Songs That Remind Me Of Someone

 Songs That Remind Me of Someone

By Batrisyia

Music has always been more than just music to me. Whenever I hear certain songs, I do not just remember the lyrics or the melody. I remember people, memories, and moments that once meant something to me.

Some songs remind me of friendships, while others remind me of people who were only meant to stay for a chapter of my life.

These are a few songs that I can never listen to without thinking of someone.

🎵 Heaven — Bryan Adams

Whenever I hear this song, I think about the feeling of having someone who makes everything seem easier.

The song feels warm, comforting, and nostalgic. It reminds me of the kind of memories that make you smile before realizing they belong to the past.

“Baby, you’re all that I want…”

Sometimes a song is not painful because it is sad.

Sometimes it is painful because it reminds you of how happy you once were.

🎵 Iris — The Goo Goo Dolls

This song reminds me of vulnerability.

Of caring about someone so much that you want them to understand every part of who you are.

Even years after its release, the emotions in this song still feel incredibly raw and honest.

“And I’d give up forever to touch you…”

There are some songs that do not age because emotions never do.

🎵 Ingat — Alyph

Out of every song on this list, this one probably affected me the most.

Not only does it remind me of memories and people, but it also inspired me to write an entire short film script for one of my assignments.

Every time I hear it, I think about nostalgia, missed opportunities, and the people who once played an important role in my life.

Some songs do not just remind us of someone.

They remind us of a version of ourselves that no longer exists.

🎵 Nervous — The Neighbourhood

This song reminds me of the excitement and anxiety that come with liking someone.

The overthinking.

The anticipation.

The feeling of wanting to talk to someone while simultaneously being terrified of saying the wrong thing.

It captures that nervous energy perfectly.

🎵 Midnight Rain — Taylor Swift

This song feels different from the others.

To me, it is not really about heartbreak.

It is about realizing that two people can care about each other and still end up taking different paths in life.

Sometimes nobody is the villain.

Sometimes things simply do not work out the way we hoped.

And perhaps that is one of the hardest things to accept.

In the end, I think that is why I love music so much. Songs have a strange way of preserving memories.

People change.

Life moves on.

Relationships begin and end.

But somehow, a three-minute song can bring everything back for a moment.

Maybe that is why some songs are impossible to skip.

Not because of the music itself.

But because of the people we remember when we hear them. 

Love,

How One Song Inspired Me to Write a Short Film Script

 How One Song Inspired Me to Write a Short Film Script

By Batrisyia

Last semester, I had to write a script for a short film assignment. At first, I honestly had no idea what story I wanted to create because I did not want my script to feel too cliché or unrealistic. Then, while listening to Ingat, I suddenly started imagining scenes in my head.

The emotions in the song somehow matched a situation I once experienced myself, so I decided to create a story inspired by those feelings. Of course, I changed some parts of the story, but the emotions behind it were still real.

The story follows a music composer named Zaf and his longtime friend, Elina. I wanted their relationship to feel natural and realistic instead of overly dramatic. That is why most of the dialogue sounds casual, because I wanted audiences to feel like they were watching real people instead of fictional characters.

One of my favorite scenes was the bubble balloon scene at the park because it represented nostalgia and happiness before everything changed. I also liked how the “L sign” became a symbol between the two characters throughout the story.

Even though the script was inspired by personal emotions, writing it was actually fun because it allowed me to turn feelings into a story. Some scenes were difficult to write because they felt too real, especially the ending scene where Zaf meets Elina again after many years.

Unfortunately, my script was not selected. At first, I felt disappointed because I had put a lot of effort and emotion into writing it. However, after rereading the script again, I realized I was still proud of myself for creating something meaningful to me.

Sometimes, not every piece of work we create will be chosen or appreciated immediately. But I think what matters most is the fact that we had the courage to create something honest in the first place. Even though my script was never selected, it will always remain one of the most personal things I have ever written.

And to that one guy .... thank you for breaking my heart. Without realizing it, you gave me a story to write, a script to complete, and enough inspiration to finish my assignment. Things did not work out the way I once hoped, but at least something good came out of it. 

You got a new chapter. I got good carry mark. I guess we both won. Lol

Your coolest girl,

13 Reasons Why You Need Amy and Yaya in Your Uni Life

 13 Reasons Why You Need Amy and Yaya in Your Uni Life

By Batrisyia

University life is already stressful enough. Assignments pile up every week, sleep schedules become terrible, and somehow students always end up questioning their life choices at 3 A.M. But honestly, I think uni becomes a lot easier when you find the right people.

