The Best Red Velvet in KL (Part 3)
Actually I blogged about Nadia's Red Velvet Cake while writting for The Daily Grind. I believe that she deserves to get a whole page to herself. She made me so happy with the cupcakes. I was struggling to finish up the cupcakes, not because it was bad but it was heavenly good. I don't know when will get to taste that again. I know she's pretty busy with work and tries really hard to juggle with orders etc. I can't forget the first time I ordered from her. I loved it so much! It was really good. Without any reason, I ordered the second time from her. It wasn't as good as the first time but it was still yummy. Maybe the bar is too high even for her. lol!
The Best Red Velvet in KL (Part 2)
Blogged about my experience with The Daily Grind Red Velvet Cake earlier. I suddenly have this insatiable craving over the Red Devil. Right after my training, I went to Empire Shopping Mall Subang to try another joint selling the Red Velvet Cake. This is due to astounding reviews for the cakes. I've got to try it out!
It was my first time at Empire Shopping Mall so I was a little out of my element. While strolling along the lower ground, we finally found a cafe called Whisk Espresso Bar & Bake Shop. It's small and cosy place, nearby Jaya Grocer.
We had Red Velvet Cake, Carrot Cake, Hazelnut Latte and Coffee Latte. It cost us RM45. The cake priced at RM11.90 each. Hurmm.. to think bout it, I could have a whole cake for that kind of price. Haha!
OK, here goes my review.. The cake came first before the coffee. I had my first bite and it was crazy sweet! It was like a rush to the brain and I actually get a really bad headache after eating it. No joke! I don't know how would people consider that Whisk has the best Red Velvet and Carrot Cake. Seriously, I won't go there again for their cakes. I'd love to taste the macaroon though... This is just my personal views.. *ducks* As for the coffee, I think the barista did a good job in making us a good cup of coffee. We didn't add any sugar to it, thanks to the kind reminder written at the cafe - Try the coffee first before adding the sugar. Safe to say, by consuming the cake while taking the hot coffee latte (non-sugar) is actually bearable. We didn't finish the cakes though.
Verdict: Definately NOT the best red velvet cake *in my book*.. Still looking for the best.. At this point, The Daily Grind come in close second after Nadia's cupcake..
Next: I want to try the Red Devil from A Taste Boutique. I went to the shop yesterday and it's closed. Really can't wait to try it out!
*If you have found your dream Red Velvet Cake, do leave a message. I'd love to try it out.

*This is my personal review. I don't get paid giving the review. It's for my love for the food! :)
I'm in the midst of hunting for the best Red Velvet Cake in KL for quite some time now. I love my "jalan-jalan cari makan" moment with my hubby. It's wonderful to share delicious food experience with someone special! My mom came back from Ireland - stayed at my brother's house for 2 weeks. I've been craving for Red Velvet for quite awhile so I took the "oppportunity" to buy 1 whole cake of the red devil! As I read reviews over the net, many of them suggested to get the Red devil from The Daily Grind. Without thinking, I picked up the phone and ordered it! It cost me RM99.76 (plus tax)! Pretty darn expensive for a cake huh?! Argh! Never mind that. Regret later... Everyone was shocked by looking at the size of it. We didn't have party or anything. Just family affairs. It was HUGE! Not too bad for a RM99.76 cake! ;) I've tasted my first Red Velvet Cake baked my a dear friend of mine and I could still remember vividly of the cream cheese. It was sooo good! We ordered cupcakes from her and I enjoyed it to bits! I was hoping of getting the same effect from the cake. No. I hope for the better. Hehe! Well, now comes the review. The cake was good BUT it's not cream cheese. It's butter cream. The cake is still yummy but to me the icing is just not to that level. Maybe cuz I've had better? *duck* However,my sister loved it! So it depends to your own taste palate. Have it a try.. I think it cost about RM12 per slice.
The cake is huge!

