Leo's, a trendy cafe, the place to see and to be seen, offers a unique lifestyle concept in the food and beverage industry. This uniqueness is based on its innovative & creative selection menu for the current food trend, coffee, pastry and in-house made Gelato (Italian ice cream).

For such a trendy place, the prices are not cheap as you are paying for the comfort and ambience. This lime coke that I ordered costs RM3.80.

After opening it, there is a Zodiac Discovery Card which have a write up of each of the Zodiac Sign. For my Zodiac Sign which is Gemini, there is a more details one attached.

According to the write up, Gemini - The Twins are enigmatic and diverse. The sign is linked with Mercury, the planet of childhood and youth and tend to have the graces of young. Like children, they are lively, happy and imaginative. They take up new activities enthusiastically. Often attracting and charming others to follow suit.

In short, Gemini is adaptable and versatile. Communicative and witty. Intellectual and eloquent. Youthful and lively.

That is me according to my Zodiac. Do I have any semblance of it. Well, I would say it is 80% correct in describing my character.

There is also an invitation card for me to collect this free gift from Ogawa which I collected from Ogawa/Subang Parade after dinner at Pizza Hut. What is this little stuff.? Kenny Ng has received one some week back and he has blog about it. This small little pillow is called Healthy Zouidgie and it come with a mini massager using AA battery. You put the massager inside the mini pillow and can do wonders like promotes blood circulation, restores freshness, reduces fatigue, calms stress, soothes aches and adds excitement(what excitement!). This small mini massage pillow can do so much why we need the massage chair which costs thousands.

This afternoon while on the way to USJ Taipan, my friend told me this joke about street kids. He said this is joke is about a father advice to his son.

Father: Son, you better study hard otherwise you will be in the street.

Son.: Father, what about those policeman always on the street, you mean they never study hard oso ah. I then can be a policeman if I don't study hard.

I like to eat and try out new places whether I read it in the papers, blogs, magazines, word of mouth etc or see it on TV. I have been passing by this restaurant whenever I am around Damansara Utama or Uptown. I like to eat Hokkien Mee and their big signboard have got "Hokkien Mee" as their main branding so I guess this shop must be famous for its hokkien mee.

On Monday, I invited my friend for dinner and I actually wanted to eat the famous claypot rice at Damansara Jaya but is was closed. So, I told my friend we go try a new place at DU. Thats how we landed here.

This place have got a nice menu showing all their recommended noodles fried in many styles (Hokkien, Cantonese etc). Normally you wont get such menu at other Hokkien mee shop.

We ordered Hokkien Mee (RM5.00) and Cantonese friend kuey teow(RM5.00).Both are very good and yummy. We finished those two plates very quickly. And it started to rain quite heavily. So we sat down to enjoy the Chinese tea.

To my suprise, this duck taste really good with its unique freshly roasted taste (with a little herbal). Loong Foong or Sunrise Roast Duck are good with their own style and taste, this one is as good. If you are looking for food at DU area, go try it. This place is open for business for dinner only.

So put those car keys & remote controller on the night table now!

The MITM Travel fair was held at the PWTC from June 22-24th, 2007 with the theme "The Greatest Tourism Carnival 2007.

It is not the Greatest after visiting it. This MITM Fair 2007 is very much smaller as compared to the MATTA fair. It only occupied 2 floors and the number of booths are also lesser. I was there to inquire about packages to Xiamen, JiuZaiGuo or Chengdu-Yangtze(3 Gorges) as the price advertised was between RM1699.00 - RM1999.00. My 3 sisters and my family plan to go on holidays together during Nov-Dec 2007.

After checking out with few of the travel agents, the advertised prices are valid till August or for some till October 2007 only. The prices for Nov-Dec 2007 are peak period and it costs Rm1,000.00-RM2,000.00++ more. All this prices are excluding airport taxes, tipping, Visa fees and many others which can costs up to RM700+. Since the peak prices are way out of our budgets, I did not book any and look like our plan may not be come true.

The best deal that I noticed at the the fair is to Shanghai & Shenzhen/Hongkong from RM899++ and RM699++ onwards respectively. Add another RM400+ for the others charges, it is still a good deal.

