Weee… and you would just wonder how people are willing to drive all the way up to Genting just for a drink. See, I used to think that restaurants and coffee place in Genting are just for tourist. But I guess I grew up to finally know there are many people like myself who is willing to go all the way for food and of course the cold breeze.

As usual, Coffee Bean or Starbucks is the definate stop by place. Ah… me and my dear dear decided to go to Coffee Bean for a tall glass of Hot Chocolate cause we really didn’t wanna have coffee overload syndrom. Yes, I get head and heart aches if I do.

This time, we also ordered something to munch. Yeap, I eat way too much these days. Deon decided to go for something savoury. He ordered the Spicy Chicken Pie. It actually tasted quite yummie maybe cause I love onions and potatoes. Yes, you have plenty of it.. plus the flaky crust. Mmmm… it really is a light munch and much trusted that it isn’t really that filling. Just ideal for my supper time!

As for me… I can’t help but to choose one muffin from their many choices. As usual, it took me a while as each and everyone seems to be screaming “PICK ME UP”. As I am a berry person, I finally decided to pick my old faithful Blueberry Muffin. I’m impressed as the muffin is much softer than it outer looks. Woo la la… the muffin is really filled with loads of blueberry. Yeay… now I really have a good supper.

Time to go and just sleep all the way back to my home sweet home.

Muahaha… Everybody loves McDonald’s. So do I… now even more when they actually sell HotCakes for breakfast.

It’s been quite a while since they sold it but only at selected McDonald’s. Mmm… the breakfast set includes 2 piece of hotcake, a box of syrup and 2 piece of butter.

Woohoo.. I love how the hotcakes absorb the syrup and melted butter. It really makes it taste good. Of course, if the hotcakes were warmer, that would be better.

It didn’t really taste absolutely great but good enough to put a smile on my face on the early morning!

Woo… well, just when I thought I could resist capsule toys, they just would have to come out with more. This time… the Fukoumori capsule toy got me going goo goo gaa gaa. It’s so funny to know that I’m actually HAPPY to get the Unhappy doll. Coz yeap… I like pink.

Pink is cute… yeay… I am happy to have Unhappy! Now that is confusing

I’ve got another one. Guess which one I had?

Get Smart official site: http://getsmartmovie.warnerbros.com/

Haha… I can’t stop laughing when watching this show. Yup, a pure comedy, which I am really in need of.  Steve Carell definately step up to the role as geeky like analyist who dreams of be coming a secret agent. Anne Hathaway… hemm… something’s not really right about her. Just doesn’t think she fits the profile no matter how the storyline tells it. But seriously, that Japanese guy from the series “Heroes” definately steal the limelight of the show.

The Happening official site: http://www.thehappeningmovie.com/

M. Night Shyamalan and Mark Wahlberg, what can I say… I love both M’s. The best part, the poster is good enough to get me curious and wondering what this is all about. But I must admit, it really does have a cheesy tagline which they sorta compile from all M. night Shyamalan movies. I love M. Night Shyamalan movies because he really does tell a weird version of stories. Some we might not even think of and of course, most his movie carries this subtle message of everything happens for a reason. Best of all, there are scientific explanations to the supernatural activites and yet, there are room for you to wonder and think otherwise. Yes, of course you will see M. Night Shyamalan in the movie. He is after all the person who writes, directs and produces the movie.

The Incredible Hulk official site: http://incrediblehulk.marvel.com/

I didn’t actually see the first part cause I just never have faith in Ang Lee. Not that he is a bad director… but Marvel Comic and Ang Lee, they just don’t click at all. So yes, it proves my thinking right and it was a flop. Hence this time the new Incredible Hulk movie. The trailer sorta impress me but well, the movie. Haha… it really reminds me a lot about King Kong. How the Hulk swing around… how Liv Tyler actually tries to talk and calm the Hulk, how the Hulk tries to protect the girl. Yawn…. it’s almost like a remake of King Kong too… just replacing the main characters. Yes, it was action packed enough to wow everyone but for me… something just isn’t right and of course the storyline is quite bad. Now I understand why the movie promo uses Tony Stark (Iron Man) cameo appearance in the movie as a highlight.

