Restoran How Kee Seafood Village, Bukit Tambun

-
I have to thank one of my client to let me found another gem of seafood restaurant which is located at Bukit Tambun. The restaurant name is called Restoran How Kee Seafood Village. I purposely bring my friend from China to try our local crab which is in my favorite Butter Cream Style. To be honest with you, up to date...this style is not exist in a country as big as China. No joke and I have traveled quite a number of famous seafood restaurants in China and requesting for this style. They just declined me by saying there is no such style. So since it is a new thing for her, I just have to let her taste it!

Butter Cream Crab @RM39.00
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - The friendly lady boss offered us one huge crab which weight at 1.1kg and cook in butter cream dried style. My friend loves the butter fragrance of it with very slight spicy taste which is just enough to tickle our taste bud. She was amazed by it and hope to bring this recipe back home and try by herself. I wonder if she can succeed. Just wish her luck!

Steamed Lime Lala @RM12.00
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - I dislike garlic because of the bad breath after eating it. However, I no longer care. This dish is so delicious beyond imagination and probably the best of all I have ordered. Not just about the meaty lala, just about the gravy itself, you can easily refilled at least two bowls of rice. Really delicious!

Bamboo Prawn @RM18.00
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - Not much prawns in this single bamboo which serves as a plate. However, I have to salute the spicy gravy which has its own uniqueness which is beyond words to be explained. All I can say is try it yourself and you may have the same speechless words like mine. All I can say is delicious.

If you are travelling to Penang from the south or leaving Penang to the south, do drop by here. It is just 5 minutes after exiting Bukit Tambun exit. Absolutely worth your trip to drop by here.
Total Damage: RM76.60
Ambiance: 3/5

Will I Revisit?: Yes

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.

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

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

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.

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

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

Fukuya Japanese Restaurant, Imbi

Fukuya Japanese Restaurant @Jalan Delima beside Levain Boulangerie & Patisserrie is a sister company for Fukuhara Japanese Restaurant off Jalan Ampang. I have been there both and both have given me quite a creepy feeling especially at night. The reason is lack of lighting in their main entrance.  Welcome to Fukuya Japanese Restaurant. The restaurant will be lies behind this curtain. Fukuya is a built on a bungalow land which they modified it to become a Japanese Restaurant. This is their main hall. They have west and east wing for larger size patrons or customer who request for a private room. Nicely decorated napkin. Oh, let me introduce this rare looking face in my blog, May Lynne a.k.a Ginger but she is my friend for 5 long years already. She is a food lover and a BIG eater too! The amazing part about her is she has an authentic honest facial expression when facing food. Her facial expression will spill it all about the food quality with immediate response. So

Victoria Station @Jalan Ampang

-

To me, The Ship and Victoria Station are just the same. They are hardly able to be distinguished. The Ship is using ship as their restaurant concept while Victoria Station are using railway station as their restaurant design. Both of them are famous for their steak and their pricing is about the same. Sometimes I really wonder if they are brother sister company. Anyway, let's try their steak first. 2 platforms with 2 trains which you can sit inside and dine! Obviously better than dining inside our  KTM Train . This is the train at Platform 1. Yup, we are at Victoria Station everybody! Complimentary bread! Yummy! Fresh Honeydew Milk Chef Recommendation: Air Flown Ribeye Steak (Medium Raw) Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 - The price of the beef is calculated by its weight. So the price may be vary. The meat is wonderful. According to my girl since she is the one who can eat beef, the meat melting slowly in her mouth and

There are 2 famous Nyonya restaurants in Melaka. First is the one I have blogged before which is Restoran Nyonya Makko . Second is this restaurant which is known as Restoran Ole Sayang.  You will be given a basket of rice like this to fill in the rice yourself. The charges is per head and not per basket. Puchok Keledek @RM10.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - I wanted to give a score of 4 for this after my first bite but after my subsequent bite the saltiness became greater and make me forget the good taste in the first bite. Ayam Pong Teh @RM12.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 2/5 - This is the signature dish for every Nyonya restaurant but this super hard chicken meat and salty gravy...I really do not know how to appreciate them. I rather eat the potatoes. Cincaluk Telur @RM7.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 1/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 1/5 Overall: 1/5 - Looks like a common omelette, taste also
