Antipodean @ Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur

Antipodean's Big Breakfast is one of the best big breakfast I've ever tried in KL.
I believe there are good ones all around KL but I have yet to discover, so this would be the one that I like the most. Not forget to mention that they also serve very good coffee. 

I personally like their perfect scrambled eggs that cooked to perfection. Unlike fully cooked scramble eggs like what other cafes would serve. It is also rare to find the real pork bacons in breakfast in KL as what my friends told me. So pricing at only RM 22.00 for this big portion would be rather reasonable. 

The other plate shows Egg Benedict with Bacon. It comes with perfectly poached eggs and the delicious Hollandaise sauce. That is how a plate of Egg Benedict should be, not fully cooked eggs nor funny sides on the plate. Priced at RM 24.00, consider a bit pricey and I would prefer if they were to make the portion of the salad bigger.

Fun of Baking @ Totoro Gourmet Studio, Kuala Lumpur

It is rather fun and exciting when it comes to baking.
I'm something rather into cooking and it's been year since I last baked.
I was rather happy when I am able to join my friend for a baking class in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Totoro Gourmet Studio is a well known pastry studio in KL famous for its one-to-one baking classes.
As far as I've visited so many bakery, Totoro Gourmet Studio is also the one of the most innovative and creative cake designs and decorations skills.
All the cake designs are rather unique but also clean at the same time. My friend, Nick himself is rather particular on baking which has made him a master baker now.

I was surprised to be served a slice of specially made cake by Chef Nick.
The picture below is Salted Egg Yolk Cheesecake, which was named as Ultraman Cheesecake by Chef Nick too. It was rather rich and delicious as the saltiness and sweetness from salted egg yolk and cheesecake blended together. It forms a rather appetizing dessert instead.

Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodle @ Ping Hooi Cafe, Carnavon Street Penang.

People who knows me will definitely know that I'm a big fan of Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodle.
When it comes to Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodle, what I emphasize would be the prawn broth that must taste rich and fishy enough in order to meet my liking.

By coincident, I've ordered this Prawn Noodle at Ping Hooi Cafe when I was having breakfast with my boss. Having to see that the price is rather reasonable, I've ordered a big portion and further added some pork ribs into my bowl of noodle. 


Ping Hooi Cafe is where the famous Tiger Char Koay Teow is located. It is in the mid of Carnavon Street, where it used to be one of the busiest street in Penang famous for trading and wholesaling.
The cafe can be easily spotted as it is just ride beside the main road of Carnavon Street. 


This large portion of Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodle is only priced at RM6.00 with additional pork ribs added. The taste of its soup and the mixture of all ingredients was just perfect to my liking. And after my first sip on the soup, I was totally in love with it. Since then it became my favourite place for breakfast.

Milkcow Soft Serve Ice Cream @ Sunway Pyramid Mall, Kuala Lumpur

After my recent visit to Honey Creme and my comments.
I've got quite a number of suggestions saying that Milkcow Soft Serve Ice Cream is better than Honey Creme's.
If you have not read about my experience with Honey Creme, you may revisit my post at http://www.jjzai.com/2015/07/opening-of-honey-creme-soft-ice-cream.html

After quite some time, I've finally visited Milkcow during my recent trip to Kuala Lumpur as Milkcow is only available in there.
I've visited the Sunway Pyramid's outlet, it is a stall located in one of the busy corner in the middle of the mall.
Milkcow's Ice Cream is rather smooth and it is less sweet if I were to compare it to Honey Creme's Ice Cream. But for the honeycomb itself, I would still prefer the one in Honey Creme as it is much crispier than the one in Milkcow.
The ice cream in Milkcow is not as milky compared to Honey Creme as well. Which would be great if you are not so much into dairy products and if you are afraid of the smell.

One thing I must focus here about Milkcow @ Sunway Pyramid Mall is the service of the staff.
Despite being so busy due to weekends, all the staffs were really friendly and providing quick service even though there were a lot of customers. They did not forget to put a smile on their faces, which I think it eventually cheered up their customers as well.
It is really a thumb up for this kind of good services they gave. I myself felt really great being there as a customer. It is the kind of services that everybody will expect.

Opening of The X-clusive Restaurant & Bar @ Straits Quay, Penang

I still remember how relaxed it was when I sat at Library Restaurant & Bar drinking some ice cold beer with some delicious snacks.
It is such a pain to hear that Library has ceased their operation since then I couldn't find a good replacement for a place to hang out with some pretty nice seaview.

Recently, my friend have invited me over to the opening of a new restaurant & bar outlet.
The X-clusive Restaurant & Bar is the one that took over the slot that used to be Library Restaurant & Bar. Now it has been changed to a total new place offering new menu.
The X-clusive Restaurant & Bar is one ideal location for drinking, especially if you really enjoy sea breeze with some ice cold beer serving on your table.

I've attended the opening of The X-clusive and find that the place was still as comfy as how it used to be. I believe it will be a great new place to hang out again.

Seafood Steamboat Set @ Sarkies Corner, E&O Hotel Penang

It is always been buffet buffet and more buffet whenever I visit Eastern & Oriental Hotel.
But anyway, E&O Hotel in Penang is also well known for their quality buffet with the most wide variety of food available on the buffet spread.

This time, I was a little bit surprise that E&O Hotel has came up with Seafood Steamboat Set as their latest promotions in Sarkies Corner!

Sarkies Corner was the previous buffet outlet that I was here when I was small and I still remember every each corner serving different food.
It was rather luxurious to be able to dine at this gorgeous hotel that age 130 years old this year. It kinda reminds me of my childhood with my family members, especially some who are no longer around.

E&O Hotel is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year.
The building is still as glory and charm like the older days, you can still have a strong feeling of colonial style whenever you step into the hotel.

Tailor-made Clothes @ Parmanands Tailor, Batu Ferringhi, Penang.

When it comes to our work suits, it is very difficult to find the right size for our body shape.
Yet, tailor made clothes are usually very expensive and it takes them very long time to prepare your clothes. 

Back in the 90's, Parmanands Tailor is very well known for their tailor made clothes especially suits, tuxedo and many more. Mainly because of their great tailor skills that comes with affordable prices. 
They were once the main tailor for Penang well known 5-star hotel uniforms until they expanded their business and moved out from the hotel.

Parmanands Tailor has relocated to Batu Ferringhi area right opposite Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa. You can easily spot the shop if you are driving along Jalan Batu Ferringhi as that's the only way to Batu Ferringhi Beach. If you are coming from town area, just carefully look to your left.
