BR Rum Raisins Halal or not?

I was going through the comments and there is this comment asking me about Cafe Barbera halal or not, and that question remind me of my promise to get back to you guys about Baskin&Robin's Rum & Raisins status.

I already emailed the correct person on this matter but I also plan to go to their branch and just casually ask for a cert or explanation to see the staff reaction and feedback. Truth is, I don't have the time and don't even more stock up my icecream anymore because my fridge is full with my EBM! (and this remind me that I need to buy new fridge). Not only icecream, my fridge also don't have the usual house food - chicken, beef, fish, whatever..gahhh! Ok back to the topic.

So since I don't think I'll do the asking investigation anytime soon, I'll just share with you guys the feedback that I got from BR team ok? In any case it helps ;)

Below is the screenshot of my email




If you still unsure with the credibility of the answer, you can go search further - mencari yang halal adalah kewajipan (I keep on reminding myself because so many food nowadays and so tempted to eat them without any conscience).

Till then, have a nice Friday everyone!!

Pizzalicious in Cafe Barbera

Had wanted to try this cafe for so long but we just couldn't find the perfect time for it. I mean it's located in Jalan Maarof, near to my office so lunch is fine but I want it to be dinner for the first time. And dinner is impossible as Bangsar is far from our house with little one.



And finally! I managed to try it out, but not for dinner and not with MrComot! Haha. It was an impromptu lunch with my office girlfriends. We wanted to eat somewhere different than usual as one of girls is getting married and it's some kind of bachelorette lunch for her. We were in the car driving on jalan Bangsar, can't decide where to eat, so we said, Chilis lah tapi bosannn and then I on my GPS and just search nearby eating place and saw Cafe Barbera in the list! And that's how I remembered that I wanted to try that cafe and the rest is history.

It was the first time for the girls as well, so we tried as much as we can from the menu hehe.

The menu


Appetizer - Toast with cheesy prawn dip. This is yummilicious and addictive! I wish we didn't share this so that I can wallop all! Haha

Another appetizer - Italian meatbal ooh oohh so succulent! Seriously sedap! The meatball is soo soft and well infused with the tomato and herbs. Nyum!

We tried 2 pizzas and 1 spaghetti for the main.


Spaghetti Vongole (clams with Pesto sauce). I don't quite like this because it is too thick to me.


Spicy Tuna Pizza

Smoked Salmon with Arugula Pizza

And tell you what, it is the best pizza I ever had!!! Both of them! I can't really describe the taste but I love love love the pizzas so much! I'm not a pizza person and I don't really know how to appreciate pizza, but this one is real good that make me feels like I can gobble all of them on alone. Seriously!

We also tried their coffee, affogatos, and dessert. Pretty normal stuff to me.

The place quite small but cozy and I can see most of the patrons are quite 'high-standard', looking at their office attire and cars in the parking lots (Camry, BMW, etc). Price wise is not that expensive (but I will say a bit on expensive side with that kind of portion - yes, the portion is relatively small) but I don't mind paying it for that pizza!

I'm so going to bring MrComot there, and will only order their pizza! NYUM!

I Wanna Do Bad Things With You

We just finished watching True Blood Season 2 last night (despite of it is working Monday on the next day) and it's awesome!

I not only fall in love with the story but also mad love with the opening song! It's "Bad Things" by Jace Everett.


I normally will skip the opening song straight to the story so that I can save time but not with TB! It has its own charm, the lyrics, the voice - so so sexaaay! And I also love the opening credit, it's a random images that all add up make me think of craziness, weirdos, hippies, and a little bit of 70s! It is indeed a perfect match for the show. I find myself enjoying the song to every bits of it together with the opening credit. Everytime after watching the opening song, I will say to MrComot, "sedap kan lagu ni? Suara dia so cool and sexy!"



"I wanna do real bad things with you"


When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm not a fan of vampire stories but this story is awesome in its class - it's wild and fresh, not the disgusting wild, and full of craziness and weird stuff that I find appealing and a turn on! Haha like seriously. It does make me wanna do bad things hehehe

We have another 1 season for TB, few eps on Chuck, V and Big Bang Theory..then we might need to scout for new series to fill the gap. Hmm thinking of watching Eureka, but see la how. I tried to watch Dollhouse but it bore me to death haha.


