Hard Rock Hotel Penang Interior

I especially liked the lobby. They had 100% authentic music oriented merchandise/costumes on a glass display all around. Some from Elton John, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and the list goes on! Some even from those artistes dating all the waaaaay back to my parents’ era!

3rd Wedding Anniversary – Penang Hard Rock Hotel

One special privilege that Hard Rock Hotel guest got is that, when u flash you room card to the waitress, you can cut away all the queues and granted immediate access to a seat. That’s cool !!! ^_^

Rock-ed our night at Hard Rock Cafe Penang

One of the main attraction in HRC is the live rock genre band! Very rocky indeed, as they’ve rocked my night! (Gosh, sounds so wrong… hmm)
Thus my FB status that day,

Eight is the lucky number

I like this place very much. Very cozy, homy, make me feels like in home:) I also love it’s minimalist concept. Very suit for a budget traveller like me. The interior design is minimalist, surrounded by red color (also my fav color:D)

Bukit Bintang / Jalan Tengkat Tong Shin

We are having one of these tropical storms today, and so I am sitting in the reception area at Number Eight Guesthouse, which is snugly located along Tengkat Tong Shin, which is within a short walking distance from Bintang Walk.

Where the Flash like to Crash: Number Eight Guesthouse, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Designer-appointed air-con rooms for the same price as the YWCA? I’m guessing it won’t be too long before this place becomes too popular for its own good

Road To Angkor

So we decided to take a cab, which cost MYR61 for an hour- or- so drive to Number Eight Guesthouse in Jalan Tengkat Tong Shin.   The guesthouse was located right in the middle of the city, walking distance to Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor which is full of local eateries (including the famous KL Durian) and a 10-minute walk to KLCC.

Amazing Char Siew

My attempt at clearer directions: if you’re familiar with Jalan Alor (behind Bukit Bintang), this place is pretty nearby, on Tengkat Tong Shin itself. There’s a brick building somewhere opposite Number Eight Guesthouse (great place to stay, by the way)

Walk For World Pink, World Without Breast Cancer 2009

I would like to thank Jean for inviting me along to this meaningful event. This event is sponsored by Estee Lauder Companies. We were required to purchase a RM30 ticket to join but since Jean has an extra ticket, I got to join this for free. From what I know, it is limited to 1200 participants. The things that attracted me to join are: 1)Jean invited me, 2)Charity, and 3)I was told that there will be special lighting on KL Tower.

KL Tower – Walk Of World Pink 2009

On Saturday I went for the charity walk, awareness of breast cancer, organized by Estee Lauder company at KL Tower. I love pink…enjoy the photo of the event! The run started at 6.30pm, about 3.8km, which I feel it was more than that, it took me about 45mins to complete that, well the entire fasting month I didn’t exercise at all, and only manage to go for walked twice after raya, so my leg was so painful.

#3 Weird Weird Denial

Rare Wedding at KL Tower

This weekend was mightily hectic. First on a Saturday morning went for a day shooting, and I ended up myself feeling very exhausted and tired due to the insufficient sleep the previous night. That’s why on the way home, I slept until it was time for the wedding dinner to attend. Boy….. the dinner was at KL Tower. Impressive place to have your wedding dinner there and the food… hmm… nice. The view was spectacular too, if it was clearer.

KL (Tower) Revolving Restaurant

Kami terus saja naik .. tunjuk coupons dan waitress ushered us to our place – prebooked! by our angels. Table No.41 *window view*, yes! a table for two ..ambience was wonderful, with live pianist. Restaurant Seri Angkasa is 282 meter above the ground and revolving, it takes more than an hour to make one round and you can see different scenarios while seated and eating. It was a real experience to see KL under your feet at nite .. dilangit bintang berkelipan .. tengok bawah lampu2 berkilauan – spectacular!!

Kuala Lumpur Tower ‘Comes Alive’

That is true, Kuala Lumpur Tower stands proudly as the symbol of Kuala Lumpur, “Garden City of Lights” and doubles as the city’s best known ambassador.

Without wasting anymore time, I cheekily jumped to the next question. “Are you lonely up here?” KLT was quick in his reply.
“Should I? Look here; do you think I’m lonely with so many tourists from all over the world coming to visit me every day?” I guessed not and I looked defeated! It was silly of me to have asked.

“Let me take you on a walking tour,” KLT insisted. “As you can see, there are many activities going on here. There’s the Flying Fox Park where you could literally “fly in the air”. This adventure is not for people who are afraid of heights,” KLT reminded me.

Yesterday, 20 September 2008, was the 11th Anniversary of the TiRatana Charity. A dinner, which was graced by more than 1,000 donors, was held at the Desa Water Park to celebrate the occasion. The guests of honour were His Excellency, the Ambassador of Sri Lanka, and his wife. Also present were YB Teresa Kok, MP for Seputeh, YB Loh Gwo Burne, MP for Kelana Jaya, and myself.

