I Love Adidas Because Of Its 3 Stripes

I have always loved Adidas for it is a brand that has peculiarly enchanted me in ways I could not explain. However I would try to unravel the reasons why I am so in love with Adidas. Do you know which country Adidas belongs to? Yep~if you are a sports fan or not, most probably you have known that Adidas hails from Germany. In fact, the company that is synonymous with its unmistakable iconic three parallel bars is like a household names around the world right? It even produces toiletries for men. Ha :D

I love Adidas. :)

The brand Adidas was actually founded by Adolf "Adi" Dassler after the World War I. So the brand  name Adidas was in fact the name of the creator-ADI DASsler. See? The truth is, the company was originally founded between Adolf Dassler and his elder brother-Rudolf Dassler. However both of the siblings decided to go their separate ways after the World War II due to irreconcilable rift. What a pity thought. The elder brother formed his own company called Ruda-Rudolf Dassler which was later rebranded as Puma. Hmm...I didn't know this. You can read more about their stories here.

The Three Stripes are ever-present. :D

It's my preferred brand. :)

So now...why do I like Adidas so much? Honestly I believe the one reason why I love this brand so much is because of its famous 3 parallel bars or the Three Stripes. Yep~that's the reason why I love it so much. Then again maybe it is because the three stripes do have a symbolical meaning to it and I feel like I could associate the 3 stripes with my life. In other words Adidas and its 3 Stripes remind me of the 3 most important people in my life-my wifey and my 2 babies. It's like when I am playing football, basketball or jogging...I could feel that my wife and 2 babies are just beside me as well. So that's why I love Adidas. Haha :D

My "Adidas". :p

I really consider myself to be a big fan of Adidas. In fact I will always try to buy Adidas brand sporting shoes if I can afford to. In fact, my basketball shoes, futsal shoes and even my running shoes (Adidas Soltect 2) are all of Adidas brand. Yay! That is why I can't wait for Manchester United's new official jersey to unveil-because Adidas will be the official new sponsor. Woohoo! :) So many of you actually love Adidas?

This is what I wear. How about you?


Cristiano Ronaldo Leaves A Vapor Trail [VIDEO]

Yours truly me loves football a lot and sometimes I love to look at commercials related to football. Some time ago I discovered a commercial showing Cristiano Ronaldo running riot against his opponents. Football players, linesman, coach, policemen, photographers and spectators are left in their wake as Ronaldo weaved past them one by one. After wading past all his hapless opponents, Ronaldo effortlessly smashed in the goal and turned around to look at all his fallen rivals. Wow~so the pair of shoes he is wearing Nike Mercurial Vapor is really that good huh!

Now he is not doing a sliding tackle~he is being sucked!

Even the linesman took a tumble because of the vacuum created by...

The coach seemed so nonchalant at the wake of destruction...

Perhaps he knows it is inevitable?

The police had to come in to rescue some football players.

The photographers are not spared as well...

There Cristiano Ronaldo...leaving everyone in his vapor trail!

He is unstoppable alright!

Initially Ronald's Mercurial Vapor commercial looked very funny. Then again when I viewed it again and again, I realized how potentially intricate Nike Mercurial Vapor has been engineered. IMHO Nike Mercurial Vapor boot has been meticulously crafted by Nike to suit football players who are explosively speedy, agile and skillful, just like Cristiano Ronaldo! His scoring record for Real Madrid is nothing but mind-blowingly incredible! Despite being compared to Messi a lot, I think Ronald is different from Messi and he is the better overall player.

The beautiful Nike Mercurial Vapor IX

Seemlessly designed.

I love the texture and colour.

Put this on and you can fly~literally!

Perhaps I should get a pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor too~who knows? Maybe I can run faster on the futsal court with this pair of beautiful purple shoes. I wonder if I can leave my opponents a "vapor trail" as well?  Must be expensive. Can Nike sponsor me a pair? Haha :D Now let us watch the video and see how Cristiano Ronaldo tears his opponents apart (Pssst~this does look from a scene from Shaolin Soccer?). Enjoy being left in the vapor trail.

Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo leaves a Vapor Trail!

P.S.: Despite yours truly me being an "Adidas" kind of athlete, I do love this pair of Nike shoes. :)


Crocodile Leather Shoes From My Father-in-law

This Chinese New Year has been an awesome one. The other day when I returned to Taiping, my father-in-law presented me with a gift. My father-in-law actually bought me a pair of Crocodile leather shoes. Woohoo! Imagine how happy I was (am) then. Never in my life have I worn a pair of genuine leather shoes and now I am the proud owner of a pair shoes embossed with the word-Crocodile. I am going to start working today and what better time to put on my new shoes for this auspicious day right?

*gasp* My very first genuine Crocodile leather shoes.

Look so leather-ly. Ha :D

Turn to your right...

And left...

It's a Crocodile.

You see? To start working on your auspicious day after celebrating Chinese New Year really brings in a lot of prosperity for me. :p My very first one appears in the form of a pair of shoes, thanks to my beloved father-in-law. I am really excited because I have not been wearing formal, working shoes for like 5 years. All these years, I either wear my jogging shoes or my basketball shoes to work. Guess I will look more presentable in this new pair of Crocodile (a~hem) leather shoes.

Why this Crocodile makes me feel so comfortable.

Ouh! Comfortzone!

Specially-made insole.

To give me maximum comfort and pleasure.

Awww...my feet feel so good.

What I love about my new pair of genuine (a~hem) Crocodile leather shoes is that they are really, really comfortable. When I am wearing it, I can feel how comfortable my feet are thanks to Crocodile's Comfortzone design. It's like walking on my 11inch mattress. Goodness! Besides, these pair of Crocodile shoes from my father-in-law instantly elevate my social status when I step up with it. My wife told me the shoes cost around RM200 to RM300. I wanna thank my father-in-law for his gift. :)

I am already classier thanks to this Crocodile!


My Adidas Soltec 2 Running Shoes

Behold my very first pair of branded shoes: Adidas Soltec 2. Yes, unlike you guys this is my very first time owning such an expensive pair of shoes. All this while the only shoes that I have bought are of Power Brand. I thought it would be suffice for me to buy a cheaper pair of footwear. But this year alone I have spent more than RM150 buying 3 pairs of Power Shoes. I have to admit that the quality of these shoes were not good at all. I guess this is what we call "You get what you paid!"

