Honda Malaysia launched the 3rd Generation all new Tafetta White Honda City few days back & I was blinded by the sheer breeee—-lliance of it……..
Eerrr…, I meant the colour ok. 😉
Yes, I get all excited with anything in WHITE. My current car is white. My favourite pair of jeans is white.
I’m thinking of buying a WHITE Blackberry (only if it is WHITE ). I have 30 white tops. Ok, you get what I mean.
I was honoured to be present at the Gala Night of Islamic Fashion Festival 2010 yesterday night at the JW Marriot Hotel, KL.
Note: All pics taken with the Sony NEX 3.
Opulence, lavish & dazzling are the keywords to describe the fashion & this matches the ballroom set up of JW Marriot that night. My eyes were nearly blinded as I feasted them on my surroundings as well as the outfits of the Datins, Sultanahs, Datos (females) & Pn Sris that night!
Apparently this lady has been around for a long long while. So much so that the parents of friends, uncle + aunties of fellow foodies & friends of friends (whew!) can attest to her slurpilicious noodles and swears by her superb one- of- its- kind gravy.
There’s even a juicy history that comes with the business, of which I will gladly share with you one day over a plate of …what else ? Nyonya mee rebus! 😉
A regular sized portion like the below minus any trimmings (cuttlefish, etc) is RM4.00. I wouldn’t say it’s dirt cheap, since it doesn’t come with ANY form of meat at all, but I opined that it is worth the $ once you take into consideration the laborious process required to produce the gravy.
For previous postings and an idea of Nathalie’s specialties:
June & July’s menu is HERE..
** August Menu HERE..plus..
** September Menu: HERE,
and October Menu: HERE & Oct 2nd visit HERE.
Whew! That’s a lot of visits! 😉
I’m a bit late for my Nov visit, simply cos work got in the way. Lunches longer than 30mins are a luxury really. Anyhow, I’m uploading the menu & pics 1st. Review coming up after I finish my work!
Note: All pics taken with the Nexus One as in my hunger & haste, I forgot BOTH my Sony NEX -3 and Sony DSC-N2!!
Let me share with you her menu for the month of November cos if you are planning to visit, you can start to budget now. Haha..
Nathalie’s is open for breakfast as well. I’ve heard great reviews of her cannele and buttery brioches.
My chosen starter: Tuna Tartare in (Mille Feuille), Pistachio & Sesame Seeds, mustard cream, RM25. I have weakness for anything that’s labelled “tartare” 😉 and this was a superb choice!
Hmm.. How should I begin?
Perhaps I should keep it short & simple.
Overall verdict: No re-visit for me till perhaps when there is new dishes.

Let’s keep the babi guling open for debate shall we? Since all of us never had babi guling before except for Kelvin (www.ktheblogger.com) who had babi guling in Bali prior to this & whose verdict was that the babi guling was really bad; maybe there are others out there who wants to share their experience?
So, yea.. does the babi guling in Bali look like this?
This version has tender pork cuts (the texture was alike chicken) with gravy that tasted like rendang, plain rice, bland vegetables & the only credit to be awarded was; at the very least, the sambal was ok. RM16.90 +.
I got addicted to the after-facial radiance & the luxury of being pampared after my first ever facial HERE !
A bad thing in a way, LOL, as facials are never cheap but as I aged, I’m leaning towards the concept that facials may be necessary after all.
Well, I’m back to Celmonze again, since that’s where I had my virginal facial experience. I have since decided to stick to the same salon too, since I’m comfortable with the staff & beauty professionals here. :good:
The Celmonze International Laboratories was founded in 1980, & now comprises 5 state-of-the-art research labs located across Europe & North America, with its HQ in Paris.

Cilantro Restaurant & Wine Bar @ Micasa All Suite Hotel; a name revered by many food connoisseurs to be the epitome of fine dining here in the heart of KL.
Set Lunch – at RM150 nett. A weekly rotating menu, only available on Fridays.
No. 8 of The Miele Guide 2010/2011. Yes, even at No.8, Cilantro is the first Malaysian restaurant to make it into the Top 10 of the Miele Guide.
YTL’s soft launch of their @Yes4G launch #ytlc @ Cafe Vienna, Lot 10 Bukit Bintang was yesterday & as usual I was impressed to the nines of with what YTL has in store for all of us Malaysians.
Heck, YTL is doing a better job than most of our politicians & even our government at this point of time, for while we lament, curse & felt let down by these parties, YTL actually spored hope, inspires the people & gave us all something actually worth to look forward to!
Listening to Wing, CEO of YTL Comm stirring opening dialogue with claims of YES to be the 1st 4G mobile internet network in the world, launched by a Malaysian conglomerate (YTL) for Malaysians certainly arouses feelings in me that was thankfully, entirely dissimilar to the emotions I felt when it was announced that Malaysia is aiming to build another world’s tallest building. Now, that’s a FIRST that we should be proud of!
Now all YTL has to do is live up to the hype & it’s promises.
That’s left to be seen in the coming months. But what I can do now is share the buzz on YES, from what I have absorbed over delicious Austrian food at Vienna Cafe last night. Hehehe… 😉
I’m up today with a halo of excitement over yesterday night.
Imagine a world where #StreamyxSucks, “try facing your modem to the east/west-south/ WTH??! for better coverage...”, data capping doesn’t exist & doesn’t matter anymore.
Would you like that?
Oh, did I hear a “YES” ??!!?
