Dolly Dim Sum, Avenue K

Assalamualaikum.

It's hard to find delicious, halal dim sum. So far Dolly Dim Sum is the best place that feeds my dim sum craving, although most of my Chinese friends told me it wasn't the best. Some says "tak sedap lah~ Got better place but can't bring you, it's not halal :( " So yeah Dolly, you are the best for me.

The menu

My top picks (warning - tasty and yummeh!):

Steamed Szechuan Dumpling. Tasty, spicy. Not so spicy for me but Rose seems to find it a bit hot?

Fried Salad Prawn Dumpling

The inside of our fried salad prawn dumpling

Steamed Egg Custard Bun

I love you, Mr Egg Custard Bun *cried

Steamed Radish Cake.

We enjoyed the radish cake except for one of our colleague. Tak boleh masuk. Loya. So her portion belongs to us! Yayyy~

So there goes the best dish. The drinks and congee are average to my liking.

Salted Egg and Chicken Congee. It reminds me of bubur ayam McD

Homemade Barley Water with Lime. Refreshing, we like it

Watermelon with Lychee Munchies.

For watermelon with lychee munchies, sadly no lychee munchies! Just the lychee deco on top :( Not worth for RM9.80 per drink. Juiceworks' watermelon with lychee satisfy even more.

Thai Style Fried Rice. Not recommended. It's too sweet with a lot of onion

We were here during lunch hour, the restaurant is a bit crowded but happily, fast service provided. The waiters are quite friendly as well. Will love to come here again (someone is craving for the egg custard bun). Awaiting pay day~

Honeymoon at The Lakehouse, Cameron Highlands

Assalamualaikum.

Simple and sweet :) *long post* scroll to the end, if you dare :P

The Lakehouse was amazing. Well it actually depends on the purpose of your vacation to Cameron. Out of all the hotels, this is the best for lovebirds - honeymoon or if you need to run away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I recommend this place to couples ;)

Advisable to park your car at the 1st floor, it is nearer to the reception. Free car wash every morning!

Entrance to our room. We stayed here on 22 - 24 December 2015, hence the christmas decoration

Fireplace~ at night we just sat there and chit chatting. Such a warm feeling..

To the room!

The moment we step in the hotel, it feels like being in different country - we are no longer in Malaysia! The decoration was simple and elegant, plus with romantic ambience, very relaxing, surrounded by Cameron's fresh air... it's just so good.

We took 3D2N Intimate Honeymoon Package 2015&2016, a bit pricey but worth it! The room (deluxe) was a bit small but it was cosy, clean and smells good! Very comfortable in every way. The toiletries are so good - I love their cinnamon soap and moisturizer! The scent really stays... Since this is a honeymoon trip, they decorated the room with 68 stalks of fresh roses - adding to the sweet smell.

Loving the combination!

Buttercookies with orange and apples

The view from our room. The top building is where the expensive suites (Cameron & Foster Suites) are located. 

Our room was close to the road but peaceful still :)

Adding to the awesomeness is the food. For breakfast, go with Nasi Lemak. You will not regret it. Ikan bilis rangup, sambal tak pedas sangat, timun fresh, nasi cukup rasa, ayam goreng panas~~ can u imagine..?

Nasi Lemak by The Lakehouse. Drooling~

Omelette

Lakehouse Big Breakfast

The breakfast selection

Fresh honey!

For this package it’s inclusive of candlelight dinner and steamboat dinner. Please don’t skip this.

Since I am so indulged with my meal, this is the only picture that I have~ it's good, believe me

Steamboat for two. The soup (both chicken soup and tomyam) was delicious. Oh, beware of  the tomyam peeps! Spicyyy

Fresh Cameron veggies

And.. the thing that I really looking forward to - the complimentary afternoon tea! Having your afternoon tea overlooking the hills with cold-fresh air..with your loved ones ;)

Scones with fresh cream!!! Scones scones scones

Nyums

Enough gastronomy. Let's take a bit walk shall we? ;)

Birds need a room too

Private place! Love it

Storybook scene

Sorry for the flowers pic spam. Minah bunga katakan :') 

While writing this, I can't help smiling looking through all the pictures (most of it not in here~ :P ). InsyaAllah, I would love to come here again. Trying different menu for my dinner perhaps? 

Check out The Lakehouse for reservation.

Recipe: Cheesekut Marie/Simple Tiramisu/Simple Cheese Cake

Assalamualaikum.

My first cheesekut. 

Hello there. Thank you so much to my lovely Kiera for this recipe. First time rasa cheesekut ni dekat open house beliau, terus jatuh cinta (bayangkan emoticon yang ada mata bentuk love tu) dan berazam untuk menuntut ilmu dengan beliau. So let me share this with you, sedap weh betul. Satu portion cheesekut ni aku boleh habis sorang *godzilla* let's not talk about the calories. Tehee

Ingredients:

• 500g Tatura Cream Cheese
• Susu pekat F&N (separuh tin sahaja yang digunakan takut muak. suka manis? letak la semua. )
• Satu sudu besar jus lemon
• Biskut Marie (Cappucino - this is how the tiramisu taste came up!) cap ping pong
• Susu segar dutch lady kotak kecil (lowfat/fullcream up to you)

Tatura Cream Cheese 500g RM15.05 at Jaya Grocer

How to:

1. Pukul cream cheese sampai kembang. Tak payah lama sangat, janji dah tak berketul. On the mixer guna level 1-2 pun dah ok.
2. Masukkan susu pekat F&N, pukul lagi hingga sebati.
3. Masukkan jus lemon dan sambung pukul sebati.
4. Sediakan bekas, lap kering. 
5. Ambil sekeping biskut marie, masukkan dalam plastik kuih lutsinar dan hancurkan. Serbuk biskut ni untuk ditabur atas kek last sekali.
6. Ambil biskut marie, celup sekejap (sekejap je tau!) dalam susu segar dan susun dalam bekas. Jangan malas sangat, celup sekeping, susun. Celup, susun lagi.Penuhkan lapisan biskut dan layerkan dengan cream cheese. Layerkan nipis je tapi meliputi keseluruhan biskut.
7. Ulang celup dan layer sampai habis semua biskut marie tu. Baki cheese tuang akhir sekali, tebal tebal pun takpe.
8. Taburkan serbuk biskut marie yang dah dihancurkan tadi.
9. Tutup bekas, masukkan dalam fridge tempat beku selama 12 jam.

Siap!

Masa nak makan biarkan cheesekut anda dalam suhu bilik sekejap lepastu bolehlah dipotong. Tips potong cheesekut? Rendam pisau dalam air panas, lap dengan tisu, dan baru potong kek.

Cream cheese before the beat

*mixer aku tak stable, tengah-tengah je bahagian cream dapat dipukul. Tepi-tepian tak kena so aku keluarkan dari kepala dan gerakkan mixer secara manual. Pukul satu arah je tau!

Masukkan susu pekat F&N

Dip your biscuit

Arrange it. Kalau rajin, tutup lubang lubang yang ada

Layering - Cream cheese on!

Final touch - the crumble

The Finale. Awesome

I did 5 layers in each bekas kuih raya. Managed to get 3 cakes and one small part

After 12 hours, serve!

Kek batu bata

This is the best, economy cake so far. Sedap! Try lah buat. Have fun layering. Maybe for topping boleh ganti strawberry/nuts ke? Thank you for reading this post. :)
