Shabu One Steamboat Buffet (All You Can Eat), Lot 10

You know at times, when we are so spoiled for options, we want barbeque, sushi, ala-carte, noodles, steamboat and so much more? I’ve to say Shabu One Steamboat Buffet, so called Steamboat Buffet offers just more than Steamboat. I think it was more of Steamboat & Buffet. Located right inside Lot 10 Mall, you surely won’t miss it.IMG_1015Giving your tummies a wide option, you get to cook your own noodles – curry or clear soup, it’s all your choice. Mee, Kuey Teow, Bee Hon, Lo Shu Fun and more, it’s all about your stomachs!IMG_1028Also, you get to have clear soup and curryish tomyam. I personally liked the clear soup more than the curryish tomyam. You get to design the soup the way you want to, by adding lobak, tomatoes and all the kinda vegetable and meat which I am not too sure the names. But I think adding tomatoes and some fish paste makes the soup really good.IMG_1016 Also, if you are a big fan of seafood, then yes, this is the place. So much of seafood you can choose from. From prawns, sotongs, squids and more!IMG_1017 Some fish paste, wanton and some balls. You know how I tweet about balls all the time when I have steamboat? The option of balls is quite the amazing – meat balls, beef balls, fish balls and more! Balls overload.IMG_1018 More seafood. You know some of the seafood, I don’t even know what it’s called. Really. I’m not a big fan of seafood. But hey, fish paste are awesome stuffs! 😀IMG_1019 Also, I’ve never seen such a wide variety of vegetable in a buffet. I can’t name them all. But I can tell you, there were over 10 types of vegetable there. And I don’t know what their names are. Really.IMG_1020 You also get pre-cooked food. From fried rice, beehoon, teppanyaki sauce chicken, meat and more. If you’re lazy (like me) to wait for the soup to boil and all, just go start eating first lah. Isn’t that quite awesome?IMG_1021 And don’t ask me what are the names of these noodles. There are too many I can’t name them. You get basically ALL kinds of noodles. And trust me, if you’re thinking of trying everything, it’s surely impossible.IMG_1022 Ohhh, if you’re a fan of Curry Fish Balls, and you think it’s tough to find it here in Malaysia? Here, at Shabu One, you can get them too.IMG_1023 Talking about vegetables, you get carrot, tomatoes, mushrooms and more. So many types of mushrooms too.IMG_1024 Being the sweet guy I am, how can I do without desserts? And they have those ice-cream popsicles. The last time I had that, was like, in primary school. Like, really.IMG_1025 See the variety of bloody meat you can get here. It’s like trying to get you to eat till you explode. And for your information, I didn’t even eat those weird looking meat down there.IMG_1026 More balls, wantan, sui gao and some lady fingers.IMG_1027 Confession: I forgot to snap the desserts freezer with loads of jelly and the sushi corner. They serve sushi too! Like, really. Now, don’t you think they should change their name? It shouldnt just be called Steamboat Buffet. But well, my point is, if you want variety, Shabu One is definitely the place to rock it at. You can really really eat all you want there. No time limit. And oh, there is a juice bar. Which has different kinds of juices and drinks. Drink as much as you like okays? No one is gonna stop you. I think the next round I want to play games on the table with drinking as punishment, here’s the place to do it. All You Can Eat at Shabu One is gonna be the place if you want variety and options! Fill your stomachs kao kao today. Also, check out I Love Discounts for a deal that is already ON. Give this place a great try! ___________________________________________________________________________ Address: T18-22.3nd Floor, Lot 10 Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Phone: +603-2145 9933 Facebook: shabu one 鼎旺

