Everyone love to order Dim Sum as a side dish meal. The main course usually variety of noodle. Types of Dim Sum are seemingly maintained in a hot steamed prolonging it juicy taste. It is a eat-it-while-hot food.

Most common type of Dim Sum. It is prepared with individual portion. Nowadays, Dim Sum is huge in order to catch up with selling price at RM4 - RM5 per plate.

It lights up your dark room like nothing else


Mountain Dew Neon Bottle


It does not just want to lights up your room, the marketing team of Mountain Dew Malaysia decided to up lights up Kuala Lumpur city by setting up a lightning on landmark buildings. It give a chill how much marketing cost they have spent in order to make an awareness on their newest product.

It really cool to see a new carbonated soft drink taking over in term of marketing strategy over Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Mountain Dew original flavor is sweet citrus/lemon flavor.

Will Mountain Dew take the number 1 spot in carbonated soft drink business ? Certainly in the marketing side, they done a pretty good job and deserve a right spot in carbonated soft drink business.

Let neon your room tonight !  

Coca-Cola Zero Prank at Golden Screen Cinema

Robert's Google+



Coca-cola Zero literally means no sugar in it, but still same taste.


Coca-cola Zero
Coca-Cola Zero

You will have a tough decision to make between the original red Coca-Cola or Coca-Cola Zero. Put my experience at stake about the red Coca-cola, more bubble and the taste of sugar is long lasting in the mouth.

As for the Coca-Cola Zero, still magically taste the same without sugar as shown at the back of description (no image provided). The truth is not much bubble and the taste is unusual fade away in the mouth.

Now you have no more reason do not drink a cup of Coca-Cola if you are concerned about sugar level in your body. This is absolute free of sugar !

Recently, there was a guy acted as a staff in one of the Golden Screen Cinema serving Coca-cola Zero but disguise it as the original red Coca-cola. In the end of the video, this guy in red shirt exposed to the audiences that the taste of Coca-cola Zero and Coca-cola Red is almost identical. Most of the audiences are surprised as they could not differentiate them.

For your information, Coca-cola Zero is manufactured in Singapore.


Singapore Chicken Rice Restaurant Review

Singapore Chicken Rice Shop


Singapore Chicken Rice Restaurant at Api-api center

Air-conditioned restaurant serving mostly customer who want to have decent meal served with fried deliciously-marinated chicken. There is another Singapore Chicken Rice restaurant situated at Karamunsing shopping mall.


Singapore Chicken Rice Restaurant at Api-api center

Although one could virtually find any restaurant serving decent chicken rice but not many restaurant actually installed air-conditioner. Your lunch meal is better feast under an air-conditioned environment especially for those working adults with fancy tie and nice suit.

Unlike normal fried chicken, Singapore Chicken Rice adopted half steamed half fried cooking method. The skin surface is smooth and not as crunchy as KFC. One could guess it is much more healthier. 


Review on Borenos Fried Chicken Restaurant

Robert's Google+


Fast Food Restaurant based in Sabah. 


Borenos Fried Chicken


Situated at corner of a mall near the street of Asia city. Being the first Borenos restaurant opened up on 9 March 2015. Local community are encouraged supporting the effort of daring entrepreneurship as maybe one day Borenos will be an international fast food player offering millions a chance to taste Sabah farm fresh delicious fried chicken.  


Borenos Fried Chicken with marsh potato


Review on this meal rating given is 5/5. The marsh potato is overwhelmed with delicious mouthwatering cream. Anyways, it is better if can be much more salty. Moreover, I think it too good to be true asking for more chicken pieces. As for the coleslaw, ice lemon tea, cucumber are quality and fine foods.

Unlike any other fast-food restaurant concept, Borenos staff preferred serving it by bringing order to table. Customer should pay first and take table number stand.

Besides, Borenos restaurant is always promoting Sabah interesting places by playing video on its wide LED TV screen.

Checked on their Facebook Page which is currently garnered over 5,000 likes. Check it for yourself Borenos Facebook Page

Boiled Pork with Soya Sauce Noodle in Sabah

Robert's Google+



The shop titled as Jia Xiang (Mandarin) or Ka Hiong (Cantonese). 



