Pasta sauce review



  
Crab meat cream sauce from 100Yen shop Japan
Heat it
 Pour it..Done!

I cant give a "Like" as it smells "fishy" at first..taste wise..more like a carrot sauce..very bland..not recommended.


Mentaiko Pasta sauce from Shojikiya KL

Sorry it looks disgusting

Taste not bad...best use with spaghetti..could try it again..

Mince pork ramen

Noodle also got 3D??




End product

Bought this in a convenient shop in tokyo. It was a mince pork ramen. I think u must be curious how the noodle can be 3D! hahah..actually it's simple..as you can see in pic 1, the noodle is round, it's texture is quite springy...does not get soft easily..well for the soup, it's quite good except that it's too salty..perhaps adding more water would help. 7/10 points =D

Marutama ramen & Sweethut

Chocolate snow @RM9.90

Egg tart & fries (forgot the price)

Sweet Hut dessert shop is located at subang jaya SS15 . A pretty new place. Small shop, not many ppl during sunday afternoon. Good place for desserts. Pricey but a LOT of variety to choose from. Chocolate snow is very nice! Recommended!




Marutama Ramen @ Empire Subang

Used to tried Clarke Quay and Fahrenheit88 branch, both were run by japanese while this one was run by chinese. Hmm..verdict..I still dont quite like the chicken soup compare it to pork soup. It was a healthier choice though. Lotsa Negi and wakame! Btw MUST order the yaki char siu..damn yummy ok!! I will revisit for the yaki charsiu..hahhaa..actually the ramen is not too bad la..just that i'm too picky..i prefer pork based soup =D Price for a bowl of noodle about RM15-RM20..varies with ingredients..oh btw the upper bowl is the SPICY soup..don't play play..u will choke on it! That's all for today..CIAO

Hotel tips sharing

Sharing my experience of booking hotels:

Thailand
bangkok.com
phuket.com
Agoda.com
Sawadee.com

Both bangkok.com & Phuket.com are under the Asia web direct(AWD) group. Fantastic website, full of info, user friendly but.. Price a bit high. Make sure u click to the end of the booking to get the actual price! They require to pay deposit of 10%. The rest pay at hotel. They charge THB.

For agoda, price is much higher than the above. But sometimes they can offer some hotel which AWD don't. So compare before you book! Agoda charges USD, beware. Pay in advance.

For sawadee.com it's the cheapest among them. Crap website, but it offers the best price, and it's safe. No worries. Charges in THB , pay in advance.

For those "unique" hotels, book directly with hotel because usually agent has no offer. Accor group has sales once in a while, do register as member. Hotels like holiday inn, usually official rates and agent rates have no difference. Anyway , compare before you book!

Transfers:
Bangkok
From airport ,take a cab, won't cost a lot although drivers tends not to use meter. Expect about 350-450 baht.(without meter).

Airport express train, never try before. But it cost about 150baht If I'm not mistaken.

Travel around the city- bts skytrain, convenient and to avoid the jam. I don't recommend tuk tuk cuz usually they bring tourist to gem factories! Cab are plenty! Also my favourite because it's the best transportation after a long day shopping.

Travel 
Phuket

Pre-book a cab from hotel or agent . Charge around 550-650 baht. Do so to avoid airport taxi taking you to some travel agents n force u to buy with them.

Travelling around island can use a rental car, I've tried Budget car rental. Good service, free delivery one way. Cost about 1700baht/ day for a honda jazz.

Hong kong/ Macau

Asiatravel.com

My favourite website for hk/Macau
hotels, competitive rates and no deposit required! Easy to do cancellation( foc) . Charge in hkd, pay at hotel.

Websites like agoda do offer some good rates. But compare 1st! Most probably more expensive because u will only get to know the total cost after u click the confirm page.

For hk, it's very easy to travel around with MTR, u can possibly reach everywhere. Choose airport bus to/from hotel to save cost. I will recommend you to book a hotel near these airport bus station and a mtr station. My preference location would be at Kowloon area, convenient shopping n stuff.

For Macau, get a hotel with free shuttle is all you need! U can go to any place with the free shuttle transfer from the ferry terminal! From airport u can either use taxi or the free shuttle ,but it requires transfer. I prefer staying near st Paul ruins/lisboa. Convenient for shopping and casinos

Will update other countries when i have experience..Happy booking!

The vacation month

I was suppose to travel to Bangkok end of October but too bad the flood has ruined our plan :( So me n my parents change our ticket to Bali instead. We used enrich points but still hav to top up the airport tax and penalty charges.. Sien..

The trip was very "unplanned" because I've only book my hotel about 1 week before departure! Nice! The first time I was so rush in booking..booked the driver for two days.. We felt it was too much..hotel (kuta beach club) was ok but a too many mozzies around..breakfast lack variety.. Hmm...do some revisit for a few attraction and had great pork ribs at Dekuta hotel..satisfied! The whole trip was a bit odd but ok..watching tv every night at the hotel room was fine for me.. relaxing for me :) I'm still missing the pork ribs...omg...


