Makan Spots in Klang

So, most of the time I would go somewhere far far away to have an awesome meal. When I say "far", it's either somewhere in KL or further up such as Publika. And when I say "awesome meal", I mean some good food. I  love eating! 

Good food is good for the tummy! ❤

Recently, I've noticed some new eateries in Klang, some which I would recommend, some are just so-so. 

Let the listing begin.

1. Primo's cafe (Bandar Botanic, close to Domino's)

Highly talked about when it first opened. A great chill out place at night with friends for some gossip session. They have a pool table on the second floor but be prepared to smell like cigarette smoke as it's a smoking zone. Food and beverage ranging from snacks to main courses and coffee to chillers. They now added "shisha" to their menu. Both outdoor and indoor seats.

2. Juicy Bar &  Grill (Opposite of Hometown)

This is one place which not many will notice. Usually I don't too as it looked quite creepy from the exterior of the building, looked as though it's some secluded pub. I came to realize this place when one day my mom saw one of their lunch deals and decided to give it a try since we don't know where and what to eat. As the saying goes, "do not judge a book by its cover". The interior is pretty lovely and they have electronic darting machine. Food and beverage are good with reasonable price. Recommended.

3. Coffee Ink (Same row as Primo's)

One of the new buzz in Klang. This is what I called a proper coffee house which serves you beverages that's worth the money you pay for. And the most awesome part? They have crepe cakes! No need to travel all the way to Nadeje for decent crepe cakes anymore. Love the simple yet artsy interior, the place is filled with the smell of coffee and chit-chats. The bad news? They are closed on Mondays and opens only till 11pm, not a place for night owls. Recommended.

4. Tai Lei Loi Kei Pork Chop Bun (Bukit Tinggi)

First visit, too crowded, no seats available. Second visit, still crowded but there's seats available, decided to queue and try it out. So, I ordered their rice set that comes with the famous Macau pork chop together with a bowl of curry, a fried egg and a drink while my mom ordered the noodles set which includes the pork chop and a drink. Both of us ordered the milk tea. This is a self-service eatery where you queue up and make your order, then wait till your number on the receipt is up to collect your food. The pork chop is nicely marinated so it taste good, curry taste like Indian curry, milk tea was awesome but the rice and noodles were dry. The only thing that I dislike was there is no other side dishes. All you eat is the pork chop with your rice or noodles till one point you couldn't eat anymore and not because you are full but you got "jelak" with the taste. Worth for price? I would say so-so.

5. Burgerland (Bukit Tinggi)

Since the existence of Burger Lab, there were burger places popping out here and there. 

The last one that I went was Crayon Burger in SS15, where the bread are of different colors and the colors are given randomly. You can have your selection of burger patty and I must say, this place is pretty good. Taste good and there's no crazy queue as Burger Lab.

Forgotten what's the name of the burgers we ordered. 

If you want instant updates on places to eat, follow me on Instagram (:

 They have cute designs at Burgerland though.

The first time I went, they were sold out of chicken, only left with fish fillet. Then I realized, they only sell chicken and fish, no sign of beef or lamb. That was the first disappointment. Yet, it got me thinking, maybe their current products are good enough to exclude beef and lamb.

So, today I got the chance to drop by again and I ordered their Chicky Chick.
A combo of grilled chicken, fried chicken and fried egg. Added cash to get it in a set that comes with their curly fries and a drink (refillable).

 

Tadaaa!~ 

Looks yummy isn't it?

I thought so too..

As I bite the burger filled with anticipation, although I couldn't fit the whole thing..
I was actually pretty disappointed. Both of the patties, grilled and fried, were dry, VERY DRY.
I expected juicy patties since it took a while for them to serve my burger and there weren't many customers at that time. Plus, it wasn't even warm. The grilled one was actually nicely marinated if you were to eat it without the bread or else it just lost its taste and as for the fried one, eating too much makes you bored. Even KFC can do better. The fries were good but they could lessen the seasoning, it was a little salty for me.

Overall experience? 
I would prefer to travel to Subang for Crayon Burger or rather queue in line 45 minutes for Burger Lab.

