Suddenly crave for hot soup… those clear soup type…. so I went to Soup Restaurant for my lunch… or I should say is tea time? hahha…This place is always full of people during lunch / dinner time… but luckily when I went there weren’t much customer… aiya… who will take their lunch during 4pm ler?

I didn’t bring my camera along.. so just use my phone camera took the pictures… but luckily there is this thing call photoshop… haha…. at least can sharpen the colour …

Since I’m craving for soup… definitely need to order soup rite.. and as expected.. the soup will be small size…but it was really nice… the taste of traditional chinese herbs is just nice … not too watery or too thick… niceee…. yummy…

Soup definitely has to come with rice… so I ordered their famous Steam chicken ginger rice… the ginger came with on a side plate… and they even sell this in bottle… forgot the price d… hehee…

The steam rice quite nice as well… smells nice after added in the ginger…. yum yum….

Last but not least, I also ordered their famous fried potato leaves with chili….. erm.. not spicy ei…. I think this dish is not special at all… and it was the most expensive of all 3 dishes -> $8.50 =.=

Lesson learnt: Don’t order side dish like this… not worth it at all…

Overall… food is nice here.. service also good (cuz no other customer).. hahaha…. but a bit pricey and the portion quite small… 

Went to KL on Labour Day weekend… took 10 hours bus to reach my destination =.= really wtf lor… not going to tk coach d… wasted whole afternoon on the road nia… haiz….. so sad…

As I reached quite late (5.30pm in the evening)… not much time for me to go to Petaling Street for their Ikan Bakar d… and friend wanted to go Jalan Alor for their hawker food… so we went there for dinner…. food there not bad.. but very pricy lor compare to other part of hawker centre…. hmm.. it’s one of the tourist attraction.. I’m a tourist in my own country!

After dinner I was exhausted… so just checked in hotel and get an early rest…. forgot to take pic of my hotel… =.=

Breakfast next day was toast bread & tea for me… half boil egg & coffee for friend… we woke up quite late… haha.. dragged till 11am only out from room.. too lazy to move around d

First stop: Midvalley~! Shopping day… yay! But got stucked in the jam outside Midvalley… *sigh*

First thing to do when we reached there: Movie tickets for Thor! Movie quite nice lor… read my review on Thor here.

After window shopping around and still didn’t get what I want… we went for our lunch… late lunch @ Sushi Zenmai… one of my favourite … but friend said the food tasted so so only =.= si pek yim jim Well… cuz he’s very into japanese food… so basically to his standard are the japanese food in Cititel Penang / Ryoma…

I have never been to Cititel Japanese food.. I heard it was quite nice.. but friend said seems like they have changed a new chef… so the food not so nice already…

But my review about Ryoma ~ food so so only.. heheh…

After lunch… we went for movie – Thor… and since I still can’t get what I want… we headed to Sunway Pyramid… vroom~! Need to rush there cuz we wanted to catch the next movie ~ The Lost Bladesman.. I have my review about The Lost Bladesman here.

The movie was at 11.40pm… we went for our dinner at Tony Roma… food not that nice… haiz…

After movie reached hotel was 2am… super sleepy d…. zzzz……….

Next day… we wanted to have a late check out…. but hotel doesn’t allow it =.= so dragged myself up from the cozy bed to KLCC~!

Lunch @ Yuzu … another Japanese restaurant… hahaha…

Friend said the food quite nice… and the price quite reasonable as compare to Cititel & Ryoma…. hmm.. I have no idea.. he’s the Pro here….. he said I listened lo…

But then the set he ordered quite worth it lor…. RM 38 for a lot of varieties… not bad….

Then..headed to LCCT for my flight back…. *sigh*… such a short weekend… there goes my holiday…. sad

My ex colleague & his gf paid me a visit on the weekend of Labour day… as I wouldn’t be around, I met him up for dinner on a Thursday night…

Honestly… I don’t know what’s nice in Vivo… erm.. with a reasonable price is hard to find lor… then I saw this White Dog Cafe has combo promo… thought it will be like Modesto’s so dai… so we have a try over here ….

Turned out the combo cost us $60…. bt the portion very small lor… super bo tat… not really filling…

Ended up I brought them to try gong cha… wahahah…..

I was craving for dumplings for few days… so I just went to Ding Tai Feng @ Jurong Point for my lunch on one of the weekend….