My very first pair of Adidas shoes.

That is why I decided to buy a new pair of running shoes which I hope, gonna last me more than a year. After seeking my wife's consent, I went to al-ikhsan in Dataran Pahlawan to buy my very first pair of branded running shoes. After browsing through (for almost half and hour) all the displayed shoes in the shop...I finally laid my eyes on this pair of Blue Adidas Soltec 2 running shoes. You must be asking...why I picked Adidas instead of Nike or even Reebok? Simply put, Adidas gives me that sophisticated feeling that neither Nike nor Reebok can offer.

Aww...look the 3 unmistakable strips...

My Adidas Soltec 2

Don't you think it is beautiful?

Wearing this pair lightweight athletic Adidas Soltec 2 running shoes makes both my feet feel so comfortable. Honestly my feet have never felt this good before. After I have laced up, I pound the pavement for my usual jog. The difference is so obvious. Running with Adidas Soltec 2 is like running on soft cushions. This is due to Adidas trademark adiPRENE cushioning, a shock-absorbing technology which takes in the impact when my feet land on the ground. Besides that Adidas Soltec 2 is also equipped with Torsion System which further protects both my feet especially my heel. Wow...so I get double-protection with these new running shoes of mine.

The secrets lie under the shoes...

adiPRENE absorber!

Heel-protecting Torsion System!

Do you know that when we are running, our feet will be subjected to damaging impact which is 7 times of our body weight. So if you are like 60kg...your poor feet will have to endure 420kg of punishing impact! So if your pair of running shoes does not come with good shock-absorbing technology, your feet (and even   your knees) will be suffering in the long run. I am glad to know that both my precious feet are well taken care by both Adidas' adiPRENE and Torsion System.

Hopefully this pair of Adidas Soltec 2 will be with me for more than 1 year.

I hope with my new Adidas Soltec 2 I can run longer without injuring myself. Besides that I really need a pair of good shock-absorbing running shoes as my feet were injured in an accident last year. I don't want to inflict more damage to my already injury-prone feet, do I? So if you are looking to buy a new pair of running shoes, invest in one that can protect your feet. I bought this Adidas Soltec 2 of mine for only RM159 at al-ikhsan which is a steal. Let's run together folks. :)

What running shoes you are using?


The Shoes I Secretly Bought For My Wife

Last night I brought my wife and baby to Jusco Bandaraya to buy the Osim Umist humidifier to be used in our room as we want to switch on the air conditioner quite often. Unfortunately the product has been discontinued by Osim. I believe it is because this egg-shaped humidifier was too fragile. Then we went to do some sightseeing around Jusco. We even had the opportunity to have a glimpse at the new GSC in Jusco Aeon Bandaraya Melaka. Aww...I wish I can step into this new cinema as soon as possible. Later we ventured into what I would love to call "Shoes Lane". Ha :D

The BUM shoes that I secretly got for my wifey.

Why would I wanna call it "Shoes Lane"? Well because there are a lot of shoes being sold at the plethora of shops there. Girls, ladies and women will be drooling at the sight of hundred pairs of shoes. As if those shoes high heels, sandals are FREE. That's exactly what had happened to my wife last night. My wife drooled when she saw pairs after pairs of shoes at discounted price waiting to be grabbed. Ha :D She tested a few pairs of shoes and sandals and decided to buy..ONLY one pair. I asked her if she wanted to buy another pair of BUM shoes which she was really fond of. She shook her head.

Wow...I think this look rather chic.

So I handed little Jordan to my wife and asked her to wait for me outside of the shop. While my wife was not looking, I immediately grabbed that pair of white BUM shoes that my wife love. I paid for both the shoes and quickly hid the BUM shoes inside my baby's bag and held the other one in my hand. My wife couldn't sniff anything amiss at all. Ha :D When we reached home, my wife opened my baby's bag to take out little Jordan milk bottle and diaper. She was taken aback to discover that pair of white BUM shoes in the bag. My wife's face gleamed and her smile told me she was very, very happy. Priceless.... :)


My New Powerful Shoes

Last week I had to say sorry to both my feet for hurting them. This is not the first I have caused them so much misery. My bad for indulging in that moment of madness. But the price I had to pay was rather excruciating. For a few days I couldn't walk properly and no basketball at all for me. The bloody red blisters that I inflicted was a gruesome sight to behold and the aftermath is really something I dreaded and regretted. So...will I foolishly repeat this crazy act again? WHY NOT? LOL :D

My new Power shoes.

Truth to be told, I had this kind of injury almost on a weekly basis back in secondary school. I would only put on proper shoes during the competition, so most of time I was running bare-footed while playing basketball. Hence my feet got injured quite often. But now...I wouldn't dare to do this regularly anymore. My wife will use her glaring eyes and pierce deep into my heart if she sees me get injured again! She is the only person that I am scared of right now. Or in other words, respect. I don't wanna see her angry or sad so I have to control my passion for basketball a little. :p

Behold my mean-looking powerful new "feet".

You see, last week I had to take off my shoes because my pair of black shoes were "flowerless" already. Although my wife doesn't like me to play basketball, she still won't really stop me from going to the court. So last week after she had blasted me with her "loud music", she actually bought me a new pair of shoes. My wife forked out her hard-earned RM90 to buy me this new multi-purpose, all-in-one Power shoes. It surely looks better and more powerful than my previous black shoes.

This rubber sole promises to give me more bite and grip!

I wanted to buy a cheaper one, but my wife insisted that I take this pair because it is more durable. Yep! This new Power is suitable for running, jogging, basketball, futsal, badminton and even mountain-hiking...or so claimed by the salesperson. Honestly this pair of shoes feels really solid and comfortable. The moment I wriggle my feet into them, I can feel the energy and power surging into my body from my shoes. Wow! I feel so powerful right now. Again thank you wifey. Muak~:-X

Don't make me kick you!


My Asadi & Power!

Although sometimes I love to splurge my hard-earned money, other times yours truly, me is really a damn freaking miser. This is especially true if I wanna spend something for myself. I will be so stingy and try not to pamper myself. However I don't mind giving all my money to my wifey. From time to time I love to shower her with some meaningful gifts and treat her to some expensive dinner. But I just don't see the point of treating myself. I wonder why? :/ Recently my shoes started to bare its tongue (my feet) and my sandals were losing its "flowers" (grip)! Being a scrooge, I refused to spend my money to buy a new pair of shoes and sandals.

