Tanzini Upperdeck @ G Hotel

-
Tanzini restaurant is located inside G Hotel at Level 28. This restaurant divided into two distinctive sectionswhich are Tanzini Level 28 is serving Italian and modern European fusion menu (set dinner and a la carte) while the Upperdeck is our fine dining with a touch of French (set dinner only). Tanzini Level 28 opens for Lunch and Dinner while Upperdeck is dinner only. The picture above is the Upperdeck. I have tried to book a seat here for 2 times because they always run company events at this section. Finally, I succeeded in my third attempt.
Their sofa seats are really huge and they recommend us to sit together on the same sofa. Their dinner set always change regularly. You might not see the same menu like below after 2 - 3 months from now. This idea is brilliant to have their very own loyal customers to visit them regularly to taste something different than before. They have 3 types of different dinner courses which are Expose Menu (3-course) @RM215++/pax, Explore Menu (5-course) @RM280++/pax and Experience Menu (7-course) @RM350++/pax. The difference is the number of appetizer, soup and main course. 
Their complimentary bread was pretty disappointing for a French cuisine. Not warm, not fragrant and not really impressive at all. We have a very high expectation on bread especially a 5 star restaurant.
Each of us ordered their Expose Menu which consists of 1 appetizer or soup, 1 main course and 1 dessert. Their selection is extremely limited. You do not have luxurious choices to make. They only have 3 types of appetizer, 1 type of soup, 3 types of main course and 2 types of dessert to choose from.
Scallop from Hokkaido, Japan
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall: 4/5 - Consists of Seared Hokkaido Scallop, “Truffle of the Sea”, Chicken Emulsion, Matcha Nori Streusel. The scallop is really so sweet and fresh by itself but the devilish truffle sauce has enhanced the taste of it into a whole new level. It is an extremely delicious dish. You would wish the portion to be bigger.
Whelk from Bordeaux, France
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 1/5
Overall: 2/5 - Consists of Whelk Carpaccio, Seaghetti in Thai Dried Shrimp, Smoked Cod Roe. Seaghetti means the normal seaweed that is presented like a spaghetti. It is just too salty which makes your whole tongue numb! It is very disappointing dish. I do not see the highlight of this dish at all but saltiness.
Intermission - Sorbet. A great savior for me to clean the saltiness on my tongue.
Red Mullet from Brittany, France
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 2/5
Overall: 2/5 - Consists of Oven Finished Red Mullet, Pickled Beet, Red Mullet Essence, Black Quinoa. I can't believe their main course is so small portion which I thought it is their appetizer too. No wonder they have 7 courses which consists of 2 main courses in their Experience Menu which cost at RM350++/pax. As for the taste, nothing impressive about this small piece of fish meat. It is a little salty but not as salty as the seaghetti.
Blackmore's Wagyu from Vistoria, Australia
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Overall: 4/5 - Consists of Saikyo Miso Marinated 600 Days Grain Fed Wagyu, Carrot & Cucumber Slaw, Natural Jus. This steak is around 50gram only even my picture might shown it quite big to you. This is one of the best dish for that night. The steak is made medium rare and the texture of it is simply delightful. The majestic part of it is you enjoy the true beef meat with a little spices needed to enhance the taste of it. You would wish this in a bigger portion.
Earth
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Consists of Nitro Jerusalem Artichoke Gelato, Hazelnut Sponge, Skins, Dark Muscovado Sugar Floss. The ice cream tastes very unique to me because I haven't experience something like this before. The spongecake is filled with hazelnut fragrance in it which is really delicious. However, I do not see the meaning of these combination. They somehow is good by their own. 
Grapefruit Shortcake
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - Consists of Grapefruit-Campari Orb, Toasted Almond Cake, Cereal Whipped Dulcey 32%, Mandarins. You need to knock on the Grapefurit-Campari orb before you start to eat. Mix a little with the shortcake to taste it. The grapefruit taste a little too strong for us. It somehow carries a little bitterness in it. However, I love the shortcake. It carries a little crunchy with a delightful almond taste in it.
This is how you knock on it. The inside is empty.
I have been always wanted to be here but somehow I am not very impressed with their menu. I hope they have a better menu with more choices in it after a few months.The ambiance here is truly relax and wonderful. I really enjoy the environment even though there is no spectacular view to appreciate. Overall, I recommended to try this place at least once for the experience but definitely not becoming their regular customer.
Total Damage: RM606.70 (2 pax)
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Price: 1/5
Will I Revisit?: No

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. 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.

