Annabelle Place

Annabelle Place is so well known I don't need to intro about them anymore.. But for those who still don't know.. It is Located @ Permai 32, Tanjung Bunga.. A few shops from Blue Reef and Home Style.. This place is famous for their English Classic tea and desserts.. It is a British style kinda restaurant.. However, the time we went there it was already about 7pm+ and are rushing to go to another place, we had dinner only.. Food is good.. Even the vinaigrette I had in the main was tasty when combined with the crispy coral and iceberg lettuce..
Thumbs up to Annabelle!


Iced peach tea and Iced lemon tea served in the dwarf boots glass.. Cute..

Fettuchini Carbonara: We had the turkey and beef.. Creamy but a little bit dry..

Hokkaido Fried Rice: Sweet sumo fried rice with the sweet japanese oil I could not remember the name.. We ordered 2.. It would be better if the chef put some julienned Japanese seaweed..
=p

Ocean Treasure.. One of their signature.. Very awesome stuff where the crab bits is mixed with the cream of mushroom and then baked in a crab shell..


Cinnamon and Basil baked chicken with fettuchini.. Tastes superb! Suit the Asian tastebuds..

My plate..

Card and recipt.. Heh.. Personally, I love this place.. Do try out Annabelle.. And thanks to their waitress, Maybelle, for the introduction of Annabelle Place..
For more info, The Star has an article about Annabelle too!

Annabelle is closed on Monday..

Wedding Cake Decorations..

Hello again.. Sorry for the lack of updates.. I was busy studying Marketing subject for Mid Term which I think I will fail teruk teruk..
Ok enough of Marketing here is what we did for CAD 2.. CAD 2 means Culinary Arts and Design part 2..


Butterfly and Rose.. Made from Royal Icing and Pastillage.. We don't use the gum Paste because it contains too much ingredients and pastillage is our good friend!

Ops.. Forget to intro my group members.. Daniel on the left, myself, the wedding cake, Gareth and Reese.. The H&T chef got interested with our cake and asked us to keep it in the pastry kitchen.. So if anyone interested to view it.. It is in the pastry Kitchen, first work table only or can see throught the tempered window..

That's my chef, Chef Zaihan.. He is good in yoyo too :)

Mozi and I.. Take photo with celebrity chef very syok 1 you know? Next time when the video is on, u can see Mozi naked cooking in the beach.. XP

A bouquet of flowers at the bottom tier..

This is the whole cake with backdrop we found in KDU..

Aha yeah.. People, newbie chefs are mostly screwed by the masters.. So do smile all the time to keep up the spirit of culinary! Yahoo!
And remember to change your toot-up attitude.. You might get screwed if you think you know it all in this industry..

Humble.. Humble..

Taman Kheng Tian Pasar Malam

Helly guys! Sorry for the lack of updates!! Yada Yada, short semester is a stress pile and nobody is a fan of short semester!
Friday, we had class in the morning and then stayed back for the wedding cake decoration till about 6pm.. After it is done, I will post it up okay.. Damn next week, week after and bla bla bla we are having midterm, midterm, presentations and alot of diploma junks!

Nevermind that, come I intro you all to the Friday Pasar Malam which is located near Sunshine Jelutong.. We followed OBala the leader of the Group B damn nolife chefs and had dinner in the pasar malam..


First of all, we stopped in the stall selling Crepes! There are many choices of crepes from jam to fruits and savoury ones.. Do have a try.. I had the chicken ham and seaweed one.. Yum Yum.. But service is really slow lahh..

Crepe chef..

Then we stopped at a LOK LOK stall.. The most expansive stick is RM1.00 only.. So eat as many as you can..

Spotted this superbly raised up chelsea bun..

Another Lok Lok vendor.. Tom Yam soup one!

Ayam Percik in action..

I had one of this for RM5.00.. Not bad lah..

And this super jam packed Yong Tau Foo stall.. First time I saw YTF stall so full till the owner scoop the fish balls non stop.. One hour later is still the same.. One day I must go try also.. Wana join me?

Look at Jam.. He wanted to look for trouble I think.. Hahaha..

The pasar malam is devided into food area and the non-food sections.. The stalls are all at the side of the road surrounding the apartments.. Do watch out for Krazy motorists!

Had a fun day after a tiring kitchen life..

What do you want from me?

I think I am making some progress here.. After 2 weeks of goyang kaki and not thinking of what to do, tmrw and next week will be the submission date for our pastillage cake.. Damn, short semester what also short..

I don't know how or why but when it comes to pastry, sometimes I can think positive and make the stuffs possible.. Maybe I should just drown into the pastry line.. Grrr..
Do you know that I wanted to pursue my Degree too.. BUT it is very impossible :(

This is made from Royal Icing.. Not Rojak icing ya! Well, it is like one of the most professional skills in cake decorating because every piece need to be symmetrical.. Using a 'paper' piping bag, steadily pipe the icing on the OHP film.. Well hope that it hardens and does not crack.. Damn first time doing I found out that I have steady hands.. There are some butterflies in the kitchen too..