Yay! My brand new shoes and sandals!

My missus realized about my "plight". She was afraid that I might slipped or tripped since my footwears are not in good condition anymore. So she dragged me to Mahkota Parade and made me buy something to put on. In the end I bought one pair of Power jogging shoes and a pair of ultra cool Asadi sandals. Honestly I love my jogging shoes. And my Asadi Sandals...they are simply awesome. Why? Because the sandals an actually assimilate with my feet and I can run with them as if they are a pair shoes. :)

I got the Pooooweeeeeer!

My ultra sexy Asadis!

Again thank you to my dearest wifey. I love my shoes and sandals a lot. So no more wearing mouth-gaping shoes. And definitely no more flowerless sandals that makes me feel like skating on ice. You see guys, sometimes it pays to be a scrooge right? So it was part of the plan lar? Muahahaha :D Enjoy your weekends folks.


My Line 7 Shoes!

Our forefathers can walk barefooted to carry out all sorts of their daily activities right? Imagine back then, everyone doesn't need to hook up a pair of shoes to walk around. No need to tie your shoelace, no need to wash your shoes and definitely no need to polish it! A great example are the hobbits in the movie LOTR! Then again their feet are pretty thick back then. Ha :D These days, we can't walk around shoeless anymore. Why? Because we might get injured...the eggs of tape worm could penetrate through our feet and grow in our body etc.!

No shoes, no problemo!

So shoes are indeed important right? A lot of us have different shoes to cater to our different daily activities. For example, you slip into your Nike basketball shoes if you want to slam some balls; you put on your shiny, black leather shoes when you are off to work; and you show off your green Croc while strolling around in the park with your pet dog! Different shoes for different occasion right? Likewise, I only have a pair of shoes for all virtually everything I do!

Ta~da! My Line 7 Shoe!

Enter my Line 7 all-in-one shoes! Although it is neither Adidas nor Nike, I still love it very much! Unlike a lot of you who have different shoes, I only have this baby of mine to accompany me to everywhere I go. I use it to play basketball, jogging, badminton, playing futsal, working, traveling and dating (with my wife)! You see how omnipotent it is! Then again you can say that I'm stingy or poverty stricken! LOL :D

My "Omnipotent" companian!

Do you guys know why I am so attracted to this brand, and not Nike, Reebok or Adidas? Well...it is because of the No. 7! Yes! I love number Seven very much and that's why I love shoes from Line 7! Actually this shoes of mine is meant for badminton...but heck, to me it is very special shoes that follows me wherever I go! I bought for only RM59.90 and it has lasted about 7 months now. Sounds like a pretty good bargain for me since it is a multipurpose shoes! :D

Don't you just love the "7"?

So how about you guys? How many pair of shoes do you have? Do you have different shoes for different activities? Mind sharing with us the brand too? LOL :p Have a nice day folks. Take care of your shoes ya.

