Kyung Joo Korean Restaurant, MidValley

-
After a series of disappointments, I decided to give a rest for my further coupon reviews and decided to go somewhere that I have been visited quite frequently. This time is a Korean Cuisine!

The restaurant is Kyung Joo Korean Restaurant located at the 3rd Floor, South Court of the MidValley City. It is the only decent Korean Restaurant in MidValley and of course you can find more over at The Gardens. No wi-fi is provided but the environment is quite clean. This restaurant has been here for years with the same renovation. I wonder why MidValley did not ask them to renew their design.

Among all the Ginseng Tea  that I have tried so far, this is the best ginseng tea with real ginseng taste. However, the ginseng taste only able to retain in the first pot. Once you refill with hot water, you will no longer taste the ginseng. All you can drink at that moment is plain water. It is a very refreshing drink after you had your long movie show and exhausting window shopping which cost only at RM7++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - Must try! Refillable and it can served up to 4 pax per pot for only RM7++ with no additional headcount charges.

 
Well, every single time you visit a Japanese Restaurant, you have to order their sushi. Same like Korean Restaurant, you cannot avoid not to order their Korean BBQ. That is the name they live up for it! So must try! Some people says, if a Korean Restaurant which can't even serve their Korean BBQ well, do not even bother to try their other food listed in the menu. Sound pretty logic eh? This is the meat combination of Lamb, Beef, Pork and Chicken @RM48++

So a waiter/waitress will light up the barbecue stove in front of you. They even paused when I was about to take some picture of it. Nice and thank you! So fire is ready, and get the meat ready to burn! Fast and I can't wait! Slurppp!

Firstly, the waiter/waitress will use the onion to wipe the surface before arranging the meat on it so that will have the slight onion taste on your meat later on. They will cook in front of us and make sure the meat is ready to be served. As for a first timer, you can always consult them on how to enjoy the Korean BBQ in korean style. Of course, I will share the steps to you. Beside the meat, they will served you a plate of lettuces (refillable) and two types of sauces. One gives you a salty taste while another one will brings you the spicy taste. (Sorry, no photos..will capture again in my next visit) So here are the steps:
1) Grab a lettuce
2) Put your desire meat on the lettuce
3) What taste you prefer? Salty taste? Spicy? or stay original? Once you decided, just dip a little bit of your preferred sauce using your korean chopstick. (I still do not understand why they need to make their chopstick flat)
4) Once done, wrap them up like you wrap a present without a ribbon and put this tasty gift into your mouth. Yummm!!!
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - Must try! So far, this is the only Korean Restaurant I known of will cook for you. So this is the only place I always find my 10% service tax is well paid of.

To me, I always prefer to have a light dinner because for health wise. So lettuce with meat is just enough for me. However, my auntie feels that a proper meal should have either rice or noodle. So this is the Beef Glass Noodle which she ordered @RM22++.
Outlook: 2/5
Creativity: 2/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 2/5 - Well, this is rated by my auntie as I cannot eat beef.

Yes, we have Ginseng tea refillable, lettuce refillable and one more which is their side dishes are refillable. They will served a total of 7 daily exotic side dishes. The oyster is one of them. The reason I only take the picture of the oyster is because this is the first time I got oyster as one of the side dishes and it was so delicious! Better than any chinese stalls who sells fried oyster for RM10! I think I refilled this plate for 3-4 times. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention! The best part for these side dishes is they are all FREE! Who does not like free stuff especially free food eh? Teehee...

Total Damage: RM98.00 (3 pax)
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Food Serving Speed: Fast
Will I revisit?: Absolutely for another korean food experience

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! They have existing queen size or king size bed and extra bed can be requested. To get close and personal with the King of Fruit...the accommodation charges will be Deluxe Villa is charged at RM280/night and standard villa will cost you RM180/night. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre

Hawker Center @Jalan MacAlister, Penang

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.

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 to your prefer

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

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

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

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

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.

Tamarind Springs @ Jalan TAR, Ampang

-
Image
Tamarind Springs is a sister company with Tamarind Hills but at different location and different concept. Tamarind Springs is located inside a jungle like area. So there are no air-conditioner provided and you are surrounded by greens. Very nice atmosphere to have your meals. An exotic dining experience! Tamarind Springs serves Indochinese Cuisine so you will be expecting Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand cuisine in their menu. To get to here is a little bit tricky. Even Google Maps and Waze failed to guide you to the right place. Basically you will only see this restaurant after you passed by the Royal Club Selangor Golf Course. For exact location, please click on the link on the word "Location" at the end of this post. There is a guarded parking lot provided which is free of charge. So do not worry about your expensive vehicle leaving in the wild and dark in the middle of the night. You have to be amazed with the landscape and design of this restaurant. Pretty
