Sushi Zento, Sri Petaling

-
When you are in Sri Petaling, one of the restaurant with the most outstanding design will be Sushi Zento. You just will not miss from not noticing it. Either exterior or the interior design, you know the owner has splash a lot of money in this restaurant.
 To those who prefer to dine from the sushi belt will be placed at their ground floor while others will be at their first floor. To my surprise that an extravaganza kind of renovation, they did not charge 6% GST but they do charge 10% service charge. Kind of weird.
Edamame @RM7.00++ - Can never go wrong with their Edamame especially a high class looking restaurant like this.
Chawanmushi @RM7.00++ - Smooth and succulent texture just what I want it to be.
Ninniku Yaki Meshi @RM7.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - It is a common garlic fried rice. It is not that bad at all even though it did taste a little salty but it is still an acceptable one for me.
Kunsei Kamo Maki @RM25.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Sushi roll with smoked duck on top. The combination is so wonderful especially the smoked duck is well done without any gamey taste on it. Chewy meat with a smokey flavor just what I want it to be like. Definitely must order.
Zaru Soumen @RM16.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - The sauce was fine but the main problem was the somen itself. It sticks together so bad which makes me taste some part is hard and some part is normal. Doesn't really enjoy it much.
Ika Geso Teriyaki @RM9.00++
Outlook: 2/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5 
Overall: 3/5 - This octopus legs are not bad at all. You can taste the hint of BBQ taste and a little saltiness from the teriyaki sauce. The best part is the octopus is fresh enough for you to enjoy the tangibleness in your mouth. Something you can chew a little longer for the BBQ taste roam around your mouth before you swallow it. 
Wakadori Wasabi Butter-Yaki @RM22.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Another must order dish. It is a chicken breast which has been grilled and soaked in their homemade butter wasabi gravy. The tender chicken breast with buttery taste and the wasabi is the most important part of the taste here. It does not really give you the spicy feeling but it is enough to entice your taste bud with it to make the whole dish to be divinely tasty.
Buta Amiyaki @RM20.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I will only order grilled pork in a Korean restaurant but I am not sure why I decided to make an exception this time to try the Japanese style. It turns out to be surprisingly delicious! It does looks like a little over grilled, the taste was fine overall. I love it and you should order this too!

Honjitsu No Tokusei Sashimi Moraiwase @RM221.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - It is their chef's recommendation of sashimi moriawase with 9 kinds with 3 pieces each. This is the first Japanese restaurant that serves the sashimi the last after we have finished all the food above. Extremely slow enough almost making me to cancel it which I was regretted for not doing so. All the fishes sashimi were fine and even the sea urchin too but unfortunately the prawn and clam were horrible. They are hardly fresh! They just spoiled the whole appetite that you had for the whole dinner. It is unbelievable for such a restaurant unable to provide fresh seafood.
Chizu Aisukurimu @RM13.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - I have to order this 3 times to get it. The service was really really bad. Anyway, the ice cream is not bad but it is not a must order. I ordered it just for my god daughter. Basically, she finished all of it by herself.

I can see that they have been investing a lot of money in this restaurant however they failed at 2 vital part in a high class Japanese Restaurant. First, serving not fresh prawn and clam in their sashimi moriawase. Second, the service is really poor. No one attend to us no matter how we wave to them. There is no call bell and there is no one assigned to watch over us or to attend to the row of tables around us. I have been ordering the cheese ice cream for 3 times and they finally able to lock in the order in their system at the third time. The whole service management is just havoc and it is going to ruin their business sooner or later! Overall, I do not think they are worth for a revisit if they did not improve their mistakes.
Total Damage: RM398.65 (3 pax)
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 1/5
Will I Revisit?: No

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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 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...

Rakuzen @Empire Shopping Gallery

-
Image
I may have introduced a "shocking"  Kampachi , Japanese Cuisine for you all. So this time I will lower a bit the level of the Japanese Cuisine but the quality is still that good. The Japanese Restaurant is called Rakuzen. This restaurant is the sister company with  Hokkaido Ichiba ,  Kura Japanese Restaurant ,  Zen ,  Sushi Zanmai  and  Pasta Zanmai  which means they are from the same boss. The difference is Rakuzen consider a high end Japanese Restaurant among all of them and follow by  Kura ,  Hokkaido Ichiba ,  Zen  and  Sushi Zanmai  while  Pasta Zanmai  is under different category. As you can see Super Dining Sdn Bhd has monopolizes the Japanese Restaurant market in Malaysia. That does not mean any good if the quality is not well maintained. This is the entrance of the Rakuzen Restaurant. No sushi belt available here so all orders are ala-carte basis. The dining area G...

K80 Go-Karting Session, City Karting @Shah Alam

Driving a go cart like a F1 driver before? I always dream about this and doing it together with my  sister  who is lack of adventurous gene in her. So lately Dealmates  is offering a great deal to experience such feel in a F1 circuit alike! The link for the offer as below: RM25 instead of RM35 for a 10-minute single K80 Go-Karting Session   So basically in this voucher you are paying for RM25 instead of  RM35 for a 100cc go kart. 100cc is very fast. Please do not compare with Genting 's go-kart which a bicycle can be faster than that. However, the major turn off is only valid on weekdays. Actually does not really affect me that much since I am owning my business. Haha... We went there twice. The first time she wear a skirt so not really good for her to drive. By the way, there is a two-seater go kart available too! So we make our second attempt this time and all the staffs still remember her as "the girl with her skirt" even almost 3 weeks! She ...

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 impressiv...