As Japanese food lovers, we are always on the hunt for delicious Japanese food in Melaka. Recently, we visited Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka to sample its food. It aims to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melaka and so far, many reviews have suggested that it could be. So will it live up to its reputation and challenge Fugo Ryori or Wa Zen for the coveted title-best Japanese restaurant in Melaka? Let's find out.Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka ReviewWhen Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka has just opened, social media (Facebook groups) in Melaka was abuzz with its arrival. So many Malaccans have recommended this Japanese restaurant with raving reviews. After all, we do not have too many such Japanese restaurants to cater to our palates, no? Naturally, we were intrigued to discover if it is really that good.Honestly speaking, I am really happy with the opening of Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka as it is just a stone's throw away from my home. In fact, I pass by this restaurant every single day. 😁 Strategically located in Cheng area, this corner lot restaurant is easily accessible via many different routes, making it hard to miss since it is located along the main roads.Fujiya Japanese Restaurant DecorationsCan you see the special spot with the sakura blooms?If you visit this restaurant at night, you will be mesmerized by the beautiful and clever use of lighting, especially outside of the restaurant. At the entrance, a Samurai will greet your arrival. You will need to be seated. More importantly, you will need to make a booking before you actually can dine at Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka. Otherwise, you will leave feeling disappointed. That is how famous this restaurant is.Of Seagulls and WhalesInteresting lighting fixtures!Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka is a bit small compared to the other more famous Japanese restaurants in Melaka. The seating arrangements might be a bit "cramped" if you ask me. However, with clever use of visual decorations (dangling whales), warm lighting, and the right choices of colour, the whole space looks more spacious, comfortable, and calming. This is the zen ambiance that all Japanese restaurants should have, no?Once seated, we could either scan a QR code to start ordering or refer to the menu. Of course, we insisted on the menu to have a better view of what we could enjoy. As expected, we truly had a hard time deciding what to eat as there is really a lot to choose from. Thanks to a helpful waitress, we got our orders sorted out.Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka MenuAfter placing our orders, we started to admire the beautiful decorations inside Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka. There were lights in the form of whales and seagulls. There was even a special enclave in the restaurant that was decorated with beautiful, vivid blooms of cherry blossoms. The next time I visit this restaurant again, I hope I get to book this special place. Ha 😁Oshibori-Hot TowelsThis is rareInterestingly, the first plate to land on our table was not food but a plate of Oshibori (hot towels). These hot towels are "Served" for us to clean our hands prior to our dinner. This was definitely a first that no other Japanese restaurants are practising in Melaka. Soon, our Shake Hosomaki (Salmon Sushi Roll) arrived to whet our appetite. I love the fresh raw salmon sushi rolls with wasabi.Shake Hosomaki (Salmon Sushi Roll)Up next was our Kamo Chahan (Smoke Duck Fried Rice). Love this bowl of fried rice with slices of smoked duck. Every grain of the fragrant fried rice was perfectly cooked and dovetailed well with the fried eggs. The addition of chopped spring onion complemented the fried rice. Not bad for our appetisers.Kamo Chahan (Smoke Duck Fried Rice)Look at these two rascals! 😂Since it was my special day, I ordered Taraba Temaki (Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll) for myself. I enjoyed the crispy soft shell crab which really combined well with the lettuce, roe, and of course the pearl rice as well as seaweed. With the addition of some wasabi, you would be getting an explosive mixture of flavours and texture in your mouth.Taraba Temaki (Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll)OMG! 🤤We ordered Unagi Teishoku (Eel Set Meal) for my father. He really enjoyed his healthy Japanese set meal of sliced tender unagi meat, pearl rice, miso soup, chawanmushi, vegetables, and slices of watermelons. I stole one piece of the unagi (perhaps two) and it was really scrumptious. Now I know why it was so expensive.Unagi Teishoku (Eel Set Meal)For eel lovers 😍For Jasmine girl, besides the aforementioned Kamo Chahan, we also ordered Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl) for her. Do you know that Oyakodon (親子丼) can literally be translated into parent-and-child (Oya-ko) rice bowl (don)? This is because the dish is made up of chicken and egg. This classic comfort food from the Land of the Rising Sun comprises tender slices of chicken, onions, and eggs. They are then simmered with umami-rich sauce before being added to a bowl of steamy hot pearl rice. Jasmine girl really loved this a lot thanks to the umami sauce.Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)As for Jordan boy who thinks he is like Naruto from Konoha, we ordered Tori Ramen Shiro Dashi Soup (Chicken Ramen Soup). With halves of eggs, tender marinated chicken cutlets, ramen submerged in thick, creamy and flavourful Shiro Dashi broth, this is a must-order if you like to eat ramen. It is always satisfying to enjoy a huge bowl of ramen, right?Tori Ramen Shiro Dashi Soup (Chicken Ramen Soup)Stealing her brother's Ramen 😂My main course was the toothsome Salmon Shiozake Teishoku (salted Salmon Set Meal). Love the brine in my salmon with a hint of teriyaki sauce. I wish the portion of salmon could be bigger. 😂 Then again I really enjoyed the whole teishoku with fragrant pearl rice, miso soup, chawanmushi, salad, and of course, watermelon slices. This is what we call a balanced diet, right?Salmon Shiozake Teishoku (salted Salmon Set Meal)We did order another 3 side dishes to share among us. The first one was Hawaii Shake Cheese Pizza (Hawaii Salmon Cheese Pizza). Whenever we dine in Japanese restaurants, we would love to order their pizzas. This is because the pizzas are usually different and the pizza crust is usually thinner and crispier. We utterly enjoyed the shreds of salmon and chunks of cheese burnt to perfection to give this pizza its unique texture and taste.Hawaii Shake Cheese Pizza (Hawaii Salmon Cheese Pizza)No Japanese food spread is ever complete without an independent plate of huge maki, no? Behold our irresistibly scrumptious Unagi Cheese Maki (Eel Cheese Roll). I must say that we really could not get enough of this combination of cheese and eel wrapped in the firm but fluffy pearl rice with seaweed. I still could not forget the melting cheese and savoury unagi in my mouth. *drooling* 🤤Unagi Cheese Maki (Eel Cheese Roll)To eat or not to eat: He likes the cheese but not the UnagiOur last side order was the peculiar Tuna Handdokeki (Tuna Towels). I must admit that presentation-wise, this did not look like Japanese cuisine. For a moment, it reminded me of scallion pancakes that Jay Chou used to promote. LOL 😂 Don't get me wrong, it still tasted good but perhaps I did not expect it to look the way it was.Tuna Handdokeki (Tuna Towels)As for drinks, we had the usual hot green tea. We did get one glass of free, complimentary chocolate ice cream after we had liked and followed Fujiya's official Facebook page. This barter exchange was not bad at all. All in all, our Japanese dinner was a gratifying one, to say the least.Is Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka Halal or Not?To my Muslim friends who love Japanese food, you will be slightly disappointed to know that Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka is not Halal-certified. Then again, rest assured that all the food served and sold is actually pork-free. The only reason why this restaurant does not get any Halal certification is that it serves alcoholic beverages. So if you want to enjoy authentic Japanese food and do not mind the missing halal cert, then this is the Japanese restaurant you should try.Free Chocolate DessertsThis is delicious!So will we return to Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka again in the future? I am sure the answer is yes since it is so near to our home. There is no doubt that this newly-opened Fujiya ranks as one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melaka. I believe that Fugo Ryori is still a wee bit better compared to Fujiya. So have you visited Fujiya Japanese Restaurant Melaka?

Nestle Musang King Ice Cream Price and Review

If you are a durian lover like me, you will love everything that is made from or of durian! We have tried various durian desserts before this but we now have a new durian dessert favourite. Behold the Nestle Musang King Ice Cream sticks. The company claims that this ice cream is made from real Musang King durian flesh. Wow! Really?Nestle Musang King Ice Cream ReviewI remembered vividly that this Nestle Musang King Ice Cream stick was first officially released during the Chinese New Year back in February 2022. Of course, it was a hot-selling ice cream during the lunar new year festival. In fact, I had to go to a few different shops before we could get our hands on this elusive ice cream made from Musang King Durian.Ice Cream Made From Real Durian Musang King!So how good is this Nestle Musang King Ice Cream? I have tried many different durian-flavoured ice creams from various brands in the past and I must say that this is it. Nestle has successfully replicated the taste of the Musang King Durian in their ice cream. You will definitely love the unmistakable inviting Musang King Durian aroma and even the taste is mighty close to the real Musang King Durian. Even its shape resembles the flesh of the durian.Nestle Musang King Ice Cream Where To Buy?The texture was rich, smooth, and creamy, making you drool for more! At times, I could not help but felt like I was eating authentic Musang King durian, albeit chilled ones. Fortunately, this Nestle Musang King Ice Cream is quite common and you can buy them at a lot of shops such as sundry shops, 7-11 stores, supermarkets, and virtually everywhere. You can buy it online as well at Shopee and Lazada.Nestle Musang King Ice Cream PriceRM6.50?All in all, I must admit that this is by far the best durian ice cream I have ever eaten so far. Kudos to Nestle for finding the right mixture and "formula" to turn out King of fruits into ice cream. At the time of the writing, the Nestle Musang King Ice Cream comes with a price tag of RM6.50 which I thought is reasonable. After all, real durian is used, no? I don't mind forking a bit more money for really tasty durian ice cream. What about you?[ Best deal on Lazada ##thumbs-up## ][ Best deal on Shopee ##thumbs-up## ]

