Korean Fried Chicken~ Chicken House, Solaris Mont' Kiara

February 2016. Chicken House has been operating for years in Ampang. Recently we are happy to find out that they open a branch in Solaris Mont' Kiara. Now we have another choice for Korean fried chicken deliver when we feel like having chi-mek at home. Last Saturday night we came to Chicken house for dinner, order a ban-pan (half-half) fried chicken~ Spicy Fried Chicken and Soya Sauce Garlic Fried Chicken. Soya Garlic Fried Chicken immediately become our new favorite Korean fried chicken flavour after our first bite! Love the crispy, juicy and tender fried chicken with caramelized soya sauce coated on the outer layer and little bit of minced garlic sprinkle on it. While the Spicy Fried Chicken turns out spicier than we thought. The fried chicken is cook only upon order place therefore a waiting time of 20 minutes is required.  

One month later we begin to order the fried chicken delivery to home. Since delivery within Mont' Kiara area is free with minimum order RM50 & above, therefore we will order one whole chicken or half half which cost around RM62. For other area, delivery charges is apply. Originally it comes with a carbonate drink (either coke or pepsi). Since I don't drink carbonate drink so I request to change it to canned Sikye (Sweet rice punch) with additional charge of RM5. Chicken house is not Pork-free since they have pork dishes in their menu.

Michelin-starred Dim Sum~ Tim Ho Wan, One Utama Shopping Centre

February 2016. Spending weekend at One Utama Shopping Centre again. This time we tried this "Michelin-starred" Dim Sum @ Tim Ho Wan as breakfast. Unlike the long queue during their opening time, there's no queue and we were seated immediately after walked in this morning. The menu choices are limited. It comprises of their Signature 4 Heavenly Kings, vermicelli roll (4 items), steamed (7 items), deep fried (3 items), rice (3 items), congee (1 item), vegetable(1 item), desserts (1 item) and beverages (6 items). Besides that, there are also some Chef's Recommendation for the month of Jan / Feb 2016. We had Baked Bun with BBQ Pork @ RM11.50, Duo Shrimp Wonton Soup @ RM16.80 from the Chef's recommendation of the month, and Stir fried Hor Fun with Pork @ RM15.80. The BBQ Pork Baked Bun makes us wow by it's crusty and fluffy outer layer and the juicy tender barbecued pork filling. I would come back again just for the baked bun. The duo shrimp wonton and stir fried hor fun however is just normal according to our preference. I read comments many said that their dim-sum is 'over-prices'. I personally think the price range is still reasonable given that they are located in a famous shopping mall, plus the 'Michelin-Starred'.

Sunrise on New Lunar Year 2016~ Maritime Suite, Karpal Singh Drive

February 2016. On Chinese New Year eve, we drove down to Penang for a short stay, gather together with my family celebrating CNY together with reunion lunch and dinner. I rented a duplex apartment at Maritime Suites, Karpal Singh Drive via Airbnb since my in laws are with us. All of us love this duplex unit with high ceiling windows overlooking seafront with beautiful sunrise and sunset. And here are some photos of the sunrise on the first day of Chinese New Year~ a brand new lunar year, which is also my birthday, where we waited since dawn. The sun is coming up over the mountains at Mainland Penang~ truly a spectacular sight to behold. It takes about 10-15 minutes until the sun is fully rise. I did not forget to make a wish, praying for good health, great wealth and abundant of happiness for everyone and myself~ 

The duplex apartment name Safari Seafront Suite has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms suitable for 4 to 6 pax. Everything inside the apartment is exactly same as what is shown in their Airbnb site. Generally well maintain (despite a little tiny imperfection), worth for the price I am paying for. The owner Eve is friendly and very responsive to our inquiry. We did not met her personally, everything is through text messaging. Easy and smooth check-in & check-out process. Great experience and we would love to rent her unit again in future.

KL Tower Mini Zoo

February 2016. This post is followed by the previous post where we had pre-CNY lunch at the KL Tower revolving restaurant~ Atmosphere 360. As we arrived a little earlier before our reservation time, we decided to pay a short visit at this mini zoo at KL Tower to kill time. We thought the Mini Zoo is "mini" and the visit will be done in half an hour or less. We were wrong. It needs more time to see all the animals than what we expect and we actually came back again to continue the visit after lunch. Re-entry the Mini Zoo within the same day is allowed as long as the valid sticker is still attached on our clothes. So here's some of the stars of the day that I picked during the visit~
