Bunny eats at Zuup, 1 Utama

This was my 1st working Saturday of which Hunny was in 1U to shoot fashion show and I came later after work to join him. Hunny wasn't hungry so I went around looking for food. I came upon Zuup and decided to go in after reading rave reviews from bloggers such as babeinkl.


I had one of their all day set that came with a bowl of soup (Starter Size) and wedges at RM9.90 (RM10.90 nett). I ordered the Scotch Broth which consisted of yummy broth cooked with tender lamb meat, carrots, barley and some herbs. It was so hearty and totally comforting.


The wedges were delicious too! Fried to golden brown perfection with a crisp skin and super melt in mouth tenderness of the potatos inside.


Truly worth the visit to this special Zuup Cafe. I can't wait to try out the other soups on the menu too~~

Bunny visits Secret Garden @ 1 Utama

I got sunburnt last Sunday walking around in 1 Utama. Impossible? 1U is all covered...how could I have gotten sunburnt? Read on to find out...

Did you know that there are 2 secret gardens in 1 Utama's new wing? One is the Secret Garden Cafe by Voir Gallery and another is the rooftop garden. Last weekend, I accompanied Hunny to 1 U so that he could get his bi-yearly fix of fashion show photography. As we were registering at the Customer Service Counter, we saw the public getting a card and it turned out to be the latest happening spot in 1U, the Secret Garden!

Hunny got me a pass and on the card, it stated 10am till 1am meaning that each person is only allowed to be in that Secret Garden for an hour which is the time stated on the card. I took the lift (same lift as going to the karaoke and rock climbing, I think) to level UR. This is what the entrance looked like...


After registering with the guard at the counter, I proceeded inside. It was a pleasant surprise to see a thriving garden with many trees, leafy and floral plants, creeping vines and cactuses at this rooftop garden.


Here are some of my favourite shots. The sun was really hot by the time I got up and there were many over hanging water sprays to keep the plants moist and hydrated.











Here are some of my not too good shots...I must really learn how to shoot these at better angles...



This one was nice but alas...it had 2 spots of water on it...I must have passed through one of the water sprays and gotten my lens wet... :(

I will come here again when I have the chance to go 1U but I would love to try it on a cloudy morning or the 5pm to 6pm session. This Secret Garden is opened only on weekends from 10am to 6pm. Limited passes can be collected free of charge at 1U (New Wing) Customer Service Counter. The pass will only enable you to enjoy the garden based on the time stated on it. Do bring along a hat and put on sunblock as it can get really hot and sunny in the garden. You don't to end up getting sunburnt like me!

Chao Yen at 1U New Wing

Hunny and I went to this pricey establishment located at 1U's new wing where Giant Hypermarket used to be. This restaurant serves teochew cuisine and serves alot of dishes be it ala carte or individual meals.

1. Hunny's Pork Intestine White Pepper Soup with Mee Suah. RM17.90



2. My Teochew porridge with scallops, dried oyster, vege and pork meat balls. This type of porridge is different from the cantonese style of cooking as it's like rice with soup. Cantonese styled porridge is rice that has been boiled for a few hours till it breaks down. The bowl came was very big..recommended for 2 person to share so that you can try more dishes. RM19.90



3. See my bowl of yummy goodness...clear and not oily at all. Sweet soup stock. Very hearty and tummy warming.






4. Yummy cold platter...with meat encased in gelatin, stewed pig ears and jellyfish marinated with sesame oil. Very Yummy! I love the gelatinuous bits with melt in mouth texture that bore traces of fermented beancurd (fu-yee in cantonese). Much better than Dragon-i's version. This is my 1st time eating pig's ear and it's so yummy. Tender yet crunchy.



5. So yummy the sesame oil infused jellyfish strips. Crunchy and delicious.





The total bill came up to RM76.00 for the 2 of us. Pricey. We will reserve this restaurant for future occasional treats.

Breakfast at O`Briens

Last Weekend, Hunny and I ate at O`Briens and it cost him close to a whopping RM55!!!

Here is what we had...

1. Mocha with a shamrock design...




2. I had a pot of soothing Earl Grey Tea




3. This is my shambo combi which was all veges and I added chicken that cost us an additional RM3.00...don't like this bread as I found it dry and not chewy...I'll go back to my fav wrappo the next time we eat here...




4. Hunny's fav triple decker chicken sandwich...chockful of veges and meat and turkey bacon...




5. Hunny bit this into a house shape...is it a sign that we have to buy a new house soon??



The reason y we eat in O`Briens is bec of the fresh ingredients and they don't stinge on the ingredients to make a wholesome sandwich...
Last weekend, Hunny and I ate at O'Briens...a whopping RM60 bfast for just the 2 of us...
