Seng Huat Koay Tiaw Soup at Jalan Kebun Teh Lama, Johor Bahru

Seng Huat Koay Tiaw Soup stall (N1.47779 E103.75348) is located at the junction of Jalan Kebun Teh Lama and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, Johor Bahru. There was only one stall during my visit and I'm not sure is there any other hawker stall around in this coffee shop.

There are indoor and outdoor area at the shop, and I took the outdoor area...the outdoor area shaded and you won't feel hot especially under the big tree...

Outdoor area

Indoor area

It was not very hot on that day, and I believe the shop will be uncomfortable during a hot sunny day. I ordered the Kuay Tiaw (dry type) and it served with soup.

Plenty of fish in the bowl

The fish was tender and the soup was not too salty, overall...satisfied with it! Delicious!  

Damage was MYR7.00. I will be back again but Not on Hot Sunny day...:)

You might feel not secure around the area because of the vehicles passing by, the shop located exactly beside the traffic light junction and furthermore it's a high traffic area. But for me, it's ok. :)

The stall is open 7 days every week...Mon - Sat : morning till around 4pm and Sunday : morning till 12pm.

The International Kite Festival 2011 @ Pasir Gudang, Johor

We visited The International Kite Festival 2011 on the Saturday morning and it was not a good weather that day...As usual, the Bukit Layang Layang (Kite Hill) (N1.47480 E103.90641) area was crowded and packed with peoples everywhere...

The Kite Museum of Bukit Layang Layang, Pasir Gudang

This time, I don't really take note on the stalls along the way, it was almost the same every year. There was a group of children that cheer up the area! I like to see those smile on their face! :)

The group of school children

We went to the field immediately and trying to catch some actions with the kites around...I believe the groups from all over the World are the same as previous year.

Country flags of all the participants

It was not a sunny day and also Not windy at all! I believe that was a bad news for all the Big Giant Kites in the field...
I managed to took some photos on the sky...during that time, most of the huge kites were lying on the field.

You can see the Big Kite every year...

The Malaysia flag

Follow by the Brotherhood of Stingrays...

Some of the Big heavy kites trying very hard to fly, but...unfortunately the wind was Not strong enough to lift them...too bad, we don't have a change to snap the Big kites too! :(

The Big Kites trying hard to lift up, but...

Suddenly the sky does not corporate enough and heavy down pour without a notice! Everyone ran like hell to find a place to hide! Except those in the field...I saw them really enjoyed dancing in the rain...haha!

Some actions on the ground...

Doesn't matter rain or shine...

I like this action!

After the rain stop, we saw a really Nice scene! Many young boys and girls suddenly ran into the field with their little kites in hand! That was Great!!

We were there for about 2 hours, then the rain started to pour again...that spoiled our moods to continue watching the beautiful kites flying...and all of them were just lying on the field...
Disappointed! We will be back again next year!

Fried Carrot Cake @ Permas Jaya Sunday Night Market

The Fried Carrot Cake hawker stall is located at the Sunday Permas Jaya Night Market (N1.49493 E103.81524), Jalan Permas 10/10 of Taman Permas Jaya. There are 3 Fried Carrot Cake stalls at the night market and this stall is one of it at the middle of the 300 meter long Sunday night market.

The Fried Carrot Cake hawker stall - RM3.50 (small), RM4.00 (big)

The stall is manage and own by a young couple, the guy (Mr Lee) is the one who fried the carrot cake. If you are not sure which stall is correct, just take note that...there'll be a Proton Wira parked behind the stall. Picture below :-

The stall owner - Mr Lee

Maybe because of the night market is fall on Sunday, so prepare for the big crowd along the street. And also a Long waiting queue on the stall...

The Fried Carrot Cake which are ready to pick-up! Look at the queue...

I will suggest you place your order then have a walk at the night market, after finish shopping then pick-up from the stall. Don't waste your time waiting at the stall, because it might take more than 30 minutes for your Fried Carrot Cake.

The Flavorful Fried Carrot Cake was nice and above average if compare with others, it was not salty. But I believe it can be better if it's fry with bean sprout. (Understand some customer doesn't like bean sprout)
I will visit this stall again and I prefer to have a Extra Big pack next time, because it wasn't fill up my stomach even I ordered the Big pack. :)

*  If you like to try it, be there early. I heard the Fried Carrot Cake finish before 8.30pm.

Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant at Taman Molek, Johor Bahru

Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant (N1.52088 E103.78447) is located along Jalan Molek 3/10, Taman Molek - Johor Bahru, which is nearby the Ponderosa Golf Club of Johor Bahru.

Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant

We love to take steamboat during the raining night, at least it will not be that Hot and also will warm up the cooling night. The area is spacious enough and you can even choose to dine at the alfresco area (if it's not raining). This restaurant's charges is different from others (eat as you can), they charge per person and serve you all the dishes at once on the table. (MYR14.00 per person)

We like the services of this restaurant. Less than 10 minutes, our table was full of dishes...

And they are Famous with their homemade fish noodles, fish cake and fish balls, beside that...there are also include other seafood like prawns in the package.

Homemade fish balls

Fish and prawns

Noodles and eggs as usual...

Please forget their homemade chili sauce...

Overall, the steamboat dinner was OK, and the soup was normal chicken soup and the fish was fresh! The restaurant is crowded during weekend and I believe it's because of the reasonable price. We did ordered the beef and it was serve in slices (MYR10.00 per plate), I like it very much!

The Damage : MYR14.00 per person.

Well, we will visit again on the coming raining night for dinner. :)

The Sleepless City - Kuala Lumpur

I was standing at the cross junction of Jalan Imbi & Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur (N3.14366 E101.71214) on one of the Saturday night. And I can't help myself but just keep on snapping the surrounding...actually I was walking towards the Capitol Hotel where we stayed.
Anyway, I felt this was a nice place for night street photography...

Berjaya Times Square across the road and the Big Square LED display

The road traffic was still very busy even it's almost midnight....

Heavy congestion at Jalan Sultan Ismail...

There were many Giant signage at this junction which lighted up the whole area...and most of the shops here are open 24 hours. That mean's you can grab any foods even after midnight...

The Mc Donald's Fast Food Restaurant is open for 24hours

Personally like the lighting of the Bukit Bintang LRT Station which located in front of me...

Bukit Bintang LRT Station

There were many night activities around this corner...

The Gold & the Silver

One of the 'Art' of the junction during weekend was the Gold & the Silver. These 2 men were dressed in Gold & Silver even included their face. You can take photo with them and Please donate RM2.00 into the box in front of them, take note the colour and please don't put into the Wrong box! :)
I was standing beside them for more than 30 minutes, and guess what?! They REALLY don't Move at all!! Wow!

The Toys seller

My daughter wanted one of the rabbit, but I refused...

The group of the youngsters performing the Street Dance next to toy seller...and they attracted many peoples who walking passed...

The Starbucks at BB Plaza still full of peoples even after midnight

When I walked towards the Capitol Hotel, along the way...Jalan Bukit Bintang...

The road (Jln Bukit Bintang) Still very Alive after midnight, the Sleepless City

The junction between Changkat Bukit Bintang & Jln Bukit Bintang

There was a Cafe on the rooftop of the building on the left, and you can see the KL Tower at the background. Behind the shops, it is the Famous Food Stalls - Jalan Alor of Kuala Lumpur.

The KL Tower

and passed through Jalan Bulan...Surprised! Crowded and happening!

Wondering all the cars parked at the 'Toll Away' area?!

Beside coffee, tea and foods, there was even a Live Band playing at the corner!

And you can also have a Street Massage just opposite the restaurants! The shops & restaurants around this area mostly open 24hours.

Capitol Hotel at The Heart of Kuala Lumpur

Capitol Hotel (N3.14481 E101.70988) is located at Jalan Bulan of Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. And it's surrounded by Sungai Wang Plaza, BB Plaza and Lowyat Plaza in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur. The reason we selected this hotel was because of the prime location!

I booked the hotel through HolidayCity.com with the better rates, because when I made a call for the hotel reservation, they said it's Full.
Surprisingly, during we checked-in...we were upgraded to Super Deluxe Room at the same rates!

The Super Deluxe Room of Capitol Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

The Super Deluxe room is located at the corner of the building, and my daughter like it very much because she can had a better view of the surrounding!
The room was Clean & Spacious enough for small family like us.

The bathroom was spacious too! It came with a shower area & bathtub. You can view from the photos attached...

The Bathtub

Nice decorated shower area

We took the room without breakfast, because there are Many restaurants at this area and we can have more choices! We had our dinner at the restaurant situated just next to the Hotel. So far the foods were average and prices were reasonable.

The Beef Noodle at the restaurant beside Capitol Hotel

Roasted Pork from the same restaurant

The beef noodle was ok but the roasted pork was not Crunchy.

The Capitol Hotel was fine (except the ventilation at the corridor) and we may want to visit it again next time!
Rated : 3.5/5

We only put a night here because I was invited to the Blogger Party at Neo Tamarind Restaurant.
