Food Hunt: Kemaman Kopitiam, Kuantan (Version 2)


Hi All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of the Food Hunt. Today is 29th October (Friday) where we do get a chance to relax at Club Med in Cherating in conjunction with the Company Trip organized by my company TFP Solutions Berhad. I did not follow the bus as me & brother Ho Wing Onn had decided to go on a car and during lunch, we did stop over at Kuantan to enjoy our lunch and finally I've introduced Kemaman Kopitiam to my collegue Mr. Ho.

Once we reach there almost 1.00pm and the restaurant was not crowded and very less people only. Once we sat down, we were immedietely served by the waiter over there. We browse through the menu and then I've decided to try out the Nasi Dagang (RM7.80) and the Kemaman Coffee (RM3.80) while brother Ho Wing Onn ordered the same dish except the Coconut water (RM4.50). We've also ordered East Coast most popular food 'Keropok Lekor' (RM4.80) as well.

Let's go straight to the food comments. The Nasi Dagang was nice and special as it contains fish only together with the juicy curry that makes the Nasi Dagang so special and nice. I really enjoy the food but it's a bit pricey with the portion that we get as it was very small portion. Brother Ho Wing Onn also said the same thing as it was nice too. About the Kemaman Coffee, it was super nice and tasty too. For the coconut water ordered by Ho, it was rather sweet and juicy too. The Keropok Lekor that we've ordered also did not dissapoint us. It was very special and different compared to the ones selling in Kuala Lumpur. The Keropok Lekor was rather juicy as you can taste the fish flavour inside it and it was so tasty once it was accompanied with the chilli sauce.

The bill came and the price for all the food is about RM20.00++ after tax. It was not so expensive as we get to eat quite a lot of food as well but the Nasi Dagang was a bit pricey as stated earlier if we go by the portion that they gave. Overall, the food was real satisfactory and I would recommend you to try it. This restaurant is just opposite the Berjaya Megamall in Kuantan. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5; HO RATING: 5/5

Food Hunt: Look Out Point Restaurant, Langat Hill (Version 2)


Hi All,

Welcome back again to another edition of the Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had decided to go up hill to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur city. And of course, we had chosen Look Out Point Restaurant as our choices once again for dinner after almost 8 months haven't been there already.

We reach the hill around 7.15pm and of course the parking charges would be RM2.00 per entry. Besides, once we reach the restaurant, surprisingly there were not much crowd at the restaurant maybe because today it's Sunday and tomorrow is a working day. Once we sat down, the waitress immedietely brought us the menu and I've ordered Chicken Spaghetti and Hot Milo while Kimmy ordered Bratwurst Germany Sausage and a glass of Hot Soya Milk.


Let's go straight to the food comments where the Chicken Spaghetti was just average and nothing special about it. The portion was pretty small and not so attractive too. But for the Hot Milo, it was nice. I love the taste too. For Kimmy's Bratwurst Germany Sausage, it was also average. She said that the portion is very big and filling but the taste was just normal as it was not smoked nor grilled. It looks like it was only cooked and steamed only. For the Hot Soya Milk, it was totally sucks and a big failure. I guess they used the packet Hot Soya Milk and after you drank several times, you will feel 'geli' with the taste of it.

The price meanwhile was more expensive compared to last time. The total bill came and it was about RM40.00 after the tax. I basically think it's not worth it as the food that we've ordered was pretty sucks as well. Well, I would still recommend you to this place but please do not ordered the food mentioned above as per comments (except hot milo). Enjoy yourself. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 2.5/5

Food Hunt: SS20 Fish Head Noodle @ Medan Selera MBPJ Damansara Kim


Good Evening Everyone,

It's time again for some food hunt and of course, special thanks to my brother Alan Leow who introduced this place for me to try out especially for those who love Fish Head Noodles. This place is very crowded and packed during office hours lunch break as well as during weekends.

Today ME & Alan went and the place was not so crowded after all. It was about 1.30pm at that time. Once we stepped into the food court where the restaurant is located, we immedietely sat down and within seconds, the waiter came and brought us the menu. I looked at the menu and they have quite limited varieties for fish head noodles but each and every meal has its speciality. I browse through it and found it was attactive too. I've ordered Fish Paste Noodle with Milk (choices of thick, thin and 'lai' noodle but I've ordered thin noodles since thick noodle out of stock already that time). For Alan, he had ordered Fried Fish Fillet Noodle with Milk ( choices of thick, thin and 'lai' noodle and Alan had chosen 'lai' noodle). For drinks, I've ordered Cincau Ice while Alan ordered Chrysenthemum Tea Ice.

