Food Hunt: Menya Musashi Restaurant (Isetan 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya)


Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy is at 1 Utama Shopping Centre for some shopping and in the same time we had our dinner there. We have chosen this restaurant that was recommended by my friend and the restaurant name is called Menya Musashi Restaurant located inside Isetan 1 Utama (inside Eat Paradise 2nd Floor). We reached the restaurant at about 7.30pm and it was pack and full. We waited for about 15 minutes before we found our seat.
Once we sat down, we browse through the menu and this is what we've ordered:

1.) Ki Musashi (RM26.00)
2.) Miso Shiro Ramen (RM27.00)
3.) Green Tea X 2 (RM2.00 each)

We waited for about 10 minutes and then the food arrived. The service is good and fast although it's packed. This restaurant is famous for its Ramen and without any hesitation, we ordered and try it out. The Ki Musashi Ramen is a must try when you reach this restaurant. This Ramen Noodle is served with mild spicy broth and it comes with a few pieces of pork slices, an egg and some vegetables as well. The broth is superb and the Ramen is nice too. Meanwhile for Miso Shiro Ramen, it was just so-so and the broth served is not as nice as the Ki Musashi Ramen.

Ki Musashi (RM26.00)
Miso Shiro Ramen (RM27.00)
Green Tea (RM2.00)
We paid for about RM66.10 for this meal together with an additional 10% Service Charge and 6% Government Tax. It was superbly expensive based on the portion we get and the price. Overall, we do enjoy the meal over here but it's pricey. Enjoy the food! RECOMMENDATION: YES ; RATING: 4/5

Synopsis: 

Set in a world that is run by the mob, street gangs, drug addicts, and corrupt cops, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), is a woman living in Taipei, Taiwan, who is forced to work as a drug mule for the mob. The drug implanted in her body inadvertently leaks into her system, changing her into a superhuman. She can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind and can't feel pain and other discomforts.

_________________________________________________________

My Comments: Today we went to TGV 1 Utama to catch the latest flick from Scarlett Johansson and it's called Lucy. Scarlett Johansson is famous for its sexy body and it's great capability of acting as well. This is a direct Sci-Fi movie which gives its audiences a lot to think about and of course a lot of talking point. This movie talks about human brains which we uses about 10% of our human brain to function in our daily lives but Lucy uses about 90% of her brain and what is the causes and consequences about this. This movie is a pretty complicated movie and it has a lot of talking point. Why Lucy is using 90% of it's brain? It's because she took a drug implanted into her body changing her into a superwoman as she can absorb knowledge instantaneously. What will happen to her at last? You have to watch this movie. This movie is strictly for 18 years and above only and then it's recommended for you to watch this movie too. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5


Festival: Happy 57th Merdeka Malaysia


Happy 57th Independance Day Malaysia!

Well, the first question in my mind is what does MERDEKA means to you? For me, Merdeka means we want a good, fair and civilized government who really take care of it's own people. This is what Merdeka really means for us. By having a corrupted and unfair government with no freedom of speech, this would really effect the people so much and this is not going to happen right here in Malaysia.

Merdeka is a day to remember where our country were freed from the other nations civilizations. We were then take over by our first prime minister, Tuanku Abdul Rahman and after that the Barisan Nasional had taken over the government for like 57 years. We will always remember this day as long as the government does not misuse its powers and to put a big pressure on the people. All of us Malaysians celebrates Merdeka together in peaceful and harmony with different cultures together as we must stand put and put our hands together to tackle difficult times to ensure our country that we lived are in peace and harmony state.

SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA MALAYSIA!

Cinema Movie: The Expendables 3

 
Release Date: 14 Aug 2014
Language:English
Subtitle: Chinese / Malay
Genre:Action / Adventure / Thriller
Running Time: 126 minutes
Director:Patrick Hughes
Cast:Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Wesley Snipes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Glen Powell, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer, Victor Ortiz, Robert Davi, Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey
 
Synopsis:

Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill... or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables' most personal battle yet.

__________________________________________________________

My Comments: I am at GSC Paradigm Mall today to catch the movie The Expendables 3 and since I did watch the first and second installment, the two movies are equally nice and action packed with some brutal scenes. Now here comes the third installment and the almost the same old famous actor flooded this movie including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson and of course the new faces that appeared in this movie including Antonio Banderas, Victor Ortiz, Robert Davi, Kellan Lutz and Ronda Rousey. The new faces did a great job as supporting actors/actress against the famous actor and it did impress me.

