KL 01May13

KL Atmosphere 360
(Revolving Restaurant @ KL Tower)

Pricing : 
RM$58.60 ++ per pax for Hi tea 3:30pm-5:30pm
Rm$170.70++ per pax for dinner
Reservation can made at their website.
We go for the high tea on that day.
The food taste so so...not much variety.
There are variety of fritters.I like the banana fritters the most 
They are quickly snatched when it was top up
However the restaurant didnt top up anymore @ 4 pm++
Sandwiches not being top up @4pm++ too.
Hence I didnt get to eat any sandwich.
I would said it the worst Hitea buffet I ever had.
I guess nobody would come if not for the revolving view.
Nevertheless the price is still worth for the view....
We get a panorama of the KL skyline as we eat because it is a revolving restaurant.
Heard dinner view is awesome, will go there one day for dinner.
My bro didnt bring a good camera all the photo taken by my note 2.
Hence remember to bring a good camera to capture the awesome view

Crab Dinner @Jalan alor 
Crab is one of my favourite dishes.
We chanced this restaurant by chance few years back.

For the past few years we will patronise this restaurant when we are in KL as they served the best black pepper crab I have ever had.
The crab quality is good,succulent & big. 
This crab is not Sri Lanka crab.
The black pepper they cooked is very fragrant & yummy.
Alotof Hk Stars go there eat too.

However this time we were being conned.

I anyhow say  2 crabs should have 4 claws.

I begin to check for fun but to realise only 2 normal claws & 2 extra small claws.

Mum checked with the staff who claimed they will usually serve 1 big &1 small crab because customer complain about the price.

The staff claimed can help us order a big crab but cost RM $85, and we agreed.

The staff came back claiming the crab claw is 1 big & 1 small cos crab will have different size &  we agreed.

However when the crab is served, the size different is too ridiculous

The claws is 1 big & 1 obvious small...where got crab born like that.

My mum grow up eating seafood from young, she knew crab claws different is not much.
They are not being honest.

All of us are very unhappy.

It was pouring heavily but my mum & bro cant wait to leave the place when we finished our food.

I can now understand the feeling of those tourist being cheated in S'pore.
My mum & bro wont be coming back to this restaurant 
I m not sure because they serve the best crab I ever has for life.
Maybe will give them 1 last chance next time.

For this with extra 1 more crab , we pay RM$266.30

Madam Kwan Singapore

Madam Kwan Singapore
25May2013

Opening hours: Daily 11am-11pm

1 Harbourfront Walk, #01-152/154 VivoCity

Tel: 62719989 

I have tried the KL version.

I m quite excited to try the S'pore version when they are here.

We had : 

Nasi Bojari ($18.90)

Madam Kwan created dish of tri-coloured red-yellow-white rice with assam prawns, beef rendang and deep fried chicken drumstick. This is modified from an original Indonesia dish meant for royalty.

The deep fried chicken is nice but taste a little salty.

I didnt taste the beef as I dont take beef

Nasi Lemak ($13.90 )

Aromatic coconut steamed rice with chicken curry, sambal ikan bills, dried shrimp floss, hard boiled egg, acar and cucumber

Everything just right.

Taste the the same as in KL

Balajan Chilli taste the same as in KL 

Chendol ($4.90) 

I still prefer the Malacca version

Their services in Spore is not very satisfactory:

1)The Balajan was taken away halfway we are eating & never return

We need to ask for it back again.

2) Saw my chendol ready but the waiter & waitress just walked passed...

Some of them saw but continued to clear those left customer table.

Saw a number of dessert ready at the counter too

Finally someone ask whether do we want any dessert.

I comment" we already ordered & waited quite long"

The waiter go & check & then instruct someone to serve but still didnt serve us immediately.

Of course most of the ice already melted when it is served to us.

3) The waiter didnt clear our plates when the dessert was served. He pass the dessert to us then left quickly.
We have to stack the plates ourselves.

Saw a lot of waiter walking past us but no one clear our plate.

I waited for a while and decided to call one waiter to clear our plates.

My Verdict : 

Good food but expensive & bad service.

Cathay Pacific 

May 2013

Food: 

I would say compare to the last few trips to Hk , their food standard drop quite alot.

Breakfast (to HK)

Chicken porridge

The food is tasteless....

Dinner(return from HK)

Spaghetti

Taste so so 

Since the ice-cream is vanilla, I order a coke to make it like root beer
 2011 Meal

It taste so yummy last time

I travel on 1997 & 1998 too
Their food is so awesome & yummy...

