The Hare by Sugar On Top, Austin Height

-
Another magnificent cafe has opened at Austin Heights. It is way too many cafes here and the competition is really tough. 
So for this cafe to be more appealing than the others, they really invested a lot of money with their interior design. It is a cheerful, peaceful and bright cafe. It is really relaxing in a sense.
You can tell that by the look of my boy who is usually so active but willing to settle down with his hot milk@RM5.90++.
I had a caffeinated ice matcha @RM12.90++ and my wife had her Americano @RM7.90++. We do enjoy their coffee very much. It is not a bad place for a cup of coffee like this. 
Their food menu is not just limited but most of them are out of stock which gave us no other better choice but to end up with this Carbonara "Hare"Style @RM20.90++. It is their signature which featuring smoked duck in it. It was not a bad dish either with creamery broth to entice the entire taste of the spaghetti.
Overall, it was a good place to have a cup coffee and chill. I am more looking forward for a cafe that has a small corner for their customers to put their kids to play while parents can have their own private time with their coffee. Such a cafe is really lack of in Johor Bahru. They should do this to be more appealing rather than the design itself.
Total Damage: RM52.35
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Recommended?: Yes, for a coffee and nothing more

Little Nyonya Cuisine @Gurney Plaza

-
Image
Once again being a free tour guide for a group of people from Yunnan, China to Penang for some nice local delicacies. However, they were complaining about our food is not spicy enough. So since they would like spicy food, the only place I can think of in Penang is The Little Nyonya Cuisine which located at the lower ground of Gurney Plaza.  Tomyam Seafood @RM18.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Spiciness Level: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The seafood contains fish, squid and prawns only which is not bad at all. I would consider their seafood is fresh.The best part is the tomyam soup which is very spicy enough to numb your whole tongue and jaw. Nyonya Asam Pedas Ikan Pari @RM18.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Spiciness Level: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The stingray is soft and delicious but the only problem was the moment the gravy touched my tongue, I already can taste the crazy spiciness in it which is far greater than the ...

Motorino @Sky Avenue, Resort World Genting

-
Image
Hailing from Brooklyn, Motorino opened its first Malaysian Branch in Genting Highlands, this being ninth branch out of 5 countries. The simple no frills entrance to the restaurant is a precursor to the interior. Black and white tiles, small circular tables with steel maroon chairs await the diners. The emphasis seems to be on delivering good food. The aroma of freshly baked pizzas emerging from two gigantic wood-fired ovens located strategically at the back of the restaurant wafts through the entire eatery. If you are a die-hard pizza lover, Motorino is the place you want to be at. Their pizza dough is freshly made every day by well-trained chefs. Only the freshest ingredients go into it. The entire dough is then place onto a giant flat ladle.  Customers are then treated to the side of the chef side of pizza being cooked before their eyes. The result is a tender melt in your mouth pizza filled with succulent juicy pieces of meat and dripping cheese on a rich tomato ba...

Restoran MS Bak Kut Teh, Sungai Besi

-
Image
Restoran MS Bak Kut Teh has been serving the Sungai Besi neighborhood for 6 long years. It is opened by an enthusiastic couple who wants to bring good food to the people around. They are very creative enough to keep inventing new recipe. You would be surprised to see their thick menu. From bak kut teh to selling all kinds of varieties dishes.   Curry Claypot Fish @RM35.00 (small)/RM38.00 (big) Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - The curry fragrance is so thick but not spicy at all. The fish is so soft and with a little fried sensation which makes the meat not dull and boring. However, you have to watch out for the bones. It is everywhere. They only have one type of fish which is the Tilapia. So most of their fish cuisine is made from Tilapia. The pot is really big and it is only the small portion. I believe it can feed up to 3 pax. Super worth it. Pork Ribs with Yam @RM26.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3...

Sawadee Thai Cuisine @Bophut Fisherman Village, Koh Samui

-
Image
I really in love with Thai food so the first thing I would like to eat when I came to Koh Samui is to find a Thai restaurant so I came into this restaurant called Sawadee Thai Cuisine which is located at Bophut Fisherman Village. Actually almost all the restaurants here serves Thai food but not most of them serve only Thai food. Koh Samui is a tourist destination so even the restaurant menu has to be internationalized. Only Sawadee Thai Cuisine serves almost 100% original Thai food.  Paneng Pork @290 baht++ Outlook: 2/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Paneng curry is a type of Thai curry that is generally milder than other Thai curries. It traditionally includes dried chili peppers, galangal, lemongrass, coriander root, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic, shrimp paste and salt, and sometimes also shallots and peanuts. So it is taste least spicy than other Thai curry. The taste of dish is made a little sloppy because I do not feel it is worth ...