For me this movie gives me a lot of action packed scenes and of course a lot of good jokes for us to laugh at as well. The storyline is very clear cut as the good guy hit back at the bad guy once again. If you remembered Stonebanks who co-founded The Expendables with Barney in the first installment and he appeared in the third installment and this time trying to end The Expendables. Barney lead the charge of defending The Expendables and this movie was equally impressive than the first and second installment. It was running for about 120 minutes and I would promise you that this movie is not boring at all and it bring you full of jokes and action packed excitement. 
 
I would strongly recommend you to watch this movie and please be informed that this movie is rated 18SG and it's suitable to watch if you're 18 and above. This time the movie does not contain any brutality scenes and it's just normal shooting and killing scenes. Enjoy the movie. MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5


Food Hunt: Betty's Midwest Kitchen, Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya (Part 2)



Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy had planned over to Betty's Midwest Kitchen and it's Kimmy's birthday. This is our 2nd visit here since our last visit on May 1st 2014. Today we try other menu at the restaurant and we do expect the main course to be tasty. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Beer Boston Butt (RM33.90)
2.) Baby Back Rib (RM37.90)
3.) Stewant's Root Beer (RM7.00)
4.) Hot Lemon Tea (RM5.00)

We reached the restaurant at about 1.00pm and the crowd was not as much as during dinner time. We only waited for about 10 minutes and the food finally arrives. We share among the food to try out which is the best. The Beer Boston Butt steak is simply fantastic. The sauce is nice (sauce tastes like Chinese Pork Sauce) and the pork meat is soft and it's nearly into perfection. It also comes with mashed potatoes, green beans and 2 slices of carrot. This is one of the best Pork steak that I ever try before in my entire life. Super recommended to order it. Next up is the Baby Back Rib. This is also another super recommended steak to order. The ribs are grilled into perfection and it tastes marvelous. It also comes with french fries and salad. Both of these dishes has its own delicious taste and then the portion is big and it's worth the price we are paying.

Stewant's Root Beer (RM7.00) + Hot Lemon Tea (RM5.00)
About the drinks, another must try item at Betty's Midwest Kitchen would be the Stewant's Root Beer. It's 100% originally imported from USA. It tastes much better than A&W Root Beer and it's of course a premium Root Beer as well. You should try it. The Hot Lemon Tea meanwhile is just normal and nothing special to shout about.

Baby Back Rib (RM37.90)
Beer Boston Butt (RM33.90)
For the price of about RM92.20 (inclusive of 10% Service Charge), we do have a wonderful and fantastic meal and I would never forget about it. The price is reasonable for the portion and the taste. No doubt about it, you MUST come over and try out their steaks over here especially the ones I recommended on this post. Totally worth the money and time spent here. Enjoy your food! MY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT) ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT)

Cinema Movie: Guardians Of The Galaxy



Release Date: 31 Jul 2014
Language:English
Subtitle: Chinese / Malay
Genre:Action / Adventure / Science Fiction
Running Time: 122 minutes
Director:James Gunn
Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan,
Djimon Hounsou

Synopsis:

A U.S. pilot named Peter Quill finds himself caught in the middle of a conflict spanning the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as he becomes Star-Lord and teams with ex-cons to form the Guardians of the Galaxy.
____________________________________________________

My Comments:  Today we have a planned movie outing and we are anticipated with another Marvel comic movie called Guardians Of The Galaxy. This movie features a lot of superheroes and in the same time the movie concept is just like the second Star Wars or Star Trek. It was a truly great and funny movie to catch and my expectation is low towards this movie but a few days before I am going to watch this movie, good comments started to pour in as I read reviews and comments and it says superb. Then I started to keep my expectation high and once I finished this movie, I found it simply amazing. Director James Gunn have done well by creating this masterpiece and I believe it had turned into great returns. With casts like Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana, this movie is set to be another Marvel Center Stage with marvelous fireworks. 

The story talks about the guardians who guarded the galaxy and they are fighting each other in order to control the orb. The orb is a strong and powerful tool and those who earned it will be able to control and in the same time destroy the galaxy as well. It will be the bad guy named Ronan who wanted to steal the orb and control the galaxy by destroying the tribes and troops on the planet of Xandar. Can he do it or can the U.S. pilot named Peter Quill (also known as Star-Lord) stopped this mess together with his friends (Guardian Of The Galaxy)? This movie contains lots of action and jokes and it was evenly between these two. The most noticeable character in this movie is definitely the Groot. The Groot is the only mighty tree in this movie who only says "I AM GROOT" & "WE ARE GROOT" for the entire movie until the end. 

