Bringing You Together-Gether Event By Kakao Talk

"Bringing You Together-Gether Event" was held on last saturday at Joey Yap's Conference Centre in The Garden. This event was actually brought to us by Kakao Talk in collaboration with Zalora. With this, they had brought us the opportunity to meet up with our local famous youtuber such as Jinnyboy, Joseph Germani, The Ming Thing, Dankhoo, Grim Film as well as Marianne Tan. Youtubers were there to share their personal experience, showing never-seen-before footage, play games and answer questions. Last but not least, they were there to take picture with us too... hehe...so happy... Check out their videos in youtube. Some are so meaningful, some are funny and some reflect what we actually gain through in our life. Trust me... some of the videos are really funny especially when you watch it together with a group of people where you can laugh together.

Check out my instagram for photo with Jinnyboy.

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul was established since 1936 and was founded by Mr. Tan Teik Fuang. They specialize in providing the best chendul in Malaysia. However, the first time I ate this chendul, I don't think it was really nice because it was really too little chendul although the taste was not bad. Since, it was my first time, it give me a bad impression. After months, my brother "dapao" it and that was my second try. This time my brother requested for extra chendul and that guy really give him a lot. Then, I tasted it and I'm like... Wow!! This is so much different from the first time I ate and is so delicious. I will say this is one of the best chendul I ever eat and it worth a try. And... I went again today (hehe). The one I ate was actually in Paradigm Mall which is the franchise and the shop is very small where it always full with people. Hence, they are shifting to a bigger shop near Delifrance which is going to open in May. Anyway, don't get me wrong, they are still located at the LG floor of Paradigm Mall. By the way, the original one was actually at Lebuh Keng Kwee in Penang and for your information, they do serves other special Penangites desserts and snacks as well like asam laksa (aromatic noodle in tangy fish gravy topped with shredded fish, pineapple, onion), penang curry (yellow egg noddles/ mee hoon/ chee chong fun with spicy curry soup, chili sambal and coconut milk), teochew rojak (sliced fresh fruits mixed with tasty fermented shrimp paste topped with roasted peanuts and sprinkled with sesame seeds) and Teochew fried (dim sum made up of rice flour deep fried with dried shrimp and peanuts).

Betty's Midwest Kitchen

Went to this place once with my family. Then my friend told me there was a place in Damansara selling a dish called "dog food" but she can't remember the name of the restaurant. So, we decided to gave it a try after going to Paradigm Mall that day. When we reached only I found out that, oh.... I went to this place before. I went twice and twice also have pretty lot of customers which I remember I waited quite some time before I get a place to sit. All the tables are full and there are queue and still there are people coming in. This happened months back. Sorry for the late blog. Just browse through my computer and found these photos so I decided to blog about it. For the environment wise, I think not bad where it resemble a little bit of American style. For the food wise, we tried their dog food (fries drenched in gravy, topped with cheese and oven cooked) which I think nothing special...perhaps I don't really like cheese. We also tried their country fried chicken (a quarter chicken marinated and special deep fried for crispy skin and tender meat. Served with traditional home-made country gravy, house mash potato and peas) which I think the price during that time was quite cheap for a quarter chicken and I kinder like their  home-made country gravy, house mash potato. Lastly, we tried their aglio olio with mushrooms (spaghetti sauteed in olive oil, garlic, bacon and mushrooms) which I think it doesn't really taste good.

