Seoul Garden @ Sunrise Tower, Persiaran Gurney
Seoul Garden of Sunrise Tower has been around for years and I used to stare at the restaurant when I passed by the place and wander what they serve.
One weekend a few weeks ago, my bro suggested that we go for Seoul Garden since the food is not bad. He had been there with his friends previously. It turned out that we had a great meal there. ^^
The dining area.
Pretty simple without elaborated decoration.
We sat at the table near the window.
You can see the view outside while dining.

Aza Aza Starvil Korean Cuisine and BBQ Restaurant @ Queensbay, Penang
I enjoy dining out with my buddies as we get to share different food and stories when we have the chance to hang out in a big group. So, for Christmas, we went to Queensbay Mall in Penang for a movie and lunch.
We went to Aza Aza Starvil this time since all of us wanted to try their Korean food after failing to decide what to have in the huge mall. We have been eating the same thing again and again whenever we go out. Sushi is really out of the list.
It is easy to find the restaurant as it is opposite Queensbay Mall. To be precise, you can see the restaurant opposite TGI Friday's.

The Library Coffee Bar @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang
Please take note that this cafe is no longer in business
Happy New Year 2015, everyone!
It has been a busy year for me and I am glad that I managed to write something before the end of the month. To celebrate the brand new year, I went for tea with my 'food' buddy.
Lot's of eateries and cafes have been mushrooming around Penang and people are basically being spoilt for choices. ^^ We went to The Library Coffee Bar which is a stone's throw from my place. I've been there once a few weeks after the opening. However, due to my busy schedule (yup, I know...not again), I have yet shared anything.
The Library Coffee Bar is a double-story cafe and you have to place your order upon entering before finding a place to sit and enjoy your day. Seats are limited when it is packed and the dining area at the upper floor can be hot due to the evening sun's ray. Perhaps they should install blinds to make the place cooler.
The dining area on the first floor.
It would be better to go there at night.
Well, it was a November evening. ^^

Purrfect Cat Cafe @ George Town,Penang
Writing is an indulgence to me lately since I have embarked a new journey to further my studies.
Tons to write, but life is hectic so, I need to prioritise my work and thus, write when I have the free time. So, here I go with a quick entry before the end of 2014.
There are many interesting places to hang out around Penang and my buddy and I decided to check out the cat cafe which we have been planning to go for quite some time. Well, I am not really a fan of the feline, but, I do enjoy seeing cute things, especially the display within the cafe.

Anak Kulim Cafe @ Kulim, Kedah Darul Aman
It has been a long time since I last write an entry as I have been pretty busy due to studying.
I love trying out different food, especially finding unique latte art and I am thankful that a colleague of mine (who happens to be my primary school sensei) took me to Anak Kulim for a farewell lunch in August, before I started my college in September.
It was just opened for a couple of months and it is good to see a cafe in the small Kulim Town.
In stead of going all the place to Penang, this can be a good option.
The cafe is located on the left row of shop houses,
just before the Kulim Post Office.
You can see the sign outside the shop.

Cozy in the Rocket @ George Town, Penang
I went to another café in the heart of George Town
with my buddies a few weeks back and we dined at a café known as ‘Cozy In The
Rocket’, which was known as Amelie Café before they relocate to a new place. ‘Cozy In The Rocket’ does ring a bell to me as
it is the theme song of Grey’s Anatomy.
It is just a stone’s throw from their previous place and it
is easy to find since the new café is located right behind the well-known ‘Little
Children on Bicycle’ mural by Ernest Zacharevic. Thus, the place will be packed
with visitors during weekends or public holidays. Wow! O.O
The café is cosy and the ambiance is relaxing. I would like
to say that they go for the vintage theme, which is pretty cool and nostalgic.
The entrance of the cafe!
It looks welcoming and promising of
a cool hideout under the scorching sun. ^^

I Know What You Did Last Summer @ Japan 2013
I love Japan and I am glad that I managed to go there last year. (*o*)
Without my lovely buddies, my trip would be nearly impossible as a comfortable tour around Japan would cost me a fortune
I had a great vacation last summer albeit the hot sun.
Day 1: Osaka
a) Morning – Arrival
(took the limousine bus to Hotarugaike Station and later the train to Ishibashi Station)
b) Lunch – Osaka University (Toyonaka Campus) : Had our lunch at the cafeteria
Afternoon – Near Umeda Station, Pokemon Centre Osaka @ Daimaru Umeda Store
c) Evening – Isibashi : We went to Ishibashi Shopping Street almost every day.

The Bizarre Dotonbori (Namba) @ Osaka, Japan
Dotonbori is a happening place full of visitors, good food and interesting building (or billboard).
The decorations of the buildings are over-the-top and they will definitely blow you away!
During my trip, I managed to capture a few buildings and I am glad that I went there, albeit the hot weather. (^o^)

I heard that the ramen is good.
Too bad we had Korean Food earlier. sigh~
Well, we missed the spicy Malaysian food
after 6 days in Japan and thus, we needed
some heavy flavoured food, now!

Tokyo Disneyland, Summer 2013 @ Tokyo, Japan
A trip to Japan would be incomplete if you did not go to Disneyland.
It has been a dream come true as I want to go to Disneyland badly since I was a child.
I would have to thank my lovely buddy who is studying in Japan. She bought the tickets for us from Lawson and helped us planned the trip. Luv her! XD
My friend suggested that we should be there early before the theme park opened ( at 8 am or 8:30 am on that day, I can't recall) since it would be extremely crowded. It was the Obon holiday when we went to Japan. Thus, I have experienced an extremely crowded place during my trip.