The movie is easy to understand and it also contains some heartbreaking moments too. It's easy to understand and kids will simply love this movie as well. I can tell you that this movie is not boring at all and you will be always awake. I would strongly recommend you to watch this movie with your whole family, couples or even yourself (alone) as this movie is a highly anticipated movie for Marvel Comic lovers besides the famous Captain America, Thor and so on. This is a special and the first space movie that Marvel Comic had done before and they have done successfully well. And don't forget after you finish the movie, do not leave your seats as there's an end scene credit will be shown after the ending credits being shown and it has some connection with Howard The Duck. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Implicated by her gangster boyfriend, MEI-CHING is charged with attempted robbery and is found guilty. Although CHIT-HANG, as the lawyer representing MEI-CHING, fails to exculpate her from the charge, the two fall in love with each other. Gradually, under CHIT-HANG’s guidance, MEI-CHING manages to turn over a new leaf after getting out of the jail. Through his investigation, LAP-FAN learns that, many years ago, he negligently shot and thereby paralyzed a civilian, who turns out to be CHIT-HANG. Instead of bearing a grudge against LAP-FAN, CHIT-HANG turns into his best friend. CHIT-HANG has been abandoned by his family ever since the accident. In order to make a living, it takes him more effort than the others to eventually stand out and become a rising star in the legal profession. Being recruited by wealthy businessmen, MA KAI-YUEN (Louis Cheung) and TO YEE-HANG (Waise Lee), CHIT-HANG often claims victory in lawsuit cases by surprise tactics, helping set his clients free. However, there is evil hiding behind his decency. The more successful CHIT-HANG becomes, the more suspicious LAP-FAN gets. All of them, including MEI-CHING, seem to be trapped in the slowly tightening grip of encirclements one after another, finding themselves on the horns of a dilemma……MY RATING: 5/5

Cinema Movie: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes

 
 
Release Date: 10 Jul 2014
Language:English
Subtitle: -
Genre:Action / Drama / Science Fiction
Running Time: 130 minutes
Director:Matt Reeves
Cast:Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Enrique Murciano, Toby Kebbell & Kirk Acevedo
 
Synopsis:
 
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier.  They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
 
________________________________________________________
 
My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy spend our extended pre-holidays session for yet another movie and today we watch this movie at GSC Tropicana City Mall. This movie is called the Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. This movie features the apes and human kind where both are struggling to maintain the good relationships in between and then it has become a war and an even bigger war in future. The apes blamed the human kind where they were then being experimented and the apes suffered from it. Meanwhile the apes would wanted to seek revenge and then to do the same to human kind. With this it would spark a cold war between the apes and humans. The storyline is easy to understand and at times it was quite boring until the action appears. The casts meanwhile are just average except Andy Serkis who is quite a famous actor. 
 
I would say this movie gives its audiences a lot of grieves and of course you need to prepare tissue papers. There are a lot of sad and touching moments that you can see especially the apes and when the apes reacted with human kind as well. It was a good balanced movie between love, fight and sorrow and it was watchable at the end of 130 minutes. Kids will love this but still it's under parental guidance as well. I would recommend you to watch this movie although it's little boring at times but the movie still manage to live up the expectations with some real battle between the apes and human kind. Enjoy the movie. MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Cinema Movie: Transformers - Age Of Extinction


Release Date: 26 Jun 2014
Language:English
Subtitle: Chinese / Malay
Genre:Action / Adventure / Science Fiction
Running Time: 165 minutes
Director:Michael Bay
Cast:Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, Jack Reynor, Lee Bing Bing, Han Geng


Synopsis:

Set four years after the climactic battle of "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon". As humanity picks up the pieces, Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control - all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. The epic adventure and battle between good and evil, freedom and enslavement ensues.
____________________________________________________________

My Comments: Finally the long awaited Transformers movie are in town once again and this time we have chosen GSC Tropicana City Mall as our destination to catch Transformers movie. This is the 4th installment where the previous installment was just fine and nothing so special about it except it's action packed. This time around Age Of Extinction is the 4th installment episode and will it be the same as the 3rd or better?  Is Micheal Bay running out of ideas or he manage to create something special on the 4th installment? Let's see.