For me, those people are Puteri Amylia Nadia and Awliya' Humaira or as everyone knows them, Amy and Yaya.

We started off as classmates but somehow ended up becoming a trio that does almost everything together. I actually knew Yaya since primary school, but we drifted apart during high school. Funny enough, university brought us back together again. As for Amy, she was one of the first people I became close with in class, and somehow the friendship just naturally happened.

And honestly? I think everyone deserves friends like them in university.

1. They make boring days feel less boring

Even the most random days become memorable when I’m with them. Going to class, buying food, doing assignments, or simply sitting together somehow always turns into chaos and laughter.

2. Amy is literally the definition of “chalant”

People always joke about being nonchalant nowadays, but Amy is the complete opposite. She cares A LOT. She’s loud, expressive, goofy, and somehow always manages to make people laugh even when she’s not trying. She’s also super clumsy, which honestly makes everything funnier.

3. Yaya is the mother of the group

Every trio needs someone responsible, and that person is definitely Yaya. She has that strong eldest daughter energy in her. She’s mature, hardworking, caring, and somehow always knows what to do during stressful situations.

4. We survived university burnout together

Semester 5 was honestly exhausting for all of us. There were moments where stress became too overwhelming until we literally cried together.

Looking back now, it sounds funny, but I think moments like that made our friendship stronger because we understood each other during our worst moments too.

5. Getting chased by dogs together creates unforgettable memories

One thing about our trio is that chaos somehow follows us everywhere. I still cannot forget that one moment during Semester 2 when we were peacefully walking to class together before suddenly getting chased by a dog out of nowhere. It was terrifying for like five seconds but hilarious after that. Honestly, I think that moment alone deserves to be archived in university history.

6. They are genuinely happy for my achievements

One thing I appreciate the most is how supportive they are. Some people secretly compete with their friends, but Amy and Yaya never made me feel that way. When something good happens to me, they celebrate it with me sincerely, and I think that kind of friendship is rare nowadays.

7. They are caring in ways people don’t always notice

Amy may act goofy and loud most of the time, but she’s actually very sensitive and soft-hearted. I can tell she genuinely cares about the people around her. Yaya, on the other hand, shows her care through actions. She helps people, shares knowledge, and never acts selfish when it comes to academics.

8. They are smart but never arrogant

Both of them are genuinely intelligent people, but they never make others feel stupid. In university, finding friends who willingly help you without making you feel embarrassed is honestly a blessing.

9. They make university feel safe

University can sometimes feel lonely and overwhelming, especially when everyone is busy surviving their own problems. But having people you can rely on makes everything feel less scary.

10. They accepted me as I am

I never had to pretend to be someone else around them. They know the loud version of me, the tired version of me, the stressed version of me, and still stayed.

11. We basically do everything together

At this point, if people see one of us alone, they probably get shocked. We eat together, attend class together, stress over assignments together, and somehow survive university life together too.

12. They remind me that good friendships still exist

Nowadays, genuine friendships are honestly hard to find. Some people only come when they need something, but Amy and Yaya stayed through both good and difficult moments. That’s something I’ll always appreciate about them.

13. University would not feel the same without them

When I think about my university life, I realize most of my favorite memories involve them somehow. And honestly, I think the scariest part about friendship is knowing that one day people might drift apart. That’s why I appreciate every moment with them now, even the smallest ones. Amy and Yaya are more than just classmates or friends to me. They became part of my university experience, and I genuinely cannot imagine surviving uni without them.

So, if you ever find friends who laugh with you, cry with you, support you, and stay during difficult times too please keep them. They are rare. After all, I think everyone needs Amy and Yaya in their life ... just not my Amy and Yaya. Hehe

Xoxo, your coolest bestie ever,

A Plate of Bumbu Babah

By Awliya

 I discovered Bumbu Babah through the many viral food videos on TikTok. At first, I was simply curious because so many people were sharing their experiences and recommending the restaurant. Coincidentally, while my family and I were in Johor Bahru, my dad suggested that we try it. Since I had never eaten nasi padang before, I was excited to see what the hype was all about.

My first nasi padang experience was at Bumbu Babah, Setia Tropika, Johor Bahru. Honestly, I was surprised from the very first bite. I had never tasted a combination of flavours that worked so perfectly together. Their nasi padang set comes with rice, vegetables, half a boiled egg, green sambal, red sambal, and a rich  curry . As someone who loves curry  dishes, this meal was exactly what I enjoy. That was the moment I fell in love with nasi padang. What makes the meal even more special is how every component on the plate complements one another. The green sambal  adds a fresh spicy kick, while the red sambal provides a balance of sweetness and heat. When everything is mixed together with the rice and curry, the flavours become incredibly satisfying and addictive.

