Nobu Japanese Restaurant @KLCC

-
Just below Marini's on 57, there is a Japanese restaurant which is known as Nobu at Level 56. To get to here, you have to go to Pertronas Tower 3 which is located near Chanel outlet if you are coming from inside the Suria KLCC mall.
They are open as early as 6.00pm so that you have enough time to catch the sunset which is pretty awesome.
The night scenery is the one everyone is waiting for to see. It is quite fun to spot familiar buildings in the night like this.
It is really an awesome feeling to sit so up close and personal with  Petronas Twin Tower.
This is what you see when you look up through the window. During at night, you can see beautiful lights shining all over the tower.
When you look down, you can see the bird eye view of Suria KLCC and KLCC Park. At night, you will be able to see them playing the musical fountain with beautiful lights playing together.
They got a sushi bar available for those who prefer to see chef in action rather than kl city view.
Apart of sushi bar, they have a bar table too for those who prefer to have a drink only.
Nobu is not an ordinary Japanese restaurant because they have mixed with Peruvian style in it. It is really an exciting feeling for a Japanese cuisine fan like me to experience something different than a traditional one.
This is a truly romantic spot to dine with your special person. Definitely going to leave an unforgettable memory for both.
New Style Sashimi White Fish @RM65.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - The first bite you will feel the strong sourish kick into your mouth but the next piece your tongue seems like started to accommodate with the strong taste and started to receive other fragrance from the onion and the sesame too. It is really beyond to explain the evolution from a simple sashimi to a taste like this. All of the sudden, your appetite has been opened up by it.

Tiradito White Fish @RM50.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Tiradito is a Peruvian style of sashimi. The influence of Japanese immigrants has made the impact of the traditional Peruvian dish. It is also has the same sourish taste but the only different it got the spicy kick in it as well from the chili powder. The taste is amazing! Sourish at first and end with a spicy kick. Truly amazing experience!

Sashimi Moriawase @RM200.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I still need to order their traditional sashimi. 8 different types of sashimi served for us. All are so fresh, sweet and delicious except the mackerel. I find that all the restaurants I have dined in so far has the same issue with their mackerel which has the strong fishy taste in it. They did put little ginger and onion on top of it to get rid of the smell but it seems like the smell is too strong to be covered up just like that. Apart from the mackerel, I have to acknowledged that this is one of the best premium quality sashimi I have tasted so far.

Black Cod (220gm) @RM160.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I always feel that the cod fish served by the Japanese restaurants are always so small in size. This time I get to taste a black cod which is almost as big as a steak for me to indulge with. Too bad that they burned some part of it. They should have changed it for a restaurant like this instead of serving to the customer. However, the taste is still as good as expected especially you dip in a little bit of Yuzu sauce at the side to enhance the fragrance of the meat. Outstanding!

Suntory Whisky Cappuccino @RM35.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - It looks like a cup of coffee which is actually made of coffee creme brulee at the bottom, follow by cocoa crumble, a junior scoop of milk ice cream on top of it and finished with whisky foam which you can see in the picture above. To eat this, you MUST dig in deep from the top of the foam way down till you reach the coffee creme brulee and scoop it out. Put in your mouth to let the taste brings you to another universe. I am not exaggerating it because it is really that feeling. Bitterness from the coffee plus sweetness from the ice cream plus with whisky fragrance and ended up with a little chewy delight from the cocoa crumble. Spectacular feeling! 

Overall, I have nothing that I can pick on about this restaurant. If I really have to be very picky, I would say the groove music is not really suitable for a restaurant like this. Apart of that, it is their menu printing quality is pretty low class for a high class restaurant. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this restaurant to spend an unforgettable night. This restaurant is way better than the awful Marini's on 57.
Total Damage: RM594.65 for 2 pax
Ambiance: 4/5

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.

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...

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...

This exciting ice cream house is making Putrajaya a whole lots livelier with their irresistible ice cream selection.  If you plan to eat their single magnum stick, you only can take away.

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target ...
