We have not been buying the conventional birthday cake for quite a while already instead we go to Secret Recipe to buy few slices of different types of cakes for birthday. Used to buy the whole cake there but it’s too big for us to finish, so might as well buy several slices of various types of cakes. This way, we can try different types of cakes available at Secret Recipe and save the trouble on making place in the fridge to store the huge cake and take us ages to finish one whole cake. You’ll get tired of eating the same cake every day as dessert almost 3 meals a day for almost a week ;p

After my birthday dinner, we headed to tHe Spring’s Secret Recipe to buy the cakes:

Left: Chocolate Banana(RM6.50), extremely addictive, loads of banana slices on a bed of chocolate cream with chocolate sponge and coated with melted home-made chocolate. It’s recommended to eat this as soon as possible(in one day, don’t keep for too long ;p) because the banana will go black, you can see from this photo. Even though many people said that this is nice but not for me. Of all the cakes, I like this the least.

Right: Oreo Cheese(RM6.50), frozen cream cheese loaded with crushed oreo biscuits.

There’s another slice of cake but didn’t take the photo, it’s Raspberry Cheese(RM7), similar to Oreo Cheese just replace the Oreo biscuits with raspberries.

Left: Chocolate chip walnut(RM6.50), four layers of chocolate sponge with fresh chocolate cream, chocolate chips and californian walnut.

Right: Choc Mud Cake(RM6.50), filled with semi-sweet and smooth creamy chocolate fudge.

I love all of them! Not too sweet and moist enough. Yummy!

To some people, having bird’s nest is like taking rice everyday. To me, it’s a once in a blue moon thing, it’s so expensive.

First time had bird nest was yearsssssssss back, that was because it was given to us as a gift. After that, never eat any until now. Now got to have it because there’s an offer so my mom decided to buy it. What we’ve been having is from the bottle, ready to drink after opening. Usually those in bottles are bird’s nest with rock sugar. We never cook it ourselves, never even touch a bird’s nest before.

Bird’s nest is known to be a very nutritious food. According to naturalnest.com, it can promote reproduction and rebirth of human cells, good for skin, kidney, lung and so on. You want to know more, just visit the website I mentioned just now.

It’s just like eating sweet soup with bai mu’er or white snow fungus. I mean the texture felt like bai mu’er.

That’s all I can share. I’m no expert in this ;p

Imperials Duck… Went there twice only. This time went there for brunch with my aunt and sis on a Sunday morning, it happened few weeks back aka the week we came back from Singapore. That was exactly one month ago hehehe… Only update it now because there were so many things to update.

My sis kept saying that she wanted to eat dim sum in Singapore but we didn’t manage to try any because of aih… Don’t want mention anymore. So my aunt suggested that we went to have dim sum when we got back to Kuching. After discussing on which place to go for dim sum, we ended up at Imperial Duck. Reason? *shrug* No reason at all. One of the nearest place from our house I guess…

Mind you, I’m not a dim sum fan and have very limited knowledge on what a good dim sum should be like ;p So I can only judge it based on my own standard.

Right: “Si-Chuan” Dumpling(RM3 / 4 pieces), thought it will be very spicy but not spicy at all.

Left: Steamed Pork Ribs(RM2.40), this is not bad, didn’t get the meat stucked in between my teeth and the meat was easily separated from the bone.

Right: Steamed Chicken Feet(RM2.40), I love chicken feet, I don’t care how it’s cooked as long that it’s chicken feet hahaha… Do you know that chicken feet are rich in collagen (read it somewhere but don’t remember where), in other words it’s good for your skin! ;p

Left: “Har Kao”(RM4.50 / 3 pieces), the skin is a bit tough and dry.

Right: Steamed Pork Dumpling(RM4.50), I’m quite disappointed with this, I was expecting more soup in there.

Left: Egg Yolk Bun(RM3 / 2 pieces), don’t you think they are cute? Not bad for this, if not mistaken the filling was made from salted egg yolk and custard.

Overall, I think the dim sum is pretty OK. What do you expect from someone that only had proper dim sum meal 2 times in her entire life? (exclude the usual pao and sio bee that can be found easily at coffee shops) *LOL*

K11 is one of the latest karaoke in town, located just opposite Hong Leong Bank at Pending. It’s facing the main road. Bank Rakyat is just at the next block. Behind is Crown Square. There are quite a number of rooms and all of them are pretty big.

Managed to steal a peek on some of rooms when I got lost ;p I lost my way few times. I somehow kept getting confused on my direction after each toilet break *LOL*

We were assigned to “Hong Kong” room which could fit more than 8 people. Usually other karaoke named their rooms with number but this one with name of various cities in the world such as Shanghai, Dubai, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and etc. The wall poster was different in every room.

The system was totally different from other karaokes that I’ve been to. It’s a bit too complex for me hehehe… The user interface was so fancy. I didn’t like how the list is being displayed. We had problem figured out how the arrangement of the singers and the songs.

As for the song selections, it seemed a lot compare to other places. It seemed… I’m not so sure. At least some songs that I couldn’t find in other places, I found it here.

We took the 12pm-8pm slot.
Weekend and public holiday = RM20/person, including 2 drinks/person.
Weekdays 12pm-8pm = RM18/person, including 2 drinks/person.

If you ordered drinks that can be found in tin, they will give you two tins instead of two glasses which the two glasses usually only have less than 2 tins of drink.

The sound system wasn’t really good for my standard. The microphones were not wireless. Oh… They use projector instead of LCD.

If you want to go, you can make your reservation by calling 082-332211.

I can’t wait for the karaoke at tHe Spring to open!! I hope the place will be a no smoking place. However, do you think it’s possible? Hmm…