Is it weird to wear baby sling? :o
Finally my quest to find my baju raya ended today. I love wearing dark colored clothes, the darker, the better. :) However this year, I want to make few exception as this year. We've decided to have a theme color.. yeah.. I know, it's lame.. but that's how we roll from now on! lol!
After several day of relentless pursue over the baju kurung, finally I stumbled upon a very nice baju kurung and most importantly, it's within my budget! yay! but sadly, it's not the end of the journey, actually we just warming up.. We have to get baju melayu for the daddy and son! Keep fingers crossed!
Now, where was I.. Oh yeah, actually I wanted to talk about baby sling that I wore carrying Zara. As I walked around town with it, I saw eyes keep on staring at me trying to figuring out what's in the "sack"?! yes, a sales girl actually taught it's a bag.. I must say it's weird to hear such comments.. Some of them even approach me and telling me that it's not good for the baby.. Hurmm.. I personally think that it's very convenient and comfortable for the baby! She slept the whole day without a sound when she's in the sling. I love using it and most importantly, she loves it and I'm going to stick with it! Stare all you want people, it's going to be my fashion statement! Hahahahaha! :)

Astro B.yond - PVR family commercial
Zhafran is obsessing over PVR family commercial aired in Astro. He keeps on "clicking" the the "button" on the tv. One day while he's taking his nap, the commercial popped out. The next I knew he was already in front of the tv, trying to click on it. It was a joy at first to watch but once i saw his sticky fingers on the tv, it's not a pretty sight anymore! haha!
I wish I knew the "family" behind the "buttons". My son would really love seeing them in real life. Ohh.. I hope he'll not try to "click" on them. Things are going to get ugly! lol! :)
In this scene, the mom and dad were accidentally bumped into each other which is real fun to see.. It catches my attention to watch the whole commercial. They look so cute and funny!
This is my son's favorite scene. By now, he's already in front of the tv and trying to click on the "play" button. Most probably because that the only "button" is within his reach! :)
*Gosh.. he's now trying to click on the images while I'm posting this. ;) Gotta run..

The baby has arrived! :)
I'm so happy to announce that Zara Suffiya is here. She was born on the 17th of June 2010 weighing 2.89 kg at Sime Darby Medical Center (SDMC). It was a quick delivery and I thank God for that. She's healthy and so far a very quiet one too.. :)
I was 2.5cm dilated on June 10th. I didn't feel any contraction in regards to it. Dr Siti gave me an option to induce but I wanted to try to have as normal delivery as possible so we stick to our plan and wait. Since I told her that I have to go to my cousin's wedding on the coming weekend, she advised not lift heavy things and just relax. It was really hard to stay still if you have a year old boy running in heavy crowds. :)
I went to the next week check up which is on June 17th, she checked and confirmed I was dilating 4cm and I still didn't feel the contraction. She told me that it's going to be a quick delivery and she estimated within 3-4 hours. I was skeptical about it due to long hours delivery with Zhafran. They gave me an I.V drip to induce the baby and I was dilating to 8cm in no time. After a good 40 minutes in unimaginable pain, Zara came into the world with her sweetest cry. The doctor even allowed my hubby to cut the umbilical cord! :)
It was very quick pregnancy and delivery for me since I only knew about the pregnancy on my 5th month. I felt slight movement in my belly. At that time, I figured, maybe I'm pregnant or something else is going on. Given my track record, it's best to go straight to gynae - if I'm pregnant at least I know the correct timing. While waiting for urine test, I climbed up the bed for scanning. Within seconds, the doctor asked me whether I wanted to know the gender of the baby. I was shocked and knew it must be on my 5th month! It's normal for me not getting period regularly and I don't experience any pregnancy sickness plus the belly only shown at the end of 6th month pregnancy. Everyone in the office was shocked! Shortly after that, I gave birth and now on maternity leave. :)
I am an active person. I wish I could slow down a bit during my pregnancy. I even did wall climbing on my 4th month of pregnancy. If only I knew bout it sooner.. After all being said, Zara is a very healthy and beautiful girl and I thank God for that. :) Alhamdulillah.
