Antipodean Cafe, KL (Wisma Tan & Tan)

If you're looking for authentic western breakfast and more, the antipodean cafe is for you. Loads of expats eat here so you know the quality of food is good. I had a big breakfast (RM22) with scrambled eggs, hashbrown potato, a pork sausage, fried mushrooms and freshly baked bread. Everything seems to be made in house and from the best ingredients. Probably the best big breakfast in KL. I give it 8/10 

California Burger

 I tried California Burger today at Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. It costs close to rm20 for a burger meal. The beef patty is fresh and juicy but i think the fluffy yet flavourful buns won it for me. Probably one of the best burgers i have ever tasted . If thisis the  taste of California , Im already there . I give it a 7/10

Foochow Special stall, BDC

Theres a stall in BDC at the "Three Food Cafe" which is a hidden gem. The stall is behind Everrise supermarket

Make your way to this one for authentic Foochow food in Kuching. I'm guessing the owner is from Sibu, the ancestral home of the foochow chinese because his noodles are very good

The stand out dish for me was the mee sua, a delicate combination of light chicken broth, tender chicken , a boiled egg and fine noodles. At only RM4 if i remember correctly, this dish might have come out of a 5 star restaurant as the flavours work well with each other.

The other noodles, the simple but tasty kampua mee was also priced around RM4 . The boiled noodles, mixed with lard is a great snack. However the kampua mee was a bit dry that day.

I'd go to this stall for the meesua. Overall due to the authentic taste and cheap pricing i give Foochow special a 7/10. 

Breakfast at Gim's burger Kuching

Gim's burger is a popular burger joint in Tabuan, Kuching near lodge school. The decor is nice and rustic however the floors were a bit sticky that day

The eggs n franks was frankly confusing. I didn't quite like the taste. The toasted bread was ok but the oven baked eggs and franks just didn't work for me

The pancakes were ok. 

Overall i was quite dissapointed with the quality of food and it was a bit pricey. I guess i much prefer their burgers. 3/10 

Marco Polo Dim Sum Restaurant

Marco Polo is a dim sum restaurant in Jalan Raja Chulan KL. It is best to come a bit earlier because it is very busy during lunch hour. Marco Polo's dimsum dishes are prepared fresh and has its own signature taste

This is as good as it gets for dimsum in KL. It may be slightly pricier but i believe you get what you pay here. Expect to pay about RM105 for all the usual dimsum dishes like har kao , siu may and more.

The restaurant itself is very clean and the service is fast 

I rate it a 7.5 out of 10 for a dimsum restaurant. 

KTM Duke 390

The KTM Duke 390 might just be my first bike. I went to have a look at GHC Greenroad Kuching which is the local KTM dealer. 

The first logical thing to ask i guess is the price, it retails for MYR38,000. Loan repayments can vary according to your downpayment and loan tenure. 

The bike looks great and is well made, you might think that 38k is a lot but the build quality makes up for it. The engine is a 1 cylinder 4 stroke water cooled engine making 43hp. The bike is agile as it weighs only 139kg. 

For me, the selling point is the great supernaked sports look, the striking colour with hints of ktm orange and the modern looking electronic speedo. I think it would be hard to find a better bike for beginner riders. 

I might post about how it rides soon, keep updated with my blog. Why not go to GHC in Greenroad Kuching to have a look at the bikes available? 

Wavehouse Sentosa

I went to Wavehouse Sentosa a few weeks ago to try the flowrider. It is a clever surf simulation machine. The fee was SGD35 for an hour on weekdays and SGD40 an hour weekends. While waiting you can check out the billabong shop, have a drink at the bar or order some food. I had grilled mushrooms for a snack and it was good. 

As for stand up flow riding, i got it on the third try because the trainers will teach you until you get "the flow".I had some skateboarding experience so that helped a lot. If you're a complete beginner, try the bodyboard first to get used to the speed.

Flow riding is great fun, and is a serious workout too. I recommend doing a lot of stretching and limbering up before riding as it can give you a massive sore on the neck and back if you don't

Overall i recommend this experience so make your way to wavehouse Sentosa