Even though there are many nasi padang restaurants in Malaysia, I have yet to find one that gives me the same experience as Bumbu Babah. Every time I think about it, I start craving it again. It has easily become one of my comfort foods. Since Bumbu Babah has several branches across Malaysia, I do not have to wait until I visit Johor Bahru to enjoy it. Whenever I am craving nasi padang, I simply look for the nearest Bumbu Babah branch to my current location. If I am in the mood for nasi padang, Bumbu Babah is always the first place that comes to mind. Sometimes, I already know exactly what I want to order before I even arrive at the restaurant. To me, food that constantly makes you want to come back for more is truly something special, and Bumbu Babah has done exactly that since my very first visit.

I am actually not someone who eats a lot. Most of the time, I only eat half to one scoop of rice and often leave food unfinished. However, whenever I eat at Bumbu Babah, I almost always finish my entire meal. There is something about the flavours that keeps me wanting another bite. I would even describe it as addictive because every mouthful makes me look forward to the next one. It is honestly difficult for me to fully describe how good the food is through words alone. No matter how much I write about it, I feel like it still would not do the food justice. You really have to try it yourself to understand what I mean.

The menu that I order every single time is Dendeng Batokok. I usually add beef tendon curry, and sometimes I also add  Balado Eggplant. The beef in the Dendeng Batokok is incredibly tender and easy to eat. The portion size is also reasonable since the meat is weighed by grams. As for the Eggplant Balado, the eggplant is soft and perfectly cooked, while the sambal has the ideal combination of spicy and sweet flavours. It is truly a perfect combination. The beef tendon curry t is another dish that I highly recommend because the gravy is thick, rich, and packed with flavour. When eaten with warm rice, it creates a meal that is both comforting and satisfying. To this day, Dendeng Batokok, Beef tendon curry and Balado Eggplant remain my go-to order whenever I visit Bumbu Babah.

One unique thing about Bumbu Babah is that they do not offer a wide variety of drinks like most restaurants. Instead, they only provide canned drinks and bottled mineral water. However, customers can request ice if they want. Ordering food is also very straightforward. Customers simply queue up, choose their dishes, receive their food immediately, and pay at the counter. Even though the concept is simple, the service is quick and efficient, so there is usually very little waiting time.

In terms of pricing, I believe the food is reasonably priced considering its quality and taste. Prices start from around RM7.50 for a nasi padang set with fried eggplant for members.A more complete meal, such as nasi padang with Beef tendon curry, fried catfish, and Crispy Chicken, can cost around RM19.80. For non-members, prices usually range from approximately RM8.35 to RM22.00 depending on the selected dishes. Considering the portions, flavours, and quality of the food, I personally think the prices are worth it.

My family has a membership account registered under my mother’s phone number because we eat at Bumbu Babah quite often. Through the membership programme, we are able to collect points and enjoy discounts on our purchases. When dining as a family, the savings can add up and make a noticeable difference. Although the discount may not seem huge at first, it is still a great benefit for regular customers. Over time, the collected points can also be redeemed for additional rewards.

Overall, Bumbu Babah is one of my favourite foods at the moment, and it is a place that I will continue to revisit. Even if I eat it every week, I never get bored because every meal feels just as enjoyable as the first time I tried it. The combination of spices, sambals, curry , and flavourful side dishes always leaves me wanting more. For me, Bumbu Babah is more than just a restaurant. It is the place that introduced me to the world of nasi padang and made me fall in love with it from the very first bite. If you ever have the chance to try Bumbu Babah, I highly recommend it. Whether you are already a nasi padang lover or someone trying it for the first time, Bumbu Babah is definitely worth a visit.

Vincenzo

by Amy

I enjoy watching Korean drama, and one of my favourites is Vincenzo. This drama was released in 2021 and stars Song Joongki, Jeon Yeobeen, and Ok Taecyeon. What makes Vincenzo different from other dramas is its unique combination of action, comedy, crime, and suspense. From the first episode, I was interested in the story and wanted to know what would happen next. 

