攀岩乐 RoCkCliMbinG

WEBSITE: www.facebook.com/rockworldjb

Location: 7B Jalan Tanjung 1, Taman Desa Cemerlang, JB

不久前和同事一起找到JB也有室内攀岩,休假日一起去试一试。地点不难找,但招牌非常不显眼所以兜了两圈才找到这个由一群攀岩爱好者创立,利用一间店屋的二楼的有限空间,把攀岩活动推介给更多人一起玩。


这面墙是利用一楼与二楼之间的楼梯口旁的高墙建成,左边那面墙很适合初学者,第一次攀岩就可以尝试了。右边那面墙的顶部是向外倾斜,扶手也特别少,会造成平衡与地心吸力的压力,适合挑战。 




攀岩时有绳索系在身上,还有专人在一旁拉着,安全措施还算ok !




我的同事第一次挑战就成功了,真的很厉害。 我则是挑战到高处便跌下来了。




小弟弟一口气就可以攀上去了,平时有练过!




初次尝试是免费的,很适合任何年龄的人士参加,鼓励大家踊跃尝试!








Wednesday

Ma Maison

Garlic butter baked escargot. I personally do not like escargot in particular, but this one is exceptable!


Cream cheese baked pasta with seafood, scallops, shrimp, fish fillets, yummy!




Squid ink mushroom spaghetti, good try!



Superb marvelous home-made mix-berries fruit tarts. it's a must try, fresh berries, not too sweet, just right.



Location: Bugis Junction

It's a Japanese Restaurant, very cozy, cottage style, and warm ambience. A franchise from Japan, already has quite a number of outlets in Japan.



The menu.


Each table has a different table lamp.



A very friendly Japanese waitress


Too many choices to choose from!!!


Open concept kitchen, we can see the chefs cooking behind the glass






It's a coincidence that there was a couple happened to be having their pre-wed photo session in the restaurant.













A good place for tea, coffee and high tea chit-chats




So comfortable that you can read newspaper here!


One of the best seafood chowder I've ever had, not fishy taste at all yet rich and creamy


Fried crab meat sticks, come with mashed potato and cabbage salad, a big bowl of rice~


Seafood pan pizza, this is rather so-so in taste...






Grilled Dory fillet steak, very fresh Dory, not much of seasoning, the original sweetness of fresh Dory was generously presented.





Upon billing, we received a key like this, as if we were to check out from a hotel.


Only after that, we were told to bring the key to the counter to make payment, sweet =)




Generally, the taste is very good, reasonable price (average SGD20-25 per pax to get a tummy full). The ambience and interior is more than what its worth. Highly recommended.

Friday

Ministry of Food-My Izakaya Japanese Restaurant & Cafe (2)

Location: Bugis Junction, Singapore

It's been long time since I last visited this restaurant. It's high tea buffet hour and it's the first time I tried out the Japanese high tea buffet. Only SGD19.90++ per pax.

Macha red bean kakigori, there were other flavors available, unlimited servings, eat all u can!

Each person can choose only 1 set of fondue, either the sweet one or the salty one.
I personally prefered the salty one, as all other ala carte serve during high tea buffet are sweet!

Japanese Savoury fondue with home-made japanese curry

Mainly salty in taste, other sauces such as cheese, apple sauce and Daikon oroshi are available too.


Macha Imo. Fried yam balls with macha and red bean sundae

Red bean yam imo


Japanese Sweet Fondue with chocolate sauce.
Other choices of sauce are strawberry, red bean and black sesame.


Cheesy chicken karaage chicken
And UNLIMITED servings of handrolls!
This high tea buffet is worth to try if you are big eater and has a sweet tongue like us =)

Wednesday

New Year 2011 eve dinner @ Barista Cafe

Location: Bandar Putra Kulai, Johor. Opposite Kulai General Hospital

A cosy coffee counter





Earl grey tea

Grilled salmon fillet pasta, one of the new dish in menu, about RM25 if not mistaken.

Grilled chicken chop with BBQ sauce.
Considering the chef is using fine ingredients to make all the dishes, the price is rather reasonable, average RM15 to RM20 per main course. Taste was averagely good, but there wasn't anything special about this cafe that will make me feel like making second visit unless for a tea with friends, even though I'm living in the same area...