                                                         

November 26th , flew to Phuket for my girl's trip..it was my first time being in a country with just the two of us..good and cheap shuttle send us to patong on the very 1st night...i've even directed him to our hotel..haha..im just too familiar with it...went for bangla road to have some "sight seeing" as usual..drunkards ozzies everywhere..hate it..enjoyable shoe shopping as well =D

Next day we went to the nearest mall -Jungceylon to continue our shopping...spent almost whole day there! So happy ! then we took a cab to our hotel in Kata beach (kata palm hotel)...a thai theme resort..quite pretty! Enjoy our sunset at the beach and seafood at a nearby restaurant..then it was raining like cats and dogs.. so we decided to head back and ordered room service for supper..Luv it!

Last morning we had our buffet breakfast at the hotel ,a very 'full' variety of breakfast! Yum!! We head to the beach after that!! YAY !! Cant wait to go into the water...!! A very sunny day...crowded beach..big waves...lovely!! Spend the evening doing massage and nails...our trip ended with a wonderful sunset..Enjoy spending the time with my dearest =D

Again...an outdated post...sorry for waiting..kinda busy...be back soon!

Movie & shopping

Last Sunday I was so desperate to watch breaking dawn... So I just bought a ticket and straightaway went to the cinema at 1u! Had a hard time searching for parking..mad crowd inside the mall as there were sales and Christmas events.

Was super disappointed with the Malaysian's breaking dawn! The most important two scenes were cut!!! The bed n birth scene which is the main plot of the story has been cut!!! So pissed!!!! I'm gonna get the DVD later.. Isshh***

Went to shop at uniqlo after movie.. They've just open for a month..grab some heattech shirt because it's on sale!! Only rm29.9!! Just right for my upcoming winter trip..but I wonder will the heattech really works?? Hmm..

End of my PK post.. Be back for some travel post..

Watami, Pavillion kl

Happened to dropby this shop for a late dinner after our movie session. It's a japanese casual dining restaurant. Menu was u interesting and lotsa variety. We had a hard time to choose tho! Wait staff service were ok , serving is quick unless you ordered pot dishes which required you to
'cook' urself.

We ordered tonkatsu and beef,corn rice on the stone pot. I don't really enjoy stirring the rice myself cuz it's too taxing ! My rice was too oily due to too much of butter. Tonkatsu was ok but I prefer the dry type without having eggs covering it. Unagi sushi was ok.

Verdict: affordable price, so so food, service acceptable. (might revisit)

Foodlog

Below pictures were taken at Y.E dumplings pandan jaya and Daorae taipan usj.

Y.E was an all time favourite snack shop.. Their salted chicken & century egg porridge was good, and I like them serving 算盘子,which is a Hakka delight. Their dumplings were good too! We always went for chinese tea session n enjoy the snack together.

Daorae usj was my first visit...it was a sunny day , he suggest to have Korean BBQ..we ordered two servings of pork and a spicy pork soup. Frankly speaking, after coming back from Seoul, the local Korean food just disappoint so much! If there are better Korean food here do let me know!

Free seats

其实众所周知,是没有免费这回事的。这次的机票价钱也没什么惊喜。本来我都没什么目标,但是还是三八的去看看。点知。。。巴里岛假期没便宜,改去曼谷,刚巧有大把位,所以就先斩后奏买了我们和他妈和妹的票了。价钱+++之后大概两百多,还不错啦。很顺利的luk了卡睡觉。才不用10min!

第二天在office还在手痒,在佳里八了点风,又进去click下。点知。。。seoul 才615++ 哇,很想去啊!又再联络上他,马上就订购了!十月应该可以看枫叶吧!期待!又用了很短的时间搞定了!

这次买票的心得: 其实我根本没打算消费, 但乱买了一场,纯粹是铺引!无端端又plan满了2012,又要unpaid了。。最chisin的是,我明年将重游日,韩,泰,够力没有?

努力工作吧!

Taipei taipei, subang - 2

 Went for dinner again! As usual we like to order the set meal for two, but this time we made some bad choices though. Not a fan of "nai bak" , plus the gravy taste bland, it make the dish taste worse. Secondly "ham dan tofu" was okay, but portion might be a little too big for two. The outside texture was a bit "Q", so I find it weird. Lastly saliva chicken is not to be miss!

They did some minor refurbishment, so it looks fresh to me. For our drinks, skip the vanilla drink I would suggest :)

The Hill, Bukit Damansara

So we went to this place called The Hill located at bukit damansara. Not too difficult to locate. Well first impression wasn't that well because we were being charged RM10 eventhough we park at some residential roadside! Gangster valet!! This place is not recommended for disable or elderly because there were some stairs to climb.

Ambience is pretty ok, but we were seated next to the kitchen which is not so well. Pricey food and drinks. Below we ordered Soft shell crab maki (normal), marinara (so so), green monster- lamb burger(I dun like that green paste), salmon steak(good), watermelon cocktail (din try but according to them, it doesnt taste so well.)

Revisit? No

Besides of the ambience I don't think dining is worth here.
