May King Lam Mee @ Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Thursday, October 30, 2014 Pooi Yee 0 Comments A⁺ a^-

We drive to Pudu to have our lunch at May King Lam Mee. This restaurant has been established since 1969 and of course the specialty here is their signature Lam Mee. Crowded and we are still waiting for our seats. While waiting, we quickly placed our order at the counter and they will arrange for our seats. Air conditioning place to dine in with other choices such as Ipoh Hor Fun, Curry Chicken Noodle, dry noodles and others .

Herbal tea

Better to take two plates of the chili sauce. Homemade chili sauces and I love the spices

Crispy fried dumpling

Ipoh hor fun..looks good. I try one sip..it was so sweet and tasty

Pork meatball soup


Overwhelming by this hearty bowl of Lam Mee .The lam mee taste so good with the thick gravy and generous condiments of prawns, chicken shreds, spring onions, beansprouts and cabbage. Great to have it with the hot chili together.	chicken shreds, prawns, minced meat, nga choi (bean sprouts) and chinese cabbage; drenched with thick flavourful gravy/broth - See more at: http://www.ivyaiwei.com/2011/12/may-king-lam-mee-jalan-pudu/#sthash.oZC7ZFO7.dpuf

Standup Comedian Show by Harith Iskander @ Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil

Wednesday, October 29, 2014 Pooi Yee 0 Comments A⁺ a^-

Managed to get through on the first day to tell a joke to LITEFM DJ one monday morning which is also our 5th anniversary date and hubby birthday on 20 Oct 2014. I recall my colleague told me this funny joke " There is 10 fish in an aquarium with 80% water level. Suddenly, one fish die and the water level become full. Do you know why? Because the other 9 fishes they cry. Second day, all the 9 fishes went missing. Where they go? They went to send their member "Naik Bukit" ( In chinese they going for memorial the died fish). I try my luck call in and I won 6 tickets to see Harith Iskander show at Bukit Jalil on 29 Oct 2014 at 8.30pm. The DJ laugh at my joke and funny enough he cannot guess what happen to the fish.

The ticket is post to my home address and reached on Monday. Very disappointing when I look at it. I have 5 seats from B1-B5 and another ticket with C16. Different row and they put in the sellotape to make it together. So which means the 6th person need to sit separately which is very ridiculous. Can't they give us the ticket in one row??

So on 29 Oct 2014, we went out early to take the Star LRT to Bukit Jalil station from Sentul Timur. Took us almost 35 minutes ride and luckily it was not raining. We walk about 8 minutes to the Stadium Putra (our first visit here) and the whole are is crowded with stalls selling food and drinks ( overpriced), peoples are queuing up for the food. There is food truck, one side selling Burger , Espressolab and mineral water Evian selling at RM 5 for a very small bottle. There are Property booth from IJM Land, and Genting Rewards. We take our time walking around and they offer us a lucky draw when we register for Genting rewards card member. All the lucky balls are the same. Soft toys or room stay at First world genting. We both get a room stay on Saturday. That's good.

We waited until 8.30pm. Traffic is bad outside and my Sister is still struggling to find a parking. Bigger crowds coming in and there are still people buying food at 8.30pm. I think this show is going to delay because of Malaysia style of always being late to any occasion. No choice but to wait for the show to start. This is managed by local people that's why. To compare the Disney show i went recently at KL Convention Centre who was handle by the Mat Salleh..They always ONTIME!!Sharp!. 8.30pm means exactly 8.30PM SHOW time

Upset and frustrating when the security guard checking our bag and does not allow drinking bottle. That is fine. I hope to buy the water inside. But they told me.those are not for sale and we are not allowed to purchase anything!! What?? Then why the people there are setting up stall and selling mineral water at RM 2?? Bad management and organizer. No cameras? YEAH people can just take their phone and take photos and videos.. so whats the point?

I found my seats and the plastic chairs is really sickening. We sat there for so long to wait for the show to start and with given ticket price at RM 128, we have to sit at the lousy plastic chairs!.All the people just started to come in at 8.45 pm. And they are finding their seats and the whole stadium is almost full with 8000 people.