Yut Kee is one of the few places left that brings warm memories to those who lived through the birth of the country. It is more than 70 yaers old and still going strong. The Kedai Makanan Yut Kee Restaurant, Kuala Lumpur is a Hainanese restaurant, which serves good Chinese and quite spacious. The huge windows allow a lot of natural light and air into the restaurant premises. The décor is simple and casual. The tables have marble tops an adds to the beauty of the restaurant.
This restaurant is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your food in a comfortable manner. Their service is also very fast. You do not have to wait long for your foods and also very fast in clearing up your table for the waiting customers.

This morning on the way to MITM Travel Fair at PWTC, I took my family (their 1st time there) to this restaurant. We left our home early at 9.15am and reached there around 9.35am. Luckily, the place is still not so crowded, we managed to get a table without having to queue.

What are the customer at the next table looking at?????????

The Long Listing of Menu on the Board

We have read in the major newpapers today about the fiery exchange between Nazri and Opposition Leader, Lim Kit Siang. To see the actual commotion at the Dewan Rakyat where the words used are very childish language in my opinion. They are our elected representatives but you see how they debate. It is a shame on the way they conduct the debate. How they can be a role model to the younger generations if you behave like that at the Parliment House. It look like a primary school debate! Hope it will not become like in Taiwan where fracas happened.

O & S Restaurant is one the more popular restaurant in PJ being in business for a longtime and many foodstall there serving nice hawker foods. During my college days, I used to stay at Paramount Garden and the restaurant is already there. This is famous for the Prawn Mee, Fish Head Noodles, Egg Tarts and many others. During the nite, the Hokkien Mee here is also one of the best.

While waiting for my car to be ready at V-Kool, I dropped by here to eat the Fish Head Mee Hoon from this stall (Just next to prawn mee stall).

The milky soup is very nice and the fish are fresh. RM3.50 a bowl.

Look closer what are the ingredients?

Today, I sent my car to V-Kool Main Office for some warranty defect claim as my V-Kool tinted film at my front windscreen have got some wrinkle.

I went to V-Kool on Monday after finding out that the warranty will expires on August 24, 2007.The warranty from V-Kool is 5 years. They fixed for me the appointment today at 10.00am.

If the warranty has lapsed, the cost would have been easily RM800.00 for just the front windscreen. I must as well get it re-tinted asap.

Thinking that it will be an hour job but it ended up 3 hours. I got to wait there like a fool. I called up my friend to come to take me to Fish Head Noodles Soup at Paramount Garden O & S Restaurant to kill some time and walked across the V-Kool office to look at some furniture at HomeLife.

This kind of job can be a real waste of time. Time is money! No-Wifi at their customer service area. I cannot do work on my lap top and therefore read all the newspapers (Chinese and English) provided there.

After my visit to EPF @ Jalan Gasing, my colleague and I went to this famous Raju Curry House for lunch. Both of has not eaten banana leaf rice for quite sometime and therefore hop in nearby for one of the best in PJ. I forgot to bring my cam so no picture to publish. The above picture I took it from backstreet gluttons site(thanks).

Raju's, Jln Chantek, PJ ( Sri Paandi's next door nemesis ) is located at a big corner lot with a lot big trees to provide a good shade from the sun and a good ambience for eating banana leaf rice. The crowd there is unbelievable crowd wth continuous flow of customers.

We ordered two sets of banana leaf rice(RM4.50/ea), 2 ikann bulus(RM10.00), 1 tenggeri fish(RM4.50), 1 fried chicken(RM4.50), 1 ice lemon tea(RM1.50) and 1 air bandung(RM1.40)

The bitter sweet fish and chicken curries are just nice and tasty. The on the spot fried succulent fish are almost to perfection. But the chicken which is cook using the pressure cooker is not so good as it is very dry and hard. I would prefer it to be deep fired in oil.

This place customer service is one of the best as the number of waiters there is plenty and when you have ordered you foods, some waiter will bring some mutton, fish cakes etc and offer to you.
Don't fall for it as it is very tempting unless you have order very little of you main dish.

Banana leaf affiair is not cheap. The bill came up to around RM32.00 for 2 pax.
