If you ever go to Batu Pahat, which is about 250km from Kuala Lumpur, do stop by this confectionary gift shop, i like their sweet bean cake which pictured on the right. It cost RM3 for this handy pack. It is made from green bean, sugar, vegetable oil and wheat floor. Unlike its penang counterpart which has a pungent onion powder smell and taste(to me anyway), this has a mellowy sweet cooling taste. Also available is savoury bean cake, but i like this sweet version better.
Yong Sheng have branches in Muar(Johor), Melaka, Batu Pahat(Johor), Taman Sri Tebrau(Johor) and Kluang(Johor).

It is amazing how i can have energy to blog although i am very tired, somehow, everything just become so bearable and the existed obstacles become non-existent when it comes to food. Power of food over man, or me… haha…
Anyway, bought this San Francisco Coffee, you can get Buy 1 Free 1 deals on selected beverage. Currently it is only 2 choices: extreme mocha and extreme latte. Last time, they did offer extreme buzz, which is essentially addition of real coffee beans into the drink before blending it up.
This Buy 1 Free 1 deals in only available in San Francisco kiosk, not the normal San Fran Cafe shop, so far the only kiosk i am aware of is in Mid Valley Lower ground floor, near to KFC and escalator.
We chose Extreme latte
It taste so good on first sip, nice coffee aroma, but it becomes painfully sweet as we continue drinking and have to throw it away, unable to down the sweetness.

This is reputedly the best Tiramisu in town, RM13 per piece. It is heavily drenched in supposedly Cognac, diluted Cognac probably or else you could get drunk from it 😛 I still find the sponge is too soaked up. Nonetheless, the almond mix crunch added a nice touched to this classic.
Missing Tiramisu, with Meringue on the left, and Pavlova on the right, these 3 cakes are priced at RM13, the rest are priced at RM11.

Yum, one day i am gonna try the Banofee pie, which is on the leftmost in the middle row  😉

Bubba Gump Shrimps, The Curve

Been wanting to try this restaurant since reading bout it in Icecube’s and *::||Life of the Food Lovers||::*. Since The Curve is a shopping mall situated further from my house which i seldom go to, today finally went there to have lunch. And that also un-intended, because wanted to eat the banana leaves in Colonial Times which is so delicious, and also free flow rice, *heart* rice with dhal… and the price is reasonably cheap(for lunch time banana leaves only, ala carte can be quite expensive), but it was on renovation, so settle for backup plan – Bubba shrimps, which coincidently few doors away.
Bubba Gump Shrimps opened its first restaurant in 1996 on Monterey, California. Decorations in this restaurant is inspired by the movie Forest Gump, staring Tom Hanks.
Complimentary crackers while waiting for your orders. Sauces in the bucket: Lingham chili sauce, Heinz tomato sauce and gourmet vinegar.
Blueberry smoothie, RM10.90
blueberries, strawberry, and non-fat vanilla frozen yoghurt.
thick and yummy
Lotsa Lava, RM10.90
creamy coconut and sweet pineapple erupt with a strawberry flow.
Looks sweet but it is actually refreshing sourish
Cajun Shrimp, RM20.90
Sauteed in hot and spicy Cajun butter sauce. Served with garlic bread. Find the bread a bit stale and dry.
Bourbon Street Baramundi, RM29.90
Charbroiled cajun spiced baramundi with bourbon street sauce and shrimp, served over mashed potatoes.
Although i do find this dish slightly too salty, it is quite delicious, the fish is moist and easily flaked. Red potatoes are mashed skin on. Shrimps are fresh.
Bubba Gump is under NZ Diners (Damansara) Sdn Bhd
Lot 145, 1st Floor, Jalan PJU 7/3,
the Curve, Mutiara Damansara,
47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
