5 Stars: Al Rawsha Restaurant - Lebanese Food in Kuala Lumpur

2010-05-05T11:29:00.003+08:00

Ahlan! Marhaba! Ya Hala! Welcome! To the best Arabic (Lebanese) Restaurant in Malaysia. I know there's others as well but I've made my comparison and I believe this is the one for me. For all of the places I've been to, this place reminds me the restaurants in Dubai. No worries, I'll tell you later about that experience as there's one worthy restaurant to mention later but as for now lets concentrate on Al Rawsha. Named after a famous legendary Rawsha rock in Beirut, Lebanon.

It was really embarrassing on how I got to know this restaurant. This because that it was actually introduced by my close friends in Malaysia who are students from Oman! How could I; a Malaysian myself not know about restaurants in Malaysia. So lets not let these things ever happen again.

Going there was quite fimiliar as it was the same road heading to Ampang but you just need to make a detour into Jalan Damai, that is just after the Aldo/Cherry Showroom; just turn left if you're coming from KLCC. Coming there for the first time, I saw a large number of Arab customers mixed with Malaysians. This view was quite similiar to my experience during my student years in UIAM / IIUM in Gombak; where UIAM / IIUM was the place that actually first introduced me to Middle Eastern foods.

Okay lets talk about the food now. the first food that was recommended to me by my Omani Friends (Ahmad, Waleed, Ahmado and Mohammad) was Chicken or Lamb Mandy. This dish is a combination of a Mandy flavored roasted Chicken or lamb(mutton) with rice, yogurt, chilli sauce, fresh green chilli and sliced carrots as per these pics:

After eating these dishes, the verdict is awesome, can't get enough of it!!! I just want more, arhggghhh!!! Laziz (in Arabic;means delicious). Okay, no worries, you'll have your turn soon, I believe ;)

Other than that there are many things to choose from and even the famous Non-Alcoholic Beer; Barbican, which comes in many flavors and not to mention Sisha as well. Please have a look at these extra pics of dishes:

Grill Lamb

Tafathal Mashkurah!..bisura'ah!..don't think about it, just go.this is the closes to the middle east in Malaysia that you'll ever be. As for price is concern one persons cost should be at least RM25 per pax so, be ready to spend like Sheikh! haha enjoy ;)

5 Stars: Williams Mamak, Italian Mamak @ Taman Mayang, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

2010-05-05T08:29:00.083+08:00

"Williams?! What's this place all about? Is it a cyber cafe?". Hehe, those where the first to questions that I was thinking about when my friend me mentioned about it to me. At that point of time as well; I was hungry as hell and as I was thinking to myself; why in the hell should my friend mention about a CC when he already knows that I was Damn hungry, that time?! Why? Why?

But as I have great trust in my friend I just waited anxiously at front passenger seat of my friend's(Ayap) car. I asked him so many questions about where and what is the place that he was taking me as it was a long drive from Shah Alam that time. The only thing he told was; this place is very near to Kelana Jaya LRT Station and the old Lim Kok Wing College at Taman Mayang. So when I finally arrived; all I felt was disappointment, it was not as I'd imagine it would be. The place looked like a run-downed place where it was like any normal stall would be but the funny thing was, the place was full with customers, from Malays, Chinese, Indians, young and old; It was hard for us to even find a seat at that time.

Hmmmm...there's something fishy I guess. It might be it's cheap and that people are just plain hungry. As I walked on by the tables; each of them where full with classy menus that you would guess never to be served here. Well guess again my friends, you are wrong; the food here are out of this world. For an ordinary stall like this; I or you would have never imagine this could be true!

And what's more surprising was; they do not have any written menus at all, few of the menu list were written on the black board. So they mentioned me about what's there to eat I was quite shocked; how could a normal stall like this could offer such big menus like that and it was pricey for a stall to prepare menus like that. So, I wnet with my friend's suggestion and waited for the surprise. So, our drinks came first:

Mango Special

Ribena Lychees or Longan

Ribena Blended with Shum

Dan's Jumbo Ice Lemon Tea

Well, that's only for starters and when the main course arrived, WALLA! Awesomeness! It was big, plenty and too delicious to be true! You would be happy to know that your money is well spent but be prepared to spend RM15 and more if you some to this place. No worries, I guarantee you'll have a fantastic time! Ok as to set your mouths into a mouth watering pool of saliva; please check on these menus served there:

Triple-X

Surf and Turf

speghetti with mantis shrimp

Spaghetti with Butter

White Sauce Spaghetti

Seafood Platter

Risotto

Premium Mixed Grill

pepperoni pizza

pasta arabiata

Mix Grill

Mee Raja with Pandan Chicken

Meatball Spaghetti

Meatball Lasagna

Loh Shi Fun With Beef

Lamb Saddle with minced Mushroom

Lamb ribs

Indomee goreng with beef bacon

Chicken Chop

Burgers

So, guys and gals, what are you waiting for? Should I say any further? Trust me you'll definately love this place. Why?! go have and then ask me, okay? By the way there's more menus available there and all you have to do is ask the people there. Don't be shy, think about the satisfaction after that. I know I have ;)

5 Stars: Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant, SohoKL, Solaris Mont Kiara

2010-04-23T16:28:00.002+08:00

"SUMIMASEN"! this Japanese phrase can also be used to call out to someone when you want their attention! So do I have you attention now? ;) haha!

Anyway, as for "TENJI"; is actually a combination of 2 Chinese words – “tien”, meaning heaven and “ji”, meaning royal gift and also the name of a noble emperor who saved Japan from slavery and codified Japanese law. But to me "TENJI" was my pet rabbit who has passed away. So sad lah...

No worries let the past be the past and as per now, let's talk about Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant; located at the center of where most of the expats live in Malaysia; that is Mont Kiara and this is where most of people in KL would like to live as well. You can pretty much say that this is a very high end and beautiful place to live in but not for me; can't afford it now, maybe later, Insha-Allah!

It's been awhile since I've been to Tenji; I believe it was last year where I went with two of my colleagues (Svami & Brian) and of course with my sayang too ;) Tenji was quite hidden in Soho KL and based on the price I was really expecting this place to be as good as the price is. Do you know that you have to make a booking first to see whether there is any availability! Yes and when we arrived there, people were already lining up to register in based on their bookings. The anticipation became higher for me. So, when we finally went in, it was a sight for sore eyes and bellies! Simply gorgeous and with the amount of food stations within that place it felt like you died and gone to Japanese Heaven! Haha!.. I know I might be exaggerating but as for a first timer at a Japanese buffet and Japanese Food lover, this is paradise for me and might be for you too!

When we made the booking, we requested the table with view outside and definitely for smoking purposes ;)
The view was gorgeous too! and as it was night we where able to see KL's night skyline from there. And as for the view inside; it was definitely food & drinks galore!

There where so many food and drinks to choose from! I couldn't judge whether all are Japanese dishes or not but what I know is my taste-bud and wonderful belly said yes to every each of the dishes offered. Oh, I wish the night would last forever. But sadly, the night had to end soon as my belly has filled to it's fullest even though I could feel that I could still go a lil' bit more ;D

Overall this is a place I would suggest to all the serious heavy eaters out there and for those who are not, please don't waste your money, go to the other Japanese places that suits your load. But if you're too rich already, by all means; dig in. This is a place not to be missed!

5 Stars: Restoran Jaring Sunway Mentari PJ. authentic Malay & Siamese Cuisine

2010-04-23T11:45:00.002+08:00

As for all the Malay & Siamese food lovers out there who would be interested in "Nasi Campur" or Mixed Rice; you have chose the right place to eat. With over 50 variety of "lauk"(side dish for the rice), you would just be full with only the sight of it! They don't only offer you that but also ala carte menus, chicken rice, soup, desserts and many more. Each time I come here, I really can't make my mind! I believe this is one of the best in offering Malay food in Klang Valley. The only downside part of it, is the price; it is quite pricey for the average joe or jane. So, be prepared in spending at least RM7 - RM15 if you were to eat here but, if you are searching for the best; this is the best.

Another reminder is; this place is always pack(be ready to share tables) and if you don't want to be left out on the "Lauk" offered there; come early; as early as 12:00 noon! If you do come at 2pm; you'd be surprise on what's left there. This is definitely a very good place to introduce local Malay food to your foreign friends.

Priceless: Food For Thought - Hottest Scams in Malaysia

2010-04-23T08:35:00.002+08:00

Hottest Scams in Malaysia

Previously, I looked at Most Commonly Used Tricks by Investment & MLM Scams which contributed by stopscams007 from Low Yat Forum. He also make a good compilation on the hottest scams in Malaysia. I hope with the list we are more aware of potential scams and lesser people will fall to be victims.