Logos Hope, World’s Largest Floating Book Fair in Port Klang

Weeks ago, I was at Logos Hope, World’s Largest Floating Book Fair. I thought it was sad enough that I had to miss the Big Bad Wolf Book fair, but well, I took this as a compensation. Not much of a reader, but well, I do read lah. But hey, I used to be forced into reading. Hence, my half-past-six English. But I realised the more I read, the more the slang creeps into my Cantonese, where it can be scary at times. Logos Hope, arrived at Port Klang. It was raining but I the weather was aweesome when we arrived there. Like, really.IMG_0879The journey was so long, that the first thing we do when we arrived at the Cruise Centre, to head to the toilet. Oh, I went with some families and friends. IMG_0880 This picture was meant for Jiahuei, and yes, I sent it all the way to the UK for her to show her some bits of my sampatness.IMG_0881 Logos Hope, parked right opposite Star Virgo ship. I can tell you how much I am tempted to get on Star Virgo, it’s gigantic and it looks really cooooool. Who wants to join me in it? =DIMG_0882 It’s rare I camwhore but I thought, its Sher Leen, and she needs the camera. It’s like, she equals camera kind. So I thought, let’s do a picture. I was just trying to “gratify” her needs of camwhoring okay? Haha.IMG_0883 I was also taken for a tour. And each of us had a tag. I was in the Germany team. I don’t know why Germany. IMG_0884 I was so hungry that snacks were just too irresistable. I bought this mega chocolate cookie. Really good stuffs yo. If it was warmed, it would also have been 10 times nicer.IMG_0885 She’s Jessica, our tour guide. Pretty friendly and nice.IMG_0886 IMG_0887 I got up to Deck 7. Quite the fun lah. I think I wanna live in there.. For A WEEK. Haha. You know I can’t stand being locked in a place kan?IMG_0888 I didn’t get to meet the captain. He’s on a break. He is quite the young. Apparently, he had a dream when he was young to be the captain of a Mission Ship. And now here he is, talk about living our dreams.IMG_0889 I can stalk people from this door. But I don’t know why an aunty turns out. Don’t ask la, okay?IMG_0890 This is the theater in the ship. Super cool I tell you. And it’s also used as a concert hall. Good lightings and looks like there were good sound systems too.IMG_0891 And after the tour, only we were allowed to head to the book fair. Not really. We got special invites, hence the tour. But hey, they’ve got a huge variety of books. Like, really a lot. From fictions to non-fictions, romance to adventure to even dictionaries. They also have CDs and DVDs for sale. Apparently, they have over 5000 books and CDs on board.IMG_0892 IMG_0893IMG_0894And since we were in Port Klang, we can’t run away from some seafood kan? So, we went for supper at this place at around 11pm. Thank goodness I don’t eat seafood. Else, I’d be sooooo the gemuk. Already am. Tell me about it. But I thought they had some delicious noodles too.IMG_0895 So, this boat is a travelling boat. I’m not too sure when it’s leaving. But I do think that this is quite an adventure. Poor people like me who have no access to Star Virgo, should at least go for this la. Haha. But yeah, if you wanna go for Star Virgo, hit me up yo! Would be more than happpy to gooo! :)

