Sushi@Sibaraku Mahkota Parade, Melaka

Its been awhile since my last post in this blog of mine >.< I was seriously lazy although I had the pictures to share with everyone. Lazy bump! In this post I would like to bring everyone to Sibaraku, listening to the Japanese liked name you would have a wild guess that this place got to do with Japanese food. If you have guessed so, congrats you got it right! In Sibaraku you can have Japanese sushi buffet or normal Japanese food servings like famous Sushi King.

The interior design of Sibaraku. P/S: You don't have to fold your legs when you sit >.< there is a hole underneath the table for your legs~

Now Sibaraku is having a promotion on going that when you spend RM15 above on your dine in meal in Sibaraku, you are entitle for a sushi set which worth RM12 for just RM2! Sounds interesting right?

The big RM2 on the paper explains everything =)

There was this small container beside the paper from the picture above. See it? At first I though it contained wasabi but my guess was wrong. I guess this Japanese restaurant adapted to our Malaysian way of eating >.< Look whats inside here:

Chill powder! Malaysian spicy taste buds are in the house for this Japanese restaurant

Enough of Introduction of Sibaraku and now its time to introduce the food! Well this time we ordered two sets of bento. There were on promotion as well so overall about the price during promotions, its definitely cheaper than Sushi King! Haha

This is mine! Seafood bento. Two big juicy prawn with lots and lots of vegetables. Big Mushrooms and don't forget a big slice of salmon too ^^,

 
 This is one of the side dishes I get. Salad prawn. I love the way they serve it in a emptied tomato. Superbly and nicely done!

This is her order. Spicy Udon. I must say the soup is wonderful. Spicy and delicious. Cannot forget too that it has lots of toufu and minced chicken.

 

Why I sit look like that with all those delicious food? Its about the RM2 sushi set...disappointing~

I was wondering whether its because of its a promotion item or its originally looked that way. Anyway, the sushi is way better than Sushi King. Again I'm comparing with Sushi King. No offense really that the taste really speaks for it. 

P/S: Sushi King lovers, please don't hate my blog T.T

So much of "a set" of sushi. haha. Nevertheless I love the taste of it!

Close up close up! Delicious!

Since its in Mahkota Parade. Directions please refer to my older post on Dataran Pahlawan. Its just opposite Dataran Pahlawan. Once again Sibaraku didn't pay me or treat me to compare against Sushi King >.<

P/S: Sushi King lovers please don't hate my blog T.T I go Sushi King very often too~~~

Concept Restaurant by Boston @ Melaka Raya, Melaka

Its almost 3 years being in Melaka on and off. Most of the general places like Mahkota Parade, Dataran Pahlawan and even the new and old Jusco I have been there over and over again. One cold night we were thinking of a place to have a light meal and coincidentally (I didn't made this one up) we though of going Melaka Raya searching for a decent place =) Finally we came to...

Concept Restaurant by Boston.

The table grabs my attention. Look at the top right of the picture! Mahjong set placed in the table. Too bad its just for decoration purposes =)

The overall setting and feel of this restaurant is very nice. Even the price list is affordable just like those in Oldtown and Station One cafe. The 1st glance at the front view of the restaurant I though its a pub or something equivalent >.< but its actually a normal cafe like restaurant. Don't believe me? Have a look at it:

The yellow shirt guy is in the "bar counter" >.< hahaha

This restaurant provides free internet access through Wifi too just like most of the cafe do nowadays. Plus the speed of the internet is reasonably fast.

The internet speed is quick enough till she can't stop browse internet.

She just can't stop browsing >.< posing also can't let off the phone.

Lets talk about the food shall we? The food they offer varies from western to eastern to our Malaysian favorite Cendol and Fried Kuey Teow. Those who are vegetarians, they also offer vegetarian food as well. I tried their vegetarian Kuey Teow and it taste superb! Like Chinese like it to be "enough fire in the cooking". The drinks is also served well. The tea's aroma is dazzling. Highly recommended!

the color looks awesomely beautiful right? =)

My personal best favourite...cendol + grass jelly

In this post I won't be providing you with google map coordiantes but I managed to get a snap shot of the map to the restaurant. Below picture will give you all the information needed about the restaurant. Whats cool is that the restaurant has its own website =)

 

Here is all the things you need

Meaning of camwhore

"Camwhore" this word came to my attention when I noticed that many people (girls specifically) nowadays like to use this word. The first thing that came to my mind is the act of taking self-picture. Those people who can spend the whole day holding a camera taking his/her own picture. I bet most of you will have the same idea as mine but frankly speaking when I do some research on the word. The meaning defer very much from what I think it is.

cam = camera
whore = sluts (prostitute)

In general the word "camwhore" refers to individuals who perform sexually seductive actions(strip tease) or pose sexually seductive(naked or topless) in front of the webcam in order to obtain money, attention, or goods. The morale is that before you use a word please check its original meaning of the word. I do understand most of the time people doesn't mean it. Better stop using the word "camwhore" unless you really mean to have its meaning >.<

Yumcha @ Pinkberrys, Dataran Pahlawan

Happy Deepavali! Its a public holiday today and its another day of enjoyment in doing nothing. It reminds of a movie I once saw before which had the quote of feeling the beauty of doing nothing! Well, I can't get the idea anyway as I end up sleeping endlessly. Knowing that there will be heavy traffic today, I insisted to go yumcha (meaning: Hi-tea) in town. This is where we end up at:

Pinkberrys is a dessert house which is located on top of Dataran Pahlawan (Directions refer bottom of this post)

Don't keep pressing the phone, order food please =P

Actually she is very hungry but for the sake of the picture, control her face~~~

Now its time to introduce to you what is special about this dessert house. We order desserts (obviously.haha) and also together some local snacks as well.

