Morgan’s Field @ Pavilion

2012-01-29T13:30:00.001+08:00

The American Blues, the quintessential element of the American Midwest that tells the historical journey of modern America today. Developed when African American workers migrated to the Midwest and northeast during the Great Migration in the early 50's, these acoustic cum harmonica-based bluesy-jazz tunes started as street-corner based music. Soon though, the music gained massive popularity and spread across America with the same energy as its advocates.

With as much vigor as the music that accompanied them, the workers also introduced their own style of cuisine, spinning their Delta Blues whilst venturing into their life's other passion: Food. Or, more specifically, good ol' fashioned barbecued pork ribs, with an extra dose of charming Southern hospitality! And so the essence of Morganfield's™ began.

Morganfield's™ combines life's two greatest passions: music and great soul food. At the heart of Morganfield's™ is its signature dish – Sticky Bones™ – a truly authentic, old-fashioned prime pork rib slow-cooked and smoked in coal and hickory wood to a tender mouthwatering perfection, then basted with the gluey sweet and tangy hickory flavored barbeque sauce with a hint of cider. A perfect accompaniment with good blues music and great friends! Sticky Bones™, one of life's magnificent pleasures!

During some nights at Morganfield's™, you can sense the original toe-tapping excitement of the roaring 50's, venturing back to times when life was stress free and great music and food reigned, easing the long summer's day. (Morgan’s Field, 2011)

Amarin @ Mid Valley

2011-09-17T20:13:00.000+08:00

Small thought: i been trying different Thai restaurant in Malaysia and i found them similar to each other, i am yet to try out the authentic food in Thailand itself! I wonder it would taste the same or it actually had been localize to Malaysian taste! Generally, Thai food is always my favourite!

Asam Laksa at Kek Lok Si, Penang

2011-09-16T17:21:00.000+08:00

Small Thought: It was just so irresistible and my stomach always craving for the second bowl! too bad i had too many places to cover so i forced myself to drop that thought! Although i been told rumours that this stall is using newspaper to imitate fish flesh but i have to careless about that because…it really really taste good!!

Chendol at Penang Road

2011-09-11T21:33:00.001+08:00

Small Thought: Having a ice cooling chendol under a hot sun is always so refreshing and energizing! We had a great time with that small bowl of chendol!

P.E.N.A.N.G

2011-09-06T17:03:00.000+08:00

Small thought: Penang is being well maintain and more organized under the new ruling party. Resources are being equally distributed and i can see Penang is getting there, not only a preferred food heaven, a preferred business environment, and most importantly a preferred living place. Penang, a hidden gem, has started to shine on world map. =) Good Job.

Ipoh White Coffee

2011-09-04T16:50:00.000+08:00

Small thought: I dint get to try because i am ~~allergy to coffee~~ not really into coffee. Since i was born, i think i had less than 5 glass of any kind of coffee! Anyway, they all told me the white coffee sold there was very thick and they even felt bloated after drinking it! WHOA! COffee lover? perhaps u gotta try it! =)

Review: Unexpectedly disappointed. This restaurant is way too much overrated by blogger! It was nothing special at all! For those who deliberately go there for this dim sum, i would advise you not to waste money, perhaps you could donate your petrol money and toll fee for charity! =)

2011-06-07T22:01:00.002+08:00

Already have a home alarm system?

Planning to get one soon?

Have you ever thought of the scenario below might happen?

What is the point of spending few thousands bucks for sophisticated alarm system without protecting the weakest point of your house?

Although you have solid window frame, aluminum doors and even the most sophisticated alarm system with CCTV installed, roof, is still a weakest point of a house.

LOL… this is EPIC!!!

Somehow, I feel this photo very nice. elegant

All of us

This is the Photo Of the Day!

Wish u a super happy birthday and all ur wish come true! =)

Overall, they serve good quality of food. I think the price is fair due to its location, in the Pavilion Kl. Going this place during special occasion is perfect! I am not going to question about the portion of the food because that is the standard portion for all so called “fine dining” restaurant in Kl. One thing I wanted to point out and give them a thumbs up: it is very normal for people to have more motivation to serve those who are “more willing to spend”. Let me put it in this way, people like us, students , we might not order one set for each of us, sometimes we tend to share among each other. I very often found the server giving us a “if cant afford then don’t come in laaaa” face, BUT, our server really did serve us very well! So, muy bien!!

Santofino, Mediterranean Cuisine & Silia in Kamari, Greece

Two summers ago, I went to Athens and Santorini island in Greece. Upon reaching Santorini and exploring Santorini around and about... I finally understood the meaning of heaven.

We stayed in Perissa, just less than 5 minutes walk to this black beach

This is the port where we reached

We were at a wine area and witnessed a wedding :)

Then we were at Akrotiri, red beach

On the second night, we drove to Kamari and had dinner there. We settled down in Santofino Restaurant, which serves Mediterranean cuisine.

Entrance

It was really a cool area, and it's pretty weird there are barely anyone there. Maybe it was a week day.

The next day, we took joined a tour for the volcano hike, and lunch which you can find the entry here.

After volcano hike and lunch, we went to Oia.

Apparently, Oia has the most beautiful sunset ever, and I truly agree with it.