Bosphorus Turkish Cuisine, Pavilion KL

I may look big to you; but if you truly know me, I ain’t really adventurous where I go around trying food of all kinds. But I thought after some persuasions from my colleague, I thought, FINE. Let me just go your it. So, this is one-of-a-kind Turkish Restaurant located in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and has been there for around 6 years. I prolly always passed by but have never thought of going in. Like I said, I am no adventurous guy.   IMG_0811 Serving authentic Turkish cuisine, this is definitely one of the few Turkish Restaurant in Pavilion. It has a really really simple setting with some Turkish touch in it. I am a strong believer of SIMPLICITY.IMG_0812 Okay, I had the urge to write this. You can actually stalk people from inside. Sheesh. You can see hot people and things happening. 6th floor in Pavilion has quite a lot of “good stuffs”. Ask me personally what I’ve seen. 😛IMG_0813 Started the meal with a Turkish tea. It’s nothing like Chinese tea. It has a strong scent, a lil bitter but I won’t mind drinking it again. I actually love it.IMG_0810This is some kind of bread which I loved when it was being served hot. I mean, whatever served hot also best kan?IMG_0816 IMG_0817 Turkish salad. It’s different from those that I usually eat. But it’s unique.IMG_0818 I’ve to say I’m officially a fan of this soup. You know what? I’ve been eating and drinking things without knowing their names. Forgive me please big time. It’s a lil sour and not too filling. Yes, I repeat. I actually loved this. Must try.IMG_0819 Main course. I think this is some lamb and eggplant thing. Not a fan of eggplant but I think the mixture does bring out a unique taste.IMG_0820 This one. My favourite. I think it’s prolly our favourite (myself, Jeremy and Linora) It has some buns below, some lamb on top; served with some yogurt. Yes, yogurt. I did thought it was weird initially. But hey, I tried. And you know what’s the best? It’s BONELESS! I mean, by now, you should know kan? I love boneless food. I would marry someone who would take out all the bones in my meals. Just saying! 😛IMG_0821 WARNING: THIS IS ADDICTIVE. It’s big, puffy and all. Now, I feel like having one in office every single day. Like, I can work while get a bite at the same time. Kan best?IMG_0822 Desserts! I have a sweet tooth. I know it’s prolly so friggin’ fattening; but I actually had like 1 and a half of this! Not too sweet actually. But if it gets any sweeter, I think it’s gonna be so jelak-tofying.IMG_0823 This is a lil sweeter. But I am a nut-fanatic. So, it has nuts in it. So aku suka. Sweet and crunchy. It does feels like Ferraro Roche at certain bites. IMG_0827IMG_0824 I’m not gonna be too hardworking deleting pictures from my album. So, here’s a picture of Jeremy with his Turkish coffee mark. I don’t know whats with the eyes. I think he trained hard to have that Korean-looking eyes. =PIMG_0825I am no famous superstar. So here’s the people I grabbed a bite with on that Saturday afternoon.IMG_0828IMG_0829 So here you go, some authentic Turkish cuisine in Malaysia. I really think that you should at least give Turkish food a try.

Westlife Gravity Tour 2011 – Malaysia

So, I’ve been criticised for talking so much about Westlife. But hey, I grew up listening to them and their songs. I can really sing some of their songs without lyrics. So, this is like a dream come true. And more so, I Love Discounts is involved with it, I kinda had more reasons to go for it. Held on the 7th October 2011 at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, the 4 Irish boyband rocked the house in front of a crowd of over 7,600. I am 1 of the 7,600. Reached the place around 3pm to help out in some ticketings and walkabout. IMG_0788This is when the setting up was done for the Premium and Platinum guests. I thought it was fantastic. It was prolly done 20 minutes before guests started coming in? And I think they are the champions of multi-tasking. Like, really. And it was empty about an hour ago, and there you go, magic!IMG_0790 IMG_0791 I tweeted this and I want to say this again. Guys camwhore too. But just that we do it in a more stylo-milo way. Bwahahaha.IMG_0792 IMG_0793 A briefing for the I LIKE IT Crew for I Love Discounts. I might be sued for putting up pictures without their sunglasses and wig. But, yeah. Imma sure they treated you so well with their charm and sweetness.IMG_0794 Before heading out, a big group picture. They really do have style! :)IMG_0795 And they weren’t really familiar with each other, but I think they made good friends.IMG_0796 How can we not take pics without the singers right? There they go.IMG_0797 IMG_0799 IMG_0800 Entering the concert hall. With Lilian and Chin Leng. I think we had the best seats ever thanks to I LOVE DISCOUNTS. Fabulous seating. Not too far, ain’t too near.IMG_0802 We sang along to almost all 14 songs they sang that night. I admire their energy and passion in singing. It’s just toooo amazing!IMG_0803 More concert feel. Lovin’ the lightings though I thought it could have been a lil more creative. I love how they have the chemistry with each other on stage.IMG_0804 IMG_0806IMG_0809 Met up with Sarah Yang and Joseph Lam after the concert. They were on the same row on the other end. I think we are freaks. We got deaf (almost) and I (almost) can’t speak today. But I still think it was amazing!IMG_0811 IMG_0812 All in all, if you’ve missed this, I think you’ve missed out loads big time. Maybe, we can sing for you la. I don’t wanna upload the 4 videos I took. There’s just too much of my sucky voice in it that I think you shouldn’t spoil your ear drums with my horrible singing. Growing up listening to them, singing their songs have truly been an inspiration for me. Being who I am, singing at times, I realised, I’ve prolly got my vocal trainings from them.

