Food Gossip -17: Jake's Charbroil Steaks & Fish & Co.

Jake's Charbroil Steaks, Damansara:

This restaurant gives us a cosy feel while enjoying the western cuisine. Initially, i ordered the lamb chop but, then i requested to change to another type of lamb coz the meat is too harsh.

On Hong Encore Concert Live in Genting Highlands

Thanks Hew for the 2 complimentary tickets for On Hong Encore Concert.

I was late to this concert. I missed the first part of the concert. In fact, i was looking forward to hear them sing their famous songs from William So, i.e. 旧爱还是最美, 男人不该让女人流泪, 爱如狂潮 and so on. But, they sang others' songs.

They also talked a lot which i was not interested with. But, a lot of fans were crazy with them especially when William walked down to the crowd. Unfortunately, i was unable to have the lucky chance. The concert didn't end with a bang. After 1 encore song, they ended with a burst of confetti.

I-Choice In Trend Seach Contest

Another auspicious event organised by I-choice, in conjunction for their online magazine launch.

Two months before the launch, they organise I-Choice In-Trend Search 2009 Charity Contest in order to raise fund. They recruited young boys and girls from colleges in klang valley. Part of the funds from the sponsorship will be contributed to Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Istimewa Insan.

There are many local artistes and celebrities came to support the event. The most eye catching are Miss Astro 2007, Miss Joanne Yew, as well as Miss Malaysia World 2008, Wincci Soo 苏盈之. They are really tall and pretty. Besides that, it also attended by Miss Chinese Cosmos International 2006, Chris Tong, Malaysia Artiste Leslie chai, MediaCorp Artiste Felicia China and so on. Here they are the winner for Top Man and Woman Category. Congrats to Paul and Michelle Fong.

K-LINK as official health and beauty supplement presenter for this occasion. My big boss asked us to help them to run the whole function. Of course, this is our pleasure.

RED SKY_ Open Air at 55th Floor Bangkok

Bangkok is a beautiful city which offers a rich experience for dining, shopping and entertainment.

This round i wanted to try something new. No more dining in the tallest building in Bangkok - Boiyoke sky which is rising 88 storey (309meter) above the bangkok skyline. In fact, i wanted to look at the tallest building from other roof top.

This is it - RED SKY Restaurant which is located at 55th floor in Centara Grand at Central World Hotel. They offer chic urban bistro dining and lounging with breathtaking alfresco vistas of Bangkok.

The weather is cooling and the night view is fantastic! The food that we ordered is definitely fresh and delicious. Frankly speaking, the price is slightly expensive! For a plate of mixed grilled seafood, it cost Bht2955 ( exl 10% service charge and VAT 7%).

I must admit that nothing is perfect in this world. After the dinner, we thought of walking around the bar to have some photo shoots, but the heavy down pour drive us to move inside the restaurant.

To go to Central World, take BTS untill Chit Lom station, and take about 10 mins walking distance.

There are other main dishes that raise our appetite!. Here they are ayam masak merah, sambal sotong and also malay and nyonya kuih.

Food Gossip- 18 : Axian DimSum

We arrived Axian Dim Sum at around 10 am, and the shop was very busy with early birds. Fortunately, we managed to get our table in less than 10 minutes later.

The food is tasty with a reasonable price.

This is my favourite steamed pao -流沙包.I guess they can sell more than 100 paos during the weekends.

Food Gossip - 16: OH! Sushi & Jack's Place

OH SUSHI!

My mum and grandma like japanese food too. We enjoyed our lunch in OH SUSHI, Mid Valley. This is not my first time, but i always give my thumbs up for the quality food and cosy ambience here.

JACK'S PLACE, 1UTAMA:

What have made Jack's Place famous? It must be the tantalising range of steaks and grills, salad, pizza, seafood and pasta. They serve the finest ingredients from US and NZ. These tender juicy steaks are top with the sauce of your choice. They offer a wide selection of fish and seafood i.e. oyster and lobster too.

Family Trip to Tanjung Sepat

This place is something new to me. My brother brought us to Tanjung Sepat. We arrived at around 3.00pm, and we all starved. First stop, we wanted to fill our stomach with a famous seafood reataurant - Baywatch. We waited 40 minutes for the meals to be served.

If you asked me about the taste, i would say: " so so only".

It took less than 30 minutes to finish our lunch, and we continued our next itinerary to the famous "pao" shop.

Can't wait to find out what is so special with the Pao here, coz most of the people spread the news that the tourists came here to buy more than 1000 paos.So excited when the time i saw the family members run the business, including preparing the raw materials, mixing the flours untill putting them into the oven.

We wanted to take away some back to KL. Unfortunately, the "pao" was sold out for those who didn't make reservations. We came all the way from KL just to taste tha famous local pao, but they will dissapppointed when they can't even taste it. At the end, after the sweet talk, the boss lets us have 3 paos. The pao taste good and not oily. Thumbs up! No wonder people came all the way just to buy the pao.

On the way back, we stopped at one of the Dragon fruits farm. First time ever, i saw the dragon fruit hang on the plant and tasted the dragon fruit blended juice.

Family Trip to Jenjarom 佛光山东禅寺

Before we go to Tanjung Sepat, my brother brought us to FGS Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom. The weather is hot. There are two lovely couples having their wedding shoots.

Normally, the temple will be lighten up with red lanterns and well decorated for special occasions ie. Lantern festival and Lunar Chinese New Year.

My mum likes to go temple, and she spent a long time inside for praying. This is because she has a long wish list to be presented to the God of Mercy. The list of people started with her five children, her siblings, her mum and so on. Even though, i didn't know what is the content, but i guess, she has a standard wish i.e. healthy and safe.

Thanks mum~~ Mum is always worry about us, but not herself.

Holiday Getaway in Awana Kijal (Kemaman)

Never thought of going to Awana Kijal until one day. Upon arrival, i understand that this resort has so much to offer.

1. The Resort.

This is where my 5-star relaxation at the No.1 resort on the East Coast starts. Before arrival, i did make some research online to compile some of the fun activities available. I personally like the big swimming pool very much.

A 22,000 sq. feet waterfall pool washes away your cares.A breathtaking scenery after the rain in the late afternoon. This picture was taken at the corridor, outside the hotel room.

2. Spa Rejuvenation at Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa:

The Spa Experience can contribute greatly to a healthier lifestyle, indulging our senses and enhancing our health by helping us relax, de-stress and have fun.

Before i start my day, i choose to rejuvenate myself with a 2 hrs Ancient Healing Spa which included wedang ( ginger tea), body scrub, massage and body mask. I like the javanese massage very much till I didn't even notice that i felt in sleep.

3. The Hot Sun

The sun kisses my whole body! His kisses can kill. So that, i have to bring out the secret weapon - sunblock to minimize the kisses on my body.

3. Lush Green

The resort is surrounded by 800 acres of the lush greenery. I lied down on the grass in order to be embraced and reconnected with nature.

Did you hear the bird sings? 4. Fun Activities.
You can hire a bicycle and cycling around the 7.6km private beach and allow the azure waves to lull with their meditative rhythm. ATV car is also available.

5. The Sand

I can't wait to leave my footsteps on the white sandy beach. This is a perfect bed for a relaxation day.

6. The Sea Water
Have you ever think of swimming naked in the sea? Maybe not in Awana Kijal...

I would just love to soak into the water.

7. The Wind

" I believe i can fly, i believe i can touch the sky.....". I really hope that i can fly like a bird, in the blue blue sky.