The answer is almost the same. This movie is action packed and it's rich in robots fighting between the Autobots and Decepticons. The storyline meanwhile is a bit crappy and it's not so attractive as per 3rd installment. If you watch in 3D then this is definitely the movie for you as it contains a lot of close ups scenes that would blown your mind off. The Autobots and Decepticons are all vanished from the scenes until scientist start studying the making of them to rule the world. But then the scientist made a mistake and then everything turned into a chaos where the Autobots have to revive and then to save human kind again. The battle between Autobots and Decepticons continues and it was an explosive approximately 2 hours plus of action packed scenes and you will simply love it too. Will Decepticons defeated and continue to the next installment? You must checked it out at cinemas near you. I would still recommend you to watch this movie with your whole family and kids would love this one but the storyline is a bit difficult for them to understand. Overall I would say not the best but still good. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Leisure: Petronas Primax 95 with Advance Technology Formula



Dear All,

Petronas just announce their new fuel on May 26th 2014 and this is what we called the new formula fuel called Petronas Primax 95 with Advance Technology Formula. This fuel replaces all existing formula of Petronas Primax 95 Xtra. Have you tried it out personally? For me, this is my 4th tank fueling up with this fuel and I am pretty impressed with the performance of the fuel.


 Six grands prix, six victories – that’s the amazing record MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has scored so far this season. And PETRONAS PRIMAX plays a vital role, helping the Mercedes F1 W05 Hybrid achieve stratospheric performance while consuming 30% less fuel than the year before. Now you too can achieve new levels of fuel efficiency with the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 with Advanced Energy Formula.


 Developed in collaboration with PETRONAS PRIMAX technical performance consultant and MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver, Lewis Hamilton, along with PETRONAS’ own team of engineers and chemists across Asia and Europe, the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 incorporates the knowledge and lessons learnt from the racetracks via PETRONAS Fluid Technology Solutions, a range of tailor-made product offerings and expert services that maximise your vehicle’s performance.
The Advanced Energy Formula imbues the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 with a set of qualities that improve the efficiency of the fuel. Firstly, it optimises fuel delivery through the cleaning and protection of critical injector and engine parts. It also creates a finer spray when injected into the combustion chamber, increasing atomisation and ensuring cleaner, more efficient combustion.
Finally, it lubricates the cylinder wall and piston rings, reducing power-sapping friction, and replenishes the surface active components of engine oil when it accumulates in the oil sump. With these key race-proven innovations, the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 ensures you extract the maximum amount of energy from every drop.


“Fuel economy matters to me, even more importantly this season where fuel efficiency is the game changer in Formula One,” said Lewis Hamilton. “With the fuel limit capped this season, we have to ensure that every drop of PETRONAS PRIMAX that goes into the car is engineered to deliver optimum performance.” “PETRONAS has done an amazing job in coming up with a superior formulation for PETRONAS PRIMAX that has fuelled our team to victory. As PETRONAS PRIMAX’s technical performance consultant, I am extremely honoured to be able to share this winning formula with Malaysian drivers,” he added.


The new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 with Advanced Energy Formula is now on sale at all PETRONAS stations nationwide and is sold at the normal regulated price of RON 95 petrol. To learn more about the new PETRONAS PRIMAX 95, and to locate the nearest PETRONAS station, visit www.mymesra.com.my.

My previous fuel choice would be BHPetrol and it claimed to be one of the best fuel in Malaysia and to compare with the new Primax 95 fuel, Primax is slightly below par if compared with BHPetrol. In terms of mileage, it recorded almost the same between these 2 fuels but power wise BHPetrol are more powerful when entering straight roads but Primax performed better when it goes up hill. I would still recommend you to pump Petronas Primax 95 with Advance Technology Formula as this fuel is good and responsive as well as giving you slightly better mileage (5-7% more). Do try it out and enjoy your drive. MY RATING: 5/5

Petrol Ranking As of 17th June 2014 (Based on vehicle Proton Saga BLM)

