Majestic Bay @ Gardens By The Bay

My aunt brought us to dine here after marveling Gardens by the Bay. Let me give you a brief tour of the restaurant first before we head for the food!

We saw this outside the restaurant before going in and it looks good :)

Dimsum treats handmade by Guangzhou-born Chef Li Shou Tao.

Most people think fine dining serve small portions but in this restaurant the portions are huge.
Even the manager taking our orders asked my aunt whether she really wanted that much and advised her to cut down some orders.

Thank goodness my aunt did cut down orders, because we still couldn't finish eating everything!

This is their logo (to say we are here! You are in the right place! XD)

Once you enter, you'll see the two deck aquarium on your left.

Get to see your food (seafood! Get it?)

This is an interesting fish to me. It's not dead. It swims like that.

Presenting, the Turbot fish.

NOW, on your right is the bar. Yes this restaurant has a bar. Looks pretty cool.

Neat.

Move forwards and you get to see the tables and chairs. You'll go WHOA. Well, I did so..

I think the circular mirrors are to resemble air bubbles.

My family's table

Behind the panel of mirrors is a secret room, as shown in the picture below.

Voila!

Fine dining. Fancy cups, fancy glass, fancy plates, fancy everything...

Look at our glasses. Cantik ahhhh....

Even fancy wine.. at least I think so XD because my dad pointed it out to me.

Greek Food - Part 1

This post written by Andrew's elder brother called Alan Chong. Here comes the Greek food and some sightseeing at Athens, Greece! 

Greek Kebab

Way better than typical Turkish kebab than we can find in Malaysia or anywhere at Western Europe. Affordable price  (1.50 euro to 2.00 euro depending on location). A typical Turkish kebab cost 4 to 6 euro at Paris, London, Barcelona and Amsterdam. There are selection of meats ranging from pork to chicken, topped with onions, sour cream, crispy potato chips and chilli powder. Kebab is a very common street food in Greece. Most backpackers eat kebab to keep their stomach full while trying to save some money. 

Mashed Potato in Greek Style

Is also known as Fava in Greek. Another common dishes in Greece. The mashed potato is creamy and smooth. Topped with spring onion. The Cooked olive oil just blend so well with the mashed potato. 

At Zeus Temple. Another highlight at Athens

View from top of Acropolis. It remind me of the hill and residential area in Doraemon series. 

The first Olympic stadium in the world. 

Roasted pork served with bread. It cost just 1 euro.

At Parthenon

Greece flag flying high. 

Olive Tree

Different type of olive. Olive is a day to day food for the Greek. 

The Greek Parliament.

Look at the furry shoe that the guard is wearing   XD

Seafood Platter @ France

Seafood Platter @ France

This kind of seafood platter can be found commonly around French Riviera, Monaco and along southern coastline of France. It can be found occasionally in Paris too. This platter might cost around (45 to 50 euro) depending on the selection of seafood. The dip sauce was made from red wine and vinegar. The seafood is indeed pretty fresh. Stay tune for more food updates. 

Best of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah -Part 2

Above the picture was my last visits picture at KK. Photo taken at Tanjung Aru beach for the sunset and the snorkeling area was Pulau Sapi. Those island was part of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (Manukan, Mamutik, Sapi, Sulug and Gaya. My first visit was at Pulau Sapi which my aunt suggested me to go there where you can see a lot of corals and fishes instead of Manukan because that island too commercialized.

This place located at Sutera Harbour Resort. This picture taken at 9am near the marina. For more further information about the islands can be read through Adeline's blog.

My first visit to this UPPERSTAR Cafe & Bar. This was known as Chezzy Carozza with wedges (RM7.95) served very hot and waiting the longest among the others!

Grilled Chicken Burger (RM8.50) served with coleslaw and potato salad. Adeline's relatives let us tried the salad and I love the salad. Inside the salad have eggs too. Adeline's also love it.

The interior of the cafe is awesome! We ate at here during christmas eve for lunch.

                      Some decoration in the cafe.

Appearance of the shop looks expensive right? Actually you are wrong, inside of the cafe serving affordable food and cheap beer (RM40 for 1 Heineken tower).

Adeline's aunt love their Hainanese Chicken Rice (RM7.95). Appearance looks like Singapore chicken rice to me because of the sauces.

I have ordered Spaghetti Cabonara (7.95) and actually Adeline's aunt suggested me to order Lamb Massala Rice but the moment I wanted to order then it was sold out. The other visits at Suria Sabah was sold out too. The taste of the spaghetti was not too creamy and served with mushrooms, hams, capsicum and garlic. Adeline's said so-so only and for me was descent taste.

Baked Mushroom Soup (RM6.95) that ordered by Adeline's. She love the soup at here.

I ordered Grilled Chicken (RM14.95) during new year eve and this will be my 3rd times to this cafe throughout the whole trip. Again I wanted to order the Lamb Massala Rice was out of order but at other branches too. I didn't regret ordering this because this chicken chop well presentable for this price. Serving with garlic bread, coleslaw, potato salads, mashed potatoes and the chicken chop. The sauce is not too salty with the combination of white mushroom sauce and no chicken skin.

Their main menu of the cafe.

Chritmas, new year and valentine's day menu.

Free internet surfing at the cafe. Line was good at the dekstop but not the wifi at there.

The entrance of the Upperstar at Lintas branch.

Branches & Service

Upperstar cafe @Suria Sabah - Food portion was huge among the others according to Adeline's aunt.

Upperstar cafe @Damai          - Service was slow maybe because we ordered beer during afternoon.

Upperstar cage @ Lintas         - Free dekstop surfing internet and service was fast.

This dumpling was from Kedai Kopi Tenom @ Damai Plaza. There are 3 dumpling stalls on the same row with this coffee shop. That dumpling sometime consist of very little meat because we ate there few times on a week but sometimes is alright. The taste of the dumpling was decent to me.

 Me and Adeline's prefer the fried dumpling instead of the steam dumpling because it's more crunchy.

The price for the dumpling. We did tried the other dumpling stalls infront of Fook Yuen but the meat was not as good here although the skills of making the dumpling are better than here.