Steady arms thanks to the gym.. BUT I think I need to build more brains than muscles.. Lack of studies makes me stupid.. Damn memorising 5 chapters in Marketing and Supervision each is a headache..

Anyway, we will be doing our 1st of 3 assignments tomorrow after class.. Damn class is from 9am to 6pm.. Yeah need some ENERGY in the night to make more progress!!

No Progress..

2010 is supposed to be the best year lahh.. BUT until now, it has bring nothing good to myself.. FML FML!! Stress sekali.. Maybe I should think it over and put some confidence in myself..

Do you know that we are supposed to submit the choice of the hotels we are going to by the end of this semester.. End of sem is on February! I would like to go KL for training but there are alot of problems that stops me from going down south.. So, I shall pick Rasa Sayang and Golden Sands lah.. Since it is in Batu F and I love the place..

Damn This Semester is short and there are 3 assignments (Comparison of 2 establishment, Find Hotels Hierarchy Chart & explain the chef's role and Some 'skills' teaching stuffs) then comes 3 project which is The Pastillage Cake, Chocolate 3D and also the styrofoam (Pls not that apek again!) Started non of the assignments above and hope to do it by next week..

I think I need to do things on my own already since ego of chefs has won over our emotions.. I think people will eat us up instead of help lah.. ZZZZZ! Hate the environment as I am not throughly an 'evil' leader or subordinates.. I love togetherness..

Fucking hate myself lahh.. I need to go to the gym and lose some mutherfucking weights.. BUT, nowadays go gym and lift weights.. LOL! Im like so braindead now and what is taught cannot be remembered.. Maybe I don't like the subjects or the lecturers? XD And do you know that if we get total average marks for all semester at 70 or above, we can get another special certificate form IMI! Anyone reading this, faster go fight for the special certificate..

Life sucks when your Birthday is on the EVE of CNY.. Everything is expansive from the 7 course meal(lou yee sang included), QE2 and cruise.. I think the club is full too.. Dudes, want to hit down the club since we had not go to such place since we entered college, promise our gf and ex's?

FTW! It is even worse when you're broke.. 2010 tarak progress here.. Damn I need to update my blog too..

Ferry Ride - Midnight

First time I took ferry in the midnight with my friends! We went there quite early actually.. Then don't know why, on the Friday night, there is only 1 ferry operating.. FTW right? So we waited for the queue for about 1 hour+ before getting our ride..
Obala fetch us all to join him for the crazy joyride.. Haha!
While waiting, we went out and talk to some strangers.. Everyone has to wait patiently for the midnight ride..

Came out from the window.. Everyone waited till mad already..


I am trying to be decent..

While going through the ramp.. *Dung Dung Dung*

Went upstairs and took some photo..

Vehicle deck at the bottom..

So, after ronda ronda at chai leng park, we went to Autocity for supper @ KFC.. Obala turned sleepy and Gareth drove us home ;)

One random night.. Very fun indeed..

Everyone despite yound or old, gathered at the alfresco area in Gurney Plaza for the countdown to celebrate 2010! We chosed Winter Warmers as there are less crazy people and it is filled with family with kids! I think I am old already too..

Then the fireworks on GP rooftop! *Bing Bang Boom* and we walked up the stairs to lvl 6 and get the car to go Batu Ferringhi.. Not really jam but I only met Obala, sue and her friend.. Mr. Long went into sunset so we did not go in cause of the blocking..

Chilled outside HRH and was amazed by the dark knight light.. Yeee Haa!!
Later on, we went down to my hs there and met the female cow! Chit chatted till 5am in the morning..
Happy New Year 2010 folks!

2010 RESOLUTIONS

My 2010 resolutions and wishes are obviously longer than 2009 because of the ''2nd'' stripe in my age.. I am now a 20 years old dude who has done nothing to my own life.. Future for chefs in Malaysia is a Hardcore pain.. Plan now to avoid disappointment easier than die later right?
It is seriously time to start planning for 10 years to come ain't it?

Okay, lets start with my wishes first (ain't a gay business here ok?)

- I wish to own a running shoe for gym purposes
- A watch for industial use later in this year
- My friends to be at my side all the time (or when I need them)
- Industrial Placement in a fine 5 STAR HOTEL!

Here are my resolutions:

- Lose more weight; my previous resolution worked!
- Get a kitchen job.. It didn't work but I'll try again..
- Brush up my PR skills; I wanted to be anti-social last year but not this year..
- Used Thasi's quote but this year I'll stay humble while dreaming big from schizzow..
- Excel in my Culinary Skills; Got my first Gold medal for Pastry Competition in College.. First thing to boost my confidence?
- Would like to keep in touch with my high school friends..
- To be a better Gentlemen.. Yeps, all men must have this quality and I have to learn my manners..

That's about it.. The above is already too hard for me to handle; I shall stop here and be merry on the first day of 2010.. People who are just starting their college life, value your high school friends and take good care of yourself..
BEWARE of scams and scums! :)
