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.

The Fault In Our Stars

This is just a my-kinda-style-of-review. Hehe so don't take it too seriously :) I will try not to spoil it for anyone yet to watch it! So read on! :D

The Fault In Our Stars was simple yet its ability to tug the heartstrings of many was impressive. Honestly, I wasn't expecting so much from a movie inspired by a romance novel like this. Because, many times the movie just doesn't turn out well.

Firstly, the actors were amazing in their portrayal of the two main characters - Hazel and Gus. They weren't made to look impeccably good, like how typical romance movies would naturally fashion their main characters. Ok if now you're thinking "Yer, then watch for what, if not good looking then how to tahan for 2 hours" (yes the movie is 2 hours and 5 minutes to be exact), well I have a very good answer.

Somehow, you'd be able to relate to the characters and find yourself liking them despite their looks. You'd inevitably find yourself looking past their physical attributes and more towards their character on screen. You'd be able to relate to them with their emotions and actions. And that is certainly not an easy feat for actors in such a role.

The storyline was NOT at all draggy for that entire 2 hours and 5 minutes of my life. The story was well developed and somehow even if you find yourself not understanding certain aspects of it, it will leave you in deep thought because everything actually makes a certain kinda sense.

The only criticism I have was on how their love started. I felt it was most certainly too fast and sudden, but perhaps that's the way it is in their culture. Lol I don't know, because as we all know love in cultural contexts are different everywhere. And in Malaysia, starting a relationship like that is just abit freaky haha.

In the beginning, it might also offend some audiences as they seem to mock Christianity a little. I did not really realise it until my friend pointed it out, hence watching this would require an open mind.

So this movie is also renowned for being a tear-jerker, as even the books itself made many people cry.

 I almost cried.

Almost.

But I didn't. And I believe I know why. As we all know, certain movies have a reason for every tiny part it consists of. Everything in the parcel is simply important and with a missing part, it's as though having a perfect looking aircraft with a missing window glass panel. And although the plane can still probably fly, that missing glass panel with affect it's performance.

That was the exact same way I felt for this movie. I watched it at GSC in Setia City Mall, and to my dismay they completely cut an entire scene whereby both of them were supposed to declare their love.

Ahem. If you know what I mean.

They were supposed to be intimate, like how normal couples would be and NOPE sorry Malaysians, we're just not gonna get it in our cinemas.

 It should have just been an 18PL movie but they made it PG13 so that the younger audiences would be able to savour this movie. But it is ignorant as certain times, intimacy is needed to portray what the characters are going through or have gone through.

I'm not saying that the cinema should be a senseless prick and just show all obscenity on screen, but be mindful of the adult audiences as well as the young. As adults, people are able to articulate and filter what they see.

OK the next paragraph is abit of a spoiler as it sums the entire story up so ignore the entire paragraph if you haven't watched it yet.

So I actually didn't get the full-on message whereby 'Hazel and Gus have done MANY things together, including being intimate together, and went through many hardships, yet they can't be together because of illness'.

It was just an important aspect to the movie I felt which was underrated in Malaysian cinemas, because it shows the vulnerability and gentleness of both main characters. And this is certainly something that many people who are in a relationship (at the average age above 16 in Malaysia lol), can relate to.

To conclude, the movie was memorable, well-developed and just a simple love story at heart which actually reminds audiences to appreciate even the smallest things we have in life which we tend to overlook.

We might have something which some people might never be able to get - Life.

Who Should Watch It?

If you're about to puke after reading what I wrote then no, this isn't a movie for you. It's for those of you who like romance and are able to appreciate something without guns and action. Even if you're not a fan of romance, but can sit through a movie without fighting and stuff, then you might want to give this a go! :)

 Some of the quotes you can find in TFIOS.

The quotes are pretty meaningful and well written.

There were so many cool pictures on this movie I just had to compile the ones I liked best LOL and I'm aware this entry has alot of words so hopefully it'll help you pull through reading till this point :P

Note. I'm not a hardcore fan of the book as I haven't even read it yet, but this is my take on the movie :) Haven't watched a well executed romance movie for a while now so this was definitely refreshing.

Shopping Rants

Exams are finally over! And recently I've spent alot of time shopping. Not to mention the amount of money utilised as well.

Everytime it comes to exams it feels like I've been in a cave for too long and when everything is over, I feel like a deer who stepped in a village - it's a peribahasa literally translated to English (seperti rusa masuk kampung). 

It just means that you feel like you're in a new place and everything just seems magical to you because it's the first time you're seeing all these cool stuff like technology and etc.

What's wrong with me. I'm even teaching peribahasa now...

Back to my point, everytime I step into a shopping mall after my exams, it's as though everything seemed so nice and shiny, I just have to have it.

And in my head, I'd be mentally calculating what I "need", like 'oh I don't have a hat in this shade of black' or 'oh this hat looks much nicer than my hat, it makes my head look so small', and that is when you know you have the exact same colour hat as the shop and probably it looks the same as your hat to everyone else but you just know you got to buy it.

Ya feel ma feels?

Blegh. 

I know I'm guilty for that LOL.

Trying out some jeans at Brands Outlet.

Did you know their jeans only cost RM 49.90 and it's super comfy??

Plus it flatters petite people really well!

You don't need to alter it because unlike most shops, their jeans are in the perfect length for petite people.

 What's fun without ice cream.

I look like I have evil thoughts for the man in black behind.

This picture clearly shows how much I need to start going back to the gym.

Look at my tummy. 

SO BIG SIA.

Ok stop looking at my tummy.

Just an outfit which I mixed and matched.

Only the cardigan was something I've never worn before.

Mad in love with these midi rings.

Especially the moon ring!

Got it all from H&M and their rings are the cheapest compared to Lovisa, Diva and other places!

You can get one set of midi rings for just RM 14.90.

Ok I'm gonna watch The Fault In Our Stars now!

I haven't read the book because.... why should I when everyone else have.

HAHA Ivena's logic -.-

Ok la and I knew they were making a movie out of it already, so I kinda didn't bothered.

Plus I hate it when they make movies that do not live up to the content of their books.

In other words, I was just saving myself from the disappointment.

It's like how I know 50 Shades of Grey- the movie, is coming out soon and I wouldn't read it. Just yet.

Maybe after the movie if it sucks heh.

 I'll talk about The Fault In Our Stars from a non-reader's point of view soon! :D
