But the thing is

He found someone else and they live cheesily ever after.

*inserts glass-breaking sound effect*

I found my Mr (almost) Perfect this Valentine’s.

Here I would eagerly like to declare my eternal love to this special somecheese, whom I’ve been secretly admiring for a looooooong time.

I actually wanted to talk about him earlier, but I was a bit shy and unsure. Those who are observant should notice I have been talking a lot about him lately… *blushes*

But I guess today is the day to let it all out. It’s crystal clear. I’m sure he’s the one.

Nocheese is 100% perfect. When I found this Mr 91% perfect (the remaining 9% belongs to the flaws I’m gonna pick on him after our engagement.) , I fell completely head over cheese in love with him.

He has that X factor that makes you go “whoaaaa” non-stop.

Cheesh, he looks sextremely cute. Not to mention sextremely sexy too. Everytime I look at him I just wanna strip him off his clothes. Rawrrrr… *sniggers emo*

And the best thing is, I will never get fed up with him. He is just too nice to get sick of.

And the bestest thing is, he is damn rich!!!!

Cheesus Crust. I’ve never met someone so rich in my life. Mozzie always say I will eventually marry a rich cheese. I think I will. And. Live cheesilyeverafter. ^-^

Damn. I can’t wait to propose to him already. Wish me luck.

My Mr 91% perfect.

And remember. He’s the richest cheese in the world.



It is official.

BABYBELLE LOVES……

MR. LAUGHING COW PARTY CUBES

The sexiest and richest cheese in the world.

Café Café

I’ve been wanting to dine in Café Café since 3 years ago.

I know distance is a lame excuse, cuz a cheeser like me will go to great length for good food.

I panicked after reading/hearing more and more comments from friends who have visited this lovely café.


“It’s uber romantic. You'll fall in love with that place, trust me.”
“The food is soooo good! So cheesy!!”
“Cheesie you MUST go. No matter what. Take a cab or something.”
“OMG how can you not have been to Café Café?!”


Yea. Like, how can I not have been to Café Café.

And NO LONGER!!

Café Café has been officially cheesily devoured. Muahahaha.

I don’t know how to describe this place. It is said to be quintessentially Parisian-- echoes of the combination of Le Quartier du Marais, Montmartre together with a touch of Moulin Rough (sic, quoted from its original website).

But whatever man, me ain't artsy-cheesy. In plain cheesie term—Cheesarific. Period.


Just hold your breath the moment you step inside


Dangling crystals from the ceiling, all over. Wish upon a crystal!


Errm, the combination of Le Quartier du Marais, Montmartre together with a touch of Moulin Rough?! lol.

My photography sucks ok. Please visit Café Café’s website to check out the professional photos. You’ll love'em.

Now let’s move on to food!!!



Appetizer

Escargot topped with foie gras and truffles


I didn’t have this. I’m escargot-phobic. (Tabacco allergic, caffeine intolerant… I know!! >_<)


Pan-seared foie gras



Babybelle: Dollies, you HAVE TO try this.

(*kan cheongs* in case they go crazy over it, i die la. i'll have only the gravvy all to myself. lol.)

Princess: *not interested* I like my duck.
Tiara: *hesitates* Erm… No thanx..
Dazzling: *gasps* I'm sooo full. I’ve had a three course meal in TGIF!
Angel: *shakes head* on diet.


Babybelle holding a fork with a mellow juicy piece of foie gras, staring at Jewel.


Jewel: oooookay… *opens her mouth*
Jewel: 0_o (for 10 second)
Jewel: I sooooooo regretted having escargot. Can we swap?
Babybelle: Muahahaha no.


This. is. the. bestestest. Foie. Gras. in. the. world.

I went speechless for one whole minute before I could tell them how good it was.

It just melts on your tongue like that. And… forgive me, I still can’t describe how good it was.

I think, Café Café should modify their set menu a little. This pan seared Foie Gras should be served as a dessert, because you simply don’t feel like eating any thing else after just one bite. You just don’t want other taste to overlap this Foie Gras intoxication. Trust me, you don’t even feel like brushing your teeth before you sleep because you want it lingers into your dream.

I’m serious you know. Next time I’ll order it as a dessert.


Foie Gras Salad


Foie Gras again. This time with salad. Just as intoxicating.


Main

Fettuccini with white truffles sauce


I always wonder how truffle tastes like. Of course I have tried truffles. Like, chocolate truffle. But the real truffle?

Truffles and Foie Gras are Café Café’s specialty.

10 out of 10 for Foie Gras. This truffle sauce… hmmm… It’s no doubt very rich in erm… truffles?

The thing is, after eating the pasta, I still don’t know how truffle taste like. lol.

But someone said it tasted like petroleum?!?

0_o

I didn’t finish it though. (and the waiter asked if there’s anything wrong with it *paiseh*) because someone wouldn’t want to help me with it. Cutting carbs, bah!


Grilled cod and scallop


The presentation reminds me of the Egyptian Pyramids. It looks like the skid that could transfer bricks/stones to the pyramid site.

Imagine the scallop is one huge block of stone, and is being carried on the skid (the cod body) on four giant rolling leeks, in a pool of uhm… mud?

Enough nonsense. Go on and I might ruin your appetite. Hehe.

But look at the texture of the cod. It was just so fresh. Gravvy is greenish, but you can’t see clearly because the color of this photo is hopelessly irreparable.

Just don’t quite fancy the giant rollers though.



