Hop Hop Cafe

Have you ever dreamt of having your meal with little bunnies at the side running around having their meal too? Well, this is what makes this place special so we decided to pay this place a visit last Thursday.

It is abit hard to tell whether the restaurant is opened becuase they closed up the middle section as you can see from the picture.

I almost got fooled into thinking they were closed.

 Now this is their main entrance.

 This was an older menu I got from google, but I thought it looked really cute and pretty so here it is.

For some reason, this isn't there anymore though.

Their current menus.

Not as pretty, but in exchange it has much more variety of food and drinks now.

 The Dog Bowl RM 12

Thick cut fries topped with cheese sauce and a choice of beef bacon or chicken ham, baked with love.

 Will you just look at this little bowl of goodness.

You'll never see dog bowls the same again.

We pulled and pulled and whoossh!

Look how far the cheese goes.

I found this dish delicious and oozing with flavour. The fries were seasoned which was probably why, but the best parts were definitely the melted cheese topping.

 Passion fruit Meringue Pie.

A golden pie crust with passion fruit filling topped with meringue.

 This meringue pie had a soft fluffy meringue which melted the minute it made contact with my tongue.

The filling had a burst of passion fruit flavour which was a pleasant experience, with the right amount of sweetness and sourness to go with pie crust.

 Summer Berries Mousse RM 12.50

Seasonal mixed berries layered with berry mousse and topped with a drizzle of berry sauce.

The berries were wonderful, and again the top part was the best accompanied with the mousse.

 However the mousse lacked the berry flavour which it claimed to have and by the end of it, we were left wondering if the portion could have been bigger.

 Bunny time!

Where the bunnies roam.

 Let me introduce you to my two favourites.

This is Mr. Fuzzy (I gave it a name, oh and a gender lol).

He has the coolest looking hair among the rest.

 And this is Mrs. Potter.

Somehow if this was a rabbit movie, she look like she would be a mummy rabbit.

 This had the biggest eyes and I couldn't help but to be reminded of Bugsy.

Who's Bugsy you ask?

This is Bugsy.

He is from Bedtime Stories.

My failed selfies with the bunnies.

Conclusion

It was a different and exciting experience to be able to dine here. The food was good, the desserts well made, and not to mention, the rabbits were adorable to watch.

But (there's always a but), I couldn't help wishing if they could have given a more generous portion considering their prices. I understand it's by animal lovers and for animal lovers, and they need the funds (I think) cuz I don't remember anywhere stating that during my visit, but a more reasonable pricing will definitely attract more people in the long run.

The variety food as a main meal was somewhat limited. The main food types on their menu were pastas, macaronis and fries. It was all mostly carbs, and that wouldn't really satisfy someone looking for some protein in their diet. 

The dessert section on the other hand had an interesting variety for you to choose from. They had all sorts of meringue pies and cakes, making it a wonderful place to spend your teatime.

Cheap Eyeshadows - Daiso

Ok I know that many people probably have a principle to not use anything cheap on their face, for the fear of ruining their skin/allergic reactions. Well that's true considering daily face care products, as I would obviously not want to risk my face for a short term benefit of paying a cheap price.

However, when it comes to powdery makeup like eye shadows and brow pens which I would only use occasionally, I find that it isn't really worth getting something expensive which you wouldn't even know when the next time you'll be using it.

My mum got this eyeshadow palette from Daiso, the one at the Curve, for RM5. It even has the 6 popular colours which are commonly used among ladies.

The glass is abit blurry due to finger prints hehe.

It's like a compact, cheaper version of the Naked Palette.

For those of you who may not have heard of it before, this is how the Naked(2) palette looks like.

This is a clearer view of the colours.

Don't you think it's like the summarized version of the Naked(2) palette? 

Here, I've labelled the colours so that you can tell the difference between each colour.

Pardon my hairy hand hehe.

Not bad huh?

Another reason I know which stops people from buying cheap eye shadows when they come across one is because of the worry that the colour may not come out.

Or that the colour may fade/fall off after using it for awhile.

But as you can see, the colours are pretty pigmented, which is good enough for people like me who only wear eye shadows occasionally.

*Note* I put white shadow (6) as my base for the inner corner of both lids.