The noodles came within 5 minutes after we've ordered and the service is pretty fast as well since there's less people in the restaurant. According to Alan, you have to wait for about 30 minutes if the restaurant is packed with people during weekdays. You judge yourself. Let's go straight to the food comments. The Fish Paste Noodle with Milk was good but slighly sour on the soup but I still can accept it. The mee was nice and the portion was big. With the price of RM7.50, the price is really reasonable with the amount we get and I am satisfied with the price of the food as well as the quality of the food too. For Alan's Fried Fish Fillet Noodle with Milk (RM8.50), it was also good where the fish flesh was very fresh and nice to consume. Both of us recommend you the dish that we've ordered. For the drinks, overall it was nice too. The overall price including drinks was acceptable where it costs us about RM21.00 for 2 persons. If you are around that area, do drop by and try out this fish noodle restaurant and start to give comments on my blog too. Enjoy! :) MY RATING: 4/5 ; ALAN RATING: 4/5

Leisure: Car Service Report (Proton Saga)


Hi All,

I am back again and this time, I would like to share with you the extensive report of my Proton Saga where finally I have reached 1000KM within 2 weeks and it's time to go service. Firstly, I went to this Proton Service Centre (Wakil Proton Service Centre) in Sri Petaling and the service was fantastic too. Why I would say it's fantastic is because if you encountered any problems (like for me is the car jerking issue, they will check it out for you and not just say 'BIASALAH KERETA PROTON'.) The name of the service center is called World Car Care Sdn. Bhd. located at Sri Petaling. See address above picture. I would recommend you to this service center as they provide excellent service and in the same time you can sit at the waiting room where you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while waiting for your car service to be ready. Besides, there's a television in the waiting room as well. It was very comfortable as well.

Today in my first service, I've change a few things including Shell Helix Semi Synthetic HX7 Engine Oil (RM99.00), Fuel Injector Cleaner (RM17.80), Oil Treatment (RM19.80), Oil Filter (RM12.22), Gasket Plug Oil Drain (RM3.32) and lastly the Screenwash 300ML while the service is free for the first 10,000KM. The price is reasonable and not expensive though. Many of them commented that there's no need to change some of the mentioned above but I think it's pretty important too because to keep your car on good condition, you must do a lot of treatment. Furthermore, it's not expensive though. Well, it costs me about RM157.00 for my first service. After that, my car beginning to pickup more power and now it's running smooth for the time being. Basically the car now does not have jerking anymore and I can enjoy smooth driving as for now. I also did look at their menu of service as they provide what they have in their service package but you can customized it yourself too. It's all up to you. Enjoy and Good Luck! :)

Food Hunt: Station 1, Bandar Puteri Puchong


Hi All,

Welcome back to the next edition of the weekend food hunt and of course, I am back again where ME & Kimmy are again in hunt for great food around the Klang Valley. Today is Sunday and of course, I am at Bandar Puteri, Puchong where I send my new car to do tinting and in the same time have my brunch together with Kimmy. Alright, we arrived at Station 1 Bandar Puteri at about 12.15pm and the place was not crowded and only a few people in the cafe only.

After we sat down, we were immedietely served with the menu and once we browse through the menu, we are busy looking at what food that suits us during our brunch. Finally I've made the decision to eat Speghetti Bolognese (RM8.90) and a glass of Ice Honey Lemon (RM5.30). Kimmy ordered Hot Dog Set (RM5.90) together with Soymilk (RM3.90). Let's go straight to the food comments. The Speghetti Bolognese that I've ordered is above average and quite nice too. It's also covered with dried crab sticks too. You may give it a try on this one. The Ice Honey Lemon was just moderate because it was too sour and less honey. For Kimmy's Hot Dog Set, it was just normal and nothing's special. It's like eating inside a normal stall and even the 1901 Hotdog is better than this one. The soymilk is nice as it came within a bottle.

Overall, the price is just normal and it's average too. The bill came and it's about RM24.00++ including tax. If you are at Bandar Puteri, you may want to relax and chill out here as the food is not bad as well. It's a good place to relax. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3.5/5

Lifestyle: My New Proton Saga


Hey folks,

I am back once again and this time, I would like to welcome my new baby! Of course it's a new car and not a new girlfriend! Please do not misunderstanding. :) Of course, I have chosen Proton Saga as my choice and it seems this car is nice and grand too. I love the interior inside and outside too. The outside looks like Mercedes C class while the front part looks like Audi bodykit. The side and rear part of this car looks similiar to Vios and I can say this is Proton's most successful car in terms of the design history. I have chosen Granite Grey as my preferred colour.

