I would like to take this golden opportunity to wish my beloved Kimmy a Happy Birthday. In conjunction with her birthday, we had chosen to eat Shabu Shabu as that's her favourite too. She had decided to go to Momo Paradise, a Shabu-Shabu restaurant located at Bandar Manjarala.
We reach there around 8.15pm and there were very little people eating at the restaurant until after 9pm, where the crowd started to build up. I was wondering these people took their dinner so late and some more it's a buffet style as well. How can they sleep though later with a full stomach? Well, up for them to decided. Once we step in the restaurant, we need to pay first before we eat the buffet. It will be RM25 per person with no tax. Both of us spend bout RM50 eating and of course, we are satisifed where we can eat as much we want at the price of RM25. It would be RM12.50 per person for children.
Actually it was pretty expensive but with the environment we get, I would say it's still reasonable where we will be served on an air-conditioned environment. The soup only contains either Yin or Yang soup. The Tom Yum soup was very sour and not very nice that day. According to Kimmy, she said today's the soup was pretty dissapointed as previously she had tried before and found that the soup was very nice for Tom Yum. Well, I had a bad luck today as the soup was not nice at all! For Kimmy's 'ching tong' , it was very nice indeed compared to Tom Yum. There are lots of varieties to choose from including Clams, Prawns, Squids, Fish fillet, Sliced beef, Sliced pork, Black fungus, Seaweeds, Yong Tau foo, Scallops, Mussels, Fish balls, Pork balls, Beef balls etc. and we are satisfied with the buffet food served. Remember if you had finish your dinner, don't forget to order some desserts to eat such as ice-cream or pudding. You need to ask or else they won't served you. If you would like to try the Momo Paradise in Bandar Manjarala, you can come over and gave yourself a try. But do remember, the soup is very depending as sometimes it's nice and sometimes not. It depends. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3.5/5

I would like to wishes Kimmy Chung a blessed birthday. Today it's her birthday and of course I am very happy for her too. Today, as usual we will have a great dinner together and I hope that I could gave her the memorable birthday today. I would like to say 'I LOVE YOU' to my darling Kimmy Chung and hope she will happy always.
Evelyn A. Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a CIA officer that is identified by a defector as a Russian sleeper spy and is accused of plotting the assassination of the visiting Russian President. Her CIA superiors are quickly convinced that she is involved in an international conspiracy and make her the target of an intense hunt. Evelyn risks her own life and that of her husband to prove that someone else is the traitor.
My Comments:Me & Kimmy had decided to go for a movie, perhaps a movie day for us again where both of us are in The Curve today. Of course, the crowd awere not that much today as the Muslims are heading towards a puasa month. In the meantime, when we walked into E-Curve, Damansara, there are very little people watching movie and it's the best time for us to watch as well. We had selected Salt as our movie to watch this week as we've got several feedbacks saying that this movie is worth to watch and nice. Once we watched this movie, I was so surprise that it was definately a hit. Angelina Jolie was the girl to watch as her stunts was truly amazing and nice. In the same time, it's a bit too over for her to act in this movie as she could not die in any circumstances and then she really did a lot of stunts just like what Jackie Chan did. Overall, this movie contains almost 1 hours of real action and you will not be bored while watching this movie. Stunts, action as well as betrayal and mole is the elements that contains in this movie and it would not be bored and interesting to watch. Overall, I would recommend you to watch this movie if you have not. A great action movie with great stunts as well.MY RATING: 5/5; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
I am back again and this time, PappaRich is our next destination of Food Hunt on a lovely Saturday evening. As usual, Saturday evening is the most enjoyable one because we do not need to work on Sunday. Of course, weekends is also our best time for Food Hunt and we are back again to bring you guys the latest development of Food Hunt.
We arrived at PappaRich, Desa Aman Puri at about 7.45pm and the place looked so empty probably still early. As we arrived, I could see the waiter and waitress sitting there nothing to do and upon our arrival, we were immedietely served with the menu. It took 10 minutes for us to look at the menu to decide what to try out. Finally, mee is both of our choices here as I've ordered the PappaRich famous Curry Mee while Kimmy ordered Assam Laksa. For drinks, I've ordered Honey Lemon Tea while Kimmy ordered Ice Lemon Tea.
The curry mee is the most famous in PappaRich and I've heard many feedback that it was nice so I've decided to try it out. Now it depends on individuals see whether they like the taste of the curry or not. For me, I just moderately like it as the taste does not suit me. But for Kimmy, who tried out the curry mee said it was nice. It truly depending on your taste. The taste of the curry mee is a bit sour and plain as it's not spicy though. For the Honey Lemon Tea, it was nice and the taste was enough too. For Kimmy's Assam Laksa, she told alexleow-kimmy.com that the taste was good as she loves sour and spicy though. The soup was indeed very sour and spicyness was moderate. For me, I felt it's too sour and should have added more prawn paste and more spicy. The Ice Lemon Tea was normal and nice though.