Sumeragi Shio, Sri Petaling

Many people have said I eat too much. Okay, no. I won’t deny that but I want you to know that life’s to no good if you stop eating right? Okay, I am giving myself a thousand excuses for eating non stop and not taking a break to exercise. So, my recent spot was to Sumeragi Shio Restaurant, located at Sri Petaling; formerly known as Asatei Restaurant. It is a simple, cozy restaurant which I personally think it puts me no where in the globe. Reason being, it serves the best of both words – dim sum and sushi. I can’t seem to tell you if I were in Hong Kong or Japan. I know this picture below shows how bored I was while waiting for the food to arrive. To tell you the truth, I got a chance of an all-you-can-eat here in this restaurant. Don’t curse at me cause I know dim sum and sushi does cost a lot these days. But, here’s my point – hygiene. This restaurant was clean and well managed.IMG_0706So, while I was busy deciding on which to eat first – sushi or dim sum. I failed miserably. So, whichever came, I ate. No order, no sequence. Hot, cold apa apa jelah! Yeah, thats me lah. Why waste time thinking RIGHT?IMG_0720  And some Unagi came about. Fans of Unagi, this is good stuffs.IMG_0707 As this is an ala-carte buffet, I get to order things fresh from the pan and the oven, and the, fridge or whatever. So, this fu chuk, meaty and juicy, and they actually stuffed a lot of prawns inside. But, it came hot and crunchy. Deliciousss tau!IMG_0708 Apparently, THIS is one of the specialty. I was quite reluctant to try since it was orange in colour and it looked flippin’ weird. But, I heard it is sweet and nice. Okay, I seriously did not taste this.IMG_0709 The normal dimsums you can get it here too. Eat 1 to a hundred. It’s all paid for already kan?IMG_0710 Potato Salad. I have been called weird for being such a herbivore actually. But this is really nicely done and it is fresh. Lettuce with potato salad. The potatoes were smashed nicely and it blends really well with the vegetable.IMG_0711 This, gyoza, I actually think it caught my taste buds for a bit. The usual I ate, is usually loose and light, but this is friggin’ meaty. It feels a lil like meatball-ish. But it does has it’s own unique taste. Try it with the ginger and vinegar. I think it’s super best!IMG_0712 Katsu. You hafta order this. This is just so delicious. The meat is really tender and nice. I think it’s better than KFC, for one reason, it is boneless! I just proved again how lazy I am.IMG_0713 And more dim sums! This is really freshly done. Best.IMG_0714 This taste weird to me. If you are some adventurous food freak, please try and let me know. I can’t seem to find a word to describe it.IMG_0715 The ziao lung bao. I don’t know how to spell. But this is juicy and splashy. I splashed my colleague eating it. That shows kan?IMG_0716 Salmon Sushis.IMG_0719Chee Cheung Fun. I think the texture could be slightly lighter. Despite it all, I think it still taste good.IMG_0717This was best la I tell you. I like fried stuffs. Not like you don’t know? Fried lobak. Fresh and it has so much egg that makes it so friggin’ tasty. Must try. Must order.IMG_0718 All in all, good hangout place and a good lepak place if you want a place for an all-you-can-eat. Check out a fantastic offer coming your way to I LOVE DISCOUNTS and I am sure should not and cannot miss this. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sumeragi Shio (formerly Asatei Restaurant) Address: 105 & 107, Jalan Radin Bagus, Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur.