So the show starts at 9.15pm. The reason is because traffic is bad ( not raining at all), the godfather is not here yet..showing us some pre recorded video to entertain the crowd. The shows are late and at 9.20pm they advertise this standup comedian show is sponsored by those companies..then come Adibah Noor on the stage who is also the MC for tonight. Then she sing a song and talking for so long..only the show start to begin with comedian Dr. Jason Leong for 20 minutes and continue by Papa CJ, India's most influential comic (Honestly, I not really understand his language and he was walking here and there..hard to concentrate on his jokes).Entertain by them for like 40 minutes. At 10.05 pm, Harith Iskander is finally here and everyone is so excited!…

Laugh all night long with his simple and funny jokes. I love the Master Chef joke and our typical Malaysian cultural. That is To know Malaysia is to LAUGH MALAYSIA!” He has been talking for almost 1 1/2 hour and still continues.. I was looking at my watch..it's already 11.00 pm and I quickly check the website through my smartphone..Oppss.. the Star LRT station is going to close at 11.25pm. We better catch the last train or else we need to take other public transport.

Very upset as we could not stay longer to wait for the show to finish and make our move for 8 minutes walking back to the station. Tiring, disappointed with this round of organizer which causes the delay. Have they think about us that we are taking public transport??

No wonder the show was late and everyone seems to be relaxing outside taking their own sweet time to go inside the stadium. They have already known and expected there are few local so called famous singers and celebrities who will be coming in late . When we are out from the stadium, I saw many nice cars parked outside with lots of bodyguards that are waiting there..

Anyway, we enjoy the show and surprisingly, there are maybe less than 10 people taking photos or videos which I can observe from my seats.

Heli Lounge Bar @ Menara KH, Sultan Ismail Kuala Lumpur

Tuesday, October 21, 2014 Pooi Yee 1 Comments A⁺ a^-

I want to give my hubby an early surprise to celebrate his birthday and also our anniversary days. Have planned three weeks ahead on what to do , where to eat and check out any near place to hang out. After our office hours, we went for a quick dinner and it was raining again. The rains stops after half an hour and we move on to Menara KH, Just located beside Raja Chulan Monorail Station (which we always pass by everyday).

This place is really cool. We can see the whole KL view at the top floor at level 34. Hubby was joking with me..We are going into INTI University building at this hour?? I said you will be surprised later on. Greeted with welcome by the staff, Heli Lounge Bar served cocktail and beer at only RM 25 nett price for drinks ordered between 6pm to 9pm. There are dress code of smart casual after 9pm onwards. Crowded as usual and everyone is waiting to go up to see the view.

The club is decorated with air craft and the whole bar is covered by curtain and black white interior.

The drinks have to ordered here and pay immediately. Then, we can bring along our drinks to the rooftop later on. We have waited for 20 minutes and the staff said there are still chances of thunderstorm and will be dangerous for customers. So we have to wait longer for their green light. Some customers starts to leave this place and I still praying and looking to the sky from the window. Hoping it will not rain again and please please I really wanna go to the rooftop level to have my first experience of seeing the night view on the helicopter landing pad of Menara KH.

After another 15 minutes, I see the customers starts to move to another side and all of them gone. I ask the staff where they went? Then, only the staff told me that we can now go two steps up to the rooftop to enjoy the view. I was so angry because, I was expecting the staff to come and tell me, they are ready now and we can move up. Bad service all I can say. I was sitting there and I have ask them few times , and they just said still need to wait, might not able to go up, another staff said they are cleaning the place. At least they told me politely or have the courtesy to inform me,,Madam, now we have clean up the place and the rooftop is safe to go up now.

Very near distance looking at KL Tower and KLCC View. No windows and we can see very clearly

Happy face of me..can view 360 degree of the city view.

Nice view after the rain

Love this photo

Seated at a very nice place. Beautiful view of the KL Tower just infront of me

Enjoyable night with hubby. Memorable quiet moments just the two of us.

Village Park Nasi lemak @ Damansara Uptown

Tuesday, October 21, 2014 Pooi Yee 0 Comments A⁺ a^-

Finally, dropping by this area to have the famous Nasi Lemak as claimed by OpenRice as top 10 place to dine in Damansara Uptown and many review on this place. Village Park Nasi Lemak is located at the corner end and the whole place is crowded. Managed to find the indoor seats with air conditioning and quickly place our order. Standard order by the crowds and some can choose from the variety of mixed rice dish at the counter..Looking at other tables all order the nasi lemak ayam goreng. Price at RM 9 for the big portion of the chicken is worth the value.

