Gathering & Food: Chan Chan Yong Tau Foo Restaurant, Bandar Manjarala
This time, our selection of food would be Yong Tau Foo. We had chosen Chan Chan Yong Tau Foo Restaurant located at Bandar Manjarala. Once we sat down, we have ordered a lot of Yong Tau Foo and of course we manage to finish it. We've ordered 66 pieces of Yong Tau Foo as well as a plate of meat and a curry pork as well (see pictures). The overall dishes is average only and nothing really attractive as well. The food is just normal to consume and nothing's special too except the Yong Tau Foo, which is pretty nice as the Tau Foo skin is pretty nice to eat when you put into your mouth. That time we arrived at about 7.30pm and the restaurant is pretty crowded as well.
We had 8 members joining tonight including Sai Kit, Chloe, ME, Kimmy, Yen Peng, Jason Ng, Stanley and May Low who joined in tonight's gathering. Special thanks to our beloved organizer Yen Peng, who had organized such a wonderful event too. If you would like to try for Yong Tau Foo, I would say this restaurant is not so recommended instead you should try other restaurant such as those restaurants in Ampang where you can enjoy more quality food. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

I've subscribe to it and try out the speed. Out of my expectation, the modem performed perfectly where I can get 2MB above at my residents here in Kelana Jaya. Previously by using my own modem (up to 3.6Mbps only), I can only go up to 1Mbps only. The speed was awesome and it just took me approximately 2 minutes to load the full video (MV). Attached is also a screenshot that I take from speedtest.net website and it was brilliant to say.

Food Hunt: Restaurant Piccadilly @ Millennium Square, Petaling Jaya
Hello folks,
A day after I came back from Bali, we are in search for food hunt already. On a lovely and HOT sunny Saturday afternoon, ME and Alan had a tough time deciding what to eat. Then I asked my brother Alan to decide and finally a restaurant that came into his mind. He said this restaurant is pretty cheap and you can enjoy lots of nice food including Japanese, Indian, Chinese, Malay, Western etc. So, without any hesitation, I quickly drive over there and here we go!
Finally we arrived at this restaurant. Introducing the Piccadilly Restaurant here located at the Millenium Square at Section 14 in Petaling Jaya. It was a pretty big and cozy restaurant and my brother told me that at night especially weekends, this place will be packed with people as they came here mainly to catch the English Premier League games LIVE broadcast. It was a new and yet happening place to yumcha! But ME & Alan went in the afternoon which we could only see very less people and only a few tables occupied. Once we sat down, we were given the menu and guess what, the menu is very special in design indeed. Decorated with the English Premier League football logo which is my favourite together in red color. Inside the menu, there were lots of food served and I have a tough time deciding on what to eat. After spending almost 10 minutes, I finally found out what to dine in.
Alan ordered Mutton Nasi Briyani with Ice Kacang (ABC) meanwhile I have ordered Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Sauce served with Ice Kacang (ABC) as well (see pictures). The ABC Ice Kacang which came first and the design was awesome. The moment I saw the Ice Kacang, I would love to try it already and once I put it into my mouth, it was so delicious and yummy. It was a good kick start to our food we ordered. For Alan's Mutton Nasi Briyani, it was so delicious and nice. The curry was very 'RED' and nice to consume. The rice is also pretty soft and delicious. Alan was very satisfied with the food and then say that he would come back again to try other food next time. For my Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Sauce, the design wasn't that attractive but still I vowed the food will be nice and there it goes! The grilled chicken was so tasty and delicious as well. Every drop and every pieces that goes into my mouth, it was marvellous and tasty! While I am writing this blog, I can still sense the taste! Haha! :)
Alan & ME would totally recommended the dish that we've ordered and you should come and try it out! I can 100% guarantee you that you will not regret it and you will love it very much and perhaps will make it a 2nd visit again. The price was reasonable and not expensive. The Mutton Nasi Briyani costs about RM8.90 and the portion is rather big as well. The Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Sauce meanwhile costs about RM11.90 and the portion is just average and the vegetables and fries are a bit less. The Ice Kacang (ABC) was a must ordered and it's part of the mouth watering dishes before you go for the main course. It costs RM3.00 only. The total bill came and it's about RM29.00 plus tax and I would say 'VALUE FOR MONEY' once again. I would love and definately to come back again for the food and the price. Totally Recommended! MY RATING: 5/5 ; ALAN RATING: 5/5

BALI TRIP: Day 3 Places Of Interest
The first stop is at the Taman Ayun Temple : Royal Family Temple surrounded by big pond. This place took us about 1 hour to reach the place from my hotel in Kuta. This place is huge and has a very nice scenery of a garden surrounded by a large pond in between it. It's situated in Mengwi. It was officially founded by the King of Mengwi. Inside the garden, there is also a temple which enable the people over there to do their prayers. It was a great place to take photos as the greenery of the garden gives us a good feel in the morning. There is also a tower where we need to climb some stairs where up the tower, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the whole garden and the temple over there. We spend almost 45 minutes over there taking photos and enjoy the scenery. A recommended place to visit. Entrance fees is IDR 6.000 per person.
Our tour guide then introduced to us the fruits and flower market named the Candi Kuning. Candi Kuning sits at the top of the hill as well and is about 1KM from the Botanical Garden. There, you can see many stalls selling fruits and flowers as well. You can purchase them and it's totally fresh from farm. For ME, I bought myself Advocado fruit for my aunty meanwhile Kimmy bought Advocado and prunes for her family. The price meanwhile was slighly expensive but please consider that some fruits you will get to buy here in Malaysia. E.G. 1KG of Advocado (4-5 pcs) costs about IDR 10.000. Normally if you follow the tour guide, the tour guide will bring you here. A recommended place for shopping for flowers & fruits.
Then our tour guide send us back to hotel about 6.45pm and then we rest a while in the hotel. Then we continue our journey by walking / exploring ourselves along Jalan Pantai Kuta. We had dinner at the food court over there and then we took some photos at the Hard Rock Cafe in Bali. Then we continue our walking journey heading towards Legian Street as well and then we head towards back towards our hotel at 10.45pm.