Here are the lists.

1.) The Cafe Scams – Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner(strange, both in Pandan Indah) – Island Red Cafe collects members RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but what’s the point when they run away ? Stevens Corner, the famous indian coffee shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They collect RM3,000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice fanchisee cafe called Stevens Tea Garden. Someone mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join, ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them. Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You never know when they will run away.

2.) Sunshine Empire – This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank Building. They also have a showroom office at the ground level in the next building. 2 or 3 months ago, Singapore’s Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the link or google for it.(As expected, they STOPPED paying back members now and all investors LOST their money).

Someone below has put a link to the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to receive their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet.

The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Isn’t this quite strange ? At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company easily and claimed that he was just “employed”. Such trick always happened in scam businesses.

Now, the Company has STOPPED paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep much monies in the bank to be freezed ? They are all transfered away. It’s just an excuses not to pay back to members and members are only paid “e-bonus-points” which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out trom the amount. So victims act like Vampires and “forced” to victimise other victims if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries on…..

3.) MOBILWALLET – This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years. Claimed that they tied up with Telekoms, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them. Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.

4.) Water businesses – Oxygenated and alkaline water products – Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick. One of the better known Company that sold “oxygen” water is SITO(supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organiszation and claimed Selangor State Government owned some share in it). The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it ? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC ? Latest news is that this SITO Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this Company is owing alot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just refuse to pay them.

(Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a different name, beware !!)

Alkaline Products – Can anyone explain how it can work for the body ? The stomach’s gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that goes through it will not make any difference.

5.) Car Fuel Booster – K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the footpatch TAKARA, later the “cock-ring” and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but businese begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.

6.) Perfumery Products (eg. Lampe Berger & Bel Air)(more details later). Lampe Berger is not so hot now in the neighbouring countries but there are still new victims every month in Malaysia. Must thanks to those who have contributed and kept the thread alive here in Kopitiam. Bel-Air have closed in Malaysia. LB is almost zero in Singapore. This perfumery product from France with over 100 years history are just bottles and fragrances(check the factory’s website) but the Company marketing them in Asia claimed “aromatheraphy” products. Hong Kong TVB aired a program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HK’s TVB already apologised to them(no evidence, of course). Note that the biggest strenght in a MLM Scam is their members will go all the way to lie in order to defend for their Company. The reason is simple; these members fear that they will not be able to make their money back if the Company collapsed. Knowing that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of skincare products named Estebel, also claime to have over 100 years history in France.(Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now tapping the Malays in Malaysia). Mostly only Bumis active members now but their top earner Steven Yeam have already left and started a new MLM Company(see NEW SCAMS below).

7.) Energy Products (eg. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows). They use all sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products really produce energy BUT is there any tricks in their demo ? So what if there really produce energy; is it good or strong enough to help the body ? Are those simple products made of some simple materials worth RM300 to up to RM3000 each ? The effect is actually PLACEBO which I will elaborate in a new thread soon.(more details later)

8.) Hi-Tech products (names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of research involved, eg Bio-Young and XKL few years ago). Most of these will claimed a professor behind them(even with name and picture of a person) or used words like “U.S.A. formula”, “German Technology” or “Nanotechnology” but with no further details. If you ask for more details like the professor or factory’s address, the answer will be “trade secrets”.

9.) Investment Schemes – SWISSCASH is the King of all. Swisscash is nearly over now but there are many similar and smaller ones that are still on.(Now, it’s closed or stopped paying back members)

10.) GoldQuest – This Company that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2,000 have several names and changed products several times. QuestVacation, QuestNet, etc. They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person(in fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia for having involved in a very big Phillipines scam. Most of their overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is still hot, with some “energy” products.(Can someone please provide a link which showed the news that their boss was involved in a big scam in Philippines and was arrested last year ?)

11.) Numerology & Fortune telling – A Company named Visiber is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes using your birthday based on Numerology fortune telling. Prpspects will be told that they need to buy a certain “number” between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of silver with stainless steel or platinum plated, and sold from RM600 to RM20,000. Customers, or rather victims are mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of spin-off Companies have started.