The hot rice infused with coconut milk is incredibly fragrant, with crispy anchovies and I love the spicy sambal. My thumbs up for the Ayam Goreng! Served hot, fresh and such a big portion. The chicken meat is well seasoned and fried to perfection .Each bite is very crunchy & cripsy tongue .

The demand keep coming in and the fresh chicken drumstick finished within few seconds.

Must agree that the Ayam Goreng is DELICIOUS!

Muugu Garden Bistro, Bar & Grill @ Off Jalan Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur

Monday, October 20, 2014 Pooi Yee 0 Comments A⁺ a^-

I have done few research on the website and found this deal offering 45% Off from Muugu Garden Bistro, Bar & Grill, Cash Voucher from RM30 onwards. I read good review about this place and wanted to give it a surprised to my hubby to bring him and my family and the kids of course to dine in here to celebrate his birthday. I bought two vouchers RM 30 for RM 50 Cash voucher+ RM 55 for RM 100 Cash voucher.So in total I have RM 85 cash voucher in hand. Should be enough because from the website the menu link shown fair price and still affordable for western cuisines. I make early booking and the staff is kind enough joking with me, they will provide complimentary birthday cake for the birthday boy and will even sing or play music for him.

We reached at 7.30pm, but it was raining cats and dogs. The road signage is not clear and the dark sky making us so confuse looking for this restaurant. We make few wrong turns and still looking for Jalan Jati. After few turns, the rains stops and just the right timing to bring the kids inside and found our nearest parking to the entrance. Greeted with welcome by the friendly staff, she introduce their menu and from the voucher, I can choose all the ala carte menu and the drinks.

Special bar counter serving all types of cocktails and other alcoholic drinks.

Comfortable place to dine in and we are seated at the long tables. The staff provide us complimentary water and the quiet ambiance is definitely an ideal place to dine in for romantic couples. But to us, no longer romantic moments, but to cheer up the whole restaurant with noise, laughter's and oppss..this thing always happen (cutlery falling down and this round with my boy accidentally pouring part of the cup of his sister beloved milkshake..Sigh..Always struggling but I enjoy every moments with my naughty kids.

Just to mention this, when we steps in looking for the toilet, the floor is slippery and not clean..Will be dangerous for the elderly and kids as well.

Nestled off the hustle and bustle city of Jalan Bukit Bintang, this bungalow style restaurant is really a nice place to be..

Strawberry Milkshake RM 11.95 - My girl's favourite. But the portion is just too small

Lemon Tea RM 8.95

Fillet of Salmon RM 33.95 - Pan seared freshwater salmon Served with delicate wasabi and potatoes. Appropriate portion with delicious and fresh salmon.The texture is just nice, with crispy brown sides and not overdone.

Soup of the day - RM 9.95. Healthy vegetable soups

Honey Glazed Chicken Wings (RM16.95) - Three pieces of chicken wing that are marinated with honey and the chicken meat is tender and juicy. Served with home-made chilli sauce and green salad

Chargrilled spring Chicken RM 29.95 - Best choice! Aromatic, Big serving and delicious chicken meat.The chicken thigh is marinated in golden honey glaze and slowly roasted to perfection. Served with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Fish and Chips RM 25.95 - My dad in law is satisfied with this dish. The fish is fresh, fried to crispy golden brown and well cooked . Served with generous portion on the fries, salad and tartar sauce.

We actually waited for 25 minutes for this complimentary desserts - Chocolate lava cake that is worth RM 14.95!. Presentable and the staff said they need longer preparation time. We have the patience to wait because we have no choice but to stay longer in Muugu because it rains AGAIN!. So heavy rain for third round. Such a cooling night.. No birthday song or music ..just us to sing a " Happy Birthday" song for my beloved hubby..and the kids?? They are aiming at the creamy molten chocolate lava and of course the chilled ice cream..Yummy!!

Overall, This place offer good quality of food with affordable price. Relaxing dining environment and spacious too.