So far, I have tested my car and I found out that the pickup is pretty slow maybe due to engine is still new and not smooth yet. Overall, it's comfortable to sit in. I will share with you in more detail next time about the fuel consumption. Overall, I love my new car very much and of course that to some of the forumers, who gave a lot of comments about the car and I truly appreciate that. Unfortunately due to security reasons, I am unable to review my car plate too. PM me if you wanted to buy Magnum, Toto and Pan Malaysian Pools. Haha! Only strictly for non-muslims only ok!

For those who had bought SAGA recently before I did, do also share your taught in my forum as we can share out our opinions towards this car. Last but not least, I would like to thank my salesman En. Kamal from Biogress Auto Sdn. Bhd. for helping me a lot in getting my new car. In the process, I did hit lots of problems especially in the insurance part and it had solved completely. I would also like to thank my family who also played their major part in helping to solve my insurance issues. Other than that, everything went on very smooth. Enjoy! :)

Food Hunt: Penang Recipe, 1 Utama Shopping Complex


Hello folks,

Welcome back to yet another edition of the Food Hunt where ME & Kimmy is back in action again. This week is definately a busy week for me too because I need to settle my car stuff. Well, still I cannot ignore the food hunt where I still would love to try out new food and of course introduce to you fellow visitors, who had been very loyal to surf my blog. Thanks a much for that! If you're here for the first time, I would like to welcome you and do enjoy the food hunt updates from time to time.

I am at 1 Utama and after watching movie, ME & Kimmy had decided to try out Penang Food again and this time we had chosen Penang Recipe as our choice. This is the first time we are here and without any hesitation, we will try out its specialities over here. I've ordered Nasi Lemak with Pandan Rice Curry Chicken (RM8.50) while Kimmy ordered Assam Laksa (RM6.50). For drinks, I've ordered Penang White Coffee Ice (RM2.80) and Kimmy ordered Homemade Longan Juice (RM2.50).

Let's go straight to the food comments. The Nasi Lemak with Pandan Rice Curry Chicken was just average. There's nothing special about it and it's pretty normal. The only special is the Pandan Rice and in my opinion, the rice is also just normal only. I would say Old Town Nasi Lemak is much more better. For Kimmy's Assam Laksa, it was somehow average too as the soup is a pretty sour. You need to add a lot of Prawn Paste into it to cover the sour taste. For drinks, both also just normal and nothing special about it. The price meanwhile is average as it's not too expensive nor cheap too (RM20.60 including tax). If you are there, you can try it out but I would not recommend you to try it out as there's nothing special about it. The weird thing is how they can actually get good grades from TV3's show Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan and 988 DJ as well. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

_________________________________________________________

My Comments: Welcome back to another edition of movie review where ME & Kimmy watched movie today at GSC at 1 Utama after we skipped a week of movie action. This is because I am very busy with my personal things and I do not have time to watch movie last week. This week, we have chosen a martial arts movie and it promises to be an entertaining movie to watch. Starring Donnie Yen, this movie is called Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen. This movie is totally great with of course a lot of fight as well as brutal killings and love is in the air too. The combination makes this movie a must watch too. I've receive average response on this movie and not many say it's nice. But for me it's a totally different story. Maybe some of you would have taught that this movie is similiar to previous Donnie Yen's movie IP MAN and you are absolutely right. It's pretty similiar to IP MAN but this movie is much more aggresive compared to IP MAN. The storyline doesn't run too much and of course you would have guess how the storyline goes. The only thing that I dislikes is the ending. The ending is still the same although Donnie Yen had won the battle and I guess there will be second episode as well. There are love, jokes and the most would be brutal fight and killings which makes this movie very sad at times and some might have cried. It's a 18SG movie too. I would recommend you to watch this movie as it would not dissapoints you. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Lifestyle: My Last Day @ Proton Wira

Hi All,

I would like to say BYE BYE to my beloved Proton Wira after I have bought for 5 years as a second hand user. It was a reliable car until the 3rd year where it already has many problems. The maintenance is very high every month and this is very discouraging for me to continue using the car.

I bought it for RM32,500 in 5 years back and now I have sold it for RM9,000. A buyer has purchase it and if you see this car on the road, remember it's not me now and do let me know where you saw it somewhere. Attached is some pictures for you to see and do leave me a feedback. Once again, goodbye my beloved Proton Wira.
