Tommy Le Baker @Viva Residency

-
Tommy Le Baker is opened and managed by a local Chinese, Mr. Tommy Lee whom mastered his bakery skills at France. By bringing his wonderful breads and pastries to Malaysia in a small shop at Viva Residency, Sentul. Awkwardly, the restaurant does not open for breakfast which is pretty surprising for me. They served their bakeries for lunch and dinner. Of course, you can have your afternoon tea here too. But I doubt you can have your dinner here during weekends and public holidays because they closed at 6pm.

 They make fresh breads, sandwiches and pastries in the tiny shop itself. The shop is so tiny which their seat is pretty limited and lack of privacy as the tables are almost sticking with each other.

My spoiled princess sister once again has to tag along with her brother. She seems to be obligated all the time. Hopefully she won't get pissed off one day.
That is the boss, Mr. Tommy Lee that I mentioned earlier communicating with his customer in French.
Ready made sandwiches and pastries.
Breads here are slightly expensive than you buy from Breads Talk and other well-known bakery shops but it is worth every penny.
Croissant @RM10.80
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - I love the whole hot cheesy in it with fluffy bread.

Quiche with cheese @RM11.90
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - My belovd sister loves this the most because to her, it has more things to bite than just the flour. Silly her!

 We did take away an Apple Tart and a Normand Chicken after that. Normand chicken @RM11.80 was good but the Apple Tart @RM9.80 was a letdown. Maybe I still prefer a hot apple tart than a cold one.

 Overall, I believe the boss is doing all these out from his passion in breads. He is making all these with all his heart and soul to bring to people around him that his love towards them. However, I do hope he can start his business during breakfast hours.

 Total Damage: RM56.00
Ambiance: 2/5
Service: 3/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Will I Revisit?: Yes to buy a loaf of bread.

Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room @The Gardens Mall

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

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 ta...

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!

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. Prawn Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - As I mentioned in my previous post at Raodifang, I just hate to eat a prawn mee with small prawns in it. Loh Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Nothing special for an expensive small portion.

Restoran Robson Heights Fresh Seafood @Brickfields

At the same area with Restoran Siu Siu  at Brickfields, there is another seafood restaurant which is known as Restoran Robson Heights Fresh Seafood.  Steamed Catfish @RM156.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - The taste is fresh and good but the problem is they chose the fish which has a lot of fats in it. So there is barely meat left for 12 of us. It is a very unthoughtful choice by the chef. Lala in Superior Soup @RM45.00 Outlook: 2/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste:2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Nothing wrong with their delicious superior soup but it is just the lala which is not fresh at all. I cannot believe they still highly recommended us to take. I feel they are trying to sell of their not fresh lala away quickly. Paku Pakis @RM30.00 - This ridiculous plate of vegetable which is not really delicious but cost RM30.00. Chacoal Tofu @RM28.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 - It i...

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 ...

Calypso Cabaret Ladyboy Show @Asiatique The Riverfront

-
Image
Hatyai or Pattaya may have the famous reputation in a Ladyboy Show but Bangkok is not that bad as well. For those who does not know what a ladyboy means in simple English is transsexual from a man become a woman. Hopefully you are much clearer now. There is a demand for this in Thailand. So I am very determine to watch a show where all the performers on the stage were man. This is how the seating like and you can choose any seat you want when purchasing the ticket. My advice is to choose the middle seat and possibly more to the front. For now, seat back and relax and enjoy the rest of their show in my photos below. Can you imagine they were man? Even our local girls do not have such a figure. How do they look? Seriously, you will think they looks like male from your first glance. There are 16 different shows pack in one hour show.  From a sentimental show to... ...a funny one! This one does not look local to me but he can really spread... Acti...

Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong, Bandar Baru Sentul

This is my first time dining at Sentul and glad to know this great Chinese restaurant which is known as Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong. This is the crowd at 6.00pm on Sunday. Crazy right? Let you see from another angle. They just own one shop lot but seems like owning an extra 4 parking space but still they are people standing and waiting for their seat including me! Curry Fish Head @RM25.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature. You can choose a normal fish meat or a fish head like this. The curry is not really spicy at all. It contains more coconut milk taste than the curry itself. The fragrance of the curry and the coconut milk work perfectly. I can smell it before it is served. The fish heads are soft, tender, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to everyone to try. Ginger Squid and Prawn @RM18.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 4/5 - Hardly taste the ginger but what makes me...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

The Ship @Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL

-
Image
The Ship is one of the oldest steakhouse in Malaysia. So expectation on them are truly high. They are creative enough to decorate the whole restaurant like an old warship concept. Their waiter/waitress dressed like a sailor and their managers dressed like captains.  They have other branches in Bukit Bintang, Pertama Kompleks, Petaling Jaya, Batu Feringghi (Penang) and Sri Bahari (Penang) Complimentary bread Complimentary Salad Escargots Bourguinonne Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: N/A Overall: 3/5 - Escargot is a sea snail. Maybe when you heard of snail you might already say NO to it. Let me assured you that, if a chef in the restaurant knows how to cook it well, it can be extremely delicious. Trust me. But The Ship does not make it that way. So you can skip it if you like. A close shot on how you eat the escargot.
