#chatter#was watching some old performances and got so emotional#like growl era - so cute. so adorable. so fun#that high note was so effortless. just a walk in the park compared to wolf and mama insane ones#that mama2014 performance when vocal line does tell me what is love <3 like it’s ksoo’s performance really#but they gave lines to bh+jd in it too and they sounded so good as well#and i also watched the mnet cb stage of power since i almost never watch performances of that song and omg. so fun so happy#was in two minds abt his orange hair but it was kind of a look. made him stand out and look so bright and upbeat#literally they were all so cute during that perf but he’s so naturally happy and smiley it suits him so well#then i watched another obsession stage for the millionth time bc i adore that song and concept. no need to say more 🫠#but yeah rewatched the music core cream soda stage again and he.#honestly i don’t even like the song that much but it increasingly grows on me when i watch the live perfs#they’re really back.#but yeah watching old clips and new ones it’s obvious how much he’s improved vocally and i mean his level was already extremely high#once again that killing voice clip of monster. i love when they do things for fun like that bc he adds all these little runs and stuff#and spices up the original lines instead of just singing them the way they were originally#like in the chorus you can hear him over everyone else and the way he so smoothly goes between the different notes and even adds some#it’s fantastic. love when he adds some extra flavour to the lines just because he can (he and xtina have that in common LMAO)#and it comes off as sooo effortless and not strained at all#like how can you sing like that fr#everyday i wake up and still manages to be amazed by this man#the only man

Perched at the edge of a row of shop lots along a residential street in Damansara Heights in Kuala Lumpur is Via Pre. On a sunny Tuesday afternoon, a corner table in this tiny little eatery will bag you some peace and quiet and an unfettered view of the serene, tree-lined parking lot beyond.
It’s the sort of charming place that just screams “neighbourhood restaurant” – a sort of secret spot that only denizens of the area could possibly know about and presumably would love to keep to themselves.
Interestingly, the KL edition of Via Pre (which opened in 2016) is an outpost of the popular eponymous eatery in Penang, which was launched in 2012 by Italian brothers Maurizio Ranauro and Massimiliano Ranauro.
“I started missing KL and my wife is local and has lots of friends and family here, so we thought ‘Why not open an outlet in KL?’ So we found a small place, which is a nice change after the huge restaurant in Penang, which can be more tiring to run,” says the bubbly Maurizio.
Maurizio and Massimiliano both have extensive experience with Italian restaurants as the brothers were once partners at popular Bangsar dining haunt Vineria.It. In 2016, the two decided to shift their attentions to their own baby – Via Pre – and haven’t looked back since.
These days, Maurizio does the day-to-day running of the business as Massimiliano (who serves as the executive chef) is now based in Europe, although he returns once or twice a year to revamp the menu and monitor the quality of the food.
The eatery is tiny but exudes warmth and cheer.
The food at Via Pre features mostly produce imported from Italy with a menu designed around Massimiliano’s travels and experiences as well as recipes gleaned from the brothers’ mother and grandmother in Piedmont, Italy.
There is also a strong health-centric spin on the meals.
“My brother likes everything healthier, so less oil, less sugar and less salt. That’s why we use the air-fryer when we can and only cook with extra virgin olive oil,” says Maurizio.
Start your meal here with the Bruschetta Bisunta (RM28) which is a cross between a caprese salad and traditional iterations of bruschetta. Garlic bread is topped with fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and large wedges of buffalo mozzarella. It is surprisingly filling and offers a far more rewarding experience than classic renditions of bruschetta.
The duck polpette retains a juicy bite but doesn’t have an oily aftertaste.
The Duck Polpette (RM29) is essentially duck breast, pecorino cheese and ground pistachio moulded into balls, breaded and air-fried. The resulting concoction is light, juicy and devoid of that greasy aftertaste so common in deep-fried offerings. As a result, each mouthful offers easy, unencumbered safe passage down your gullet.
Next up, set sail down aquatic channels with the Cozze Della Casa (RM56) which features fresh Australian mussels in a spicy tomato broth. The advertised spiciness is perhaps not quite spicy enough for the average Malaysian, but the mussels are plump and tender and the broth is pleasant with undulating tomato flavours. The schiacciata (Tuscan flat bread) served on the side works as a fantastic sponge for soaking up the flavours of the broth.