The price was pretty expensive too. A bowl of mee costs us about RM9.50 and RM8.50 respectively and the portion was moderate. The bowl design was big but the portion was not up to the expectation. The bill came was about RM32.00 ++ including tax. If you would go for environment, of course PappaRich is better than those normal restaurants but for RM4.00 - RM5.00, you can find more better curry or assam mee than PappaRich. You judge yourself. Enjoy your day! MY RATING: 4/5; KIMMY RATING: 3.5/5

"You'll Never Walk Alone". That's the word that came out of my mouth where all Liverpool fans will never walk alone and we will be together. Today, it came to my mind where I was at Sunway Pyramid doing my shopping. Out of my expectation, I came here for windows shopping but I could not control myself and finally I have bought myself a Liverpool Home Jersey.
I have selected Al-Ikhsan as my destination to buy the jersey because it offers a very reasonable price. I bought the jersey at the price of RM234.00 and it's a promotional price compared to Adidas Concept Store or other stores, who sell the jersey at RM260.00. Futhermore, do not worry about the goods sold there because it's original and not fake items.
Will Liverpool do something about it this season to retain something or at least a cup to cheer ourselves up? Good Luck The Reds! I will always support you because You'll Never Walk Alone.
Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. It has been a long time while ME & Kimmy been looking for new food as we are busy nowadays to try out new food. But after today, me have managed to look for more food to satisfy ourselves after a busy week. We had chosen Mr. Teppanyaki at Sunway Pyramid where we've just finish watching movie.
We arrived at about 7.00pm and the restaurant is quite pack with customers. But still ,the service is very fast as once we sat down, we were immedietely served with the menu. There are a lot of varieties to choose from including Malaysian and Western Food besides Japanese Food. I've ordered Chicken Teppanyaki while Kimmy ordered Set Ikan Pari. For drinks, Kimmy ordered Jasmine Honey Tea while I've ordered Ice Lemon Tea.
The food took about 10 minutes to arrive while the restaurant is still packed and the service is great too. The Chicken Teppanyaki is above average while the soup (served together) is very good. The amount of the food is acceptable and based on the price, it's a little bit expensive though (RM11.90). The bean sprout and the chicken were quite a lot too. Kimmy's Ikan Pari (RM13.90) was not good as she do not like the taste. While I taste the Ikan Pari, it's still acceptable and above average as well because of its sambal where it's pretty spicy though. For the drinks, it was pretty good as well. You can still try out the food over here as it's not bad but I can say the price is pretty expensive through. My bill came and is about RM35.00 plus tax. MY RATING: 3.5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

Wayne Rooney put his World Cup torment behind him to set Manchester United on their way to an impressive Community Shield 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Wembley.
Although Rooney could not get his name on the scoresheet against the Double winners, it was the striker who was so out of touch in South Africa that created United's opener with a brilliant cross to set up Antonio Valencia.
New-boy Javier Hernandez marked his competitive debut with an immensely fortuitous second and, although Salomon Kalou pulled one back, Dimitar Berbatov's fine injury-time finish allowed United to collect the trophy for a record 18th time.
Together with Paul Scholes, Rooney terrorised the Chelsea defence at times during an entertaining opening period in which both sides could have claimed the lead before United eventually did.
Branislav Ivanovic came closest for Chelsea when he climbed above Serbian team-mate Nemanja Vidic to reach Florent Malouda's free-kick and angled a header towards the corner that brought a fine save out of veteran United keeper Edwin Van der Sar.
The Dutchman's inability to hold a long-range Nicolas Anelka effort earlier in the contest had led to a clear sight of goal for Salomon Kalou.
But from an acute angle, Kalou instead turned the ball back into the six-yard box, which was vacant of both United defenders and his own attackers.
United took a bit longer to get going. Yet it quickly became apparent Scholes was going to take some stopping.
Fabio Capello will not be the only England manager to lament the midfielder's retirement. Steve McClaren felt exactly the same way. But the Italian will continue to wonder what might have been if Scholes had been given longer than a couple of hours to decide on a last-minute offer to head for South Africa.
His calmness in possession and the accuracy of his passing mean, even at 35, he is very hard to subdue.
One cleverly disguised pass set Rooney up for a shot that just evaded the far post and Scholes was also the inspiration behind a Michael Owen cross that forced Ivanovic into a hurried clearance.
But it was the brilliant cross-field ball for Rooney, delivered from inside his own half that did the real damage.
Sensing there was little danger as he jogged behind his brother in ignominy, Terry offered Rooney the room with which to execute a perfect first-time cross, drilled right into the heart of Chelsea's penalty area. Only Valencia read Rooney's intentions and the Ecuador man gleefully tapped past Henrique Hilario.
It was the kind of moment that proved Rooney is right to be lauded, while at the same time leaving his World Cup performances, particularly the awful one against Algeria, totally inexplicable.
Rooney's 45-minute cameo gave way to new-boy Hernandez, whose pace alone unsettles defenders and who came so close to releasing fellow substitute Berbatov with a sublime reverse pass after initially being picked out by that man Scholes.
