Restaurant Nyonya Makko, Malacca

A must try if you are craving for authentic Nyonya cuisine.

Our friends brought us here for dinner when we went to Malacca for our company trip early Jan this year.

They sure know what to order! Look at all the food. What a satisfying meal. We all went back to the hotel with bigger, rounder tummy.

"Rumah Terbalik" aka "Upside Down House" @ Tamparuli

Been neglecting my blog again due to busy work schedule.

Today is my off day and had the opportunity to go Tamparuli to visit the New Upside Down House. Wanted to visit it since my sis, @ChloeTiff, introduced to me through Facebook.

Getting to this Upside Down House is actually an easy drive you can see it before the Shell Fuel Station. It is definitely the first of its kind in Malaysia and South East Asia.

We are not allowed to take pictures when we were inside the house. I guess may be the owner wants to keep it a mystery so that everyone who is interested can go and experience it themselves. So I won't say too much on what I see inside the house.

I personally like the "Upside Down Kancil" - It looked so cute. ˆ⌣ˆ

There is a souvenir shop and a cafe when you come out from the house. So you can easily buy some souvenirs back. Or just quench your thirst at the cafe.

Opening hours is from 0800hrs - 2000hrs.

Entrance Fee :
Adult : RM18
Child : RM5
Child below 2 years - FOC

"Breads & More" @ Grace Point, KK

At last, went to lunch with @meitzeu at "Breads & More" operated by Sutera Harbour Resorts at Grace Point, Sembulan.

Pricing was reasonable "Cafe" prices instead of 5-star hotel prices. Glad that we ordered the Cold Cream Cheese Cake @ RM5 and Salami Croissant @ (RM11.80 - if not mistaken). The cake and salami was really good. But kinda disappointed with the coffee as it is tasteless.

Will definitely be back for other cakes and breads.

Meanwhile, will indulge in this Chinese New Year festive food and gatherings.

"Gong Xi Fa Chai to all"

Marudi Fried Koey Tiaw, Miri

Was in Miri on 23 - 25 Dec 2011 for a dear friend's wedding.

She introduced us that a Must-Try in Miri is this Marudi Fried Koey Tiaw. Marudi is actually a name of a place in Sarawak. If I remembered correctly, she told us that before we have flights to Mulu, people used to drive and cross the river to get to Mulu, and Marudi is a small town where they stop by for rest and meals.

Marudi Fried Koey Tiaw is slightly thicker and softer than the normal Koey Tiaw.

This is really good and we went to the same shop twice. I can't remember the name of the shop, it is near by to Imperial Hotel, corner shop and it also has a famous roasted duck stall.

Christmas Tree Lighting @ Sutera Magellan Resort


Invited @meitzeu to tag along with me to the Christmas Lighting Ceremony at Sutera Magellan Resort.

The Guest of Honour of the event is Datuk Yee Moh Chai and wife who will light up the tree.

The event was great with lots of good food, wine and the angelic voices of the children from Desa Pukak Hostel.

Pity that we couldn't stay for dinner (I saw roast turkey!) after the tree was lighted up as I have another dinner gathering.

Poh Chi Lam @ Taipan Inanam, KK

This is a post which would make @meitzeu jealous.

She has been telling us that she read a lot of good review on Poh Chi Lam. I did tried my best to bring her, but the first time we went, the restaurant is still closed.

But I managed to go there last week, so I tried the Dim Sum and the Roasted Duck noodle.

The duck and noodle was really good ala Hong Kong Style. So good that I forgot taking picture of the noodle.

Dim sum was surprisingly good also. Heard from the boss said the Dim Sum Chef worked at Nexus Karambunai Resort previously. No wonder the presentation and taste were good.

Love that every ingredient - the prawn and pork is fresh. The custard egg york buns are really good too! Crispy on the outside and piping hot and creamy on the inside.

I think @meitzeu will start bugging me again to bring her there soon after this post.

Will post more when we go there.

:P