Kung Fu Panda official site: http://www.kungfupanda.com/

Awww… my favourite panda! How can I actually miss this out. Yes, welcome to the Chinese martial art world. The skills, the techniques… ah, I am really impressed with their research. Really! From the smallest details of how to hold a chopstick to the chinese cultures. Of course shows like this have a predictable ending, nevertheless… I think it is a movie that can make you laugh while appreciating the chinese culture. Hip Hip Panda!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crytal Skull official site: http://www.indianajones.com/

When I was young, I used to think Dr. Jones is cool! Seriously, it is one of the movie I enjoyed the most cause it is really adventerous and fun. The latest fourth installment of the Indiana Jones adventure proves that good things should just be left it at it’s best. I have no idea what has gotten in to Steven Spielberg in this recent 10 years. And I could never believe how he have the heart to kill the Adventure King by ending it and mixing it all up with some UFO or alien stuff. It really is a big disappointment for me cause I really hate movies that when they are in the midst of not knowing to end the movie, they just bring in the aliens and it really is just an easy way out. But one thing, I really admire how they could still maintain the old and grainy feel from the past.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age official site: http://www.elizabeththegoldenage.net/

Cate Blanchet… Clive Oven… ah… both powerful actors and definately my favourite actors. Not to mention acting in one of my favourite movie genre. I love to see movies that is based on real history. This time around, a movie about Queen Elizbeth I. The powerful trailer, the gorgeous costumes… ah nice settings. It is really interesting in how everyone have to be just very careful in their strategy planning. One can never know who will win in the end. It is definately interesting but yeap, one could also snore if history isn’t their favourite subject.

We Own the Night official site: http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/weownthenight/

Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix and the sexy Eva Mendes in an interesting cop and smuggler world. Yes, it is really interesting to see especially when one family where you have the cop and the other family member which is in the opposite side. When both comes face to face, what will happen? It’s ironic how things could turn up and what humans could sacrifice to protect their own family.

Playboy Cops official site: -

Wow… yet another Hong Kong movie which stars Shawn Yue. Yes, of course he is the main attraction, taking up a role of an un-popular  handsome and rich cop. He hates loosing and when he finds out his girlfriend broke up with him and was with another new cop… he goes crazy and tries to get her back. Of course in between, there is a serious case.. which wakes him up and teaches him a lesson he could never forget.

Simply Actor official site: -

Okay… another one of those Hong Kong comedy which hem…. bores me. Maybe because I didn’t like the male lead actor. He annoys me at times. Okay… to be honest, most of the time in this movie. It is somewhat funny, especially knowing the fact that the Hong Kong Police force wants their undercover police to have a better acting skills so that their identity is safer. As for Charlene.. hemm…. I don’t know, I just think the character doesn’t really fit her. She trying hard to be like a girl from China… I don’t know, she is just trying too hard… I think.

P2 official site: http://www.p2themovie.com/

For a while, I am scared to go to the carpark alone. It is really scary… knowing that psycho can be employed as security guards. Not to mention, they just spy and peek and just stare at you. When the suddenly decides to attack… it’s like the biggest nightmare ever! I think it is a little B grade but hell, it does give me a good scare especially the part where the psycho actually beat the crap out of the guy who previously harrested the girl. Definately not a good watch if you are alone.

No Reservations official site: http://noreservationsmovie.warnerbros.com/

Romantic comedy that happens in the kitchen. Haha… lovely! Love and food seriously a great combination. It’s like watching Ratatoulie… of course the lead is now the hot Catherine Zeta Jones. Watching this shows makes me hungry and yes, think about career vs. relationship. Which one weigh more? Both maybe?

