Can you take a small mangle from a kitchen?

Im full of food as well as theres one monstrous raise of dishes which Id prefer to omit for as prolonged as possible.

A couple of months back you showed you just what my 2010 has looked like. Lets consider which Part One. Would you similar to to see a other half?

I had a birthday in May. The people which know me got me bourbon.

Bless their souls.

This is a beginning of a many appropriate celebration of a summer. Malibu beach house. Sunset. Many people spinning many records. Really not a bad hold up during all.

Whitney as well as Jenelle during a beach party. This is before a beach cartwheels as well as frigid, exposed sea swimming.

I made Bourbon Banana Bread Pudding with Jill. We giggled a lot. its just a thing you do.

I made a marriage cake! Remember?

It was stressful as well as delicious.

This sold marriage made me cry similar to a woman cries during a wedding. Love. Daaaang.

Frozen. Chocolate. Chip. Cookie. Dough. Balls. The many appropriate words ever.

One day my mechanism died dead

I dont want to speak about it.

My dear sister lives in Seattle. you went to there to see her

as well as bake in a association of her cat.

Lunching in the City for less than RM 30. Max@iHaus, Jalan Imbi, KL.

from Paranoid Android by Paranoid Android

(no pork served)

It is still possible to get tasty and good food in KL for less than RM30 for lunch. Max offers a free drink (iced lemon tea) a choice of Starters and Mains for RM 25++

I was looking back at my previous posts and discovered that I have only started blogging just over a year ago. This means I have known my regular makan kakis for just over a year. It is strange that time flies so fast I feel that I have known them forever. Ciki plucked me out of the unknown and from then on, she and her friends have become almost a permanent fixture in my life.

I am shy, painfully shy. Introverted. I sometime imagine myself to be a XY version of Amelie from Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, stuck in my little cloistered make believe world and amusing myself with tall stories weaved out of fantasy. Some of the readers here would have caught glimpses of my mad musings from some previous posts.

Choose between this Marinated Feta Cheese Salad with Olives and raspberry Vinaigrette or Pumpkin Soup with Caneloni Beans

I am actually intrigued by the current 1 Malaysia campaign. I have always thought that there is only 1 Malaysia, because as far as I and my friends are concerned we do not go about our daily activities thinking that we belong to any particular race. Nor do we go around classifying our friends according to their races. The only time the subject of race or rather, religion pops up is when we have to choose a place to dine when we have to be sensitive to the restrictions certain religions impose.

Probably I am shielded from the harsh realities of racism by the urbane milleu that I often keep, but my best friend is a Malay. Both of us share a resentment of the polemics of race, especially used by an oppressive Government who remains to stay in power by constantly satisfying the lust for money and obscene wealth by it's power base. If the lazy mind is the playground of the devil, it is exemplified by the proponents of racial superiority.

For mains last week, there was a choice of Charbroiled Chicken Chop with Chardonnay Rosemary Sauce

If there is one thing that I have learnt from my blogging friends is acceptance. I have to admit I am probably slightly eccentric, and may not be the best company for a meal. I can hardly recall how many sentences I uttered during my first encounter with the bloggers at Sri Nirwana Bangsar. Despite my awkwardness and shyness, Ciki, with her big and open heart persisted in asking me out for meals with her friends.

I never had to hide the fact that I am an atheist, I have never got to be embarrassed about being a total moron when it comes to directions or the fact that I read the most inane and boring books ever written. And they respect my fear of being photographed and my dislike for big crowds and loud noises. I could just be my own morbid, neurotic self.

or, Oven Baked Butterfish with Thyme Jus and Sauteed Potatoes.

There is no time for the Germanic tradition of differentiating between friends of acquaintances. I had to leave formalities aside and not worry about using Du or Sie. I can hardly believe that we have only known each other for about a year or so. Food sessions are greeted with warm hugs and absence from twitter are peppered with "I miss you" or "are you still alive?" messages. And again, the absence of discussion about race during our meet ups.

or, Smoked ducked Breast with Olio Spaghetti.

We live in a country that is filled with ambiguities and paradoxes. A PhD holder which in any other country in the world be considered an ethnic Chinese who professes the Islamic faith has jumped into the racial polemics of asking immigrants to go home. The funny thing about this country is that I am constantly reminded of my ethnicity in my homeland. In Germany I will be known as an Auslander, in Thailand a Malaysian but in Malaysia, I am a Chinese. Ethnicity and Nationality are two different things.

You will have to add another RM 14 to 22 for dessert, and pay extra for coffee.

But thankfully, among the food bloggers, I am known as the Paranoid Android, not the Chinese Android, but an eccentric Malaysian who loves food.

These bloggers are priceless and not for sale.

Thank you, dear friends for your acceptance and for you friendships. Missing for lunch are @llemongrass, @nigelskelchy, @minchow, @boo_licious, @j_chocoholic, @unkaleong, @wackybecky, @lotsofcravings, @seanyoong

Plan B Bangsar Village I the menu, the food, the DESSERTS!

Freshly revamped, Delish/Delicious is right away Plan B.

Under a same government as Carnoodling in BV II, (of which we was informed by Aja, a Brand Comm Mgr, which Carnoodling has not long ago gone by a change of menu as well) Plan B looks set to be an additional favourite eatery for me in Bangsar.

Its hard not to similar to it, for a impulse we strolled near a entrance, we was greeted by a lovely sight of lip-smacking desserts, from cakes to brownies as well as tarts to muffins !

A thick cut of this rational Banana loaf is usually RM9++.

The interior of Plan B. Warm, cosy as well as inviting.

The Menu FOOD.

Breakfast & Brunch. Till 6pm.
Ive found my weekend brekkie joint! Yes!

Extra side orders, if we wish.

Soups as well as Pies.

Burgers as well as Sandwiches MY FAVOURITE!!

Salads for a health-conscious.

I adore a salads here! My lunch today was this: The Chopped Chic Salad, RM18++. Pungent blue cheese, crunchy romaine leaves, sweet PEARS, crispy turkey bacon, tomatoes, onions & cucumbers. Interesting mix of flavours due to a differences of ingredients, this hearthy salad was delicious.

Some savouries displayed during a counters, reminiscing of Delish.

For tea-time, alternative than a repertoire of desserts on display, Plan B has these small bites as well as from 6pm onwards, a dinner menu tantalizes with a likes of Duck Confit, Spiced Lamb Rump as well as Slow baked Wagyu Cheeks.

For lunch, both Asian meals as well as Pasta menu has some-more than sufficient options to make we undecided. It took me 20mins to decide my order, as well as which was only for a salad. LOL.

Drinks Menu.

Plain H2O is supposing for FREE in these bottles as well as a Butterscotch Milkshake, RM8++ is a steal, well thick, sweet as well as rich.

Coffee & Tea, during usually RM5 RM7++.

There is WINE & beers

I bumped to an aged friend Jasmin here & she kindly common her Caramel Bar with me. Rich thick chocolate commanding layers of whole nuts as well as gummy caramel, this Caramel Bar was usually RM5++.

Plan B is from a same people who paid for us Delicious, Dish, Delish as well as Reunion. Abby (from Plan B) has a little discuss with me after my lunch. Benjamin Yong as well as family has retained My Goodness Sake as well as Carnoodling, with Plan B being their newest baby, as well as an additional try Tea for Four (opening in Dec) taking over The Banquet in BV II. Plan B aims to move back a good aged days of Delicious, where food is homely, affordable as well as quality mixture reigns supreme.

Well, we must contend Im unequivocally vehement for a Ms Read group, as well as we unequ! ivocally hope they keep it up!
