FOOD REVIEW (4)


Hey guys!

How are you guys?

I'm good. Thank you for asking.

I realized that you guys really like my food review posts because they were the most viewed post since last year.

So, this week I'm gonna do another food review. And this time, I'll be reviewing about Thai food.

This restaurant is called Mr.Tuk Tuk. I'm not sure where else have this restaurant but the one I went was in Sunway Pyramid (by this time you might think I like going to Sunway Pyramid...LOL).



Anyway, the decoration and the environment of the restaurant was okay for me (I'm not an interior designer, so my opinion might be wrong). And the service was also good. But I heard that when in peak hours, the place will be full. Fortunate for me, it wasn't full when I went the other day.

Let's talk about the food now, because this is a food review post..haha.

We (me and Syaffiq) ordered a few meal because we were starving at that time.


1. SM2 (This is the name of the set. It's not the name of Shawn Mendes' album...LOL)


Basically in this set it has a grilled chicken wrapped with Pandan leaf (if you don't know what is it, Google it), crispy fish fillet with Thai sauce, Thai Manggo salad and rice

The chicken was good. It was marinated with some special sauce (I think) that makes it delicious. The fish fillet was also good because the sauce on top of it is slightly sour, so the taste blends together with the rice. And the manggo salad is okay but nothing really special about it. I expect it to be maybe slightly spicy, though yes, normally it is not spicy but I thought they'll make it different. Just saying. LOL

2. Shrimp Pancake.


To be honest, I didn't expect it to be like this...haha, but not in a bad way because when it says pancake, I assumed it to be like mashed shrimp with flour and then cooked in a pan. Anyway, it's still good. You can really taste the shrimp. Even though it comes with its shell, but since it is deep fried for quite long, so it is crispy and you can eat it with the shell. But my tips, eat it with the Thai sauce because it can be queasy (I'm not sure if this is the right word...haha) after a few bites.

3. Seafood Tom Yam (of course). 


I would definitely buy a Tom Yam whenever I go to a Thai restaurant. Honestly, there isn't much I can say about it because for me, it's so good! You can taste the sourness, the spicyness and a slight of saltiness (again, I don't if this is the correct word...haha). The seafood was fresh, especially the prawn.

So, that's all I got for you guys this week. I hope you enjoy reading my reviews and maybe it'll give you an idea for your dinner plan.

Let me know what other restaurant or type of food you want me to try next and give a review.

TIPS ON HANDLING ANXIETY

Hola guys!

It me!

So this week, as you can see from the title, I'm back on another tips/how-to blog post, but of course they are not 100% my personal tips. They are combination of my own, a few research that I did and from my best friend, Aqwa...or should I say Dr. Aqwa (he's a legit doctor) 😆

Anxiety is something that almost everybody knows. Some people know from watching movies, from reading a book/article, maybe from family/friends and some people know about it because they have/had it.

This week I'm gonna share with you guys some tips on handling or overcome anxiety.

Pause*

I know it's kinda depressing that my third post in 2019 is something serious, instead of something fun, but sometimes in life we have to be serious and do some serious talk....LOL

Continue*

I know I'm not a doctor or psychologist and maybe I'm not actually qualified to do this but as I mentioned, I have done some research and I have a reference. I'm not saying that you must follow these tips but I believe it does help.

The reason why I decided to post this is because I realized that nowadays, our generation especially, are dealing with anxiety almost everyday. And one of the person is....yours truly.

But don't worry, ya boy is fine.

It's just a minor anxiety. Nothing serious, I don't need to go see a doctor or something.

Okay?

Okay. 👌

Now back to the topic.

I'm not exactly sure the cause of why our generation is dealing with anxiety and each person could have their own personal cause but I feel like the major reason is because of life demand (I don't if it's the correct term). Everyday we see a lot of people doing great things, achieving their goals and living the dream. So we feel like we should be doing the same thing but the truth is, not everyone have the same talent or opportunity or sources. Hence, we stressed ourself, instead of trying to find the correct path or finding our own talent and sources.

Anyway, I don't wanna preach or lecture. All I wanna do here is to share some tips.

So without wasting your time, here's the list of tips to handle anxiety:

(Please take note that all these tips are general, not specified for a certain condition.)

