Kayaking, Port Dickson

-
After a break earlier at Ice Room, it is time to continue for our water sports activity! Let's start with something light which is kayaking! Usually we always got confused with canoeing and kayaking. Actually, how can we really differentiate them? I hope my explanation below can make you more understand.

Kayak
  • often using a double blade paddle
  • used in travelling and racing
  • you are sitting with your both legs out
  • getting in and out more difficult
  • lower center of gravity
  • less tiring

Canoe
  • have more variety of paddles
  • used in the open water which is less dangerous
  • sitting in more kneeling like position
  • getting in and out easier
  • higher center of gravity
  • more tiring

So my girls, you understand now? Ready to row?
Okay, I treat that as a "yes" then. 
It is cost RM35 per person for an hour ride. However, I can guarantee you that you will not have such a strength to paddle that long. Especially under the hot sun! So please do not feel so worth it when you see that you can kayaking for an hour.

 Total Damage: RM70.00
Freakout Level: 2/5
Service: 2/5
Recommended?: No unless you would like to get tan and train your biceps.
Location: Jalan Pantai, Taman Haji Zainal, 71000 Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

I may have introduced to you one of the best Ramen in my blog which is called Marutama Ramen @Fahrenheit88 . Well, this time I will introduce to you another one of the best Ramen which is right opposite Fahrenheit88 which is Pavilion. The restaurant name is located at the Tokyo Street of Pavilion at it is called, Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. This restaurant is established in 1988 in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. Santouka founder - Hitoshi Hatanaka wanted to develop a classic Ramen for all to savor to the last, spoonful and topped with a fabulous char-siu pork. In essence, a masterfully assembled Ramen whose superior ingredients and magnificent, robust flavor would truly stand out and long-lasting. Here we are...one of the best Japanese Ramen. Actually their menu is very simple and most of them are already displayed here. This is on a weekday and it is already so crowded!!! So you can imagine what you will see on weekends. Their kitchen. I wish they able to let me in to capture...

Warakuya Japanese Garden, Mount Austin

-
Image
I used to whine that Japanese cuisine in Johor Bahru is horrifying and disappointing until I meet Warakuya Japanese Garden at Mount Austin. From the exterior itself, this restaurant looks so grand and luxury. The first thing comes to my mind is the price will be hefty. However, when I saw the queue in front of the restaurant, I already doubt their price is going to be really expensive. I know people just loves good food but at the minimum price. Who doesn't anyway? One of the best part of the restaurant is they are providing 42" LCD TV, free flow of drinks and seating area for the queue. You will never know time flies when you are having those things at the waiting area. Something that Sushi Zanmai needs to consider. Mango Sushi @RM11.90++ Outlook: 5/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - The moment I put the whole piece into my mouth, the sweetness of the mango already started to pamper my tongue. Once the biting started, the sweet taste is ge...

Big Tree Lin Kee Steam Fish Head, Taman Connaught

-
Image
After with her colleagues and always a must and a routine to dine together with her mom as well. I pretty much bored to hear them keep saying having their dinner at Peel Road, Pudu, Maluri and blah blah blah. So this time I have to bring them to the place I stayed before for almost 3 years which is Taman Connaught. I miss this place so much. A lot of memories here. Anyway, the restaurant is called Big Tree Lin Kee Steam Fish Head. They has another branch opposite this taman which is known as Taman Tayton. This is the branch. Seeing her in an average of 2 months once with lots of difference in her looks and her life. Feel like started for not able to catch up with her already. Anyway, I still hope she is doing the best that she can in whatever she wanted to do. All the best! Kangkung Belacan @RM8.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is one of the best dish for that night. Must order and you will not mind to eat this together with a bow...