Song Jongki as Vincenzo Cassano

Jeon Yeobeen as Hong Chayoung

Ok Taecyeon as Jang Junwoo

The story follows Vincenzo Cassano, a Korean man who was adopted by an Italian family and later became a mafia lawyer. After returning to South Korea, he becomes involved in a conflict with Babel Group, a powerful and corrupt company. Together with lawyer Hong Chayoung and the residents of Geumga Plaza, Vincenzo fights against injustice using his intelligence and strategic plans. 

One of the reasons I like Vincenzo is its storyline. Every episode contains unexpected plot twist that make the drama exciting to watch. I also enjoy how the drama balances serious action scene with comedy. Even during intense moments, there are funny scenes that make viewers laugh. 

Another reason is the characters. Each character has a unique personality and plays an important role in story. The chemistry between Vincenzo and Hong Chayoung also makes the drama more enjoyable to watch.

My favourite scene was when Vincenzo confronted Jang Junwoo and his associates after they were responsible for his mother’s death. This scene was very emotional because Vincenzo had always remained calm and collected, but after losing his mother, viewers could clearly see his anger and sadness. 

I really enjoyed this scene because it showed a different side of Vincenzo’s character. The acting was powerful, and the emotions felt very real. It was one of the most memorable scenes in the drama and made me even more invested in the story. 

Rating:

1. Storyline: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2. Characters: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

3. Comedy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4. Action: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5. Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vincenzo is one of the best Korean dramas I have watched. The combination of action, comedy, suspense, and memorable characters makes it a very entertaining series.The interesting storyline and emotional moments kept me engaged from beginning to end, which is why Vincenzo remains one of my favourite Korean dramas.

Things That Make Me Happy!

 by Amy

Everyone has different things that make them happy. For me, happiness comes from simple moments, people, and activities that make my life feel more meaningful. Here are few things that make me happy!

Concerts are the thing that makes me the happiest. My first time seeing Nct Dream was at Seen Festival in Malaysia. As someone who had been a fan for years, I never expect that I would finally get the chance to see them in person. At that time, they performed as five members, and it was an unforgettable experience for me. 

When Nct Dream announced another concert in Malaysia, I was extremely excited. I started saving money to buy a lightstick and prepare for the concert. For me, concerts are not just about music, but also about creating memories that I will always remember forever.  

Music is also one of the things that makes me happy, especially R&B songs. I enjoy listening to artists like Nct Dream, with songs such as Teddy Bear, Never Goodbye, and Rains in Heaven. I also like Bruno Mars, especially songs like Versace on the Floor and If I knew. 

Music helps me relax, calm my mind, enjoy my free time. It also makes my daily life feel more meaningful. 

                              

Spending time with my family is something that I really appreciate. I enjoy going out with them, no matter how far the place is. As long as I am with my family, it already means a lot to me. These simple moments together always make me happy and grateful. 

Photography is something that I love because of my father. He is videographer, and when I was young, I used to follow him to work and watch him hold his camera. That is how my interest in photography started. 

I hope that one day, I will be able to become like him and continue doing what he does. Taking photos and capturing moments feels special to me because it connects me to my memories and inspirations. 

Concerts, music, family, and photography are the things that make me happy! ❤. Each of them has a special meaning in my life and helps shape who I am today. Thats it thank yewww 😚😚

Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars

by Amy

 

Song: Just The Way You Are

Artist: Bruno Mars

Music has the power to comfort people during difficult times. Some songs make us feel understood, especially when we are struggling with self-doubt and insecurity. One song that delivers this message beautifully is Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. 

Just The Way You Are may sound like a simple love song, but it hits differently when you’re feeling insecure. There are days when you look at yourself and start overthinking everything. You feel like you’re not pretty enough, or just not “enough” in general. 

It’s something many people experience, even if they do not talk about it openly. Insecurity often makes us focus only on flaws while ignoring our strengths. However, this song does not try to force positivity, Instead, it gently reminds listeners that they do not need to change themselves to be worthy of love and appreciation. That is what makes the song so comforting. 

Sometimes, we do not need someone to fix our problems. We simply need a reminder that we are already enough, just the way we are. 

What I like most about this song is its message. The lyrics are simple, but they carry a powerful meaning. Whenever I listen to it, it reminds me to be kinder to myself and stop focusing on my imperfections. The song encourages self-acceptance and teaches us that everyone has value, even when they cannot see it themselves. 

Just The Way You Are is more than just a romantic song. It is a reminder that we do not need to change ourselves to be appreciated. Its comforting message makes it relatable to anyone who has ever struggled with insecurity. 

Sometimes, the most meaningful reminder is knowing that we are already enough just the way you are. 

