Jamaica Blue @ Setia City Mall

My first visit link: Jamaica Blue, Setia City Mall - First visit

On my second visit, I upgraded my hot chocolate from small to medium.

I asked the waiter to get me a scone.
He asked, "Plain scone?"
I replied, "What other scones do you have? I only see plain ones displayed."
He looked at the display behind me and laughed, "Oh ya only plain scones."

Scone verdict: It needs to be masked with a lot of jam. Its not the melt in your mouth crumbly kind of scone.
I miss scones in Scotland and Dublin.

Jamaica Blue Cafe, Setia City Mall, Setia Alam

Ventured to one of my favourite mall when I am in Shah Alam - Setia City Mall. I am happy there have been some new restaurants here of late like Sushi Zanmai and Lavender bakery.

The most recent of recent is Jamaica Blue Cafe. Located on the ground floor, it is a brightly litted cafe with and inviting set up.

Friendly barister, but a bit of a language barrier with the servers. Otherwise, its good.

I ordered a small cup of hot chocolate and their vanilla pancakes. I have been looking for decent pancakes around and the usual recommended pancake places were all in Damansara. Goo d to know I have found one in Setia Alam.

Hot chocolate was good with fancy foam of a girl.

The pancakes were quite good too. Unfortunately, it was topped with strawberries which led to a tiny insect crawling on my pancakes. A turn off and I had to return it. They were apologetic and I requested for another one but with the strawberries on the side.

Will I come back? Yes, because they have quite a fancy range of food I would like to try. There is also a branch in midvalley :)

Malaysia Online Shopping

The latest Malaysia online shopping trend has become a very popular shopping method for shoppers recently. Even for me, I have always been looking for other alternatives when it comes to shopping and online shopping is the best fix for that.



There are many benefits of online shopping and the very reason why online stores and online boutiques are a booming business today. Let me list you the advantages of Malaysia online shopping.

 

1. Save time – Surely we all do have a specific list that we want to buy and with just a few clicks we can buy anything instantly. Later you will find out you can move to other important things, which can save time. Voila!

 

 

2. Save fuel – This is my favourite part. As the market of fuel industries battles in quite a ‘nasty’ war of price which can be increased and decrease, especially recently, but no matter how much the fuel is going to cost it does not affect our shopping errands. Because basically shopping online does not require us to drive to go out anymore, so no purchase of fuel is necessary, or would be less.
 

 

3. Save energy – I have to admit that it can be tiring to shop from one location to another. With online shopping I do not have to waste my energy anymore when buying.

 

 4. Prices comparison – Search engine allows me to check prices and compare easily than ever. It even gives me freedom to determine which online boutique offers the most affordable price of the items I want to buy.

 

5. 24/7 availability – This is a fact. Online stores are not like any conventional retail stores that we know, because they open 24/7 and this gives us the freedom to shop at our own convenience.

Langkawi 2015

I have not been to Langawi in few years. It was always a yearly vacation for my family and I. But, everyone grew up and we just became busy with work and other things.

Here I am in Langkawi today on a much needed vacation. The flight here with Air Asia was a breeze. I am here with my brother. We managed to get cheap air tickets. About rm70 both ways.

We have been to Langkawi numerous times. So this trip was about doing things differently, seeing the changes in Langkawi and finding new restaurants to try.

Upon arrival at Langkawi Airport, we rented a Kelisa for rm150 for a three day use. Pretty decent price as it was not peak season. The car was in good condition too- strong cold aircond, enough speed, good radio connection.

First place we visited was Berjaya Langkawi Resort. We wanted to stay there too but it was fully booked. But, its a must see everytime we are there because the view was breathtaking.

Day 1 on this island and I feel absolutely relaxed and rejuvenated. This i what a holiday should be like.

Happy New Year 2015

"But in Malaysia, a sombre mood prevailed after the crash of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 carrying 162 people in Indonesia and flooding in the country's northeast which has displaced almost 250,000 people.

Year-end countdown celebrations have been cancelled, with many companies instead launching fundraising campaigns for flood victims."