Hitz Invasion WTF!~

"Catch Chester See live in the Hitz Invasion Birthday Bash 

at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus!"

I'm pretty sure that sounds familiar to all Chester See's fans and also Hitz.FM listeners (:

Been looking forward to it since CHESTER SEE IS COMING *fangirl moment* 

and the best part, entrance is FREE (;

The event starts at 6pm but being typical Malaysians, my girlfriend and I arrived fashionably late at 8pm.

Well, main reason was because I only went there for Chester and the Hitz FM crew plus I have no idea who are the other performers for that evening, so.. kinda lazy wanna go early lah.

I must say, the whole decoration of the event was AMAZING BALLS! 

Lighting was awesome!

They have these purple pinkish inflatable balls during the concert, nice touch to the heat of the event.

Some of the people got hit in the face without knowing, funny expressions. LOL

They even have MINIONS that night, so so soooooooooooo adorable!

Too bad I was watching from the Syopz area, couldn't take a close shot :(

Chester See ❤

#ChesterSeeisALWAYSsoSEXYandHOT

He really amazed me with his dressing. How could he dress like that in such a hot weather.

Oh well, a man gotta do what a man gotta do, is to have swag at all times ❤

And of course, you have to take photos to show that you enjoyed as memories right?

Pardon me for the messy hair, she clicked too early before I could tidy them :(

Le gf and moi (:

And to end this post, here's a video from Jinnyboy and Hitz 

*TIP: Chester is in it ❤

I'll continue with my Bangkok trip post in the next one.

Much loves, xoxo.

Paradise on Earth, Krabi

On the beach of Koh Phi Phi (:

Hi there! Welcome to the heaven on earth! ❤

I heard from a lot of people that Krabi is a-must-visit in Thailand for its beautiful beaches and 

a whole lot of sun tanning. 

As promised, here's my post about my recent weekaway at Thailand last August. I know it took me a while to blog about it but I had been occupied with university stuffs and was waiting for the remaining photos from my friends. So, we've been to two places in Thailand, Krabi and Bangkok. Since our first stop was Krabi, I'll do a post on it first and then I'll do another on Bangkok! (:

There are a few things that I have learnt of Krabi island: 

1. You can't visit the islands on your own, best you could do is hire a private boat 

but will still be accompanied by a tour guide.

2. Beautiful beaches? You have to take tours around to visit them but it's TOTALLY WORTH IT!

3. Lunch buffet provided by the tour agencies are yummy.

4. Every island is very commercialized but well taken care of and SUPER BEAUTIFUL.

5. You will need A LOT of SUNSCREEN to avoid sunburn.

After we landed, we grabbed a taxi to our hotel but stopped at a tour agency to purchase some tours while we are there. Day 1, we will be snorkeling and doing some kayaking around the Hong Islands. 2nd day, city tour and elephant trekking and 3rd day, snorkeling and island hopping around Koh Phi Phi (MUST visit). It was crazy on the first day as after we have arrived at the resort, we had only 5 minutes to get changed while the van was waiting for us. I'll let the pictures do justice on how beautiful the islands are.

Paradise Island

Don't know which babe is he checking out.

Crystal clear H2O

I think I've gained some arm muscles after all that kayaking.

I don't want to go home!

A bit of vain moments with the boyfie ❤

The islands were all so beautiful that I don't want to go home. I don't mind the sun tanning if I could just stay there like FOREVER, that's how amazing they are. For the city tour, we visited a few places such as the hot spring, emerald pool, Tiger Cave and the elephant trekking. We didn't get the chance to soak in the hot spring as it was raining slighty, the water wasn't that warm and we had only 30minutes but the Emerald Pool was awesome. Super, super, super clear water! And it's au naturale, how awesome is that?

My trusty travel partner (:

After all that mesmerizing water moments, we went to the Tiger Cave. Apparently the view is amazing up there, so we decided to picked up the challenge to get up there. 1237 steps to the top, seems easy isn't it?

After 200+ steps, we were like "okay lah, seems not bad lah but the steps are a little steep" but after 400+ steps, I just want to jump down from the cliff. The steps were steep and high at the same time, it was some badass workout alright. I was panting away like nobody's business while dragging my almost dying body up step by step like a snail. It was a torture! But I seen a lot of them did not give up and those that were coming down said that it'll be all worth once you reach the top. So, I continued my sadistic journey.