Yours truly me and my family had a feast fit for a king at this international 4-star hotel for its Ramadhan Buffet dinner, and boy, did we have a good time. Everything from the delectable appetisers to the mouth-watering main courses was absolutely delicious!Ramadan Buffet Dinner at Swiss-Garden Hotel MelakaSwiss-Garden Hotel Melaka is located in the heart of Melaka City, just a stone's throw away from several must-see historical landmarks such as Jonker Street, Christ Church, and Sam Po Kong Temple, just to name a few. If you want to visit Melaka during the holy month, it is undeniably one of the best hotels for a staycation. This Ramadhan Buffet completely blew my mind with its diverse array of gastronomic delights. Even my picky children and demanding wifey praised this delectable Ramadan buffet spread.Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka's Buffet MenuThis year's Ramadhan Buffet theme that has been chosen by Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka is "Citarasa Muhibah", which translates to The Flavour of Camaraderie. I know foodies will be astounded by the sheer amount of food available. Not only will you be able to feast on our favourite Malaysian dishes, but you will also be able to sample a plethora of international platters. In other words, you will be spoiled for choices.Roasted Lamb With Black Pepper or Mint SauceAre you ready to enjoy the feast?WARNING: This Ramadhan Buffet is ideal for those who want to overindulge in Melaka's finer cuisine. In other words, gluttons like me will devour all the food we can get our hands on. First and foremost, as soon as we were given the go-ahead, yours truly went straight to the roasted lamb station. As expected, there was already a long line of people with empty plates waiting to taste the delectable "Kambing Golek." The fragrant Kambing Briyani complemented the grilled lamb with its soft, fluffy texture. There were three sauces to go with your Briyani rice and grilled lamb, and I chose the black pepper sauce, which made the entire dish even more enticing.Indulge in Traditional Local CuisinesDaging Salai Masak Lemak Cili PadiTelur DadarKari Ikan Dengan Kacang BendiSayur Goreng JawaSambal Ayam Serai Limau PurutKambing BriyaniWho loves Kerabu?Kerabu Ayam Pantai TimurKerabu PegagaKerabu TelurUrap Kacang BotolLaksa anyone?Those who prefer something more traditional will be pleased to learn that there will be nasi ulam available, as well as raw vegetables such as Kerabu Ayam Pantai Timur, Kerabu Telur, and Kerabu Pegaga just to name a few.

I'm sure you're drooling by now, just like me. I was literally at a loss for words when deciding which cuisine to try.

You will have the creamy mussel meuniere with mushroom, teriyaki chicken, deep-fried fish with three-flavour sauce, Kari Kambing Ubi Kentang, Wok-fried Buttermilk prawn, and Hong Kong Kailan with salted fish. The fiery curry brought out the meat's savoury flavour. Make sure you have a few servings of these. For those who enjoy skewered meat served with a distinctive chilli paste, there were also chicken and beef satays.Satay is a Must-have During Ramadan BuffetKari DalcaKari AyamRoti JalaRoti PrataMurtabak AyamMy kids ate the freshly made murtabak ayam with gusto. They had more than one serving, which was crunchy on the outside and incredibly tasty on the inside, thanks to its filling. My kids were busy dipping murtabak into the dal, so it must have been delicious. We then tried the amazing spread of sushi, which was also incredibly good. I am surprised that this Ramadan Buffet still offers Japanese delicacies for us to have more varieties. Those looking for a less spicy option can try western spaghetti and all kinds of pasta. I ordered mine with a chicken bolognese sauce on the side. I was so surprised when I bit into my pasta...it was so soft and springy at the same time-AL DANTE. The chicken bolognese sauce was so luscious that I kept spooning more into my gaping mouth.Sushi Platter For Japanese Food LoversMarinated OctopusPasta For Italian Food LoversWe were almost full by that point...but our bloated stomachs weren't going to stop us from enjoying one of the best dishes at the Ramadhan Buffet-DESSERTS!

There were Kerepek Ubi Pedas, Kerepek Bawang, and Rempeyek, all of which were delicious. Another plus for me about Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka is its coffee machines! Any hotel that provides a free flow of gourmet-style coffee deserves my attention and a mention. After my filling meals, I drank at least four cups of coffee. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how much I can drink. If I could stay longer, I'm sure I could have a few more lattes and cappuccinos. 😁Of Keropok and KerepekCan you see me? 😂Beverages: Choose What You Want To DrinkI came here for the coffee machines 😆Let's Enjoy Our Ramadan Buffet Dinner!Greta food and amazing ambience!Overall, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed the good food here and hope to return to sample more of their delectable morsels of cuisines and desserts.

