Are you a fan of HardRock?

To a HardRock fans... whenever they travelled, they will search the internet whether there is a HardRock Cafe in the particular city... if yes~ tadaaaa


I was in New Delhi last March. And i have convinced my friend to drop by the HardRock Cafe in New Delhi. It was located inside a very posh shopping mall with Starbie, FitnessFirst and multiple international brand.

Let's go inside...

In India, it's very hard to get beef... So when we saw the menu served beef. It was paradise after 10 days of non-beef meal...


Last but not least... camwhore.. camwhore...

On having ramen in KamiKaze Ramen-ya

More and more Ramen house in Kuala Lumpur... HungryGoWhere has come out the most tasty Ramen in Klang Valley. Do you agree with the rating?

Here are the top 7 Ramen house rated by HungryGoWhere
  1. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavilion - KL
  2. Menya Musashi @ Isetan One Utama - PJ
  3. Bankara @ Avenue K - KL
  4. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit 88 - KL
  5. Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @ Pavillion - KL
  6. Bari-Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre - PJ
  7. Taiko Japanese cuisine @ Mont Kiara - KL
I have been to x out of 7. I found okay only. Some of them just cost a bomb. Which i found it normal with high price. One Ramen cost about RM25-RM40 per bowl. Expensive eh~

Anyway, I suppose to taste the so called the best Ramen in town which located in Pavillion. My friend invited to join him to taste this ramen. He gotten a voucher buy 1 free 1 ramen in Ippudo. Ended up he was on MC.

Guess what? I ended up in Kamikaze Ramen-ya in 1 Mont Kiara. Kamikaze means to make a suicidal crash attack. Doesn't sound good eh~ But the Ramen taste good and price is reasonable. So, it didn't seems KamiKaze to me.

Take a close look at the CharShio

Juicy CharShio
Half and hour later...

Burp~ Yummy
I finished all the soup and left the bowl clean... Now you can see their logo and brand name. It's yummy but unfortunately they are not in the HungryGoWhere rating list which i think they are qualify to be one of the Ramen house in the list.

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?

Touring Kuala Lumpur - Day #3

Malaysia Day was a public holiday, since my boss was around and i have volunteered to bring her around Kuala Lumpur. We have planned to cover the National Mosque, Central Market, Skybar @ 33 Traders KLCC and Din Tai Fung.

Picked up my boss at 2:30pm from the hotel and headed to the national mosque, we arrived at around 3pm and realized we have 1 hr to walked around as the visitor hour is 3pm-4pm. Nothing much to see in the National Mosque. Anyway, it was my first visit to National Mosque.

After visiting the National Mosque, our next stop was Central Market for more shopping, it was the 2nd time my boss visited Central Market. She likes the market with lots of stuff that she can negotiate and purchase. Guess what? She got what she wanted in Central Market :)

Sunset @ Skybar 33 Traders KLCC is stunning but unfortunately that day the weather reported HAZY. No stunning sunset just the nice lighting of KLCC... Sigh~ Boss has no luck to see the stunning sunset. Anyway, she will be back early next year.

We chilled at Skybar until around 8pm and left for our dinner at Din Tai Fung, Pavillion. We walked over to Pavillion via the skybridge. Reached the restaurant and waited for around 10 mins then we were being seated at a nice and cosy corners. My colleague and I have ordered the food and boss was very enjoying with the food. 

Anyway, we ended the day with a good night greeting at the hotel lobby before headed home.

Touring Kuala Lumpur - Day #2

My boss and I decided to do a half day sightseeing and have a nice seafood dinner. We actually planned to covered 2 places but we only managed to cover 1 place + a dinner. Really free and easy eh~

Royal Selangor Pewter Visitor Center 
The Royal Selangor Pewter Visitor Center is built on the extension of the existing Royal Selangor Pewter factory in Setapak. This factory produces the pewter for all the outlets around the world, as far as London, UK and Toronto, Canada. In short, the only Royal Selangor Pewter factory in the world. 

We were welcomed with the World Largest Pewter Tankard... 

World Largest 
A guide was assigned to explain the history of Royal Selangor Pewter and she brought us around the Royal Selangor Pewter... The Royal Selangor Pewter was founded by a Chinese migrant on 1885 and he settled down in Kuala Lumpur, the town with Tin. The whole session was informative and good for kids to learn about Pewter. 

As we finishing the visitor center, we don't have time to head over to the National Mosque, we ended up skipping the National Mosque and proceed to Port Klang for seafood.

Bagan Hailam
My colleague and I have chosen Bagan Hailam to have our seafood dinner.  Journey from Royal Selangor Pewter took around 1hr via DUKE and NKVE.

Bagan Hailam seafood restaurant was located at North Port of Port Klang, we ordered three dishes for 4 adult and 1 children.

  • Sweet and Sour Crab 
  • Steam Prawn
  • Assam Stingray fish


Steam Prawn
Sweet n Sour Crab

The food was yummy~ and every was so satisfied.

Before sending them back to the hotel, i brought them over to have a quick tour to see OLD KL at night... "It looks different, the building looks nice" said my boss~

It was a 1.5 days tiring tour around but it was fun to host people in my lovely metropolitan Kuala Lumpur...

Pasar Malam (Night Market)

I'm not a fan of Pasar Malam. In fact, i seldom visit Pasar Malam because of its crowded environment and whenever I walk around i will be sweating like a piggy. So, the mixture of crowd and sweat. I don't really fond of going to pasar malam.

I bet some people will sure say i discriminate Malaysian's Pasar Malam.  Guess what? The only Pasar Malam that i'm passion to walk around is in Thailand. Don't know why but i was interested to walk around in Thailand night market. Maybe more different type of merchandize they carried.

Last night, I have made a big step to shop for my dinner @ Pasar Malam near my place.

Night Market (Pasar Malam) near my place
This Pasar Malam sells different variety of goods a.k.a food, clothing, shoes, sundry, drinks etc...  Initially, I wanted to purchase the famous and yummy Char Keow Teoy but due to the long queue on waiting, I have abundant and walked over to get the popiah, ban jian kueh and Asam Laksa.

Ban Jian Kueh (Floor, sugar, peanut, corn)

On watching LIVE performance @ Alexis Ampang

My newly known friend has arranged a night out at the Alexis Ampang for a LIVE performance by Bihzhu from Penang.

We had our dinner at Alexis Ampang... Dinner was so so and to me the Alexis burger was not that great. The Fatboy, Chillis and TGIF burger is way way better than Alexis burger. I should have order their Asian food ;-)

Alexis Burger
According to my friends, the Alexis Restaurant famous for its Tiramitsu

Tiramitsu
We actually order two different cakes for our dessert to share...

Two Different Cakes for dessert

 At around 10 something, the LIVE performance started and the performer started singing all kind of songs including Reggae, American blues, Jazz and one kiddie songs Xiao Bai Chuan... The performance was very good. 

LIVE performance by Bihzhu

The performance lasted around 2 hours included the break. I managed to buy her first album and gotten her autography... There are 6 songs in total, the song i like most is the Xiao Bai Chuan.

Bihzhu's first Album
Thanks to my friend invited me to this nice LIVE performance and night out...
Here you go the Xiao Bai Chuan that i like...

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