Maurizio says that most people who come to Via Pre come for the pasta, so you would do well to try a few here. Like the Aglio Olio Pecorino & Pistachio (RM28), which has become a huge hit since it was introduced a few years ago.
“The pasta aglio olio is a classic dish, but my brother wanted to add pistachios – at first it started as a joke when he was in the kitchen but it’s so good that we kept it on the menu,” says Maurizio.
Pistachios prove to be a winning addition in the pasta aglio olio.
The aglio olio is really yummy – sumptuous yet not heavy at all. The pasta has a good, firm bite while the pistachios offer an understated crunch and the peperoncino (hot chilli pepper) adds a layer of fire and heat. Perhaps what is most surprising about this aglio olio is how un-oily it is, as typical versions tend to be slick and shiny with oil.
Then there is the Linguine Gamberi & Pesto (RM46) which features house-made pesto and fat prawns. The pesto here is sort of like that wallflower in your school who grew up to become rich, powerful and confident. Because at first, the pesto’s presence seems timid, almost indiscernible even, but the more you eat, the bolder and more pronounced it gets until it becomes a tour de force in your palate.
The mushroom risotto is creamy and ridiculously good.
Perhaps the euphoric highlight at Via Pre is the risotto wild mushroom (RM56). Cooked with three kinds of mushrooms and toma cheese (a northern Italian cow’s milk cheese), this hedonistically creamy offering is sensationally good. The mushrooms punctuate the dish with woody notes while the cheese offers a rich, voluptuously full-bodied quality that proves instantly seductive. If you eat only one thing here, eat this.
The veal is tender and still retains juiciness while the sauce that floats around it is addictively good.
From the mains, you could opt for the Saltimbocca (RM56). Here, veal tenderloin slices have been pan-fried before being popped in the oven to finish the cooking process. The meat is succulent and tender while the sauce that coats the meat and the base of the plate is tomato-rich and enhanced with marsala wine, which has seeped into every last pore of the sauce and given it a rich decadence.
If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll probably want to end your meal here with the Panna Cotta Frutta (RM21). The creamy, low-sugar panna cotta has all the requisite wobbliness indicative of a good panna cotta and is silken smooth with a texture like tau foo fah. The berries on top offer a touch of acidity and fruitiness that meld well with the star offering.
Via Pre has been doing well since it opened – the restaurant sees as many diners in its tiny space as it does in the two floors it takes up in its Penang sister restaurant – which is why Maurizio doesn’t want to rock the boat just yet with a new outlet.
“It’s always nice to expand but we are not sure when and if we are going to have another restaurant. Because honestly now, competition is quite stiff because there are so many Italian restaurants around, so people have a lot of options,” says Maurizio.
Via Pre KL 25, Lorong Setiabistari 2 Bukit Damansara 50490 Kuala Lumpur Tel: 03-2011 2003 Open Tuesday to Sunday: 11.30am to 3.30pm; 5.30pm to 10.30pm (closes at 11pm on Friday and Saturday; 10pm on Sunday)

Flourless Bite-Sized Breakfast Muffins
Boy am I ever glad to be on the the other side of that flu! Last Thursday, when I posted my Triple Almond Energy Balls recipe, I thought that after five long days of bedrest I was starting to feel a bit better. Unfortunately, I wound up taking a turn for the worse Thursday evening with some scary flu complications cropping up overnight. My temperature skyrocketed (despite being on fever meds) and my cough became much worse. Luckily I’d already done quite a bit of reading on this year’s flu season because I was so worried about the kids getting it and wanted to know which high-risk symptoms to look for. Based on what I’d read and what my doctor told me, having symptoms improve and then come back even worse than before was bad news (it’s actually one of CDC’s “emergency warning signs” of flu complications). Gulp!
On Friday morning I couldn’t even get out of bed to see the kids. I was nauseous, sweating profusely, and had major chills despite feeling super hot. Adriana came into my room looking concerned and said “Mommy, why you don’t wake up today?” That just broke my heart. I knew I had to get medical treatment right away.
