Restaurant Murni Bukit Jalil | Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

Eating Place | Kuala Lumpur | Bukit Jalil | Restoran Murni

Weekend sometime is always the time to eat outside with family or friends. Plus, weather today quite hot outside, few days Kuala Lumpur was without rain. So basically it was hot and humid + you will pretty much feel thirsty and want to a sip of cold drinks.

My BlackBerry rang, pick up, then heard a very husky voice at the end of the line. Oh it was my friend, asked me to have a drink..I said where? He told me lets meet up at Murni bukit Jalil and he will call the other friend of us who are staying at Bukit Jalil to join us.

So to cut the story short, I never been to Restaurant Murni Bukit Jalil before, so this is my first time. Heard about Restaurant Murni SS2 was quite good, big portion, creative menu, fusion etc. So this is the time for me to give it a try at Restaurant Murni Bukit Jalil.

Hell yeah!! The menu very much variety and the name of the dishes it was something cool? Not sure..hahah, I had "Nasi Goreang Meletop with Chicken Chop". It quite tasty but very HOT! That is why they call it MELETOP = HOT, and the Chicken Chop is quite regular taste nothing to WOW.

But what interesting was the combination of the menu and drinks. I really can't suggest which one to order, but I suggest you guy go there and try it yourself. A lot you can choose from, but I heard the "Mee Raja" is quite good, haven't try that, next round I will.

Below what I had, Nasi Goreng Meletop with Chicken Chop. The best part is you actually can customize your menu. Like mine, is only Nasi Goreng Meletop (Super Pedas), but I asked to add on Chicken Chop to come with it.





The Menu of Nasik Goreng
( I forgot to took picture, this I pick up from the internet menu picture)




Overall, I like this place because the portion is BIG and the price was reasonable. The taste was OK. And the other things, they have a lot of drinks you can choose from.

So this place I would recommend if you like to hang out with your friends or even you can bring your whole family to eat they food while have a good time there with a very reasonable price.

Kuantan | Pahang Malaysia

Eating Place | Lunch | Dining | Kuantan Pahang | Teluk Cempedak | Chempedak | Makan

My Welcome Note: Click Here



I've been to Kuantan last year, with family for short vacation 4D3N. We have stayed at one of the hotel at Teluk Cempedak. So what else, beside holidays with family, we have tried some local foods at Kuantan. First let begin with Teluk Cempedak it self.

WOW!! Teluk Cempedak has been changed compare to the last time I've visited. Now they have a lot of eating places there, basically you wont go hungry day or night, even Burger King, KFC now available at Teluk Cempedak!

We've found one burger joint at Teluk Cempedak, which was kinda interesting. Maybe they name of the stall as I recall, the taste of the burger not something I would remember :P, however, the stall name was something catchy that made me remember until now. If you happen to be at Teluk Cempedak, don't forget to try it out and let me know how it taste. For me, I would say "So..so..not that tasty" but worth to try since we are all at Teluk Cempedak.


BUGERMBIRA
Location: Burgermbira - Right at the turning into Hyatt Hotel at Teluk Cempedak.



If you are at Pahang or Kuantan, don't forget to try out the local fish dishes, IKAN PATIN.
There is a famous restaurant at Kuantan for Lunch, Akob Patin House. This restaurant sell ikan patin masak lemak and others "lauk-pauk"

Akob Patin House

Address : Tapak PCCL Jalan Besar, 25000 Kuantan

The fish was so tender, no smell, soft, we had it with "Gulai Lemak Tempoyak"
Nice and recommend to have a lunch here.




After we had good lunch at Akob Patin House, on the way back to our Hotel at Teluk Cempedak, we drop by to have a bowl of Cendol. Famous cendol here, Mustapa Cendol.
MUST TRY!!! Don't missed it. If you from Kuantan on the way to Teluk Cempedak, you will see Mustapa Cendol on your right hand side nearby Shell Petrol Station. 

Should go there and try their cendol and rojak. Highly recommended by most people and including myself. I've tried it and I love it!