12.) MJ-Life – This Company boost of a very big background with many many years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may be long in business but nothing to do with their MLM launched recently. Why do I consider it a scam or bad ? New members are told to pay a sum of money(up to RM1000) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a membership can entitle you to enjoy all sorts of special price and discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centres. They will claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. It’s not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.

13.) Seaweed Venture Scams – 1 such Company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to invest a few thousands ringgits for their venture of growing seaweeds in East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by “insurance” or “unit trusts” & “trustees”. When you ask for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. These Seaweed scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before they are victimised.

14.) MXM (previously MGM) – This is a master scam owned by a Dato Kam(Pathlab) tapping the younger group, very successful 2 or 3 years ago but since they moved to their big 10-storey office at Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They collect members RM3,000 to RM4,000 with credit card monthly easy payment and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some you-don’t-need medical check-ups from their associate Company Pathlab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all worthless.

15.) Gano Excel/I-Touch Life/GEW2u – This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules created a new Company called Gano iTouch to cash-in on the internet like e-Cosway after their Company went down the drain since the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from KL to visit their Alor Star office. It did not work well and recently in mid-2009 changed name to GEW.

16.) NuLife(HK) – This Company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim. Since this case in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss in HK is a Steven Tang(he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way. Now they claim Malaysian partners cheated them and start a new Company in Malaysia. Watch out, this new Company will come out with some investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.

17.) Arowana Fish Breeding, Oora from Germany, Biofuel (Kompleks Maluri) etc – These are some newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give you fixed return. Biofuel will tell you their Indonesia connections(just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany(I never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of accupunture, tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on your body and you get the effect later. They could not explain or provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. Only doctors and papers claim that I will never trust. The health effect is actually PLACEBO, which I will elaborate in a different thread.

18.) Easy-Pharmax – How could I missed this out earlier. I thought I mentioned this until I got e-mails asking me about it. This is easily in the TOP 3 during the last 2 years. Owned by a Dato Yeap(another Dato !!) Members are tricked to invest up to RM40,000 with the false promise that the Company will use e-commerce and online selling to dispose their goods and recover their monies. It won’t happen, of course.

19.) Gold Investment Scheme – This is an old trick but back again by several Companies promising a GURANTEE FIXED RETURN income like many other schemes. Try to ask for a copy of their fixed return agreement and consult your lawyer. Common sense tell you any business that promises a fixed return to UNLIMITED numbers of investors, higher than bank interests must be a scam.

20.) Score-A or Skor-A – This Company sells you an online program of past Malaysian examinations papers for primary and secondary school students for self-testing for up to a few hundred RMs per membership. It actually cost them nothing. Members are told to invest in a few units, again using MLM with the promise of getting rich. The same program can be purchased from Utusan for just a fraction of their price and you can get better programs.

NEW SCAMS

21.) GRI (Global Royal International) – The boss behind this scheme is multi-billionaire James Pang(the big scammer waiting for trial in Singapore because of Sunshine Empire). Before Sunshine Empire, he operated NOP and SwissCash. This time, he is using a lot of representatives and MLM leaders since his passport is held by Singapore government and he cannot come to Malaysia. I am told that anyone who is bold enough to call himself a MLM leader in Malaysia can visit his rep in Malaysia or Singapre and they will be given at least RM5,000 as some expenses subdsidy if you are willing to market for them.

22.) One Community Worldwide – Tapping a mostly Bumi market and owned by Steven Yeam(SYN) and Willie Lim of Lampe Berger previously(the Chinese no longer trust them). They are selling a negative ion mattress for RM25,000 !! The same modal, I have seen before for RM2000 from Korea. If you cannot afford RM25K ??? You can buy therapy package for RM300. Don’t believe in such product ? You can go for some chlorostrum(virgin cow’s milk from nowhere)

23.) English-Learning Program Online – ESL(an online English learning program) You are asked to pay RM100 for one or 2 years usage of online learning. Started by a Malaysian Indian man by the name of Dr. Edward, this program has changed names at least 2 or 3 times since the last one year due to poor response and a lot of “technical problems”. I consider it a scam because you are paying money for nothing tangible to direct-selling company through MLM and their program has been very “unstable” as my source put it.

