Signal Observation Hill, Kota Kinabalu

-
The highest point to observe the whole Kota Kinabalu City is not Mount Kinabalu of course. You cannot see the city from there. Too high! The place I would like to mention is Signal Observation Hill. It is located just 5 minutes away from Jesselton Point. 
The whole view of the city and nothing to be impressed about from the scenery
It is not a very tall hill. So the view you will be seeing is just almost the same level with the buildings around it.
In the near future, we can expect a nice cup of coffee beside the city view. That's a good enjoyment.
That's the whole view of the observation deck.
Not a place you MUST come but definitely you can spend your extra time here if you have. Otherwise, just stay in your hotel room because you can't see sunset here as all the buildings has already cover the view.
Location: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia

Zoo Melaka, Ayer Keroh

Image
No, I am not in a farm. I am in the zoo and it is Zoo Melaka. The last time I was brought by my parents. Today, I am a parent myself bringing my family to this place again. I do not remember the old ticket price. I wonder if there is any increment but I believe it should be increased a little after so long. Right now the price is RM17.80 (adult) and RM7.10 (child). It is not really expensive if you are comparing with the nearest safari park at A Famosa Water Park which is cost over RM40/pax.  If you did not bring a stroller for your kids with you, do not worry. They have a stroller to rent which is just RM10 for the whole day. The condition of the stroller looks old and ugly but for my kid, he just love to be in it. So it is worthwhile. If your family doesn't really likes to walk under the merciless sun, you can opt for a buggy ride which is at RM100 for the first 45 minutes and RM75 for the subsequent hour. They will have a tour guide to assign for you. I would recom...

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...

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 @...

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...

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...

Big Tree Lin Kee Steam Fish Head, Taman Connaught

-

After with her colleagues and always a must and a routine to dine together with her mom as well. I pretty much bored to hear them keep saying having their dinner at Peel Road, Pudu, Maluri and blah blah blah. So this time I have to bring them to the place I stayed before for almost 3 years which is Taman Connaught. I miss this place so much. A lot of memories here. Anyway, the restaurant is called Big Tree Lin Kee Steam Fish Head. They has another branch opposite this taman which is known as Taman Tayton. This is the branch. Seeing her in an average of 2 months once with lots of difference in her looks and her life. Feel like started for not able to catch up with her already. Anyway, I still hope she is doing the best that she can in whatever she wanted to do. All the best! Kangkung Belacan @RM8.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is one of the best dish for that night. Must order and you will not mind to eat this together with a bow...

Dessert...dessert...dessert...who does not like them? No matter how full you are you will still have the space for them. They are just magical! Groupon  brought us to another dessert house which is called My Honeymoon Dessert. The link of the deals as below: 50% off for a RM40 voucher We choose as many desserts we want within RM40 value. Argghhhh...nice! =) Dessert! Dessert! Make them fast! Their seat is so special but not comfy. My butt cannot sit well in it. Hahaha... Hehe...with my special lady as my companion to taste our upcoming desserts! Special Baked Rice Cake @RM6.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - It taste tapioca to me instead of rice. Urgh...disappointing first dessert. Snow Fungus with Papaya @RM7.00++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The almond taste is so strong. The papaya sweetness does not blend in. The snow fungus is fake to me. I had a much more real one ...

Kin No Mizu @The Intermark

Image
Did you realized that whenever we talk about a Japanese restaurant in The Intermark, we only know Hanare Japanese Restaurant because they are popular in serving buffet during the weekends. However, I have to introduce a Japanese restaurant that is way better than Harare Japanese Restaurant  which is Kin No Mizu Japanese Dining.  This exquisite restaurant is rarely visible to us because it is located at the second floor inside The Intermark. You will notice this restaurant if you are staying in Double Tree by Hilton.  They do not serve buffet but deliver the best ala-carte fine dining experience. We were place on a table where we are sitting on top of a pond. Only the tempered glass that is holding us from getting ourselves soak into pond. There is only one seating with such a design and we are lucky that we are sitting on it. Sorry, no photo available but you can see the first picture of this post. The table is just behind the signboard. Sashimi Moriawase @...

Chong Siew Lam Restaurant, Serdang

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...
