Food in Sarawak : Lalapan Muara Restoran Ayam Penyet, Miri

I always find it quite difficult to find a good place to eat in Miri Sarawak. Although there's a lot of places to eat but quite few have a taste which suit my needs. Then there was I, venturing to a new place, situated quite near to the hotel I was staying (Megahotel). From what I know the place is a branch restaurant from the main restaurant which situated further down south. There place was recommended by my client & I can tell you its worth a try.

Well, its quite simple dish of 'ayam penyet', fresh vege & sambal belacan. The place almost full house everyday & what I can tell is, it worth the wait for a seat.

Place : North Yu Seng Road

Greatthing : Simple yet delicious meal.

Setback : Belacan's smell will lingers for a while :)

How to go? Its on the stretch of Jalan North Yu Seng..

Food in Langkawi : Kueteow Goreng (Fried Kueteow) Padang Matsirat Warung

Who says that street ’warung’ taste is not good or great. Well this confirmed when I went to Padang Matsirat or Beras Terbakar a usual shopping place for shoppers especially women. While my wife went shopping I had to entertain my two little hyper kids (maybe because they have a pleasant evening prior to that).

Well Ammar is very selective with regards to the food he takes. Just to kill the time I just bring a long the kids to this small warung near the parking lot. As usual I ordered ‘teh tarik’, milo ais for the kids & a plate of koteow goreng. Surprisingly Ammar ask for it & cant stop eating it even though it's quite spicy. One thing for sure he’s quite fond to some spice on the food.

We’ll at least I’m not worried about dinner for him that night.

Food In Johor : Pontian - Evening Pisang Goreng 'Panas'

‘Pisang Goreng’ is a typical snack evening meal in Malaysia. On the way from Kukup to Pontian near the shortcut junction to JB there’s this one small ‘warung’ selling crispy Pisang Goreng (Banana Fritter), fried mushroom & ‘su kun goreng’. The place is situated just beside the road.

I always, try to make the place as a compulsory 'snack stop' whenever I get back from work in that area. The sauce is typically Johorean type where they used a soy sauce + with small cutting chili. A combination of this dipping with the Pisang goreng was nearly perfect combination. It gives a sweet (due to banana) with hot spicy taste (dipping). An excellent combination which makes you crave for more.

It normally open at 4.00 pm & by 6.00 pm all the delicious snacks will be cleared. It’s not a surprise looking how such a simple snack attracts a lot of passer by.

Place : On the road from Kukup left hand side. Near the shortcut junction to JB.

Price : Cheap

Setback : Don’t be late. Limited supplies.. :)

Best Thing : Such a good place to have a snack after a hard work.

How to go? Its at the junction near Jalan Tenggayun.

I love this location.. What not to love about it? Nice scenery, beautiful luxury boats & plenty of food. This is a nice place to snap some pictures & just relax (after the tiring whole day shopping spree) . The picture below is Tun's 'The Loaf'.

Food In Langkawi: Restoren Pak Hj. Ya Nasi Ayam

The first time my husband told me there's a very delicious chicken rice restaurant here in Pekan Kuah , I was so excited. The first time we went there, they're sold out (around 3pm). The next trip to Langkawi we determined to go there early. We're in luck!

As you can see the restaurant is very simple and more like coffee shop- style.

After the food arrived, I was speechless... Really..! Where's the chili sauce? After 1 spoonful, I was surprised.. It actually tasted delicious.. A very different style of chicken rice, I'd say. You SHOULD try it!!

At the feeding area, you can watch Langkawi's White Bellied Sea Eagles & Brahminy Kite Eagles flying quite at a close range. They're so beautiful (I never actually like bird watching before, so it's a nice experienced for me).

The bat cave is quite interesting as well. It's quite scary though. Before we went there I never thought that I hv to through a cave where'shundreds, or even thousands of bats are hanging all over it (kindda stupid, huh) & the smell... I'm glad I didn't know though, I'd hv had a second thought, & might not even went. So, I'm so proud that I've made it, even if I just stayed in the cave for less than 5 min..

How to go there?
- Need to go to Kg Kilim. Then there's a small road towards the river. You need to ride a boat to the restaurant.. Have FUN!

Food in Langkawi: Buffalo Park

*Buffalo Park Langkawi is located within a panoramic view of Gunung Raya and Gunung Mat Cincang.Surrounded by paddy field, rubber plantation ang tropical rain forest.It takes about 30 minutes travelling by road from Kuah town and 10 minutes from the Langkawi International Airport.* http://buffaloparklangkawi.com/

This is one of a great venue to visit with your family and friends. I sure did enjoy it. The buffalos were so adorable (for me), I just can't stop feeding them.. haha.. quite an experienced. At least now adam & ammar have met a buffalo eye to eye, I'd say.

They're selling various flavoured milk, youghurt, ice cream, mozarella cheese. Suprisingly, the milk, youghurt & ice cream tasted very good. They don't even have that milky smell like cow's milk do.. I did finish two bottles of strawberry flavoured buffalo milk that day, which kindda weird because normally,I can hardly finished one bottle of same flavoured of cow's.

All of the products was made freshly there on the farm, and if you're lucky, you can even watch the process of making the mozarella cheese in the morning. I think it's better to call them to confirm the time.

For Adam & Ammar, of course they love the ice-creams..




How to go there? At the corner of Jalan Nyior Chabang you'll need to enter a small road toward the buffalo Park. Just follow the sign.. You'll reach there..