 How the colours turned out on my eyes.

The camera couldn't really capture the exact shade of the colours, but in reality, the colours were quite obvious to me.

Shhh, I know it's time to pluck my eyebrows and my skin has been pretty bad lately :(

Both sides.

Spot the difference haha!

The left side looks more dreamy, with the silver and grey shades, while the right side looks more natural with the brown and black shades.

This was another day with the eye shadow on but less eye liner, and without my contacts.

Looks pretty natural from afar.

As far as I'm concerned, I think they only sell this particular palette at the Curve.

I went to Sunway Pyramid the other day but I realised that branch didn't have it.

Oh yes and I know don't really do these kinda posts.. 

Mainly due to the reason I don't like my skin upclose on camera as I'm pretty tan and my skin condition has been pretty bad.

Ok, that's all!

Feel free to share if you have any good cheap eye shadows you've been raving about :)

Tony Roma's - Raising the Steaks

If there's one thing the world would know about Tony Roma's, it would be their ribs.

But have you wondered 'what about the rest of their food'?

In line with their recent “Raising The Steaks” promotion, I got invited to do a review on some of their steak dishes.

When I got there, I was greeted with wonderful service (as I was late, oops). Everyone was smiling and, you know what, for some reason that just made me feel even more hungry. If there's even any possible correlation between the two. 

I ordered the Mango Romarita. 

RM 14.90

It was basically a mixture of mango, orange and fresh lime juice shaken altogether with some ice.

A plus point would be that it's non-alcoholic, so this would definitely be a hit for kids.

They had other flavours as well such as the Strawberry, Wild Berry and the original Romarita itself. 

But as you can see the main ingredients were the orange and fresh lime juice, which gave it its refreshingly unique, zesty taste.

New York Strip with Roasted Red Pepper sauce.

RM 63.90

Flame grilled steak served with creamy roasted red pepper sauce and a choice of two sides.

This was a favourite among other bloggers who went, as the sauce complimented the beef strip, which made the meat juicier and tender.

Ribeye Steak with Roasted Onion Sauce.

RM 63.90

Ribeye steak served with home-made roasted onion sauce with a tinge of lemon pepper, served with a choice of two sides.

The Filet Medallions with Mushroom Sauce.

RM 63.90

 Grilled filet medallions covered in mushroom sauce, served with a choice of two sides.

Another dish which was popular was this, as the medallions were the most tender compared to the rest of the steaks.

 New York Strip with Peppered Beef Bacon and Asparagus Relish.

RM 63.90

A flame grilled New York Strip garnished with peppered beef bacon and asparagus relish, glazed with white balsamic glaze, served with mashed potatoes. 

This was the one I ordered :D

As you can see, the steak had a warm pink centre which was a good sign.

 I usually like my steak medium, so I requested to have it that way.

However, the steak turned out a little dry for my liking. 

Whatever moisture it had, was from the little sauce it had and not the meat.

I also didn't like how the taste of the balsamic gaze was rather intense, overpowering the sweetness of the meat itself.

If you dislike vinegar, you probably wouldn't want to go for this dish. 

 The Chocolate Avalanche.

Moist chocolate fudge cake pieces served with Vanilla ice cream in a Martini glass.

The other bloggers and people who were present.

 Amelia and I :D

 Me and my attempt of smiling with my thick lips closed. LOL

What I genuinely liked about Tony Roma's was that their portion was pretty generous and you'll have a full tummy at the end of just one set. The steaks were pretty thick in size which made each bite a satisfying mouthful.

The price is of course more on the costly side, but if you're looking for a place which not only serves quality food but offers good service and a pleasing ambience as well, it's worth it.

If you're wondering, I went to the branch at eCurve (formerly known as Cineleisure). 

Promotion Now!

Tony Roma's will be having this 'Raising the Steaks' promotion from now till the 13th of July 2014, so you'll have an entire month to take advantage of it! :) 
So hurry up and head on to your nearest branch to get a taste of their famous steaks before their promo ends!

Once again, thank you Tony Roma's for this delightful evening filled with good food and company! I certainly had a great time savouring all their steaks.

Thank you for reading! Hope this review gave you guys a helpful insight on Tony Roma's :D