Jia Xiang Sang Nyuk Mian

The best and only one in Sabah. They should have branches at various countries. The meatball is quite nice too. The unforgettable crunchy onion and deep-fried pork oil in a hardened cube shape. No resist it unless you are a vegetarian or due to religious belief.

The half-boiled soup with vegetable is used to keep the pork warm while one enjoying the soya sauce noodle. It is a brilliant and wise combination and unlike dry mixed noodle.


3 layers tea


3 layer tea is another trending beverage. Do not know should or should not stir it up. When one stir it up the only color on utmost top covered the bottom.

Still remember first bite on Big Apple's donuts. The feeling was nothing ever experienced before. Super yummy and the softness amazed me. The first bite was an eye-opening emotion.

Big Apple's megabite and chocoholic

Never really knew that Big apple signature donuts is "alien". Should try it some day later.


It is so far the most pricey donut I ever eaten in my whole life. A good place to hang out too.

Eat at BBQ Chicken Restaurant

BBQ Chicken Restaurant located at Suria Sabah basement floor





BBQ Chicken Restaurant
Weekend patrons in BBQ chicken at Suria Sabah shopping mall



Let me take a guess I have faith that this "BBQ Chicken" restaurant is preparing Korean-styled fried chicken. I am sure it is a franchise but, I would definitely say this is a big business opportunity in Sabah because I think Korean restaurants are well received and welcomed by local community. 

I have been to one of the Korean-themed restaurant. I like the restaurant prepares oven/stove for self -frying the meat I think it non-halal. In fact, I like both of them as well as BBQ Chicken restaurant. I bet it halal certified.  

BBQ Chicken Restaurant Gangjeong Chicken and marsh potato
Gangjeong chicken and olive marsh potato



I was ordered a chicken with rice they gave me an answer "Finish". I wanted to try Korean-styled rice too or BBQ Chicken's rice. Anyways, Gangjeong chicken is pretty amazing must try. As for the olive marsh potato I still think KFC's is undisputed no 1. 



BBQ Fried Chicken BBQ Chicken Suria Sabah

Olive fried chicken using healthy olive oil deep-fry it. I had taste it with my tongue indeed unlike chicken cooked with ordinary oil. I guess it healthy a lot.


If I am not wrong all of these cost around something like RM 40 plus. It was worth it as my first time stepping in this restaurant. I would definitely come again wish to try the BBQ Chicken restaurant's rice !!

Lunch at Upperstar Restaurant Suria Sabah

Robert's Google+


Christmas theme decoration for the upcoming XMAS celebration.




The Xmas celebration is approaching Suria Sabah's Upperstar restaurant at Kota Kinabalu. One of the restaurant you must not miss when visiting Kota Kinabalu, Sabah / North Borneo. Upperstar serves local cuisine, burger and pizza. They do not serve pork but one could get alcoholic drinks here.

Tell you why you should choose Upperstar because the food is served in a plentiful portion the price is not that bad with government tax and service charge combined. I would rank Upperstar in a level equivalent of KFC and McDonald's  


Upperstar xmas decoration december 2014


The decoration is stunning local community like to come dine here. In weekend, there were people lining up outside due to no more available seats.




Upperstar xmas decoration december 2014


WiFi and computer are presence you would not notice time ticks away dining here. I guess there are noise absorb objects no matter how noisy next table it will not affect your dining experience.

The Upperstar service is commendable as soon as one left the restaurant seat the leftover food and plates are to be carried away immediately.



Upperstar lunch menu


The best time visiting Upperstar restaurant would be lunch time. The foods are priced cheaper. The portion is still sizable apparently there is no double standard. Hey, they care about whether we are satisfy with the portion.




Nasi Lemak King
coconut plain white rice, curry chicken, marinated BBQ chicken wing and nasi lemak

This meal should be RM11.00 in total after tax. There are 4 BBQ marinated chicken wings pretty tasty and plentiful




Roti Kahwin Upperstar restaurant


Pretty delicious and one of the iconic small bites appetizer. I think this is something like RM 1.80.


