Kampachi Japanese Restaurant @Troika

-
Kampachi opened a new branch near KLCC inside a building which is known as Troika. The main branch inside the Equatorial Hotel has closed down due to the hotel is doing whole building renovation. This branch at Troika just opened this year and they are providing a slightly different type of semi-buffet brunch. RM150++/pax (adult) and RM85.00++/pax (child). Since it is a new place, I always wanted to share the best with my respected Elayne jie to celebrate her birthday.
Semi-buffet to them means there are ala-carte buffet and self-service buffet as well. There are certain dish in this menu which you only can order once which are their premium sashimi and main dish.
Drinks are chargeable and we had a delightful Kirara Rice Tea which cost me at RM18.00++/pot.
This is their premium sashimi which consists of Toro, Kanpachi and Tai. Each pax can only have one slice of each. They are really fresh and delicious but I just hate them for being so stingy. They should have given at least 3 pieces for each pax.
There are 5 main dish to be chosen from and one person only can choose one. The portion is not very big. This is the Tarabagani Yaki (150gm) - Grilled Hokkaido King Crab with elegant sweetness with sophisticated taste. 
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - Indeed it is very sweet and fresh. Not a bad choice if you a seafood lover.

Wagyu Asparagus Maki (2 pieces) - Most Exclusive Beef: Grilled Japanese Wagyu rolled Asparagus cooked in garlic butter.
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall: 4/5 - According to Elayne jie, this taste better than the crab. She likes the pleasuring of the beef melting in her mouth nice and slow. I felt so happy when each chew she made has carved a great smile on her face.

Here is the buffet table which you have to help yourself with all the salads, sushis and sashimis. You can take as many time as you like. This is unlimited.
We picked something that we seldom see in any other buffet is this Salmon Carpricio. In other Japanese restaurant, I only able to order it in ala-carte order. This time I can eat as much as I like!!! Cool!!!
These are their sushis and sashimis which are really delicious and fresh. The work art are not done very shabbily like any other buffet restaurant. Below onwards are their unlimited ala-carte order. 
Ikura Chawan Mushi - Steamed egg topped with salmon roe. You won't get this kind of chawanmushi even if you dine at Zipangu Japanese Restaurant. The best part is you can order as many as you want.
Unagi Tofu - Brailled bean curd topped with grilled eel. The tofu is so tender and soft. Extremely delicious but the unagi is just too small for me to taste.
Kaki Guratan - Gratin of oyster. Very delightful cheese mixed with the fresh oyster which you won't taste any fishy taste in it.
Hotate Butter-Ni - Pan-fried Hokkaido Scallop with Garlic Butter. The scallop is quite big and fresh but this dish is just ok only.
Cha Soba - Common green tea cold buckwheat noodle. Nothing special about this dish. You may skip if you want to.
Gindara Saikyo Yaki - Grilled Cod Fish with butter. This is the best dish among all voted by my Elayne jie. She ordered 4 times for this. I really do agree with her that this is really delicious. The cod fish is so fresh and the best part is the moment you sink your teeth in it, the buttery fragrance roam slowly all over your mouth. 
Salmon Teppanyaki - a very small piece which is just nice to have a good taste of it. This is what I like about this restaurant in serving their ala-carte buffet. All are made in mini-size so you won't get full too quickly and able to taste everything they serve.
Lastly, you will get a plate of dessert like this which consists of matcha ice cream, black sesame ice cream, red bean jelly, mochi and assorted seasonal fruits. You can top up their ice cream unlimited time. This is a great ending for our delicious Japanese buffet. This is the best Japanese buffet I have been so far. The price maybe quite expensive but what I can say the food quality here is very worth every cents you paid.
They have 2 sessions for their brunch which is 11.00am - 12.45pm and 1.00pm - 2.45pm. I love their service too. Even though you might stay a little longer than the scheduled session, they do not do any action that seems like want to chase you away. They still asked us if we would like to add more ice creams and refill our teapot. 5 star service I would say. Kampachi never disappoint me to become the best Japanese restaurant in my heart.
Total Damage: RM368.90
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Taste: 5/5
Food Serving Speed: Fast
Will I Revisit?: Definitely!

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...

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...

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

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 ...

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...