Kelantan Diaries

 By Awliya

Our family trip to Kelantan started from my grandmother’s village in Kedah around 8.00 a.m. Since it was just a day before Hari Raya Haji, we decided to take the inland route through Gerik to avoid traffic. The journey was long but very calming, surrounded by green hills, forests, and peaceful natural scenery. I really enjoyed the view because I’ve always loved places with water, trees, and open landscapes.

One of the most beautiful moments during the journey was when we passed by Temenggor Lake. The view from the bridge was breathtaking, with the water reflecting a deep blue-green colour. I quickly took photos because the scenery was too beautiful to ignore. It felt very peaceful and refreshing just looking at it.

After about three hours on the road, we stopped at R&R Titiwangsa for lunch. We brought homemade food such as white rice with anchovies and boiled eggs, as well as fried bihun. We found a seating area and ate together as a family. Even though the food was simple, it tasted very satisfying because we were all hungry and eating together made it even better.

We then continued our journey for another few hours until we finally arrived at our homestay in Kelantan. I was honestly surprised because the place looked even better than in the pictures. The environment was very family-friendly, with a swimming pool, playground, mini football area, and an aesthetic wooden resting hut.

Inside the homestay, there was also a game room with snooker, carrom, chess, and several board games. They even provided a PS4, which made it enjoyable for everyone regardless of age. There was also a projector area that felt like a mini cinema with cushions and seating, perfect for relaxing at night. The rooms were comfortable with air-conditioning, towels, and extra mattresses provided.

After checking everything, we rested for a while due to the long journey. In the evening, my cousin and I went swimming in the pool. We spent time playing in the water together and enjoying the moment. It was simple but became one of the most memorable parts of the trip.

At night, everyone did their own activities. Some of my cousins played PS4, while others watched TV or used their phones. The adults played carrom and laughed together, making the house feel very lively and warm. We also had McDonald’s fried chicken for dinner, which felt extra special when eaten together as a family.

Later that night, I suddenly started craving ZUS Coffee. I ordered a Buttercream Latte through Grab because honestly… no ZUS, no life. I really can’t function without it sometimes. I enjoyed my drink while watching TV, just relaxing after a long day.

The next morning, I woke up early and went swimming again before getting ready for a wedding. I wore a full black abaya with a beaded shawl and Chanel flats, giving a chic and elegant look. After getting ready, we headed to the wedding venue, which was about 20 minutes away from the homestay.

When we arrived at the wedding, we were guided to our table and everything was well organised. We then went to take food, where I chose rice with chicken and beef dishes. There were many delicious options available, and everything looked very appetising. I also took a variety of desserts, especially cakes that looked too good to resist.

After eating, I had some ice cream for dessert, choosing vanilla and chocolate flavours. While the adults were busy chatting with relatives, I took selfies and enjoyed the atmosphere. The wedding felt lively because it brought together many extended family members. We stayed there for about two hours before leaving.

After the wedding, we went to Pasar Siti Khadijah to buy snacks and light food for later at the homestay. We bought fruits, drinks, and other small treats to enjoy together. After spending some time there, we returned to the homestay to rest and relax.

Before going for a swim, I took some time to capture photos near the small aesthetic wooden hut at the homestay using my digital camera. The place matched perfectly with my outfit and gave a soft, elegant vibe in the photos. After that little photo session, I finally went for a swim with my cousin.

In the evening, my cousin and I went swimming again while the rest of the family rested. At night, everyone did their own activities. The aunties and uncles played carrom, some cousins played PS4, and I spent my time watching TV and using my phone. The atmosphere was calm, relaxed, and very comforting.

The next morning, we went for one last swim before checking out. We packed everything and left the homestay before 12.00 p.m. On the way back, we stopped at a rest area and enjoyed the food we had brought earlier. It was a simple but meaningful moment to end the trip.

We continued our journey back to Kedah and arrived at my parents’ village around 8.00 p.m. After a long day of travelling, everyone went home, showered, rested, and slept early. It marked the end of a very memorable family trip filled with laughter, food, and beautiful moments together that I will always remember.

A Café Date with My Cousin

By Awliya

 One of my favourite things to do whenever I’m going back to my hometown is spending time with my cousin. This time, we decided to do something different and visit Sulb Café in Alor Setar together. Since it was our first café date, I was quite excited about the experience. I was looking forward to trying the food, taking pictures and creating new memories together.

Our journey started around 5.00 p.m. from my grandmother’s house. Before heading to the café, we made a quick stop at my mother’s uncle’s house. We spent some time chatting and catching up with him before continuing our journey. After almost an hour there, we finally headed to Alor Setar.