Paintball Match at Desa Water Park

Once again, I woke up from my mobile ringing feeling a little bit hung over from last night at Karma. I was told that my ride was coming in half an hour’s time. I got ready and at 11.00, there I was in Alison, Sri Petaling having my breakfast with Arnold. I was trying to get tips from a veteran player for the paintball game later.

I have played once at Bukit Jalil but am excited of the different maps in store. The place is called TAG at Taman Desa Waterpark.

Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Balls @ Jonker Street, Melaka

Hoe Kee’s Hainan Chicken is definitely more tender, with smooth slippery skin and better presented if compared to Chung Hwa’s. I found the taste to be quite distinctive in a good way too, different from the usual chicken rice we eat in Penang or KL and Ipoh’s bean sprouts chicken.

Malacca Foods: Baba Cendul and Ice Kacang

They are so many Cendul Shops along Jonker Walk and I read from floggers that Jonker 88 – The Museam Cafe and The No 1 Kopitiam are the best.

I tried the Jonker 88 shop and this seems to be very popular with long queue. I came here around 11.30am and my intention is try the nyonya cendul. Too full for the Nyonya Assam Laksa.

#3 lunaticg banknote & coin

Jonker Street Melaka

I can not see any Malacca hotel along Jonker Street. Maybe because my eyes a bit busy looking at antique and souvenir on display in shop houses along this street. Most of the shops in here are selling tin coins from Melaka coinage. The only problem for me is that the price ain’t that cheap. Most of the shop selling price is double then what I can get from other places in Malaysia. It sound a bit ridiculous for collector like me but this is a place for tourist, most probably the seller just want to take extra profit. Almost any antique shop in Malaysia will be selling their item a bit higher then market price. Make sure you knew how much is the market price for your item before you’re buying from any antique shop or you will need a laser eye surgery after buying from those antique shop because of the high price tag.

#4 Ah Kwong & Friends

Night Market, Jonker Street, Malacca

I’m missing that time when i vacation at Malacca, unlike now i’m not happy at all. Back to Malacca trip story, we walked to Jonker Street night market after visit A Famosa. It’s already 7pm that time, i felt hungry and actually i ate a lot of foods that night. After meet with Sogua and his friends, then we start to walk this night market. I heard it’s nice & totally no pirated CD/DVD sold there.

Jonker Street night market just like petaling street night market. A lot of food’s, Souvenirs, cookies, Coffee, Dim Sum, Fruit Candy Stick, Laksa & etc. Wow, i just like eat crazy that night.

#5 Demoments

Eating at Jonker Street, Melaka

This shop is famous for their soft pork slice (flour coated) cook in Bakuteh’s soup. Instead of serving with claypot, the dish is served individually with yam rice. You can opt for just pork slice or have your soup mix with intestines. Per serving is Rm5 (they add your bakuteh soup generously when you ask for soup refill) and each bowl yam rice is Rm1. Although it is crowded, I see that most patrons are local (good that it’s not discovered yet…*nyek…nyek…nyek*)

Since it was a Public Holiday, Jonker Street was very crowded. Not wanting to look for a side parking at the roadside, we went to a paying parking lot and walked to Hotel Puri (since QQ wanted to see where Yue Niang lives – place where Little Nyonya drama series was filmed).

It is really a beautiful hotel comprise of 3 long houses where the middle house was demolished and converted into an open air garden / restaurant.

On Exploring Jonker Walk and Eating Satay Celup

The wait was long, definitely much longer than what I endured when I tried eating Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice and IKEA Meatballs. I was getting a bit impatient but I could not bear leaving the line when we were already waiting for a good 20 minutes.

Finally, after around half an hour of waiting, we were finally ushered into a table. I was at first disappointed with what I saw because it was very dirty inside the restaurant. The floor was somehow wet and dirty with lots of used tissue papers scattered around. People who were done eating were smoking, added to the fact that it was hot and noisy inside. Needless to say, I try not to let it bother me.

#7 BlurryLeos

Trip to Malacca – Going around Malacca town

When one is in Malacca, one should get the authentic nyonya pineapple tarts. It’s one of the authentic Malacca delicacy.

There is this shop named LW which specialised in the pineapple tarts. The shop is located along Jonker Street.

When you reach the shop, you’ll be greeted by a giant pineapple tart placed right in front of the shop.

Personally, I prefer the tarts from this shop as the taste is much better compared to others. But again, when it comes to taste, it’s very much depending on personal preference

#8 My Trips

Jonker Walk Night Market, Malacca (Melaka)-(CNY 2008 Trips)

Strange but common here! It’s karaoke session on the stage, senior audiences and fans surround the stage…….most of the oldies was perform that night.