Everything about Hernandez's move from Mexico so far has been positive. The one fear was, rather like Diego Forlan, whose otherwise stellar career will be scarred by those 27 games he took to score for the Red Devils, the man dubbed Chicharito would take too long to get off the mark.
But the kind of goal Forlan would have killed for, a mis-hit shot that ricocheted into his face, bounced into the Chelsea net from Valencia's cross 14 minutes from time.
It was harsh on Chelsea, who had just gone close through Kalou, Michael Essien and Ashley Cole.
Kalou did eventually beat Van der Sar but a frenetic spell of attacking failed to bring further reward and Berbatov's deft lob from Nani's cross ended any hope of a comeback.
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Synopsis:
Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible - inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse; their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move.
My Comments:Everyone had been talking about this movie and probably this movie had been Hollywood's most anticipated movie yet again. Many had said this movie is a very nice movie and some of them could not accept the fact. Well, it all depends on how is your rating of this movie. Today, ME & Kimmy had went all the way to TGV Sunway Pyramid to catch this movie as it will be a great movie to watch. We had no other choice as well got the ticket late and Sunway Pyramid still have the place for us to watch. After sitting down for about 30 minutes, I was trying to figure out what this movie is try to talk about but after 1 hour, I manage to pick up and all the way till the end of this movie. Still I was figuring out whether Leonardo Di Caprio did survive or not? Hmm..this movie is talking about dream and how to create your own dream and to control other people mind in dreams. It was a rare and unusual movie that we've seen so far but Christopher Nolan had done his job by creating such a great atmosphere for us to watch. Overall, the storyline is a bit tough to understand and if possible, you need to watch for the second round to fully understand this movie perhaps. It was a tricky storyline indeed and there are many guessing lines for the patrons to guess in the cinema and this movie promises to be a different epic of the century. If you have watch The Matrix before, then this is movie is quite similiar but with a different perception. It depends on how to you rate this movie but for me, I don't quite like the movie with much of guessing and with some tricky storyline but overall it's still good to watch. You can try to go and watch this movie but make sure you did ask around first (for those of them who have watched) this movie as this may give you some clue to understand easily when you watch this movie. Enjoy!MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4.5/5
Cast: Benz Hui, Chapman To, Fiona Sit, Tien You Chui, Wong Cho-lam.
Synopsis:
A professional hit man (Chapman To) from China literally falls into the lap of a hapless nerdy screenwriter (Wong Cho Lam) and the two get close. The nerd welcomes his new friend and tells him his sad story involving a beautiful woman, naturally. She loves him but often throws tantrums and beats him up. From directors Chan Hing Kai and Janet Chun comes a comedy about one of humankind's oddest and silliest fantasies: love conquers all, complete with a devilish twist.
My Comments:On a lovely Saturday, after my dinner with Kimmy, I've decided to catch a movie with Kimmy at TGV nearby where in Kepong. We have selected TGV Metro Prima in Kepong as our cinemas for our pleasure. We have selected La Comidie Humaine. This movie is starring Hong Kong jokers including Chapman To, Wong Cho Lam and Benz Hung. I believe this 3 artist is very famous among us for those who are following Hong Kong movie and dramas. This is of course a comedy based movie and it kept you entertained most of the time. This movie was a hit among the Chinese audience as Chapman To, who were really amazed with his jokes amazed many of the patrons in the cinemas. It was a great movie to laugh for but of course the storyline was not so nice and just normal. This movie is talking about the professionalism of films that involves killers in Hong Kong and how the movie was made. It was relatively an entertaining movie to watch if you don't care so much about the storyline. A great laugh if you need the medicine. Haha! I would recommend you to watch this movie as it will enlighten your day. Have a great Laugh!MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4.5/5
Cast: Alfred Molina, Jay Baruchel, Monica Bellucci, Nicolas Cage.
Synopsis:
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" reteams the creative troika Jerry Bruckheimer, director Jon Turteltaub and Oscar winner Nicolas Cage in a tale of a powerful sorcerer living in present day New York City who must find and train his next successor. The next in line turns out to be a mild mannered 20-year old boy, who has no idea that he is a descendant of Merlin, or that his true destiny is to save the world.
My Comments:Today, ME and Kimmy had a great outings after I never met her since Saturday because she's on team building. As for today, I've also planned for shopping and I've been to 1 Utama Shopping Complex to do some shopping and in the same place, to watch movie as well. We have chosen Disney's Production, The Sorcerer's Apprentice and do expect this would be a fantasy movie. It was pretty real and it was a tale that impress me too. Science, Physics and Magic were the elements that contains in this movie where human can control a lot of moving things and can be powerful as well. It talks about the history of the sorcerer's and as they enter to the new era, things had never changed and the fight continues. It was a great movie to watch for the whole family. I would totally recommend you to watch this movie as it was a great movie. I sat there and watch so seriously as I can tell you that there are about 90 minutes of action which never been bored and it was totally acceptable. Me & Kimmy were impress by this movie and never expect this would be a great movie too. A great cast including Nicholas Cage, makes this movie a great movie to catch and it also contains romance, action and of course science fiction. Trust me! You will never regret when watching this movie.MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