Once we arrived at Sulb Café, we took the lift to the second floor. The moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by the interior design and atmosphere. The café featured tables in various shapes and designs that made the space feel unique and modern. The soft colour palette also created a calm and aesthetic vibe.

Since it was the second day of Hari Raya Haji, the café was quite crowded. We chose a table at the back left corner because it felt more comfortable and slightly quieter. After settling down, we scanned the QR code provided to place our order. The ordering process was simple and convenient.

After looking through the menu for a few minutes, I decided to order a Matcha Latte and Chicken Tenders. My cousin chose a Hot Lemon Tea and Mac & Cheese instead. While waiting for our food, we spent our time taking pictures of each other using my digital camera. It was honestly one of the most enjoyable moments of the day.

About fifteen minutes later, our food finally arrived. We immediately started eating while chatting about random things and enjoying each other’s company. We also exchanged our food so that we could taste each other’s orders. It made the experience even more fun and memorable.

The Chicken Tenders looked very promising when they arrived at the table. The chicken pieces were thick, large and quite generous in portion. Unfortunately, the texture was much softer than I expected and lacked the crispiness that I usually enjoy. For a price of around RM20, I personally felt a little disappointed because I have tasted better chicken tenders at a lower price.

My cousin’s Mac & Cheese came in a very large portion. Even after sharing it between the two of us, we still could not finish everything. The portion was definitely worth the price and suitable for sharing. However, the dish was quite dry and lacked the creamy texture that I usually expect from mac and cheese.

One thing that surprised us was that our drinks arrived much later than the food. By the time they reached our table, we were almost done eating. Unfortunately, the Matcha Latte did not meet my expectations. It tasted mostly like milk and lacked the rich matcha flavour that I was hoping for.

On the other hand, the Hot Lemon Tea was surprisingly delicious. The flavour was refreshing and comforting at the same time. It was not too sweet and had a pleasant balance of lemon flavour. Out of everything we ordered that day, it was probably my favourite item.

After finishing our meal, we asked the staff to pack the food that we could not finish. We then continued taking photos around the café because there were so many aesthetic spots. The lighting and interior design made every corner look beautiful in pictures. We spent almost thirty minutes simply enjoying the atmosphere and taking photos together.

Not long after that, my parents arrived to pick us up. Before leaving, we made sure to take a few final photos outside the café. The building exterior looked elegant and gave off an old-money aesthetic vibe. The large Sulb sign also created a beautiful background for photos.

Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the café. The place was clean, comfortable and suitable for spending time with friends or family. The music was calm and relaxing, which added to the pleasant environment. It was a nice place to sit back and unwind.

However, I think the service system could be improved. The staff seemed unsure about which table had ordered certain dishes and had to ask multiple customers before serving the food. In my opinion, the ordering process should be more organised. A smoother system would make the dining experience much better.

Overall, Sulb Café may not be my favourite café in terms of food, but it will always be memorable because it was my first café date with my cousin. The calm atmosphere, aesthetic interior and the memories we created together made the visit worthwhile. I would personally rate my overall experience 5/10. Hopefully, this will be the first of many café dates, and we will discover more hidden gems around Alor Setar and Pendang in the future.

A Comfort Meal with My Family

by Amy!

Recently, I went to Mohd Chan with my family for dinner. This restaurant is very special to me because it is a place that I have been visiting with my family since I was a child. Whenever we want to enjoy a nice meal together, Mohd Chan is usually one of our first choice. 

For dinner, we ordered some of our favourite dishes, including Thai lemon chicken, butter prawn, and sizzling tofu. It was actually my first time trying the sizzling tofu, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The tofu was soft, flavourful, and went really well with the sauce. 

The butter prawn was also enjoyable, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the Thai lemon chicken. It has always been my favourite dish whenever I visit Mohd Chan. The lemon flavour was not too sour, and it was perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness. The combination of flavours made the dish very appetising, and I would honestly rate it 10/10!. Even if I ate it everyday, I do not think I would ever get tired of it!

For dessert, I ordered caramel pudding. However, I was a little surprised because it did not really taste like pudding to me. Instead, it had a texture that was more similar to jelly. Unfortunately, it was not really my taste, although I still enjoyed trying something different. 

Overall, I had a wonderful dinner with my family. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, and it reminded me of many happy memories from my childhood. If you ever visit Mohd Chan, I highly recommend trying their Thai lemon chicken because it is definitely a dish worth ordering! 🍋🍗😝