1st Day of Hari Raya

So, in the past 20 years of my life, Hari Raya was just a Public Holiday. I mean, the reason I look forward to it, it’s because it’s holidays. So, what do you do during Hari Raya? I don’t know if it’s because I got older, or maybe perhaps, the ads all over the place sink into me this year. And I felt a lil more of the Raya spirit. I looked forward to some Rendang and all; though I did not have any invitations. I shamelessly offered myself. Haha. Nah, just kidding. But I think it was more productive than the usual Rayas. I spent most of the days with my family being a good boy, like I always am. Went for a family war, bowling! Okay, we do that quite often, especially when we get to hang out together. But it was really fun, especially when I get to beat my brother in bowling! You know, I feel damn semangat after that! 😛 IMG_0661Taken with my iPhone LOMO App. And we had quite a simple dinner and I thought it’s pointless I blog about it. Being a Malaysian, it’s Raya, so we became a lil more Malay; where we actually went to Rasa Utara for a great dinner. I felt like a VVIP, no one was in the restaurant except us. 6 staffs to serve and cook for us. Yes, the kitchen area is visible. Here you get the Rendang with Rice. The rendang is a lil sweet but spicy. If you’re not too afraid of chilli hot, yeah, try it. I’ve to say that the rice is unique. I can’t describe la.IMG_0667This is the Mee Rebus. So, thinking about it, my dad said that Mee Rebus in Rasa Utara is a lil inconsistent. But well, he took the risk and ordered it anyway. IMG_0663 I don’t know why. I wasn’t too impress with the menu. And I went on with an ordinary choice. Fish and Chips ala Malaysia. Eh, still got the Malaysia word behind okay? I’ve to say the fish was amazing! The chips were ordinary. But the fish. Yes, very power la! So damn best!IMG_0664 This is another amazing dish. It’s a lil pricy. But I’m sure it’s good stuffs. The meat is just succulent and juicy. It’s the Rasa Utara Satay! :) The sauce is damn good too.IMG_0665 There you go, the sauce. Best tau! Mesti cuba! :)IMG_0666 All in all, I’ve heard of it’s inconsistencies but I think it’s no harm giving it a try. Good food doesn’t hurt right? And if it’s bad, just tell the world like we always do la! ____________________________________________________________________________ Address: G-12, 13, Ground Floor, West Wing Telephone: 03 – 2144 7118

Quick Post: Urbanscapes 2011

You know when I was trying to post this up, I was thinking to myself if I should defend myself for not updating this page, or should I just act like I didn’t know that it has been THAT long I’ve not updated. Fine. I decided to elaborate on how life has been. No, I ain’t whining. Life has changed a lot since I have (proudly) entered my next chapter of life; as I stepped into my 21st. Things seems “real” to me, things seems “scary” to me, end seems “near” to me. Cut the crap, things has changed. Emotions in and out. Reminiscing about the past heartaches, the past heartbreaks. I ain’t sure if it’s something I am proud of, but I now stand tall because of the things I’ve gone through in life. Though there are still a few wishes that I really hope to fulfill, or to get it; but my point is, things has been different. I’ve grown up. Cut the crap, Urbanscapes was another event I told myself I shan’t missed after going for last year’s. It is the city’s all day creative art festival. Being an artsy person, this is something that you shouldn’t missed. I got my tickets from FONGFEIKEI.IMG_0495 The huge Entrance. This was something I think it’s really amazing. It’s a role play by 3 persons in a 2 character slot featuring Kueh Jen Han, Douglas Lim and one more, I can’t remember. They call for pause as and when they wanna replace a character, and they get to change the entire plot. It’s really really funny! 😛IMG_0496 It sounded terribly wrong too! :pIMG_0497 This was from KakiSeni, it was a very cool cherograph. Something I’ve not seen, but I won’t mind seeing it again.IMG_0498 I get to admire people spraying the “i dont know what”, and these people were really creative.IMG_0499 IMG_0500 This is true Malaysian, if you are asking me What is true Malaysian? The smiles, the hope, the love, the sincerity in the picture below, you know Malaysia has hope. Different people of different colours coming together, for one common purpose. It’s cliché but it’s true.IMG_0501 IMG_0502 The picture below, I just wanted to show the amazing light weight, convenient, stylish chair. Don’t you think it’s so comfortable? It was selling at RM 25 per piece.IMG_0503 You get LIVE Bands performing, and I thought the sound was really good.IMG_0504 Some futsal game, or ping pong games?IMG_0505 IMG_0506 IMG_0507 You can get a drink, chat, lepak too! 😀IMG_0508 This is another side stage where you see more performance. Truly, Malaysia has too many hidden things and talents.IMG_0509 One amazing poet, I admire. I truly admire her bravery, her sarcasm and her heart. She has a heart with such great conviction of the future of Malaysia and what she really believes him. And what Malaysia is currently like. She was sarcastically enough to be understood by people of all there!IMG_0510 More chairs. I told you I love them! 😛IMG_0513 Some other random shots taken.IMG_0515 IMG_0516 And I really do think this is something you should not and cannot miss. Urbanscapes is an amazing place for you to express yourself through arts and music. See amazing Malaysians and their gifts and talents. I am sure we can go far.