Dessert

Tiramisu


Sorry for the bad picture, again. But the good news is, it’s better than what it looks. =D


Crème Brulee with Espresso and Amaretto


Jewel loves Crème Brulee.
Jewel loves Amaretto.
So this is like double the love.

For the first time we ate Crème Brulee differently. Jewel kept pouring Amaretto and I kept filling it with espresso.

The espresso was too good I went a tad espresso OD. Hence the disastrous insomnia.
Price to pay for good dessert!


Grand Marnier

Neat. So it's extremely tangy.
As if I’ve not gotten enough of Tiramisu.
But where’s my frangelico?!



Verdict:
The dolls love Café Café.
Me loves Café Café.
Everybody loves Café Café.

It’s harder to find people who dislike Café Café than people who love Britney Spears.

So, “OMG how can you not have been to Café Café?!”

=))

Cheese of the day #7

Got these snacks from Taipei. Some are supposedly Xmas tidbits but somehow they became my CNY snacks.

Doritos Spicy Cheese Nachos


It is a Xmas special. The Nachos are in Xmas tree shapes. How cute! There’s another Guacamole version and I personally prefer that, because this is way, too, spicy.

What to do. I’m a lemon herb person when it comes to Nando’s.


Doritos Golden Cheese Nachos

Another fancy packaging which is pointless. It doesn’t taste any different from the normal Doritos except it is a tad sweeter, I guess. Cheesh, more like tomatoish.



Cheetos Crunchy
(Super hot god, oh, typo, dog I mean).


And limited time only.

Mom lagi chun. She didn’t want to eat it because she thought it was spicy, because she read “Super Hot”. But how could she not see the dog. It is printed so big.

These are like twisties, nothing too hotgoddy. Cheesh whats wrong with me. Hotdoggy. Alright.




Oh and here comes the classic.



可乐果 试嚼系


Cheesh. Read that. That. Is the most creative pun I’ve ever seen on a cheese snack packaging. Ever.

It’s garlic&cheese snack, there’s no exact translation to it. The nearest I could get is prolly “Don’t pretend. I’m cheesed!” But that’s too far from its original meaning.

Are Taiwanese cheesnius or what?

Too bad la if you don’t read Chinese. You just missed the joke made of Garlic and Cheese. Go ask your non-banana friend.

Alternatively, consult me. I charge by minute this time.
=D

Bakerzin Part I (Chapter Fill Your Tummy Up)

My first visit to Bakerzin was the one in Bangsar Shopping Center. Bakerzin is a dessert heaven. Imagine how happy I was when it finally came to 1 Utama, after O’Briens and Delicious.

I’ve done a little snooping around on the net and apparently Bakerzin has a very reputable consistency in its food quality. A blogger said she’s tried the same food from Bakerzin in Singapore and KL and they are not different in any way.


Brioches mushroom fricassee
Sautéed mushroom, spinach & poached egg on brioche bread

This is categorized under “heartier meals”, but the portion is kinda small as a main course. I would say it is a little tasteless too.

Seafood spaghetti

This looked nice, but I didn’t try it. The original meal is meant for two, but you can always ask them to reduce the portion to one, for half the price.

Champignons ala crème
Mushroom stew served in traditional herb flavored vol-au-vent with mesclun salad.

Erm... Whatever that means...

-.-"

I noticed Bakerzin uses lots and lotsa champignons in their dishes. Personally I love mushroom itself a lot, but not cream of mushroom though. Weird. Maybe it was the countless bad experiences with Pizza Hut and Campbell. You’ll never hear me order mushroom cappuccino. However wild it is. LOL.

But if you do like cream of mushroom, lucky you, this is like a special version of “mushroom soup in the bread”, with thicker, more concentrated cream of mushroom and crispier pastry instead of soggy bread.

Lavender Tea

A change of taste from my usual cuppa chamomile. A very lovely romantic tea in pink with a faint aroma of lavender.

Strawberry Juice (Fresh blended!!)

This is NOT in the menu. I wonder how Princess discovered this rare gem. She must have been asking all restaurants if they serve strawberry juice, hmmm.

Jewel and I decided to go drinkless (we’ve just had tea in Dome!)

Ordered the drink Princess did, and off for a ciggie break with Angel she went. Then that pinkish-red glass of thick liquid came.


Jewel: Looks nice.
Babybelle: Sure does.
Jewel: Hmmm.


She stared at me for awhile, and looked stealthily at the direction where Princess’s gone. Then without saying a word, she took a sip of that drink.


Jewel: *gasps* Stellarific!


Me stared at her for awhile, and looked stealthily at the direction where Princess’s gone. Without saying a word, I took over the glass and had a sip too.


Babybelle: *gasps* Cheesarific.

*together* Jewel&Babybelle waved at the waiter.

Jewel: Another glass of strawberry juice please.
Babybelle: Make it two. Without sugar, please.


*Princess walks back into the scene and notices that three glass of juices*


Jewel: We’re kind of, erm…
Babybelle: Thirsty, yes.



Café Latte

Also check out this café latte with (literally) lovely froth. Awww… how lovey dovey.


The food is pleasant enough but a little pricey compared to other similar cafés such as Delicious and Robbert Harris. The two mushroom dishes are RM21 each. So be prepared to fork out an RM50 note for another drink and a dessert, if you go alone that is.

But heck, what's fun to have dessert without sharing!

Stay cheesed for Bakerzin Part II, Chapter Dessert!!
