If you happen to pass by Sungai Ara area, try to look for this coffee shop called T.Y.T. It’s located at the corner and is the same row with the Fisherman Grill. There is a chicken rice stall in the coffee shop which is very nice.

The owner of the stall starts to prepare as early as 6 something in the morning. The chicken rice is selling very fast during the lunch time. If you are late, then sorry, you need to come on the next day.

The “chai boey” soup from this chicken rice stall is damn nice! You must try it!

The price is reasonable. Go and have your lunch there one day!

This is the place where we have our lunch on the 2nd day, after the Poring Hot Springs.

Kinabalu Rose Cabin.

Entrance.

Environment inside the restaurant.

Chinese Calligraphy.

This is the soup.

Sweet and sour fish.

Mix Vegetables.

Deer Meat.

The lunch was just a normal one. Not really special. It’s included in the tour package, so what do you expect?

After the dinner in Kin Hu Restaurant, Suzane suggested for some drinks. We went to the dessert shop instead.

This is the dessert shop, Mei Xin.

The interior design.

We need to write our order in the list.

My friend ordered Honey Dew Sago.

Cannot see the sago? Nah, can see already, right? But this Honey Dew Sago was not that nice, because it was not cold enough!

My another friend ordered Sea Coconut with Lemon Juice. I think the lemon juice was too much, made this dessert become too sour.

This is the one I ordered and I think it was the best among these three. It’s the Hong Dou Sa Tang Yuan, or so call Red Bean Rice Balls. The rice balls are filled with black sesame and the red bean soup was just nice.

This Mei Xin Dessert House is located near the City Hall Shopping Mall. The price for the dessert is standard rate, range from RM3 to RM6.

This is the first dinner I have during my Sabah Trip. My friend Suzane fetched me there. The restaurant is located near to the Sabah T2 Terminal Airport. Why I will go to this restaurant to have dinner? This is all because of Mei Wah. Mei Wah recommended this restaurant to me. She said the Peking Duck is very nice. Since she said so, I want to give it a try.

This is the restaurant, Kin Hu Restaurant.

Peking Duck.

It’s quite dark since I didn’t turn on the flash.

Is it better with flash?

Besides the duck, we ordered another 3 dishes. This is the Hui Guo Rou. It is pork.

Seafood Tao Fu.

Vegetable.

Fried Man Tou. The Man Tou comes in 2 different type, fried and steam.

These are all the dishes we had for dinner. Each dishes come with a big portion, we cannot finish them.

How was the food? YES, they are yummy! Good recommendation from Mei Wah. She is good in introducing nice food to me. Thanks Mei Wah!!!

More food to come for my Sabah Trip.

***********************************************************************

After viewing the food, are you feeling hungry? But, you cannot go and eat yet. You have something to do over here.

Yeah, It’s contest time! This time, I want you to guess how much I pay for this dinner. The one with the nearest answer will win a Sabah gift from me. If there are more than one with the correct answer, the first one who leave the comment will get the prize.

This post will be on top of the rest until the contest ends. The due date for this contest is 3 days from now, which is on Thursday, 17 July 2008 8.30am.

Good Luck!!

I went to Home Recipe to have my lunch before the movie starts. I forgot what movie I was going to watch on that day. Anyway, it is not so important over. Food has more priority. Hehe.

The environment for Home Recipe was not bad as you can see from the below photos.

The cutlery is inside a container, neat!

Ice Green Tea that I ordered.

I ordered Satay Chicken Rice. Normal, not really special.

Soup that comes with the rice.

Since I ordered the set lunch, I have one scoop of ice cream as my dessert. I love ice cream!!!

The set lunch costs from RM7.90 onwards, if I’m not mistaken. The food was normal but the waiting time is a little bit longer. Luckily, I still manage to go into the cinema before the movie starts.

During May, We went out for a farewell lunch to Sherene. We went to Queensbay. PM wanted to go Nandos but I prefer Secret Recipe. I won in the end. 🙂

Secret Recipe, as you know, famous for the cheese cake. I like cheese cake so much!!!

Lots of cheese cakes!!!

Oreo Cheese Cake. Not bad.

Green Tea Cheese Cake. This is very yummy. If you happen to go Secret Recipe, try to buy this one and try out.

Forgot the name of this cheese cake. I think is Cappuccino Cheese Cake if I’m not mistaken.

Yogurt Strawberry Cheese Cake. I bought a few times for this. Nice!

PM ordered this, I think is a chicken rice set. I forgot the name.

Most of us are ordering Meatballs Spaghetti. It’s very delicious! I always order this when I go to Secret Recipe. The meatballs are just fantastic!!!

Meatballs!!!!!

We are so hungry and we ate all of the cheese cake and the main course!

If you are a cheese cake lover, Secret Recipe will be the one you cannot miss! Secret Recipe is located at Prangin Mall, Gurney Plaza, Queensbay Mall and the shop lot near Sunshine Square and along Belisa Row. Am I missing any? If yes, please help me to add on. 😉

Akira date me out to have this famous Tit Pan Mee at Paya Terubong. It’s just a stall beside the road. I never been there before. According to Akira, it is very famous. You need to call and book first before you go, if not, you will need to wait for a long long time.

As usual, I need to go fetch him (Why always I go fetch him one ar?). By the time we reached, it’s already 8 something (If I’m not mistaken). Luckily Akira has called to reserve, we only waited for less than 30 minutes.

They gave us the bowl and chopstick first. When I see the chopstick, I squeeze my eyes like this >.<

I was like, Oh My God!!! Please see the below photos.

Do you see anything from the photo?

If you cannot see from the above photo, please see this photo, a clearer view. Any unusual thing you see?

