Sunday Breakfast for One
The Bald Eagle left last night for Athens to pay homage to his favourite football team, Liverpool FC, as they meet AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League finals on May 23 (May 24 in KL).
So Sunday breakfast turned out to be a lonely one. I was in Bangsar this morning, and came across a tiny stall (it’s more of a table, really), at the junction of Jalan Telawi and Telawi 4, with packets of nasi lemak piled high.
A packet, wrapped first in banana leaf, then in brown paper, contains rice cooked in coconut milk, fried anchovies, roasted peanuts, a quarter of a hard-boiled egg and yummy sambal which has the right balance of chilli and sweetness. All for RM1 (that’s approximately US$0.25!).
My husband is half way across the globe to his destination right now, but I bet the food on his flight doesn’t taste half as good as my humble nasi lemak.
Just Heavenly Pleasures
I first tasted Just Heavenly’s cakes at Carcosa Sri Negara. It was a tasting session. One bite, and I was in love. I was greedy for more, but Pretty Pui slapped my wrists and pulled me away from the cakes. That was also the first time I met Nigel Skelchy (co-owner of Just Heavenly together with Allan Yap) whose gregarious nature and uninhibited demeanour bowled me over, and I’ve been infected ever since.
When Nigel mentioned that Just Heavenly Pleasures had opened at Damansara Heights on May 11, I couldn’t contain my excitement. After tormenting Nigel for several days, begging him to deliver his cakes to me, I finally gave in to my desires by making a trip to Damansara Heights today.
Just Heavenly Pleasures not only sells cakes, but also takes flower bouquet orders and sells a nice range of chutneys and marmalades.
How does one make up one’s mind when presented with attractive, tempting pieces such as these?
I couldn’t make up my mind; everything looked delectable, so Nigel helped me fill up this pretty box with tiny treasures.
I went overboard and selected this scrumptious assortment.
I couldn’t wait. I ate the chocolate durian cake immediately. How does one describe Heaven?
Congratulations, Nigel and Allan!
