1. Iron House cafe Food are yummy, did try their curry pork nasi lemak as well which is large portion and yummy 2. More Yogurt. Not bad, can try, but still prefer Yoomi in midvalley which has more sourish yogurt taste

we had a few staycation on end of 2023. Amari hotel location is not bad, can walk to Gardens Mall/midvalley. Gardens Hotel and Boulevard would be my choice if it weren’t for my company got corporate rate for Amari (around RM400 all inclusive of taxes). Those other 2 hotel would b more convenient, as the Amari hotel walking distance is a bit far.

the thing I like about Amari is their buffet, with a few nice fresh fruit juices with can be rare for rm400-ish hotel. Pastries are nice and choice abundant

Above is breakfast before we checked into Amari. We had breakfast in Antipodean misvalley. So yummy and portion huge, their mushroom soup below very yummy as well 

One thing I dislike is the hotel view we gotten is quite bad, all block by residential tower

Tapao from Alexis, very yummy!! Piping hot as well. Price is expensive but very yumm

I recently had baby delivery in Putrajaya Hospital FPP (full paying customer) program whereby it is government hospital, but by paying a reasonably cheap amount, you get to have baby delivered via specialist doctor of your choice in the hospital. In Putrajaya, there is only 3 doctor you can choose: Dr Hazim(head of dept), Dr Azim and a Malay lady doctor. I went on a Friday afternoon when they have a session for all who want to join this program to book your doctor and to be brief on the charges etc. I went to Friday session not knowing which doctor are avail for choosing nor which doctor I want. At the end, i chose Dr Hazim solely cos overhearing ppl attending the Friday session say Dr Azim like to propose Caesarean.

They did proposed caesarean due to my age(close to 40) and also cause not have baby for long time after married(maybe >2-3 years consider long for them?). Anyway I request to try vaginal birth due to I not have any health issue(gestational diabetes etc) but only my advancing age, and thank God bb come out 8hours after induced, which is really fast I think for first bb.

Total delivery fee for vaginal birthday(with vacuum) with 2 night stay, ie 1 day prior delivery and 1 day post delivery: 3k.

My bb did stayed in special care nursery (SCN) for 5 days after birth due to some issue and had to be administered 5 days antibiotics, and that is under government, not FPP, for only <RM100. The SCN is very well equip, clean and pleasant environment, they are many baby inside, maybe ~ 30+ visiting permit for either mother or father at a time at visiting hours(afternoon/dinner time).

Overall, my experience is not bad, one of the reason I go putrajaya for delivery is due to many good comments on FPP program, and don’t have to be “slaughtered” in private due to my age la… BLA BLA…  😀

The wait for room to stay on day prior to induction/labour is quite long and tiring, we went very early morning and can’t recall but I think 3/4pm only gotten a room. I bought a lot for eating from their canteen while waiting for them in hospital for their callback once room available, prob ate lots due to tired, suspect I gain 2 kg from eating that day lol… My weight on delivery day was 84kg, weight before pregnant was 64kg. Now 74kg with bb is 11 months. Still fat

They is a visiting hours. My hub stayed with me (after delivery) as managed to get the more expensive room(~RM300). Prior to delivery, have to stay my own as not able to get the executive room. I was alone in 3 bedded room, nice not have to share, but the room is freezing and no way to lower the Aircon as it is centralized air con

Simple food provided on morning before induced at 8am. Just enough cos my mum tapao chee cheong fun, which I later ate, but puke out, due to very uncomfortable contraction after induced.

i have tried a few recipe, and below yield satisfactory yummy cheesecake

Basque cheesecake, 7″ round, very nice, based on foodandwine.com version of the recipe, nice goey centre which still hold its shape

500g cream cheese

120g sugar (ori recipe used 163g)

2.9 large eggs + half egg yolk, I used 163g-168g egg liquid(slightly more than 3 egg)

235g heavy whipping cream(tried ok 145g+40g milk)

1 TBSP + 1 tsp (11g) cake flour

half teaspoon vanilla extract

1. scrunch baking paper into ball, then only fit into baking pan

2. Use spatula to mix cream cheese+sugar+flour, so that sugar don’t fly all over later. Must mix flour at this stage, hard to be mixed later

