the malls, so that I can enjoy a quiet meal. Have a good mid-week, folks! :)
