2025 Trio Christmas Trees~ Petronas Twin Towers, KLCC

December 2025. Merry Christmas! Updates were delayed for the second half of 2025 due to busy with work and walk. Definitely will take my own sweet time to fill up the blank whenever I can find time. Before 2025 end, here's one of my favourite Christmas tree for this year~ Petronas Twin Towers lit in Green & Red like Christmas corns~ Ops I mean Christmas Trees 😆It makes the Malaysia's tallest Christmas tree looks so mini when three of them in one picture lol.

Handmade Hakka Lou Shu Fun~ Sin Loong Kee, Kundang, Rawang

August 2025. Short run away from the city to Sekinchan for sea and seafood. On our way there, we stop by this small Hakka village known as Kampung Baru Kundang in Rawang, for Hakka Handmade Lou Shu Fun at Sin Loong Kee and sightseeing. Google map shows their business hour is 8am-11am, when we arrived, it was almost 11am however the lou shu fun and fried yong tau foo were still available. The lady who does the cooking told us that they open very early (around 630am) and close only when food sold out (usually around 12 noon).  We both had the dry version of Lou Shu Fun, and also tried few pieces of their assorted fried Yong Tau Foo and soupy Yong Tau Foo. We can see the owner making the lou shu fun at the back of the shop from the entrance next to the cooking counter. 

Handmade lou shu fun texture is soft yet chewy, taste like rice noodle for me, different from those machine-made lou shu fun which is short and silky. Best paired with their homemade calamansi chili sauce (recommended!)! Their kopi is very kaw and nice too~ without a doubt, the price is much more affordable compared to the city. We did a quick loop of the town before leaving Kundang. It's a small old pekan where Jalan Pekan 1 (where Sin Loong Kee is) is their main road, some very old shop houses that built around 1950s still around along with modern shop lots.

Menjalara Lake Park, Bandar Sri Menjalara

June 2025. I recently get to explore few places in Kepong including this Menjalara Lake Park that I never knew it exists despite have been there (Menjalara) many times lol. It's a small scale but beautiful public park with a lake and hillside, meant for the community nearby, similar like Taman Aman. The park is currently undergoing some installation of LED lights installation for the Luna lights Wonderland event which deemed as Southeast Asia's largest light festival (no free entry, ticket cost is RM20 per pax). The little surprise that I found while strolling through the park is the T-Rex replicas along the route at the lakeside. There's two of it and both standing not far from each other. Not sure if it is there fore permanent or just for the luna lightshow. Total time spent for going one round of the entire park (we covered most of the routes) is about half an hour, approx 2.2km. 

Slow Cooked Steak Pie + Fish & Chip~ GravyBaby, Jalan P. Ramlee

April 2025~ it's been a while since last post update. Again I am busy with work and life (going here and there exploring around whenever I am off work). thus no time to blog. Before April end, I was here at Gravy Baby for the pie with friend during lunch break. Did a quick check on my last visit to Gravy baby, omg! it's March 2021 before Christal leaving Malaysia~ that long ago! Order a pie and their lunch set to share~ their pie still good as usual. It's slow cooked steak to tender steak + wild button mushrooms in rich British gravy. Lunch set is a 3 courses meal that comes with a drink. We chose onion rings and house salad as appetizer, fish & chip as main and ice lemon tea. Fish and chip is good except the serving portion is small (according to my standard lol). Besides food, we also enjoy watching the compilation of famous old Hollywood movies including Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, Demi Moore's Striptease etc playing on the tv screen. 

100% Wagyu Beef Hamburg Steak & Rice~ Wagyu and Rice - Avenue K

March 2025. So we discover that Avenue K recently launched Yatai Roji street with four new restaurants~ Tsukiji Sushi, Kumo (cafe), Wagyu and Rice and Rebel and we have tried Tsukiji Sushi and Kumo somewhere in January before CNY. Today we are here for Wagyu and Rice for the champion Shimomuragyu A5 Wagyu beef hamburg. It's 100% halal certified wagyu and we just learned that it earned first place in Japan's top wagyu championship for 10 consecutive years! I still haven't been to TRX for that viral hamburg rice that always with queue but I think I don't have to rush to try there anymore because I am (we are) super satisfied with our wagyu hamburg and rice with Kenkori egg today. The hamburg is handmade freshly daily in the morning, and the cooks teppan-grilled it in front of us as the bar seating itself is an open kitchen. Rice and miso soup can be refill once. My lunch partner and I loves the A5 Shimomuragyu Wagyu Gyu Suji Daikon with nice proportion of fat which is so soft and melting in our mouth. I don't mind repeat order on this again when I come back. Wagyu and rice was first open in Lalaport BBCC, follow with their first branch in City Junction Penang and Avenue K is their second branch in KL. 

本魚河岸 官兵衛~ Kanbe Sushi, Shoplex Mont Kiara

March 2025. Meet up with friend who also keen to try out Kanbe Sushi at night for dinner and 小酌一杯 (have a drink over dinner). Kanbe sushi is the only Kanbe family of restaurants in Mont Kiara that I've not try so far since their opening last year. When we are here around dinner time 7pm (its weekday), the restaurant is already half full but after 830pm it started to clear and less crowded. As we decided to come here last minute, I make an online rsvp just an hour before and the 7-8pm time slot all fully book so I was in waiting list. But no worries, walk in is possible with risk of waits for table that's all. We gotten our seats at the bar seating since it is just 2 of us. We order some assorted sushi (Engawa, Kanbe's blue three and others that I can't recall names), as well as a combo set of Ebi Tempura to goes with the sake. We also wanted to try the Wagyu tripe stew but it is not available. Friend chose 獺祭 Dassai sake as our drinks tonight and it's nice~ lighter, smooth and sweet. We have a great time with talks, food & drinks, watch the Japanese chef preparing sushi and enjoy the vibes that makes you feel like you are in Japan now.
