The Sunset and the Sunrise, Koh Lipe

-
What is the most enjoyable thing to do in this island is to capture their sunrise and sunset. There are 3 beaches in Koh Lipe which are called Sunrise Beach , Sunset Beach and Pattaya Beach. You should know where to get the sunrise and sunset by now.
Sunrise is the hardest view to capture for me because I need to wake up early...Yawnnn...by the way, this is not me of course. LOL
Waking up early because not sure what time I might see the sun. So I woke up at 5.00am. LOL. Actually 6.30am is the right time.
So taking some pictures around while waiting for 90 minutes because I am reluctant to hit back to bed because I might oversleep.
Oh, no that's what I hate the next about watching sunrise is the cloud. Today, it will be too much cloud which will cover most of the sun.
As expected, the sun peeking itself towards the thick cloud.
Well, unexpectedly...you will still be getting a great view out of it! Not a bad sunrise at all. 
That's the whole sun to see in this morning.
I would like to jump in for a morning swim too. At least the sun is not too hot to make you dark. Well, perhaps another time.
If you are patient enough, you might able to capture jumping fishes in such scenery. Totally beautiful. However, I exhausted more than 2 hours by the beach so I don't think I am able to stay alert for those jumping fishes.
After sunrise, another 12 hours will be the sunset. Nice to see our national flower, Hibiscus here.
I stayed at Sunrise Beach so I need to take a 20 minutes slow walk to the Sunset Beach.
Going through the local villages and spotted a tsunami evacuation point in this island. Koh Lipe is a very small island. If there is really a tsunami here, I wonder if the evacuation point really can help.
The Sunset Beach is just at the end of this road. I reached there at 6.30pm and it was just nice for a sunset view.
Here we are...the Sunset Beach.
Wow! Just nice! We are there at the perfect timing. Not clouds to disturb the view. Superb.
Just a few shots around this beach.
That's a large yacht sitting by the beach. Due to low season, most of the restaurants and chalets are closed. Especially in this side of the beach. So it is pretty quiet here.
Porn resort??? Seriously? What to expect here?
I still love the sunset rather than sunrise because, the sun is more beautiful to me during the sunset.
Yeah! Let's do the leap of joy here!
Sunset happens very fast. With less than 15 minutes, the sun is almost completely gone.
As for me, it is time for me to sleep since I woke up so darn early today..urghhh. And once again, I am not the dog. LOL.
Location: Ko Li Pe, Tarutao National Park, Thailand

Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room @The Gardens Mall

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

Image
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.

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.

This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre...

Hawker Center @Jalan MacAlister, Penang

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.

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...

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...

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
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...

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...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
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...

Jing Wood Cafe, Miri

Alright, let's move on about Miri. This astonishing scenery is from Meritz Hotel. This is a newly built hotel which is still under construction yet for certain part which you will hear they working as early as 8.00am and as late as 8.00pm. Pretty annoying despite this great scenery. Anyway, let's move on to the first food I dine at Miri which is at Jing Wood Cafe. It is a hawker center with no much choices to choose from. Well, basically in Miri there are pretty few choices to choose from especially for their dinner. So I have to carry on with this. Chee Cheong Fun (Prawn) @RM4.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The prawns are so few and the overall taste is very commonly done like anywhere else. Nothing special. BBQ Pork (100g) @RM8.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is not bad. The pork is well BBQ and it is very delicious. A good discovery but the price is a little steep. 100g is t...

Kedai Kopi Fook Yuen, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
This is another post that I would like to specially promoting this great food which is known as Roti Kahwin. There are a lot of Roti Kahwin in Kota Kinabalu but the best is still Kedai Kopi Fook Yuen. Getting a seat here is very difficult because they are just people waiting and standing beside a table to wait for the patrons to finish their food. This is the Roti Kahwin which cost at RM2.00. It may sound quite expensive but after GST is imposed every restaurants has increased their price. So we have to get used to it. Back to the topic, the reason why this common looking bread is so good is the butter which melts out into your mouth the moment you sink your teeth in it. The kaya fragrance should not be neglected too. Another key part is you have to eat this bread while it is still hot. That's when the most delicious moment you are going to have when devouring the bread. Do not plan to share because I can finish up 5 plates like this alone. I am not kidding. They are not ...
