If you really want take your encounter with mother nature to the next level, you can participate in the Fun Hour at Entopia Penang. In our previous trip to Entopia Penang, we were really astounded by the mesmerising Natureland-a beautiful living garden vivarium as well as The Cocoon which is a self discovery learning exhibition. However, you can enjoy an even more intimate close up experience with nature. Yupe! This is another activity in Entopia that I highly recommend everyone to join. Essentially during this Fun Hour, you will be able to get up close and personal with nature both flora and fauna.Fun Hour at Entopia Penang-Crawlies AliveWe are ready to meet the crawlies!The 4 Different Activities of Fun Hour at Entopia PenangThere are altogether 4 different activities of Fun Hour at Entopia Penang that visitors especially family and children can join. You will have the Bug's Kitchen, Bugs Breeder: Backsage, My Butterfly Garden and Crawlies Alive. Each of the Fun Hour activities will be designated on different days. You can visit Entopia's official website to find out what Fun Hour you will be able to enjoy during your next visit to this mystical garden. As for us, our Fun Hour at Entopia revolves around creatures that can crawl...Well! At least most of them. 😂 The following are the information of the 4 different activities that you can take part in:We are listening attentively to the instructionsHonestly we did not know what to expect. It was mentioned that we could pet at least 4 of the Entopia crawlies. Meaning that we could experience close encounters and touch the creatures that are roaming in Entopia. We had not got the slightest clue what our fingers would be touching. For starter, the person in charge explained to us in details about what we would be going through and the first task involves our sense of smell. We were asked to identify the different food inside 3 containers with our nose. This sniffing job might be challenging if you are not exposed to a variety of food for pets.It is time to test your noseFirst easy task would be scents identification*Sniff Sniff*What did you smell?These 3 containers hold food for different the different creatures in EntopiaDuring our session of Fun Hour at Entopia Penang, 5 children took part to get up close and personal with crawlies. Up next was the real task for the day. Each of them (including Jordan and Jasmine) was asked to place their hand inside an aquarium covered black papers. The children were understandably hesitant and perhaps a bit terrified. What if the creatures bit them? The person in charge assured them that it would be perfectly safe. Eventually all the children gritted their teeth and placed their vulnerable hands "into the unknown". 😂What do you think are inside these enclosuresDo you dare to reach inside?Jasmine girl was actually quite scared. 😂We were asked to guess what we had touched and obviously no one knew. When the black cover was removed, we were dumbfounded to learn that we had been touching cockroaches *yikes*! Of course we did not touch those pesky, dirty household cockroaches that are infesting our houses. We touched the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches which were rather adorable. They were of course very huge and surprisingly clean without any unpleasant odor. These wingless Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches will hiss to mate or when they are being aggressive. Interestingly a lot of people across the world keep them as pets.Madagascar Hissing CockroachAren't they adorable?Can we keep one as a pet?The next crawlies that we petted was a pair of Thorny Stick Insect. It was interesting to note the huge female was light green in colour while its smaller and skinny male counterpart was brown in colour. Yours truly me had a fun time, letting them crawl over my body. Since these two thorny stick insects were relatively big and of course thorny, our children were intimidated to allow these insects to crawl on them. Do note that its "thorns" can get hooked to your clothes, so make sure you handle them gently. If you love these thorny stick insects, you will be happy to know that they are commonly kept as pets as well.Thorny Stick InsectsCan you guess which is the female and which is the male?It's ok these Thorny Stick Insects won't biteLook at its legsAfter our encounter with the pair of insects, we came face to face with the venomous tarantula. Yeah we were going to touch a tarantula which might sink its fangs to inject venom into our body. BUT...Do not be alarmed as the venom is mild and secondly if you handle the tarantula gently and with respect, everything would be fine. It was quite an amazing experience for us to allow huge spider to crawl on our hand and arms. In fact we were actually more worried about not dropping it off the table as it might get injured.TarantulaYou have to handle a tarantula with extra careJordan boy seemed to be quite comfortable with the tarantulaIt is crawling up your way 😂Make sure you don't touch its abdomen or else...The finale and highlight of the day for our Fun Hour at Entopia Penang was the largest amongst all the crawlies that we had petted. Introducing the Ball Python aka Royal Python which is native to Africa. As it was neither venomous nor thorny, handling the ball python was relatively easier. It felt really surreal and awesome to let the bally python wriggle around your arms, shoulders and neck. You would feel its cold, smooth and silky scales as it wrapped itself around you. It could even double up as a handbag. LOL 😂 Certainly, it would be truly fascinating to have a serpent as your pet, no?Ball Python-The Star for our Fun Hour at EntopiaJordan boy and his new slithering friendJasmine was quite fascinated by the pythonWifey with her new Ball Python HandbagAn adult ball python will usually grow till a maximum of 5 feetHow do you feel Jordan boy?Before we left, we were given a parting gift each-eggs for Thorny Stick insects. If you are on vacation Pulau Penang, make sure you visit Entopia. And if you are in Entopia, don't forget to join this rewarding Fun Hour for RM18 only. Though you will need to pay extra on top of the admission fee, it will worth every single penny as we can experience being closer to mother nature's creation in fun and educational way.

Entopia Penang Butterfly Farm Review

If you are in Penang, then you really need to pay Entopia a visit. Entopia Penang is arguably one of the most highly recommended places for you and your family to be. It is one of the most highly rated attractions both on TripAdvisor and Google Review. During our latest visit to the island, we made sure that we will not miss this awesome attraction. We arrived quite early at 9:00a.m. to ensure that we would be the first ones to step into this wonder of Penang. Yupe! Entopia Penang is not just another normal tourist attraction, but a learning hub that will let young and old acquire valuable knowledge and experience. There is literally so much to see and learn while you are in Entopia.Entopia Penang Butterfly Farm ReviewEntopia Penang Ticket Price

The moment we arrived at Entopia, we were astounded by its enormous scale and size. For the record, we spent around 3 hours in Entopia and it was definitely time well spent, especially for our kids. Brought to you by Penang Butterfly Farm, you will be mistaken if you think that Entopia is merely just another run-of-the-mill butterfly farm. In fact, Entopia Penang is not just a sanctuary for butterflies, but also a paradise for various insects, arachnids, and reptiles just to name a few.Welcome to Entopia PenangDo note that Entopia Penang consists of 2 different worlds! Wait! What? Yes, in Entopia visitors will have the opportunity to visit The Natureland (living outdoor gardens) and The Cocoon (indoor discovery center). That was why I have mentioned that my family and I spent around 3 hours immersing ourselves in the wonders of nature. Do you know that there are more than 150 species of fauna and at least 200 species of flora residing in Entopia? Yes, I guess you could say that it is one of nature's largest classrooms and discovery hubs that you could stumble upon in Penang.The Natureland of Entopia PenangThe moment we stepped into Entopia, we were already dumbfounded by how enormous this living garden vivarium is. Being the biggest butterfly garden in Malaysia, you will be surrounded by an astounding 15,000 free-flying butterflies at any one time. Made of up to 60 different species, these butterflies fluttered gracefully in the air, inviting us to join them in their whimsical dance. It was truly a magnificent sight to see so many butterflies flapping their colourful wings and land from one flower to the other.Pacman Frog?Can you spot the snake?Where's the spider...This recreated natural habitat is not just for the winged insects, but also home to many other invertebrates and reptiles. You would be able to see a lot of rare creatures that you would normally only be able to learn from your books or TV shows. From the tiny frogs to the supposedly vicious snapping alligator turtles, you will be amazed to get up close to nature's creation. Apart from that, Jordan and Jasmine were very thrilled to see the alien-like horseshoe crabs and the majestic iguanas which were "sunbathing" or lamp-bathing. LOL 😂 Of course one of the most iconic landmarks in the Natureland of Entopia Penang has got to be the majestic Home Tree which looked like something from Avatar if you ask me.It's time to explore EntopiaButterflies are everywhere in Natureland EntopiaDo you like butterflies?Apparently, butterflies love pineappleThe iconic Home Tree behind usWaterfallFamily photos at Entopia will be really pricelessOrchidsSunbathing Iguana...or "lampbathing"Horseshoe crab!Snapping alligator turtleBeautiful pair of mandarin ducksCelebrate Vita Nova With The Release of ButterfliesWe also saw a pair of beautiful mandarin ducks happily eating their food in their equally eye-catching enclosure.  All of our encounters were made even more beautiful thanks to the 200 species of plants that decked around the serene waterfalls, ponds, and caves. At around 12p.m. noon at the main entrance, we got to celebrate 'Vita Nova' (New Life) by releasing newly-emerged butterflies. Honestly speaking this activity was really magical in the sense that we got to witness with our very own eyes the very first flight of the butterflies. It was like we helped them to turn into beautiful butterflies as they spread their wings and took to the skies. This would certainly be an unforgettable moment for you in Entopia Penang.It's Vita Nova session AKA New LifeWaiting to get our very own butterfliesIt's time to release our butterfliesJasmine girl the Butterflies whispererThe butterflies sure loved her a lot 😍This butterfly refused to leave herJordan boy and his butterflyJoin the Butterfly RaceBesides releasing your very own butterflies, you can also join the Butterfly Race to "hunt down" butterflies. Don't worry as no butterflies will be hurt in the process. No nets will be used in our hunt but instead, we will be using our cameras to snap photos of these butterflies. Taking place in David's Garden, we strolled in the garden to identify and snap photos of 6 different butterflies. After that, all you need to do is show the photos to the person in charge to win a limited edition gift. We won a beautiful postcard after we had successfully "captured" photos of 6 designated butterflies. It was quite a race as we needed to peel our eyes a little bit to search for the elusive butterflies.Let's search for our butterflies in this Butterly RaceChecking our photos to see if we have "captured" the correct butterfliesThe Cocoon-A Whole New WorldJust when we thought that our breathtaking journey had come to an end, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a whole new world-The Cocoon. Yupe! The Cocoon is an indoor exhibition in Entopia Penang that allows you to discover even more wonders of the world. It features 2 floors of learning exhibitions and indoor activities that will surely be an eye-opener for you. Besides Jordan and Jasmine, both my wife and I also learned a lot from this indoor discovery centre. Designed to let you explore the world of the invertebrates, rest assured that the various interactive educational stations will be a boon for children and adults alike.The Entopia MapWelcome to The CocoonBuzzing BeesWhat do you see?What's inside?Jordan boy and...the poop 😂Silkworm 101Mommy and her beloved two babiesOne for the albumMy wife said the backdrop is beautiful.I said, "You made the backdrop look beautiful!"I love this exhibition!

4 Flavours of Wonda Coffee Malaysia Day Edition

Today marks our annual Malaysia Day which celebrates the formation of Malaysia which saw the unification of Malaya, North Borneo (Sabah), Sarawak and the Singapore. To celebrate this historic day, Wonda Coffee Malaysia has unveiled 4 different flavours of coffee. These 4 limited edition of coffee variants are also released in conjunction with the international coffee day next month (1st of October). So have you already tasted these 4 flavours of coffee?

Nothing beats indulging in good blends of coffee

When I first stumbled upon these 4 different flavours of coffee from Wonda, I was pleasantly surprised. So instead of the usual blend of coffee such as latte, black coffee or cappuccino, we could now taste coffee from different places. Since these coffee are meant to celebrate Malaysia Day, hence coffee from 4 different states had been handpicked for us to indulge in. The 4 states whose coffee have been selected by Wonda Coffee are Penang, Sarawak, Johor and Kelantan. Honestly I think this idea is really interesting and fun.

4 Flavours of Wonda Coffee To Celebrate Malaysia Day

1. Johor Edition: Dark roast with smoky bitterness

2. Kelantan Edition: Charcoal roasted with nutty flavour

3. Penang Edition: Light roast with milky flavour.

4. Sarawak Edition: Full bodied with slight bitterness

Yours truly me had enjoyed all 4 flavours of these limited edition Wonda Coffee. Honestly speaking I love all four of the variants as each of them is distinctively unique and flavourful. But I really have to choose then my pick would be the Kelantan edition which is charcoal roasted with nutty flavour. Perhaps I love the scent of the charcoal roasted coffee beans and the nutty taste which comes with it. Still all four are equally enjoyable and if you are a coffee lover like me, it is time to get a bit adventurous and try out these 4 different flavours.

Collect all 4 flavours of the Malaysia Day Edition Wonda Coffee at the following outlets:

WONDA JOHOR Edition Coffee at Kedai Mesra Petronas.

Mekdi-There Is Not Place Like It

We have just celebrated our 63rd Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) and right in the heart of every Malaysian is McDonald's Malaysia or more fondly known as Mekdi. This year marks the 38th anniversary of 'McD' in our country. The very first Mekdi signage made its debut in Bukit Bintang last year (2019) and now McDonald's Malaysia is proudly showing off the 'Mekdi' signage at 16 selected restaurants across various states in our country. Yep! Mekdi is ours-it belongs to all Malaysians. 😙

This idea of localizing the brand name McDonald's was a way to thank Malaysians for their continuous support for the quick service restaurant chain since it first arrived in our country 38 years ago. So Malaysians have cast their votes to choose their preferred McDonald's restaurants across the country to bear the very Malaysian name for their favourite fast food restaurants. Let's find out which 16 McDonald's restaurants in Malaysia have been given the owner to display the iconic Mekdi signage. I am glad that one of the restaurants in Melaka made it into the list. Woohoo! 😁

The 16 selected 'Mekdi' restaurants nationwide are:

o   McDonald’s Bukit Bintang
o   McDonald’s Titiwangsa
o   McDonald’s KLCC
o   McDonald’s Putrajaya, Presint 2
o   McDonald’s Kuala Selangor
o   McDonald’s Greenlane, Penang
o   McDonald’s Jln Gopeng, Ipoh, Perak
o   McDonald’s Stulang Laut, Johor
o   McDonald’s Kulai, Johor
o   McDonald’s Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan
o   McDonald’s Taman Buaya, Malacca
o   McDonald’s Teluk Cempedak, Pahang
o   McDonald’s Kota Bahru, Kelantan
o   McDonald’s Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu
o   McDonald’s Kuching 1, Sarawak
o   McDonald’s Api-Api, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

There is no place like Mekdi for sure!

Of course we Malaysians love our food very much as well. Just in time to celebrate our Hari Merdeka and Malaysia Day, McDonald's Malaysia has also enhanced our beloved Nasi Lemak. So now you can indulge in your Nasi Lemak McD with side dishes such as Rendang Ayam, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Cutlet or Grilled Chicken Burger (GCB) Cutlet. OMG! Being a big fan of Nasi Lemak, yours truly have tried all 3 and OMG~they were so unbelievably delicious and the sambal was truly lip-smacking! I don't know about you but my family and I just can't get enough of it. My wife and children absolutely love the new side dishes options.

OMG! Nasi Lemak~which one should I indulge in first?

Have you tried the Geng Nasi Lemak at Mekdi?

Interestingly, McDonald's has also infused local flavours into its dessert menu. Yep! You will be in for a surprise to find out that you can now enjoy the brand new McFlurry Cendol! Unfortunately, I couldn't get to try it as it is out of stock in all McD outlets in Melaka! 😓 Hopefully they will restock this dessert as soon as possible. Apart from that, you can also enjoy Corn Pie and Cendol-flavoured ice cream that will definitely put a smile on your face. I had the Cendol-flavoured sundae and it was truly scrumptious.

 Nasi Lemak McD with Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Cutlet

 Nasi Lemak McD with GCB Cutlet

 Nasi Lemak McD with Rendang Ayam

More often than not, we Malaysians can identify with McDonald's in almost every single aspect of our life right? This is especially true when we talk about food. It is really heart-warming to know that McDonald's menu has been localised to cater to our Malaysian taste buds with many ingredients being sourced locally. That is why we have the Nasi Lemak menu and sambal that can really whet our appetites. I guess that explains why we truly love all the food from Mekdi right?

#GengNasiLemak

McDonald's is a company that champions causes that benefits we Malaysians. One such cause is the #KitaBoleh concept which is a nationwide call by McDonald’s Malaysia in March this year – to herald the silent bravery of the frontliners who continued on their work as Malaysians stayed home during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Obviously the company cares a lot about we Malaysians and our struggle.

With over 14,000 employees in 300 restaurants across the country, McDonald’s Malaysia also prioritises talent and skills development among its assets-the valuable workforce. With plans to open 450 stores by 2025, McDonald’s Malaysia has also targeted to add 10,000 more employees to its workforce. This will allow more Malaysians to have job opportunities and career advancement options. This goes to show that the company intends to help nurture local talents and aid them in building meaningful careers.

Do take a photo with the new Mekdi signage to celebrate Merdeka & Malaysia Day

As we are all aware, McDonald’s Malaysia is also a strong community player. The company is constantly encouraging all its restaurants nationwide to give back to local communities by organising various initiatives such as meal donations to local charities, Teacher’s Day celebrations as well as flood relief efforts. Through Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), McDonald’s Malaysia continues to support programmes that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. Another initiative close to McDonald’s heart is the ‘Back-to-School’ programme, which has benefitted 53,000 urban poor primary school children since 2017.

Don't forget to try the Nasi Lemak McD ok. 😋

Truth to be told, McDonald's Malaysia has done a lot for we Malaysians. Besides rolling out localised menu that we love, the company is also providing job opportunities as well as giving back to the society through its various meaningful charitable events. So let us do our part now and visit one of the nearest McDonald's Malaysia restaurants to help ourselves to all those glorious Nasi Lemak with its mouth-watering side dishes (Rendang Awam, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Cutlet or Grilled Chicken Burger (GCB) Cutlet)! You really have to try them all. I know I had.


Hypergear Waterproof Duffel Bag-5 Reasons You Will Love It

Introducing my Hypergear Waterproof Duffel Bag (60L) that I have been using for my vacations, work and even when I hit the basketball court. Yupe! So you can say that this fiery red HyperGear Duffel Bag of mine is basically my multipurpose bag for virtually every occasion. If you were to visit  any HyperGear Malaysia's physical stores or its online webstore, you will notice that there are 2 sizes for you to choose from: 40L or 60L. Yours truly me of course picked the latter-the HyperGear Duffel Bag 60L because bigger is always better. Well at least for me. 😝

5 Reasons Why I Love HyperGear Waterproof Duffel Bag

HyperGear Duffel Bag is 100% Waterproof

I enjoy travelling a lot with my family and that's why I need a reliable bag that suits my needs and nature. One of the main reasons why I chose HyperGear Waterproof Duffel Bag as my de facto travelling bag because it is 100% waterproof! Hence I do not have to be worried if it suddenly rains. Hence you can put anything you want inside such as your tablet, smartphone and clothes just to name a few and know that they will not be wet! Heck! It could still float safely when I drop it in water.

100% waterproof!

Its tried and tested roll-top design ensures that not a single drop of water can find its way into my sealed duffel bag. This gives me total peace of mind. Knowing that everything is in my 100% waterproof bag also means that I can focus on something else like holding the umbrella for my wife and kids. And no more running helter-skelter to find a shelter as my duffel bag is just like me-waterproof! This makes me feel more macho. Ha 😁

HUGE Multipurpose Storage For Everything

Another reason why this HyperGear Waterproof Duffel Bag 60L is my favourite bag is because of its unbelievably huge storage. With 60-litre of space, I can throw in virtually everything in it and I can still seal the bag safely to be waterproof. I could throw in my basketball, my sneakers and loads of clothes inside my duffel bag and there will still be space for more. You can't put a basketball inside a normal hard-sise luggage with wheels that you always drag around right? Being a multipurpose bag, it means I could put whatever my heart desires.

 Let's put everything inside!

Durable & Heavy Duty

This HyperGear Waterproof Duffel Bag is really a dream come true for many outdoor enthusiasts. It doesn't matter what is your mojo be it hiking, fishing, biking or travelling, rest assured that this duffel bag is ultra durable and can be used for any heavy duty outings of yours. Built from high-quality materials such as tarpaulin and world-class buckles, you can't help but feel that this duffel bag can take any beatings and will still come out top and waterproof! I particularly love the DuraflexⓇ buckles as they are not only super secure but also feel very tough and durable. Whenever I hear the clicks, I felt really safe and happy. 💪😀

Super Comfortable and Convenient

Contrary to popular belief, a duffel bag is merely for you to store and lug your stuffs around. A lot of people also assume that it would cause discomfort to carry this bag especially when you could store so many things inside. The truth is, it feels super comfortable to carry my HyperGear Duffel Bag around as it is padded to the MAX. Yes! You heard me right. The lush padding really let my shoulder feels comfortable and at times I do not even realise I am carrying my bag. Do you know you can add another Strap Power Up to convert this duffel bag into a backpack (which I did). Hence it is even more comfortable and convenient for me to carry my duffel bag around. I also appreciate the top carry handle which makes it easier for me to move around without restrictions and inhibitions.

Reflective Straps To Keep You Safe
Another feature of HyperGear that I really need to mention about HyperGear Duffel Bag is the inclusion of reflective straps. So you will be getting one huge reflective strap on each side of the duffel bag to keep you safe and sound. Kudos to the design team for adding this safety feature that could even safe your life. Imagine while you are travelling and walking along a road at night without any street lights, these very reflective straps could potentially save your life from any incoming cars or vehicles. Two thumbs up for HyperGear!

Watch HyperGear Duffel Bag In Action

There you have it folks! 5 reasons why HyperGear Duffel Bag is the ideal bag for you when you need that extra storage space and flexibility. Besides its incredible waterproof ability, this duffel bag can also be a loyal servant as it is very durable and can be used for virtually any occasions.

Tanjung Point Residences review-One of the Best Places To Stay In Penang

If you are looking for one of the best places to stay in Penang, then you have to book Tanjung Point Residences for your next holidays. I am still in awe with our beachfront accommodation in Penang which was nothing short of mesmerizing. Tanjung Point Residences boasts one of the most amazing beach views right from your wide and spacious balcony. However that's not all, read on to find out why this serviced apartment is one of the best places to stay in Penang.

Read my Tanjung Point Residences Review to find out why it is one of the best places to stay in Penang

While you are on vacation on an island, you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city right? Hence Tanjung Point Residences will be ideal for your relaxing holidays as it is not nestled in the bustling city center. Situated directly next to the sea, you can enjoy the relaxing sea breeze while listening to the waves crashing on the beach. I really appreciate the tranquility and serenity that helped to recharge my tired body and mind. Then again it is still strategically located, meaning that you can get to any tourist attractions easily.

Since we are still in the midst of the pandemic, we needed to adhere to the strict SOP as usual. The management of Tanjung Point Residences has really ensured that the safety of its guests is its number priority. Security guards and staff took our temperatures and made sure that we sanitize our hands before entering the hotel. While we were lining up to check in, physical distancing was practised as well. It is good to know that we can still have peace of mind while enjoying our holidays.

Tanjung Point Residences boasts amazing sea view

OMG...we were in awe of our beachfront stay!

After our registration and check-in, we literally rushed to our 2-bedroom apartment as we could not wait to see what our stay for the next 3 days would look like. Honestly, our expectations were really high as we were amazed by the pictures that we saw on the Internet. Once we pushed open our door, we knew that our staycation in Penang will be an unforgettable one. The apartment was so huge and spacious, making us feel so comfortable and at ease. My wife and kids were extremely ecstatic that they could stay in such an incredible place in Penang!

The rooms in Tanjung Point Residences are so HUGE!

Wifey is waiting for me. 😝

Yes. We are all spellbound by the beautiful seaview

Spacious and comfortable

Enjoying my coffee while admiring the breathtaking sea view

Doing my work

In the master bedroom, the plush, super-comfortable mattress was truly a bliss for both my wife and I. Indeed, we had a good night's sleep during our 3 days 2 nights staycation. The wooden floor finishing plus the lush carpeting really made every step in our apartment so much more enjoyable. Even the drapes were so opulent, adding that unmistakable luxurious and romantic touch for the guests. There were even mesh curtains to give you that added privacy if you still want to pull the curtains apart. There is even a TV in our master bedroom for us to watch TV.

All the mattresses are so comfy and plushy

Both of them are so happy 😁

Apart from the comfy bed and beautiful interior, the master bedroom has its very own en-suite bathroom which is really ritzy. The elaborate floor tiles really complement the ivory white sink. There is even a huge, wide mirror for all your vanity needs. Be it hot or cold, you can shower to your heart's content with the rainfall shower head that will make you feel unbelievably good. OMG! It felt like a paradise even when you are taking a shower. I had a great time in the bathroom for sure. Ha 😀

The bathrooms in Tanjung Point Residences are luxurious

Jordan boy and Jasmine girl enjoying their rainfall shower

Jordan and Jasmine really had a whale of time in their very own huge bedroom as well. Inside, there were 2 equally plush and comfy single mattresses that will make you want to lie down the whole day; Just ask both of them. After jumping on their beds like trampoline (which they shouldn't), both of them happily enjoyed their rapturous shower. Obviously they truly had a great time staying in this beachfront apartment.

You will get the complete set of kitchenette

Electric stove with hood

Microwave and electric kettle

What else do you need?

Enjoying our meals at the dining table

Like I have aforementioned, staying in Tanjung Point Residences really felt like home to us. If you do not feel like leaving this haven, you can stay indoors all day and cook your own meals thanks to the complete set of kitchenette. There is a big electric stove with hood, toaster, microwave, electric kettle, refrigerator, crockery and all the cutlery that you need. All you have to do is to buy a few ingredients and voila you can cook your meals and start enjoying them in this beautiful and comfortable apartment. *hint* we used the toaster and microwave a lot. 😋

Bask in the spacious, comfortable, opulent living area

Obviously wifey and our babies are really happy.

We are truly, madly, deeply in love with the balcony!

Enjoying our breakfast near the balcony while enjoying the sea view.

We will never forget this amazing experience.

Unlike a hotel, this 2-bedroom apartment of ours at Tanjung Point Residences has a crazy huge separate living area for us to chill in the cozy sofa while watching TV. Yupe! No more being crammed inside one single bedroom like a usual hotel. Hungry for some snacks? Just head over to the dining area to enjoy some quick bites and some coffee (for me). While my wife was preparing breakfast for us, our kids were happily watching cartoons on Astro; Yours truly me was busy doing some work using the blazing fast free complimentary Wi-Fi. In other words, we have so much space to do so many things in this accommodation of ours in Penang.

Tanjung Point Residences boasts an infinity pool right next to the sea

Having a splashing time!

Honestly it felt so calm swimming in this pool

Both of them enjoying the mesmerizing sea view

You will definitely enjoy yourself here

Can we continue to swim?

One of the best swimming pools that we have ever swum in!

Enjoy the sea breeze and indulge in the sound of waves crashing on the beach

One of the highlights of staying in Tanjung Point Residences is its enormous breathtaking infinity pool overlooking the stunning beach filled beautiful clouds. Yes! You can swim while admiring the mesmerizing sea view. What is so awesome about this infinity swimming pool is the fact that it is 1 metre deep, allowing both children and adults to fully enjoy their swim. Both Jordan boy and Jasmine girl really, really loved their swimming sessions. However due to the strict SOP, each person could only swim for a maximum of 1 hour and there could only be 20 swimmers at one time in this gigantic infinity pool. They were sad when the security guard ask them to leave.

Exercise right now to the sea

Time to burn off all the extra calories

Enjoying the view while working out

Stay active even while you are on a vacation

Staying in Penang for 3 days had allowed us to savour a lot of delicious food. Being known as the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is a melting pot for cuisines and delicacies from different cultures and countries. Of course we had so many lip-smacking feasts that expanded our waistlines quite a lot. LOL 😁 Fortunately there is a well-equipped gym in Tanjung Point Residences for us to shed away all those extra calories. It was a pleasure to run on the treadmill while taking in the picturesque scenery. I mean it is not every day that you get to lift those dumbbells right next to the sea, right? You will have the multigym, adjustable benches, wellness balls and yoga mats at your disposal. So clock in some workout before going out to enjoy more glorious food.

Playground for the kids

You can also do your laundry here

Those who plan to stay here for a long period of time will be happy to know that there is a full service laundry to take care of your clothes. Besides there is also a playground for children to have fun besides the huge infinity pool. Those who plan to visit Penang should choose Tanjung Point Residences for you stay or lodging. There are 3 options for you to choose from namely 3-Bedroom Suite, 2-Bedroom Suite and Studio Suite.

Tanjung Point Residences is definitely one of the best places to stay in Penang

We felt really sad that we had to leave this beautiful and amazing accommodation of ours.  Tanjung Point Residences is so good that we really wanted to extend our 3 Days 2 Nights stay. Unfortunately we had to head back to Melaka for work and for the kids to attend school. Equipped with everything that we need, this is by far one of the best places to stay in Penang if you ask me. You will appreciate the ample space, the huge infinity pool and of course the beautiful sea view that will mesmerize you for hours! We are definitely going to stay in Tanjung Point Residences again for our next visit in the future!

kidzooona Welcomes You Back With 50% Discount

Children have been cooped up within the four walls of their homes for way too long due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence it is about time that kids get to have fun in a playground again right? kidzooona welcomes you back with a whopping 50% discount until 31st of August. Our kids were very elated to be playing again in a huge playground freely. You might be asking, is it safe to play in kidzooona? The answer is a resounding YES!

Yay~we can play at kidzooona again but must adhere to the SOP!

Contrary to popular belief, it is actually very safe to bring our children to kidzooona to have fun thanks to their strict SOP and hygiene measures. If you ask me, I honestly believe it is even safer and cleaner for kids to play in kidzooona rather than in the playground in your neighbourhood, right? In fact after bringing both Jordan and Jasmine there last weekend, I can vouch for its safety and cleanliness. The following are the 6 reasons why it is safe for kids to play in kidzooona.

6 Reasons Why It Is Safe To Play In kidzooona

1. Check Your Body Temperature

Even before children can step into the kidzooona playground, their body temperature will be measured to ensure that they are fit and healthy. The playground assistants will also check the body temperature of accompanying parents or guardians.

2. Sanitize Your Hands

Once your body temperature is checked, you will need to sanitize both your hands at the entrance. After you have removed your shoes and ready to play in the playground, the assistants will once again be around to make sure you sanitize your hands. In fact after playing in each station, children need to get their hands sanitized.

3. Limited Number of Visitors (Children + Adults)

kidzooona knows that physical distancing is important and that is why only a limited number of children and accompanying parents can be in the playground at the same time. Each visitor will be given a pass card to ensure that the number of visitors at any time in the playground is maintained. This is really good news as it means the playground will not be crowded.

4. Only 1 Child + 1 Guardian At Each Play Area

Those who have visited kidzooona before knows that there are so many play areas for children to have fun. Children can play pretend to be a doctor, a fireman, a florist or even a chef. However, now only 1 child and 1 guardian will be allowed at each play area at the same time. This is really good news to ensure that physical distancing can be observed while children are still having fun.

5. Maintain 1 Meter Away Gap

In kidzooona, visitors need to maintain 1 meter away gap from each other all the time. Besides parents and guardians, the playground assistants will constantly ensure that children will observe the 1 meter rule. Even during the dance session, children will still stand 1 meter apart from each other while dancing.

6. Toys and Play Equipment Are Constantly Sanitized

All the toys and play equipment will be sanitized by the assistants once a child has left the play area. This ensures that all the toys and play equipment will be clean to be played by the next visitor. This hygienic measure really gives parents peace of mind while allowing children to enjoy themselves safely in a clean and safe environment.

Sanitize your hands

Registration of names and details

Each visitor will be given a Check-in Pass

Sanitize your hands again!

Jordan boy and Jasmine girl were really, really happy to return to kidzooona again to have fun after months of home quarantine. They truly had a whale of a time playing with the different toys available at their disposal. I believe they missed donning the fancy costumes to play pretend as a doctor, a burger maker or a sushi chef. Since only a limited number of children are allowed in the playground, both of them get to play what they love for a longer period of time to their heart' content. Though they were wearing their masks all the time, I could still feel their joy and happiness. I am glad that I brought them there to have fun.

 Only 1 child and 1 adult are allowed at each play area

 Make sure you adhere to the SOP while having fun ok

Jasmine girl prepared sushi for her mommy 😍

 Each of the play areas will be sanitized once the child leaves

 kidzooona ensures your children and you are playing in a safe and hygienic environment

I am impressed with the hygienic measures taken by kidzooona. After a child has done playing in one play area, the child needs to have his or her hands sanitized before going to the next play area.  On top of that, the playground assistant will also sanitize the toys and play equipment before allowing another child to have fun in that play area. This is really good as they ensure that all the play areas will be clean and safe all the time. I want to applaud all the playground assistants and the management of kidzooona as they really prioritize our safety.

 Always sanitize your hands before going to the next play area

Do you want a happy meal?

Let's go extinguish some fiery serpents!

Maintain physical distancing while playing ok! 😊

Despite the ongoing Covid-19 threat, we should not deprive our children of their childhood. I am glad and grateful that we have play areas for kids such as kidzooona which provide a safe and clean environment for children to have fun. It is obvious that kidzooona is truly committed to observe to the recommended SOPs and hygienic measures strictly. Hence it really gives me a peace of mind, knowing that my children will be enjoying themselves safely and of course happily in kidzooona.

 If a play area is big enough, 2 children can play together but must maintain physical distancing

Make sure to maintain 1 meter away gap

Let's jump in the trampoline...but must take turn. 😋

 It's dancing time!

It makes me happy to see my children being able to play in the open again

I love to shake it~shake it~

Before leaving, they need to sanitize their hands one last time. 😁

For parents who want to bring your children to have fun in a safe and clean environment which follows the SOP strictly, then you need to head over to kidzooona. For the record, there are altogether 30 kidzooonas in Malaysia. All in all, kidzooona is still one of the best places in Melaka for my kids to play and learn at the same time; Now it is also one of the safest and cleanest! And from now until 31st of August, you will enjoy 50% discount for your admission into kidzooona. So you only need to pay RM6 on weekday and RM10 on weekend!

Sheraton Fitness-A World Class Gym For You To Stay Active

Another important facility that I really enjoy during my stay in Sheraton PJ Hotel was its amazing in-house gym or better known as Sheraton Fitness. After indulging in so much delicious food at Yue Restaurant, Miyabi Restaurant and Feast Restaurant in the hotel itself, I needed to exercise a little bit. Fortunately there is a fully-equipped gym in the hotel for me to burn some calories before we start our food hunting journey again!

Sheraton Fitness is a fully-equipped world class gym

 It's time to burn some (a lot of) calories

Sheraton Fitness is really a gym that can match any of the full-scale commercial gyms around you. In fact it is better than almost all the gyms that I go. The moment I stepped into this gym I was completely flabbergasted to see how well-equipped it was. This world-class gym is provided by Technogym. There were many treadmills, exercise bikes and cross trainers just to name few at your disposal. So you do not need to be worried if there is not enough exercise equipment to work out.

This Sheraton Fitness is really big, spacious and not to mention really damn clean too! When I was doing my workout, I couldn't help but notice that almost everything in the gym was shiny...meaning that they have been thoroughly cleaned and polished. This really gave me peace of mind knowing that I am exercising in a very hygienic environment. On top of that, it smelled really good in the gym as well~calming and serene. Hence it was really relaxing while I was running on the treadmill while listening to my music.

You will have everything here to keep you active

I am superman!

This multigym is kinda challenging and interesting

Interestingly enough, just like in the outdoor swimming pool nobody was around the gym that morning. I guess those who were staying in this luxurious hotel would rather be in bed rather than sweating right? That's really good as I could ave the gym all to myself (literally). Out of all the gym equipment, my favourite was of course the cutting-edge treadmill. It was the most state-of-the-art treadmill I have even run on in my life with advanced control panel and a huge LCD screen for me cuztomize my exercise. This alone was enough to perk me up and motivate me.

 Stay-dry-Towels are provided

Most importantly stay hydrated

Besides the treadmill, I also had some fun with the robust cross trainer and exercise bike. All the equipment felt really new and well-maintained, making it a fun workout session for anyone. Another excise equipment which really attracted me was the intimidating multigym. If I could use this every day I would become a hulk. LOL 😂 There were also a lot of dumbbells, adjustable benches and wellness balls for you to have a variety of workouts. This gym is indeed full-equipped!

Sheraton Fitness Gym lets you exercise at the "top of the world".

One extra bonus of exercising in Sheraton Fitness is its amazing view. Similar to the rooftop infinity pool, this gym is also located on the 33rd level of Sheraton PJ Hotel. This means you will be getting a beautiful, panoramic view while exercising which can really be therapeutic. That's the privilege of exercising "on cloud nine" right? Forget to bring your bottle of water to re-hydrate yourself? No worries as there is a water dispenser available for free-flow of sky juice. Need a towel to wipe your dripping sweat? The gym has got it covered with the available towels at the entrance. So if you are staying in Sheraton PJ Hotel, make sure you take advantage of this gym. It is open 24 hours~7 days a week!


Rooftop Infinity Pool On The 33rd Level Of Sheraton PJ Hotel

Besides delicious food and a good night's sleep, I believe a great hotel should also have an equally amazing swimming pool. How about a swimming pool on the 33rd floor with breathtaking view and cool, fresh air? That is exactly where you will be having a dip and splashing water when you are staying in Sheraton Petaling Jaya Hotel. So far this rooftop infinity pool is the highest swimming pool I have ever swum in my entire life.

The swimming pool of Sheraton PJ Hotel is on the 33rd Level

Let's have our morning swim

On the second day of our stay, we decided to have a morning swim first instead of enjoying our lip smacking breakfast buffet. When we first arrived, nobody was in or near the swimming pool. Guess everyone was sound asleep or busy digging in the glorious food at the breakfast buffet. Ecstatic, I immediately jumped into the infinity pool and swam for a bit while Jordan and Jasmine were having a splashing good time in the kids pool.

Mommy was always watching over them 😀

Did you guys have fun?

Since it was still early, I was really awestruck by the spectacular view on the 33rd floor while dipping in the infinity pool. Perching on the top of Sheraton PJ Hotel, rest assured that you will be getting a bird's eye view of everything around the hotel. One could see the beautiful city of Petaling Jaya and as far as Kuala Lumpur. Yours truly me really enjoyed the stunning scene with majestic skyscrapers touching the blue skies while the sun rays piercing through the fascinating clouds. At that moment, I felt that time had stood still.

Jordan boy wanted to try swimming in the adult pool

Jasmine girl as well

Over at the kids pool, my 2 little big babies were having a whale of time swimming in the shallow pool. Kids will always love swimming right? Even though they are not really swimming. Ha :D It was really relaxing when we could breathe in the fresh, invigorating air while the gentle breeze caressed our faces. After doing a few laps, I chilled in one of the loungers while taking in the magnificent scenery for one last time. Looking at my children having fun with their mother at the kid's pool was really priceless as well. Guess this is the feeling when you get while having a vacation. 😊

One can enjoy stunning view of the city from the swimming pool

 Breathtaking view of the whole city

The swimming pool is equipped with loungers, chairs and tables for you to chill out

Yours truly me chilling out

I don't mind sitting here all day to enjoy the view

After around half an hour, we cleaned ourselves up before changing into our clothes. After that? Or course we headed to have our scrumptious  breakfast buffet that the hotel has already provided for us. More smoked duck and sausages? All in all we certainly had a great time in the swimming pools on the 33rd floor of Sheraton PJ Hotel. The whole experience was really unforgettable thanks to the view and the fact that no one else was present. It is the highest place we have swum so far. How about you?

Opening Hours: 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. daily
Towels are provided

Breakfast Buffet at Sheraton PJ That You Cannot Stop Eating

After having a good night's sleep at Sheraton PJ Hotel thanks to its luxurious Signature Sleep Experience, we headed the hotel's restaurant to fill our growling tummies. We were really looking forward to enjoying our breakfast buffet at Feast at Sheraton PJ. Expectations were really high after our scrumptious feast at Yue Restaurant and Miyabi Restaurant respectively. So did our breakfast buffet at Feast @ Sheraton PJ meet our high expectations? Let's find out.

Are you ready for your breakfast buffet at Sheraton PJ?

For the uninitiated, Feast is Sheraton PJ's modern signature restaurant which showcases international flavours at an extensive buffets with a range of visually stunning displays in beautiful colours and textures. Hence at the Feast @ Sheraton PJ you can enjoy breakfast buffet, lunch buffet and dinner buffet or in other words everything! We started our morning with their mouth-watering spread of breakfast buffet of course. When we arrived at the Feast, there were already a lot of other guests busy filling their plates with glorious food. Thankfully the restaurant was really, really big; It was spacious and there were still many vacant seats. Once we have settled down, off we went to grab our empty plates. 😁

Breakfast Buffet at Sheraton PJ is one of the best in KL and PJ

What bread would you like?

Donuts and croissants

Glutten-free cakes~how thoughtful

 Cereals for the kids or maybe you 😄

Bread pudding which was surprisingly good

Since we were having breakfast, you could expect an assortment of breads that you would not even know where to start digging. There were also around 10 jars of spread for you to smack on your breads ranging from jam to honey. I think Feast @ Sheraton PJ was really courteous and thoughtful as they even prepared gluten-free options for those who need it. There were also lots of colourful donuts and different choices of croissants for you to savour. Kids will love the various cereals in jars along with a plethora of dried fruits and nuts. Interestingly the restaurant also provided hot oatmeal and bread pudding which was made from stale bread, milk and egg.

Chinese Fried Rice,  Mee Mamak and Nasi Lemak

How about a bowl of Noodles?

How do you like your eggs?

For those who prefer heavier meals for their breakfast there were other oriental stalls with familiar local cuisines that they would make them happy such as Chinese Fried Rice, Mee Mamak and of course Nasi Lemak. Top them up with onion sambal, tomato chicken, prawn curry and usual condiments for Nasi Lemak. Want to try something else? You can also choose from Steamed Japanese Rice, Miso Soup and Salt-baked Saba Macarel just to name a few. Those who wish to grab a few spoons of noodles can head over to the noodles station. The egg station is a heaven for egg lovers there were just so many different versions of eggs for you to try. Do you want omelette, scrambled egg or poached egg?

Congee with its various condiments

We Asians love dim sum

Enjoy 5 different cheese for your breakfast at Sheraton PJ

Want something lighter for your breakfast? How about Chicken congee or maybe just plain congee. Of course you could spice your porridge up with the available condiments. There were also dim sum and local kuih for those who prefer traditional fix for their breakfast. If you want something crunchy and cheesy at the same time, grab a few cookies and spread them with the 5 different cheeses available. There were Cheddar Cheese, Edam Cheese, Blue Cheese, Emmental Cheese and Camembert Cheese for you to choose from. It was quite an exotic display of cheese if you ask me. After all, it is not like every day you will get to taste 5 different cheese at one go right?

For those who love salads

Health conscious diners could choose to fill up their hungry stomachs with salads and spice things up with the other special condiments that were just beside their leafy greens. Unfortunately I am not really into vegetables. Yours truly me prefer meatier breakfast such as chicken ham, smoked duck slices, smoked salmon and lots of sausages of course. I must say that the smoked duck slices were to die for-every bite was so sinfully delicious, succulent and flavourful. I couldn't get enough of the smoke duck slices which melted in my mouth. Awww....😘

Chicken hams, smoked duck slices and smoke salmons *drooling*

Look at how happy Jasmine girl was

How can get enough of sausages?

How about desserts for breakfast buffet at Sheraton PJ? You will be delighted to know that you can indulge in yoghurt and premium quality ice cream. On top of that, there were also fresh fruits and jelly to sweeten your already awesome breakfast at Sheraton PJ. As for beverages, you can get unlimited cups of Teh Tarik and Nescafe Tarik. Of course you could also craft your own cappuccino of latte with the coffee machine available.

Let's have desserts and coffee now!

Chilled delights-yoghurt and ice cream

 Fruits

Teh Tarik or Nescafe Tarik?

If you are looking for a hotel stay in PJ or KL with fantastic breakfast buffet spread, then you definitely need to consider Sheraton PJ Hotel. At Feast, my family and I really had an unforgettable breakfast that we could not get enough of. It is a shame that we only have one stomach to enjoy the glorious food. I am looking forward to trying Sheraton PJ buffet lunch and buffet dinner as well. Judging by our dining experience at Yue (Cantonese Luncheon), Miyabi (Omakase Dining) and now breakfast buffet at Feast, I am sure their luncheon and dinner will be equally amazing.

Breakfast Buffet at Sheraton PJ offers glorious spread for your family

When my family is happy, it is priceless.

Chicken ham and sausages!

Donuts, kuih and roti canai

Miyabi Sheraton PJ-Omakase at Its Best

I have always heard how amazing the Omakase is at Miyabi Sheraton Petaling Jaya. My scrumptious luncheon at Yue at Sheraton PJ tells me that this Japanese restaurant will be even better!  After trying their Omakase prepared exclusively by their Japanese chef-Mr. Tetsuya Yanagida, I must admit that this is the best Omakase I have ever savoured in my life! So if you are looking for one of the best Japanese restaurants in PJ, then you really need to head over to Miyabi Sheraton PJ. This upscale Japanese restaurant serves the usual multi-course kaiseki (懐石) such as Sushi, Sashimi and Teppanyaki just to name a few.

Can you feel the zen vibe emanated by the decor at Miyabi Sheraton PJ?

Sushi bar and live cooking station

Alternatively you could choose Omakase dining experience at Miyabi Sheraton PJ. What is Omakase? Simply put, Omakase means "I will leave it to you (the chef)" to decide what Japanese food to cook, prepare and serve. In other words, the chef's creativity and culinary skills will come into play as he prepares the sushi. Hence I was really honoured that Chef Tetsuya Yanagida personally served me with his award-winning Omakase Sushi! It is not like everyday that you will be served fresh Sushi by a Japanese chef right?

Chef Tetsuya Yanagida will be preparing my authentic Omakase

While waiting for my dinner I happily made myself at home in Miyabi Sheraton PJ. For the uninitiated, "Miyabi" means elegance and that is really evident in the opulent and yet cozy decorations of the restaurant. I love the zen vibe that this restaurant exudes with minimalist design complemented by clean lines, natural stones and lots of woods. From the arrangement of the plates and cutlery to the well-folded napkins; Everything in Miyabi looks immaculately divine. For a moment, it feels like you are actually in Japan!

Can't wait to see the chef showcasing his culinary skills

While I was admiring the rich decor, I heard someone calling, "Chris San!" I turned around and there he was, holding my first plate of authentic Japanese cuisine for that night. Chef Tetsuya Yanagida presented my appetizer-Asparagus Goma-ae which was a quick green snack to get me started on my Omakase journey for the evening. The boiled asparagus which was coated with premium sesame sauce was really fresh and crispy. Who would have thought that vegetables could be this appealing to my palate huh! Besides some green goodness, my appetizer also consisted of the mystifying Tatami Iwashi (dried Japanese baby sardines sheet) which I actually had a second look. It was rather interesting to marvel at the intricate mesh of baby sardines intertwining to form a piece of art-like kite. The texture was crunchy and piquant. Dipping it into the sesame sauce and you will get a whole different sensation in your mouth.

Tatami Iwashi (Dried Japanese Baby Sardine Sheet)

My next platter was the exquisite Sashimi consisting of luscious Kanpachi, Toro, Hokkaido hotate and Fuedai. I am flattered to be served by exceptional quality sashimi that were made of amberjack, tuna, scallop and red snapper. The sashimi were unbelievably fresh and savory. Every single bite felt so rich and creamy, bursting with the sashimi's very own original flavour. Honestly speaking, I had ever never tasted sashimi as fresh as the ones in Miyabi thanks to its weekly sashimi shipment. Add a bit of freshly ground wasabi to your sashimi and your taste buds will be dancing in delight! This sashimi platter is highly recommended and it will surely give you that orgasmic ASMR sensation!

It felt so good to have a Japanese chef preparing your Omakase

Kanpachi, Toro, Hokkaido Hotate, Fuedai Sashimi

Freshly ground wasabi

Japanese Clear Soup

After enjoying my Sashimi, Chef Yanagida prepared a bowl of Japanese Clear Soup to help me get ready for my next Agemono dish. Introducing Avocado Sakura-ebi Kaki-age tempura which is a fusion between Avocado and Sakura baby shrimp. Dipping this battered and deep fried mashed avocado and cherry blossom really gave me that tingling sensation in my mouth. Despite being coated by a layer of batter, I could still taste the unmistakable buttery texture of the rich and nutty avocado. The sakura baby shrimp used in the tempura really added a different layer of savory aftertaste which made this Agemono really unique.

Chef Tetsuya Yanagida then continued to prepare my Yakimono platter while I was admiring him strutting his stuff right before my eyes. The next that I got to delight in was the Grilled Ikejime Barramundi with Kyoto Miso. This grilled big eye tuna belly with sea salt was not only very presentable, but also very titillating. It was well-seasoned and grilled to perfection, with the juice of the fish still masterfully locked inside the dainty tuna fillet. I wouldn't mind having a few more servings.

The highlight of my Omakase dining at Miyabi Sheraton PJ has got to be this showstopper-Nigiri assortment. Behold my amazing Nigiri Sushi dishes with slices of fresh Kanpachi (Amberjack), Big eye tuna belly, Chutoro tuna belly, sweet Amaebi (prawn) and Mizu-dako (Octopus). When Chef Yanagida presented my Nigiri Sushi to me, I laid it on the table and was actually awestruck by what I would be indulging in. It was not like every day I could savour such sumptuously divine Nigiri Sushi right? Every grain of the vinegary pearl rice really complemented the freshness and sweet aroma of the sashimi. They were really creamy, rich and smooth! Add some wasabi and soy sauce and you would get a whole different experience in your mouth. Goodness!

Which one of these Nigiri Sushi will you try first?

Just when I thought that my Nigiri platter was (supposedly) the last of my luxurious main course for the day, the affectionate Chef Yanagida surprised me with yet another sushi! He handed a Chopped bluefin tuna belly with leek hand roll sushi to a gleeful me *Yay!*. Well! One can never get enough of sinfully tempting authentic Japanese food right? Now I know why sushi lovers swear by bluefin tuna and vinegar pearl rice. I felt like a child again being able to eat this hand roll sushi.

Dessert: Chitose Strawberry Cake & Fruit

Every great gastronomical journey will have an equally awesome ending. The fitting unforgettable epilogue of my breathtaking Omakase dining experience in Miyabi Sheraton PJ was the heavenly  Chitose Strawberry cake and fruits. This plate of nectarious dessert really put an icing on the already incredible omakase dining experience at Miyabi Sheraton PJ! Out of the sudden, Chef Yanagi appeared right before me and gave me a few Sushi Gummy Lollipops for my children. He knew that my kids could not tag along and hence wanted me to pass these candies to my them. Top notch hospitality and unbelievable courtesy from this Japanese chef! Another brownie point for sure.

Chef Tetsuya Yanagida was very warm, funny and generous!

I had hot green tea and Cappuccino but nothing beats...

While I was enjoying my Omakase Sushi, I also ordered a bottle of artisanal Miyabi sake (rice wine). Served hot, every sip of this Miyabi sake was alluring. I particularly loved its sweet, refreshing scent with a hint of bitterness which really complemented its crisp aftertaste. An attentive waiter was constantly helping me to reheat my sake so that it would always be at the right temperature when I wanted my next sip. Hence, I highly recommend drinking sake while you are enjoying your Omakase sushi in Miyabi Sheraton PJ. It will really elevate your whole dining experience while you bask in its ethereal ambiance. Perhaps the sake made me tipsy a little bit. 😋

I think I am a bit tipsy now...

Sake really made all my sushi taste better!

All in all my Omakase dining in Miyabi Sheraton PJ was truly a feast fit for a King and an experience that I would never ever forget. Again I want to thank the meticulous Chef Tetsuya Yanagida for preparing such astonishing Omakase sushi for me. It was a luxurious treat indeed and it was worth every single dime. If you are looking for one of the best Omakase Sushi dining experiences in PJ, then you really need to head over to Miyabi Sheraton PJ. Rest assured that only the finest, premium ingredients will be used to serve those mouth-watering Sashimi, Nigiri, Tempura and Yakinomo cuisines that you have been craving for.

Yue at Sheraton Petaling Jaya-Award-Winning Chinese Restaurant

Besides offering amazing experience in terms of accommodation, Sheraton Petaling Jaya also has a few restaurants with menus that will get foodies jumping for joy. Introducing Yue @ Sheraton Petaling Jaya which is an award-winning Chinese restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisines. Being a food lover myself, I am thrilled to be able to savour such delectable dishes in Yue. If you are looking for one of the best Chinese restaurants in PJ to satiate your palate, then Yue @ Sheraton PJ is the one for you.