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 to your prefer

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 tax of 6%. Seriou

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. It really took them full 60 years to get the fruit of their hard work. Their villa is well equipped with air-con, hot shower and LCD TV with hundreds of Blu-Ray quality movies in it! 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. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre

Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy, Salak Selatan

-
Image
The first time I had my first black pepper Bak Kut Teh was at Sandakan. I never know there is one at Kuala Lumpur. I got to know it from Axian from his TV Programme, "Taste with Jason". The name of the restaurant is Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy. Even they have a space of three shop lots, their seats are still fully occupied. In the past, they were doing mining business. This is their old mining machine which they still keep it very well. Vegetable Rice @RM2.00 - You should try their vegetable which is very tasty. It is just cost RM1.00 more than their normal white rice. Black Pepper Bak Kut Teh Claypot @RM44.00 + Bean Curd @RM3.00 + YouTiao (small)@RM4.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature dish which is catered for four. A very different from the common herbal type of Bak Kut Teh. You will taste a very rich black pepper fragrance in this soup. Very delicious. Yes, I have to admit it is a little spicy bu

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

Merlion Park, Singapore

Driving in Singapore is really a pain especially the traffic congestion, parking hunting and speed cameras alert which is seems like everywhere. As for parking, weekdays parking is like vampire sucking all your money out from your wallet when the clock keeps ticking. Not just parking but their ERP toll is sucking the money out of your Autopass card too. However, I have realized that the best days to travel to Singapore is on weekends and especially on Sunday. ERP toll is free on Sundays. Parking rate are cheaper on Sundays and there are places are free parking too. Not much cars and peoples on the street on Sundays. Sunday is just perfect day at Singapore! Of course, if you plan to eat their buffets, Sunday will be not a suitable day as it will be super expensive. Anyway, today I just want to share one of the tourist attraction in Singapore which is the Merlion Park. I parked at Fullerton Hotel which has ample of parking spaces and it is only S$5.00/entry. The Fullerton Hotel is j

Kedai Kopi Jia Siang Sheng Rou Mian, Lintas Plaza

-
Image
At Kota Kinabalu, you may find Sheng Rou noodle is very common and famous among the local especially this Kedai Kopi Jia Siang which has a lot of customers roaming to their restaurant from day to night. Since they have a crowd like this, I have to make my point for it. Complimentary tofu for each ala-carte order. Tsate normal for me because I prefer a hot tofu. Sheng Rou Soup Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - The ingredients are a lot but the noodle is plain and unimpressive. Noodle plays an important role but they have taken it lightly. It is just a normal commercial noodle not some handmade noodle. Dried Sheng Rou Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Once again, the noodle is the root cause for the low score.  Meat Ball Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - This is a meat ball that will explode gravy in it. That is why they are look so big. As for the taste, not really impressive as

Thai Boat Noodles is a trendy authentic Boat Noodles originated in Bangkok Kwan Riam Floating Market located between Soi Saereethai 60 and Soi Ramkhamhaeng 187 where the vendors cook food in the little boats. It gains popularity not only with the locals but the tourist alike due to its sophisticated aroma riched soup based with sultry smooth Thai glass noodle that consists of more than 10 ingredients to prepare a piping hot bowl of comfort food. Aroi Thai Boat Noodles will target both Thai food lovers as well as casual diners looking for good food in a fascinating Thai atmosphere. Recently there is an interesting Thai restaurant which is known as Aroii Thai opened at Shaftsbury Square at Cyberjaya. The interesting part is all their food and drinks are only RM1.90++/each. I am not joking and I thought it was a gimmick too when I first heard of this. So I decided to drop by all the to Cyberjaya for a visit.  Aroii in Thai means delicious. This delicious eatery is always packed with
