Few days ago, I am so hungry in the middle of the night completing my assignment that I decided to watch some food channels on YouTube so that I could imagine myself devouring all the delicacies while drinking plain water to fill my stomach #miserable. In the midst of browsing, I saw this very intriguing dish from Germany which is none other than the German Currywurst!

It is a traditional Berlin street food consisting of pork sausages (Bratwurst sausages) that are steamed, fried and cut into slices, topped with curry ketchup sauce, not to mention sprinkles of curry powder. Since it is practically impossible to get these in my hometown ( there is no German restaurants in my area), I have decided to persuade my mom to make it when I am going back. hehe

Hence, I have searched for the easiest German Currywurst recipe that I can find on Google. While there are so many versions of the Currywurst shop, I chose the ones where the ingredients are available in my hometown. After spending about half an hour, I felt that the Currywurst recipe on Finedininglovers.com meets my criteria,However, I will alter the recipe slightly to my likings. I am going to elicit the recipe below and hopefully it will turn out great when I attempt it at home. Stay tuned for ore updates. Till then, au revoir! :)

Several of my friends and I have decided to visit Chaiwalla & Co Honest Tea out of curiosity few days ago. Uniquely, the company uses container cafe concept, where the kiosk itself happens to be in a container which is located at Johor Bahru!

Renown photographer David LaChapelle has directed this amazing video of the eminent tattooed ballet dancer  from the Ukraine, Sergei Polunin dancing to Grammy nominated "Take Me To Church" by Irish singer Hozier.

Being one of the world's best, Polunin, at a young age of 19, was the youngest principle dancer of the British Royal Ballet. He, however, longed for a more carefree lifestyle, which ultimately led him to resign from his job. Currently, he is working with The Stanislavsky Music Theatre (Moscow) and the Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre (Novosibirsk) in Russia.

In the four-minute video, Polunin, who was donning in nude tights with tattoos covering his body, danced passionately in a spacious white room  illuminated by nothing but sunlight glimmering through the arched windows. His impressive artistry and skill were depicted through his stunning dance moves which create a spiritual effect.

Enjoy the video below and feel free to let me know your opinions about this video or the ballet dancer! On that note, I am going to end my post here. Till then, au revoir! :)

Having breakfast at Eight Lido restaurant on a sunny bright Sunday morning was indeed a pleasure. It is located at Pantai Lido, Johor Bahru. Eight Lido is in fact a British designed bungalow that is converted into a wine bar, restaurant and lounge. The restaurant was named after its location as well as  house number. There is a wide and beautiful garden outside the building with a somewhat very architectural building that is actually a washroom for the customers. The environment of the place is ambient which is a perfect spot for families to spend their weekend relaxing.






We have actually come to the restaurant previously but unfortunately it was closed for it was having a special occasion. Luckily, it was open during this visit. Despite their systems are having problems which required us to pay the exact amount of money, we insisted that it was alright for us.
After glancing through the menu, we ordered two sets of breakfast, namely the American Breakfast Set and the Grilled Mediterranean. Being a meticulous person, I noticed the fine lines at the bottom of the menu stated that we would be given a 10% discount should we check-in at Eight Lido in our Facebook account. However, the promotion was not valid as the system was down, hence we actually have to pay for the original prices!

The Menu

 We shared them amongst four of us and they were equally scrumptious! The scrambled eggs were soft not too runny, just the right texture that we loved. Also the salmons were fresh and tender, not to mention the delectable tomatoes that were coated with a layer of baked cheese! The sliced mushrooms were sauted well! Although the toasts were crispy, they were slightly too hard. Whereas the wedges and hash brown were similar to those in fast food chains. Overall, the food and place were incredible and I will definitely revisit the place in future. Without further ado, I will let the food speaks for themselves. Till then, au revoir! :)

Grilled Mediterranean RM15.00

Another leisure time, another cafe hopping session. Recently, my friends and I spent some our time at Maco Vintage cafe in Johor Bahru. The cafe's name is pretty much self-explanatory, that is the theme of the cafe is vintage. It is a double story building painted in dark green colour. At the front section of the building, the owner sells variety of cakes and I have to say that the price of the cakes are quite expensive, to the extend that they are slightly pricier than those in Secret Recipe.

Anyway, we went in and we could smell the aroma of the coffee spreading through the air. When we got to our seats, we ordered couple of drinks after browsing through the menus that were given by the waitress. The environment of the place was ambient and the seats were very comfy.


I have ordered the Matcha Milk Ice while the other two ordered Caff Brulee Van and Yoghurt Ice Blended Mango. In my opinion, the matcha milk ice is not too sweet and has a milky aftertaste as it consisted of both milk and green tea only. Meanwhile the Caff Brulee Van was too sweet for me although it was quite an interesting drink that the surface of the froth has this roasted flavour.

Caff Brulee Van RM12.00

Matcha Milk Ice RM10.00
