Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger

This is just a random bun from the stopover on the coach to KL. It was just a mayo slathered thing with some spicy dried shrimps on top. The weird thing about those dried shrimps was that they tasted hollow. It was as if, those shrimps were just shells and I had a feeling like I was biting into something akin to cockroaches. It sure felt a little unnerving.

Dropping by at Zang Toi West 57th St. Cafe (LGF 032, Lower GF Bukit Bintang Plaza (BB Plaza), tel : (603) 21485563) in Sungei Wang, we saw their signature banana chocolate cake on display and decided to give it a go. The soft dark brown cake came in a pretty generous portion with pieces of banana in between the layers and then drizzled over with some chocolate sauce. Upon tasting, I realised that more of the chocolate flavor came from the sauce rather than the actual cake. It was heated up before serving and turned out pretty good with that scalding hot soft bananas. There was also a drink that was a float in a mixture of ginger tonic and blended green mango juice that was quite refreshing as well. Against the common grain of drinks that are usually served, this wasn't excessively sweet and actually did something for thirst. Something that I should bear in mind the next time I want get a drink down in that mall.

Here's a pecan topped cinnamon roll from Cinnabon down at Plaza Low Yat (B.G1, GF Low Yat Plaza, Bukit Bintang, tel : (603) 21483651) . Apparently, it's another one of those internationally franchised cinnamon roll places. These cinnamon roll joints back home seemed to have disappeared since the days of Saint Cinnamon (does anyone recall them?) which I thought was pretty good when you ate them fresh. These ones were pretty similar to those which came in a variety of toppings. Though it was quite strange that the cheese version came with powdered Parmesan cheese. It still tasted slightly lukewarm and not too stiff so this one came from a batch that was probably done in the morning. The pecans were still crunchy as well.

And this would be a strawberry lamington from Starbucks down at the front of Berjaya Times Square while I was actually trying to get my double grande mocha. What piqued my curiosity was the big shreds of coconut that coated the cake instead of the usual thin dessicated bits. Well, it was just a regular cake as I had expected with some weak strawberry jam in the middle, but the coconut was really what mattered to me and redeemed the lamington by itself.
