Short posts of simply things that (might) make me live in a joyful world.
Small Sweetness This Sunday.
Hola fellas! How was your Monday? Did you pass it with some enjoyment!?
There’s two things that make me glad today. First, I got a warm hug from my sweet boss Madam Uche this morning (She’s back yeah!). She comes back to work after spent 3 weeks in London – Italy – Dubai (envy! hiks) for short vacay. Second, I have time to write this post (*jump around). I’m glad I could come home on time today and yes you’re right, I will spend time for this one. I’ll spread sweet enjoyment foya all!
Like what I mentioned from previous post that I’ve been enjoying my Sunday as long as I could, so these are the sweetness I’m talking about. I tried my first sweet, Dark Chocolate ice cream from Cold Stone Creamy. An American based brand that just opened here makes me curious not only the look of their various ice cream. My curiosity is on the taste and the way they present their ice cream as well.
As a chocolate lover I chose one scoop of dark chocolate served with coated crispy waffle, sprinkled with almond and choco chips (that was extra choice, extra price also *glek). They have different ingredients that stick on coated chocolate. Don’t know why I chose roasted coconut rather than mashed cashews (that coconut was too sweet for me, yikes). I enjoyed the almonds and choco chips for sure (was it just my reason that almond is healthier than other choices huh?). Overall my first sweet was nice with some notes, I should take tooth brush to clean up my teeth after enjoyed that frozen chips (they were sticked well ouch), and took a cup of spring water to refresh from the sweetness.
My second sweet was a funky coffee with raspberry syrup from Chocolate Royal, the cake and coffee shop that I always buy my fav pastry ever, croissant. I love the way they created syrup, milk, coffee and marshmallow foam cream into some layers beautifully. The best thing from the fusion of that coffee and syrup wasn’t too sweet (the sweetness from ice cream before was enough for me hehehe). I didn’t order snack or something while I was busy capturing that coffee (heh, that’s me, I would ignore my foods until I got perfect pics, that’s bad rite? hehe). Nope, me and my flatmates were spent just 45 minutes there that’s why we didn’t eat much.
And the last was Macarons! Mini ones, bite size. I got it from Chocolate Royal also and they were nice, not too sweet. I brought them home and enjoyed this morning. You can see from the lighting on my pics easily. If I remember Macaron I always think about Pierre Hermé Paris when Macaron was created for the first time. O damn! I will taste them when I reach Paris someday (*wink).
Hohoho, That’s it. As I said I will step back a bit from blogging until I’m finish with big project that will be done by first week of April. And probably I will post that project here. Hehe, I will. Alright, time to enjoy these sweetness!
Sunday Breakfast.
O gosh today is Sunday (again?), time goes too fast for me *sigh. Even I couldn’t believe that tomorrow is Monday (again!!) and gonna be my hectic days ahead.
Hey friends in Indonesia! By the time you read this post is Monday rite? Hehehe, I know that I post a bit late. I tried to enjoy my Sunday as long as I could truly. O yeah, starting from this post I don’t put small watermark anymore like what I did on my previous posts due to make this blog friendlier (Argh I have no better sentence to describe what Im thinking of *sigh).
Alright I just can share what my breakfast was. They were super simple fried rice that I cooked with mushroom sauce added sweet corn and carrot (Ah why I didn’t put more colors on it so It would be eye-catching and fresher!), two ‘sunny-side up’ fried eggs one for me and one for my flatmate, some vanilla biscuits, wheat baguette (put skippy on it!), tea, and croissant. Were they too much for breakfast? No no, I couldn’t eat them all in the same time, just ate some fried rice and egg, then two slices of baguette, one biscuit and yeah! croissant after. That croissant was nicer than what I got at cake shop on Victoria Island.
Probably this post will be the last for this month because what? I have to work harder and faster for my big project two weeks ahead which is early April. But I’ll try to update this blog when I less busy. Ouch it past 10pm I’m yawning, need more time to sleep so I can wake up fresher for my Monday (hoam…).
See ya in April!
Full Breakfast Today.
I post this while my tummy is starving and waiting for dinner (hiks), it’s so late right? Hehe, but I think it’s better than I just lay these pictures on my system. Anyway what did I serve this morning? Vegy chicken soup, Spinach pasta to replace basmati rice, tea, and look I had cinnamon roll and chocolate jelly for the dessert, look nice ya?
I love the cinnamon roll has raisins and crispy almond on top, just remind me J.Co donuts, I do love the way I took the pic as well. I have no clue why I have to wake up earlier and serve this full breakfast then capturing em’, It could be the sign of my other ‘passion-passion‘, perhaps (wink).
Super Simple ‘Take-away’ Breakfast.
Had short time (again) preparing breakfast this morning until I decided to ‘Take-Away’ (such a fast food ha! hiks) and brought them to office. By the time I arrived, let’s eat yeah! I was so hungry since last night and had time to cook this super simple garlic spaghetti served with poached eggs and spiced beef. O yeah I love the sunset color from my tomato juice, looks so fresh ya! See what I did with that juice, I putted it inside my unused Nescafe jar, don’t throw away you still can use it for sure. #SimpleJoy
Dark Choco Lover.
Dark chocolate has recently been discovered as a healthier version of chocolate and I do believe that. When I found some of heavenly snacks contain dark one I grabbed them suddenly. No regret brewing a cup of bitter tea and enjoy my blogging time with these three awesome snacks ; Cadbury Fingers, Kit-Kat and my best wafer ever, Loacker. #SimpleJoy.
Quick Breakfast.
I had no proper breakfast this morning (I should have ya!) unless a simple and quick one. Two sweet buns with honey, Gluten-free Alpro Soya milk, and a small cup of Avocado. All happened just because I woke up late (hiks) spent night for blogging and chatted with my old friend from Holland (yawning). #SimpleJoy
Blogging Time.
Yeah, yesterday I enjoyed myself, just stayed at home, did some passionate works and yeah, Blogging Time is one of #SimpleJoy isn’t it?
*What did I do yesterday? I’ll post it later. Excited.
A Baby (Foodblogger).
#SimpleJoy is had time to capture foods.
*My flatmate took my pic when I was capturing my fruits, lovely isn’t it?
Late Sunday Breakfast.
A simple version of English breakfast : Fried egg, whole bread (toasted), grilled cocktail beef and chicken sausages (spiced with black pepper and butter, and poured O oil), lemon tea, and yeah, colorful fruits! Nyum even I ate late breakfast! #Simple Joy.
See em’ closer, tarra!
Then…
Happy Sunday!
