Westin KL Staycation

Went opposite Westin hotel to Pavilion to Quivo for their weekday lunch set. Not the cheap lunch set, but very quality food, will definitely like revisit their lunch set if I go there on weekdays.

Their lemon tea is homemade kind and comes in really huge glass, really nice

Tomato soup is really yum

Salad is cold and very nice, with strong cheezy dressing

My arrabiata pasta, good portion to fill up the tummy

Only gripe is this Crispy Chicken burger which is not crispy at all, it is drench in sauce, not nice

Westin KL Staycation

Westin KL Staycation

Wantan mee nothing special, such hassle to go there, wait their opening time to avoid crowd but at the end tastes so so only

Westin KL Staycation

Halab gate shawarma, really like their complementary garlic sauce which make the shawarma really juicy, but the garlic sauce got not much taste, not garlicy at all

Next day Westin hotel’s breakfast, always enjoy hotel’s buffet breakfast yum~

My mixed vege grilled sandwich, filled with artichoke, eggplant when I am expecting like grilled capsicum etc, not something I will order again, will order something else next time maybe the mozzarella sandwich.

Overall though items not spectacular, I do like their natural bread and will try other items next time

Above is hub’s salmon egg milk bun, something for him who don’t like hard bread

Onion soup above is a bit sourish and lack depth of rich beef broth, but it is kinda expected, at least they don’t use artificial beef broth flavoring

The tiramisu texture is horrible, it is basically clacky soft mushy underneath, I think too much coffee or it has been made for awhile that water seep to bottom

Our seaview room

One downside is there is no bidet next to toilet bowl

The bathtub opens up to the sea, not that we feel safe opening it up

From our seaview hotel area, we can walk on wooden pathway to Fisherman Cove, the restaurant looks nice but this is not included in resident package

Nice juggle walk exercise

pangkor laut resort 2023

The hike starts from library area, and ends at Emerald Bay beach, quite a good workout

pangkor laut resort 2023

Reached Emerald Bay, the beach is not clean, rubbish all over with 2 workers busy sweeping up the branches and rubbish. And there is many jellyfish small-ish plankton(was told it is not jellyfish) in the area that nobody is playing in the water. I swam a little and felt like the plankton is making my skin feels itchy so I chicken out and quickly swam back

pangkor laut resort 2023

The banana leaf served in cafe next to Emerald Bay is yummy!

pangkor laut resort 2023

Fish and chip is big portion and not bad

Back to our seaview room, wave washing over lots of rubbish including a big rice bag

The jellyfish like plankton which fills the beach of whole island during the time of our visit, making the water un-swimmable

pangkor laut resort 2023

At night we went to dinner buffet, selection is not great but we didn’t want to go to Uncle Lim restaurant again (which is too filling as the dishes are very big portion and can order only limited items)

The dinner buffet is surprisingly cheap which makes us think the resident package is not really a bargain. If we go again, will try to negotiate only 1 day resident package and 2nd night room only

Water is clear but lots of corals, only Emerald Bay’s beach on the other side of the island is swimmable, but too bad plankton filled it while we visited

Covered parking for 3 night is jeti at RM35/day!

Jia Fatt meesua, a landed house in Setaiwan, their mee SUA is nice

pangkor laut resort 2023

They sells different noodle. Start from RM 6 per pack, j bought Mee SUA and dried pan mee. Mee sua is nice, dried pan mee is usual. Be sure to drop by when going back to KL cos it just add 2km to the total journey back to KL.

We also went First Ocean trading to buy pangkor ikan bilis, they have 2 shop nearby, aanother must visit to get ikan bilis, adding just 3km to total journey.

This is bentong taufu pork stuffed with minced pork, not bad but the soup based tasted funny, like some chlorine smell

Tofu is nice, but the gravy is so so, can skip this egg tofu dish

Queing to go inside Genting premium outlets(GPO), just around 15-20 drive from bukit tinggi, quite happening with loads of people, also the place to take cable car

Overall, the steamed talapia with lala is must order, and can skip the egg tofu dishes, generally quite tasty, though some of us think the dishes is slightly not strong enough taste, which is fine by me, hope to visit Fantasy restaurant nearly.