I would like to have some other food… so I just got this xiao long bao…. and also the hot & spicy soup… and also a cold red dates longan

Turned out the xiao long bao not nice at all.. the hot & spicy soup not spicy oso >.<

Next I went to Thai Express as I was craving for their mango salad…. and I also ordered seafood tom yam on the go…

Their mango salad definitely worth the $… but not for the tom yam … heheh…

So today was a eat n grow fat day

Craving for Mexican food… and since girlfriend and I tried Cafe Iguana @ Clark Quay before… so we decided to go for Muchos which is also in Clark Quay…

We thought the food portion is gona be big… so we ordered all for sharing…

Nachos with Salsa… famous snack in Mexican food….

Then we went for some pita bread or duno what they called that… portion super small la =.=

The main course we went for grilled chicken + vege…. also very small portion >.<

To make things worse… they do not allow us to top up d sauces =.= wtf… super cheapskate lor…

Food actually not bad… just the portion too small…. and service not that good…

Last but not least… a scope of ice-cream for dessert!

It’s been awhile since I last meet up with besties…. And I guess this would be the last time for us to meet up till we see each other again in a few months’ time…

Anyway… I was craving for pork ribs and Sher suggested this place ~ Smoky Jack … she said the pork ribs there quite nice…. and the only pork ribs place I know is Chicago rib house… which we wouldn’t want to try that again…. So… we went for this one…

As Sher wouldn’t want to eat very much, Lam is a light eater… and I am on my diet as well…. So we ordered some smaller portion’s food to share….

They served us the appetizer ~ bread + butter for start…

As for our orders… we opted wild mushroom soup + minestrone….

The wild mushroom soup was really nice… where else the minestrone was way too diluted…

Then we ordered Duck breast appetizer

smoked salmon’s salad….

And main course definitely was pork ribs~!

Look at the size of this pork ribs and the one we had in Chicago Rib house before!!!! So much different and the price in Smoky Jack is so much cheaper… and the taste is definitely better!!!

Based on personal view, I’m so not going to visit Chicago rib house again for their pork ribs… Smoky Jack will definitely be my choice for pork ribs!

Another food post I just love food… hahahha

Friend did a farewell dinner for me at Ferringhi Garden… Well… he actually let me choose from either Ferringhi Garden / Suffolk House… or any places I wanted to… but then… I tried to look for the places and non of it that I really prefer…. So… ended up we were at Ferringhi Garden…..

Bad start for this…. There were some gathering for some media company there… so it create so much noise to the environment tat suppose to be quiet

Next…. The food we ordered all not available…. Real bad la! I wanted lamb shank -> don’t have… Friend wanted a combo -> don’t have either =.=||| It was quite a disappointment lor…. and the staff that served us was totally new and he didn’t know much of what is not available either… >.< sien… spoils the mood

Haih…. But never mind la… since I’m there d… need to enjoy…. So I ordered a rack of lamb…. And friend ordered the combo named: Surf & Turf… consisted steak & lobster….

And as appetizer on sharing… we went for mushroom soup

Overall the food quite nice… hehehe… maybe with the right person and the right environment really gives a nice chemical to everything

Anyway… the environment was quite nice…. Natural, cooling & relaxing enough when you are surrounded by the all the green plants…  and it was quite windy that day… exclude the noise from the event (which they ended pretty early so we can still have quiet moments), the ambiance was really nice…

But then… food wise… a bit pricy… I think is more expensive than The Sire Museum which they have the same boss … hmm….

On a Saturday morning on Feb…. Friend and I went to round Penang Island from Tanjung Bungah -> Teluk Bahang -> Balik Pulau -> home….

First stop: Teluk Bahang Dam

I always wanted to go this dam … I find the view there very very nice… but it was drizzling that day…. So we can only stop for awhile…

Next we stopped at this small village/farm/garden… don’t know what should I call it… for Laksa~! Best things… I forgot to take pic >.< what a waste… the owner turned his garden / farm into a very homey business…. He even planned to have homestay at his farm… not bad huh?

Then we drove till Balik Pulau… they have moved the market’s stalls to a new food court…. Friend wanted to stop by for some food….

So we shared it out… he is very bad… always stuffed me with food =.=\\

Anyway… it was a good day… sunny day with clouds… definitely with good mood

Looking for a trip to Penang?
