             It was a good few days in KL surrounded by family and besties with a wedding luncheon, two birthday celebrations, a shopping spree and a camera. *shhrrriiinnggghhhh (sfx: a whiff of a happy fairy's wand)*   Pictures to follow.

             As I sit here at the dining table with my white 3 year old Toshiba of which I still love very much despite its lack of memory now (lol), I'm kinda able to do my assignment and at the same time turn around and watch whatever's running on E! channel. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to work and earn your wages just like everyone else with the only difference being that you work in the comfort of your own home? Or rather.. from wherever you want to be. That would be ideal, no?

            But... come to think of it, I wouldn't mind having a proper office (especially if it's one like my dad's). It'd be much easier to separate work life from home life for sure. Or if I run something like an F&B business, then I'd be able to be in the shop/cafe/restaurant during peak hours and be home the rest of the time. Hmmm....

Note to self: Aiya.. still got more than a year to go at least. Finish your assignment.

              The place captured my heart so much I visited it three days in a row. Looking vastly different when you step into the place compared to what the place looks like if you just drive past it, Ferringhi Garden not only boasts of its beautiful landscaping and decor but also its gastronomic experience it offers guests. It's well tucked away in Batu Ferringhi; at the end of the line of night bazaar shops.

                 For starters, they serve each a slice of french baguette with cheese. Best consumed immediately after being served and tastes even better when you're very hungry.

                 Prawn and fruit salad came in a very appetizing food arrangement. The prawns were big and juicy and went very well with the thousand island-ish fruit salad burried underneath it and all of this is stuffed and balanced into three quarters of a pineapple with just right the amount of cabbage and cherry tomatoes on the side.

           The pictures above show the restaurant's Mongolian beef with sauteed vegetables and crinkle cut fries served on a sizzling hot plate (my boyfriend and his brothers seemed to love this very much). The other picture here is what I had - lemongrass chicken with mashed potato with seasoning and ratatouille - and to me, it was gobsmacking good. There were other dishes I tasted on the other days I went there but I don't have pictures of them. I had one of their fish of which I really enjoyed but I really can't recall the name of the dish.

              Mmm.. the dessert on the left is a pretty new one according to the absolutely informative waiter of which served us. For this one, I copied down the name cos I found it to be quite a unique one for the palate. Solo Ristretto Mela Affagato (I hope I got it right). It's a poached apple filled with a shot of coffee topped with a cinnamon biscuit stick. Oooh...I loved it. The picture on the right shows another two desserts - a chocolate brownie with ice cream and the other one of which 3 scoops of varying flavoured ice cream sit in half a papaya is called the love boat. My dad enjoyed this so much he wanted another. But we had a banana split instead. Of course, the call for more ice cream from Daddy was partly because the trio (names are John, Johnny & Jonathan) played us some good country tunes of which he absolutely adores (which came with a very generous tip by the way).

              This restaurant is definitely somewhere everyone should visit at least once. If I have the budget, and given that no other places top this one, I foresee myself holding a lot of celebrations there. I absolutely L-O-V-E the place!
