Alright, alright...I should not boycott all other vouchers just because of my dissatisfaction over Groupon voucher. So here I am back again on voucher reviews. This time will be from Dealmates. The link for the offer will be as below:
RM19.90 for a Homemade Set Meal of Soup + Main + Dessert + Drinks


Once again I will make your life easier by explaining it to you here. This is a 3 course set meal + drink with choices. The choices are:



SOUP
Mushroom 
OR 
Classic Tomato

+

MAIN
Cajun Chicken
OR
Fish & Chips
OR
Pasta with Chicken / Beef Bacon / Vegetarian with Marinara / Aglio Olio / Carbonara sauce

+

DESSERT
Bread & Butter Pudding
OR
Apple Crumble
OR
2 Scoops of Ice Cream

+

DRINK
Lemon Juice
OR
Iced Lemon Tea
OR
Coke / Light Coke

So here is the place. Not hard to be located as it is right below at the corner of Casa Tiara Service Apartments. Wi-fi is available with password protected. Parking here does not cause any problems at all because next to this apartment is the Carrefour Hypermarket. You can use their parking space.

Firstly, you will be served with their drinks. A choice of Lemon Juice, Iced Lemon Tea or Coke. So here you are with my choice.

Next is the soup where you have the choice of Mushroom Soup or Classic Tomato. As you all know, mushroom soup is always my favourite and indeed the mushroom soup taste good and really brings you the homemade feel. Especially when you are always been served with a smile by the chef, waiter, waitress, boss, lady boss and a cat...meow. A cat? No cat here sorry. Huhu...
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: N/A
Overall: 4/5 - Way way better than Rush Hours Gastropub. 

Well, this is what my main purpose here for which is their main course. A selection of Cajun Chicken, Fish & Chips and Pasta with chicken/beef bacon/vegetarian marinara/aglio olio/carbonara sauce. Hoho...without a doubt I will choose Pasta with carbonara sauce which is my favourite as well. The taste of carbonara is different than any carbonara that I tasted so far. Very special and unique. Usually carbonara is more to milky cheesy taste. For this one, it has thicker cheese and lack of milky taste.
Outlook: 3/5 
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: N/A
Overall: 3/5 - the white color thingy at the side of the plate should have clean it. I still prefer a milky carbonara

A complete meal course always comes with an attractive dessert. The choices for my desserts are Bread & Butter Pudding, Apple Crumble or 2 Scoops of Ice Cream. So as you can see my choice is because I feel that the other 2 desserts making me feel full even by listen to the name of it. The ice creams are good and I believe they are using Nestlé ice cream to serve us.
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 2/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: N/A
Overall: 2/5 - It is a normal ice cream but it is way better than the ice cream I ate at Mai Ramen Cafe.


Do not expect this place is big. It is a small place which probably less than 300sf. However the decoration is nicely done. About how good is this deal, I will say actually it is not a must grab deal. Unless it is RM10.00 and that is what we call a deal that we couldn't resist.


Total damage: RM19.90
Ambiance: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Service: 5/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Will I Revisit?: Maybe

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

Have you ever stay in a Durian Farm before? No? At Bao Sheng Durian Farm, you can do it! This 6.7 acres durian farm has been established in Balik Pulau since 1959. It really took them full 60 years to get the fruit of their hard work. Their villa is well equipped with air-con, hot shower and LCD TV with hundreds of Blu-Ray quality movies in it! They have existing queen size or king size bed and extra bed can be requested. To get close and personal with the King of Fruit...the accommodation charges will be Deluxe Villa is charged at RM280/night and standard villa will cost you RM180/night. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Image
Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target to your prefer

Skyline Luge, Sentosa

After taking the cable car from Harbourfront to Sentosa Island, Skyline Luge is what you will see when you reach there at Imbiah Lookout. Riding this can get you faster to the Siloso Beach and extremely exciting too! The price is as above and as you can see there is an express queue charges if you got bored of queuing. Luge is a very light sled where over here it is functioned by wheels instead of skate. It slides down the hill without using engines to run it. They have two types of trails which are Dragon Trail and Jungle Trail. Choose either one you prefer but if you choose more than 1 ride, you should try both! Luge is the most dangerous sports in the Winter Olympics. So it is the same goes to this. You must adhere to their warnings and instructions at all times to avoid any unwanted accidents happen which will spoiled your entire day.  The first thing to do is to get the right size of helmet. Then, you listen to the instruction on how to control the luge. Do not a

Trang An Boat Tour, Ninh Binh

-
Image
It’s known as the Ha Long Bay of the land. About 150 kilometers from the famous Vietnamese bay where hundreds of islands form a natural wonder is another equally as impressive landscape. This one, known as Trang An, is nowhere near the coast, though. The mountains are connected by rice paddies, not water. You can cycle to them, not sail. And – best of all – they are not full of foreign tourists. Such is the joy of a Trang An boat tour. Trang An Heritage Complex is a part of Ninh Binh province, it is about 100km away from Hanoi city center. If Halong holds an impressive and magnificent beauty, Trang An will be its best rival. Though smaller in size, you will be lost in a wonderland with the karst mountains, lush green forests, sparkling and crystal-clear river and the endless rice field running to the horizon. In general, the cost of entrance fees & boat trip of three routes is the same ( 200.000vnd/ person) on a shared- rowing boat (maximum 4 people/ 1 boat). You can ch

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) -  not my favorite. The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile. RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and

Leaf & Co. Cafe, Petaling Street

-
Image
Last week, I went to another "new" cafe which is known as Leaf & Co near Petaling Street. It is considered new to me because I really cannot keep up the pace of the cafe opening like almost everyday in Klang Valley.  What the cafe is doing is to remain the old looking interior with the old paint already chipping off and cement pasting everywhere. Even the floor is not marbled. How brilliant it is to maintain the retro look of it but not doing any renovation at all.  This is their smoking area which you can sit and relax looking at other people stuck in the jam. This is a kind of old architecture which is quite popular in the past which is have hole at the center of your house. It is really great to see a tree grows inside a shop but I do not know what will happened when it rains. However, I will still compliment the cafe owner for saving their renovation by keep this spot which gives extra brightness inside the shop. Even the tables and chairs are tho

Restoran Soon Sin @Permas Jaya

-
Image
Restoran Soon Sin is one of the biggest chain bakuteh restaurant in Johor Bahru. They have quite a lot of branches in Johor Bahru. I made my visit here to understand why it is so famous in Johor Bahru. Besides selling just Bakuteh, they do sell Lei Cha too. Not having a great start as the boss is so rude and impolite as I taking my photos in his premises. Yes, the chef is the boss for this branch. The bakuteh itself is not include all these internal parts and pork balls. If you want them, you need to pay an extra on top of your existing order. You may want to skip it as you can see they do not cover it and the flies are everywhere. It was really a disgusting scene. They serve their bakuteh according to the pax you have on the table and the price is RM10.00++/pax with just the lean meat and the broth itself only. The broth is delicious for the when you had a few sip in the beginning. After you almost finish the food, you will feel the extreme thirst inside your throat. You

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government tax of 6%. Seriou