I think it’s been about 15 years since I’ve needed to take antibiotics, but I can’t tell you how grateful I was to have them for this virus, which had turned into bacterial pneumonia. The medicine brought my fever down quickly and I’ve been feeling a bit better each day since—although I still don’t feel like myself. I’m currently operating at about 36%, maybe, lol! I think the flu was extra hard on me because I was already run down from taking care of the kids the week before (I’m so thankful their flu symptoms weren’t as severe as mine…I’ll take one for the team!), and of course nursing through the flu takes its toll on the body. It was a stroke of luck that Eric got by with mild body aches (consider me impressed as he was living off junk food all week!), so he held down the fort while I slept, and slept…and slept some more. Each night, I would collapse into bed at 7pm as soon as Arlo was down (and this early bedtime was in addition to an afternoon nap each day). I’ve never slept that much in my life. (And now I know what it’s like to be a baby/toddler!)
Needless to say, we’re all ready to start a new fresh month and hopefully keep as healthy as we can through the spring. So far March is shaping up to be great—I’m alive, after all. ;) Take care of yourselves everyone…I’m sending you all healthy wishes for a happy month ahead!!
  Flourless Bite-Sized Breakfast Muffins
Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free
These grain-free, kid-friendly muffins are packed with fibre-rich chia seeds and contain only a couple tablespoons of natural sweetener! The almond butter base gives them a deliciously nutty flavour, and overripe bananas lend an extra sweetness. We love serving these mini muffins at breakfast and snack time. Best of all, this recipe is made entirely in a food processor (a blender should work too)—so there’s only one dish to clean when you’re done! I’ve provided optional instructions for preparing larger muffins, if you’d prefer, so be sure to read through the tips. This recipe is inspired by Paleo with Mrs P.
Yield 24 mini muffins plus a few ramekins
Prep time 15 Minutes
Cook time 20 Minutes
Total time 35 Minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (80 g) whole raw almonds*
2 3/4 cup (400 g) chopped overripe bananas (about 3 to 4 large)
1/2 cup (120 g) natural smooth almond butter
1/4 cup (33 g) arrowroot starch
2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds
2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and set aside two 12-cup silicone mini muffin pans or one 24-cup silicone mini muffin pan. There’s no need to grease silicone pans, but if you’re using metal muffin pans, line them with mini paper liners. This recipe makes enough for more than 24 mini muffins, so line an additional 2 to 3 small ramekins with standard-sized paper liners to use up the remaining batter.
Add the almonds to the food processor and process to a fine crumb. Be sure not to overprocess the almonds into butter. If the ground almonds start getting sticky, they can negatively impact the texture of the muffins once baked.
Add the chopped banana to the ground almonds along with the almond butter, arrowroot starch, chia seeds, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and salt. Process the mixture until smooth.
Use a small cookie dough scoop to portion the batter into the muffin pans, filling each until about three-quarters full. Use the remaining batter to fill the ramekins until about two-thirds full.
Bake the mini muffins for about 18 to 22 minutes (I bake for 20 minutes), allowing an additional 6 to 9 minutes for the ramekins to bake through. To test doneness, gently touch the top of one muffin. When ready, they will spring back very slowly. Finished muffins should also have visibly golden edges.
Cool the muffins in the pans/ramekins for 30 minutes before attempting to remove. Carefully slide a knife around each muffin and gently pop it out of the silicone pan. (If using paper liners, the muffins must be cooled completely before removing, or the liners will stick to the muffins when peeled.) I love spreading these muffins with a little coconut oil before serving, but they’re also fantastic topped with chia seed jam. And thanks to the nutty taste and natural sweetness, you can enjoy them plain too. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Tips:
* If you don’t have any almonds on hand, feel free to swap them for walnuts or pecans instead.
  To make a dozen regular-sized muffins, use a 12-cup silicone muffin pan. Fill each mold to two-thirds full and bake for 24 to 26 minutes. If using a metal pan, be sure to line each with paper liners, filling and baking as directed, until they have golden edges and very slowly spring back when touched on the top.
  If you’d like to make these muffins more decadent, try stirring some chocolate chips into the batter! For a crunch, add a couple handfuls of chopped walnuts or pecans.

Based on what I’d read and what my doctor told me, having symptoms improve and then come back even worse than before was bad news (it’s actually one of CDC’s “emergency warning signs” of flu complications). Gulp!
On Friday morning I couldn’t even get out of bed to see the kids. I was nauseous, sweating profusely, and had major chills despite feeling super hot. Adriana came into my room looking concerned and said “Mommy, why you don’t wake up today?” That just broke my heart. I knew I had to get medical treatment right away.
