Arissto Coffee - My Personal Home Coffee Happy Maker


Recently, we have subscribed to an Arissto Coffee Happy Maker at home; and now we can enjoy a premium cup of Italian coffee at any time when we are at home. The number one reason for choosing to subscribe to this coffee bar rather than purchased; is that we do not have to pay for the coffee machine.


With a push of a button on the Arissto Coffee Happy Maker, we can easily have an Espresso, Latte or Cappuccino in less than one minute with the full aroma of freshly brewed coffee.


Now we can enjoy these crafted Premium Italian coffee in the comfort of our home and at a much lower cost compared to those that we had in cafes and coffee outlets.


What I enjoyed most is the consistency in terms of the taste, body and flavours, as you can expect the same taste from each cup each and every time.


With 6 flavours to choose from which includes Sunrise, Lonely, Peace, Passion, Moonlight and InLove. You can read more about the flavours from here. For my mid-morning cup; I enjoyed the dark chocolate flavour of the Passion while my morning cuppa has to be the Espresso Sunrise, with a hint of nutty bitter aftertaste which I like.


With an aesthetics design, we could have the coffee maker placed in our living hall, while we entertain our friends and family with a freshly brewed coffee of their choice.

Ee Chinese Cuisine @ Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur Signature Dish



Ee Chinese Cuisine @ Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur is a very popular Chinese restaurant in Petaling Jaya that continues to dish out some of their speciality signature dishes from its a-la carte menu.


Once again, we are here to taste some of Chef Alex signature dishes.


To start off our dinner, we had the 3 Deluxe Combination Platter. The star of this dish is the Salted Egg Oyster. A big juicy Canadian Oyster is wrapped with a crispy layer of deep fried Salted Eggs Crust. A nice feel of crispy salty taste on other outside and married with the succulent taste of the large oyster. The second combo is the Scallop Yam Basket; the scallop together with a piece of banana is nicely wrapped with the shredded Yam and deep fried to a light crunch. The third combo is the Steam Crabmeat Ball serve in a Champagne glass which provides a lighter taste. A superb combination that highlights all the different seafood taste in one platter.


Another one of the dishes at Ee Chinese Cuisine that we always look forward to is the double boiled soup. Tonight we were served the Double Boiled Dried Scallop Top Shell and Fish Maw Soup. One can taste the encompassing all natural flavours of the ingredient till the last drop. Served hot; it is a real delight to start the dinner with this tummy warming delight.


Next on;  is Chef Alex speciality Roasted Crispy Pi Pa Duck. We have always enjoyed this dish as one can appreciate the process used to cook this speciality. Chef Alex Pi Pa Duck recipe lies in the special marinade sauce that is spread onto the duck cavities. Left to a slow natural air drying process to infuse the marinade and to have a real dry skin; it is then roasted with perfection that is evident by the crispy crackling skin with a moist tender texture duck meat. A wonderful delight to be eaten with a bowl of steaming white rice with a dollop of gravy.


For the fish dish; we were served the Steamed River Patin With Preserved Vegetables & Onion in Superior Soya Sauce. Not many restaurants take up the challenge to serve steam fresh water fish as it can be very challenging and not a simple task; firstly is to ensure that you have a good quality stock, to begin with. Paired with a preserved vegetables that offer a special taste and with the superior soya sauce coupled with the nice texture of the meat; it was a job well done by the Chef.


Our last main for the night is the Stir Fried Prawn, Homemade Beancurd and Broccoli with Spicy Sauce. This dish has 2 cooking style which is stir fried and steam. The homemade bean curd which is topped by a layer of chopped spinach is soft and silky. This is then bedded with a layer of steam eggs. Garnished with poached Brocolli in the middle and topped with the Spicy Stir Fried Prawn makes this; a 2 flavour dish.


Ending our night, the Chef serves us the Stir Fried Soy Noodles With Shredded Chicken and Dried Shrimp to ensure we go home with a filled tummy.


For dessert, we had the Double Boiled Fig with Crystal Pear and Peach Gum which is served chilled and has the right balance of sweetness level to tone down taste-bud for the night.
