Here are a couple of short reviews on restaurants:
Yesterday nite, I was in The Gardens, Mid Valley with H. No no, no sex. Just some good food a a movie - Charlie Wilson's War. Ok, it is the wrong subject, but what the heck, this is my personal blog.
The cinema, which I have been to a couple of times, GSC at The Gardens is indeed a very lovely cinema. Only with Premier and Gold Class. Worth the extra money, no queues and yeah, I get to hug H. The seats are great. Lots of food too, which one can order and they will deliver it to the seats. Only complaint - GSC, please note, - the place is freezing. Good excuse to hug a gal! Then again, I don't need excuses for hugging H. Sadly, business isn't too good, still very empty. I don't think GSC is doing enough promotion. How about free upgrades for some customers at GSC Mid Valley? Just like airlines, travellers do get free upgrades.
The movie, well, rather meaningful. But censorship was heavy. No good. All in all, I would only rate it about 6 out of 10. It is based on real life, on how the USA supported Afghans and in the screwed up the end game. The supported the Afghans during the war against Russia. When Russia left, the Afghans were abandoned. Well, the results are clear - look at Afghanistan today. Terrorrist, narcotics and largely poor.
Back to food, dinner with H was at Gurney Drive, The Gardens. BTW, The Gardens is part of Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur. Gurney Drive offers various Penang 'street food' or hawker food. We had a 'mee suah' ( a noodle in hot soup, with chicken and chinese herbs), one 'fried kuay teow', and satay. Food wise, it was great! Smelt good, tasted good but being typical Malaysian food - not the most healthy. Price wise, I would say it is a bit expensive for hawker food, but the ambience is great. I would term it as a high class collection of hawker food. Will I return - definately. Out of 10, I would give it a 7.5. Worth a visit!

Was doing my filing and I saw a receipt from my trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah a few months ago. I was there with H, and we did put the bed to good use, to say the least. It's a good place to be on holidays. Back to my restaurant review, one of the best seafood has to be the restaurant on Manukan Island. Manukan Island is in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine park, a protected area. Great place for the sea, snorkling, etc. I would prefer to dine, as usual. Took H there mid day, by speed boat - which was a fun ride! The restaurant there served the best seafood and it was definately worth every cent. No rip off! We had prawns, satay, crabs, fish and squid. All for about RM 100 only, including drinks! Value for money, great food, outdoor dining by the sea! Out of 10, definately a score of 9. Good service too!
Manukan Island - the beach!
In KK, there are tonnes of over-rated, expensive, rip-off seafood restaurant. How to spot them? If they are in a nice place with a huge neon sign, well, that's the first sign (no pun intended). A good place to eat is at the Kedai Kopi Fatt Kee. It's on the ground floor, Number 28, Jalan Bakau, Jalan Pantai intersection, KK. It is a typical chinese restaurant. Lots of good food, fairly healthy (not a lot of oil). We had a fish - deep fried, sweet and sour prawns, one claypot tauhu and a vegetable. Food was delicious. Too much to eat (we had to rest a bit before we started our sexercise). The bill - oh, RM 48.83 - which works out to be 10 euros or about USD 15 - for two. No tips required. Rating - 7 out of 10. And yes, I will definately be back there when I am in KK!
This is sabah. A very nice place to be. Still natural. At night, fire flies are aplenty.
And here, a picture of sexy H. Hmmmm... don't I miss her. She's not on the menu!

Paddington House of Pancakes - I was there with H about 4 weeks ago. We were walking around, wondering what to have for brunch. Not the typical American style pancakes - where they load you with a stack of no less than 6 pancakes - and good grief, they taste good but I can never finish half of it! We had a Tenderloin, a Tuscany salad and H took a Ham and Cheese Crep. Food is fantastic. A wide variety on the menu. Serves are just nice - not too large, not too small. Don't want to over-eat! Very tasty. I would summarize it as a refreshing change. Something different. Something for every taste bud. Definately will return to try other offerings on the menu. Costs only about RM 100. Very reasonable. Rating - about 6.9 out of 10. All in all, one of the better places to dine (for Western food) at Mid Valley or The Gardens. I have to say - service was only reasonably good. I would rate service at no more than 5 out of 10.