And this is my favorite cafe : Geographer Cafe. This is the first time I visit this cafe during night time and it’s full until I can’t even squeeze in!

We spend our night there until midnight, my daughter was so happy with her new toys but totally exhausted!
We love the atmosphere around this street and will visit again in the future.

#9 The Gastronomic Diary

Jonker Walk

I’ll just post some pictures of my favourite night market by far, Jonker Walk in Jalan Hang Jebat, Melaka. Enjoy!

Tokinado, with fillings (kaya, red bean, peanut butter or chocolate) sandwiched between what looks like two pancake cakes

Tok-tok tong. The “ting ting tok tok” sound drew a lot of curious passer-by’s as it can be heard from far away. He sells this hard peanut candy for RM2 per small packet. It is not very sweet, with minty-flavour and extremely hard to bite

Melaka’s signature wooden clogs

#10 Asmaliana

Melaka Chinatown’s newest guest house

Somewhere in Jonker Street and Harmony Street. The best area for walking. As you walk,you will not feel the heat as old shop houses will bring your imagination back in the past. As a living museum, the difference maybe new paint and technology. But the truth is, place that you are standing still serve it’s owner like 200 years ago. Look at all the classic furniture and picture of the heirloom.

When browsing the shops at Melaka China Town, seek for Tang House, if you are lucky they still have a room for you. A classic, a history you know like airwell, pitched roofs with Chinese tiles, and detailed brick work but they work with modern need.

#3 My Little Terrors

Taiping Trip

We stayed at the Panorama Hotel which is smack in the middle of town. Compared to the rest of the hotels in town, it is above average but compared to KL standards, it is run-down. The rooms are big and the bedding clean but the amenities is lacking and the air-cond cannot be regulated so we all froze to death. Its location is very convenient to get food though.

We did not get a shot of the raintree branches curving their way to the water’s edge as it was drizzling at that time but you can easily search for sample shots. Again, the Taiping Lake Gardens puts the Lake Gardens in KL to shame .

Our Dinner At SSL Trades Hotel

We really enjoyed our meals in SSL Traders Hotel. I heard from my father-in-law that the chefs in the kitchen are from Kuala Lumpur, no wonder the foods tasted so KL-ish! Haha Well, we ordered a few dishes. 4 to be more precise. One of the most memorable dish that my taste buds experienced was the “Don’t-know-what sea cucumber” dish. It was really luscious. The sea cucumber is so tender and juicy

Activities At Taiping Golf Resort

My mom booked 5 rooms and we lived at Jana View Condotel, Taiping Golf Resort… For me their room is much more better than Seri Malaysia and the rate is quite the same… RM 170/night.. Got free breakfast for two and their menu pun lagi bagus than that cheapo Seri Malaysia…

Kat Taiping Golf Resort ni, room rate dia lebih kurang sama dgn Seri Malaysia… Tapi service marvelous laa… Bilik dia pun baru refurbish.. Bersih… Menu breakfast mcm kat any hotel selain Seri Malaysia… Staff dia aku paling suke… SANGAT SANGAT MESRA DGN GUEST…

Budget Tips to Sipadan Island

The cheapest lodge is definitely Uncle Chang’s Sipadan Mabul Dive Lodge. It’s very basic, mattresses on the floor and shared bathing but you go to the islands for the diving and the resort for rum party evenings not to catch up on your sleep.

For a little more money you could try something totally different and take a room on the converted oil rig called SeaVentures. This offers you the opportunity for unlimited diving under the rig with your buddy which makes it all great value. You also have more chance of getting some sleep on the rig!

Diving during the Chinese New Year Holidays

I’ve spent nearly 2 weeks of diving at Sipadan Water Village Resort, covering Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai and Si Amil. The dive condition was wonderful during the first week with really good visibility (an average of 18-20meters) and I was glad to know that the weather and visibility only turned bad on our departure day (yesterday) with strong blowing wind and waves.

My Vacation to Sipadan Island

Arrive Semporna, a small town off Tawau. At the back is Dragon Inn, where we are staying. Room rate is RM60 per night. But most important it is a water chalet……..with this amount you get hot shower, TV and breakfast. Lunch and dinner, you can go to a local restaurant…..either Uncle Chang or Fung Ling. They provides a wonderful meal …….don’t take my word for it, try it out yourself. Seafood in Semporna is damn cheap, just be adventurous and try everything.

#4 Alive Not Dead

Mabul/Sipadan

Took a week off with one of my best friends from the States whose been on a diving/photography kick for the last few years. We originally thought about going to dive Australia’s GBR, bounced around the idea of New Caledonia, but then ended up on the much closer (and cheaper!) islands of Mabul and Sipadan in Malaysian Borneo. Overall, I got in 11 regular dives, 1 night dive, and 4 dives in Sipadan over the 6 nights I was there.