Hang Mua Mountain aka Mua Cave, Ninh Binh

-
Image
At first, I always got confused with Hang Mua Mountain and Mua Cave. My initial plan is to climb the mountain and all the information I got in the internet is to direct me Mua Cave. After few readings, I finally understand that "Hang" means cave in Vietnamese. So Hang Mua Mountain and Mua Cave is the same place. If you are riding a bike to get here, there are many scam trying to stop you earlier for you to park your motorbike at their place with charges. Don't stop. Just go straight until the end and park inside. It is free parking as of today. I am not sure if they will change it later. The entrance fee is 100,000vnd per person. It is quite expensive for just hiking. There is a reason to this. They decorated the entire way from the entrance to the foot of the hill. There are many photoshooting spots where you can enjoy before you start your hiking. I would suggest you to take photos first because after the hike, you will probably too tired to do anything anymor...

Agro Technology Park, Jerudong

Spending in Brunei is really high especially they are sharing same exchange rate with Singapore. Therefore people will think that travelling in Brunei will be very costly. Honestly, apart of the trip in Kampung Ayer , there is not many places that you need to spend a lot of money on their tourist spots. Some are even for free! Agro Technology Park is one of the example of free entrance tourist spot. Walking through the park’s main entrance, you will be greeted with a huge welcome sign on pillars, embellished with colourful flowers. You can choose to take in the scenery by taking a buggy or a bus, which are provided by the park, but the best way is to walk. This park is really huge! It is officially opened on the last quarter of 2013 and I would really say everything is very well maintained even though it is free entrance. The Bruneian really taking good care of the surroundings and you will hardly see any litter around. What a good culture they have! Heading towards...

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...

My sister's mum is so excited when I ask her where to have a great hawker food experience. As you remembered, I am trying to go into hidden best hawker food in our most crowded city in Malaysia. Nevertheless, auntie really contributed a lot in my quest and I trusted 100% with her taste because she really know how to classify a food is good! This time the hawker stall take place along the road of Jalan San Peng. If you are coming from Jalan Pasar, it will be located at your left. The name of the restaurant is called Restoran Ah Chai. Pork Rib in Red Wine @RM13.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - When I first saw this dish, I was really surprised. A hawker stall like this making an extra effort to prepare a salad separately in an ice cream cup? The effort itself already score 100 marks. As for the taste, it is pretty sweet and nice. The pork rib is well cooked. Claypot Taufu @RM8.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 ...

Chong Siew Lam Restaurant, Serdang

Never know about this place until I watched Ah Xian from the TV Programme which is known as "Taste with Jason". This restaurant is known as Chong Siew Lam Restaurant. No signboard to show this place but this is the only the crowded place in the whole street. They only serve for lunch so do expect great crowd roaming to this place between 12.00pm to 2.00pm.  Steamed Tilapia Fish Head @RM20.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Tilapia is a freshwater fish and the best is to steam it. Without a doubt, they did it very well. The meat is so fresh but what is the best part is the gravy. Not sure how they made it but it brings a little wine taste in it with spicy kick. Absolutely uniquely delicious! Steam Salted Chicken @RM22.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - By steaming the chicken like that, the gravy has already penetrated the entire chicken meat. If you just eat the chicken itself, it i...

Hee Lai Ton Restaurant @Shaw Parade, Pudu

My experience with dim sum in KL is very shallow because for me places like Dragon-I, Canton-I, Crystal Jade Restaurant and Din Tai Fung are very disappointing in terms of the quality vs the price. So with my dearest sister's mum help, I able to get a tip on a great place for a dim sum! The place is called Hee Lai Ton Restaurant which is located at Shaw Parade, Pudu. I visited this restaurant once during the day my sister's 21st birthday. She is really a spoiled kid. I do not even have a 21st birthday celebration in a restaurant like this. Hopefully she will treasure her mum's effort. So this is the restaurant details! This restaurant is not somewhat very grand if you want to have an unforgettable wedding dinner here. However, their food is definitely one of the best. So up to you to decide whether you prefer a luxury wedding dinner location or delicious food.  My sister seems like forgetting she is already over 21. Still playing around with sauce an...