How Lee Coffee Shop, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
In Kota Kinabalu, you will find noodles from different part of town such as Tuaran Mee , Beaufort Mee and now what I am going to introduce to you is the another town's local mee which is known as Tenom Mee. I think I do not have to mention where it is originated. I find that people in KK are really pampered with all kinds of noodle serving to them. This is Tenom noodle which is slightly disappointing because after our experience with the Beaufort noodle , we brought a pretty high expectation this will be somehow better or at least the same like it. However, to us, it is just another noodle like the wantan mee. Wantan mee taste way better thou. There is the possibility this restaurant doesn't serve the real Tenom noodle or the Tenom noodle is actually looks like this. Well, I only can find out if I make a visit to Tenom. The tenom noodle is actually substitute with the rice so we have to order some other dishes to accompany with it. So we had a bowl of different types...

Goat Catching Game with lunch @UK Farm Agro Resort

-
Image
Continue from my previous post about UK Farm which is located at Air Hitam, Kluang. This time I would like to share with you about a very challenging activity which is called the goat catching game. It is the signature activity of this farm. In another words, you do not consider coming to this farm if you are not playing this game. This game is cost at RM5/pax. The rule of this game is very simple. You need to catch the goat within 10 minutes time frame. The maximum pax to join is 5. The more the easier it is. Here you are, they just release 6 goats for you to catch. Let the hunt begins! Yes, you are catching them with your bare hands on this sandy field. Not really a good idea thou. It is not the grassy land like you see in their official website. If you think it is easy, you are wrong. It is not about how fast is your speed to outrun the goat. It is about teamwork. Well, I would say our teamwork is very poor. How to catch when the goat can jump?! Seriously when you...

Steaped, a modern way to appreciate tea @Pavilion Mall KL

-
Image
When you happened to smell an unique aromatic tea fragrant when you are walking at Pavilion Mall KL, do look for the logo of a hummingbird where you will find Steaped. The store is clean, modern and revitalizing which is a perfect spot for customers looking for a perfect tea infusion to start their day. Steaped knows that coffee has always being the leader as an important beverage intake for most of our daily life. Tea is seldom in the picture. In order to make the breakthrough, they have created all kinds of recipes with amazing top quality ingredients just to persuade us that tea is a good choice too. Steaped's Sweet Apple Pie @RM12.00 (regular)/RM13.50 (Large) - This is their most popular drink under Rooibos Signature Drinks category. Personally, I would really recommend this drink for being a starter in appreciating tea. The ingredients in it are rooibos, apple juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Rooibos itself is a costly ingredient so you would expect the price of this drink wo...

Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm, Ayer Tawar

-
Image
The first time we are bringing our new member in our family for a family day trip is to Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm. The farm is located 1 hour away from Johor Bahru and 30 minutes away from Desaru. The price of the ticket is RM8 (adult) and RM6 (child). For kids below 4 years old is free.  They built a path with shed with the crocodile cage on the either side. There is a wooden platform for us to step on it to look at the crocodile.  Too bad the platform is good for adult but not the kids. The kids will need the adults to carry them. There is a large lake where all the crocodiles can roam freely at this area. I cannot imagine myself if I fell into this place. I believe there are hundreds of crocodiles with various of sizes waiting for me. Actually this place is for the female crocodiles to find a nest to lay their eyes. They separate the crocodiles by their ages.  I didn't see any baby crocodiles but this is the smallest that I have seen in the fa...

Cruise Tour on Erhai Lake, Dali

-
Image
Erhai Lake is the largest highland lake next to Dianchi and one of the seven biggest fresh water lakes in China. It means, 'sea shaped like an ear', in Chinese. Implying that the lake is ear shaped and as large as a sea, hence it was so named. The Erhai Lake covers an area of 250 square kilometers (96 square miles) and is located about two kilometers (1.2 miles) east of Dali. It is like a crescent lying between Cangshan and Dali city as seen from Cangshan Mountain. In a sunny day, the crystal waters of Erhai Lake and the snow mantled Cangshan Mount radiate with each other. Thus the scene was commonly described as 'Silver Cangshan and Jade Erhai'. There are a lot of ways to tour around the Erhai Lake but I suggested you the best two ways. Cycling/Sightseeing Car/Electric Bike/Electric Car - No matter which type of transportation you are using, you need 2 days to complete the tour around the lake. The total distance is 128km. My suggestion is you leave your big...