24.) Genius Theme’s vacation and rewards package. Such timeshare holidays scheme are being sold for RM400 to RM499 and you are promised a few nights stay in Thailand or Bali. Started by a Company name Max Generation, they wholesale to some MLM Company and other Company like Sen Heng, one of them is Genius Theme, a subsidy of a Maxis agent Company. Looks like many people will lose money. If this Company runs away, those hotels and the MLM Companies need NOT be responsible. Genius Theme is using MLM and direct sale to sell for RM499 or RM599(include a flying experience) while Sen Heng is giving it away free if you purchase over RM2000 products. Of course, they are othere hidden costs to be paid, it’s NOT really free unless you pay MORE upfront.

25.) Another one is an “online gaming” program using MLM, started by Steve Tan, founder of Xango in Malaysia, also aimed at youngsters.

5 Stars: Waroeng Penyet @ The Curve, Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya

2010-04-22T12:28:00.000+08:00

Aaaaahhhh...I've always loved Waroeng Penyet! It may be because this is the first place that I had my date with my sayang or it may be because of the Bali experience I had or it might be the awesome crazy hot sambal that they have or maybe because it's located at my favorite chillin place: The Curve! Either one, it does not make a difference to me, I'm so glad I found this place. It so reminds me Indonesia a lot! I've always like the food in Indonesian. It's somehow similar to Malaysia but there's always something different (X-Factor) about Indonesia. The fun part of this place are the staffs; all of them are Indonesian! And I'm not talking about those rural Indonesian who don't have the slightest manner in their saying or act,. At this place, the staffs are professionals, well-mannered Indonesian. Furthermore, there are able to understand english and malay and their is Indonesian is clear and easy to understand by me and other locals. Kudos to the management of this place. Anyway, there's only one disappointment that I feel that needs to be addressed; the number of seats and tables that they have; it's always not enough! But, what I know is, they have taken the shop next to them and expended their shop; haven't been there lately but will soon.

All of the foods here are awesome but what gives it an extra level higher is the Sambal; CRAZY SPICY HOT SAMBAL; never had enough of it! so for for those weak tongues out there, please think twice before you have this sambal okay; don't say I didn't warn you enough. And don't worry about the word "penyet" or in English it means "flatten"; no worries, it doesn't mean that it's based on road kill chickens or anything but it's just the process of softening or tenderizing the meat only in the traditional Indonesian way. Insha-Allah, it is halal. So enough said poeple, move your lazy bum and have it for yourselves and if you need more info; look into this link below & enjoy the few pics I have here:

5 Stars: Restoran Big Brother – Big Brother Restaurant & Grill, Western Cuisine & Catering

2010-04-22T11:19:00.000+08:00

Big Brother! wah!.. ;) this label reminds me of myself (once you've met me, the feeling is mutual). How I found out about this place was because of "Jalan-jalan Cari Makan" show on TV3. Apparently on an early Sunday Afternoon, I just woke up from a long sleep that night and switched on the TV, walaa!..there I saw Big Brother. Haha! Eventually, my belly was growling and my mouth was drooling over the their menu dishes shown! Fuyoo, I cannot take it anymore, had to have it as well but, was kinda short on cash that day and fortunately there was my sayang to the rescue.hehe, the government sector just received their salary. Thank God!

So had a really fast shower and all, went straight to pick up my sayang, googled Big Brother through the net for map and location; 45 minutes since the the TV Show, I'm now at Big Brother! Thank God again!

As for my first impression seeing this place was: it was kinda small and didn't seem to be as interesting liked I pictured it be but no worries, I have faith in it. parked right in front of the entranced and the welcoming was good; the waiter even cover the front part of my car (so kind of them) with card boards as it was really hot that day and there were no trees around to shade the place with. Sat at the smoking section of course and straight went for the menu!

Emmmmm....the menu looked really good and even the place also was basically designed in way that it meant for western food with local characteristics. The ironic part of it the owner looked a lil bit like me! only he was with glasses :) Now I know why it was called Big Brother but the owner was not that friendly. Never did he try to say Hi and greet the customers in anyway. So, Mr. Owner, if you're reading this, please do that next time okay. And please have at least a website we could go to as well.

So my sayang and I made our orders, she was having grilled chicken and I was having meatballs and mashed potato. Surprisingly, the price was reasonable and that made more enjoyable but we where still hoping to see the actually dish itself. Hope it would not be a disappointment. As the dishes came through, we where not disappointing at all! Bravo Big Brother! had a really good meal...felt like my belly was about to explode! haha..the portion was just nice for me so, think what it could do to you :P

By the way, I don't have the pictures and drinks that we have but let me post here among the menus that are available on the net so, please cover your mouths!

