After a hard working day and to find a place to chill, lands us at Bentley’s Pub at Nikko Hotel for the evening.

Nikko (2)

Bentley’s Pub is one of a typical English Pub that can be found in KL that decorated with timber paneling to offer warm cozy ambience, and furnish with large comfortable sofa seats which provides a relax ambiance to make it a good place to catch up with friends, business associates and of course a great place to watch World Cup 2010.

The bar counter dotted with high-stool chairs is the focal point with the beers pulled from the taps and countless selections of drinks available.

If you are a beer lover, you are going to love it here with some local and variety of international beer, with my personal favourite are:

Nikko (10)

A Germen Beer ‘Weihenstephan, Hefe-Weissbier Beer’ which is one of the oldest brewery in the world and ranked the best in Germany. I just love the taste of hazy amber, thick creamy white head, foamy lacing that drinks smooth and finishes almost crisp that drinking in such a hot weather is just perfect ended up me and Andrew were drinking a few bottles. Recommended`

Nikko (11)

‘Warsteiner, Premium Verum Bier’ is another Germen Beer that surprise me, that it is a non alcoholic beer, in  my fav list. The taste is fresh, uncommonly smooth taste with a brisk clean finish, till I cant really differentiate it until I turn to the back of bottle. For non alcoholic drinker, sure this is the beer to go after.

Be happy every day of the week. Come and have a good jolly time with friends and colleagues. Take advantage of the Happy Hours deal of Buy 1 Free 1, Mondays to Fridays, 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm. Citibank credit cardholders have more reasons to be happy with the all night long Happy Hours on every Monday and Wednesday.

If you find that bottles beer doesn’t come to your liking, then fear not, as they have draft beer available on bar ranging from Heineken, Kilkenny, Guinness, and Tiger.

Most of the time when I drive around, my eyes seems to be like very kaypo, will scout around what is around the area. One is for me to remember it so in the future if I need to go to that area I know what I can tell people or I can go there easily. Second would be hunting for food to eat and this restaurant had always caught my attention when I always travel back from 1-U area back to KL as its well lit up at night and with its dim classic look, and told myself it’s a place must hunt and try.

Not until recently, I got a called from my friend Ee Lune, invite me to help her photo shoot for that restaurant, hopefully the owner accept it. At first I do not know what restaurant is that not until I got the information about, Google it and get all excited when know its that restaurant.

Castell (3)

I love their restaurant setting with a bit old English style setting lit with orangey dim light that is very relaxing. A cup of beer in this restaurant is a must that I did not miss. Besides this area, on the upstairs they have a pool table and a mini bar perfect for those who love to watch soccer.

Castell (9)

The first serving of the day is ‘Mixed Grill’ which was serve in a huge plate and its full of ingredients, comes with sausage, lamb, beef, grill chicken and prawns. Its hard to shoot at first by takes me a while to find the right angle and this is the shot.

With its generous serving and comes with the price sure is no complain about it. Well prepared and it the best is the lamb, grill perfectly soft and tender and dip with the thick mint sauce is good.

Castell (10)

RM39

Castell (4)

Next is my choice of the day, ‘Stilton Special’ which is marinated in special sauce and grill it to perfection on medium as I prefer it topped with beef bacon and blue stilton cheese. The meat is so tender and juicy yet once cut it the juice flow out and wet the whole plate. Cut it into small slices spread the cheese on top and with another small cut of bacon eat together is top notch. If I have a glass of red wine, it would make me fly!

Highly recommended!

Castell (11)

Castell (7)

One of the signature dish in the restaurant is this huge big bone and meat ‘US Prime Rib’ served with steam potato with mince meat, corn and fresh salad. It is a huge bone with a huge slab of meat. Deeply marinated and grill on well control griller makes the meat juicy and tender, dip with their home made special sauce, I just would not mind to have this whole plate by myself.

Castell (12)

To end the great meal must come with a desert, ‘Coffee Hot Fudge’ RM12.90

Castell (13)

Castell (14)

‘Hazelnut Friands’ RM8.90
After the whole shooting, I get to taste on the dish that they have prepared. Certainly the dish here is top-quality and I do not mind to come here again for second round becauseeeeeeee they have:

Happy Hour 3pm-8pm

Tiger BeerRM9 (per glass), RM30 (per Jug)
Guinness draftRM20 (1 pint), RM50 (3 pint)

The restaurant is overshadowing by the overhead bridge in front of it. Therefore not many people do drop by and currently its they have a new owner.

I have been reading a lot of status this morning, yeah, I know its hard to drag our ass to work since most of the people start to work today yet with very heavy Chinese New Year Mood and bombard with tons of work after a few days off, its kinda pain in the ass. Since now I am at Penang, let me start off with Penang Street Food first. Lebuh Kimberly hawker center had always been my all time favorite area to eat which I had been long time did not visit this place. Its a very cheap place to eat in.