I think it’s been about 15 years since I’ve needed to take antibiotics, but I can’t tell you how grateful I was to have them for this virus, which had turned into bacterial pneumonia. The medicine brought my fever down quickly and I’ve been feeling a bit better each day since—although I still don’t feel like myself. I’m currently operating at about 36%, maybe, lol! I think the flu was extra hard on me because I was already run down from taking care of the kids the week before (I’m so thankful their flu symptoms weren’t as severe as mine…I’ll take one for the team!), and of course nursing through the flu takes its toll on the body. It was a stroke of luck that Eric got by with mild body aches (consider me impressed as he was living off junk food all week!), so he held down the fort while I slept, and slept…and slept some more. Each night, I would collapse into bed at 7pm as soon as Arlo was down (and this early bedtime was in addition to an afternoon nap each day). I’ve never slept that much in my life. (And now I know what it’s like to be a baby/toddler!)
Needless to say, we’re all ready to start a new fresh month and hopefully keep as healthy as we can through the spring. So far March is shaping up to be great—I’m alive, after all. ;) Take care of yourselves everyone…I’m sending you all healthy wishes for a happy month ahead!!
  Flourless Bite-Sized Breakfast Muffins
Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free
These grain-free, kid-friendly muffins are packed with fibre-rich chia seeds and contain only a couple tablespoons of natural sweetener! The almond butter base gives them a deliciously nutty flavour, and overripe bananas lend an extra sweetness. We love serving these mini muffins at breakfast and snack time. Best of all, this recipe is made entirely in a food processor (a blender should work too)—so there’s only one dish to clean when you’re done! I’ve provided optional instructions for preparing larger muffins, if you’d prefer, so be sure to read through the tips. This recipe is inspired by Paleo with Mrs P.
Yield 24 mini muffins plus a few ramekins
Prep time 15 Minutes
Cook time 20 Minutes
Total time 35 Minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (80 g) whole raw almonds*
2 3/4 cup (400 g) chopped overripe bananas (about 3 to 4 large)
1/2 cup (120 g) natural smooth almond butter
1/4 cup (33 g) arrowroot starch
2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds
2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and set aside two 12-cup silicone mini muffin pans or one 24-cup silicone mini muffin pan. There’s no need to grease silicone pans, but if you’re using metal muffin pans, line them with mini paper liners. This recipe makes enough for more than 24 mini muffins, so line an additional 2 to 3 small ramekins with standard-sized paper liners to use up the remaining batter.
Add the almonds to the food processor and process to a fine crumb. Be sure not to overprocess the almonds into butter. If the ground almonds start getting sticky, they can negatively impact the texture of the muffins once baked.
Add the chopped banana to the ground almonds along with the almond butter, arrowroot starch, chia seeds, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and salt. Process the mixture until smooth.
Use a small cookie dough scoop to portion the batter into the muffin pans, filling each until about three-quarters full. Use the remaining batter to fill the ramekins until about two-thirds full.
Bake the mini muffins for about 18 to 22 minutes (I bake for 20 minutes), allowing an additional 6 to 9 minutes for the ramekins to bake through. To test doneness, gently touch the top of one muffin. When ready, they will spring back very slowly. Finished muffins should also have visibly golden edges.
Cool the muffins in the pans/ramekins for 30 minutes before attempting to remove. Carefully slide a knife around each muffin and gently pop it out of the silicone pan. (If using paper liners, the muffins must be cooled completely before removing, or the liners will stick to the muffins when peeled.) I love spreading these muffins with a little coconut oil before serving, but they’re also fantastic topped with chia seed jam. And thanks to the nutty taste and natural sweetness, you can enjoy them plain too. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Tips:
* If you don’t have any almonds on hand, feel free to swap them for walnuts or pecans instead.
  To make a dozen regular-sized muffins, use a 12-cup silicone muffin pan. Fill each mold to two-thirds full and bake for 24 to 26 minutes. If using a metal pan, be sure to line each with paper liners, filling and baking as directed, until they have golden edges and very slowly spring back when touched on the top.
  If you’d like to make these muffins more decadent, try stirring some chocolate chips into the batter! For a crunch, add a couple handfuls of chopped walnuts or pecans.
