La Bibliotheque, Avenue K – excited for alcoholic cakes but ended up…
DISAPPOINTED.
Yup, disappointed.
Disclaimer: I’m particular with my desserts so do take my reviews with a pinch of salt & more often than not; you might want to deduct perhaps 30% off the overall rating. Hahaha.
Anyhow, this place has been in my radar for while now. Cakes are always my TOP priority from my “new places or food-to-try list“. The list gets longer each day, and some places eventually forgotten; but never for cakes!
So even though the location was inconvenient (all the way in KL) & the venue less than ideal (in a club!) I planned, plotted, scheduled my time with some friends & finally after 2 weeks, stood happily in front of the cakes chiller one hot evening at La Bibliotheque, Avenue K.
Dim Sum & Rice Dumplings At Li Yen, Ritz Carlton KL with Chef Tan
The rice dumpling festival is coming to almost an end; with most hotels & restaurants offering their once-a-year creations til 6th June 2011.
What about you? Have you tried any of these fancy, loaded with abalone & what- nots yet this year?
Aside from a 3 kg one (HERE in Sunway Resorts Hotel) & a lovely red dates one by One World Hotel , here’s one that I had the opportunity to make myself at Li Yen, Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur just last week.
Yes, “make” as in getting my hands dirty actually stuffing the dumplings & tying it up prior to boiling. Usually, the case is the other way round, me untying the dumpling & stuffing my mouth with it. 
JobsCentral – the fastest growing job portal in Malaysia – Job hunting time!
I can’t the remember the last time I had to apply for a job. I mean like seriously. These days I get job offers over meals, at events, during parties. I haven’t updated my resume in years.
But it’s always good to keep an eye out for opportunities no? Other than these upfront offers, I thought it would good if I go back to the drawing board & do the old- school job searching practice of using jobs sites; just for kicks, to see if there’s anything out there that I may have missed; or perhaps I’ll come across an interesting job that may an entirely different genre from what I’m currently doing.
I think I could do with a change… *confused*
Anyhow, one of the job sites that caught my interest is this one – http://www.jobscentral.com.my.
Absolut Masterclass Malaysia 2011 – I am now officially an ABSOLUT Connoisseur!!
I would have thought I’ll be a certified baker, a Le Cordon Bleu chef or even an acclaimed food critic (disclaimer: ok, all these are ‘syiok-sendiri’ dreams) before I would be certified anywhere near as “an alcoholic”.
Instead, last week I got myself certified a drunkard as a haughty vodka-sipping connoisseur, right after I swallowed 9 different types of vodka & sat through an educational but surprisingly entertaining 3 hours with Mr Matthew Pomeroy, Brand Ambassador of Absolut.
Mr Matthew Pomeroy; charismatic, cheeky & jovial.
Pristine liquid in a row. None labelled. Sip to find out!
Chateau Musar – my Lebanese Wine tasting experience at Al-Amar, Pavilion KL
Lebanon. How many of us know much about this country?
And Lebanese wines??
Lebanese food yes, but Lebanese wines may not be entirely familiar territory to most.
It has been an interesting first quarter of 2011 for me; both experience & certainly culinary -wise.
Fresh off guzzling wines in vineyards in Yarra Valley, Victoria Australia; I recently had my first sip of South African wines from the La Motte Vineyards . Argentinian wines was another memorable discovery during the MALBEC day a few weeks back (blog post pending).
And just last month I was privileged enough to dine at Al Amar, Pavilion KL for their exclusive wine tasting dinner, featuring wines from the respected Chateau Musar vineyards.