Langkawi | Kedah Malaysia

Eating Place | Makan Best | Langkawi Eating Place | Jalan Jalan Cari Makan | Kedah

My Welcome Note: Click Here


Langkawi is located at state of Kedah Malaysia and about 30km~40km of the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia. Langkawi is an island by itself and part of the state of Kedah. I've been here for few times, with my recent visit I've stayed a bit longer than usual to enjoy the holiday with my family.

We have stayed at 2 different hotel during our visit just to have  a difference flavor of location since we been staying for 1 week.First half of the week we stayed at a hotel at area of Pantai Tengah Langkawi and the other half of week we have stayed at Pantai Kok Langkawi. If you looking for the happening place, you can choose to stay at Pantai Cenang Langkawi.

I would recommend if you want to have a peaceful area, relaxing with family or couple, please try search hotel at the Pantai Kok area. You might find good peaceful hotel there away from the crowd.

We have stayed at Tanjung Santuary - Beachfront Villa , and it was awesome, truly relaxing and had a good time with my wife and kids. You will not regrets.

Ok now, lets talk about what I had or ate when we were staying at Langkawi. On the first night we have visited this local restaurant near by Holiday Villa Hotel, the restaurant called Maya Restaurant. It run by locals, and they serving local foods. I tell you, the cook is good! I taste was like you had your mum cooking at home. They used fresh ingredients,we ordered "Ikan Kerapu Sweet & Sour" (Fish Dish), Oxtail Sup, Duck Green Curry, "Telur Dadar" - Omelet Malaysian Style & White rice. Hmmm it was nice. The foods that we order are actually typical menu that you can find at any stall at Malaysia, but what difference in Maya Restaurant was, the taste and they way they cooked it is really like homemade style of cooking where you can have all the taste which needed were there in the foods. Maybe I would say, "Cook with Love" , obviously this restaurant they focus on the food quality rather than to make money from the customer.

Take note that, this restaurant is not the 5 stars restaurant, it just normal local Malaysian style restaurant. Don't expect air-condition, fancy plate with expensive fork and spoon.

Recommend for all to go and try regardless if you are Malaysian or Tourist. Should give a try if you looking to have a local Malaysian Taste.



MAYA RESTAURANT


LOCATION: MAYA RESTAURANT - Near / Infront of Holiday Villa Hotel
GPS: N 6 16.52 ,  E 99 44.05
Another local food that famous at Langkawi is Laksa Kedah. Again, I found this stall near by Langkawi Airport Runaway - where you can eat Laksa and Cendol while enjoying view of the sea and aircraft take off or landing :D
They call this stall (actually not a stall, just a van carry the foods). Hawker style. The name is "Laksa Power". You wont miss it if you going to Airport direction it will be on your left hand by the sea.

GPS: N 6 19.50 , E 99 43.37

This what we had, Rojak, Laksa and Cendol
They have variety of Rojak that you can select from, and also Laksa and Cendol




Ok what else? We drove down from our hotel at Pantai Kok - Tanjung Santuary. Drove down to the near by Petronas (To Fuel up / Petrol Station). After that? Well hungry, we went nearby there, and saw on building and the restaurant signboard say "Maharaja Restaurant". The restaurant is located nearby Petronas Petrol station, you will need to drive along Pantai Kok Road, until you reach at Perdana Quay (where you can see a lot of boats, private boats docking). When you see Petronas, the restaurant is somewhere hidden behind Petronas.

This restaurant serve Arabic cuisine, but somehow I found butter curry chicken in the menu(does it more indian?), so I order "Butter Curry Chicken". Turn out it was nice, the curry is thick with mild taste of butter and some yogurt. Delicious! I think the restaurant have both Indian and Arabic cuisine.

They have nice cozy setup of the restaurant, if you prefer eating outside at their patio will be wonderful view facing the Perdana Quay. The restaurant is open from 11AM to 11PM if I'm not mistaken. So dinner here will be awesome too with the delicious foods they have.