  1. Free your mind.
    You can do activities like meditation, listen to music or go get yourself a massage or even learn some relaxation techniques. These things can help you forget your problem, maybe not permenantly but at least for some times.
  2. Limit your alcohol and caffeine intake.
    Both can worsen your anxiety and trigger panic attacks. So, it's a no-no for both of these.
  3. Eat well-balanced meals.
    Make sure to not skip any meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Keep in hand some healthful, energy-boosting snacks. I repeat, HEALTHFUL, not fattening snacks...LOL.
  4. Exercise daily.
    Mentioning healthful, doing some exercise daily can help make you feel good and also help maintaining your health. To find out what types of exercise, you can Google it because I aint got time to list it....haha
  5. Count to 10 slowly.
    I repeat, SLOWLY, because it's not gonna work if you count too fast. And also, repeat it or count to 20 if necessary. This will help calm you down when you start feeling anxious.
  6. Welcome humor.
    Laughing can also help keeps your mind off your problem or anxiety. Honestly, it does help.
  7. Be positive.
    Change your negative thoughts to positivity.
  8. Do your best.
    Sometimes, there are things that is beyond our reach or impossible to achieve. It's okay, be proud of however close you get. As long as you have done your best, it's good enough.
  9. You can't control everything.
    Before you get stressed out, think for a second, is it really as bad as you think?
  10. Be a part of something.
    Involve in volunteering or something that will get your mind off the things that stresses you out everyday. It can also creates a support network.
  11. Identify the cause.
    Try to find out what triggers your anxiety, is it work, family, school or something else? Whenever you get anxious, write it your diary or journal and see the pattern. Once you have identified, then you can find a way to handle it.
  12. Talk to someone.
    Let your family or friends know that you're feeling overwhelmed, and maybe they can help you or you can let them know how they can help. Physician or therapist is also a way for you to get a professional help. Which brings us to the next 2 points.
  13. Medication.
    It is called anxiolytics. This is what normally doctors will give if you have anxiety disorder. I'm not gonna elaborate on this part because honestly for me, medication should be the last resort. But it's just my opinion.
  14. Cognitive behavioral theraphy.
    This is a type of theraphy in which doctors or medical specialist correcting a specific idea that is wrong in the patient's mind. They are doing this by rationalizing what is right into his/her mind. It's kinda like no.8 but this is with professional help.

So that's all the tips that I have for you all this week. I hope it'll help you or the person you know.

Let me know if there's other tip that I left out or share with me your own ways to handle anxiety.

FOOD REVIEW (3)

Hye guys

It's me again.

Hope you're not bored of me 😆

So, this week I'll be doing yet another food review, because I'm out of idea...LOL

I was immediately said yes to Syaffiq earlier when he asked me to grab some lunch...haha..that's how desperate I am to get a content. 😂

Anyway, so today I'll be reviewing about this new (not really, it's already opened for like 3 months) restaurant called Stuff'd. It is located in Sunway Pyramid, on the lower ground 2.

It is basically a small restaurant that sell mexican/turkish meal.


The restaurant itself, is quite nice. It is small but luckily the seats are enough.

Regarding the food, they have kebabs, burritos, tacos and enchiladas.



Long story short, me being a typical person, bought beef burritos. The vegetable, you can choose lettuce and/or tomatoes. I chose lettuce...just lettuce because I hate tomatoes and there's also sour cream (I don't really know why they put it under vegetables). For the sauce, you can choose up to 2 from 5 choices. I chose smoky bbq and mayonaise, I wanted to choose habanero, but unfortunately they are out of stock 😕....


Before I continue with this, I should tell you that I have never had burrito before, so my choices might be not the exact suitable choice for burrito, but whatever, it's my choice...😝

Moving on....

And now, the toppings. There 5 types of topping and you can choose all of it or less. So, since I'm worried it will be too many and since I'm not familiar with most of it, I decided to choose cilantra rice and mashed potato. And holy crap, the portion was super big. As my friend, Aqwa, said, it is as big as my stomach 😂.

Finally, you can choose either you want drinks or not. Of course I chose yes.


Now let's talk about the taste. The first bite you take, you will taste the tortilla and then the cilantra rice with the mashed potato. cilantra rice is delicious and also the mashed potato, it was not too salty but not tasteless, it's just nice. The beef was tender and well cooked. My sauce choices was not bad actually, though yeah, if there's some spicyness (not sure if it's the correct word or spelling), it will be much better, but overall, it was good 👌.


Aqwa said I couldn't finish it, but I showed him, I finished that f***ing burrito, though I almost fainted (just kidding) because I was so fulled.

So yeah, if you are around Sunway Pyramid and wanna try something different, I would definitely suggest this place.

That's all I got for you guys this week. I hope my review is doing justice enough because honestly, I'm writing this in less than 24 hours, so you know what I mean. And I probably post this pretty late, but whatever.

I hope you guys enjoy this week's post. Please suggest if there's a place where I should try and review their food.

Leave your suggestion in comments below. Share this post to your hungry friends. And follow BATC for more post.

Love Always,

Zac
