Came back here with the fam!
Finally tried their nasi lemak siakap. Fish was so perfectly fried. Sambal was nice, sweet ish but not too sweet. Loved their skewers too, especially the satay and mushrooms. Washed it all down with a horlicks milk tea, but I wished I asked for it to be less sweet. Definitely coming back!

Ordered more sashimi to maximise the value of our buffet 😜 edamame was good snacking, loved the desserts as well, especially the sesame ice cream and konyaku jelly. Definitely wanna come back!

My first time having the made to order buffet at Mitasu! (Part 1)
Came here with Aida, Aidleen and Farrah for lunch today. Everything was so good. Sashimi were fresh, the grilled butteryaki beef and lamb were excellent, so were the scallops. Fried stuff was on point. We ordered so many different things this needs to be done across multiple posts. Highly recommended!

The socializing and bingeing begins.
My waistline will *not* be thanking me for this 😂 Met up with @mervlee and @azuanyazdani for dinner last night at Chica Bonita. I had the pescado on soft taco and pato on crispy taco. So darn good. Tried a bit of Merv’s birria quesadilla which were the absolute bomb, even more so when topped with the accompanying sauce 🤤. Ordered calamari, jalapeño poppers, chicken wings and dirty fries for sharing, however they were surprisingly meh. Had a virgin peach frozen margarita, which went so well with all the heaty food (lingering dry cough be darned). Somehow still managed to squeeze in some biscoff cheesecake icecream from Inside Scoop, which was super yummy. Was nice catching up with these two, missing the rest. Until next time!

Drinks and snacks with my bandmates.
Missing @azliaw and @alongborneo. Was really nice seeing the boys again. A few hours passed by so quickly. Took a smiley photo and one serious one in case we need it for some music video 😆
My first time checking out this place. They have a huge assortment of skewers (MYR 1.19 each!), which they will deep fry for you either with regular or spicy seasoning. Choose from I think 10, 12 different types of sauces and dips. Gomeh also ordered their nasi lemak ikan siakap, which not only looked amazing, but at MYR14.90 a set is insanely good value. Unfortunately I already had dinner before coming here, else I would have ordered one for myself. In restrospect I should’ve ordered a couple of sets to go 😆 Definitely wanna come back!

Post dimsum dinner dessert!
Six of us shared 3 bingsu, all of which were great. Mango was my favorite, but the blueberry cheesecake and smores nutella were super strong contenders.
I so missed our makan sessions!

So rare for us to come out to this side of town. Nelayan Kitchen was so yum!
Came here with Faizal and mama. We ordered a set for 3 people. Sambal sotong, ulam and sambal belacan, pappadom, fried lamb, fried chicken, kailan ikan masin, patin masak tempoyak, with sago gula melaka for dessert. Everything was so good. If I were to nitpick, the lamb was slightly tough, but flavor was good. Everything else was so well executed, down to the humble sambal belacan. Yum!

Went to Ayame Ramen for lunch last Friday!
Really loving the Ladies’ Set they offer on weekdays, great if you want variety but don’t wanna overstuff yourself. A mini bowl of ramen of your choice, karaage, and gyoza. Drinks not included.
I always get their foam rich ramen, so darn tasty. Karaage was crispy, flavourful and juicy (I’m drooling as I type this). Gyoza was so-so, unfortunately they didn’t sear the bottom to give it the crispy contrast to the soft steamed top. Overall a wonderful meal!

Another small painting for the Doraemon fan 🥰
This one will most likely go on our kitchen island. The blue paint was a little dried up, but thankfully could still be saved by rehydrating with water. The first coat turned out patchy as a result, but with a second layer it looked fine. Faizal felt the background looked a little plain and old school, so since I had a lot of paint left over, I mixed up the pink background paint with the red paint and used the new color to enhance the background. Done in less than 2 hours with loads of breaks in between 😊
Back in February, we built a thing 🥰. [Final part]
We now have a nice new closet, but the light switch looks ratty, so off it went. Doing your own electrical work is one of the Dumb Ways to Die, but thankfully Faizal knows how to replace the switch while taking all the necessary safety measures 😅
And that’s a wrap. We turned an idea envisioned on paper into reality. We were exhausted by the end of it, but we’re very happy with the result. 🥰

We decided to upgrade our bedroom closet. Our final touches:
1) Added cleats, which were recommended by the closet system manufacturer for added support.
2) Added covers for the rails.
3) Using spacers, we made sure all the side panels are properly vertical before anchoring to the walls.
4) Rounded off the corners, in case we bump into them😅
5) Touched up black screwheads/blemishes

We decided to upgrade our bedroom closet. We used an off-the-shelf closet system, but opted to make our own shelves. We went to the lumberyard to grab a couple of melamine boards, and Faizal cut them down to size. We saved about 70% vs the cost of buying ready-made shelves by doing this.
In this video, we were making the shelves. After cutting, we added the edge banding, and drilled pocket holes into a few of them where needed.
We also didn’t want the shelves to slide around, so Faizal added notches to the bottom of the shelves using his router.

We decided to upgrade our bedroom closet. At first we were looking at IKEA stuff, but they weren’t the exact fit. Either something was too short, too long or sticks out somewhere. Then we found a few off-the-shelf modular closet systems which are customizable for a better fit. Drawing inspiration from Pinterest on possible combinations I did a few sketches, Faizal then modeled it on the computer for maximum accuracy. From the model a BOM was generated, and we did a thorough price comparison exercise, optimising components from different sellers and opting to make the shelves ourselves. The cost reduction was substantial, and well worth the effort.
We spent about a full week completing this project. I enjoyed painting the walls and working with some of the power tools (achievements unlocked!). Even though the closet system was designed to be installed with minimal tools/customization, we really made it our own and added quite a few refinements. We stamped our logo and signed on one of the side panels, just for the memories. Can’t wait for our next project!
[1 Dec 2023] Goodbye Bali!
This is my last super long overdue post, and I’ll be done with Bali haha. Bought a sandwich and doughnuts at the airport, because we were starving. It started raining when we took off, but the flight wasn’t too bad. Took a video of Brian Chan’s appearance in the inflight video. I missed the opportunity during the inbound flight haha 😝 Food was alright, I was quite happy the flight attendant told me to grab as many packets of salted peanuts I wanted (flight wasn’t full, unfortunately), I wish I didn’t stop at just two handfuls 😬
The best pie susu in Bali in my opinion is Pie Susu Enaaak. I’m so glad they were on GrabFood, and I had them delivered to our resort that same morning. These pictures were what made me miss them the other day and I ended up making my own at home. Yum!
And that’s a wrap! #endoftrip

For sahur tomorrow: egg paruppu.
How did I not know about this thing before? Paruppu muttai aanam is basically dhall with eggs, which to me sounds like a great breakfast item. This turned out so hearty and flavourful, although I think I’ll let it simmer 5 more minutes longer to soften the lentils a bit more. Gonna have this with roti canai tomorrow. Can’t wait!

[30 Nov 2023 - Bali Day 5] We spent the day just chillin’ and hanging around the resort.
For brunch, had the nasi goreng daging we brought from home, topped with fried egg. We had a product update session in the afternoon, and they served pretty nice kuih and coffee. We spent some time by the beach until sunset, and took a dip in our plunge pool in the evening.
Wish we had more time just chillaxing like this.
