Of Cravings & Pink Day!

Girls love desserts. Sweet stuffs. If you're a girl and you dislike sweet stuff, then you're probably one of a kind, not in a bad way; just probably, different. :P

It's always nice to top and sugar-coat your weekday with some good food and satisfy your raving cravings when work bogs you down like a gunny sack filled.

And, this was what we rewarded ourselves with on a midweek Wednesday!

Cravings, One Utama

We ordered several dishes to share amongst ourselves so we could have the best of all worlds haha!

1. Chee Cheong Fun

If I'm not mistaken, this is somewhat a pork-roll chee cheong fun. The sambal at the side was tasty and had the slight kick which allowed us to pair it with other dishes that we ordered.


2. Siu Yok Fried Kuey Teow (their Special of the Day)

I am quite sceptical about siu yok dishes, hence, I have a handful of favourite stalls that I'd normally go to for siu yok. However, albeit the scepticism, this dish turned out to be quite appetizing. I, for one, do not like my siu yok to have a thick layer of fats - and this dish, definitely is 70% of how my favourite siu yok tastes like. You would wonder, where did the other 30% went? Its because this dish is on the oily end and the siu yok was quite moist and less crunchy when fried with the kuey teow.

Overall, the dish is quite oily. But taste wise, it was yummers! They were also very generous with their spring onions, and it was crunchy just the way I liked it!


3. Fried Yam Cake

This is a rather different kinda fried yam cake. First of its kind that I've tasted. The fried yam cake has the right amount of "wok hei" when pair with crunchy peanuts, deep fried long beans and also eggs, topped with some crispy dried prawns - Ahh! Perfecto!

Also, remember the sambal served at the side of the Chee Cheong Fun? This dish goes well with the sambal too!


4. Claypot Lou She Fen (Add egg)

Last dish of our lunch at Cravings is the infamous claypot lou she fun. This is their signature dish, fyi. Once again, the "wok hei" was well done and when mixed with the egg and minced meat, this dish emits such fragrance that would fill your nostrils with so much love hahaha!

Definitely a must try!


We ordered single portions for all of the above dishes. For 5 ladies, we were full to the brink! Definitely a satisfying place for your Malaysian cravings!

Photo below is just a shot of the ambience in the eatery.
I love how it resembles the old coffee shops those days, especially the photowall! Its like a coffee shop in a mall, only different that its much cleaner (ahem) and is air conditioned lol

Baskin Robbins, One Utama

On our way back to the office, we had to deal with another of our cravings.
Thank goodness it was Pink Day!

Double Jr Scoop for the price of one, YAY!


So, its the last week of August. Time is flying past like a bullet train. There's no other way to stop it than to live in the present and appreciate what you have right now! (:
