Macam dah lama tak share pasal makanan.


Hari tu teringin nak rasa ayam goreng korea dengan cheese kfry yang viral tu. Tapi dah petang confirm habis lagipun tak berapa rajin nak jalan sampai putrajaya tu. Jadi pilih tempat yang dekat sikit, Nanda Chicken.


This is a pork free korean restaurant yang offer authentic korean dishes. Selalu lalu je tak pernah nak masuk. Kali ni sebab craving kita sampai jugak sini. Boleh tahan ramai orang kat sini time dinner.






And for the main star


We chose Cheese Half + Fire Cheese Half that cost RM62+. Dia agak banyak boleh la makan untuk 3 ke 4 orang.

Rasa dia makin lama makin pedas and untuk yang suka pedas ada juga pilihan extra pedas.



Overall it is actually a good choice for a cheesy chicken. Tapi if you are looking for a normal fried chicken, i would say it is just average.


Location
11, Jalan Solaris 2,
Solaris Mont Kiara,
Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

Everyday 11:00 - 00:00

I still prefer reading people experience on blog rather that other social media. I supposed to have a bloglist on the blog sidebar but somehow it got lost when I updated to a new template.

So here I am joining this cause she's making an updated bloglist!

Lepas ni guna bloglist siqah jelah untuk blogwalking heee.

Ahhh I just miss updating the blog. Dulu kasi alasan darling laptop condition and the lack of wifi turn me off each time ada rasa nak publish new entry. Now dah ada yang baru pun sama sebab the wifi still takde haha.

So now update cerita super lama jelah. Setahun lepas.



This is an impromptu trip. Orang dah ajak lepas tu kena pulak dengan masa and bajet kita, okay jom pergi. Kira ini adalah pertama kali lah saya pergi ke Cameron Highland.



Car ride dari rumah ke sana mengambil masa lebih kurang 3 jam (kot). Sampai around 1330 ke 1430 then terus la cari makan. Since tak boleh check in lagi, pergi jalan-jalan dulu lah. Mula-mula plan to singgah lavender farm sekali macam ramai orang so pergi tempat lain.






Singgah rose farm syok je layan bunga. Nak balik ke kereta yang dah terparking jauh tu sekali hujan pulak! Jenuh la lari-lari cari tempat teduh.




Pastu sempat la makan strawberry coklat masam masam manis ni.




Petang cuba nasib naik atas ni tapi tak sempat nak makan minum tea kat cafe, dah tutup.






Lepas maghrib singgah jap cari dinner kat pasar malam brinchang. Cameron malam-malam macam mati so relax-relax jelah dalam bilik.




Sebab dah lama sangat perap dalam draft, lain kali sambung cerita the next day.

Till then.

It is finally time for my Osaka trip story! Though it is a bit too late but I really need to document it here for my own future reference.

I spend days to weeks checking AirBnB app and website to find suitable place that suit our budget and have accessible location. I inquired few host, asking bunch of questions and finally found a home for us.

Unfortunately, I couldn't really find a good picture of the house so here just few I copied from the site.











There are 4 of us, and another 2 is coming a bit later. So I try dealing with Yuri, the host to get special price and fortunately she approved it.

What i love about this house?

1. A very responsive host. Yuri promptly reply my inquiry and explain it well so I love dealing with her. She also very attentive explaining all the rules and what we need to know when in town. Too bad I did not get to see her face to face. 
2. Location is great, only few stations away from Dotonburi and the house is easy to find. It is also only few minutes walking distance to the closest Subway and JR Train Station. You don't really need to drag your feet and suffer too long to reach home at the end of your long day.
3. Has a lot of rooms. There are 4 other rooms beside laundry room, dining room and living room. However there is only a shower room and a toilet so definitely need to take turns and managed time well if you are in a big group.
4. It has a complete home essential to cater your need. You can also cook just bring your own cooking ingredient.

Overall, my experience with this house is very pleasant and i'm highly recommended it to others.

Tips

• Always always check reviews of other tenants before booking. If the place is new or have no review, try chatting with the host to make sure that host is easy/comfortable to communicate with.
• Do check whether the house is equipped with all the necessary thing you need. Read the house descriptions carefully and don't hesitate to ask around. 
• You can save $27 in form of Airbnb credit when you sign up through this link HERE. It will automatic deducted from your total amount on the checkout page in the form of coupon. I used this and managed to save RM106.

Till then.

Miscellaneous
Pocket Wifi : RM27
Insurance : RM39


Total Cost : RM1641.5 + 14660¥ = RM2206(approx)

Since we are on a very tight budget, we cook everyday. Bahan mostly dari Malaysia ehem Brahim emmm so we save alot. We just bought street food here and there to try. Seorang spend around RM200 je kot on food.

TIPS

1. Dari train station ke satu-satu tempat mostly kena menapak around 5 ke 20 minit. Prepare a good walking shoes. Gunalah khidmat Google Map untuk cari jalan.
2. Google Translate untuk translate any benda yang tak paham. We don't interact much dengan local people there sebab tak sesat teruk tapi guna for check ingredient makanan.
3. Hyperdia app ada info lengkap untuk all the train schedule/infomation.
4. Kalau nak guna JR Pass beli siap-siap kat negara masing-masing. Kalau dah sampai Japan baru beli harga dah jadi lain. Beza dalam 2000¥ kalau tak silap.
5. Sagano Scenic Railway kat Kyoto tu kalau rasa nak naik pergi lah waktu winter salji putih / spring cherry blossom / autumn leaves falling. Kalau time lain, gunung ganang dia hijau je tak impressive untuk rakyat Malaysia yang dah selalu jumpa hutan hujan tropika. 
6. Kalau bawak bekal senang je nak makan kat mana-mana taman selalu ada je meja kerusi boleh relax. Tak perlu buat aksi viral duduk makan di jalan tar. Yang penting keep enviroment clean. 
7. Kalau nak beli USJ ticket kat agen guna 11street ke lazada ke pastikan pilih trusted seller lepas tu korek la promo code yang offer discount paling banyak. Guna cara ni boleh la jimat around RM10-30 per ticket.

Kalau nak details itinerary ke tips lain ke job baru ke any questions, takde hal email je.


Semoga kerajinan untuk update details experience tu kat sini sampai satu hari nanti.


Till then.
