The best tiramisu I have ever had and arguably the best in Klang Valley though I have yet to try Sara’s one. You have gotta try this place man. My friend says the food is good there as well. The owner Christine is a chatty babe who is just fun to talk to. I have heard people drive from miles away (actually shah alam) just to take home 1/2 a cake 
Sara’s Rating :- 8.0 / 10.0

Sigh. I just spent close to 1 1/2 hours on the road trying to get to work. The traffic was horrendous! At one particular toll both, my car stood stationary for almost 20 minutes and I was at the SmartTag lane, which was suppose to be the “Fast Lane”. What caused all the jams? Well, a few reasons. One would be the number of cars on the road at rush hour. With public transport being the horror it is, and not enough alternative ways to get out of main suburbs such as Cheras, people are left with no alternatives but to drive. If only our government had the foresight to build better subways instead of spending money on stupid mega projects and white elephants like sending tourist to space.
Other issues like the way our highways are built are another source of problem. 10 lanes merge into 2 lanes, all sorts of funny exists and entrances from major highways and all highways going back into the Federal highway. All these things caused massive jams. With no foresight given to those who planned the city, it seems like KLites are doomed to suffer traffic jams.
Do you forsee a day where KL would be an Olympic City? I doubt we would ever have that honour as we cant even handle day to day traffic much less the influx of tourist. Why can’t there be more traffic police making sure cars stay to the correct lanes and not cheat and jump queues on the road? Why can’t we demolish older buildings and widen all major roads. Why can’t the Putra line go into more suburbs?
Sigh. KL seems doomed. Don’t even get me started on the traffic when it rains.

There is a beauty in the Brickfield part of KL, known to some as the little India of Malaysia. Sure its hectic, there are tons of buses that come and go, thanks to the addition of KL Sentral, the central transportation hub of the city, but if you take the time to stop and smell the roses (or Jasmine Flowers), you can see the beauty of the indian culture touching this place. There are the multiple Banana Leaf restaurants, shops selling spices, silverwear and garments from India, and of course the flower vendors.

Wanting to try new places to eat in the KL Sentral/Brickfields are, we decided to try this place. Allegedly famous for its Ikan bakar we were dissapointed to find out that that was only available in the evenings. Sigh. Located just behind the Monorail station, this place was not crowded at all at lunch time, which is a bad sign. It only had fried noodles and rice, and so we decided to give it a try. The hokien mee looked yummy, but alas the photo of it taken by my co-worker tak jadi. The other dishes, so-so. Rm5 per plate.

Was walking home from work when I saw this sign board and I just started laughing. Tell me the contractor is not an indian man named “Rani”, who will do “Ranivation” for you