This Chinese New Year, our family had the opportunity to enjoy Calmex Abalone priced at RM799 (US$199) which is the most expensive abalone we have ever eaten in our life. For the uninitiated, abalones are the must-have premium delicacies during the lunar new year besides the white pomfret fish. We have always had abalones during our most celebrated festival but not one which is this huge and of course expensive.Calmex Abalone Review-The Most Expensive Abalone I Have EatenApparently, the Calmex Abalone we had sampled is harvested fresh from Mexico and canned by Ocean Garden Products which has been in this business for the past 50 years. It is understood that Calmex Abalones are wild abalones and only the finest will be chosen. It has been regarded as one of the best abalones in the world thanks to its distinctive strong flavour, famous tasty texture, and of course, its crazy, huge size. Are you curious to find out why it is regarded as one of the most expensive abalones in the world? Read on to find out.Why is Calmex Abalone So Expensive?My family and I have enjoyed abalones on a regular basis as they are becoming increasingly affordable. The common canned abalone prices that you can find in supermarkets can range from RM20 to RM120. You can even get one single abalone as cheap as RM5 in hypermarkets like Lotus's during the Chinese New Year. So why is Calmex Abalone so expensive?Look at its HUGE size!For starters, Calmex Abalone is so damn freaking expensive thanks to its HUGE size. The one we had eaten was not only thick and big but also had a whopping nett weight of 454 grams (16 oz) which is crazy enormous. As you can see from my photo, this Calmex Abalone is almost as big as my palm and definitely bigger than my clenched fist. Yes! So in our pink can of Calmex Abalone, there is only one gigantic abalone inside of it.Almost as big as my palm!Apart from that, Calmex Abalone is expensive as only the best wild abalone of the required size will be harvested. The species of wild abalone chosen is the yellowish pink abalone which is scientifically known as Haliotis Corrugata. Since all Calmex Abalones are hand-harvested from the wild instead of being farmed, their quantities are really limited and that is why each can will cost you a lot of money. Then again, I assure you that you will be enjoying the finest, premium abalone so it is worth every single penny spent.How To Identify Authentic Calmex AbaloneBuying Calmex Abalone to be enjoyed with family members is very costly no thanks to its expensive price tag. Our Calmex Mexican Abalone is sold at an eye-watering price of RM799 (US$199). So how can we ensure that this wild Mexican abalone that we purchase is original? In other words, how can we identify an authentic Calmex Abalone so that we will not be cheated? You do not want your so-called most expensive abalone to turn out to be fake, no?Yes! This is authentic Calmex Abalone alright!The authenticity of the Calmex Abalone can be verified by looking at its iconic pink lithographed can. The lithographed top of the can is also embossed with the name "CAL MEX" from the inside. Moreover, the top of the can is also printed with the legend "Ocean Garden Products Inc" and Abalone Product of Mexico" inside the red ship wheel design. By checking these features, you can minimize the risk of buying a counterfeit Calmex Abalone.Do You Still Need To Cook Canned Calmex Abalone?The answer is no. You do not need to cook your canned Calmex Abalone. Out of the can, the abalone can already be served as it has been cooked. So you can eat it straight from the can. Of course, we chose to reheat it so that it tasted better. Besides the abalone, there is also some soup of water and salt that you can use as you cooking broth or as a sauce.Ready-to-eat abalone out of the can!Rest assured that the Mexican Calmex Abalone has been cleaned, bled and had its gut trimmed before being cooked and canned. Hence, the moment I opened the can I was really happy to see the huge, "golden" abalone waiting to be served. It was quite a sight to behold as we have never ever seen such a huge abalone in our life before.How to Eat Calmex AbaloneAs Calmex Abalone is ready to be served and eaten, you can enjoy it straight from the can but it will taste even better with your other dishes and of course, rice. Though no cooking is needed, it is highly suggested that you reheat your Calmex Abalone to maintain its tenderness and taste. You can also simply reheat the abalone together with its soup by using a microwave. Voila! Your huge, most expensive abalone is ready to be eaten.I am ready to slice up this huge abalone!After reheating our abalone, we decided to slice it into thin slices and mix them together with our other dishes. We got at least 20 slices at least which is a lot. We then mixed our slices of Calmex Abalone together with broccoli together with lots of delicious shiitake mushrooms. Finally, the soup from the can which had been seasoned was used as a garnish to complete our serving abalone.Calmex Abalone ReviewShould you be paying RM799 or US$200 just for a can of Calmex Abalone? The answer is a resounding yes if you can afford to. Honestly speaking, I have never eaten such a delicious abalone before in my life before. Tipping the scale at 454 grams (16 oz), this huge wild Mexican abalone is really worth its weight in gold. After all, it is the most expensive abalone I have ever tried in my entire life.I am not trying to exaggerate but this premium Calmex Abalone was ridiculously delicious. It was tender, juicy and flavoursome. Once you have tried it, you will always remember its unforgettable taste and texture. Similar to scallop and squid, it was lusciously delectable thanks to its exquisitely distinct and unique flavour. Now I know why a lot of people are willing to fork out a lot of money for this huge abalone.It is time to enjoy our RM799 (US$200) expensive abalone!We really could not get enough of its appetizing buttery and rich salty taste. Its perfect chewiness texture also hits the right spot, making it so irresistible. Thanks to its large size, our sliced Calmex Abalone still tasted like a scrumptious steak. Amazingly, this abalone was really fresh for a canned abalone. After all, only the finest and premium quality wild abalone will be hand-harvested by divers at the bottom of the seabed. So I am giving a full 5-star rating for Calmex Abalone and I really hope I get to enjoy this every Chinese New Year. Click here to buy your own authentic Calmex Abalone.

I personally love Restoren Zim Sum as the restaurant is really huge, spacious, clean and the best part is its open-air concept. All the tables have had ample distances which of course gave us peace of mind while we were dining in to enjoy our traditional oriental breakfast.Restoren Zim Sum Menu-What Dim Sum To Eat?You will be spoilt for choices!After being seated, a waitress came and asked us what we wanted to have for our beverages. So rule number 1 when you are at a dim sum restaurant would be to order tea. We got ourselves a pot of Pu’er tea (普洱茶) which would be ideal to help us stuff even more dim sum down our throat. LOL 😋 Soon, another waitress pushed a trolley with layers of bamboo steamers filled with countless dim sum for you to choose from. I don't recall seeing any menu, so what you see is what you get. You can of course go to the self-service counters to grab even more dim sum to gratify your hunger pangs.Dim Sum-Traditional Chinese Food!Let's dig in!At the self-service counters, I really had a hard time deciding what to eat, literally. I was really amazed at the unbelievably wide selection of dim sum available at Restoren Zim Sum. I wish I could try them all but unfortunately, the limited storage size of my stomach said otherwise. Eventually, the traditional dim sum together with some children-favourite were handpicked by me. Let's find out what we had indulged in, shall we?Some of the Dim Sum We Had OrderedWhich one do you want?No dim-sum breakfast will ever be complete if you do not have Har Gow or Xia Jiao (虾饺) to begin with. We loved our shrimp dumplings which contained fresh, springy shrimp and some pork lard, wrapped in a delicate rice flour skin. Some claim that the quality and taste of Har Gow define a dim sum restaurant and the ones that we had could clearly vouch for Restoren Zim Sum. So do you usually order these must-have shrimp dumplings when you go to any dim sum restaurant?Har Gow or Xia Jiao (虾饺) - Shrimp DumplingsSiu Mai (烧卖) - Pork DumplingsThe two must-have dim sum!Up next was of course the iconic Siu Mai (烧卖), also known as pork dumplings. Our Siu Mai pork dumplings were really addictive thanks to the juicy minced pork which was really flavourful. Savour it with a dollop of fragrant chilli sauce and your taste buds will be dancing to the bursting of flavours in your mouth-Speaking of which, did you know there is a dedicated station for condiments and sauces in this restaurant? Mix-an-match the condiments and sauces with your dim sum and you will be on an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.Various Condiments and Sauces For Your Dim SumMix and match your sauces and condiments!Our Jordan boy and Jasmine girl could not get enough of their deep-fried dumplings. They really enjoyed their scrumptious shrimp and pork dumplings which were crazy crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had steamed sausage rolls, steamed stuffed tofu skin rolls, egg tarts and fried radish cake (菜头粿). The egg tarts with flaky pastry crust, brimming with creamy egg custards really swept our kids off their feet. I had a bite and it was really good.Heavenly Deep-fried Dim SumWho can resist the temptations of the deep-fried wonders!Our plate of fried radish cake (菜头粿) was equally appetizing thanks to its fragrant wok scent and slices of my favourite lap cheong (腊肠) also known as Chinese Sausage. However, the best dim sum I had at Restoren Zim Sum was the irresistible minced pork balls wrapped with bacon strips. The combination of the savoury broth together with the tender bacon as well as the luscious minced pork inside, made me crown this dim sum dish as the Kin! It was so ridiculously delectable that I actually went hunting for another plate but of course, there was none left.Steamed Sausage RollsSteamed Stuffed Tofu Skin RollsCreamy Egg TartsFried Radish Cake (菜头粿)Bacon Pork BallsThe best dim sum I had! 🤤All in all, my wife, both my children and I had a great dim sum feast at this restaurant. I am glad that the dim sum served here lived up to its glowing reputation. It is a shame that we could not eat more as there were really too many different varieties of dim sum for us to enjoy. Make sure you starve yourself before paying this dim sum restaurant a visit.

