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
Coffee-machine inside the room
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
Muesli with fresh strawberry
Beauty.
Our breakfast table
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.

Bridezilla

Assalamualaikum.

Lagi beberapa hari *counting days* dulu takda rasa apa, awat sekarang ni kadang-kadang tu hati ni nervous tak memasal? Dulu aku selalu bahan kakak serumah, sekarang aku pulak rasa apa dia rasa. Kalau boleh tak mau dengaq sapa pun tanya pasal kahwin. Haaa to that extend. Rasa gelisah takut semua ada. Tapi how to share this? Sebab orang tak faham.. Cerita la seribu kali pun. Dengar lagu apa pun tak lut. Tak tenang. Tapi aku dah jumpa satu penyelesaian. 

Baca Quran. Dengaq ayat Quran, bukan dengar lagu Marvin Gaye. Satu hari tu boleh kata lama jugak la aku bersimpuh baca Quran dalam bilik, baca saaampaii hati jadi tenang dan boleh tidur. Dugaan hati tak tenang ni, nak tidur pun susah tau! Macam-macam benda pelik, gerun yang aku mimpi.. Haaa toksah cerita la. Bangun tidur nak pergi kerja sememeh sebab tak cukup tidur. Huwaaa. 

Lagi satu simptom nak dekat kahwin ni, aku macam taknak contact langsung tunang aku. Lantak pi hang la nak kata apa (boleh tak camni?) aku cuma nak contact dia benda yang melibatkan kerja kahwin je. Apa pasal? Ntah aku tak tau. Aku tak boleh la jugak kalau dia marah ke tinggi suara sikit pun, sensitif dia ya Allah, sedihnya tu macam tak dapat jawab paper exam rasa tak nak kahwin terus. Dapat bayangkan tak? 

*Bridezilla

......................

Before ending this post, nak cerita sikit. Aku still tak boleh nak overcome misophonia. Geramnya kalau aku dengar bunyi orang kunyah-kunyah makanan jenis tak beradab sopan tak reti tutup mulut ni. Ya Allah stress betul......
Rasa nak baling mug.




Sekian.

~39 days from my big day~