Yes!!!! It was a black line on the chopstick! You know what? I use tissue and rub it and the black thing actually come out from the chopstick! Are you Oh My God now? It’s dirty!!! I cannot stand it. I went to my car and took some tissue paper and rub the chopstick until it clean!!! Marks deducted from this! No matter how delicious is your food, your cutlery must be clean all the time! This is the least expectation from me.

Akira ordered the “Zhen Zhu Fen”. I asked Akira how to say it in English. He also has no idea. I told him, it should call Pearl Powder, since Zhen Zhu is Pearl and Fen is Powder. Hahaha. I think the correct one should call Pearl Noodle. It’s exactly like the shark fin soup, just with the “lou xu fan” inside.

This is the blur blur Akira. You see him, he was so happy to have his dinner.

Here comes a clearer version of Akira. He is promoting the food. 🙂

I ordered the famous Tit Pan Mee or so call Sizzling Hot Plate Noodle. How’s the taste? Not bad to me.

It seems like we are too hungry, I ordered another Clay Pot Rice. The Clay Pot Rice was just normal. You can actually count how many “lap cheong” and chicken were there. It was so less!!!

Overall, the food was OK. You can try it out if you happen to go that area at night time. But, don’t forget to bring your own cutlery. It’s totally not hygiene!!!

P/S Akira treat me for the dinner. Thanks so much!

I went there with one of my friend from Singapore. We supposed to have the dinner at Mizi Bistro since I keep on recommending. However, we didn’t make any reservation and the seat inside the restaurant is full! They served us to the outside seat. It’s so hot on that day and we decided not to eat there.

So, we stepped into Shang Hai Ding – House of Dumpling instead.

Minced Pork La Men. Quite nice.

Of course we cannot miss this one, Xiu Long Bao!! Yummy!!

Here comes the Porcupine Bao. So cute right?

A closer view, to let you see it more clearly.

Want to know what is inside? See it yourself. It’s very nice!!! I like it.

I forgot the name for this. It’s more or less the same as “Har Kau”.

Another closer view.

We actually ordered some other food which is made by mango. Unfortunately, they came back to us saying that the item we ordered already finished. Too bad!!! =.=

Shang Hai Ding – House of Dumpling is located in the New World Park. There is another one near Queensbay. If you want to try some Chinese cuisine, you can go ahead and have it a try.

I treated my mum for lunch at JL Gourmet Cafe in Pragin Mall after a movie. I already forgot which movie we watched on that day. This lunch is the one that I owed my mum during the Mother’s Day. 🙂

If you never heard of JL Gourmet Cafe, maybe you hear before on Mizi Bistro in New World Park. Yes, JL Gourmet Cafe is actually the same as Mizi Bistro. The menu is almost the same and they have the same set lunch/dinner as well. However, JL Gourmet Cafe set is cheaper than Mizi Bistro. It’s RM19.90++ for Mizi Bistro and RM16.90 nett for JL Gourmet Cafe. The set is come with soup, drink, main course and dessert.

The Menu.

Ice Peach Tea.

Broccoli Soup. My mum ordered this.

Mushroom Soup. Mine.

It’s too yummy.

It’s a fish set. The gravy is with garlic as you can see it clearly from the photo. I forgot the exact name.

This one is a chicken set and come with a small portion of spaghetti. I forgot the name as well.

A close up view.

Coffee ice cream.

Chocolate ice cream.

The environment was not bad.

If you happen to go Prangin Mall and not sure where to have lunch or dinner, you can look for this. If I’m not mistaken, it is located on 2nd or 3rd floor. I’m not really sure on that. It is just beside the escalator.

As usual, we went to Kampung Jawa for bereakfast for the n-th time.

My friend ordered the “Pei Tan” Porridge while I ordered Hokkien+Lor Mee.

The porridge serve in a colorful way.

The Hokkien+Lor Mee is just a normal one.

My cousin came back from US and he said he wanted to have this curry mee which is located at Jalan Nanning off Jalan Seratus Tahun. Since I no need to work on one of the day, I fetched him and my mum to go there and try the curry mee out.

The boss for the curry mee. I think he is ordering his worker to do something. Hehe.

The chili on the table. You can have as much as you can.

This is the big one, costs RM3.80. It comes with prawns, as you can see. My cousin ordered this.

This is the normal one, RM3.00, without the prawns.

Besides the curry mee, there is a stall selling this.

I just ordered 2 Cai Tao Kuih. Yummy.

If you passed by that area, you can try the curry. It’s not bad to me but not really that good, if compare to others.

My breakfast for yesterday morning. I went out to Kampung Jawa to have the Hokkien Mee.

Nice?

I like pizza. Indeed, I love pizza very very much!!!

The other day, I saw the pizza post in Beverly’s Secret’s blog. It makes me think of getting the pizza. Since I have the vouchers, I go to Pizzahut on that week itself. I ordered the Hawaiian Tuna and Royal Masala. Both in large.

I got it for RM41. It supposed to be RM36 for 2 large pizza but I changed one of them to Stuff Crust. I love the cheese. 🙂

I forgot how many I have eaten. I just know I ate a lot. Although I love the pizza so much, I only have it maybe once every one or two months.

Do you love pizza like me? When is the last time you have it?

I seldom ordered char koay teow for my breakfast. It’s too oily! However, sometimes I cannot control myself and have it in the end.

This char koay teow is from the Kampung Jawa. The seller like to serve the char koay teow in one side of the plate. Sorry, the photo was not clear. I think my hand shake a bit while taking the photo.

I ordered koay teow mix with noodle. I purposely move the serving into the middle of the plate.

It costs RM3.30. It’s quite expensive! The prawns are big! Next time I must bring Akira to go with me. He didn’t eat prawns so he can give them to me! Hahaha.

Big prawns huh.