Spent RM15.70 for Nasi Lemak King and two plates of Roti Kahwin.

SugarBun Restaurant at Gaya Street

Robert's Google+



A strategic place opening up SugarBun restaurant



SugarBun restaurant Jalan Gaya Kota Kinabalu



A fully renovated or refurbished Sugarbun now open for business. Order and support homegrown fast food restaurant. The quality and tastiness is unrivaled. Besides, This Sugarbun outlet opened at the middle of most vibrant place during the night at popular Gaya Street where the foreigners staying nearby gathered.





SugarBun aroma rice and chicken


3 layer tea and mouth-watering aroma rice with marinated chicken that really brighten up the day.



SugarBun aroma rice and marinated sauce chicken



A closer look and non-aerial shot, I believe you are now hungry. It worth your time and money if you have yet taste it with your tongue. Our first homegrown fast food restaurant has been in the business for more than 30 years.


However, it seem like SugarBun still require large market share in Malaysia in order to combat rising cost of food and invest more in creating more delicious menu. I have seen some SugarBun outlets closed its door it might be due to problem in sustaining business expenditure.





It will be another atmosphere as the day get darker. The sun is still shining bright at Gaya Street Sugarbun outlet. Most of the frequent patrons are still preparing to come out.

A bowl of Salad and chicken with tasty sauce one of the best combination ever


Kenny Rogers Roasters Balance Duo


I always wanted to try Kenny Rogers recipe. The sauce is just pretty nice coupled with delicious salad really suits it name "Balance Duo".


The size of the chicken is bigger than you think and see in the image. You might get more bites than McDonald's or KFC drumsticks that is a truth. Although it does not come cheap compared to them but it is a good and must-try restaurant. I assume the price is RM13.00 ++


Do you know that Kenny Rogers is now owned by Berjaya group ? Kenny Rogers Roasters was an American company but now only available in Asia particularly, Malaysia.

You must be intriguing on it tagline "Less fat, less salt, Less calories". Grab a bite now

Ochado Roast Milk Tea at Suria Sabah

Robert's Google+



Ochado Roast Milk Tea and Ochado's Japanese rice


Ochado Roast Milk Tea does contains unique taste. The price for one cup is RM5.90 ranked as the most favorable Ochado's drink. One of its competitors in Sabah are ZenQ and Yoyo. Although there was a milk tea branch Chatime in Sabah, that will not do any differences because Chatime are only popular at West Malaysia.


People lining up to buy Ochado milk tea at Suria Sabah


If you order one ice Milo or ice Nescafe, it already something like RM2.70 at Gaya Street's restaurant before the implementation of GST in April 2015. Drinking Ochado means you are drinking two ice Nescafe. Will the common restaurants in Sabah selling drinks same price as Ochado ?? That is some interesting topic because you needs to know that GST would be implemented next year.


Should restaurant's Nescafe price increasing next year, it better for most of us drink a cup of Nescafe before leaving home. The truth is that most of us would not know whether or not it was overpriced. We know that the demands from tourists are soaring high according to yearly chart released by federal or state government. Some said the restaurant price were to cater the affluence travelers to Sabah. How about the local community ??






Ochado at Suria Sabah is selling this Japanese rice. It really delicious and the way they wrapped it so much creative. The sticky rice and seaweed are best couple ever. It only cost less than RM4.00


Ochado sticky rice


According to Ochado Malaysia Facebook page, they are introducing new menu for burger lovers. More information at OchadoMalaysia Facebook page





Ochado roast milk tea RM5.90


. Buy a cup of Ochado milk tea at Suria Sabah and walk to third floor to the Suria Sabah's food court and find a seat to sip your tea while enjoying the magnificent sea view.




no 1 Ochado drink in Sabah



The current no 1 milk tea at Ochado Suria Sabah is Ochado Roasted milk tea flavor. Personally think that it has this smell of something burned.




All seated Ochado Milk Tea at Suria Sabah


If I remember correctly, this must be Sunday afternoon. There were no seats available. One will need to wait at another corner to wait drink to be served. You are to pay it first and wait later for your food to come.
