How Do You Like Your Coffee?

I think this was Cafe Latte..
Before Starbucks and all the other fancy coffee shops became famous, coffee to me were just Kopi 0, Kopi or Nescafe. Then few years later, White Coffee became famous. Then now, being seen at Starbucks is the craze and you are assaulted with all these fancy choices of coffee.  

Ever wonder what's the difference between Espresso, Cappuccino, Cafe au Lait, Cafe Latte and Machiatto?

 1. Cafe Au Lait

 It is simply 50% brewed coffee and 50% warmed milk. You might get a little foam on top, but its actually thinning the strong coffee with a generous amount of warm, creamy milk.

 2. Latte

 It is espresso + steamed milk. Lattés are made with a shot (or three) of espresso poured into the bottom of a mug and topped with steamed milk and a thin layer of foam. Some people prefer to add the espresso last so it that sinks through the milk and foam instead, but the idea is the same.

 3. Cappuccino

 Espresso + lots of FOAM milk + little bit of milk. This gives you a much stronger coffee flavor. Some people say the key to a good cappuccino is really excellent foam.

4. Machiotto

 If you like really intense coffee flavor, try one of these! It's simply a shot of espresso topped with a little foam - no milk! 

 5. Espresso

 Flavourful coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling, water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to a consistency between extremely fine and powder. 

 Its amazing how when you change the ratio of milk (foam, steamed) and coffee, it became a different type of drink. I find it quite complicated and most of these fancy coffees are either too strong or too weak, too bitter or creamy. 
Oh well, i'm just happy with my Nescafe 3 in 1. Tear, pour, add hot water - viola!

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu.

Makanan Sebagai 'Metabolism Booster'?

Kenapa oatmeal mesti ada dalam senarai? Arghhhhh! Orang asyik sebut metabolism sana metabolism sini tapi uols tau tak apa itu metabolism? "Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy, which your body needs to function."  Even masa kita rehat ke tido ke, badan masih perlukan tenaga untuk fungsi yang 'unconscious', seperti bernafas, mengalirkan darah, adjust hormone level dan sebagainya. Tenaga yang digunakan untuk support aktiviti badan seperti ini kita panggil Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)  Selain BMR, 2 faktor lain yang menentukan kadar penggunaan tenaga/ kalori seharian anda adalah: 1. Pemprosesan makanan dalam badan ( thermogenesis) - Proses mengunyah, pencernaan, penyerapan dan penyimpanan makanan ini memerlukan 100-800 kcal sehari.  2. Aktiviti fizikal — sesais la uols. Berjalan, berlari, zumba, jogging, menggeletis dan pelbagai jenis pergerakkan juga melibatkan penggunaan tenaga.  Sis tak mau cerita ...

Sikit Lagi Mau Jadi Hulk

I always consider myself to be a mild-mannered person. Sometimes people, especially those who doesn't really know me that well said they never saw me get angry. They described me as someone cool and calm. Most of the time, i don't get angry that easy but i'm human okay, i do get angry. When i'm annoyed, angry or plain moody, only those close to me knew, especially my dear friend, Anne  I don't have to say a word, she only need to look at my face. I used to think that i have a high patience-threshold but lately, i think something shifted and lowers the threshold. Last week i find myself super irritable, angry and snapped at those who annoys me. I don't know why of all the days, those friends all choose the same day to test my patience. I'm sorry i raised my voice at you guys :p Maybe i should do yoga or something to calm myself down . Or attend anger management courses. Or something like that... Ya, i look like that when i'm angry. All o...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...