1.) BHPetrol

My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy were at TGV 1 Utama for shopping and in the same time to catch a movie of our choice as well. We have chosen Maleficent as our choice and let's go straight to the movie preview. Maleficent is a great story which talk about adventure and fantasy and with a strong cast like Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning and Sam Riley, this movie is set to bring you some great adventure with good storyline with some outstanding graphics and good moral value of the story. It started off slowly but then it lasted for about 15 minutes and later than that, the movie started to build up and it's becoming more interesting. At almost the end of the movie, movie goers may be in tears as there are touching scenes which really makes you cry too. This movie is just like a remake version of Alice In Wonderland but I guess this one is as good as Alice In Wonderland. This movie is very suitable to watch by all walks of life but of course kids would enjoy this more. If you have not watch this movie, do catch it at the nearest cinema near you and I guess you will love it. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Food Hunt: Taste Of Italy Set, Pizza Hut


Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had planned for a special outing to try out the latest pizza hut menu that was being introduced recently. It's called the Taste Of Italy. This pizza can be ordered via ala-carte or by set. This is what we've ordered:

Signature Course (RM32.90)

- 1 Taste Of Italy Pizza
- 1 Taste Of Italy Pasta
- 1 Italiano Bruschetta
- 2 Glasses Of Pepsi

Add Ons: Soup-Of-The-Day (RM2.00)

It's just nice for 2 persons based on this set and there's one more set and that's called the Ultimate Course which can be served up to 4 persons.  The choices of Pizza that we have chosen includes the Romano Chicken Pizza. The choices of Italy Pasta that we have chosen would be Pesto Chicken Spaghetti. I would say the whole meal had been very satisfying and we do enjoy the pizza there as well. The Romano Chicken Pizza is a must try as the portion is just nice and the taste was nice and tasty. The Romano Chicken Pizza contains chicken roll florets, chicken toppings, Italian Cheese, red capsicum, yellow onion, tomato pizza sauce, spinach and garlic and it will definitely makes you drool. The Pesto Chicken Spaghetti meanwhile is also a must try where it's nice and tasty too. The Pasta is then green in color and it contains Pesto Sauce Spaghetti, tender chicken, cherry tomatoes, roasted onions, chopped garlic, red capsicum, chilli flakes and chopped parsley.

 The Italian Bruschetta is also a must try as the bread is very nice especially when you dip into the salsa tomato sauce. It contains cheesy garlic bread, twin sauce: tangy tomato sauce & pesto sauce and it's served with tomato salsa. It was a fantastic and satisfying meal for both of us and we vowed to try other flavors when we visited Pizza Hut again. There's an option to add RM2 for the Soup-Of-The-Day but we did not ordered. I guess worth a try as well.

The price (including a 10% Service Charge & Government Tax of 6%) is around RM38.15 and I think the meal had been very satisfying too. I would strongly recommend you to come over to any Pizza Hut branches to try out the Taste Of Italy from Pizza Hut. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Chilli Pan Mee, Bandar Manjarala


Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had visited Chilli Pan Mee situated at Bandar Manjarala to try out their famous Chilli Pan Mee over there. We have not tried before and therefore would like to give it a try.


We reached the restaurant around 2.00pm and there are still plenty of places for us to sit. The seats are divided into 2 which is the air-conditioned and non air-conditioned. We manage to get an air-conditioned seats and then we were then served by a friendly staff over there. We browse through the menu and then have wide selection of the Pan Mee besides its famous Chilli Pan Mee such as Black Pepper, ABC Soup, Braised Pan Mee to name a few etc. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Chilli Pan Mee (RM6.00) (Small)
2.) Curry Chicken Pan Mee (RM7.00) (Big)
3.) Luncheon Meat (RM4.00) (2 pieces)
3.) Chrysanthemum Herbal Tea (RM1.50)
4.) Coca-Cola (RM2.20)

We waited for about 10 minutes and finally the food arrive. The Luncheon Meat came first and we have our very first taste of the luncheon meat. It's super and absolutely tasty and you should order this when you dine in this restaurant. The portion of the luncheon meat is average size. Meanwhile the Chilli Pan Mee arrives next and according to Kimmy, she said that it's tasty and the pan mee is really springy and nice to eat too. The Curry Chicken Pan Mee is the one I've ordered and I love the taste too as it's very tasty as well. For drinks, the taste is normal and nothing much to shout about.

The price is very reasonable and cheap too and total bill is RM20.70. We get to eat lots of food and we pay a cheap price as well. The servings is pretty average and just nice too. Most importantly is that the food we've ordered is nice and tasty. Both of us would strongly recommend you to come over here to try out their Pan Mee and hope you'll enjoy the food here as well.