GPS: Sorry forgot to save it
But as mentioned, drive down along Pantai Kok Road, until you reach Perdana Quay, when you see Petronas, the restaurant already nearby hidden behind Petronas.




View from the Maharaja Restaurant




Another spot that I would recommend, is "The Loaf" restaurant at Langkawi, it at Perdana Quay as well. They have both local and western or eastern cuisine. Below was what we choose to ate that day.


What myself, wife and kids ordered ;) Look delicious? It does taste delicious too!!
I can't remember the name, but the one with eggs, was their signature lunch set. with potatoes, vege, egg and patty beef. The brown sauce was super nice, does well with egg and the beef. As you see the big prawn stick out of the bread, that was soup. It actually a bread, they dig the hole at the middle, and pour the soup in, creative heh.. :)
Overall, the foods here are delicious, and tasty...not sure, maybe I'm bias, but it does taste very good compare to The Loaf @ Bangsar Village Kuala Lumpur :P

GPS: Sorry forgot to save it - it was at Perdana Quay



After all western, local food, we had gone to Eastern food..oh Well it Japanese Foods.
Highly recommend Japanese Foods at Langkawi, please go to Unkaizen, it will not fail you. The restaurant nicely setup based on Japanese zen concept. You can choose to eat inside the restaurant of eat outside and have a great sunset view. (Take note if you decided to eat outside, please wear long pants to avoid mosquito)


DINNER AT UNKAIZEN JAPANESE RESTAURANT LANGKAWI
Location : Unkaizan Japanese Restaurant
GPS: Sorry forgot to save it, but it near by Holiday Villa, drive up a little bit to the mountain and you will see the signboard on your left. 
Just keep driving along the road.
Address : Lot 395, Jalan Telok Baru Pantai Tengah, 07000 Langkawi, Kedah Malaysia

I ordered Sake Shio Yaki, with rice, tempura and some sashimi. Look at the way they serve the rice, was traditionally prepared - Japanese old school way :)
Overall, the foods was very good but a bit pricy. It has the authentic taste of Japanese .
My wife love it and overall we very satisfied with the foods here as well as the service.

The restaurant was own by the Japanese, and seem the owner have hired Japanese Native to run the restaurant, which make the restaurant really Japanese environment restaurant, not like some other Japanese restaurant you can find in Kuala Lumpur where run by Chinese or Malay owner. During my visit to the restaurant, at least more than 2 waitress were Japanese and the cashier was Japanese native as well.  Definately will comeback here if we go to Langkawi again..


One day we went to Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall to find something for my wife. While we were there shopping, we saw this one shop where they sell wood carving, some nice fine arts and believe it or not, they have cafe inside. They all it "Tropical Living Restaurant". So we had short stop to have a drink and I've tried their Mushroom soup with garlic bread..and it was really not disappoint us. The taste of freshly made Mushroom soup was very delicious, and you can taste the fine cut of the mushroom itself when you sipping your soup!

 Location: Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall - it was inside the shopping mall, ground floor. This shopping mall is at Kuah and near Jetty.

My Welcome Note : Click Here



If you happen to have a long or short vacation at Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan... try this place. I've been there, the menu very simple BBQ chicken and other stuff with with rice. This place kind a famous at Port Dickson. The sauce was very delicious to me, but the BBQ is standard. Nothing to WOW for me, but overall, it was good and should drop by and try it. Famous in PD (Port Dickson). 

The place called Cowboy Place and all the waitress and waiters are wearing cowboy had, kind fun to eat there, my kids love it. However, do take note, this place is just by the road side, and there is not air-condition only fan. So it might be a little bit hot in the afternoon.

When we were there, there was a group of bikers stop by to have lunch and it was pack and a lot of people. Tips to avoid crowd either you go early or late lunch around 3PM.

Selangor | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur | Makan | Best Makan Place | Eating Place | Foods |Tempat Makan Best Kuala Lumpur

My Welcome Note: Click Here



Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia, and you can find a lot of choices of foods from Malay, Indian, Chinese, Western, Eastern, Korean, Japanese etc.