Ice - honey dew, snowy ice together with sago are covered by honey dew fillings and accompanied by fishball liked honey dew fillings

Cannot wait already! She wants the honor for the 1st tasting ceremony XD

Terrayaki Bun! This is highly recommended!

Lo Mai Kai (Chicken Glutinous Rice) Not recommended at all. The taste is so different and weird >.<

There are many more available dessert such as Chinese style desserts as well as coffee. Overall this is a nice place for afternoon hangouts with a bunch of friends =) Once you are in Dataran Pahlawan find an exit to the roof where the field is located. Its noticeable with its colorful signboard .

What had Malaysians becoming today?

On the way to Low Yat Plaza in the car with my friends, we passed by a road with hotels crowding both sides of the road (actually we were lost on our way to Low Yat, so we end up passing by roads which is unnecessarily). I was at the back seat of the car looking on an old European couple holding each other hands tightly, out of the blue two motorist tried to snatch the old lady's bag and necklace. The whole situation happened in a blink of an eye. I was dumbfounded looking on to such situation. Luckily the two motorist did not succeed in their plan. I wonder if the two couples will ever be happy to return to Malaysia after such warm welcoming display of those two motorist.

The thing about crimes did not end there. My day was further "graced" by me being a victim of a pickpocket (actually almost). Luckily I had felt some movement in my pocket before the pickpocket ran away with my purse. I was at Hang Tuah LRT station and that time it was just after office hours. So, you will expect a lot of people in the station. I saw a Malay man stand quite a distance from me before the LRT arrived. Right after the LRT arrived the Malay man rushed towards me trying to squeeze in the same cabin as me. I felt very strange as the cabin he was waiting were less people compared to mine.

Guess what? That man pushed me into the cabin as hard as he could and I almost fell on someone. I tried to fight back by pushing the man out of the cabin with my back but my actions we useless as he managed to get in anyway. Then the incident happened when I felt someone is in my lower pocket and I saw that Malay man's hand! I quickly stomp his foot and he removed his hand immediately. What further add towards my anger were a Chinese lady standing right at the side of the Malay man. She saw the whole incident from the time that man put his hand in my pocket! How I know it? That lady told her friend that she saw the man putting his hand into my pocket trying to pick me.

What is Malaysians becoming today? At least the lady would had tell me or give me a signal! Luckily I was not being picked in the end. It would be most appreciated if anyone could just lend a helping hand!

Angry ---> Stressed ---> Surprise!!!

Confused by my title? Don't worry. I will explain why my title is named in such. Today I went to Low Yat with my friends. The initial plan was to get a new mobile phone because mine was spoiled after falling down from the stairs T.T So off we go to Low Yat in search of a new phone! There were two devils with me were profusely cajoling to buy iPhone 4 =.= bad peer influence! haha. Its too expensive so I call it a day with a external hard disk.

Hitachi! Never tried any electronics from Hitachi before. Hope it won't let me down >.<

Its time for me to had extra space (1TB) since my photo shooting activity is getting more and more frequent nowadays =)

Yes! Back to the story why I had such title. I should be happy getting a new hard disk but why am I angry? Its because "someone" had been disturbing me, ordering me, and asking me this and that. You were expecting some peaceful shopping doing you negotiations and someone does this! I just couldn't stand it anymore. The turning point was at the end of the journey I was given a surprise from my dear. She was that "someone" and I was scolding her >.< Throughout the journey back to campus I was never expecting anything but she throw a surprise to me out of the blue. Cunning girls eh? She made me fumed in furious in the beginning and then her surprise made my anger disappear immediately. Thanks dear for the surprise! Sorry for being so rude just now T.T Curious about the surprise she gave? Wait for next post!

Bye-bye Penang @ I ♥ Penang

After so many days exploring Penang today is the day I say bye-bye to Penang (*tsk tsk) Don't want to leave such awesome place. The fun and excitement in the city never ends. Can't forget the delicious food (*drooling) How am I going to survive without good food as I already been enjoying for the past few days? Since all of us love Penang so much. So we decided to buy something special to remind us about Penang. Can you guess?

 

Tada! We love Penang!

Before we leave, its the best thing that we enjoy another good and delicious breakfast in Penang. Today we bring you to a simple stall which you will never expect such good food from it. Its just beside a main road. Surprisingly the food is awesomely good!
