Wondermama @ Bangsar Village

I realise I have been blogging excessively about Korean food so for a change this time it will be a review about Malaysian cuisine. I'm sure everyone is familiar about Wondermama which is a modern Malaysian cuisine restaurant located at Bangsar Village in the expatriate neighbourhood. This place serves famous Malaysian food with a modern twist and also Malaysian-inspired Western food.   

Located right next to Plan B near Jaya Grocer Supermarket.

 Come to Wondermama on the last Monday of the month and you will get good discount for your meal!

Daddy's favourite Nasi Lemak 2.0 with deep fried chicken, keropok, hard boiled eggs, peanuts, cucumber, ikan bilis and sambal petai. The highlight would be the fragrant rice boiled with coconut milk which is quite exceptional. The fried chicken is similar to Japanese style deep fried chicken which comes in friendly bite-sized pieces. It is exactly what a good crispy fried chicken should look and taste like. You will rarely see sambal petai with nasi lemak but it is a good add-on because both my mum and I love sambal petai.

3 layer tea. A good drink to quench your thirst.

Macha Soy Milk. My favourite <3. However, this soy drink already has sugar added into it. I would prefer soy milk without any sugar. 

Super Hor Fun ordered by my mum. This tastes almost similar to curry chee cheong fun and is quite delicious according to my parents. Those who like curry chee cheong fun would love this.

Malaysian style breakfast set ordered by me! Not too bad but I still prefer the English style breakfast set. I love the fact that the breakfast set is served with sambal and chili sauce which is something new. I also love the baked beans with the additional tomato paste sauce. I shall do the same when I prepape my own English Breakfast set next time.

OOTD.

Overall, Wondermama is indeed a right place to enjoy Modern Malaysian food with good value (compared to other expensive eateries in Bangsar). However I still think that Malaysian food tastes the best if you enjoy it at hawker stalls in chinese kopitiams or in the back alleys. Nicely prepped meal with delicate presentation is just not the way Malaysian food is usually served. When Malaysian food comes into my mind, the image is always something related to an old uncle with a push cart and food with rough presentation served in plastic bowls or plates. 

That's all!

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2013

Hi all! We just came back from Dataran Merdeka and both of us are very excited over the fact that we have just completed our first marathon ever. Both Hubby and I managed to finish the 10km run in probably less than one hour and we are really happy about it. The exact net time will be updated on the website within 24 hours after the run. We started from Lake Garden near the national monument, then passed by various landmarks such as KL Sentral, Little India and even ran on car-less highway before running back to Dataran Merdeka, where the finishing line is located. We started strong but eventually I had to slow down to catch my breath after running for 5km continuously. My abs started getting cramps halfway through the run as well. It was harder than I've imagined. Obviously outdoor running is a whole different thing compared to running on treadmill. Speed control is something I find really important if you are running for a long distance because you have to preserve your energy till the end.

The celebratory shot.

At the end of race, each of us was given one banana (athlete's best friend to prevent muscle cramp), one can of 100 plus and one finisher medal.

My body was on fire under the hot sun and the run had definitely drained all my energy out but the excitement was high. Never knew that running a marathon could be so fun until I finally joined one. I'm definitely in for another marathon next year. =) 

Hubby looking proud with his medal. Haha.

 The finishing line at Dataran Merdeka.

Taking a picture at the junction where it was supposed to be clogged with cars and motorbikes. 

 Hubby lying in the middle of the road as if he owns it. Haha.

Me posing for the camera happily at the zebra crossing.

 Funny and lovely motivational messages by some random people before the finishing line.

Was so happy and relieved to see the 9km distance marker but then the remaining 1km felt like forever. However once we crossed the finishing line together, the tremendous sense of accomplishment that we had was something that made this event memorable.

Update: Us crossing the finishing line together. Haha.

Subway for our post-marathon meal. Cheers!

That's all! My burning legs now deserve a long good rest. =)

Weekly Meal Update!

Another foodie post! Looks like it has been a routine for me to update my home-cooked meals. I think part of the reason is because I love to see my blog flooded with food pictures. It doesn't change the fact that I'm a glutton though I have been eating clean for months.

Wholemeal egg sandwich.

Grilled salmon with brocolli.

Again, English breakfast set with sunny side up and scrambled egg.

Super healthy Bibimbap with mixed grain rice and plenty of vegetables.

Japchae or stir fry sweet potato starch noodles with veggies.

Baked chicken marinated with turmeric powder, stir fry veggie and some left over Japchae.

Wholemeal wrap with egg, cheese and lots of lettuce.

That's all I have for now!

P/S:

Finally done packing for my first ever marathon tomorrow. So excited!

Will blog about my first marathon experience so stay tune!

Spicy Korean Rice Cake (Tteokbokki) 떡볶이에요!

오늘 한국어학교에 떡볶이를 먹었어요. 이떡볶이는 아주맛싰어요. 너무너무좋아해요!

Today's Korean language class was extremely fun because we were treated to homemade spicy Korean rice cake made by a couple of Korean housewives at the language centre. It was my first time trying homecook Korean food and it tastes so different compared to the usual tteokbokki we have at Korean cuisine restaurants. Nothing can beat homecook food really. Today also marked the the end of our level 1B classes. Hubby and I will be starting level 2A classes in three weeks time! =D

 Tteokbokki in a cup. So delicious! The tteokbokki was cooked and served to us on the spot!

Me being very excited to try the Tteokbokki.

 Hubby looking like a gluttony here but in fact he never ate the Tteokbokki as he was having sore throat.

Enjoying every bite~

Om nom nom~

A picture of the ingredients before cooking. There were fish cakes, Korean dumpling, hard boiled eggs, spring onions, cabbage, Korean ramen and korean rice cakes. I absolutely love the fried Korean dumpling stuffed with sweet potato starch noodles, also known as Mandu (만두) in Korean. The dumplings were made by my Korean teacher's wife. It was my first time trying Korean dumpling and they were super super delicious!

Tteokbokki in the making!

 Korean housewives busy making Tteokbokki!

Guess what Hubby brought for me today? My favourite fitness magazines!

Plus he also bought high calcium milk for me today! Thanks hubby! <3

I hereby announce that my 7th clinical placement is finally over. Will definitely miss all the patients at the rehab centre I was posted to! I've gained so much experience and knowledge thanks to the patients and senior physiotherapists!

Group photo with UNIKL and Sime Darby students! Miss them already!

That's all for today's update! All I want to do now is rest and fully enjoy my carefree days as a physiotherapy student.
