Italiannies, 1-Utama

Initially i planned to follow Seafield toll, passby Sunway to go Damansara, because i more familiar with that route. But Dr. Ong taught me another way which he said better and faster, using Damansara toll. I followed his direction and managed to reach Damansara Uptown, our office area. But i missed out the left turn and overpassed the flyover and reached Eastin Hotel. Then we made a U-turn and Nee managed to bring us to 1-U subsequently.

We round 2-3 floors of the car park many times but not managed to get a parking lot. Damn sien. Entered the parking bay at old wing, but parked at new wing pulak.

Then we started our shopping. Hopping from one shop to another. We spent quite some time at Colors. Me and May Lian managed to bought one blouse from colors and Nee bought a colorful skirt. hehe… I start to like COLORS.

Another shop that we spent much time is Padini Concept Store. Crazy aren’t we? Melaka also has Padini Concept Store at Dataran Pahlawan and yet we still can shop like crazy at 1-U. I bought one shorts and one cute kiddy handbag from PDI. Why? Because May Lian has staff purchase which entitled us to get 40% discount! So, why not take this opportunity to buy leh? So, you understand why we bought so much here. hahaha…

At around 2-3pm something, we were hunting for good food. Finally we decided to have Italiannies. We really do not know where it is located although we did passby before that. But i tell you, 1-U is really superb. They do have an electronic touch map on the screen. You can easily find your desire restaurant/shop easily.

Here we go….our lunch at Italiannies.
Don’t know what oil is that. First time stepped in to Italian restaurant. Like very “sua gu” like that.

Complimentary. Garlic bread and don’t know what bread. Served with don’t know what oil again. Feeling weird. Three of us did not touch a single and returned back to them, say not to waste. hahaha…Actually we returned because we have ordered more than enough, worried that could not finish our meals later on.
Classic Pizza. We were a bit shocked when the pizza served to us, because it was too big, and we started to worry if we could finish it. Okay, basically the pizza is not bad. Full with toppings and cheeses. Salmon Fettucine. The waiter added the cheeses on top when he served us this. The cheesy quite strong for those who don’t like cheese. But i simply love this. Both Classic Pizza and Salmon Fettucine. We not managed to finish the pizza. Left two slices. Initially we did order a slice of cake, which the pic looks so tempting. But luckily, the waiter told us that the cake was sold out. haha…Me and Nee at Italiannies.May Lian, me and Nee….

After that, we continue our shopping spree again. Until around 6pm something, three of us really felt tired of walking, May Lian kept asking for Starbucks coffee. We really walked up and down looking for Starbucks. 1-U is too big!!!! Finally we managed to find one of the Starbucks at old wing (near Jusco).
Damn relaxing, having Frapuccino and sitting down chit chatting, while letting my legs resting awhile. But we were the group who left Starbucks within half to one hour time. The rest of people can sit there for hours, because of what? They just utilising their wi-fi. We did not have our dinner because we had late and full lunch that day. But Nee bought the deep fried spicy chicken chop from Shihlin Taiwan Snack.
Went back home at about 9pm. Initially we wanted to follow Damansara toll back to Melaka. But Nee missed out the turn. So, follow the most safest way back, Sunway route, follow Seafield. Hehe..The place i most familiar with. :-P
We reached Melaka at about 11.15pm and i reached home at 11.45pm.

Dim Sum at Taman Merdeka

Me, May Lian and Nee had a wonderful and happy shopping day on May 31, 2008. Maybe i got my new lovely Myvi dy, so i keep wanting to drive around go somewhere. So i suggested to go shopping in KL once we get our pay. I just went to Pyramid with hubby two weeks ago, and me and May Lian not feeling to go Mid Valley either. So i suggested to go One Utama. Yooohooo…..so happy~~~~

So i drove my Myvi and picked May Lian and then Nee. Then we had our dim sum breakfast at Taman Merdeka. It is quite new dim sum teahouse which quite eye-catching due to the exterior design and two shop lots joined togather (one with air-con and one without air-con).
Three of us were in happy and joyable mood, acting like rich girl/ladies going for nice breakfast, shopping, tea and so on.
These were what we ordered….

Prawn siew mai. Sick of having pork siew mai. This is the substitute. hehehe… My favourite steamed pork spareribs. But the steamed pork spareribs here not nice, although it is quite big portion.
I do not know what this dim sum called. Being deep fried and wrapped with seaweed, topped with sesame with prawn filling.

Xiao long bao, direct translation called small little dragon. hahaha… Still cannot beat Dragon-i one. Two little cha siu bao for May Lian and Nee.
Fried carrot cake. I quite like it because it serves with lots of beansprouts, which May Lian thought it was a bit excessive.
Seriously, i also do not know what this called. And i did not take this. (._.”’)They told me this is called “jien dui”. “tou sa” fillings, which i don’t like. Noticed that i don’t take fried dim sum. hehe…
The bill. Hard printed order slip. Which the waiter/waitress will tick the dim sum’s price you take everytime he/she serves you. Our breakfast costs us RM27.
After the breakfast, we happily continue our journey up to KL. Yoooohooooo~~~
