I first saw this ad in the newspaper sometime last month if I'm not mistaken: All You Can Eat for just RM25 per person?? Of course we have to try it out! But the idea of eating here somehow always slipped our mind every time we go out, and it was only recently we got to dine here.  Yes, I know.. shame on us for  only trying out this place now huh?  Sorry,

Just had pan mian soup for breakfast this morning, something which I hadn't had in a long time. This was at Siang Siang Pan Mian, a coffeeshop located at Damai Plaza (beside Strawberry Cake House). Not only do we like the pan mian (whether it's soup or kon lau based, and their fried wonton is also another of our favourite!), but the place is also very clean and organised. Can't say

It's that time of year again.. Ramadhan is here! And to me, Ramadhan definitely reminds me of all those yummy buka puasa buffets! And to Chef Zam fans, take note that he will be at the Square Restaurant, Novotel Kota Kinabalu in person from 23-29th July, so make sure you go on these days if you want to catch a glimpse or maybe even say hi to him! :)

An overdue post, but better post them late than never, huh? A couple of weeks ago, I received an email to sample Mummy's Moist Chocolate Cake, and since I just love chocolate cakes (especially moist ones! My fav!) I quickly replied and said that I would love to try them out!  I've also seen them in stores someplace around KK, but I just can't seem to remember where I saw it..

Yup, Salmon Skin is now back in Wojamama Japanese Restaurant's menu!  (Currently only at Lintas & 1Borneo outlets though, as their Asia City outlet is currently under renovation) "Hey everyone, as we have lots of customer request to have salmon skin back into the menu..

I don't know how I could have forgotten about this yummy fish noodle soup at Jin Jin Seafood Restaurant! I remember a couple of years back, I used to have this almost every Sunday for brunch, but for some reason, I just never got around to blogging about it! But I finally got to eat it again last week, thanks to my brother and SIL! And this time, I made sure I took a photo of it before

I got to dine at the newly renovated Wojamama Japanese Restaurant Lintas branch last night with the hubby, and I must say that I'm very impressed at the restaurant's new look!  The overall ambience is much better than before. I also love the mini cubicles (for those of you who want a bit of privacy), and just how cute is that children's corner! Their menu had been

** Reviewed this place before as well, but as usual, it was in the previous foodblog, which is now deleted :( The hubby and I just LOVE steamboat dinners, what more if they are an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet! So for our 8th Anniversary dinner, we've decided to bring my big brother and SIL along as well; the more, the merrier, right? :) Destination: Beijing BBQ Steamboat at Kg. Nelayan

After several attempts to make a trip up to Kasih Sayang Resort with the hubby (but failed because we missed the Jalan Kokol Poring-Poring junction each time!) we finally managed to drive up there yesterday!  I just love road trips! It's just oh-so fun, don't you think? :) If you're one who easily get motion sickness (like me), then you might want to prepare yourself prior the trip up

I usually cannot stand spicy food, but give me Thai food anyday, especially Tom Yum Goong, and I could finish the soup until the very last drop! Weird, isn't it? Thai Style Ngiu Chap So, it is no wonder that this version of Beef Brisket Noodles, or Ngiu Chap is one of my personal favourites: it is actually a Thai version of it! It used to be quite spicy a few years back (with cili padi inside

Deep Fried Pork Noodle or Char Nyuk Mien [RM5] which can be found at Kedai Kopi Hui Chow.  One of my absolute favourites! The soup is a must-try too; dry prawn soup! Certainly different from other coffeeshops, which is why I like it! ~~~~~~Kedai Kopi Hui ChowGround Floor, Shoplot 12 (same row as 7Eleven)Taman Fortuna Phase II, Kota Kinabalu~~~~~~

I remember back when I was still in primary school years, after attending our Church mass like Easter or Christmas Eve, my dad would always bring us whole family to have the BEST HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE IN TOWN (his exact words!) located at Wishbone Cafe in Jesselton Hotel Jalan Gaya (Gaya Street). It was quite a popular coffeehouse back then, and my parents would always bump into people they

I got to try this Tempura Ebi Kare Udon, which is basically Fried Prawn Curry Noodle at Wojamama 1Borneo the other day, and it was delish! Unfortunately, I didn't get the price for it, but not to worry; I will surely order this for myself sometime soon! If you love curry as well, then you should give this dish a try at any of the Wojamama's restaurant branches. :)

That's right! The popular branch Japan Boat Takoyaki (at Ground Floor in Wisma Merdeka) has now arrived in Karamunsing Complex, too! They officially opened their latest branch on 1st September 2011! Congrats! If you're wondering where they are located, it's at the Basement Floor, located at the back entrance of Karamunsing Complex! So what are you waiting for?? ** Apologies for the bad

Tanjung Ria Cafe & Atrium (photo from Hyatt Regency Kinabalu website) I'm sure you all have heard how amazing and popular the Buka Puasa Buffet at Tanjung Ria Cafe in Hyatt Regency Kinabalu. Some of you have even sungkai or buka puasa here every year, correct? ;) There are not only Malay dishes being served here, but you can also find Chinese, Western and North Indian dishes as well (

If you are looking for a reasonably priced restaurant for sungkai (buka puasa) at a hotel in Kota Kinabalu, then you should give The Roof Restaurant at Imperial International Hotel a try.  At only RM48 Nett for adults and RM24 Nett for children, it's an All-You-Can-Eat buffet which consists of BBQ seafood and meat, to noodles to rice, as well as desserts. And by 'Bersungkai' at The Roof

Su Ra Sang officially launched their Japanese dishes on 15th December 2010, and like their Korean dishes, their Japanese dishes were delicious as well! Seriously! I mean just by looking at

Su Ra Sang actually translates to King's Table in the Korean language, and this restaurant located on the 1st floor of the D Junction building has been operating since August 2010. What you will see as soon as you walk into the restaurant entrance door At the time we were there, the place was very quiet, but don't let this fool you; Su Ra Sang actually offers a variety of dishes

(entrance) We have always wanted to dine at Gunter's Gasthaus everytime we drive by Jalan Tuaran, and yes, we finally got to do so recently. (what you see as soon as you come in.. beautiful place, isn't it?) As it was quite late (almost 10pm) we didn't know whether they were still open or closed for the night, but we just tried our luck anyway, and were so happy that it was still open! Phew!

I realised that I've already blogged about this in my personal blog, but I feel it's more suited in this blog, since it's a food post :)Last week, my colleagues and I were invited to a company function: Sungkai at Hyatt KK! The Sungkai Buffet price isn't cheap; it's RM82++, or around RM95nett per person!  BUT... trust me, the food selection will blow you away! There are so many to choose

Wei Chuen didn't make any advance plans for our Valentine's Day this year, and in fact, he told me that since it coincides with the Chinese New Year as well, we would only be celebrating the latter. But on that day itself, he told me to get ready for a late lunch, and brought me to a surprise location, which turned out to be Bella Italia in Jesselton Hotel! There was nobody there when we