So this is my current series that we are having


Last but not least, Bad Things is addictive! :D

My 9-months Chewer

All of us were under the weather, pretty bad that I had to take emergency leave again 2 days ago. It started with MrComot, then crawl to me and totti! Poor my little baby. But luckily it's only mild fever for her last night, and totally gone this morning, so I decided to go to work today as there are so many thing to do *sigh*.

Things also has been pretty hectic that I forgot to update about Zahra! Sorry sayang, you already 9 month plus now.

She started to crawl steadily 1 week before she reached 8 months but can't sit yet which totally the opposite. The crawl abilities is for 9-mo and sit is for 8-mo. Just for my note here so I'll remember this event in the future.

She can climb quite steadily that I don't have to really monitor her like before. Previously, she will climb anything she sees, the door, the fridge, the table, the chair - but doesn't know how to steady herself and how to sit back, which causing her to fall on the head but now, she knows how to stabilize her body and release the climb slowly.



Her favourite thing to do now is chewing on strings. She chews on my handbag's handle, the moomoo's tail, my pant's string, my camera strap..anything stringy she will go for it.

Giler candu makan tali seluar mummy


Her favourite toy for this month will be cloth pegs! And hanger! Hahaha. It's that easy to please her. Just let her play with the pegs and I get to do house chores in peace.


Hmm what else? She still has only 2 teeth, can climb steadily, can crawl very fast and can sit properly on her own about 2 weeks ago. She also knows how to wave her hand when we say bye-bye and clap both of her hand when we say tepuk-tepuk. But I don't think she understands what is tepuk, only that she finds it exciting to clap I guess, because I catch her clapping her hand sometimes while playing. She even claps my breast while BF! Oh ya, as for BF, no severe biting happen. She bites when she feels uncomfortable or not really hungry, so whenever she bites, I will say NO and pull my boob.

She also become extra clingy these few days where I can't leave her down at all. All she wants me to do is either sit with her..or lie with her..or carry her, which is impossible because I need to be up to finish my thing. So sometimes I just let her cry :(

This lady also learned how to improvise her tantrum. Previously she will cry and crawl to me in the kitchen if I leave her at the hall. But now...she will cry and crawl..half way! And cry cry cry expecting me to walk to her and pick her up! And won't stop crying until I pick her up tau. Haiyohh budak kecik! So witty lah you. Sometimes I give in, sometimes I let her cry until MrComot pick her up hehehe.


And this is her current fav sleeping position

She also loves to sleep on my chest but it wear me off because I have to force myself not to fall asleep so that I can remove her from me. Not that I don't want her to sleep like that, but nanti dia sakit2 badan..kesian pulak. I still practice co-sleeping because I'm a bit lazy to pick her up from the baby cot whenever she awakes for milk hehehe. I tried to separate her and it works, she will sleep in the baby cot, but it will be a bit tiring for me as I need to carry her onto our bed for milk and send her back to her cot after that.

Her hair still at the same speed and still look much like a boy ha ha ha. Never mind, take your time ok sayang.

I still didn't do any flash card or whatever-genius-baby-method because...I am lazy, can? Ntahla..I think not necessary yet kut. I know they are absorbing like sponge now but I don't really have the time for such commitment. So far I just point her to some things and let her touch it like flower, cat, etc. And also let her explore anywhere she wants to go. How about you mommies? Do you start teaching you babies at this age? And how?

Other than that, she pretty much an easy baby. Thank you sayang and mommy loves you!

The Pain is coming back :(

I was about to update on happy things today but something unexpected happens.

I got my menses back! What the ...

I've been menses free for 18 months and now is the time to say Hello best friend! I don't mind if it's normal one, but mine pretty hurtful for the first 2 days. It feels like the womb is scrunching and tell you what, sometimes I coudn't take it that I have to pop panadol menstrual. There was one time I had an outing with my friends, and I have to excuse myself to the ladies because I feel so nauseating and about to faint and guess what, I blackout in the toilet ok! For about an hour I guess. When I was back to the world, the cleaner lady already knocking the toilet door asking who's inside. And people said the pain will go away once you gave birth, how wrong are they! Now I'm starting to feel the tightening and mild pain already :(

I know there are some mommies who don't have their menses until they have 3 kids! How I wish I am like that.

Oklah..gotta calm myself first. Still can't accept this :(
