Things & Places Seen In San Francisco - Part 9A

One sunny day, we decided to head on out to Marin Headlands to do some serious walking and enjoy the sights at the same time. The place was beautiful, coupled with the great weather, I had a great time - getting a workout from all that walking and taking photos at the same time.

Enjoy the pics!


Before we reached Marin Headlands, we made pit stops along the way for me to take some photos ...

Friday Quick Bites @ Room Eighteen, Tropicana City Mall Petaling Jaya

Here's another quick post. part of my Friday Quick Bites series :o)

Met up with Karen and little Bryan over an early lunch at Room 18 a couple of months back. It was then that I first tried their congee. I have tried some other items on the menu before but I would say I enjoy their seafood congee with duck meat the best.

Seafood Congee with shredded duck meat
At RM11.80, this smooth and big bowl of congee comes with generous toppings as you can see.
I will probably only order this to eat when I drop by this place.

Typica Cafe, Shaw Parade Kuala Lumpur

OL, Soo and I went on a food journey not too long ago and Typica Cafe was our last stop for the day. However, this little and simple looking cafe won my heart over with its coffee and dessert. OL drove into the heart of town one weekday and we stopped here for a tea(coffee)time treat. We knew exactly what to order for dessert but we had to deliberate over the selection of coffee. However, once we told the staff what we wanted for dessert, the staff gave us some recommendations as to which coffee would pair well with it.


Ice Drip Coffee
We followed her recommendations and I ended up with the Guatemala Ice Drip Coffee. A frozen coffee ice cube is served in an empty glass. The staff then pours the coffee from a mixer into the glass before you.

Guatemala Ice Drip Coffee
The Guatemala Ice Drip Coffee (RM16) - Drank black, the aroma and flavour of the roasted beans were wonderful. It was full bodied and had a pleasant aftertaste with a bitterness that was just spot on without being too overwhelming. While I'm not a coffee aficionado or one who can analyse in detail, I do know that this was indeed a great glass of coffee.

And exactly what dessert did we order (this came highly recommended by OL who had tried it earlier and loved it!)?