Cows Should Fly in Malaysia – Malaysia and The Media

WARNING: This post is gonna be messy. Super messy. It’ll just be random thoughts that comes through my mind. Many things has been happening endlessly in Malaysia the past few weeks, or the past month, I’d say. But one most disappointing thing that’s within me is the way things are handled, the way things are said and of course, the way things are done. Few days back, I was reading the papers. I find those stories so amusing. I read further. To my surprise, I actually thought those news were more interesting than story books. I saw sarcastic remarks, I saw twisted fact, and more so, I saw injustice and cover-ups. And the first thought that came to my mind, “Cows Should Fly in Malaysia”. When I was reading further, I can’t even relate the things said and the things that had happened. More so, as I was surfing the net with news updates and more, I thought things like these doesn’t even tally. Another thought came, who is speaking the truth? Which story seems more believable? Reading further in the newspapers, things did not complement. Neither did they went in ONE. The above was when I was reading the case of a guy who was interrogated and who “commited suicide” apparently. Next, the big city closure which I think everyone would definitely remembered. As a 21 year old child, instead of thinking deeper, the first thought that came to my mind? Why is the government so afraid of a peaceful demonstration which was just demand for a clean and fair election. People (or more so the Media), always says that they (the Government) has NOTHING TO HIDE. Their actions did not justify what they said. That’s for sure. And to think that the nation would hate the rally for the road blocks, I kinda think that it was the other way round. This was not all. In about a week, the police asked if the nation had videos or proofs of violence and more to show. I thought the videos were obvious and I was feeling each video, each wound, each hurt. And the outcome was.. Expected. Is our Media this predictable these days? Is it the monopolised? And facing the fact, being a Media student here, makes me wonder: “Would I ever write such a piece of news in the future?”. I pondered. Am I going to go against my own conscience to write things that I strongly don’t feel and don’t believe in? Yesterday, I thought came another interesting piece of news. From this day, I might just call the newspaper, story books. A billionaire owns a “gold ship” somewhere in the world? I did not want to guess, but my mind and heart did made a conclusion. But my point is this, is Media (or newspapers, to be more accurate), a place for sarcasm, a place for bickering, a place for stories? I think it’s way more than that. With all that happening 2 weeks ago, I told myself, I’m gonna vote. And at least, my 1 vote could make a difference. People around me has been talking about, why vote? It doesn’t really matter. If 100 people thinks like you, there goes a hundred votes. Well, I think I’ve gone beyond the political parties. And I think people should too. It’s more about voting for who you think can serve you and the country. ____________________________________________________________________________ On a side note, I was disappointed with the recent grammatical errors on the newspaper. I’ve seen 1 in The Star, 2 in New Straits Times. I wonder how this journey as a Media student will take me. But if no one chooses to be the change, let me be. I mean, IF lah! If you are reading, thanks for reading my weekend rants. I’m turning an uncle soon.

Random: Long Long Roti Tissue

IMG_0416 Recently I had a meet up with my Godparent’s child, my Godbrother la in a way. So, we had supper. And we had roti tissue. I was amused and amazed with the long-ness of the roti tissue and how they actually serve it. Yes, it’s amazingly not too sweet, and I love it’s crisp. Awwwweeesomeeeeeeeeeeeee!