Sua Tau Keh

It is usually pack with local crowds after 7.30pm. It is advisable to go early or if you would want to enjoy the local feel with standing and waiting for tables and manning your area then anytime would be good. Most of the hawkers here had been operating for more than 10 years already and its had been a signature area.

Sua Tau Keh (2)

Let’s start off with the street famous Char Koey Teow. In this stall, its famous that you can add on additional item, such as Mantis Prawn, Chinese Sausage, Duck egg or prawns. It is best that they uses charcoal to fried, the taste would be different.

Sua Tau Keh (3)

This is my plate of ‘Char Koey Teow add with Duck Egg and Mantis Prawn’. Perfectly fried, dried and a bit sticky yet with wok hei and duck egg build in different aroma in it, is something which I expect. RM5

Sua Tau Keh (4)

Next a stall which I would not miss is the ‘Tong Sui Stall’. Cost RM1-RM3.50

Sua Tau Keh (5)

‘Almond Soup Tong Sui’ is the signature of this stall. Not many people enjoy the taste of it but I have learn the fair taste, very thick in almond taste, not very watery yet add on with the yau char kuih, I can just still imagine the taste of it. Good for health as what I have been told by my grandmother when I was young.

Sua Tau Keh (6)

Next is the ‘Cham’ I always had too. Clear tasty non very sweet tong sui base that goes along very well after eating of so many street food.

Sua Tau Keh (7)

‘Red Bean Soup’ that had been boild to build up the aroma yet the bean is not soft and a bit solid as that is how the preserve the tasty’ness of it.

Sua Tau Keh (8)

Heading to next stall is the ‘Koay Teow Soup’, again as not only they sell only the noodle yet you can add on additional dish with their famous signature ‘Cham’ (consist of egg, chicken feet, pig intestine and taufu) or if you do not like som eof the item, you can just order randomly.

Sua Tau Keh (9)

‘Dry Koey Teow’ taste quite good, not very salty as expected yet the koey teow is silky smooth yet a bit oily make it taste good. RM3

Sua Tau Keh (19)

One of my favorite ‘Pig Intestine’, been boil and steam very very soft, yet very juicy when bite it as the watery home cook soup soy base had made it very aromatic.

Sua Tau Keh (10)

Another stall which is very famous with local folks is this stall that you must not miss. ‘Kuih Chap’ that serve with homemade kuih style as noodle base yet add in all the Duck spare part in it. Besides their famous signature, they also do serve porridge which is a top notch too.

Sua Tau Keh (11)

can add on this part if you like.

Sua Tau Keh (12)

This are all the ingrediants that going to add into the bowl.

Sua Tau Keh (13)

Here comes my very ‘Kuih Chap’ with all the duck spare part.

Sua Tau Keh (14)

With the home made kuih that replace noodle which is a must for ‘Kuih Chap’. I just miss this alot, very aromatic soup base that filled with duck and salty taste yet the meat of the duck is very soft, and my mouth watering meal. 1 bowl is enough to kill me off. Small RM5

Sua Tau Keh (15)

Another stall that I discover which is the ‘Belacan Fried Chicken’ which walk a bit further down from that 3 stalls.

Sua Tau Keh (16)

Sua Tau Keh (17)

Deep fried as very crispy on the edge, yet the chicken meat is very filled with belacan taste as I buy it hot from the wok.

Sua Tau Keh (18)

One of the thing I fell in love with this stall is the ‘Deep Fried Salted Fish Taufu’. Although its not similiar like ‘Chou Taufu’ but it something I love. Deep fried till the outer layer is solid yet when you bite on it, you can taste the softness of the taufu yet salted fish aroma is there and dip with the chili sauce given, is something I could not ask for. RM 2-RM 3 sell in 10 pieces.

This is one of my favorite Penang Street Food area. Recommended~

Every year after Christmas and New Year most of us the rest will turn on our Chinese New Year mood already with all the shopping mall converting to CNY deco but this year, Chinese New Year mood came to me very early as heading to my very first stop, to try out CNY menu at Four Season Restaurant(Non-Halal).

4Season

4Season (2)

Nice Chinese contemporary designs to add on the ambiance of the restaurant.

4Season (3)

The food in the menu looks good and the price is quite reasonable.

4Season (5)

This is how Ken on site, showing his new ka chan…’Boi Tahan ah’~~~ lol~

4Season (6)

I like the ‘Chili Oil’ very much as in when added to the meal, it brings up the extra fragrance on it. Not very spicy yet a bit salty.4Season (7)

4Season (8)

‘Special Four Seasons Hong Kong Style Poon Choi’

4Season (9)

4Season (10)

When the pot cover opens up, we were so excited that pun choi is filled with prawns, scallops, peas, broccoli, sea cucumber and some other ingredients. Our chopstick is there, and have to say waiitttttt..take picture first, as everyone is staring at it waiting to eat it with the aroma flying through our nose. Surely this is 100 times better than the pun choi I ate at Yin Ker Lou and more worth it.

