Papaya Thai @ Derby, United Kingdom

          It's the weekend again yeah!!!^^ Very lazy to cook so Mag and I went out for thai food haha.. Have noticed this restaurant when I first moved to Derby and the name 'PAPAYA thai' caught my attention haha. Besides that, since I came to UK, apparently thai food is the most common food I have eaten in UK ^^

Prawn cracker ('Keropok') as an appetiser!!^^ 



wefie time again hehe!!^^





Chicken Green Curry and Jasmine Rice (£8.50 and £2.50 respectively)



Pad Thai (£ 7.00)

                                               Fried banana (pisang goreng) with ice-cream ^^ (£5.00) for dessert

I think that the green curry was yummy!! There is a choice of how spicy you want the curry to be either medium spicy or spicy. I choose it to be medium spicy. If you want to challenge the spicy type then choose the spicy one. I think the pad thai is only so-so. The dessert was special and I have not eaten fried banana for so long!!OMG haha ^^

Breadfruits @ Sri Hartamas, Malaysia

The Breadfruit Restaurant is based on a healthy concept and to encourage people to eat healthy by eating more fruits and to obtain a balance diet. First heard of this restaurant when wt and I was planning to grab something for lunch but we didn't managed to go that time as we went somewhere else. 

Got to come to this restaurant the following week with my other friends and once we arrived, there was a queue for it. Fortunately the line wasn't long and we went in quite quickly. 

BREADFRUITS

In case there isn't any place or you are going as a big group, you can make a booking in their Facebook page which operate via TableApp.com





There used to be fruits in this corner but they renovated it so more seats are available.



Pomegranate Passion Honey (RM25.90)

Chardonnay Tuna Basil Pasta (RM20.80)

Roasted Banana Bacon Fresh Toast with Passion Wild Honey(RM22.80) (not a big fan of this)

Smoked Salmon Breakfast Platter served with juice of the day and coffee/tea (RM25.80)
       I personally liked the Pomegranate Passion Honey drink best!! Love the combination of sweet and sour!!! Yummy but it was rather costly!! The food was only alright in my opinion..

Morningwood @ SS15, Malaysia

          The name 'Morningwood' is an interesting name for a cafe and was even listed in an article as one of 6 weird names of actual cafes in the Klang Valley (website).  Besides that, I was told by my bff that the co-founders of this cafe are YouTube celebrities!! Out of curiosity, I decided to visit the cafe!!!