3. Mix in egg with hand mixer, then mix in cream with spatula(to prevent air bubble)

4. b4 baking, tap on counter to remove air

5. Bake in the TOP tier of oven, 230C 30min till side is just set and centre in “”jiggly””. Bake 30 minute

Note:

• No need salt, adding salt sometimes too salty, cos normally cheese already got some salty taste

• Remember bake in TOP rack of the oven to get that burnt look. I forgot once and so hard to achieve that burnt caramel look and ar the end bake it a bit too long causing inside don’t have goey centre
• normal flour is fine, no need pastry flour cos using so little
• my recipe is scaled down for 7″ inch round pan, cos it is just hub and I eating, this cake pan portion can make 5-6 very good sized cake slice
• tried 100g sugar is not sweet enough. I don’t like too sweet stuff, but this cake does need some sweetness, I used 120g sugar(scaled down from original 160g) whichtaste just nice, not too sweet

above scrunch up the baking paper and pulling it apart so the pate reach every book of the baking pan

Above is mixing cream cheese with sugar and flour using spatula, no mixer please unless you want flour and sugar all over your counter top. This step is game changer for me, sugar no longer fly everywhere

above is cream cheese + sugar + flour + vanilla all mixed well, ie flour and sugar no longer will fly 😀 you can then use hand mixer to mix it more well blendes

add in egg and mix well using hand mixer

i like to use spatula to just mix in the heavy cream, no need mixer

I

Pour into mould, and tap it as much as you can to remove air bubble

bake for 30 minutes in highest temperature for your oven, I think my Breville oven is 220C. Remember bake on TOP rack

cakey side with goey centre. You need that contrast for the tastiest basque cheesecake. Made this multiple times. Tatura cream cheese works well, I tried Bakewith yen Conapole cream cheese not so nice.

i tried some of below recipe, and some comment I have as below. Basically first and 4th recipe not nice, 2nd & 3rd recipe not yet tried

Recipe 1:

NotGoodhttps://norecipes.com/burnt-basque-cheesecake/ used conapole cream cheese, lots of creamy centre due to high whipped cream content. Nice if you like very creamy throughout, prefer foodandwine cakey side and creamy centre
350 grams cream cheese (cold)
154g sugar, try 120g
3 large eggs (cold), 147g
370g heavy cream
23g cake flour
0.8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe 2:
*https://www.spatuladesserts.com/easy-basque-burnt-cheesecake-recipe/, tried, ok only as flour not mixed well, need try again
500g cream cheese
167g sugar, try 120g, I used 110g, sweet enough
3.3 Eggs room temp, 162g
250g Heavy Cream room temp, 36% fat. I used 170g cream + 80g milk
25g Pastry flour

Recipe 3:
*https://cookieandkate.com/basque-cheesecake-recipe/
500g cream cheese, at room temp
83g to 165g sugar, try 120g
3.3 large eggs, 162g
265g heavy cream, divided
0.55 teaspoon vanilla extract
16g cake flour (1.9 TBSP)
0.25 teaspoon fine salt 

Recipe 4:
NotGoodKAF basque cheese cake, 30min, more goeey centre than foodandwine, prefer foodandwine’s recipe which has more structure on the side prob due to flour. I am less fan of this recipe without flour
500g cream cheese, sub some with butter if not enough cheese
146g granulated sugar(lower already among many recipe, tried 100g not sweet, try 120)
183g (~3-4 large eggs)
125g heavy cream
(optional) half tsp vanilla/vanilla bean
(optional)0.25 tsp salt, 0.4 tsp too salty

Room size is 33m3/355 sqf feels much much more smaller than Alila at 38m3/409 sqf.

If we are to stay in this hotel next time, will opt for bigger room size

Their breakfast are quite good, los of variety and yummy(nasi lemak, hash brown, chesses, pain au chocolate etc). Only thing is no fresh fruit juice avail

We ordered Alexis for dinner via beepit. Their siam meehoon is surprisingly very big portion and tasty. And also surprisingly the food arrived piping hot