4Season (11)

‘Four Seasons Roasted Duck’ filled our mouth with juicy and tender duck meat yet the saltiness level is there and add on with some chili oil is just perfect as we hope we could have another plate.

4Season (13)

Followed by ‘Crispy Pork’

4Season (14)
and ‘Char Siew’

4Season (15)
‘Waxed Meat Rice in Hot Pot’ cooking at the bottom of the rice, with making the base a bit burn and crispy then stir it around to make it evenly that I love it filled with Chinese sausage.

4Season (16)

4Season (17)I have always drink soya bean and love sea coconut but I have never thought that this 2 when mix together it would be so nice. ‘Double Boiled Sea Coconut with Soya Bean’

It was a great nice trying out nice dishes and a great start for CNY mood and this is not the only set we try, as for family reunion dinner or ‘Sau Gong Jau’ can always be in here too with the set menu as below.. Richard, I have to say thank you for arranging everything.

Concept kopitiam industry had been a boom at the moment. You can just see every where or corner is filled with different name and concept that they have. After Old Town, I believe Pappa Rich is one of their very next competitor. By hearing saying that the food is not bad, and my parents thought of something light to eat, so decided to choose this 1.

Compare to Old Town, I liked their interior design more, gives you comfy feeling and surely a great place to hang out.
When I look into the drinks menu, the name of the drink ‘Longan Milk Honey Ice’ caught my attention on ordering it. Something unique. A warning to those who have obesity. Please do not order this. The drink is damm sweet. It feels like you are drinking sugar syrup. I only manage to drink a few sips. That’s all. If the sugar lvl decrease by 70%, I think it would surely taste nice. RM6.90

When this ‘Roti Steam Kaya’ was served to my dad, my impression was, roti Bangkali(an Indian with the motorcycle selling bread) is served. Nothing special on this yet it cost RM4.50.

‘Nissin Noodle Fried Sausage n Chicken’ was my order. It is the far most plain ever dish that I have eaten in a restaurant which you can just cook yourself at home. Tasteless yet watery and the vegie did not wash clean. Cost RM 7.90 which I think is very expensive compare to those in Kim Garry or other Hong Kong restaurant or Old Town.
My mom was a very chin chai person when comes to food, but she irk about this ‘Mee Soup Foo Chuck n Fish Cake’ which is very salty. She said that its like eating a bowl of salt which I also tried, its really like putting your mouth taste some sea water. RM8.90
My bro had this ‘Pappa Chicken Chop’ and only one word for this. No comment or simply plain! RM15.90
‘Pappa Cendul’ Talking about cendul, thought that with its classy look of the restaurant and the serving of desert wouldn’t be disappointing yet it proves me correct. The ice did not blend very smooth, yet when you put it your mouth is like ice crush. If directly swallow, chances of throat damage might happen. The gula Melaka is very sweet which put too much. The santan taste a bit weird. Did not finish also. RM5.50
‘Tau Foo Fa Tong Yuen’ always remain one of my big time favorite. For this case, I just don like the taste of its soya. The skin of the tong yuen is too thick like eating flour than the filling in it!RM5.90 till the end, I still think the 1 in pasar malam taste much better than this.
My family and I had most disappointing meal and I would rate worst ever eaten so far yet with the price tag on each of the meal and drinks, its overprice and also have to pay gov tax and service charge. Definately BANNED this branch. Would not return anymore.
Maybe would try other outlets, since there are a few of my friends saying that they taste much better than Old Town but still prefer Old Town alot.

Sunway Pyramid,(old wing)
Lower Ground (ice skating wing)

In our package to Redang, food was included. Can say that the food is worst than the food in my company canteen.
Arrival of Day 1 lunch:
The vegie is tasteless. Have to add soy sauce on myself to bring up the taste a bit.
The fish is not really fresh and the tomato in the meal is just more like a decoration rather than the taste.

Fried Wantan with our rice?seems abit weird. Eating more of the skin rater than then the meat in it~

The ABC soup is more like a hot water and just chuck in the rest of the ingredient and leave it to boiling point and then ready to be serve.

The Curry Chicken is thick in sauce but mild in flavour. Cant really pick up the gravy from it as it is thick! The chicken is slightly over cook.

Day 1 Seafood Dinner:


The chicken wing in s not bad, as they are well kept on fire temperature to pangang it~

The lamb was a bit disappointed because it is very chewy and hard to bite offf. More like the meat is overcook and tasteless!

Normal sausage. Just that for breakfast~

Didnt even bother to try cuz just normal fish ball as my friend said.

Cant take beef. So no Idea.

The food gravy is nice. Well wrap but just that wrap not enough compact the sauce can just season abit and sock it in~

Day 2 : Morning Breakfast

Normal sial Maggie Hon…
