The making of Ham Jim Peng
The making of You Tiau
This picture able to capture how precise he cut the you tiau. Pretty hit! A lot of people are lining up for it.
Ham Jim Peng fried into a golden color. Yummy!
Too much heaty food and it is time to eat the soft and tender tau fu fah.
Close shot on it. I still prefer a tau fu fah is mized with hot soya bean milk. That will be perfect and less sweet.
Location: Bandar Pasaraya, 90000 Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia

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...

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...

Perfume Pagoda Boat Tour, Huong Son

-
Image
The Huong Pagoda is a vast complex of Buddhist temples and shrines built into the limestone Huong Tich mountains. It is the site of a religious festival which draws large numbers of pilgrims from across Vietnam. The center of the Huong Temple lies in Huong Son Commune, Mỹ Đức District, former Hà Tây Province (now Hanoi). The center of this complex is the Perfume Temple, also known as Chua Trong (Inner Temple), located in Huong Tich Cave. The boat tour including the entrance fee is 100,000vnd. There is an optional cost for the cable car which will take you to Huong Tich Cave. The price is 100,000vnd per person per way or 160,000vnd per person round trip. If you are not rushing and you have the stamina to hike up and down, you can save this cost. To get to Huong Son from Hanoi, you can take a bus or sign up with any tour group if you would like to have a rather relax and non-rush schedule, I would suggest you travel by yourself in a bus. There are many other buses back to H...

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...

Jin Jin Foods Hawker Centre @Taman Tun Fuad Stephens

During my days in Kota Kinabalu, I do not even see a drop of rain. It is a good thing when I keep travelling around on the road to visit one place and another. The only thing is the weather is crazily hot! I have no choice but look for ABC, cendol or anything to sort out our hotness throughout our bodies. So finally we passed by Taman Tun Fuad Stephen and I planned to have their ABC special inside a stall called Jin Jin Foods Hawker Centre. Look at all the ABC fruit special we ordered. Quite messy to me   ABC Fruit Special @RM6.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - It is a life saver when have this during the super hot weather. Regarding the quality and the taste, the ice is still quite thick but the most the most letdown is still the watermelon seed. It is annoying when you drink this dessert and it has so many watermelon seeds which hardly to eat and swallow. Just come here for the chill only when you pas by this place. O...

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...
