Bad Ass Coffee, Tropicana City Mall, Petaling Jaya

I rarely goes to Tropicana City Mall because it's not too convenient to go there from my place. It's not far, it's just that to entrance to TCM is limited from one road which is a road I rarely takes if I want to go to SS2. So, last Thursday when WMW wanted to meet up in TCM, I gladly accepted because this might be the 2nd time that I'll be coming here for the whole 2010.

Since, Bad Ass Coffee is only found here in TCM, I opted to come and have a taste of their kona coffee and oxtail soup. I ordered iced latte and hey it's tasted nice. Not diluted like the iced latte from Starbucks (I always ask for extra shot on my tall iced latte, it's free). It won't be watered down even if the ice melts.

Because the ice cubes are made of coffee too. Now that's an idea Starbucks should learn from.

Coffee Ice Cubes

The food here is way better than Starbucks. I don't think there's any coffee chain in Malaysia that serves Oxtail Soup (RM 9.90++) except for Bad Ass Coffee. For that price, you'll get three slices of garlic bread and two big chunks of oxtail meat. Quite a value for a coffee chain. It tasted very nice too.

Now I hope that it will opens more outlets so that we don't have to drink diluted coffee anymore.

Inception

Thanks to Nuffnang, I've watched Inception a day before it's released. It's a great movie. One can expect good one from Chris Nolan (director of Dark Knight). It's not as mind fucking as Shutter Island for me but still quite a mind fucking movie. I am able to gasp the concept of the different layer of dream within dream within dream within dream within dream, if you get what I mean.

I won't want to spoil the movie for you. All I can say is, great acting, great story, great plot and an ending that might make one wondered whether there will be extra footage in the DVD that will have two different extended endings lol. Now stop reading and go watch this movie.

Rating: 9/10

New Items From California Pizza Kitchen, KLCC

It's been almost more than 6 months since my last visit to California Pizza Kitchen (CPK). After 6 months, it is time again for CPK to bring some new items to their already rich menu that fills with a lot of nice dishes. I have WMW, Coco, WiLee, Sidney, and Rebecca to share all these nice food with. Trust me the portion from CPK is not small.

Sunriser

We starts off with a refreshing Moroccan Chicken Salad (Full RM 32++, Half RM 26++). A bite into the Moroccan-spiced chicken breast really gives me a Middle Eastern kind of taste. Tossed it up with Honey-Dijon vinaigrette, crisp Romaine lettuce, roasted butternut squash, dates, toasted almonds, fresh beets, chopped egg, carrots, dried cranberries, red bell peppers and of course my favourite fresh avocado. A healthy choice of appetizer.

Moroccan Chicken Salad (Full RM 32++, Half RM 26++)

After a cold appetizer, we were warmed up with Sonora Egg Rolls (RM 25++). This is more like a Mexican flavour. Well, American food is like a great melting pot, so you'll get food influenced by different country. Grilled lime chicken, roasted corn & black bean salsa, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, fire-roasted mild chillies, green onions and cilantro, hand-wrapped in a crispy wonton roll. Quite a filling (pun intended) appetizer. Goes very well with the tomatillo salsa and ranchito sauce.

Sonora Egg Rolls (RM 25++)

New in the Specialty is the Ginger Salmon (RM 43.50 ++). Pan-sauteed Norwegian Atlantic salmon topped with chopped fresh cilantro, green onions and sweet ginger sauce. Served with wok-stirred mixed vegetables. One of my favourite dish of the night. I like the way that the salmon is cooked just at the right timing, which stills leave the juice inside the meat. Overcooked salmon is dry and chunky. The salmon is tasty enough without any sauce but dip a bit of the sweet ginger sauce to enhance the flavour.

Specialty is the Ginger Salmon (RM 43.50 ++)

I can eat the Pesto Cream Penne (With chicken RM 33++, With shrimp RM 36++, With chicken & shrimp RM 39++) everyday and will get bore of it. The basil pine nut pesto cream sauce is right for the penne. It's not overwhelming like carbonara and not too oily like aglio olio. Throw in some sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and voila. Thank you WiLee to pose your hands for me to take the picture.

Rebecca the Spirit and WiLee.

There's not one but three new pizzas introduced into the menu starting 1st of July 2010. Let's start off with a meaty Meat Cravers (RM 38++). A combination of sweet Italian sausage, pepperoni, turkey bacon, spicy salami, julienne salami, Mozzarella cheese and CPK tomato sauce. Rebecca and I finds it a bit salty maybe because CPK is too generous with the amount of meat and cheese. I'll recommend a mug of beer to goes with it and it'll be perfect.

The Meat Cravers (RM 38++)

CPK weren't kidding when they named this pizza Cheeseburger Pizza (RM 38++, add turkey bacon RM 4++, add fresh avocado RM 6++). I took a bite and I thought I was eating Big Mac, which only tasted better because the ground beef is not too salty as the latter. Of course there's also the generous amount of caramelized sweet onions, Mozzarella and American cheeses, hearth-baked, and then topped with fresh tomotoes and chilled shredded lettuce tossed in CPK secret sauce. A plus point from me because of the added fresh avocado. I would have eaten one more slice if I don't have to save space for more food. I 'sapued' all the avocado though :p

Cheeseburger Pizza (RM 38++, add turkey bacon RM 4++, add fresh avocado RM 6++)

The Pesto Chicken pizza (RM 31++) seems to be the favourite among the pizzas that night. Why not? Basil always goes very well with pizza. Grilled chicken breast marinated in a basil pesto sauce with mild onions, Mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto sauce and toasted pine nuts. Topped with fresh basil. I'm craving for it again as I am writing this. I can just smell the nice aroma from the fresh basil and basil pesto sauce.

Pesto Chicken (RM 31++)

I downed all those food with a Passion Fruit Mojito. Ah...this is life.

Passion Fruit Mojito

It won't be a perfect dinner in California Pizza Kitchen if we didn't eat our favourite desserts. Red Velve Cake, Tiramisu and Chocolate Souffle Cake. Read my previous post for my review on these wonderful dolce.

Red Velvet cake, this time with ice-cream baby

Tiramisu

Chocolate Souffle Cake

It was a wonderful dinner with loads of good food. I won't wait 6 months to come to CPK again with food like these introduced to the menu. There are still the Tuscan White Bean Minestrone soup (Bowl RM 15++, Cup RM 11++) and Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich (RM 31++) that I haven't try yet from the new items added into the menu.

It Is Kenny Sia and Not Paul the Octopus...

that correctly predicted a winning set of number for Magnum 4D. What is meant as a joke when Kenny photoshoped Paul the Octopus predicting the outcome of the top 3 prizes for Magnum 4D turn out to be real for some punters.

The doctored picture from KennySia.com

I read the news in today's Oriental Daily News (东方日报), which roughly states that some punters really went and buy the three sets of number put in by Kenny in his doctored picture of Paul the Octopus. Not only that, one set of the number 9398 came out Special Prize in Magnum 4D. Special prize pays 1 to 200, which means buying RM 1 will win you RM 200.

The report from Oriental Daily News

It's a wonder what 4D punters will do when it comes to placing a bet. Even when they clearly knows that the picture is meant as a joke, they will go and put their money on it. Well, turns out their bets did win them something lol. So, Kenny what numbers will come out on the next draw?
