Castaway Restaurant, Sunrise Beach

-
Due to low season, many restaurants and chalets are closed. So a very limited choice of restaurant to choose from. I am more fancy Castaway Restaurant because of their ambiance and they are serving delicious food! I had my breakfast and dinner here. As for now, I will just introduce their interesting Thailand breakfast. Oh ya, by the way...their food here are not cheap. Just to remind you so you won't criticize me for introducing such an expensive restaurant to you.
You can choose from an eastern breakfast to a western breakfast. As for me, I prefer a Thai breakfast since I am in Thailand! However, their Thai breakfast is in Thai language which I hardly know what does it means. We had a nice waitress to explain that it is rice. The difference is either I want a "big" rice or a "small" rice with a choice of chicken, beef or pork. So I had a "big" rice with chicken which is in the picture above and a "small" rice with pork which is in the picture below. Now I know what does she means by "big" or "small" rice. It is porridge!
If you want to add an egg in this porridge, there is an additional charges. The "big" rice is rather plain like our normal Chinese porridge while the "small" rice is more oily. I like the "small" rice more but both are equally delicious!

We all know about the famous Zouk Club  at Jalan Ampang. How about their cafe? Today,  Dealmates  brought me there with their offer. The link as below: RM15 for a main course (3 choices) + drink Main course selections: Seafood Cheese Baked Rice Assam Laksa Mee Siam Drinks selections: 7up float Pepsi float When you know the famous Zouk, you just have to be there for their food somehow. The interior design. Great place for drinking. The dining area. Pepsi float - I bet I do not need to give any ratings for this right? LOL Assam Laksa Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 2/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: N/A Overall: 2/5 - A really normal assam laksa which you can get at anywhere else. Nothing special. However, the portion is big. Cheese Baked Rice Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: N/A Overall: 3/5 - Look tasty but when you take the first bite...a BIG letdown. Too salty! They have these foods in their lunch set @RM15.70 (af...

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...

Sagano Scenic Railway/Sagano Torokko (Sagano Romantic Train), Arashiyama

-
Image
The Sagano Scenic Railway is a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of western Kyoto, which is mostly known for the Arashiyama area. Known also as the Sagano Torokko or Sagano Romantic Train, this retrofited old-fashioned stream train takes you beyond Arashiyama for a perfect escape from the busy cities and crowded spots of the rest of Japan. This railway now runs old fashioned trains on a 19th century narrow gauge railway through picturesque countryside between Saga-Arashiyama and Kameoka. The most popular route is from Saga Torokko Station to Kameoka Torokko Station. Saga Torokko Station is right next to JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, which is easily reached from Kyoto Station. From Kyoto Station take the JR Sagano Line. The journey takes 17 minutes and the fare is 240 yen. While the Sagano Scenic Railway is not covered by your Japan Rail Pass, the trip is worth the small extra cost. You may purchase tickets at the Saga-Arashiyama Station or at any Japan Rail ticket office in...

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...

Shika Snow Mountain, Shangri-la

-
Image
After an overrated trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I had my disappointment redeemed by visiting Shika Snow Mountain. The highest point that we can go as a tourist is only 4500m instead of 4680m at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. However, it is fine by us for many reasons so do read on. It is quite easy to get to the snow mountain from Shangri-la because it stands 4 miles (7 kilometers) to the southwest of the county. Take bus line 9 from Shangri-la Passenger Station, and get off at the terminus. The bus is available from 7.30am to 5.00pm at hourly intervals. The fare is CNY 3. Take a taxi to the scenic area at about CNY 30 for a single trip. Charter a car, and it costs about CNY 60 for a round trip. You should agree a time with the driver for him to pick you up for the return trip. I took the option 3 which is the convenient options ever as you don't have to waste time to take the bus. The bus is not bad actually for just CNY3 for the fare but the bus took an hour t...

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. Prawn Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - As I mentioned in my previous post at Raodifang, I just hate to eat a prawn mee with small prawns in it. Loh Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Nothing special for an expensive small portion. Carrot Cake in chinese style @RM6.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - We ordered two plates and one plate is very delicious and fragrant but another one is too s...

Luna Bar @Pacific Regency Hotel Suite

Image
Where to see such a view at KL while enjoying your red wine? Here we are at Luna Bar which is located at the level 34 of the Pacific Regency Hotel Suite. By occupying the roof top of the hotel, you are able to see this great view. Along with me is Suyin, the DJ wannabe that I talked about previously and now we are here enjoying our beautiful Sunday night drinking red wine and feel the breeze. Really is an amazing experience! They have a DJ playing R&B songs and sitting right in the tower which is located at the top right of this picture. By the way, no dance floor provided. If you really feel like dancing, maybe you can dance at your own table. You can choose to sit by the pool side or by the window. Trust me, if you wish to sit by the window, you better book earlier to avoid disappointment. This is the window view which you can enjoy the KL night live scene. Not really tall enough for you to watch the view like what I had at Singapore's 1-Altitude . Fam...

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...

Kingtu Restaurant, Taman Cheng Utama

You will only see Satay Celup in Melaka and not in any other states. Last year, I have introduced the most famous satay celup in Melaka which is known as Restoran Capitol Satay . This time I wanted to try some where different because in my mind there should be some where better or at least same level with Restoran Capitol Satay since there are really a lot of satay celup restaurant in Melaka. So I understand from the TV programme "Taste with Jason" where Ah Xian highly recommended this restaurant which is called Kingtu Restaurant. Kingtu Restaurant was once closed down but now they reopen again but it is far away from the city. Since it is highly recommended by Ah Xian so let's see what they got here. Over here are the fried stuffs They have 2 fridges like this with a lot of varieties. However, I somehow feel there is nothing special in the variety. RM0.70/stick which is cheaper than  Restoran Capitol Satay  about RM0.20/stick. Do take note...this restauran...

Castle, park, shrine and temple are my favourite spots. However when you are travelling together with your kids, you just have to insert something is their favourite such as Kyoto Railway Museum. My boy loves train, bus and airplane. This is his heaven! The Kyoto Railway Museum was opened in April 2016 by JR West on the former site of the Umekoji Train and Locomotive Museum, about a twenty minute walk west of Kyoto Station.
