I was in the exact mood to munch something, and this stall chanced to heave in sight. Don and I decided to purchase a packet of fried durian that consisted of only four pieces at RM6.00. It was definitely way overpriced, but it’s up on top of a mountain, so I can’t possibly expect too much. More importantly, I needed food!

Anyway, I wouldn’t say it was good. It wasn’t bad either, to be honest. The taste was there, the crispiness was just right because it was freshly fried, but it wasn’t real and convincing enough to worth the money spent. It would still be a good snack though, compared to some of the other stalls that sell cheap stuff at ridiculously high price.

It was some time before 8.00am when we arrived at the restaurant, because we wanted to queue earlier for the admission tickets to the theme park, and our hotel was quite near to Hainan Kitchen Restaurant. And so, the restaurant was still quite empty. The crowds started to appear bit by bit after 8.00am, when we were about to leave.These were probably one of the most pricey breakfast sets I have ever eaten in my entire life. RM11.90 for one breakfast set that came together with a cup of coffee, toast with butter and kaya, and two half-boiled eggs. Our wallets were definitely crying! Fortunately though, quality wise, everything was still within the standard.The Black Coffee tasted just like a cup of Black Coffee. Nothing special about it.I was quite surprised to see that the toast actually came together with butter and kaya, instead of margarine. It’s just like any other toasts that can be found in any kopitiam in Kuala Lumpur, but way overpriced.

In Genting Highlands, this would be a good place for a typical breakfast regardless of its ridiculous prices. Since I don’t travel to this top of the mountain that often, I might consider returning to the same place again someday, mainly because I have always loved simple breakfast like this.

It has been a while since the day I started to have strong craving for Mille Crepe. The ones available at Ochado are never in my list, but since Don and I were killing time at Sunway Pyramid, we decided to give it a try to avoid boredom.Usually, we would go for any kind of milk tea. This time in particular, we were on an adventurous mode, so we decided to try Grape Yogurt Aloe Vera Tea. I loved to bite the aloe vera lying underneath, but once is just enough for the cup of drink. I personally dislike the feeling my throat was having then, just because of the tea.Unfortunately, Vanilla Mille Crepe was sold out, so we had no choice but to order Chocolate Mille Crepe instead. I thought it wasn't worth the penny. I would usually prefer to feel the layers of crepes as I bite it, but this piece of Chocolate Mille Crepe was slightly too sticky and not something I would want to eat ever again.

I have heard of positive comments about the milk tea offered by Ochado, so I guess I should just stick to it and forget about any other drinks available.

Basically, K3K is an abbreviation of Kwai Sam Kee, literally translated as K3K Kopitiam. "Sam" means three in Cantonese, by the way. The idea of setting up K3K Benta Kaya came from Ho Kwai Sam, a man who used to tap rubber and operate a grocery to earn a living. It was inspired by the strenuous efforts of the rubber tappers in getting a good cuppa and bread to go with before work. After 50 years of history at Benta, Kuala Lipis, Pahang, K3K Benta Kaya opened its first branch in Damansara Perdana, and expanded its business to Subang Jaya, Bukit Tinggi, Klang, Kuchai Lama, and etc. – Edited from K3K Benta Kaya, Malaysia (http://k3kbentakaya.blogspot.com/)I don't usually do this. I was completely insane to order a cup of Hot Soya Honey Ginger with extra sugar. Needless to say, I regretted. It tasted so bitter that I had to mix almost every mouthful of it with some kaya in my mouth before I swallowed.Halfway through our dinner, Don decided to order another cup of drink consisting of coconut milk, sago, and red beans if I am not mistaken. Both of us couldn't quite remember its name, and it was nowhere to be found on the worldwide web. I guess it was good, or at least better than Hot Soya Honey Ginger, judging from my recall of intention to jokingly exchange our drinks.Kaya Char Kuih! Just by looking at the picture shown on the menu, we pretty much drooled. Prepared and tasted similarly to our traditional You Tiao, K3K Benta Kaya served it together with their homemade kaya. Although the combination of sweetness and saltiness may be weird, I thought it was unique, and it could have been perfect if the amount of sugar used for their kaya could be reduced.Apparently, Penghulu Fried Chicken with Rice was listed as one of the chef recommendations on the menu, and I have seen plenty of positive comments from several bloggers as I went through the internet for more information. Fried to perfection, the fried chicken was crunchy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Dip it into the bowl of curry that was not spicy with strong taste of coconut milk, and it will be perfect.

It is, nevertheless, not advisable for people who concern about weight and health.My Curry Chicken Rice was very ordinary, to be frank. Still, I loved how K3K Benta Kaya served their meals with a small bunch of Mamak Style Fried Cabbage each to sort of balance the nutrition.

I know I will definitely return one day, perhaps another brunch, because I have yet to try their side dishes that tempted me so badly during my visit. Price wise, it's similar to other cafes like PappaRich, In House Cafe, and etc. Be sure to give it a try!

It wasn't my first visit to Matsuba Japanese Restaurant at Syopz, a building in the campus that offers a unique blend of retail and food and beverages outlets. Matsuba Japanese Restaurant seems to be one of the best available places in the campus among the other 23 outlets, which explains my return for lunch together with my friend, Kah Mun.As usual, I ordered a Tamago Maki as snack, although my meal was filling enough. It wasn't as good as a sushi. It was nothing compared to those sold in Sakae Sushi or Rakuzen. It was slightly too pricy at RM2.50 per box per six pieces. It was just something more affordable that solved my craving.

Nuff said.If I'm not mistaken, I was attacked by sore throat then. Instead of killing myself with a bowl of Chicken Katsu Don, I ordered Oyako Don at RM12.90, which the chicken was never fried, and mushrooms were added, topped with an egg that did not act as perfectly as an icing on a cake but still better than none.

For a person who never likes sashimi like me, I personally think that Matsuba Japanese Restaurant does not have a wide selection of food. I have been to this restaurant for no less than five times in total, and to date, my orders were always between Chicken Katsu Don and Oyako Don. Their Curry Rice is recommended too, if you are fine with curry with zero spiciness.

Hm.
