Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday! Avenue K is bringing you Santa's Party performance at 4pm every weekend, that you won't wanna miss it.



There is a live performance where a bunch of cute dancers in their cheerful christmas outfits performing just right in front of you at the concourse area.



Can you see the pink MINI at the back? That's Santa sitting in his larger than life ride, AK MINI. Aww.



Avenue K has brings Christmas live performance to a greater level where this female vocalist, Joy Victor impress you with her talented powerful voice, singing Christmas songs.



Not forgetting to mention the highlight of this particular weekend performance, a jaw dropping moves of an aerialist as she elevated high above the atrium floor.





A good news to all the shopaholics and Christmas shoppers, Holiday Shopping Spree 2.0 brings you AK's Christmas interactive ikiosk game where you can walk away with instant prizes when you spend RM50*. On top of that, you are qualified to participate in the weekend lucky draw when you spend RM300* and above. By qualifying in the weekend draw, stand a chance to win the grand prizes of an Ogawa massage chair (worth RM21,700) plus a 2-nights stay at Aloft Hotel. The winner will be announced during the Grand Finale Lucky Draw on AK's awesome rooftop venue on the 25th December, starting 5pm.

After the awesome performance, we straight heading to one of the participating outlets.



Tsukamen & Izakaya Eiyasu is located at the 3rd floor of Avenue K.



Dipping ramen is pretty rare in Malaysia. There are 5 types of sauces to choose from, namely soy sauce, miso, Japanese curry, tomato sauce and sesame. Although it seems fusion to me, but the boys love to bits! I personally love the half boiled egg, it mixed well with the sesame sauce.

Tsukemen & Izayaka Eiyasu specialty would have to be the Tsukemen. Their noodle is made of 100% high quality flour, the soup base is mixture of pork, chicken and seafood, which stewed for 9 hours before being served to your table. The last page of the menu, they show you how to eat Tsukemen the correct way, also a friendly reminder where you could notify the staff if you prefer softer noodle, as the Tsukemen noodle is slightly thick compared to the usual ones.

I immediately fall in love with its ambiance and decoration. We are lucky to have a table in the morning, as what I've known this place sometimes require a table reservation before you come.



Courtesy to AK Food Adventure, the boyfriend and I able to dine in at Wondermama X in the morning and later in the afternoon, we have our light meal at the bar.



After scrolling down the menu, we go for Malaysian's Most Favorite, the Nasi Lemak! They have plenty of Nasi Lemak with different sides, we picked Nasi Lemak 2.0, comes with sambal, petai prawn, kangkung, ikan bilis, egg, kacang, and deep fried soft shell crabs.

Drink Kopi with Kopi Jelly, heaven~



The boyfriend is tempted to order a slice of cake, we are forced to give it a pass, thinking that we will come back for it in the afternoon. But apparently, other than the good old local foods, and the delicious cakes, they offered a different variety of food at the bar.



Yakitori Beef Sandwich! Oh nom nom! The juicy beef and salty fish roe make a good combination, I can't even. Trust me, if I wasn't thinking straight that time, I would order extra 3 sets of this. I can't do this to myself, I'm that kind of stick-to-one-place person for lunch and dinner, for me to travel from Seremban to KL every day for lunch and dinner? Well, the best is Wondermama has an outlet in my hometown! Please, come down la!



The clock is ticking, I'm rushing to join in the fun of Santa's Party @ Avenue K, well, Wondermama X, till then!

Good day peepu! This blog I will mainly share my food adventures with more than 10 restaurants/outlets, courtesy to Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Thank you for having us, ありがとうございます！


Woke up early in the morning as I was departing from my hometown, which is Seremban. Decided to bring a plus one after went through the event details, where the bloggers get to indulge themselves into a wide variety of foods in Avenue K. Honestly speaking, I could eat a cow if I'm hungry, but looking at all the awesome restaurants that participated in this event, don't you know Sharing is Caring?

Had a brief introduction before we headed to the first restaurant in the list. We are all given a AK Passport, where all the restaurants are precisely listed, and some of it are limited, first come first served basis.


Yeah, here we go! Marutama Ramen, located at the UC level, few shops away from H&M, it's easy to spot.


We've ordered Tamago Ramen. Marutama Ramen served homemade Hakata-styled ramen noodle, which originates from Hakata district of Fukuoka city in Kyushu. Just a brief info on Japanese ramen: Nearly every region in Japan has its own variation of ramen. The most common ones is miso ramen which originally from Hokkaido.