Shopping

I would say their in flight shopping is attractive

I saw this on the way to HK & wanna get this on the way back but no more stock:( 

Hence next time just buy first to avoid disappointment.

Awesome stuff: 

Nevertheless I got this Agnes b beauty product

I hope they will improve their food in the future cos I will still choose Cathay Pacific for the flight stability,spacious seat compare to those budget flight & shopping. 

2013 HongKong Trip day 4 

Rubber duck @ Harbour City

This is limited Edition & I m glad we are here during the Giant Duck period...

Crystal jade @ Harbour City
(michelin star restaurant)

The view is good

We order : 

 wonton noodles

Very big bowl. Wonton is very big too.
Overall taste so so because I have taste better in my previous trip @ causeway bay

Xiao long bao 
I prefer Din Tai Fung version





Bye bye HK , hope to see you soon again!

Some of my Shopping Loots : 

2013 HongKong Trip day 3

Brunch : Tim Ho Wan Dim Sum Restaurant  添好運
(michelin star restaurant)
Olympian City mall(latest location)
Tim Ho Wan at Mong Kok move here

we have alotof dimsum , highly recommend these dim sum : 

Baked Bun with BBQ Pork 
I never taste this kind of BBQ pork
Powdery coating outside, inside chunks of pork swaddled in a thick and rich, sweet and savoury sauce...
It is so yummy! 

Siew Mai
I would say it the best Siew Mai I ever had in my life.

Malay steam egg cake
It taste different from the other steam egg cake I ever had in S'pore.
It fragrant & sweet but not too sweet
It also the best I have ever had

 chilled jelly with osmanthus flowers and goji berries
 This taste is very refreshing & yummy

Our bill for 2pax, I think the price is very reasonable...
It about S$30++ total bill
Personally feel only these 3 dim sum & dessert are very good.
The rest of the dim sum taste not as fantastic  etc Vermicelli rolls (cheung fun) the skin is very thick, I prefer imperial treasure in S'pore
However I will definitely be back again for the 3 special dim sum &dessert & the price too...


BIG BUDDHA
Crystal or normal cabin?

Didnt expect to queue quite long to get the cable ticket on a weekday.
It advise to go there around opening hours
We got a crystal cabin so as to avoid the long queue but actually normal cabin is faster.
I guess the crystal cabin frequency is slower than normal one.

The lady before us got normal ticket left long time ago already...

Even return also slower because of the slow frequency...

Glass bottom is just normal..nothing fantastic if you have travel before.

Glad to attend the celebration.

Total 168steps to big buddha, dare to challenge?

Didnt have the vegetarian meal as I have tried before ....taste so so but it s a good experience for those who never tried

Honeymoon Dessert@Ngong Ping 
I would say everybody must try the dessert there , it is really awesome!

Mango Pomelo & Sago Sweet Soup 杨枝甘露

Sesame & almond bean curd

Very yummy

I think it taste better than last nite dessert...

I have decided to eat again for tonight dessert if there are chances...

Citygate

Pacific coffee for high tea

Order a sandwich & coffee... i think the coffee so so 

Pacific coffee originated from HK but Starbuck & Agnes b cafe are more commonly see than pacific coffee in HK.

Shopping times!?

2nd times here, again couldnt really get any branded stuff.

Although this place is so call "outlet" but the brand here are not really cheap...

I only got 1 Armani t-shirt after much digging...

Personally feel : still can go here shopping if you are going to the big buddha or have a look at what is outlet in HK

Do not have high hope you would get any good deal here.

I think Airport branded stuff is cheaper & latest design.

I have been to Europe outlet " the space" the brand there is really good deal compare to this US brand here.

Spaghetti House nathan road

I wouldnt miss this restaurant when I here in HK since 1997

We shared 

Spaghetti with bacon , sausage & mushroom(tomato based)

It taste just as good as last time.

My hubby think this spaghetti taste better than S'pore
I bring my mum & bro here 2years ago & they also think this is the best. 

I love the environment too

Honeymoon Dessert@iSQUARE 

We manage to get a sit just outside & then long queue! even @ almost closing time 11pm! 

This place s so hot!

We order : 

1)Durian vanilla grassjelly

2)walnut & sesame

Both are yummy!How I wish I have more chance to eat their dessert again...

I have taste S'pore outlet Walnut & Sesame , Hk is still the best.
