Casual dining vs. eating at home clash

What will get the consumer back in the restaurants spending like before? Create a value, provide convenience, good service and quality food are just the start.

The solution is right in front of our eyes: Authentic recipes with quality ingredients that are not easy to produce at home.

hmm..across this article in The Hot Pot .

Nowadays, cafe , restaurants...are so many in here and there. People today like to eat outside!?...hmm..Maybe when the lifestyle gradually increase or become good, people search something which give them more comfortable lifestyle..Is that any different for a same recipe which cook at home and restaurant..ha. I think there are different.

For a restaurant and cafe, their business point is repeat customers based. For sustain the business, the concept , the design, the menu , the speciality in the cafe are the main marketing parts. People now love nice environment and service. People will pay for that if valuable and reasonable.

That's why the cafe in kepong here..ha..many style..during 8pm onward, you can see the crowd .Some went there for dining; some for drinking and chat. Besides, you can see majority are young generation .ha..

The 'life ' of a cafe bring the customers back .

Natural is obligatory...hmm..think about it..

A breed apart

What bumps one chocolate into the premium ranks while leaving others behind? It boils down to this: "Ingredients must be top quality," says Richard Benson, director of research and development, North America Innovation, Barry Callebaut USA, Chicago.

That means pure vanilla and sweeteners that consumers read as "real."

"A baking chip can have dextrose in it to help stop it from smearing," notes Michelle Frame, director of confectionery R&D, Kerry Ingredients & Flavors, Elk Grove Village, IL. "But that's one of the ingredients that, if someone's looking for a premium bar, they're not going to want to see." Instead, old-fashioned sugar is the most common choice, along with evaporated cane juice, which "can add additional brown notes that blend nicely with chocolate's flavor," she says.

For other flavorings, natural is obligatory. Natural flavors often require higher use levels and have a shorter shelf life, and they have a certain transparency that leaves little cover for any faults in the chocolate itself. "You've got nothing but the cocoa beans for the flavor profile," Frame says. That means the beans had better be good.

New Image...

o.o..yeah..ha.new image for my blog..hmm..this better.
It looks fresh and cheer !
Many ideas about food..hee..will share here..the chocolate..o..^^

Today, back to UKM again..yesterday din sleep well..Actually last few days also insomnia.Anyway, the mind still alert. Sometimes, when too alert, the thing seen not too good.ha
after attending the etiqa BOP, and after making the decision. The mind started to think and think. Is that the time i go in now?Is that the time?hmm...think and think..
After talking to a friend in the phone that nite, i found the answer. Why i will ask such the question..ya..i found that, i am not confident with that..maybe to me..although, i know, the final semester is tough..plus, take up some of the tuition class. Moreover, the etiqa (gradually take the place)..ha.Conducting the class..hmm..ya, it is not easy. The responsibility is there, the efforts to make good care on their subjects is not an easy job. There require many things..hmm..
Maybe, sometimes..i too care about it...when u had make the decision, u care as the hoping is there.The aim is there.ha..ya..honestly. ha..no wonder how, care is care, let bring the care to the action.That my answer. Think too much and din make any efforts...really not valid. So, i will try.i will make the efforts for the class, semester and the etiqa. ( as i found something different from the previous environment).
i believe, i can crop with..i dare to try ..

Today, after conducting my class,went back UKM. Miss UKM...ha..went there for a swim.
All the surrounding very familiar ; the road , the trees still the same. The people , the students not much. Quiet and silent.
A relaxing and enjoying time there. I spent one hour in there.suddenly, something come across my mind. 4 years in UKM..taking food science and management. Last time, when choosing the course, still struggling.ha..now..will come to the final year, final semester. Good, relief..
The song below in the same time, came across my mind. ya. when i was first year student, i was searching the sky in UKM..
Come to final year, everything will be ok . The sky , the road still there.Some how, the people will change, will go.ha..finally, search the others sky.
The final year, final sem..really have to cherish. This time, i will make sure, i won't make myself so tired again..cheer!
Keep move on..the sky is there for me.

该不该搁下重重的壳

寻找到底哪里有蓝天

随着轻轻的风轻轻的飘

历经的伤 都不感觉疼

我要一步一步往上爬

等待阳光静静看着它的脸

小小的天 有大大的梦想

重重的壳裹着轻轻的仰望

我要一步一步往上爬

在最高点乘着叶片往前飞

任风吹干

流过的泪和汗

总有一天我有属于我的天

我坚持的都值得坚持吗
我所相信的就是真的吗
如果我敢追求我就敢拥有吗
而如果都算了不要呢
或许吧或许我永远都不会遇见他
或许吧或许我太天真了吧
属于我的昨天之前的结局
我决定我的决定
属于我的明天之后的憧憬
我迷信我的迷信
属于我们点点滴滴的伤心
我们要各自忘记
属于我们闪闪发亮的爱情
我们再一起努力
属于风的那就去飞翔吧
属于海洋的那就汹涌吧
属于我们的爱该来的就来吧
为什么不敢呢不要呢?
是他吧命中早就注定了的那个他
是他吧他原来就在这里啊
属于我的昨天之前的结局
我决定我的决定
属于我的明天之后的憧憬
我迷信我的迷信
属于我们点点滴滴的伤心
我们要各自忘记
属于我们闪闪发亮的爱情
我们再一起努力
属于我的昨天之前的结局
我决定我的决定
属于我的明天之后的憧憬
我迷信我的迷信
属于我们点点滴滴的伤心
我们要各自忘记
属于我们闪闪发亮的爱情
我们再一起努力
属于我们点点滴滴的伤心
我们要各自忘记
属于我们闪闪发亮的爱情

我们还要努力
