Good Vibes Fest's grab-a-bite@Sepang circuit

Sunnies, check.

Comfy clothes, check.

The day had finally come. Smashing pumpkins! PULLS HAIR. SCREAMS OBSESSIVELY.

After coming to a near 20 year wait, SP finally made its way to Malaysia. Although James Iha, Darcy, Jimmy were no longer present, having Billy at frontline jammin' to all the songs which inspired me to pick up playing guitar just seemed unbelievable.

Until today I remember ,"1979". First song I learned from the 6 string acoustic.

The weather was also great that day, sunny yet windy and good to know the crowd as not too big till you feel suffocated. Whee! Having them to end the fest with a non-stop 1.5 hours of wicked electronica music, billy's bad ass performance on stage, and the drummer's adrenaline rush hits on the drum set made every penny paid for worth my while.

The event was rather well organized, I was expecting more mess actually. The temporary toilets were aplenty and clean and ample food for sale.

I bought the sandwich for RM 15 from Yay, Sammich!. Being a spicy lover, I thought my sandwich was spicy sauce chicken sandwich which turned out to be kimchi chicken instead. Bread was too hard to chew and fillings were much less than how it looked outwardly. Oh well... my expectations were not high to begin with when it comes to food served at a music fest.

P/S: an uninformed shot of my friend, Joe, my rock buddy, who was stressing out while eating his free Artisan popsicle, when two sexy chics came over to sell him ciggies. DARN FUNNY sight! Relax... bro relaxx....lol

Second dimsum visit@Imperial Pot, Publika Solaris Dutamas

I was filled with excitement while driving to Publika. It is Imperial Pot second visit day! The objective was to try the other dimsums they have to offer and see how they can impress me further.

The yellow skin wrapped meat dumplings were steamed with soy sauce and ginger slices. The meat tasted really fresh and the hint of ginger gave a kick at the end of the palate. Although it looked differently outwardly, somehow rather it resembled the taste of a xiao lang bao. Good effort!

The scallop topped "har-kau"s did not really impress me. Somehow the taste of the scallops weren't obvious if I closed my eyes and ate them I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two.

The black inked skin wrapped "har kau"s were not impressive either. The skins were hardened yet chewy and taste wise did not differ from the original ones too. Other than these points, the prawns of course, were fresh. Thankfully.

The prawn wrapped with fried thread-thin rice noodles and pink chee cheong fun was yummy! Put aside the fact that it was an oily dish considering all items were fried. The great thing was that they were freshly fried hence the crunchy crumbly bits falling off upon each bite. Bad for the arteries! But good for miss foodventuras!

All in all.. I still had a great time having my dim sum brunch here at Imperial Pot mostly thanks to these steal deal pan fried paos with meat fillings, coated with deep fried shallots and oil for only RM 6. Onions are my weakness and deep fried burnt onions.....my legs turn wobbly. Yums!

Third visit..coming right up!

Baked cheese cake@Komugi, Paradigm Mall

The recent rave and dessert craze in Klang Valley, Komugi bakery, Jap origin.

I must say the decor of the bakery, the signages, and the display of their daily bakes do make you want to try every single item, I refrained from listening to my evil gluttony voice and decided to try out their signature seller, the baked hanjuku cheese cake.

From the enlarged displayed image on the poster to holding this wrapped piece of cake on my hand.... wow. Major difference.

Each piece cost RM 3.50.

Gone in 2 controlled mouthfuls. @_@ (could have gone in 1!)

I gotta say the cheesecake was definitely much smoother and softer than most cheesecakes in town, but after eating the cake in Cheesecake factory, that became the benchmark.

Will get the rest of their bestsellers a try on my next visit here.

P/S: I found them being really thoughtful to give tiny pamphlets that teach you how to heat up your tapao-ed bread properly to enjoy them optimally.
