tasha eats: Limau-Limau Cafe @ Jonker Walk, Malacca

I finally get to do a cafe review! I kinda forgot when was my last. Oh well. Anyho, just a few days ago my roommates, Anis and Alin, and I, took a drive down from our University to Malacca Town. We decided (Ok , /I/ decided) to head on down to Jonker Street (maybe cause I'm absolutely in love with the place and the food). I initially read about this place on The Weekend Brunch and I decided since I'm already studying in Malacca, I might as well check it out.

KL, Damansara, PJ and TTDI aren't the only places with really cool hangout spots/cafes. Malacca Town is filled with them too. We're just too lazy to find for them. Finding this place was super easy. Its just a few metres from Jonker Walk's entrance on the left. It's this cozy little shop lot with very limited seats. I love the ambiance and their drinks (though I think they are a tad bit overpriced. For Jonker Street. Where all glorious food and drink are dirt cheap)

Drinks!
I had their Lychee + Lemon Fruit Freeze (RM9). It was amazingly thirst quenching. Note: It was a pretty hot day. I was practically melting. Alin had their Chocolate Banana Milkshake (RM10). Which in my own personal opinion, isn't so good. Probably cause I hate blended bananas. I hate any drinks/smoothies with bananas in them. I only eat them with chocolate ice cream. Or as fritters. Or on their own. But Alin loved it. In fact, she was just craving for it today. Anis had their Passion Fruit Milkshake (RM10). Wasn't my cup of tea either. Or was it the weather.

The three of us decided to share an Apple Crumble + Vanilla Ice cream  (RM 8.90). It was so... different. It wasn't your conventional apple crumble. With just cinnamon and apples. It had some other sort of fruit in it i could just taste it. Even the crumble mixture was different. I loved it.

All in all, whenever or if ever you guys are in Malacca and are in need of a place to chill, Limau-Limau is the place to be.

Wad dat: Care package & Rainbow cupcakes recipe

Don't know what to get a friend for their birthday/christmas? I didn't either. I'm a girl and i find it super difficult to find gifts for guys because they're just so easy going. They'll accept whatever and they never give you hints on what they want. Gosh

My jerk face best friend's birthday was a few days ago and because I was so busy with University and being away from home (aka away from malls and anything civilized), I decided to give him a care package!

A care package normally consists of just food so I decided to jumble up stuff he likes. (Also added a Deathly Hallows bracelet cause why not). Care packages are so simple and it shows just MAYBE how much you know about a person. or not. its fine. That person will accept it whether or not they favourite Skittles. Or my homebaked cupcakes. meh.

Yeah I sorta baked the cupcakes myself. OK, not sorta.

Rainbow Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream

100g butter
100g white granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
195g cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
4 different food colouring of your choice

• Cream the butter and sugar until white and fluffy
• Slowly add the eggs (one by one) then later add the vanilla extract
• Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Then gradually add the flour mixture into the already wet mixture
• Gradually add the milk and whisk till all mixed
• Divide cupcake batter into four bowls and add food colouring of your choice

I used turquoise, lime green, cotton candy pink and purple.

• Next add half a teaspoon of different cupcake batter to each cup. (I dont even know how this is making sense to you guys so luckily I took a picture)

• Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes (170 degreesC)

100g butter

1 1/2 cup icing sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp milk

• Basically making the icing/frosting is easy. Whisk together the butter and icing sugar until, I repeat, until, the mixture is white and fluffy. 
• Add the vanilla extract and milk
• You don't wanna add any food colouring because the cakes are already filled with it.
• Enjoy!

That's about it. It's pretty easy. That's my basic recipe for all my cupcakes. Don't think to much about care packages. Just put in whatever you think may put a smile on that person's face. 

****Appreciation blog post for ma lame ass hoe*****

I just wanna wish you a really happy birthday, man. You're always there for me (Even when I don't want you to be. but its ok.) You've taught me alot eventhough you are technically 8 months younger than I am. ha ha. Lobster you never hate you from my cats poop to yours. 

Anyway, just have fun with it. No pressure.

Enjoy!

(PS/ I get off university for  2 weeks starting the 20th of December so I'll continue blogging from then on!)

tasha eats: Quar/tet @ TTDI

Hallå!

I have long neglected this little blog of mine for I am busy with university. And I am truly sorry for that. But fear not I present you a new cafe review! 

So, I've been here before I wrote this blog post. Before I even decided I wanted to write about this place. I've had a past experience with their workers and they well, she, ticked me off so much I decided to leave. It's like she didn't want my business or some sort. But then I decided to go again and maybe, just maybe, I'll get good vibes the second time.

And I did!

The worker there was cool. He was pretty chill about me writing and taking pictures of the place. When I got there they were in the midst of decorating the place. They got some 'paintings' and plants. 

We decided to sit outsit eventhough the air-conditioning inside was ace. But the lighting was bad. as you can tell.

I had their Smoked Salmon Bagel (RM 16) it was so good. I ate everything on my plate. I like their bagel. It's sort of like this rendition of a french loaf. Their crisp salad was pretty spot on and the whole dish itself was super duper filling. (I'm pretty sure if ma lumpster, Yi Peng, were to have this it'll take her the whole day to finish)

My National Service friend, Viv, had their Turkey Ham sandwich or something I apologize. She forgot what she had. But yeah. She wants to pin-point the fact that the bread was a little bit too thick. She had some trouble eating it but the flavours were there. All in all it was a good dish.

Here are our horrible shots of our drinks. At this point I think it was my camera's way of saying I'm tired let's go home. Cause it just could not focus. I had their Raspberry Soda (?) (RM 10) God, I'm so bad at this. Can't believe I forgot the name of the drink. Agh. 

Also, we had their Spiced Hot Chocolate (RM12). It was ok. Not my cup of tea. (ha ha)

I think I'll come here again. Maybe to just chill with my best friend. Try their cakes next time hmm
Stop being a homebody. Go out and i dont know, explore.

Peace out

Boob Tube: 10 Things I Hate About You

Ah this movie just gives me the feels. Heath Ledger. why.

This movie is the modernization of Shakespeare's "The Taming of The Shrew", (which i will quote later) (This movie's version of course). I love that this movie was produced in the late 1990's. I love anything produced before the 2000's.

Of course the movie had to end with a prom. So typical. But that's what I love about it. I love that this movie is so cliche. The guy falls in love with a girl he didn't think he would. This girl that appears to hate the world falls in love. A girl befriends the new guy and uses him to get another guy but ends up with him. blah blah blah. You get my drift don't you?

"I hate the way you talk to me

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car.

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots

and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick;

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate it, I hate the way you're always right.

I hate it when you lie."

"I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around.

And the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.

Not even close,

not even a little bit,

not even at all."

"It's not everyday you find a girl who'll flash someone to get you out of detention"

sigh, enjoy
peace out
