Leisure: One City Mall, USJ 25, Subang, Selangor.

Hi All,

Welcome back to the first ever post for the year 2014 and we've visited a brand new mall that opens its doors in the Klang Valley yet again. This time around, we traveled to Subang and to One City located at USJ25 at Subang nearby Putra Heights.

The theme for One City would be "The Ever Happening City" which symbolizes the all in one city which consists of Garden and Skypark Concept Mall. It's still developing (as of press time) and it's 50% completed and it's schedule to be completed by half quarter of 2014.

This mall is an open concept mall where it's like a hotel style mall where it houses a huge hotel as well as shopping mall, offices, eateries, cinema and fitness center.  It's called the Skypark @ OneCity where it has 10 floors in total and from the ground to the 3rd floor would be shopping mall which from the 4th to the 9th floor would be offices and last but not least the 10th floor would be a place for you to eat and enjoy the fascinating view from the mall to areas like Puchong and Shah Alam.

I would strongly recommend you to come and visit this mall considering they are adapting a green concept and a open air mall but still there are areas which is covered by air-conditioned as well. There's a lot of things for you to shop ranging from Taiwan, Japanese and Korean fashion as well as Asian and Western Food served at the mall as well and you will never get bored trying out lots of varieties of food. Another great hangout place to go in the Klang Valley. Check out their website below and check out their concept and their current Tenants as well. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Food Hunt: Wolfgang Cafe (大野狼西餐), Kepong

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy had celebrated our Christmas Day in bizarre fashion. This time around, we had planned for a Western Food selection and we had chosen a brand new cafe that was opened recently at Kepong. Introducing the Wolfgang Cafe in Kepong. The name itself tells me about a German Restaurant but eventually when I reach there, it's a 100% fully owned Chinese boss. We reach the restaurant at about 8.00pm and we were told to wait about 45 minutes before the food arrives because the restaurant is packed.

We have decided to wait and then we browse through the menu. There's no picture / photos for us to see except the menu full of wordings only. Anyway, this is what we've ordered:

1.) Wolfgang's Chicken Chop (RM15.50)
2.) Wolfgang's Pork Rib (RM26.80)
3.) Apple Orange Juice (Large) (RM9.00)

Yes, we did wait for about 45 minutes and finally the food arrives. The portion of the food and drinks are really huge and then it's really worth the money we pay for. For your information, you can choose certain sauce of your choice including Black Pepper, Mushroom or Red Sauce). The Wolfgang's Chicken Chop (Choice of Sauce: Black Pepper) portion is huge and worth of every money we pay. It's delicious where the chicken is fresh and the sauce is awesome. For the Wolfang's Pork Rib (Choice Of Sauce: Mushroom Sauce) portion is also huge and it's worth the buck we pay too. It's super delicious and the pork meat is very tender and juicy too together with the mushroom sauce and it's was super amazing! Yummy! Finally the Apple Orange Juice in large portion is also very nice and fresh. The combination of both apple and orange is nice and perfectly suited.

My Comments: Today we went to GSC at Paradigm Mall to catch the last movie before Christmas and yes, this movie has the Christmas feel and it would definitely cheer you up during the festive season.It's a brand new movie from Disney Animation movie called Frozen. This movie talks about a princess who has special abilities to froze the entire kingdom and how she could overcome her spell and do good and bad to the kingdom. The storyline is good and there are a few elements that you would notice when you see this movie. The first element would be the theme song where there are lots of beautiful and great themes and music that was sang by the Anna (voice of Kristen Bell / Liyana Jasmay) & Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) and the songs were so wonderful and perfectly fit the movie as well. 

 

The second element would be the beautiful graphics which Disney had improved tremendously. It's recommended for you to watch in 3D format.

