Nutritionist's Adventures

It is always good to have a bunch of foodies around me. This was one of the good time spent in Bofe Eatery in Section 19, near to ss2 area. Bofe is actually the abbreviation of Best Of Everything, serving mainly special western dishes in a warm and peaceful space. Thanks to Tiffany, another good dining place discovered. #gourmetfound

Goma Smoked Duck Breast, served with mashed potato, mushroom salad and roasted sesame sauce (RM 23.90)

Not a fan of duck but this is good. Bofe's signature.

Soft Shell Crab Pasta in salted egg cream, mushroom and cherry tomatoes (RM 21.90)

A sinful one indulged in cholesterol-packed salted egg yolk.

Risotto Al Frutti Di Mare, with prawn, squid, mussel, crab meat in tomato concasse sauce (RM 34.90)

Mushroom & Toast - sauteed fresh mushroom, garlic and toast (RM 14.90)

It will be good if this is less salty.

Duck Lychee Salad - smoked duck, lychee, mesclun mix, cherry tomatoes and roasted sesame dressing (RM 18.90)

What a special combination of duck and lychee.

They serve special dishes with a combination of different ingredients used in western and asian cuisines beautifully. Food portion is large, sharing will be good. There are cakes too, I would love to try their cakes and coffees someday!

As I age, I realized that taking care of the body is a lifelong business. I started to have regular appointment with optical centre (due to short-sightedness), medical check-up (once every 2-3 years), haircut or hair treatment, and dentist... one of the most important one for me.

A question to ponder, which part of your body you willing to invest the most in?

I had my orthodontic treatment with Dr Tan in my hometown, many many years ago. Even though hometown is the place where I find most comfortable with, the fact that I have been living in this bustle city in Malaysia had really sunk in. In a need to get a good service and good dentist for continuous check-up, I'd checked on some of the dental clinic nearby. Recommended by my girlfriend Tiffany, I visited the I-Teeth Dental Clinic in Kota Damansara.

Strategically located nearby Sunway Giza mall in Dataran Sunway, this neat and spacious, dental clinic with good services and facilities as well as comfortable environment were owned by a young and pretty dentist, Dr. Sia.

It was a very great experience with the doctor who is gentle and nice in explaining every procedure in details, before and after the treatment processes. I did scaling and polishing here (RM80-RM300).

Also, thank to her for giving very sincere advice on dental filling - I had silver tooth filling before I started my orthodontic treatment, which I feel it isn't very aesthetically appealing now, so I had the thought of replacing the silver tooth filling with white filling. Well, after a consultation session with the doctor I decided not to.

Here the clean and neat treatment/ surgery room with cutting-edged technology.

She is in the midst of expanding her treatment/ surgery room.

There is no need to worry about hygiene, all equipment are well-sterilized.

Also, no worry about the spotlight - by wearing a sunglasses.

I did the scaling and polishing without any pain.

The waiting hall is a very home-like designed area.

And even a indoor play space for kids to have fun. [Best to distract attention for a kid right?]

Professional tooth whitening treatment is also provided. Good price.

Other treatments include:

DIAGNOSTIC

PERIODONTICS

RESTORATIONS

TOOTH COLOURED RESTORATION

CROWN & BRIDGE

INLAYS & ONLAYS

ENDODONTICS

Out of so many globetrotters from all over the world, some opts for the urban space, enjoys being in the hustle bustle of the city crowds and shining light from skyscrapers; while some falls deeply in love with the peace and serenity found closer to the nature, least demanding for luxury stay or being a gourmand.

Partially a city dweller for now, I'm truly in love with the adventurous travel experience in Samosir Island. Thanks to AirAsia zero fare, I'd got return flight ticket to Medan with an extreme worthy price, which is only around RM100. :D

I don't really know where to go around Medan, this one of the largest city in Indonesia and also the capital city of the North Sumatra. Well it really can be boring if I spent all 5D4N in the city, without another 3 of my annual travel unimates. Thanks to my sweetie Izzati who had recommended me the right place to go, with reasonable price from a tour guide who brought us to hidden gems in the outskirt.

It took some time for us to get used to this map, really. Ahh and now I miss the feeling of getting lost in unfamiliar map.

We landed in Medan Airport, Kualalamu at night after a lit delay of the flight due to very bad weather. Picked up by Joe, our tourguide for the whole journey, as all the places in our itinerary couldn't be reached by public transport.

Transportation:

Spot his pity Toyota hurts so much. We can totally understand why it is so damaged after all the bumpy jumpy trip and someone vomited twice in the first day opppsss. He said he has to change his tyres in 2-3 months time. #ohwhat. Also spot the little number below the plate number which is the expired month and year of taxes.

Foods:

I couldn't recall what we all had during the journey except for nasi soto, or called as nasi padang. They almost served fried chicken and ayam penyet whereever we go. Hmm that's all I can remember now. Oh ya, not forgetting those extremely sweetened beverages, extra sugar added milo, ultra extra sugar added coffee. It will be good if we let them know "no sugar ya thank you".

One of the culture we experienced was... in some of the restaurant, they served all the food on our table but only what we ate will be paid. #thinkingaboutwhattodowithleftover

I kinda miss all the places that I had been to. So close to the nature.

Out of all, I wish I had spent longer time sitting on those hills with windy weather, having more view on top from the volcano, swimming in very clean and refreshing water, with people I feel comfortable being with. Gosshhh where's next #flyingthought.

There're so many volcanoes, waterfalls, lakes, hills in Indonesia and I'd just been to few. These are some that taken my breath away...

Favourite view #1: Menara Pandang Tele, Kabupaten Samosir

Weather:

17-19 degree celsius in Samosir and around Danau Toba.

I thought it wouldn't be that freezing cold but I was totally wrong especially at night. Well, a lot of physical activities so still not that bad. I went back home and flu attacked for some days.

Each place has a story to tell. I'm glad that we spent days away from the city, tried to understand their languages and culture, seeing how the children being brought up... I feel so good to be homed after that.

Thanks to Joe Dermawan, our tourguide for bringing us around. We will miss the Marshmello's song - Alone all the way, where'd you go - Fort Minor, the repeating unstoppable Bollywood song all the time, those crazy laughter and some stories during the bumpy journey.

You may need his contact if you plan to visit Medan Indonesia - Joe Dermawan, and let him know it's from Shanice. :)

I shouldn't be dragging so much right. #keepwriting

Can't wait till 2017 May and October!