7 Health Benefits of Eating Dragon Fruits

Do you know that there are at least 7 health benefits of eating dragon fruits? Perhaps a lot of you have never seen this exotic fruit before in your entire lifetime. In fact, I, myself had never really got enjoy this rather peculiar fruit until I was late in my teens. Interestingly, dragon fruits have originated from central and south of America.The dragon fruit is harvested from the climbing cactus grown in tropical countries. They are now commercially farmed in Mexico, Central America, South America, Israel and Asia especially in Malaysia. That is why we Malaysians get to enjoy dragon fruits all year long. The fruit resembles a "dragon egg" with spikes shooting up like fire around it. Due to its rather unusual shape, it is known as the dragon fruit!Dragon Fruit Is One of The Most Nutritious Fruits AroundDragon fruit is loaded with lots of beneficial nutrients to help you stay healthy and fit. Due to its nutritional value, each premium, high-quality dragon fruit will usually cost you somewhere around RM8 to RM13 (US$2-US4) depending on its weight. And the more sought-after red purplish flesh variant will of course be more expensive than the dragon fruit with white flesh. So have you tried eating dragon fruit before?Dragon Fruit Nutritional Values for 1 Serving (230 grams)Calories: 137 caloriesProtein: 4 gramsFat: 0 gramsCarbohydrates: 30 gramsFibre: 8 gramsVitamin C: 9% of the RDIVitamin E: 4% of the RDIIron: 8% of the RDIMagnesium: 15% of the RDI7 Health Benefits of Eating Dragon Fruit1. Rich in AntioxidantsDragon fruits are rich in antioxidants such as phenolic acid, flavonoids, and betacyanin. These naturally occurring antioxidants can help to protect your body cell from free radicals. In other words, eating dragon fruits can help reduce free radicals in your body which are the causes of diseases such as cancer and premature ageing.2.

Indulge in as many of these savoury fruits which are delectable and naturally sweet without any worry that you will be consuming too much fat.4. Rich in IronIf you are looking for food that can help you to boost the iron in your blood, then you should really eat dragon fruits. For the uninitiated, iron is crucial in helping our body to send oxygen to every part of our body. On top of that, the vitamin C in the dragon fruit will enhance the absorption of iron.5. Rich in PrebioticsI am surprised to find out that dragon fruits do contain prebiotics. Prebiotics are the food that the good bacteria-probiotics in our gut feeds on. hence, eating dragon fruits can promote the growth of the good bacteria aka probiotics lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in your intestines. Besides helping to digest your food, these good bacteria will also be important to help you kill those bad viruses and bacteria that will cause diseases. This health benefit alone will be more than enough for you to start eating more dragon fruits right?6. It Lowers Blood SugarResearch has shown that certain compounds in dragon fruits can help to indirectly lower your blood sugar. Pancreatic cells that are damaged can be repaired to restore their normal capacity to produce insulin. In other words, eating dragon fruits can protect your pancreas and boost insulin production which in turn lowers your blood sugar level.7. Boost Your Immune SystemWith so many aforementioned health benefits, it is obvious that eating a few servings of dragon fruits each week will certainly help to boost your immune system. Rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, rest assured that your immune system is in good hands. So eating dragon fruits is like taking dietary supplements.How To Eat Dragon Fruits (Or Drink It)Yours truly me, is not a big fan of eating fruits but I do enjoy dragon fruits a lot as it feels like I am eating ice cream. I highly advised that you store your dragon fruits in the refrigerator. It tastes better when it is slightly chilled. You can just cut it into 2 halves and start scooping it like how you would with ice cream. Don't be alarmed if your pee (and stool) turn slightly purplish-pink after eating dragon fruit as it is completely normal. You can also make your own dragon fruit juice if you prefer to drink it rather than eat it.