__________________________________________________

My Comments: It was almost the end of the year and to end the year with a bang this movie finally shows on the cinemas near you and this movie will give it's audiences a great ending to a perfect year. Yes! It's the 2nd installment of the J.R.R Tolkien books which was then transform into a great movie masterpiece by the famous movie director Peter Jackson. Introducing the movie The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug. This movie continues from the 1st installment that was shown a year ago. Starring the famous actors such as Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis and many more where this movie is set to be one of the best adventure movie of all times. This time around, this movie talks about Bilbo and the dwafts journey to Erebor Mountains to find and recapture the gold that was then stolen by the fiery dragon. 

As usual, during their journey, they met tonnes of hiccups and strange creatures that wants to stop them and the Orcs who wanted to kill them as well. The storyline was superb and brilliant and it's very well documented. I can tell you that you won't be bored while watching this movie and you will fully concentrate until the end and you've also won't feel that you have actually watch a 161 minutes movie and you want for more. Everything including the graphics, storyline and the story itself speaks a thousand words and it's simply brilliant. I couldn't have asked for more. If you've watch the Lord Of The Rings installment before, then this movie is absolutely suitable for you and the theme is almost the same. I would say that you MUST watch this movie no matter what and do stay tuned for the 3rd and final installment coming up next year. It's one of the most wanted and best movie of the year 2013. Enjoy this movie to the maximum. MY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT) ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT)
 

Leisure: 1 Utama Christmas Decorations 2013

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of the Christmas Decorations 2013 mall marathon and today ME & Kimmy had visited 1 Utama Shopping Centre as our 2nd last stop perhaps before counting down for Christmas in approximately 1 week plus. The theme for this year Christmas would be "It's Christmas...Believe!". This time around the Christmas Decorations are rather simple and nothing much can be seen. The hot air balloons are of the theme of this year Christmas Decorations where you can actually see about 4 huge air balloons hanged on top of the mall at the New Wing Concourse Area.

I would say the decorations this year is rather simple and I can see very less Christmas Trees in the mall too. The band presentation would be held at the middle of the concourse area with no barriers attached and you can take photos with those presenters as well and see them perform closely. I would still recommend you to come over here to experience the never seen before air balloons theme Christmas Decorations. Enjoy! MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

Food Hunt: Pontian Wanton Noodles House (笨珍云吞面), Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Me & Kimmy had initially visited Berjaya Times Square as part of our Christmas Decorations review and today it's crowded although it's a working day in Kuala Lumpur and a Holiday at the Selangor state. We hang out there and in the same time doing some windows shopping over there. This time around, we stopped by Pontian Wanton Noodles House to try out the famous Wanton Mee over there. We reached the restaurant at about 7.00pm and the crowd is pretty less considering the working day. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Pontian Wanton Noodle (Small) (Black Sauce + Chilli) (RM5.50)
2.) Pontian Wanton Noodle (Big) (Black Sauce + Chilli) (RM7.50)
3.) Sugar Cane With Water Chestnut (RM3.00)
4.) Coca-Cola (RM2.90)

Pontian Wanton Noodle (Black Sauce With Chilli)

It took about 8 minutes before the food arrive and it's pretty fast too. Firstly I taught that how can the Wanton Noodle so dry then after trying out I know why. It's a different style of cooking and I was amazed when I eat it. The noodle is so tender and juicy too with the spiciness added to the noodle. It was so fabulous when I taste it and it's a different kind of experience when eating Wanton Noodle. I would highly recommend you this dish no matter you order Small, Medium or Big with only a RM1.00 difference. The big portion is really huge and it's just filling for a guy like me. The small portion suits the female. You may also choose different sauce that was offered by them on the menu but for my first time I've tried out the Black Sauce + Chilli and it does not disappoint. For drinks, the Sugar Cane with Water Chestnut is also very nice too. Worth of trying. They also sell Chinese Desserts (Tong Sui) and I've heard it's nice too.

Sugar Cane with Water Chestnut

The price we pay is around RM18.90 (without Government or Service Tax) and I think the price is pretty reasonable especially when you dine in a mall like this. I would say the food quality is good and recommended to you. Do come over and try out their food. For your information, they've also have some branches in the Klang Valley including SS2, Kepong and many more. Enjoy the food. MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