Cost ~RM400 for 9 adults+2 kids

1. Zheng Kee chicken rice

Situated in Taman Kok Doh(Segambut), one of the better one out there, will def revisit on and off although it is really quite expensive

2..Restoran Riverview Small Village

This restaurant been around for ages, looks good but tasted just okay, don’t think any of the dishes warrant revisit, all taste abit MSG-y

3. Gu Xiang Pan Mee road side stall, Taman Kok Doh (just short walk away from zheng kee chicken rice)
Their pan mee is not quite nice, more memorable is their dessert: many variety at reasonable price and not too sweet, will revisit

4. Hainanese Chicken Rice 传统海南鸡饭

In Batu 4 Jln Ipoh

To me, this is very nice chicken rice, even overheard diner say this is best chicken rice in Jln ipoh & Sentul. It doesn’t need long wait like Zheng kee and cheaper. Must try!

jalan ipoh chicken rice

5. Jinjang pan mee

Have this since my primary school day, the dough is thicker and chewier, different from other pan mee, very nice, this stall can’t be found in Google map. They are open Monday-Saturday 2:30pm – 10pm. Same row as Tuaa Mark pan mee in Jinjang, must try!

6. 巷仔海南鸡饭 Street Hainan Chicken Rice Shop (Metro Prima)

the soy sauce underneath chicken is slightly sweet which does not sit well with me who prefer savoury, overall Taman Kok Doh Zheng Kee & Jln Ipoh batu 4 chicken rice is better than this one, although this one is visited by famed HK star

7. KL Four Season hotel’s Malaysia Boleh food court

the cendol here is among my top 3 (do ask them for less less sugar, cos less sugar is still like normal which is quite sweet), one con is parking in surrounding area is expensive, we normally park inside avenue K.

the wan tan mee is so so, the scoop-your-self green cili is the one attracted me to it four seasons kl food court four seasons kl food court four seasons kl food court

8. Restoran Argyle’s beef noodle. Google Map

overall, they are still quite generous with their beef portion, their broth is more light so might not be strong/flavourful enough for some, worth a tryjalan ipoh beef noodle jalan ipoh beef noodle

9. Miyatake Sanuki udon, google map

udon are quite heart in portion and yummy. Won’t say their chicken karaage is very nice but gotta try at least once, it is very tender and crispy, almost feel like you are eating fish and chips as it is quite big piece as well, I prefer karaage with more bite.mont kiara sanuki udon mont kiara sanuki udon mont kiara sanuki udon mont kiara sanuki udon

10. Nasi Lemak Angah, google map

overall, the nasi lemak is nice and generous portion(very generous with kacang and ikan bilis), price is relatively cheap as well which could explain the crowd, will revisitnasi lemak angah nasi lemak angah nasi lemak angah nasi lemak angah

11. Tuaa Mark pan mee, google map

Among the top pan mee in jinjang, quite nice, and very generous with my added shitake mushroom, but it just doesnt have the unique slight chew dough texture of my childhood-pan-mee just few shop away(which unfortunately don’t open on Sundays), but had to go to this Tuaa Mark instead. Maybe will try another pan mee in jinjang(Xiu Ye Mao)jinjang tuaa mark pan mee jinjang tuaa mark pan mee jinjang tuaa mark pan mee

12. Xiao Ye Mao pan mee, google map

We order big portion of noodle. The portion is big and taste ok(for my soup version). Whereas hubs give minus 2 stars for his gon1 lou1 version, he say the soy sauce is quite tasteless and he expected it to have his favourite anchovies. Overall won’t return for this. Online did recommend mixed curry version which we didn’t tryxiao ye mao jinjang pan mee xiao ye mao jinjang pan mee xiao ye mao jinjang pan mee

13. Tian Ya Ker pan mee in Chow Kit, google map

very nice pan mee, the dough is rolled by the strong old lady

14. Hidangan Mi HYT(Chinese shoplot selling tasty noodle dishes) in Jalan Ipoh

4, Jln Sultan Azlan Shah, Batu 4, Jln Ipoh, Taman Impian, 51200 Kuala Lumpur

Love their bread. Their soup(beef goulash, leek cream soup) comes with 3 types of bread sliced into 6 slices

The ham set: the ham not so tasty and quite salty