As our family has been eating quite a lot of vegetables in our diet recently, we decided to be total carnivorous for one of our meals. To gratify for urge for meat we ordered KFC Zinger Stacker and Zinger Double Down burgers for our dinner. By now we are all very familiar with burger offerings from KFC featuring the iconic zinger patties right?KFC Zinger Stacker and Zinger Double Down BurgersHave you tried any of them?So if you want some a little bit more bizarre than your usual burgers, you have to try both the KFC Zinger Stacker and Zinger Double Down Burgers. My wife opted for the huge Zinger Stacker burger with two Zinger patties with the unmistakable Jalapeno cheese wedged my 2 burger buns at both ends. There were some vegetables to make her burger look a bit "healthier". LOL 😁KFC Zinger StackerLooks quite wholesome, no?As for me, I prefer something meatier. That was why mine was the "All Meat. All Man" (sounds kinda sexist 😂) Zinger Double Down Burger which was loaded with meat, meat, and more meat. My very first KFC Double Down burger was devoured back in 2012. Wow! How time has flown huh! To recap Double Down burger is indeed very sinfully meaty with 2 Zinger patties, 1 scrumptious chicken ham dressed with equally inviting mayonnaise. That's it! No vegetables, no bread just meat!KFC Zinger Stacker and Zinger Double Down BurgersAll meat~all man!As for our 2 kids, we ordered the Zinger Fillet Nasi Lemak KFC combo for them. It is quite similar to the previous Nasi Lemak Atuk that we had earlier this year. We also had colonel rice with fried chickens. I love the sambal provided but the zinger fillets were not as crunchy as the ones we had for our burgers. Guess they were prepared at different times. So timing is quite important when it comes to enjoying your fast food.Nasi Lemak Atuk Ayam Goreng and Zinger Fillet KFCThe sambal is darn tasty!Though not highly recommended due to its nutritional values and calories, I do believe that we can indulge in fast food from time to time, moderately. This time around we had decided to sink our teeth into the spicy chickens and burgers of KFC instead. We truly enjoyed our KFC Zinger Stacker and Zinger Double Down Burgers for sure. Both are unbelievably spicy, delicious, and heavenly. 🤤

Wa Zen Melaka Serves Authentic Japanese Cuisines

My family and I really love indulging in Japanese food and in Melaka there are only a few restaurants serving authentic Japanese cuisines. We have previously dined in Fugo Ryori Melaka and after that visit, we decided to patronize Wa Zen Melaka for my wife's birthday. Obviously, this birthday dinner had taken place before the MCO. So how does Wa Zen compare to Fugo Ryori? Let's find out.Wa Zen Melaka Serves Authentic Japanese CuisineWelcome to one of the best Japenese restaurants in Melaka.If you ask any Japanese food lovers for their recommendations of Japanese cuisines in Melaka, Wa Zen Japanese Melaka is definitely one of the renowned names that will be mentioned along with Fugo Ryori. Interestingly, both of these Japanese restaurants are situated very close to one another in Melaka Raya (Melaka) but I am sure they are not affiliated in any way. Guess, a lot of the good food in Melaka can be found in Melaka Raya.Zen-like interior design at Wa Zen MelakaUnlike Fugo Ryori, Wa Zen Melaka seemed to be a bit more spacious compared to the former as the restaurant consists of two conjoined units. Wooden furniture and fixtures can be seen everywhere in Wa Zen Melaka for its decorations and interior design, giving out that zen-like ambiance that is synonymous with Japanese restaurants. Together with the dimly lit atmosphere, you will have a great setting for a romantic dinner.Let's start ordering our food!Wa Zen Melaka prides itself in serving authentic Japanese food and that made ordering what we wanted to eat kind of difficult for us. Looking at the menu confirmed our initial dilemma but still, we have to decide as we only have that much space in our tummies. The first to land on our dining table was Karei Udon (RM18). We particularly love this lip-smacking udon in Japanese-style curry to whet our appetite. It was spicy but just nice for our liking.Karei UdonAvocado Unagi MakiLove the combination of unagi, avocado and mango!Our next Japanese dish was the unbelievably tasty Avocado Unagi Maki (RM28). This certainly had raised my eyebrows. I couldn't believe that this unagi could be so delicious. The reverse rice roll filled with unagi and cheese, topped with avocado and mango. The combination of avocado, mango, and unagi had really brought out that tantalizing fusion aftertaste.Yaki UdonKatsu Karei RiceYou just can't get enough of Japanese curryUp next we had the "playful" Yaki Udon (RM22) which your taste buds would surely have fun trying to decipher to ingredients used. Our Japanese-styled fried udon with vegetables and meat was really a delight. Like I have aforementioned, our family is a big fan of spicy food and Japanese curry, so we ordered Katsu Karei Rice (RM22). Nothing beats eating fragrant pearl rice topped with deep fried pork belly and course the curry from the Land of The Rising Sun.Salmon Tempura MakiExquisite and of course tastyAfter savouring the Avocado Unagi Maki, we tried another different assortment of Maki. Cut into 8 pieces, the Salmon Tempura Maki (RM24) were really colourful and flavourful. We truly enjoyed our deep fried reverse rice roll filled with crab stick and salmon in batter. So many flavours to enjoy in one single bite...and ouh yeah don't forget to dip it with the refreshingly piquant wassabi.GyozaBacon PizzaNo feast would be perfect with the addition of one or two side orders right? To satisfy the "gluttons" in us, we ordered a plate of gyoza (RM10) to complement our meal. The fried dumplings were really delectable especially when you dip them into the Japanese soy sauce. We also really liked the crispy and aromatic Bacon Pizza (RM24). Dressed with fish roe and chunks of avocado, the pizza was surprisingly good. Then again, I still prefer the Shake Pizza from Fugo Ryori which was more crispy and luscious.Coco and Vanilla Ice Cream WaffleJasmine girl posing with our beverages 😁I guess the 4 of us had walloped quite a lot of food, right? *Buuurppp* Of course, since this was a birthday celebration, we should at least have something sweet at the end, no? The dessert that we ordered was Coco and Vanilla Ice Cream Waffle (RM15) which was a fitting, chilling treat to sump up wifey's dinner. As for beverages, we quenched our thirst and extinguished our flaming taste buds with apple juice, orange juice and not to forget the must have Japanese beverage-hot green tea.Dining with your family is always a priceless moment!Wifey with her 2 big darling babies 😍Happy birthday my beloved wifey 😘All in all, we truly enjoyed ourselves in Wa Zen Melaka. My wife was of course very happy to be able to celebrate her big day in one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melaka. It is definitely up there along with Fugo Ryori when it comes to mouth-watering authentic Japanese cuisines. If you want to indulge in fresh, scrumptious and "proven" Japanese food, then you really need to give Wa Zen Melaka a try.Wa Zen Japanese Restaurant MelakaAddress: 38, Jalan Melaka Raya 15, Taman Melaka Raya, 75000 Melaka.Website: https://www.wazen.com.myContact: 06-2823882Opening Hours: Daily (12:30p.m.-3:30pm, 5:30-8:00p.m.)Wa Zen Japanese Restaurant Melaka Map
