Cameron Highland Family Trip 2016 - Day 2

Hi! Have you read my Day 1 post? If not, check it out HERE. Very quickly, it's Day 2 of our short family trip. Mum woke up early to prepare a simple breakfast for us all. Sunshine eggs, and noodles!. YummY!

Delicious breakfast

 Before leaving the beautiful penthouse, we all took a wefie of the whole family! Nice right!

Welcome to Leong, Woo & Lee family!

After breakfast, we headed south to The Lakehouse Cameron Highland at Ringlet. But on the way, we stopped by at Cameron Tea Valley. Green tea valley, made us felt so relaxed.

Hello from me and Hugo (the nurse)

Another angle

We all walked down to the tea valley for a picture down there. Very lovely place to take awesome pictures!

We all then drove to The Lakehouse Cameron Highland.

Lets continue our journey to The Lakehouse

 We were awed the moment we saw this beautiful English LakeHouse!

Walked up the ramp at the back of the Lakehouse. Took this beautiful picture of my mum

After turning around, you can see this beautiful side of the Lakehouse with a small garden.

We ended the visit at Lakehouse with a family picture

We then move on to the next stop 'Strawberry Corner'. Our all time favourite to visit at Cameron Highland.

 Hello everyone! Here's the baby with the uncle!

Ultimately, this is my son's favourite place to visit too!

This place is always our best stop for lovely tea break in the garden

Strawberry Corner is the best place for flowers, and cactus purchase. Too many varieties!

Update after tired weekends..

Weekend has been really stressful and tiring as I would have to finish up many things and study for this week..Phew..really tiring and depressing as my weekend turned up to be dull and not exciting as I always had.. ='(

Last weekend I tried to make my day more by making colorful breakfast..Cheese sandwich with yellow and red cherry tomatoes.. Colorful and nutritious..

Today is Tuesday and I could not believe that I got a surprise from my BF. We just got back from grocery shopping in Jusco and while I was pouring my oatmeal into the container, he approached me from behind asking me to close eyes he wanna do magic but I cannot see it. So I obeyed him and he put a necklace around my neck..To my surprise he gave me beautiful little diamond necklace...Thanks honey...Muacks =)

So long for this time..got to continue reading my journals and do some work..Good night world..=)

Masak Masak!

Emmmmm.... It's good to be devouring in good and delicious foods... I'm a person who loves to eat.. and loves to cook. To those who know me well, they know that I enjoy cooking and because of this, they labelled me as 'House-wife' wtf! Well, loves to doesn't mean a good wife. But I must admit that my passion for cooking has bring a bad effect to my hubby. Sobz.. His central obesity is worsening.. OMG! But he just seem to be ignoring it. Haiz...

5. Prepare oil in a wok. The right temperature for deep frying is 180 degree celcius, if you cannot measure the temperature, check it by dropping a little bread crumb into the oil. Sizzling and bubbling of the bread crumb indicate the right temperature.

6. Fry the fillet until golden brown. Remove it from the oil and drain off excess oil on kitchen towel or cooling rack

* REMEMBER to fry at the right temperature and heat. Control the burner to get the right heat. DO NOT cook the fillet with very high heat as it will over brown the coating of the fillet, but the fish is not cooked inside.

Bel Pasto Italian Restaurant

Today I went for lunch with Baby at Bel Pasto Italian Restaurant at Kepong Baru. The have two branch one in Kepong Baru, and another one in Kepong, near Aman Puri Condominium. The food prices there are pretty standard for those dine-in restaurant. The only thing we find worth dining is their set lunch. Their set lunch ranges from RM9.90 to RM29.90. The cheapest set is the one that me and my love always go for. The set consists of a soup of the day, main course and a glass or drink.

My favorite choice of main course is always the Spaghetti Olio while my baby boy is Pizza Margeritta.. Their soup of the day for today is Cream of Chicken..which I personally find not as appetizing as the pumpkin soup..

Forgotten to take my Spaghetti Olio..my bad! Sorry..But this is how the pizza and soup looks like:

You can see the ambiance and the surroundings in the restaurant. Well it looks quite bright in the restaurant but the lighting is quite dim and will be very romantic for couples at night. Minus the noisy conversations by other people, this place is suitable for couples as a romantic date. But today there was a lot of people and it was very very noisy..i can barely hear what my love was talking about! =.="

My custard pudding is done! My first time experience of making caramel...

This is the best pudding ever...I love it.!

Cooking on the run

Lately, I've been cooking my meals everyday. There will be fruits and vegetables daily and protein. My protein sources are fish, lean chicken breast meat and egg. For rice, I take low glycemic index (GI) source like brown rice. I enjoyed cooking like I said b4. It's been ages since I last posted any cooking recipe..Well, been super busy to try out new recipe.

Tang Yuen Jie just passed not long ago. I totally forgotten to post a beautiful picture of the glutinous rice balls sweet that I made..

I love colors and when you see the glutinous rice balls, you will know the colorful ones are mine..

My plan for tomorrow is to try this Custard pudding out! I've tried out the Pumpkin pottage by this channel and it's super easy to make. Delicious as well... try this out too : Pumpkin

Best of luck to me!

Relaxation

I have one week study week from today on wards. I took some of my time to watch some videos related to my future profession. This was recommended by William, and it's a channel called The Food Hospital. This is a UK TV channel about how a General Practitioner (GP), Dietitian and a surgeon work together to help solving various diseases and condition using food as medicine..Very interesting channel and I do learn a lot of things...
