Greentown Moven Peak - 3rd Visit

This is our third time to visit Greentown Moven Peak..Again, we chose the same table where we sat at the first and second time visits..

After looked through the menu, Jimmy ordered set lunch of Tradisional Al English Fish & Chips (RM14.90) which come with the soup of the day, coffee and mango pudding..And I chose set lunch of Claypot Seafood Tom Yam Soup Meehon (RM10.90) which also included the soup of the day, coffee and mango pudding..

The food are quite big portion..It is much more than enough for one person..Overall, the food is tasty and acceptable..However, their service is quite slow..We almost finished our food, the coffee is not serve yet..Finally, Jimmy have to remind them..

There are 5 % service charge and 5 % government tax for the bill..Jimmy do not like their service so we did not give them any extra tips..Hehe!!

Serai Kajang Satay...

Jimmy and I went to Serai Kajang Satay yesterday..When we arrive, the place is quite crowdy..Most of the visitors are Malays..Just both of us are Chinese..

The environment overall is simple and easy..There is a simple menu for us to order..Jimmy ordered 6 sticks of Chicken Satay (RM0.70 per stick), 3 sticks of Duck Satay (RM1 per stick), 1 Nasi Himpit (RM0.50 per piece), 1 set of Otak-Otak (RM3 for 5 pieces), Coffee Ice (RM1.80) and Apple Juice (RM2.50)..Jimmy would like to order mutton satay..Unfortunately, they are sold out..


We are served with one bowl of satay sauce and one small bowl of chili paste..Just like the original Kajang Satay..The chicken satay is quite tasty compared to others satay stall in Ipoh..For the Duck Satay, you can feel the taste of turmeric (kunyit) quite heavy..Anyway, it is delicious..Hehe!!

Both of us quite curious about the Otak-Otak because they are red in color..We have tried before for those are orange color..However, the taste is normal..For the drinks, both Coffee Ice and Apple Juice are very sweet..I could not finish my favourite Coffee Ice because I cannot stand the sweet taste..

PappaRich @ De Garden Ipoh

PappaRich - A funny restaurant name that I heard recently..What they are actually selling? I am quite curious about it..Hehe!!

Jimmy and I finally went to this restaurant to have a try..Hehe!! We bypassed this restaurant, we saw they are full house..Hehe!! However, both of us were so lucky and found a table..Hehe!! We sat outdoor which is near the entrance..The view is not bad..Hehe!!

I ordered Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang(RM8.90) and PappaCham Ice (RM4.20) whereas Jimmy took Cendol (RM4.80)..For me, the food is normal..However, they are much better than Old Town Kopitiam, Station 1 and TOS..Both of us think that the price is slightly higher..Not really value for money..Hehe!! In my opinion, it is only acceptable to visit here once in a blue moon..

Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant @ Genting Highlands...1st Anniversary Celebration

Jimmy and I were having a short trip 2D1N at Genting Highlands to celebrate our 1st Anniversary yesterday..Hehe!! We redeemed a free room staying at First World Hotel at Matta Fair Ipoh..

After arrived at First World Hotel, we have waited for almost 4 hours to check in our room..It is because there are too many visitors..A lot of kids and families as now is the school holiday..Hehe!! While waiting for checking in, Jimmy and I were taking turn to photoshoot..Hehe!! After checked in, we went to take our late lunch at McDonald..Hehe!! Then, we had a walk and photoshoot around First World Indoor Plaza..We are having a lot of fun during the walk and photoshooting..After that, we went back to hotel and had a rest..

Jimmy brought me to have our big dinner at Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant..Hehe!! I was so excited because this is my first time to visit there and same for Jimmy..Hehe!! There is a waitress standing at the entrance to take down your name and you have to wait for empty table and to be served..It is because they are full house..We can see that their business is really good..

We ordered an Abalone Set which includes 7 dishes which are BBQ sliced pork with Yam paste, Double-boiled Shark's Fin with Fish Maw and Dried Scallop, Whole fresh Abalone "Ah Yat Style" (4ppc) & Stewed
Goose Web with vegetables, Special Fried Rice in Lotus Leaf, Ah Yat Handmade Bird's Nest Egg Tart and Fresh Almond Juice..The abalone set costs RM99 per pax, usual price per pax is RM198..Jimmy would like to take a porridge for me because I am not feeling well..Porridge is more easier for digest..Unfortunately, their porridge sold out..

The waiters and waitress who working here are very efficient..Their action is fast and sharp..Once you have finished one dish, they will collect your plate within 1 minute..If your tea is finish, they will refill for you within 30 seconds..For the service, I have no objection..However, I would like to suggest if they give a smile while serving, that is perfect..Hehe!! For the meal, it is quite delicious and special..Although the portion is small, the taste is special and tasty..It is a good try here..You will get what you have paid..Hehe!!

After dinner, we had a walk at outdoor to feel the cold weather and photoshoot again..Hehe!! Around 10pm, we took a coffee at Old Town White Coffee..Their business is obviously decreased compared to March on last year..

Supposed we decided to have breakfast at First World Hotel..But the price RM26 per pax is really not reasonable..Finally, we took our breakfast at Marrybrown..Jimmy ordered Morning Shine (RM9.90) includes Nasi Lemak, Fried Chicken & Coffee and I took Mama Toast (RM8.90) includes American Breakfast and Coffee..Hehe!!

After that, we packed our luggage and checked out..We went to Chin Swee Temple to have a photoshooting session before we back to our home..Hehe!! It is really an enjoyable and relax trip..During this trip, we have learned more about photoshooting skills..Hehe!!

Jimmy, thanks for bringing me to have such a nice trip..Hehe!! Let's go through the photos of Abalone Set..Hehe!! For my photos of photoshooting session, please find at my "@bbie..graphy" blog..Hehe!!