What is so special about this bowl of ramen is, the soup is 100% pure chicken broth that made with no MSG at all. As mentioned by the manager, the soup are very susceptible to change in color and taste, and it needs a long hour for the cooking process and preparation.

My favorite is the soft boiled flavored egg, it's a bit salty but yummy! When I shared my ramen experience with my friends who studied in Japan, I was told that Marutama Ramen is a wellknown ramen specialist among the ramen lovers in many countries, also different parts in Japan.


Next, we proceed to Maison D'lights, located just opposite Sushi Box @ C level, same level with the KLCC/LRT Station.


The creator of these handmade Belgium chocolates is Kevin Tan. He makes customised chocolate bars to cater your needs for special occasions, such as wedding, birthday parties, company launching, annual dinners and more.


Surprisingly, the prices are reasonably affordable! I would never thought of suggesting anyone with low budget to have customised chocolates for their special occasion, apparently, Kevin can make it happens!



As you can see in the photo above, there are white chocolates (boyfriend's favorite!), milk chocolates, and a variety of dark chocolates. I'm a dark chocolate person, thus I would suggest you to try out the dark chocolate series. If you are looking for special packaging, nudge Kevin at 012-6436816, he offers a wide range of packaging designs too!


The boyfriend kept nagging to go Warisan Cafe to try out Nasi Kukus Ayam Goreng Berempah.


Warisan Cafe is located below an escalator, at the C Level. It's easily spotted at your left hand side when you're walking toward to Presto.


The ramen experience was about an hour ago, my stomach is growling. I've ordered a set of Nasi Kukus Ayam Goreng Berempah and the staff-recommended Teh Lapis Pandan Gula Melaka. We love the meal, until we forgot to snap a photo of it. (what a shame) The boyfriend practically finished a big part of the rice while I enjoyed the fried chicken, we actually tapao a set back home for my brother.


Subway lunch box is widely loved by students and working adults in Tokyo and Taipei. I've been to these places and during busy hour there will be a phenomena where a super long queue outside the shop, people lining up to pay for their packed meal. I love the idea of having a quick meal, a convenient ones where you can finish the eating and packing disposal process within 10 minutes. If you are a frequent LRT users, head to Sushi Box @ C Level to grab a pack of Sushi or onigiri on-the-go!

We, the bloggers are given a small box of sushi each, I've chose Salmon sushi. But if you could wait until 8pm, they have this clearance sale where you get buy-1-free-1 promotion! Frankly speaking, I'm a big fan of sushi, I went back to the shop and bought one for myself as supper.


Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.


There is an on-going Christmas promotion, Make Magic Happen! You'll get 2 extra doughnuts with every dozen doughnuts (including 4 Christmas doughnuts as shown above) and also an exclusive recyclable bag for every 2 dozens doughnuts.


After all the sweet tooth, we are dying for a cup of fine coffee. It's so exciting when we found out EspressoLab is one of the participating outlets!


The view when I'm ordering my coffees. The lobby is fully packed with coffee lovers, the boyfriend politely turned down their cake offer as our stomach is bloated with so many meals already! As far as I concern, EspressoLab is a franchised business, unlike other well known coffee brands. I believe the franchise performance is solely depending on the operation skills and customer service, rather than just the brand itself.


I always look up at people who are passionate about their job and take them seriously. This guy, in the red shirt is the barista. He explained the beans that been brewed in their coffees, also how to brew a perfect coffee, not forgetting the latte art 101. He has social skills to engage with their customers, and from my observation while they're serving the customers, I can tell the customers love it, and definitely they'll come back for more.


If you're looking for a nice ambiance for a hangout or doing work, EspressoLab @ Avenue K is easily accessible via LRT, not forgetting to mention the advantage of spending your weekend here because the parking is freaking cheap compared to neighbouring malls.


After this coffee session, the boyfriend and I decided to call my brother to join us for the rest of the day. While we are waiting for my brother to arrive, I get to go behind the bar to check out the beans as well as how he brew a cup of coffee.


My second cup of coffee of the day.

This is a #longovedue post, obviously. I always wanted to share more about my vacation to beautiful places, but sometimes I was just being lazy and tending to think that I have no readers at all. Anyway, I still enjoy updating my own blog, so.

I've been to Melbourne 4 times during Spring and Winter in year 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2014. This time around I went to Melbourne with the boyfriend and his parents. I've been anticipating for tulip festival since two year ago as I missed this great event back then.

Well,

Tulip Festival - One of the wow factors you want to visit Melbourne during Spring. I've been to Melbourne during Spring twice, but this whole thing about tulips, is my first time!