5 Stars: Restoran Yuen Buffet Steamboat - All You Can Eat!!!

2010-04-21T08:59:00.001+08:00

Why 5 Stars?!!! Go there and tell me it's not. Yuen Steamboat(my nickname for them) brings a lot of memories to me and most of them are the ones that would always put a smile on me. I practically grew with this awesome establishment and I believe that I have brought most of the people I'm close with here to dine & feast and eventually rock our worlds off!

When I first came to Yuen Steamboat, it was not where it was now. Before, it was located within the Mentari Business Park but it was a row with where McDonald is now. As for now, the place on the other side with three levels open for us.

Initially,it was my "Kak Long" (Eldest Sister) who first brought me here and I'm very thankful to her for this. At that point of time, my mother(May Allah Bless Her Soul) was still alive and fancied this place as well. Seeing her eating more than the usual always made my family and I happy to have found this place. As the time passes year after that, Yuen Steamboat has grown to a very successful establishment that makes all of us proud of this Malaysian Brand!

By the way, let me tell you about the owner; I call him Uncle and this guy is the most friendly and kind person I've ever met. From my personal experience, he always let my friends and I finish satisfying our hunger and our enormous bellies even though it was past closing time. And usually after closing hours, uncle and all of his staffs would sit together and have their late suppers together; seeing this show that this establishment promotes the sense of a family relationship rather than an employer to an employee. I believe, because of this, this place shall always be more prosperous and might have another branch soon.

The open timing is same as always with two sessions available:

Afternoon Session: 11.00 am - 3.00 pm (Wednesday -Monday)
Evening Session: 5.00pm - 12.00 am (Wednesday-Monday)
PRICE: Adult: RM 18.80, Children below 12yrs: RM 8.80 (excluding drinks)

The evening session always have a long que of starving people and majority of them are Chinese and the rest are Malays and Indians.

Well, this situation might be because it's a Chinese owned place with a lot of Chinese around. To all Malays, please don't be worried the food here is halal with the halal certification available and as for the Indians there's no beef involved.

Therefore, no need to worry and I personally recommend all of you to come to this place. I guarantee you'll love it! But If you're looking for a quite place where you need to cuddle and be romantic with your partner; definitely this place is not for you! Once I was eating here and there where three groups who where celebrating birthdays of their friends here and because of this the place can become a very noisy yet joyful place.

Okay, let me tell you about the food now. Even though this place is specialized in Steamboats but the Best thing that you can find here is Yuen's Awesome BBQ Chicken Wings.

Trust me, it's more than finger licking good, it'll make you even lick the fingers of the person next to you! Haha! I know this might be a lil' bit exaggerating but this is how I would like to describe it. The sad part is it will be served consequently through the hours but once it's out, be prepared for war! People would not care whether you're young or old,guys or gals, you want it, you fight for it. Let me share you a secret here; if you really want to be the first to know when the BBQ Wings to come out, be a lil bit friendlier with the waiters there and ask them a favor to tell you when. It always work for me :D

As you arrive to Yuen Steamboat, you would have to wait your turn to be seated; depends on how long the line is or how many people are in your group. Once you've been allocated seats, you'll be asked on your preferred soups; Tom Yam or Chicken Broth or both.

As for drinks, there's plenty of drinks here to suit a variety of taste buds. One of my favorite is the Hot Chinese Tea in a Pot with Ice cubes on the side. For me, this would be sufficient enough to quench my thirst and help me through this tasty adventure. Before I proceed, to all the smokers like me, there is only one smoking area available on the ground floor at the outside of this place.

Now, for the endless line of foods available there are divided into these sections:

1. SEAFOOD SECTION:

2. PROCESSED FOOD SECTION:

3. SEAFOOD BALLS SECTION:

4. NOODLE & TOFU SECTION:

5. VEGGIE SECTION:

6. COOKED FOOD SECTION:

7. DESSERTS BAR:

Therefore, if you're prepared to fulfill yourselves with awesomeness and to the fullest, then search no more, enjoy yourselves at Restoran Yuen Buffet Steamboat. I guarantee you'll have the time of your lives but please DO NOT WASTE any foods there or YOU SHALL BE CHARGED!
