Blogging about Christmas dinner in February when Chinese New  Year is just around the corner!! *shake head in disbelieve* But I guess it’s better late than never…

So, here it goes…

My Dear and I had to go back to Ipoh on Christmas itself and Dear had to go for our church’s caroling session.  Which means that we could not celebrate Christmas eve together. The solution to this is the carry forward our Christmas celebration.

The pre-celebration was on the 21st of December 2009, a Monday, over dinner. I wanted to try out this place called Souled Out in Hartamas and my Dear took me there for our Christmas dinner! Thank you Dear…

I vaguely remember my cousin and her then BF, now husband, brought my family and I there for dinner on one of our trips to KL when I was younger. I loved it then and I still loved it now.

The place was packed when we got there and we were given a place on the balcony upstairs! Super love that spot!

Here’s a view from where I was, seeing through the sheer clothes that wraps around the railings of the balcony –

The ambience there is quite nice too. Although there were lots of people there but the noise level was not disturbing or annoying. I’m not sure why is it that way, be it the place that we were seated, or the way things was arranged there, or I might just be in a good mood, but it’s plus.

Food was another thing about this place that stole my heart. They have a great variety to choose from and there are so many dishes that I wanted to try out. But I settled with their Guinness infused dish – Grilled Lamb Rack with Guinness Onion Relish.

Nice… I also fell in love with the side dish. Those baby cabbages and baby potato were so so cute!

It also comes with a complimentary pint of Guinness. I’m not a fan of beer but it’s free so why not.

Dear had steak which was superb but I think he stills prefer the steak in TGI Fridays.

I wanna dine in Souled Out again!! I wanna have these two dishes again and try out other dishes there!

US.

Can it be considered as a candle light dinner?

I have been holidaying so much in Ipoh during the half end of Dec that my blog was on holiday with me!

I have so many things that I wanted to blog about but couldn’t be bothered right now now that it is the happenings of LAST YEAR.

However there is one thing that I must keep a record about. I have blogged about the spirit of giving during Christmas so now, in this post, I want show my appreciation to those who have shown me the spirit of giving.

My very first Christmas present in 2009 is from Debbie. I really suck at ‘do not open until Christmas’ and I opened it once I reached home.

My second Christmas present is from my Dear.

Ain’t it a cutie??

I’ve been eyeing on it for, I think, a few month but never thought of actually buying it. Maybe I fantasized a bit but never had plans on buying it because it is so so expensive.

The most special part of this bear-rug is its fur.

Look! Roses on fur!

Thank you Dear…

Then I receive this lovely necklace from Addie before I leave Subang for Ipoh.

A pretty, dainty fairy necklace. Love it so much!

In Ipoh, my dear sis got me 2 tops from Body Glove.

Nice and casual, just what I need. Only the closest people can buy clothes that suits you in size and taste. =)

Next, I ordered my very very special toy few days past Christmas. And when I say special, it is very special to me.

I received it a week after my order. 

Hot red… Me likey…

This is my very first laptop which I have a special someone to thank. This post is the very first post I am writhing with my laptop.

It is so small, so convenient that I can easily slip it into my tote bag and I don’t have to be worried about being bored whenever I’m outside. I’ll bring it out to occasions that I might have to sit and wait for some time. =)

And and and…

Couple Laptops!!!!

My Dear’s is black and big; Mine is red and petite. Lovely…

I wanted to briefly write about my Christmas dinner with my Dear but I think that will be too much for this post. I think the Christmas dinner will just have to wait till the next post then…

Met up with Addie and Kalash for tea this afternoon at this great place called Wondermilk in Damansara Uptown. I am so so in love with this place!

Every corner of this place is so nicely done up.

A view of the bar counter where you order and pay for your food.

A cozy lil corner.

The furniture here are not synchronized at all. It looked like the owner were running out of budget and decided to get their furniture at various junk yard sales.

Although I sound like I’m mocking but I’m not. It’s actually a good thing because it added a touch of uniqueness to this place. I think the furniture here are mostly old ones. Notice the maroon coloured sofa at in the picture above? It looks like the sofas we used to sit on while waiting for our turn to see the doctor when visiting a clinic.

A more creative and livelier corner of the cafe. Kids would love it!

And they didn’t forget the washroom… The roughness of the wall and its colour gave it some ‘attitude’, don’t ya think?

Now for the spotlight of this place, as I perceive it, is —

It’s adorable cup cakes! Don’t they look pretty??

I just heart this one. It’s called strawberry dream.

Can’t help it…. Must camwhore with it before it disappears into my mouth.

Oh ya, not forgetting the baked potato here. It’s heaven…. Hmm…

It comes with a salad too. I know it doesn’t look much in this pic but it is heavenly… Love it love it love!!!!

I am so going back to this place!

Debbie, you should have come!
