Tanzini Upperdeck @ G Hotel

-
Tanzini restaurant is located inside G Hotel at Level 28. This restaurant divided into two distinctive sectionswhich are Tanzini Level 28 is serving Italian and modern European fusion menu (set dinner and a la carte) while the Upperdeck is our fine dining with a touch of French (set dinner only). Tanzini Level 28 opens for Lunch and Dinner while Upperdeck is dinner only. The picture above is the Upperdeck. I have tried to book a seat here for 2 times because they always run company events at this section. Finally, I succeeded in my third attempt.
Their sofa seats are really huge and they recommend us to sit together on the same sofa. Their dinner set always change regularly. You might not see the same menu like below after 2 - 3 months from now. This idea is brilliant to have their very own loyal customers to visit them regularly to taste something different than before. They have 3 types of different dinner courses which are Expose Menu (3-course) @RM215++/pax, Explore Menu (5-course) @RM280++/pax and Experience Menu (7-course) @RM350++/pax. The difference is the number of appetizer, soup and main course. 
Their complimentary bread was pretty disappointing for a French cuisine. Not warm, not fragrant and not really impressive at all. We have a very high expectation on bread especially a 5 star restaurant.
Each of us ordered their Expose Menu which consists of 1 appetizer or soup, 1 main course and 1 dessert. Their selection is extremely limited. You do not have luxurious choices to make. They only have 3 types of appetizer, 1 type of soup, 3 types of main course and 2 types of dessert to choose from.
Scallop from Hokkaido, Japan
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall: 4/5 - Consists of Seared Hokkaido Scallop, “Truffle of the Sea”, Chicken Emulsion, Matcha Nori Streusel. The scallop is really so sweet and fresh by itself but the devilish truffle sauce has enhanced the taste of it into a whole new level. It is an extremely delicious dish. You would wish the portion to be bigger.
Whelk from Bordeaux, France
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 1/5
Overall: 2/5 - Consists of Whelk Carpaccio, Seaghetti in Thai Dried Shrimp, Smoked Cod Roe. Seaghetti means the normal seaweed that is presented like a spaghetti. It is just too salty which makes your whole tongue numb! It is very disappointing dish. I do not see the highlight of this dish at all but saltiness.
Intermission - Sorbet. A great savior for me to clean the saltiness on my tongue.
Red Mullet from Brittany, France
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 2/5
Overall: 2/5 - Consists of Oven Finished Red Mullet, Pickled Beet, Red Mullet Essence, Black Quinoa. I can't believe their main course is so small portion which I thought it is their appetizer too. No wonder they have 7 courses which consists of 2 main courses in their Experience Menu which cost at RM350++/pax. As for the taste, nothing impressive about this small piece of fish meat. It is a little salty but not as salty as the seaghetti.
Blackmore's Wagyu from Vistoria, Australia
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall: 4/5 - Consists of Saikyo Miso Marinated 600 Days Grain Fed Wagyu, Carrot & Cucumber Slaw, Natural Jus. This steak is around 50gram only even my picture might shown it quite big to you. This is one of the best dish for that night. The steak is made medium rare and the texture of it is simply delightful. The majestic part of it is you enjoy the true beef meat with a little spices needed to enhance the taste of it. You would wish this in a bigger portion.
Earth
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Consists of Nitro Jerusalem Artichoke Gelato, Hazelnut Sponge, Skins, Dark Muscovado Sugar Floss. The ice cream tastes very unique to me because I haven't experience something like this before. The spongecake is filled with hazelnut fragrance in it which is really delicious. However, I do not see the meaning of these combination. They somehow is good by their own. 
Grapefruit Shortcake
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - Consists of Grapefruit-Campari Orb, Toasted Almond Cake, Cereal Whipped Dulcey 32%, Mandarins. You need to knock on the Grapefurit-Campari orb before you start to eat. Mix a little with the shortcake to taste it. The grapefruit taste a little too strong for us. It somehow carries a little bitterness in it. However, I love the shortcake. It carries a little crunchy with a delightful almond taste in it.
This is how you knock on it. The inside is empty.
I have been always wanted to be here but somehow I am not very impressed with their menu. I hope they have a better menu with more choices in it after a few months.The ambiance here is truly relax and wonderful. I really enjoy the environment even though there is no spectacular view to appreciate. Overall, I recommended to try this place at least once for the experience but definitely not becoming their regular customer.
Total Damage: RM606.70 (2 pax)
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Price: 1/5
Will I Revisit?: No

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. 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 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...

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...

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...

K80 Go-Karting Session, City Karting @Shah Alam

Driving a go cart like a F1 driver before? I always dream about this and doing it together with my  sister  who is lack of adventurous gene in her. So lately Dealmates  is offering a great deal to experience such feel in a F1 circuit alike! The link for the offer as below: RM25 instead of RM35 for a 10-minute single K80 Go-Karting Session   So basically in this voucher you are paying for RM25 instead of  RM35 for a 100cc go kart. 100cc is very fast. Please do not compare with Genting 's go-kart which a bicycle can be faster than that. However, the major turn off is only valid on weekdays. Actually does not really affect me that much since I am owning my business. Haha... We went there twice. The first time she wear a skirt so not really good for her to drive. By the way, there is a two-seater go kart available too! So we make our second attempt this time and all the staffs still remember her as "the girl with her skirt" even almost 3 weeks! She ...
