Log | Iftar at Kenny Roger's Roasters


Feels like ages since the last time we went to Kenny Rogers Roasters so it was indeed nice after trying their Ramadan offerings this year. Although I don't really like the fact that the chicken was served in that paper-like wrapper as the sauce tends to stick onto the wrappers instead of the roasted chicken itself.

My absolute favourite is actually their Grilled Chicken Chop with Black Pepper sauce! A must-try!

Log | Iftar at Serai Cafe, MyTown, Kuala Lumpur


One of the must-visit restaurant whenever I'm in the city is definitely Serai Cafe by Serai Group. The first spot that I went to several years ago was in Suria KLCC but I went to the one at MyTown Shopping Mall this time around as I needed to pick up some items from IKEA nearby (also getting real-life inspos for my small apartment) and of course, checking out Sheldonet to see latest Funko Pop! drops at the toy store.




For appetisers, I got the Serai Tasting Platter. The mushroom bruschetta is to die for!  




Next is their Creamy Penne Pesto Chicken! This is definitely my absolute favourite despite the fact that I'm actually lactose intolerant but I don't care! lol




Sticking with basics, my cousin went for their Spaghetti Chicken Aglio Olio. Not bad, actually!




Another safe choice which is their Nasi Kerabu but this is actually one of my favourite too so you can't go wrong with this. So yummy!


 


For desserts, I've ordered their desserts of the day! Perfect for buka puasa!





Overall, everything was so nice especially we were served by their friendly waiters who also originated from East Malaysia. Felt like home while being away is indeed refreshing.

Log | Rearranged My IKEA Billy Bookcase

 



It's Sunday and I just woke up figured I want to rearrange my bookshelf after putting it off my list of chores after so long and especially when bunch of manga just arrived yesterday.




I've been wanting to get another bookcase but I'm really out of space in my hobby room so for now I'm going to try maximise the little space that I have in my existing shelves. I've already packed all my Funko Pop!s and Gunpla kits into moving boxes as I'm planning to send all of them to my parents house soon. Dad promised to renovate his old office into a mini studio for me but mum wants me to have her home office instead as she already planned to turn dad's old office into her personal storage for cooking utensils. I'll update you guys on that later.


I've cleaned the area and then rearranged the shelves so I can have similar heights for all the tiers on the bookcase.




I've figured I could reuse the protector boxes that I've got from Sheldonet Malaysia to raise the manga placed at the back but I don't really have lots of them so I guess I'm going to use slightly broken plastic protectors as well.




After placing all my Kodansha's Attack on Titan manga, I've noticed that I can raise the manga a little bit higher when I turned the box to its other side instead. 




It's really nice to see the titles popped out like that instead of removing the front volumes back and forth whenever I want to read the ones at back. Plus it's easier to check for the latest volumes of unfinished series whenever I want to preorder the next ones. After removing some of the boxed figures off the shelves, I even gained a whole empty tier at the bottom which is great news as I'm planning to get Gundam the Origin manga which are published in hardbacks and there are 12 volumes so I'd be sure to put them at the bottom shelf as I imagined their quite heavy.


Overall, I'm loving this arrangement for now but I seriously need to back order another of this Billy Bookcase from local IKEA reseller but I'm going to need to rearrange the hobby room again for that. Also, to all fellow toy figure collectors out there, do you guys know that IKEA discontinued their Detolf shelf? I currently have 3 and was hoping to get another but now I don't know where to get a new one or I guess I'll just have to look for a used ones instead.
