翠园, Foshan

-
Still in Foshan and this time we had a pretty bad dinner here at 翠园. Initially we planned to dine at 文海饭店 again but the place was fully booked at night. Anyway, it is a good sign since I don't wish to see the snakes, tortoise and the wild hare again.

Lotus Root with Peanut - OMG! This is the 2nd time I am having this dish. I am bored!!! Some more it is so salty!
I do not know what name is this vegetables. This is the only vegetable I known of which carries bitter taste. Of course, excluding the bitter gourd.
Pork Ball Soup - Pretty special soup but saltiness is like a norm in Chinese dishes.
This bun is so soft and delicious. China really good at their buns! Love it!
My beloved yong tau fu but they are do salty which I feel like wanna rinse them with hot water.
Oily, salty, fatty...what else to say here. My gosh! So unhealthy!
Arghh...fish! Steamed Fish in Soy Sauce! My favorite. This is the first dish to finish cleanly
Scallops...not bad since not much dishes left to choose from to eat.
Take a group photos everybody! So serious! After the meal, my uncle was hospitalized because the food he ate earlier this afternoon and night has caused his stomach failure to digest. He bed ridden for 3 days after that. Jeez...so it is an advise and lesson to learn. It is nice to travel to other country to try their local delicacies but please do eat with precaution. Remember, you are enjoying the food instead of eating the food.

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...

Cycling tour around Lugu Lake, Nangling, Lijiang

-
Image
There are a few ways to explore this magical Lugu lake.In my previous post , I have shown you how to explore the inside of Lugu Lake. Now here is how to explore around the Lugu Lake. Self drive a rented electrical car at CNY300-500. The price difference is depending on the seats which is from 2 person to 4 person car. Pro: The flexibility of going around the places you wish to go. Not restraint by a time limit for staying at one spot. Can even travel in the dark Can travel far Less dangerous compare to a bicycle on the road Less tiring Not expose to the sun, rain and dust Cons:  You need to find charging station if you are going to circle the whole lake. The power of the battery may not last that long Parking is a pain especially at the crowded spots such as the Lige Village and Walking Marriage Bridge/Caohai Lake Expensive You need to be a map savvy Hire a chauffeur. At first the chauffeur will offer you a very low price to attract you which is starts fro...

Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong, Bandar Baru Sentul

-
Image
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...

Cia Xiang Seafood Restaurant, Bukit Tambun

-
Image
In my experience so far, the best seafood restaurant at Bukit Tambun is Restoran How Kee Seafood Village . Surprisingly, it is not listed in "Taste with Jason" tv programme. He preferred Cia Xiang Seafood Restaurant somehow. So here I am to find out! Unlike  Restoran How Kee Seafood Village , Cia Xiang Seafood Restaurant is very close to Bukit Tambun Tol Exit. While waiting for the first traffic light to turn green, you will immediately see their restaurant signboard on your north east direction. Crab Claypot Rice @RM54.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 1/5 Overall: 3/5 - The rice in the claypot is extremely delicious with thick crab fragrance in it. However, this has caused the crab meat itself has little left taste in it because being absorbed most of it in the rice. The crab meat is fresh but very near tasteless. It is a waste. In addition, the price is just too expensive for just one crab in the pot. Fried Prawns in Coconut Gravy @RM20.00 ...

Little Nyonya Cuisine @Gurney Plaza

Once again being a free tour guide for a group of people from Yunnan, China to Penang for some nice local delicacies. However, they were complaining about our food is not spicy enough. So since they would like spicy food, the only place I can think of in Penang is The Little Nyonya Cuisine which located at the lower ground of Gurney Plaza.  Tomyam Seafood @RM18.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Spiciness Level: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The seafood contains fish, squid and prawns only which is not bad at all. I would consider their seafood is fresh.The best part is the tomyam soup which is very spicy enough to numb your whole tongue and jaw. Nyonya Asam Pedas Ikan Pari @RM18.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Spiciness Level: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The stingray is soft and delicious but the only problem was the moment the gravy touched my tongue, I already can taste the crazy spiciness in it which is far greater than the ...

Veggie Planet, Taman Melaka Raya

-
Image
As I mentioned before in my Simple Life Tracy's Kitchen post , vegetarian cuisine has becoming a trend these days and a lot of restaurant coming out with a lot of ideas to make sure you know the food they served are authentic. At Veggie Planet, they are displaying everywhere in their restaurant to tell you that they guarantee you that the food they served does not contain any artificial coloring & preservative and does not contain any poison starch product. Are you convinced? I am. I can see how the owner spent in this restaurant by showing how "organic" they are. Selling other products and free health magazine for you to read. Too bad it is in Chinese. Having two shop lots combined which has made this restaurant big and with a lot of ample spaces. I like the privacy feel. Welcoming us with a nice tiny cup of refreshing Darjeeling tea. Nice! Organic Soya Milk @RM4.90 - delicious and I can taste a lot of protein in it! Brown Rice Chocolate @...

Chong Siew Lam Restaurant, Serdang

-
Image
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...

Restoran Minmax, PNB Darby Park

Dim sum is always everyone's favourite even to our Muslim friends but finding a Halal and delicious dimsum is not that easy at all. After I have dined in Restoran Minmax, I know this is the best ever Halal dimsum that's available in Malaysia currently. It advised to come before 12.00pm during office hours or else you will have a hard time finding a seat. Even you able to find a seat, you will need to wait for a long time for the food to arrive. Prawn Dumplings @RM6.90++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 - The prawn that is hidden inside the dumpling skin is so big and tangy. It is so fresh which you wish there is more than a prawn inside it. Absolutely delicious! Scallop Dumpling @RM12.90++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - You are not getting a tiny pieces and you are not getting just half but one whole 20 cents sized scallop inside the dumpling. The scallop is so fresh and succulent too w...
