Hanare Japanese Restaurant @The Intermark

-
My final post for this month and I will have a good rest for the blog and concentrate in my current business affairs for a while. Sorry readers. I hope you will still visit occasionally. Thank you.

Without further ado, once again it is a Japanese restaurant called Hanare which is located at The Intermark. The Intermark is the shopping mall for Double Tree Hotel by Hilton Hotel. I hate the experience of parking here because I need to make a spiral turn for I don't know how many times until the 4th floor before I can find a spot to park my long and large car. Pretty dizzy and dangerous. 

I have known this restaurant quite long ago which I think since last year. It is always in my list of restaurants that I wished to visit. The reason I am always not able to come here is because they do not serve buffet style and also they do not have my favorite Fresh Oyster. However, I made the point finally.
A lot of chefs here working and cooking their own specialty food.
Very elegant dining set on the table.
Their soy sauce. It is so fragrance enough to make us hungry! Simply amazing and I am not exaggerating!
Sashimi Moriawase @RM80.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 3/5 - As always, I prefer only fish for my Sashimi Moriawase. All very delicious but not as thick as I used to blog in other Japanese Restaurant such as Kampachi and Fukuya. The freshness and quality of the meat is just excellent! The best of all, this is the cheapest Sashimi Moriawase I ever had.

Grilled Salmon & Ikura Temaki @RM18.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I just love the Ikura popping repeatedly inside my mouth! The salmon is well grilled to accompany with my crispy seaweed wrapper.

Natto Temaki @RM8.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I do not why their Temaki is not in the standard size. This one is very obviously smaller than Grilled Salmon & Ikura Temaki. Nothing special about the taste. I am ordering this because they no longer have a soft-shell crab temaki.

Unagi Kabayaki @RM45.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - The unagi is simply delicious. The sauce for it is well blended because some of the restaurants' unagi sauce are salty. However, the price is quite scary.

Nice and unique BIG spoon is prepared for our next meal which is our main course!
Curry Udon @RM30.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 2/5 - Suddenly feel like having a Japanese curry. When I had the first bite, I really enjoyed it until I finished. After that, I felt so thirsty and drink a lot of green tea. The reason is not because it is spicy but it is just too much MSG in it!!! Gosh!!! RM30.00++ for a mee some more...not worth.

Inaniwa Tsuke Udon (cold) @RM30.00++
It comes together with a chicken soup.
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Unlike other cold noodles like soba which you will be given a sauce. But this one you are given a chicken soup to dip your noodle. The Inaniwa noodle is very delicious indeed. Smooth and tangy noodles. Splendid! However, as for the chicken soup...haihhhh....they just love to have MSG in their soup...miso style

A high class restaurants with lots of good foods in it and at the same time the bad ones too. Sometimes it is pretty disappointing when you have to force yourself to eat something which is not delicious. But nothing is more disappointing when your favorite food turns out to be that bad. Improvement requires especially on the soup. Others are just fine.
Total Damage: RM244.75
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Food Serving Speed: Slow
Will I Revisit?: No but recommended

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

Merlion Park, Singapore

Driving in Singapore is really a pain especially the traffic congestion, parking hunting and speed cameras alert which is seems like everywhere. As for parking, weekdays parking is like vampire sucking all your money out from your wallet when the clock keeps ticking. Not just parking but their ERP toll is sucking the money out of your Autopass card too. However, I have realized that the best days to travel to Singapore is on weekends and especially on Sunday. ERP toll is free on Sundays. Parking rate are cheaper on Sundays and there are places are free parking too. Not much cars and peoples on the street on Sundays. Sunday is just perfect day at Singapore! Of course, if you plan to eat their buffets, Sunday will be not a suitable day as it will be super expensive. Anyway, today I just want to share one of the tourist attraction in Singapore which is the Merlion Park. I parked at Fullerton Hotel which has ample of parking spaces and it is only S$5.00/entry. The Fullerton Hotel is j

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-

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

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

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

Sin Kee Bak Kut Teh, Kota Kinabalu

There are two best bak kut teh in Kota Kinabalu that I have known so far. One is known as Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh  and the other one is known as Sin Kee Bak Kut Teh. There are just located one street away from each other. However, both of them got the same jam packed customers as you can see from the picture above. You just cannot detect any available seat around. This is how good they are. The one and only chef in action to prepare the whole bak kut teh to all the patrons. The surprising part is the serving speed was extremely fast. Usually when you see so many people, you might think you will need to wait for quite some time but he can make sure you will get your food at the fastest speed. These are the prices after GST is imposed.  They do have other dishes to serve too apart of their famous Bak Kut Teh. However, my advice is just stick with their Bak Kut Teh no matter how much the waiter/waitress to push you to order more. The moment you sit down, they will straight aw

Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy, Salak Selatan

The first time I had my first black pepper Bak Kut Teh was at Sandakan. I never know there is one at Kuala Lumpur. I got to know it from Axian from his TV Programme, "Taste with Jason". The name of the restaurant is Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy. Even they have a space of three shop lots, their seats are still fully occupied. In the past, they were doing mining business. This is their old mining machine which they still keep it very well. Vegetable Rice @RM2.00 - You should try their vegetable which is very tasty. It is just cost RM1.00 more than their normal white rice. Black Pepper Bak Kut Teh Claypot @RM44.00 + Bean Curd @RM3.00 + YouTiao (small)@RM4.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature dish which is catered for four. A very different from the common herbal type of Bak Kut Teh. You will taste a very rich black pepper fragrance in this soup. Very delicious. Yes, I have to admit it is a little spicy bu

Calypso Cabaret Ladyboy Show @Asiatique The Riverfront

Hatyai or Pattaya may have the famous reputation in a Ladyboy Show but Bangkok is not that bad as well. For those who does not know what a ladyboy means in simple English is transsexual from a man become a woman. Hopefully you are much clearer now. There is a demand for this in Thailand. So I am very determine to watch a show where all the performers on the stage were man. This is how the seating like and you can choose any seat you want when purchasing the ticket. My advice is to choose the middle seat and possibly more to the front. For now, seat back and relax and enjoy the rest of their show in my photos below. Can you imagine they were man? Even our local girls do not have such a figure. How do they look? Seriously, you will think they looks like male from your first glance. There are 16 different shows pack in one hour show.  From a sentimental show to... ...a funny one! This one does not look local to me but he can really spread... Acting as Tes

Everyone knows the famous Shihlin is a local night market a.k.a pasar malam at Taiwan. Approximately 4 years ago, Shihlin becomes a company and brought into Malaysia as the locals just love the foods from pasar malam. The main products are XXL Crispy Chicken, Oyster Mee Sua, Tempura, Sweet Plum Potato, Egg Crepe and Rice Box. The place for them to fry XXL Crispy Chicken, Tempura and Sweet Plum Potato. No individual table available. It is just a long table at the side which is same like Shihlin @Taiwan. My favourite is the Oyster Mee Sua @RM6.90 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 2/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The combination is just perfect! However only four oyster in a bowl. I hope at least got eight! Wow! The oyster! Yummm!!! No wi-fi provided in this restaurant and the seat is quite limited. Drinks are limited to bottled soy bean and mineral water only. The franchise fee was once selling at RM50,000 when it was first introduced in Malaysia. Now they ha