Once I reached the top of it, I realised what they said were true.. 

The view was amazing!

But what I looked forward most was the elephant trekking. 

The lake where they elephants take their bath

It was a great experience but that would be my last ride on an elephant because we actually seen one of the elephant caretakers whipped the elephant in front of us because the elephant did not want to move. It was so cruel that the girl that was riding on it shouted "NOOOOO!" loudly. It was really a sad scene. *sigh* So, I've decided no more elephant rides.

And after all those activities, it's always good to get back to our resort. In fact, I love the place we stayed in. The service was good, the place was quiet and chilly, and there were 3 little cute dogs. They have 3 pools, although small but we could have it all to ourselves as there weren't many guests there. I would go back to the resort if I ever visit Krabi again as it was worth the price we paid, affordable, clean and spacious.. Maleedee Bay Resort.

My view from the balcony

And of course we girls would love some massage and self-pampering time before we hit Bangkok so on our last night in Krabi, we went for a little massage and some mani pedi after a good dinner. Did I mention that pasta, spaghetti, wine, cocktails and beer are DIRT CHEAP in Krabi? 189thb for any pizza or spaghetti, 90thb for a glass of wine and 100thb for a glass of cocktail. It was so crazily cheap that we just gulped down alcohols for every dinner.

200thb for the manicure and 150thb for the pedicure

So, that sort of sums up my experience in Krabi. The images of the beautiful islands and the relaxing ambiance there are still strongly lingering in my mind, makes me want to go back there badly. Maybe some time in the future I would go back there. Some time, some day..

Much loves, xoxo.

Peace out (;

I Fell In Love..

         

 Hello! Do I looked like I had gained weight? (:

Okay.. That sounds like a dumb question to asked. The reason why I asked was because I ate like 4 meals in 6 hours! By the end of the evening, I was full till my throat! I had only a glass of juice for dinner afterwards, was too bloated to actually have another meal. Gosh!

( all meals are courtesy of my friend, his treat :p )

So, I was having a pretty rough week; exams, stress, lacking of sleep, and what not. Was pretty much looking like a real life zombie since them papers fried my brains into crispy perfection, was feeling numb throughout the week. Examinations are good intensive exercise to the brains alright.

My first exploitation of the day, Morganfield's in Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur.

This restaurant is a pretty nice place to chill for some meat and steak. Slow and relaxing ambiance with pretty chilling songs from the past. Looking through the menu, I was just looking out for one and only one thing, lamb! My forever love.. I ordered the Grilled Lamb Chop and it was PERFECTO.

Me love, lamb.

Everything about this dish was prepared and cooked into perfection; the taste, texture, my usual "medium well" and the mint sauce.. Hmmmm~~~ Kinda missed it already, LOL. So my friend ordered the Chicken Skewers and it was good. Seems like the food there is pretty decent alright. Good meal indeed and "good food is always good for the tummy", my very own quote of the day.

Moving on, we went to the Pavilion's Tokyo Street as I wanted to get the crepe as dessert. So, that was my second pit-stop, Shimino.

My second meal, om nom nom~~~

Being a mango lover, he said we must try this dessert place. Apparently this franchise is originated from Hong Kong, named Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert. So, being a glutton me, I ordered their Mango Feast which has three of their dishes in mini sizes so that I have more options to try out. 

Which one first?

From bottom: Mango + coconut cream cake,
mango cubes and tang yuan in mango juice,
and iced mango with mango cubes and coconut noodles.

I must say, not bad indeed. The desserts were not too sweet, just nice but the flavor of mango is there. Would recommend this place to all mango lovers.

Last but not least.. Moo Cow yogurt for the finale! Love love love the smooth texture with the taste of fresh milk. The sunflower seeds were a good addition but ain't really much of a fan for the dried apricot. I prefer fresh fruits anyways.

That's all for yesterday's exploitation. I have a feeling there's gonna be more for the coming weekend. Can't wait to eat! Stay tuned for more food posts soon! 

Much loves, xoxo.