Ippudo (一風堂) @ Ikeda, Osaka
Cold noodles, takoyaki, unagi rice, okonomiyaki.
Now, it is time to taste some delicious ramen in Japan!
After visiting the ramen museum, we went to Ippudo which is
located near the Momofuku Ando Instant
Ramen Museum in Ikeda (池田).
My friend who
is studying in Osaka suggested that we should try the ramen as it is delicious
and affordable. Since we had been eating tons of cold noodles throughout our
summer getaway, something warm and filling would be a delight.
We went there during lunch time and we were lucky to get a seat after waiting for less than 10 minutes.
I was amazed
and excited since the dining area resembles
the ramen restaurant I saw in
animes and mangas.
( Yup, the elements found in animes and
mangas are based on
what we can see in real life)

Kaffa Cafe @ China Street, Penang
Hanging out at the café around George Town is a fast growing
trend in Penang as new cafes are mushrooming around the heritage zone.
People would like to frequent the cafés not only for their
good food, but for their unique dining environment which have different themes
and decorations.
Well, I went to Kaffa Café earlier this year for lunch with
my friends as we have yet tried the food there. (Sigh…it took me moths just to
update since I’ve been extremely busy)

I am always excited
whenever I order my coffee at a café
as I am a huge fan of
latte art.
The flowery latte art
is beautiful
and the coffee tastes
fine.

Art Is Rubbish Is Art @ Art Exhibition by Ernest Zacharevic
Last week, I went to an art exhibition of a Lithuanian
artist, Ernest Zacharevic (who is famous here due to his murals), in Penang and I am amazed by the brilliant
idea of transforming an old deserted Hin Company’s bus depot into an art
gallery. It is a genius idea to make use of abandoned buildings.
Basically, you can
see his paintings and murals there.
I am impressed by the ‘upcycle’ of unwanted
materials for the exhibition as he managed to utilised unwanted things for art. For examples, rubbish bags, unwanted old cupboard, toy guns and materials can be used to transformed into impressive work. Really, they are unique, yet beautiful.

TGI Fridays (Christmas Menu) @ Queensbay Mall, Penang
A brand new year, with a brand new entry! (Sorry, I am a lil late again)
This is a must to mark the arrival of 2014.
Anyway, before the end of 2013, I went for a Christmas Brunch
at Queensbay Mall’s TGI Friday's.
I haven’t dine there for quite some time and trying out the
Christmas Menu might help me discover something good.

日野家 ( Hinoya Japanese Restaurant) @ Fushimi Inari, Kyoto, Japan
Visiting the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine, or better
known as Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is a must when you visit Kyoto. Based on what
I’ve read online, I’ve got to know that the shrine was dedicated to the God of
Rice and Sake by the Hata Clan in the late 8th century.
The main attraction of the place is the vibrant coloured
orange redish tori gates. Trust me, the view is to die for. One word to
describe it: EPIC!
Around the shrines and the shopping street, you will
see souvenirs, statues and talisman or lucky charms, which comes in the form of
foxes.
The main shrine.
It is spectacular under the sun.

Xuan Xin Ramen @ Gurney Plaza, Penang
Xuan Xin Ramen has been around Gurney Plaza for quite some
time and I’ve yet tried it even though I’ve been hanging out there for almost
every month.
Went there for dinner after shopping and since it was early,
the restaurant was not crowded.
It is always full during lunch and dinner time and the
seating is pretty much limited.
Anyway, they serve ramen (noodles) as well as some Chinese
dishes, appetisers, desserts and rice.

Straw Hat (Mugiwara Boushi) @ Ghibli Museum, Mitaka
Visiting the Ghibli Museum (which is also known as Forest of Mitaka Ghibli Art Museum, 三鷹の森ジブリ美術館)was one of my main purpose during my trip to Japan and I was disappointed when my friend told me that the tickets were sold out during the date we were supposed to be in Tokyo (according to the ticket selling machine). T.T
Miracles do happen in life and just as magical as Hayao Miyazaki’s animation as my friend’s friend managed to help us get the tickets from Lawson! Sugoi!
Here's the link of Lawson : Ghibli Museum's Ticket
We took the subway train to Mitaka station and decided to take our leisure time walking to the museum.
It was a cloudy afternoon and thus, we were not grilled by the scorching hot sun.
You will walk pass a park and a tennis court before you reach the entrance of the museum.
No worries, there are signs to guide you along the way and that is why I lovvvveeee japan so much. Clear road signs…unlike those we have here which misguide you most of the time

Joraku (Family Restaurant) @ Asakusa, Tokyo
The best thing about Japanese restaurant is you get to see most of the food replicas outside the shop.
They look real, with the colours and texture which can make your stomach rumbles at no time.
After wondering aimlessly around Asakusa, we stumbled upon this family restaurant and decided to have our dinner there.
It was almost 8:00 pm and we had to be fast as they were going to take their last order pretty soon.
Food replicas...tempting..tempting
Since my birthday falls on February, I will try my best use the discounts and privileges available from the card I have, or just to collect extra points which benefits me later.
Can't help it. I need to write about the deals instead of travel and food this time. ^^