Forest of Death official site: http://movie.sina.com.hk/movie/forestofdeath/

What interest me to watch this movie? My friend Gigi told me it is based on some true stories. So yes, I can tell her now that the things she told me is not right and no… it is not even similar. In fact, this movie tells tale about how a reporter trying to resolve the mystery of the forest and what people who tries to commit suicide in the forest sees. Yes, many claim that they saw ghost. Ekin Cheng plays the role as the reporter’s boyfriend who thinks otherwise. He is a biologist who believes plants have their own feeling and thinking too… and he have been trying to communicate with them. So will his research ever help to uncover the forest mystery?

C+ Detective official site: http://hk.promo.yahoo.com/movie/detective/

A detective movie lead by Aaron Kwok that was shot in Thailand. I think it is really cool movie. I must say, it really is one of Aaron Kwok movies (based on what I have seen). A series of unfortune events happen after one drunk guy mysteriously asked Aaron Kwok to investigate on a missing woman. It seems everyone close to her died in a tragic yet mysterious ways. I like the cinematography and the treatment of the movie. It really does help enriched the movie.

Taste Review:
Packaging Review:

It’s way after Easter, but I must really say, Easter Day chocolates are great! Too bad over here in Malaysia, we don’t really celebrate such occasion. Hence, we don’t really get much Easter chocolates. As for this  Wonka Caramelicious, Nicole got it for me from Australia.

This chocolate is actually a product from Nestle. I love the packaging. The colours are so retro, so circus like and attractive. Topped with a purple hat and logo. Haha… I totally fall in love with the “Caramelicious” font type. But I must really say… the stars doesn’t really do well with me.

As stated on the cover of the box, this packaging comes with a Milk Chocolate Egg and 4 Mini Eggs filled with Gooey Caramel.  The Milk Chocolate Egg is pretty big. I think 6 to 7 of the mini eggs can make up to the size of the milk chocolate. Unlike the mini eggs, the milk chocolate is hollow. So yeap, it isn’t that sweet or filling.

As for the Mini Eggs filled with Gooey Caramel. I must give credit to the Food Designer cause the actualy product doesn’t have that caramel flowing out from the chocolate. In fact, the caramel are rather little and it’s pretty hard. I am pretty disappointed with portion of the caramel. I really love caramel! Sigh… so yes, I didn’t really have the caramel satisfaction from eating this 4 mini eggs for sure!

It’s a shame how something so beautiful only appear after the rain. I hate the rain, but I love the rainbow.

SS2 is really a food heaven. You get to eat like practically anything you crave for. From local cruisine to Taiwanese food to Hong Kong Char Chan Teng up to Korean Food, Japanese food and not to mention western food. Greenwood Cafe actually serves both local and western food. The signage of the cafe didn’t actually score for my first impression but the clean and comfortable environment manage to lure me in to the shop.

My darling ordered an Iced Chocolate (RM5.00). I would have to say it doesn’t really quite did the job for satisfying any chocoholic cravings. Not to mention I think it barely worth that much. I does seems like loads of milk with just a little dash of chocolate sauce.

For his main, my dear ordered the Spagetti Cabonara (RM14.00). It tasted okay, except for the fact that it is a little too wet and buttery. I love how they use loads of small beef bacon bits. Haha… I don’t have to chew that much! Aha… and yes… loads of button mushroom to my delight. Still, I think it is a little over priced for it’s standard.

I must say, I love most is their Red Tomato Soup (RM5.00). Maybe because I love sour soup. It really have this rich and creamy taste. I must really agree the tomato taste is really strong. I finish the bowl of soup in less than no time. Hehe.. my baby don’t really like sour stuff, hence… the supposed idea of sharing ended up with me having the whole bowl to myself. *evil smile*

Okay… as for me, I actually orderd the Dinner Set which consist of a Pocket Beef Steak and a glass of Coke (RM18.00). It got me waiting for like maybe 30mins. No kidding… my dear finish his spagetti already when my dish came. It tasted great! It have cheese and bacon stuffed at the center. I love how they didn’t overly cook my steak. I would say this set is worth the price I’m paying for and yes, it does fill my tummy! *burp*
