Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant @1Utama

-
Everybody knows about Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant and everybody knows the queue is a horror especially at KLCC branch. However, how many people really knows about this restaurant itself? Let me give you a simple history on this restaurant.


Opened in 1975 and initally was owned by Larry Lavine before it sold to Norman Brinker in 1983 under Brinker International Inc whom specialized in food & beverage industry originated in Dallas, Texas, United States. Brinker has opened 11 other more restaurants along those years which ended either closed down or sold to another organization. Finally left with Maggiano's Little Italy (Italian Chain Restaurant) and Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant. This casual dining restaurant has over 1500 restaurants in 31 countries.


The first branch in Malaysia is at Bangsar Shopping Centre in June 1994 and after then it has captures all Malaysian's heart. Well done but I believe the road to come this far is not that easy at all. Alright, done with my short stories about them and let's move on to the main topic for today.

My special one who always be there for me =)

Citrus Fire Chicken and Prawns
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - Oh...I just love the prawn than the chicken! So tangy and the BBQ flavor roam effortlessly inside your mouth.

Molten Chocolate Cake
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - Warning: This dessert is meant for 2-3 pax portion. Seriously after the main course, you hardly going to finish this dessert even by two person. However, looking at this dessert is just spectacular. The vanilla ice cream melting inside and carry tiny bit of the chocolate with it. It is like a volcano lava in white and brown. As for the taste, mixture of hot and cold is just perfect!! Love this dessert a lot! Every time I visit this restaurant, I will surely find the opportunity to reorder this great dessert.

Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Food Serving Speed: Slow
Will I Revisit?: Yes

Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room @The Gardens Mall

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. Mushroom Soup @RM10.90++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 2/5 - I have made my own mushroom soup before so I understand how it is made. It is made from chicken s...

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. 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.

Image
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...

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...

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

Image
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...

If you able to read this post means, the end of the world is not arrived yet. Haha... I heard there is a rumor saying that there is a technical error and will postpone to 3012. Lol...joke. Anyway, here I am to share about food at Kuala Terengganu. Food at Kuala Terengganu is very limited to pure Malay food only. If you like Malay food, so you wouldn't mind travel to Kuala Terengganu. Since you don't mind, let me introduce to you this place is called Mama Tomyam Tok Molor.  Ikan Siakap Tiga Rasa Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Deep fried Seabass after that poured with three tastes which are sweet, sour and spicy. Very delicious and worth to try. Telur Bistik Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 2/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - This is a normal piece of egg which I don't think it is worth to order.  Ayam Masak Merah Outlook: 2/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Overall: 2/5 - I don't understand why they want to overflow their gravy. It makes...

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 ...

Kuriya Japanese Restaurant @Bangsar Shopping Centre

Suyin has recommended to me numerous of times and want me to come over to Kuriya Japanese Restaurant to try their food and she wants me to blog this great place too. Is it really that good?  Very exquisite design and pretty high class standard of Japanese restaurant.  Other part of the design. I am sorry that my sister's mom threw away the receipts so my price and the name of the food maybe not accurate. Actually my sister asked me to "be flexible" because she only thought that I am using the receipt for this blog and she has no idea I need it to make claim. Sometimes she is quite cruel with her words. We started our date for that day quite hilariously. Just want to write it down here so that I remember what has happened on that day. We set up a 2.00pm date but at that moment both Suyin's phone are running out of battery. I was late on that day because I thought she said it was at Bangsar Village. So I was late for 15 mins and I thought she has left sinc...

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...

Embarking yourself in the 19th century of the French Empire where it was at their height where Napoleon Bonarparte and his dominant power in much of continental Europe. Dine in the ambiance where the French royal used to have their meal and tea, Cafe Ame Soeur is what this restaurant is named. Ame Soeur means "Soulmate" in French. The name itself has clearly describe about this cafe is the best meet up place with your soulmate. This restaurant is located at the congested row of shops at Jalil Link Block 2 where hunting for a parking is really a big issue here. In front of the restaurant, you will see two different kinds of design on the left and right. The left is more to traditional Chinese style seating in the living room. While of the right is the western style where they usually have a fireplace in their living room. The restaurant itself is not very big. There are only less than 10 tables to accommodate. The overall design was exquisite to the very fine detail....
