Crabby dinner @ Bagan Hailam, North Port

Friday evening - Almost everywhere is like a huge carpark in Klang Valley...

It is a challenge to travel with car from point A to point B especially from one end to another. How about from One Mont Kiara to North Port?

No exception. I was stuck for at least 1 hr after Penchala Link to Damansara Toll and from Damansara Toll to the exit of Bukit Kemunning. It was so so sooooo damn terrible. Only 10m per move.

So why TZ so determine to go for the dinner @ Bagan Hailam? He can beat the 1hr massive traffic jam to drive all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang for dinner...

Big Fresh oysters
Fried Squid

Bake Crab
Hahaha... now you know what drives TZ to drives for 2.5 hours from One Mont Kiara to Bagan Hailam, North Port (Port Klang) for this yummy seafood... So, will you drive for hours just to have food?

Visitors from Singapore

Two friends of mine from Singapore were in Kuala Lumpur last weekend. They flown in on Friday evening. I went to airport to pick them up.

Day #1 - Airport --> Moon Bar --> Friends' place

Another mutual friend of us has arranged to meet us at the Moon Bar @ Damansara Height. There was a jazz night. This bar served pork... pork burgers, roasted pork with bacon and so on... Yum Yum~
The jazz was very nice until we lost track of time and stayed until 2am in the morning... Over night at my friends' condominium.



Day #2 - Imbi road Pork Noodles --> Brew & Bread Cafe --> Klang Bak Kut Teh --> Fish Spa Master --> Mcdonalds --> Pandamaran Seafood --> Bonjour Cafe --> Friends' place

We woke up at 9 something, got ready and went over to Kota Kemuning for Imbi Road Pork Noodles. Not sure what is good about this pork noodles until so many queue up for the table. Luckily, their preparation and serving are quite swiftly.

Brew and Bread is just behind the Imbi Road Pork Noodles house which it's a good choice for a nice cup of coffee especially they served illy brand coffee. We have ordered 2 pieces of cakes (carrot and chocolate walnut) for sharing... cakes goes well with coffee eh~



Singaporean claimed Bak Kut Teh started from Singapore. This has made all my Klang friends so pissed. Anyway, no one can change the fact that Bak Kut Teh is originated from Klang. Do you see the yummy Bak Kut swimming in inside a pot of herbal soup? Tsk Tsk Tsk... I'm having a crave for Bak Kut Teh now. :(

 
First ever experience to pamper my feet for a Fish Spa @ Aeon Bukit Tinggi. In the beginning, I was so reluctant to put my feet into the water. Maybe it's a sign of fear on what would happen to my feet. Slowly after i connected with the little fishes... I felt a bit comfortable and slowly i placed my feet into the water and stay still for the fishes to have their meal.

The whole process was so ticklish and i was trying not to laugh throughout the whole session. After the spa, we dropped by McDonald for ice cream while waiting for the other friend to arrive. She was joining us for dinner



Dinner was in one of the old and famous Seafood Restaurant @ Pandamaran Port Klang. Do you see the Crab Roe? i bet you are drooling right now. We also ordered couple more seafood. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable meal as the 5 of us whom spent the Overloaded Food weekend in Malacca 1 2 gathered again in Klang for Seafood. We left Klang back to Kota Damansara after dinner since the Tong Sui at Klang required to wait for at least an hour.



My friend suggested to pay a visit to the Bonjour Cafe @ Sunway Damansara. This cafe looks porch but the service was not up to where they tried to position themselves. I'm not sure whether the coffee is nice or not as i drank tea. We were saying No Booze Just Tea! night but we ended buying the Calsburg Special Brew and went back to my friend's place to drink :p

Day #3 Batu Cave --> Yut Kee --> KLCC park --> IMAX 3D @ 1U --> Airport

Early bird got the worm... Believe it or not? We got the worm... We don't need to pay for the carpark, we managed to see the prayer in the main temple up the cave and we managed to avoid buses of tourist to Batu Cave.

All three of my friends who never visited Batu Cave. This cave was new to them. Batu Cave has welcomed its tourist with a 273 steps for climbing to the main temple ;-) Guess what? we finished the whole cave within 1.5 hrs. I learn something new and witness the offering on 8:30am at the main temple up the cave.


Yut Kee has been in KL since 1928. This is a old nanyang style cafe which served Hainanese pork chop. They are famous for its pork chop. My Singaporean friend really amaze and like the taste of the pork chop. she never tasted this kind of pork chop which is different from the western pork chop.

We are requested by the owner to share the table with 2 others customers whom we don't know each other. This is a common practice in Yut Kee Restaurant. So don't be surprise you are being asked to share. Sharing is Caring eh~

You can captured the image of the Twin Tower from different corner of KL city but do you ever go at the bottom of the twin tower and look up? So how is the view like?...

I bought the visitors to KLCC park after our breakfast. We walked about an hour and heading back to my friend's place to freshen up and heading to One Utama for Pacific Rim in IMAX 3D.


After the movie, we sat down and chill before heading to the airport. That's all folks, till then stay tune for another venture of my coming weekend. This round no more valley but it will be an island *wink

Satu makan Dua mau, Dua makan Toilet Mau

Let me translate the title of this post... of cause for those who don't understand Malay...
"Satu makan Dua Mau, Dua Makan Toilet mau" means The first one you eat, you ask for more, the more you eat you go to toilet later" I was being curse on eating too many buffet since last Friday.

Friday --> Damai Laut : BBQ Seafood Buffet by the sea
Saturday --> Chicken Rice for lunch, Duck noodles for dinner, Hotdog bun for Supper
Sunday --> Duck noodles for lunch, Dinner Tenji (Japanese Seafood buffet)
Monday --> mix rice for lunch, fried banana for snack, soup and bbq chicken wings for dinner/supper.
Tuesday --> Burger for lunch, mom's cooking for dinner.

On Tuesday night, I'm not feeling well already. I feel so bloated and feverish. I didn't go to the toilet until the next day. The first time visiting to the toilet sounds bi le ba lah and the browish, yellowish fluid type of dump out from my ass. You know what i meant eh~ Anyway, it was an uncomfortable day, i in and out the toilet for total 6 times. Luckily, i was working from home... So accessing the toilet was not a problem. :(

Finally, I recovered from the stomachache after a day of pass motion. I felt better and went to office today.

Yup! It's Oysters... he likes Oyster so much that sometime he was craving for Oysters and couldn't resist to pay a visit to YUEN.

There are lots more food which i couldn't describe all in this post... One of their signature food is BBQ Chicken Wings... in my mind interpretted the fighting for chicken wings "No Fight No BBQ Chicken Wings" ... I always have no luck :( ...

Anyway, do pay a visit to YUEN and experiencec the difference... Why i say so?


This is why i say it's a different... Before i left the place @ about 8:45pm and lots of people still queuing to enter YUEN... this is what i said the difference experience... they actually testing your patient while waiting...

Overall, YUEN is a recommended place for Steamboat buffet... but don't expect too much on the ambiance... It's very basic facilities with friendly staff... :)