Brussels Beer Cafe

Brussels Beer Café is a great place that serve delicious Belgian cuisines as well as a wide variety of imported and draft beers where some are imported from Belgium, Ireland, England, Denmark, Germany and etc. They are the only restaurant serving draft Hoegaarden, Stella Artois and Leffe fresh off the tap. If I am not mistaken, they are also the only restaurant in Malaysia that serve Hoegaarden Rosée. I think this is the best beer I ever drank so far because Hoegaarden Rosée is not so bitter and it brings a little bit of sweet taste which I like it so much. For ladies, there will be a ladies night on every Wednesday 6pm onwards where you are entitle to buy Hoegaarden Rosée for only RM10.00 per half pint. For the food part, so far I only tried their Brussels' Meatball (traditional pork meatballs braised in Leffe Brune sauce, onion and mix herbs), Pork Ribs (grilled whole pork ribs served with Belgian stoemp, sautéed vegetables and BBQ sauce) and Brussels' Style Pork Knuckle (crispy roasted whole pork knuckle, served with sautéed potatoes and mushrooms, accompanied by brown sauce). I love their meatball so much where it tastes so perfect with their Leffe Brune sauce, onion and mix herbs especially when the sauce is hot. Their pork knuckle and pork ribs quite nice as well. Sorry, no photos for the food as my phone run out of battery right before the food are serve. Anyway, I think it worth a try. 

This is the one in Setiawalk Mall, Puchong.

Coffee Chemistry Signature

Have you ever heard about art on coffee?? I guess everyone also did right?? How about the one with the 3D effects?? It seem to be quite popular nowadays. And where can you get it?? I guess you can get it everywhere. Anyway, the one that I know and have tried so far is actually the Coffee Chemistry Signature which is located at the First Subang Mall in SS15. So, here we go for another friend's birthday celebration. More 21st birthday celebration to come this year. Well, our previous plan was to celebrate it at loudspeaker by having dinner and karaoke session there. However, due to certain circumstances we changed our plan and end up celebrated it at Coffee Chemistry Signature. They are known for their art on coffee especially the one with the 3D effect. Unfortunately, non of us have order that so no photo for that. The coffee art they create is so unique and is beautifully designed for each cup resisting us from stirring it. Anyway, don't get me wrong. It's more than just a coffee cafe as they do serve a wide variety of food as well such as pasta, chicken chop, steak, butter herb rice, pie, salad, hailam mee, seafood mee and etc.

Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park a.k.a 大上海

Feel like going to Shanghai but not enough money, need not worry about it as we have Grand Shanghai at Setiawalk Mall, Puchong. It is located on the 4th floor of Setiawalk, right below the TGV cinemas. Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park a.k.a 大上海 is build base on the original mid 30's street of Shanghai, decorated with wax figures based on 30's Shanghai lifestyle, antique cars and trisaw. The decor here are so classic that it pretty much resemble the old city of Shanghai. This is definitely a place recommended for photo taking but this is pretty hard as there are crowds here and there. So, snap as fast as you can when there is no one at a particular spot or visit it during non-peak day or hour. There are number of eateries in Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park. Some are restaurants by its own while others are stalls where it resemble a foodcourt. There are a variety of choices of food for you to choose from dim sum to taiwanese food. So far, I only tried the Shilin Chicken Chop Set since I only been here once (sorry, I can't remember the name of the stall I ate). I think the chicken is quite nice especially when it is hot and crispy. I think other food must be not bad as well since I see a pretty number of people eating here. Anyway, there is one thing I am sure is that the environment here do give you the feel of Shanghai lifestyle with all the olden days songs playing around and how some of the waiter and waitress dresses.

There are a number of eateries in this Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park - See more at: http://blog.saimatkong.com/index.php/2014/01/26/grand-shanghai-tea-house-%E5%A4%A7%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E8%8C%B6%E6%A8%93-setiawalk-puchong/#sthash.ZFvEU2Dy.dpuf
Entrance of Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park
You can always spot this type of phone booth in other 
countries but not in Malaysia and here you have one.
Antique Car
Classic right the decoration with all the olden days posters??
Lantern definitely a must to symbolize Chinese culture.
Olden days fan.
Last time where got computer one.... so we have the 
typewriter and I remember watching dramas where 
they show you how the typewriter produces sound 
 whenever you type or press the space bar.


















So this is how the olden days phone, radio and iron
look like before all the mobile phone and MP3 were 
invented
So this is the one I mentioned just now, 
the Shilin Chicken Chop Set (RM17.50)
(come with a drink of your choice, tofu, egg, vege and rice).
It will be cheaper if you do not want the drink and side dishes.
