湘村馆, Qingyuan

-
Interestingly dining at China...that's what I want to bring to you about in this post. The location is at Qingyuan which is a northern part of Guangzhou. The restaurant name is called 湘村馆. The interesting part is the food they served and how to eat.

This looks like a normal Pork Bone Soup but the way to eat is not.
You will be given a pair of of gloves and a straw. That's what you will do to suck the bone marrow. Delicious!
A lamb stick? This lamb stick is done very thoughtfully by cover the end with a wrapper for you to hold and eat without staining your fingers. Very delicious with a spicy kick in it. Truly a different experience to eat a lamb.
When you are in China, you really have to order a plate of vegetable. Any vegetable will do because their vegetable is very fresh , sweet and juicy. They serve in big portion in cheaper price. You will definitely not able to find the same taste in Malaysia.
Location: Qingyuan, Guangdong, China

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

In Singapore, you will see high class restaurants open their restaurant with Marina Bay Sands view. In KL, it will be the Petronas Twin Tower instead. However, to allow you to dine with the tower so up close and personal to you, it got to be Marini's on 57. Outstanding view which will just leave a memory of a lifetime to you.  You are very encouraged to make advanced reservation before visiting unless you are coming here for a common daily dining. This restaurant is located at Tower 3 and the entrance is near where the Chanel shop is. You will see a man with black suit at the entrance to escort you to their lift. Their lift is only going to take you to 57th floor which is where this restaurant is located. If you plan to dine by the window, they do set a minimum spending of RM300++/pax.

Noor Arfa Craft Complex, Kuala Terengganu

Image
Noor Arfa Craft Complex (NACC) was once known as just Noor Arfa in 1980 with just RM1000 as initial capital. From a sole proprietor to partnership in 1982 and private limited company in 1991 called Noor Arfa Batek Sdn Bhd. In 2010, they change their domain again to Noor Arfa Holdings Sdn Bhd. I just cut short their wonderful long history but in the nutshell, this is one of the incredible home grown company that Malaysia should be proud of. Standing strong throughout these years delivering our best local product which is the batik. They even have school to teach enthusiast to master the skill in batik making and continue this traditional batik making process. This is one of the process in making drawing batik. First, you have to stretch the cloth real tight before you can start drawing with the hot wax on the cloth. This needs a lot of patience and precision. A slight mistake will ruin the whole thing. After that, this is the fun part which is coloring the batik. Once the ...

Cruise Tour on Erhai Lake, Dali

-
Image
Erhai Lake is the largest highland lake next to Dianchi and one of the seven biggest fresh water lakes in China. It means, 'sea shaped like an ear', in Chinese. Implying that the lake is ear shaped and as large as a sea, hence it was so named. The Erhai Lake covers an area of 250 square kilometers (96 square miles) and is located about two kilometers (1.2 miles) east of Dali. It is like a crescent lying between Cangshan and Dali city as seen from Cangshan Mountain. In a sunny day, the crystal waters of Erhai Lake and the snow mantled Cangshan Mount radiate with each other. Thus the scene was commonly described as 'Silver Cangshan and Jade Erhai'. There are a lot of ways to tour around the Erhai Lake but I suggested you the best two ways. Cycling/Sightseeing Car/Electric Bike/Electric Car - No matter which type of transportation you are using, you need 2 days to complete the tour around the lake. The total distance is 128km. My suggestion is you leave your big...

Tamarind Springs @ Jalan TAR, Ampang

-
Image
Tamarind Springs is a sister company with Tamarind Hills but at different location and different concept. Tamarind Springs is located inside a jungle like area. So there are no air-conditioner provided and you are surrounded by greens. Very nice atmosphere to have your meals. An exotic dining experience! Tamarind Springs serves Indochinese Cuisine so you will be expecting Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand cuisine in their menu. To get to here is a little bit tricky. Even Google Maps and Waze failed to guide you to the right place. Basically you will only see this restaurant after you passed by the Royal Club Selangor Golf Course. For exact location, please click on the link on the word "Location" at the end of this post. There is a guarded parking lot provided which is free of charge. So do not worry about your expensive vehicle leaving in the wild and dark in the middle of the night. You have to be amazed with the landscape and design of this restaurant. Pretty...

Muong Hoa Valley is one of the most famous destinations for breathtaking scenery and is the largest farmland for rice growing in Sapa. It is far from town about 14 kilometers. Going to visit Muong Hoa, you can trek along Muong Hoa River sneaking through the valley nearby Sapa town. This valley lies between two high ranges of mountains running in the parallel south-east of Sapa town. On the way, you can learn more about how is the rice cultivating. My advice is to put your big luggage at the hotel you are staying when you arrived at Sapa Town. Carry light and essential stuff in your backpack and start the journey which may takes up to 5 hours and even longer if you are walking casually and making lots of pit stops. After that, you will spend a night at one of the local houses. There is no need to book in advance. You will definitely find a family whom will happily accommodate you.. From the highest elevation of the mountain range covered by endless forest, rain water follows ...

Have I ever blogged a vegetarian restaurant before? Yes, I did...from my hometown which is called  Restoran Gao Zhong . And this Yuet Sum Him Vegetarian Restaurant which located behind Shaw Parade Plaza will be second. I never like vegetarian restaurant not because they cannot fulfill my meat appetite but most of the vegetarian restaurants are just nothing but oil and flour. However, my sister and her mom convinced me to come to this restaurant to change my perception over vegetarian restaurant. Once again, I have to apologize which is my sister's mom has threw away the receipt so the name and the price shown may not be accurate.

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli...
