Ten Restaurant @Solaris Dutamas

-
Someone told me that Ten Restaurant is the most authentic and the best Japanese restaurant in Malaysia. When someone dares to make that claim, you just have to be there to make a point. Along with me today as you can see is my favorite Japanese food buddy, May Lynne and special guest...her mom!!! Seems like I get the chance to get along with a friend's mom again. Note: Sorry again that my sister's mom has thrown away my receipts and my following pricing and food names may not be accurate. My sister can just say sorry but she chose to tell me to "be flexible" and blame me for simply put my things around. Is this a signal of started taking you for granted? Hmm...
Itadakimasu!
Salmon Carpaccio @RM55.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - The carpaccio sauce which mixed together with the fresh salmon was just supremely delicious. Wow...I seldom use the word "supreme" and now I used so you should try too. If to compare with Xenri D' Garden Terrace, this scores the upperhand.

Sashimi Moriawase @RM110.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - 5 kinds of sashimi with 3 pieces each. When they served, I only see 4 kinds which are Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail and marinated Tuna. So they gave extra pieces to compensate. The marinated Tuna is the most unique ones and it is my first time to taste that. It is quite salty but I find it quite delicious somehow.

Inaniwa Udon Gozen @RM45.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - Just additional RM5.00++ more you can have this lunch set which comes with appetizer of the day, fresh green salad, chawanmushi, Japanese rice (see picture below), tea/coffee(see picture below) and a dessert (see picture below). Their set lunch are so much worth it when the price of just the Inaniwa Udon Gozen cost RM40.00++. As for the taste, they are delicious without a doubt. Really up to their standard.

This is the Japanese rice which comes in the set.
Inaniwa Kamonanban Udon Gozen @RM50.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - This is a hot type of udon which May Lynne's mom is not into cold stuffs like sashimi and cold noodles which happens to be our favorite. However, this taste not bad at all! So big bowl and plenty of ingredients in it! Extremely delicious and worth it!

Una Jyu @RM100.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - This is the longest unagi I have ordered so far. No wonder it is cost so much. We ordered the set but we cancel the rice even though the price is still the same without the rice. Well, I just wouldn't want to waste something we might not able to finish it. The taste of it was really great. I like the soft and tender meat melting slowly inside my mouth while the unagi sauce flowing out slowly from it. Excellent! P.S: The price for the lunch set and without lunch set is the same price.

Chawanmushi - it is delicious and most important part is...it is free.
Having my Earl Grey Tea, while May Lynne is having her coffee and her mom is having a Wild Berries Tea. Excellent after dining experience!
Lastly, we were pampered by their lovely Ice Cream Brulee. Very delicious and that's how it supposed to be like for a premium Japanese restaurant.
We were so full after that superb lunch session. I really like their service when they have a person to standby at our private room's door just to make sure we will be attended when we need. As for their menu, not many choices like I used to dine at other restaurants at similar standard. Only 2 pieces of papers in their large menu which inclusive their dessert in it as well. You can check their menu at their official website to understand what I mean. Maybe you will start repeating the same things after dine in for a couple of times. As for their taste, their standard is very high and will definitely leave a memory that you wouldn't forget. BUT...I just dislike a restaurant like this standard to charge their green tea...urgh...
Total Damage: RM435.00
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Food Serving Speed: Fast
Will I Revisit? Yes

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...

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.

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...

After Magnum has hit Midvalley City and got a tremendous response from it, this time they hit Putrajaya in IOI City Mall.

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

-
Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli...

Thai Boat Noodles is a trendy authentic Boat Noodles originated in Bangkok Kwan Riam Floating Market located between Soi Saereethai 60 and Soi Ramkhamhaeng 187 where the vendors cook food in the little boats. It gains popularity not only with the locals but the tourist alike due to its sophisticated aroma riched soup based with sultry smooth Thai glass noodle that consists of more than 10 ingredients to prepare a piping hot bowl of comfort food. Aroi Thai Boat Noodles will target both Thai food lovers as well as casual diners looking for good food in a fascinating Thai atmosphere. Recently there is an interesting Thai restaurant which is known as Aroii Thai opened at Shaftsbury Square at Cyberjaya. The interesting part is all their food and drinks are only RM1.90++/each. I am not joking and I thought it was a gimmick too when I first heard of this. So I decided to drop by all the to Cyberjaya for a visit.  Aroii in Thai means delicious. This delicious eatery is always pa...

Kedai Kopi Jia Siang Sheng Rou Mian, Lintas Plaza

-
Image
At Kota Kinabalu, you may find Sheng Rou noodle is very common and famous among the local especially this Kedai Kopi Jia Siang which has a lot of customers roaming to their restaurant from day to night. Since they have a crowd like this, I have to make my point for it. Complimentary tofu for each ala-carte order. Tsate normal for me because I prefer a hot tofu. Sheng Rou Soup Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - The ingredients are a lot but the noodle is plain and unimpressive. Noodle plays an important role but they have taken it lightly. It is just a normal commercial noodle not some handmade noodle. Dried Sheng Rou Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Once again, the noodle is the root cause for the low score.  Meat Ball Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - This is a meat ball that will explode gravy in it. That is why they are look so big. As for the taste, not really impressiv...
