Jom Makan! Dark Cherry Cake @ Decanter Setiabakti, Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.

Assalamualaikum wbt,

This evening I had a meeting with a bunch of ladies at Decanter. Never heard of it because Bukit Damansara is not really my familiar vicinity, so this is my first time trying out the food they offer.  Apparently there are a few branches of this restaurant and this one is located at Jalan Setiabakti, Bukit Damansara hence it is called Decanter Setiabakti.

I was welcomed by a friendly waiter clad in the typical black and white uniform. It appears to me that Decanter reminds me of Hillside Corner, Bukit Antarabangsa as a neighbourhood restaurant/cafe that offers Western & Local delights except that Decanter presents a slightly more posh image with its interior decor and it also serves liquor.

Diners can choose to seat on the black chairs or orange booths which are both comfortable.

The Menu. "We try harder..." What a tagline. =)

Decanter here serves English breakfast sets such as Eggs Benedict, a variety of Omelette, Muffins, Scones, Sausages and Bacon together with Coffee at very reasonable prices where you can get the sets at RM 16.90 the highest. Others you may get them lower than that and for individual orders are below RM 10.

As for Malaysian and Asian delights mostly are below RM 15 and below RM 10.  Not to forget for Western lunch or dinner main courses from Steaks to Pasta are mostly below RM 30 or below RM 20. I opine the prices are reasonable and the food are good maybe from the number of customers they have for that day, and most of them,  I assume they are regular customers.


Since I ate a heavy lunch at the hospital, I just ordered drinks and shared a piece of cake with Kak Linda.

Kak Linda ordered Teh Tarik - RM 6.50

Mine was Lime Sour Sop Smoothie - RM 9

The taste was definitely refreshing, definitely filling.

Dark Cherry Cake - Missed the price but I think it was below RM 10
Huge portion. Very rich cherry taste. It was too strong for Kak Linda so I finished the most of it though she was the one who ordered this. I feel it tastes pretty ok since the taste was soften with the whipped cream. Presentation wise, I like. =)

Oh yes nice thing about Decanter, Senior Citizens above 60 years old get a 10% discount for eat-in food (not tapau) and non-alcoholic drinks. I laughed when I read that youthful looking seniors are asked to remind the staff about the discount. How witty, and flattering. =D

Ahh, saw this hung nearby the bathroom. A gift from the Children with Down Syndrome Foundation for Decanter. Perhaps Decanter did something charitable for them - Thank you for touching our hearts. Awwwww~ =)

So yes, insha Allah will come to Decanter again with my family to try their lunch or dinner even breakfast maybe. Friendly staff and service was fast too. =)

Thank you for reading!

XOXO,

Sue

Rakan IJN's 4th AGM @ Institut Jantung Negara, Jalan Tun Razak, KL (6th April 2010)

Salam,

Was being Rakan IJN's secretary for the first time for their meeting..and straight away with the Annual General Meeting. My sister Nana was voted and appointed as the Honorary Assistant Secretary. Although there were some suggestions that since she was leaving for Australia soon I should be appointed straight away, however Mr. Bala & the President were adamant to appoint her first due to her never-ending commitment to Rakan. True that! I was so happy for her. =)

Besides that has fun with the drama during the meeting and enjoyed the great food which was not very heart friendly hehe.

Sue tengah acah-acah best nampak macam busy.

Yay! A new notebook for my collection! Just love notebooks =)

Can you believe it? Nasi Bryani with fried chicken & mutton curry. Yes a healthy way indeed to take care of our hearts. =D

Kelab Mawarku Shah Alam Charity Dinner @ Kelab Selangor, Shah Alam, Selangor. (Friday, 5th March 2010)

Salam,

Tonight my family and I attended the Kelab Mawarku (My Rose Club) Charity Dinner, to support the President who is Ummi's youngest sister, Hajjah Roslin @ Aunty Lin. Kelab Mawarku is a club involved by women who are UMNO members in Shah Alam. We attended together with Aunty Lin's family.

Malam Sejambak Mawar .. Night of A Bouquet of Roses .. the theme for the night. Yup some young dancers performing Malay traditional dance.

My pretty sister Deena.

Our table. =)

See how fattened up I was (was or still is??) in this photo..yuck! (but still eating like a monster later).

The crowd, mostly the family members of the members, giving support to their wives and mothers.

My aunty giving the President's speech. Hey somebody please remove the bouquet of flowers in front of her!!

Ahhh now that's better... =) Hahaha seriously it was hillarious before it was removed because it was like listening to someone's voice on radio or something.

Kelab Mawarku launched their charity fund to help the less fortunate especially single mothers.

Nom Nom time!!! Mak Long's hand initiated our dining session. Awesome food prepared by Kelab Selangor. =)

Now it's the fashion show time. The emcee, a Dato' (a male Dato') who really acted like a double to Aznil Haji Nawawi coached the performance for the night, including the dance performances to the fashion show. The collection here comes from his bridal boutique.

The collection showed the different traditional costumes of Malay women from different states. The designs were nice, but we thought that the colours could be better, like this one above looked like it came from the 80's. Ummi said she loved all the clothes, so that convinced our hunch that they really made for the 80's.

Ok SERIOUSLY the fashion show took a long time (since it was sponsored) and Nana & I could not remember how many times we went to the restroom just to kill time..

Yes finally they wrapped the fashion show!

Now it's time for some musical entertainment (and this is not including the ever continuos singing from the emcee, really he really took advantage of 'entertaining' us with his non-stop singing). Luckily there was a pro singer, with a wonderful voice of course, Sarah Raisuddin. =)

She performed Big Spender as well as other 2 songs. I forgot whether she sang any of her hit tunes but for me, any singer must sing their own songs because the fans love them for their songs. Then we won some lucky draw stuff (which is very rare for us to win) and it was a good, family night for us. =)

Rakan IJN's Chinese New Year Donation @ Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) (Saturday, 6th February 2010)

Salam,

As some of you may already have known my sister is the earlier member of Rakan IJN, so in this post I will highlight on day when Rakan IJN was busy giving out donations to the patients in the spirit of Chinese New Year. So let's join them. =)

The Friends of IJN are busy packing boxes with Mandarin Oranges and gifts for the patients.

In front of the Rakan IJN office at Level 3, IJN.

The gift trolley being decorated nicely. =)

My sister Deena beaming together with the Honorary Secretary Mr. Bala & our President, Raja Datin Seri Zuraida, all prepared to visit the heart patients.
