two minds two voices.

Every month, I always ALWAYS crave for the same food over and over again. I know, its crazy. I could tell people that I’m craving for this particular food one day and they would always say, “Didn’t you just eat it last week?” the answer would always be yes. Although, there are only a few that are worthy enough for me to crave over and over again each month.

If you’re close to me or if you follow me on my social networks, you would have seen this coming; Yes. It’s my #1 favorite food ever, Ambuyat!


I have been loving ambuyat for as long as I can remember. Though, I am not quite sure when was the first time I tried them but I knew I dipped them in sweet soy sauce before the actual dip for ambuyat. You eat ambuyat with many side dishes as well but it depends to your own preferences.

I love eating my ambuyat with sayur kangkung, lalap, daging urat, hati buyah and telur dadar (I googled and telur dadar is omelet…..WHAT. I had no idea!!!!) and if you think you recognize those side dishes, yes, they are from Aminah Arif. They honestly make the ambuyat taste extra delicious. If you haven’t tried ambuyat, I would totally recommend this but I know not all will like it. I know I do!!!


Nasi Ayam Penyet (Smashed chicken with rice) would go second because I somehow always crave for them many times in every month too. A month without ayam penyet (smashed chicken) even ONCE would make me feel incomplete. Ayam penyet always comes with sambal (sauce typically made from a variety of chili peppers and secondary ingredients such as shrimp paste, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, shallot, scallion, sugar, lime juice, and rice vinegar or other vinegars; Thanks Wiki) and it could either be spicy or not BUT I personally think ayam penyet should be eaten with spicy sambal!


Third would be Chlocits’ Banoffee Pie! According to my friend Wikipedia, Banoffee pie is an English dessert pie made from bananas, cream and toffee from boiled condensed milk, either on a pastry base or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter. Some versions of the recipe also include chocolate, coffee or both.

THIS has got to be my favorite dessert ever! I always have random moments where I would crave for banoffee pie and I have to say that chlocits’ has the best banofee pie ever. Their banoffee pie always taste so fresh and it is always so crunchy! But what I love about Chlocits’ banoffee pie other than those two I mentioned; it is also not sweet, regardless of the cream on top of the pie. I can finish the whole thing by myself unlike the rest of the desserts. 10/10 for chlocits and I think their banoffee pie is the reason I crave for them all the time!

I’m pretty sure I have more cravings but that is it for now as I can’t find other photos of the food I crave all the time on my phone and I was quite surprised to be honest because I am the type of person who takes photos of food, regardless where, what kind of food or who I’m with! It gets on people’s nerves but please love me as I am people.

So this morning .... I got myself a Mr. Softy ice cream.

You guys are probably thinking yeah, Liyana big deal you got yourself an ice cream. Well, you won't be saying it's no big deal when I tell you how much I've been craving for it.

A few weeks ago:

As you all know, from my previous post, Nash and I looooovvve to eat. (If you haven't read it, it's the KNK post hehe) That, of course, includes desserts so we're always on the hunt for good ones. One day, we both decided to grab Mr. Softy ice cream from Jerudong Beach since the ice cream truck is always there. However, Nash left out one important detail when he told me about it. He didn't tell me that that specific ice cream truck does not serve chocolate ice cream. And I prefer (in the strongest sense of the word) chocolate ice cream. 

Craving +1, Heartbreak +1

A few days after:

I insisted on another trip to Jerudong beach in hopes of luck being on my side that day. Still no chocolate ice cream.

Craving +2, Heartbreak +5

One week ago:

I arrived home from Uni one day and as soon as I parked my car, I heard the ice cream truck music playing. I dashed out of my car and ran to the house gate where I found my dad staring at me like I've lost my mind. I looked at him and said "I HEAR MR. SOFTY" with crazy looking eyes. He just continued to stare at me and I said "THAT MUSIC IS THE ICE CREAM TRUCK". It took my dad a few seconds to register that his 20 year old daughter is unfortunately still a kid at heart, but he finally replied "Angkat tangan now". So we both frantically waved our arms up in the air while the ice cream truck slowly passed by us....................

Craving +10, Heartbreak +100

This morning:

We all know Mondays are a drag. It's especially a drag for me because I have to wake up for a one hour accounting tutorial class at 8 am in the morning. And this particular morning, Sabrina and I had to go to 3 different organizations to submit letters for an assignment. Long story short, it was a busy morning. On the way to grab some lunch, we saw ...... the ice cream truck.

This was me for at least half a minute:

*SCREAAAMMSSSS* *SCREEEAAAMSSS* *SCCCCCRREEEEEEEAAAAMSSSSS*

We didn't get the chance to stop by because it was at the other side of a main road.

On the way back to campus, we were about to turn into a parking lot when we saw ........ the ice cream truck again.

This was me the entire time as we made our way to the ice cream truck:

*SCREAMSSS* *SCCCRREEEAAAMSSS* *SCRRREEEEEEEEAMMMMSSSSS* DREAMS DO COME TRUE *SCRRREEEEAAAMMMSSS* *takes my wallet out while still screaming* 

I opened the car door, still shrieking and it went like this:

Me: *shrieks uncontrollably* OH MY GODDDDDDD
Sabrina: "Ok ok Liyana Ok SHHH SHHH ok go down now. I'll wait here"
Me: *still shrieking*
Sabrina: "Liyana Shh"

So I happily went to buy my ice cream. I was all smiles and as I made my way back to the car, Sabrina snapped some pictures.




Sometimes, she acts like a proud mother. *cries tears of joy*