Welcome to Yue at Sheraton Petaling Jaya

So after checking in at our luxurious Executive Deluxe King room, we headed to Yue Chinese Restaurant to have our lunch. We were ushered into a huge special private dining room to enjoy our luncheon. Everything in the restaurant has been immaculately planned right from the elegant oriental decorations to the beautiful city views. There is an LCD TV if you want to watch something or probably for your karaoke session. The walls of this private dining room have been well sound-proofed for you to enjoy your chic-chatting or boisterous peals of laughter.

After hours of travelling, we are glad to be greeted by the warm and friendly waiter who handed us the menu. Honestly there were so many cuisines to choose from at Yue Sheraton Petaling Jaya. After much consideration and flipping of pages, we eventually chose Yue's 5-course Cherry Blossom Set Menu. We cheerfully basked in the cozy zen ambiance of the restaurant. The whole atmosphere was so pleasant thanks to its traditional music playing at the back which truly complemented the rich Chinese decorations in our dining room.

Chef's Special double boiled Chinese herbal soup served in a teapot!

The first cuisine from our to be served was the highly rated Chef's Special double boiled Chinese herbal soup served in a teapot! We were delighted to find a huge luscious abalone together with tender black chicken and aromatic cordyceps flower. The broth was so thick and fragrant, making it very flavourful and scrumptious. My wife and daughter really enjoyed this exquisite nourishing dish that really whetted their appetite. This is one of the must-try cuisine in Yue at Sheraton Petaling Jaya. I am glad that I ordered two sets of it.

Imperial Smoked Duck wrapped in egg pancake and Peking Sauce

Our next dish was the delightful Imperial Smoked Duck wrapped in egg pancake and Peking Sauce! The smoked duck was so delicate and gratifying that it will melt in your mouth the moment you have a bite. The well seasoned duck meat together with the thin and tasty egg pancake really tantalized my taste buds. Top it with the distinctive Peking sauce and your mouth will be bursting with flavour that you will not forget to quite a long time! I wish I could have more!

Baked cod fish topped with wasabi and chef's special sauce

If you are someone who prefer seafood, then you will relish the baked cod fish topped with wasabi and chef's special sauce. The baked cod fish was cooked to perfection. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I could have sworn that the meat of cod fish was unbelievably creamy and smooth in my gaping mouth. The chef's special sauce made all the difference with a hint of zest and tempting zing. Of course we enjoyed the mushrooms and snappy asparagus as well.

Fried rice with egg white and crispy scallops

The fried rice is certainly "more than meets the eye"

As the saying goes no Chinese banquet is complete without the presence of rice right? Our next dish was fried rice with egg white and crispy scallops. Every grain of the rice was mellow and fragrant the way it should be. One could immediately taste the unmistakable "wok hey" in the fried rice. The egg white and crispy scallops elevated the flavour of rice and gave the dish more texture. Glad we had rice to eat together with our other dishes.

Chilled fresh mango cream with milk and sago

Last but not least, our desserts were served to round of our luncheon. Nothing beat having chilled fresh mango cream with milk and sago as your desserts. We also added another bowl of Matcha Ice Cream for ourselves to enjoy. Aww...these desserts were really luscious, heavenly and gratifying to say the least! We particularly loved how fresh and creamy our desserts were. OMG~we wish we could have a few more servings of these nectarous desserts.

All in all we really had a pleasant and fulfilling feast at Yue. All the food served felt like Chinese New Year menus to me. It was a satisfying gastronomical journey for my family and I. Our tummies were happily filled and our moods were of course brightened for the whole day. If you are in PJ or KL, looking for great Chinese restaurants to dine in, then I highly recommend this Yue at Sheraton Petaling Jaya. You will definitely love the menus available at your disposal or you can choose the Cheery Blossom Menu that we had opted. Our family really indulged ourselves at Yue Sheraton PJ for sure!

If you are looking for one of the best hotels to stay in Kuala Lumpur (KL) or near the vicinity of KL, then the Sheraton Petaling Jaya (PJ) Hotel should be in your list. I have always believed that a wonderful accommodation is very important as it completes the whole experience of a vacation. Hence, Sheraton Petaling Jaya Hotel is my preferred choice of hotel for my staycation in KL. The fact that my family was truly delighted with our stay shows that this hotel has really exceeded our expectations in many ways.

Sheraton PJ is a luxurious 5-star Hotel that will take your breath away

Some of the beautiful decorations in Sheraton PJ

In terms of location, Sheraton Petaling Jaya Hotel sits directly next to the Federal Highway which links Petaling Jaya to Kuala Lumpur. Since it is strategically situated just a stone's throw away (20 minutes) from the city centre, you will appreciate the convenience minus the dreaded traffic jam. In other words, this hotel allows you to access various parts of the city without being caught in the bumper-to-bumper crawl. So you will be away from the annoying honking and noises that are synonymous with the city centre.

Read on to find out why Sheraton PJ is one the best hotels in KL that you should be staying.

The decorations in Sheraton PJ are opulent and grand

Upon our arrival at the doorsteps of Sheraton Petaling Jaya, the friendly potter helped us with our luggage and directed us to the concierge. The moment we stepped into the hotel we already know that we would be in for a lavish stay! I believed the hotel was designed to combine both contemporary and classy traditional decorations. Everything in the hotel looked and felt amazingly opulent and grand. Not only was the decorations look palatial, but even the concierges were also really warm and proactive. While we were waiting to check in, they served us chilled orange juice. This gesture of theirs just won them a lot of brownie points! 😁

This is what a bedroom looks like in Sheraton PJ Hotel

After getting our room key cards, we gleefully rushed to our Deluxe King room. The kids could be seen happily dragging along their own luggage, knowing that we would be in for an awesome time. We pushed open our door and were greeted by the splendid decorations inside. Everything really looked ritzy, just as it did in the concierge lounge. We quickly unpacked and started to bask in the unmistakable pampering ambiance that made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I must admit that Sheraton has gone the extra mile to make sure that your stay will be pleasurable and soothing at the same time.

Yes! The bathroom window has a retractable blinder to let you see in and out

Both Jordan and Jasmine were more excited to take their bath. Not that I could blame them. Both of them we really eager to relish in the latest premium Le Grand Bain bath amenities that were created especially for those who are residing in Sheraton hotels! Both of them were happily lavishing themselves with lush shampoo, body wash, and bath bars. Well, it is not every day that you get to dip in a posh bathtub that let you watch TV at the same time right? I really love the spacious bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower. Yupe! That's how big the bathroom is. There was even a magnifying mirror with LED right that ladies will appreciate for sure.

The bathroom in Sheraton PJ Hotel is a work of art

It feels so romantic to take a bath while looking outside 😁

 There is a separate shower and bathtub

Even the toilet can be an art gallery 😋

Once we were done taking our bath, we straight away "dived into" our enormous bed. Nothing beats the feeling of lying on a huge, snuggly bed that could lull you to sleep immediately. The Sheraton Signature Sleep ExperienceⓇ let us indulge in a plush mattress, crisp linens, a cozy duvet, and countless cushy pillows that made us not want to wake up! It was so gratifying and invigorating to be waking up from this mattress! I must concede that everything in the bedroom felt way better than my very own bedroom.

 Both Jordan boy and Jasmine girl were obviously had a great bath time!

Yours truly me could not resist the fun as well. 😘

From the relaxing mattress to the comfy armchair sofa; Everything you need is in this bedroom! There is even a workstation comprising a big wooden table for those who have to get their job done before the next meeting.