Let me start with my favorite Western steak. There are a lot of steak house in Kuala Lumpur and restaurant that you can find selling steak in Kuala Lumpur.
I have ate a lot of steak in Kuala Lumpur, and our favorite place is only one place which I think the finest steak in Kuala Lumpur.

The restaurant name is "Las Vacas". The restaurant actually started as the butcher selling meat, and they expended partly as the restaurant, where you can choose your meat cut and ask them to cook for you. And now, "Las Vacas" has embarked their business and open another 2 outlet at Mont Kiara and at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng Kuala Lumpur, it more cozy and urban atmosphere. I haven't try at their new outlet yet, as myself and family we always return to their original place at Kelana Jaya. 

My last visit with my family, I had Angus Grass-Fed Rib-Eye.

If you are steak lover, you should go and try yourself. You won't be disappointment with their steak, nothing will go wrong. It a bit pricy, but consider the meat quality and as I mentioned, if you are steak lover you MUST go to this place.


LAS VACAS
Location: Las Vacas Kelana Jaya, near Wisma FAM
GPS: N 3 5.74, E 101 36.31

Beside steak, my family love their beef-wrap. MUST TRY!





Duduk Cafe's - Located at Solaris Dutamas. I've been there several months back of course with my family to eat. We all had their burgers, the patties is prepared in the house by their own chef, taste was good and the beef was juicy..to my taste. The portion also not bad..enough to get be full for lunch or dinner.


BEEF BURGER @ DUDUK CAFE
LOCATION: D3-G3-01 Solaris Dutamas,
No. 1, Jalan Dutamas 1,
50480 Kuala Lumpur

It came with fries and vege. The burger topping you can choose from the menu, for myself i had extra beef salami, extra cheese, olive. Hmm yummy..

On the drink, hey have variety of drinks...i had below is mango drink.

This Duduk Cafe's is nice to chill with family and friends. Reason is, I like the concept of the restaurant, where you can sit on the table and there was a conner where you can actually DUDUK and eat. That's why they called Duduk Cafe's? 

Duduk is Malay Language if translate to English - "Sit" . Below picture was the place where we sat. Nice and cozy with good burger!

Alright, seem I'm quite free today..so decided to try post few entry of my fav place for makan. Well this time about Japanese Foods.

I have one fav Japanese restaurant which I think the taste still Japanese taste (Some Japanese Restaurant in Malaysia been localize to local taste..so im very disappointed  on that, especially Japanese Restaurant which have fusion menu!!! Sucks!!I like originality)

Anyway, makan Japanese sedap dekat bangi ..the restaurant I want to refer to is "Miyagi Japanese Restaurant" located at Bandar Baru Bangi near by Hospital An-Nur Bangi (Same row toward the end).

I'm sorry, because I'm a VERY REGULAR CUSTOMER here, so memang jarang tangkap gambar and nothing that I can share in term of picture..tapi aku memang selalu pegi restaurant ni, minimum sekali sebulan... :)

My fav is tendon, saba shioyaki or sake shioyaki, kitsune soba and of course miso soup dia memang terbaik, my whole family like this place as well.

What I can recommend, the Japanese foods there give a taste of real Japanese foods, and a lot of Japanese have lunch or dinner at this restaurant.

Here some info base on Foursquare Location : Click

Tendon Set - One of my Fav

Saba Shio Yaki - Another fav of mine, just had recently :)
I have to mention, the cawan mushi is also good!! delicious
when you order set, normally all set will come with cawan mushi
so recommend you take a set to have it all.

Otherwise, if sometime I go there just to eat their noodle or sashimi or Ala-carte,
then cawan mushi can be order separately too. 

This is my family favourite to eat together :)
Agedashi Tofu..the tofu so fine, coated outside, fried and eat with sauce..
so soft outside and very soft inside nice! should try.
