Sipping Sky-High: Is Level33 Really Worth Its Hefty Price Tag?

Introduction:   Perched atop the towering skyscraper of Marina Bay Financial Centre, Level33 claims the prestigious title of the world’s highest urban microbrewery. But is it just the altitude that's breathtaking, or does the experience truly soar to new heights?  Join me as I unravel the layers of this elevated enclave, from its artisanal brews to its panoramic views. Ambiance and Setting:  Stepping into Level33, you're instantly greeted by a modern, sleek interior that complements the stunning architectural prowess of Singapore's skyline. The real magic, however, lies beyond the glass panels. The outdoor terrace offers a sweeping vista of Marina Bay Sands, the bustling harbor, and the city's shimmering lights—a perfect backdrop for an evening under the stars. The ambiance is undeniably uplifting, blending the buzz of the city with the intimacy of an upscale lounge. The Brewery and Beverages:  At the heart of Level33 is its brewery, where craftsmanship meets innovation

Savor the Best of Japanese Delights and Chinese Favorites at The Ryujin Dining

Let's explore the delightful fusion of Japanese and Chinese flavors at Ryujin Dining in Juru Sentral, Bukit Mertajam, Penang. This restaurant offers an intriguing blend of familiar Japanese delights and Chinese cuisine. Whether you are craving Japanese delights or Chinese favorites, Ryujin Dining is worth a visit. Well, last Wednesday after our usual Pokemon Go Legendary Dinner Raid, my parents, my wife and I had our dinner here. This was not our first visit, and my dad was saying that the Chinese food here taste great the last round we were here.  We ordered the edamame beans, soft shell crab fried rice, hot and sour seafood soup, scallop thick soup, stir-fry vegetable with prawns and nyonya sea bass from the monthly special menu. The scallop thick soup’s texture looks thick and inviting, having generous amount of tender scallop pieces that offers a delicate sweetness and succulent bite. The bowl is set on a saucer, both of white porcelain with an elegant design, hinting at a refi

BistrOne36 at Tyrwhitt Road: A Hub for Western Food and Drinks

Nestled in the vibrant district of Tyrwhitt Road, BistrOne36 has swiftly become a favorite spot for lovers of western cuisine and creative drinks. This new establishment, which has garnered an impressive 4.8-star rating on Google reviews, is the second outlet of the BistrOne36 family, following the successful opening of their first venue at Boon Keng. With an extensive menu boasting over 300 items, BistrOne36 offers an abundance of choices to satisfy every palate. A Culinary Adventure During my visit to BistrOne36, I had the opportunity to sample several dishes that showcased their culinary prowess. My meal began with a comforting Cappuccino priced at $5.90 and a rich Chocolate drink for $6.90. These beverages were the perfect way to ease into the dining experience, setting a warm and inviting tone. The star of the show, however, was the  Chicken Popcorn  ($9.90). This dish came highly recommended, and for good reason. Each bite-sized piece of chicken was perfectly crispy on the outs

Restoran New Twenty-Twenty [Jalan Pandan Indah]

It is not so easy to find good hawker food in Kuala Lumpur as compared to in Ipoh. Anyway, over the weekend, YenLeng and I went to this food court, known as "Restoran New Twenty-Twenty" in Jalan Pandan Indah and found it to be quite acceptable, especially since it's a rare chinese food that open for 24 hours. (FYI, there are quite a few of these food courts in the area so I'll probably frequent more of the others next time). Anyway, the first thing I noticed about the place was that it's not clean (quite similar to most of the chinese hawkers place) and the coffee ice here is horrible, just like most of the places in KL. I didn't even bother to take photo of the coffee and it's RM2.30 for a Ice Kopi, totally not worth it. Here's what I have though...."Ho Fun Ching Tong", or Kuey Teow soup with fish balls.  I don't think it's the best that I had since there are better ones in Ipoh but it's really quite good in comparison

Birthday Dinner at the S.Wine Wine and Dine at Publika, Kuala Lumpur

I have my birthday dinner at S.Wine Wine and Dine at Publika last few weeks and I must say, this place is definitely a must for pork lover. S.Wine mainstay is swine, and is highlighted basically on everything on the menu. Finding the place is not that difficult; although it is hidden inside Ben's Independent Grocer. We've ordered the pork satay to share out but I don't really like it except for the first one because of the fat pork meat. Having said that, I think most pork lover will find the pork satay special because of the pork satay was grilled to perfection and then served together with the homemade pineapple peanut sauce.

D' Cruises Snow Steak at the Cruises Steak House

It is very rare that franchise chain is available in Ipoh before the capital city, but it seems that the Cruises Steak House which I assume originally from Penang has had more than ten branches in the Northern region and there is already some plan to expand to the Central region to the Southern region. Nevertheless, the Cruises Steak House at the Aeon Klebang mall offer respectable steak and it's no wonder that the place seems to be full house during the dinner time, and a vast contrast compare to some of the other food outlet within the mall. The price of the food is reasonable; considering the environment and the quality of it. My parents especially my father likes the food that he ordered, on both occasion that we have been there.

Heng Heng Tom Yam Mee Restaurant

My colleagues told me that there is a tom yum restaurant in Bukit Mertajam which serves very spicy tom yum noodles and we have been talking about going there for supper for quite some time and last week finally, I got the chance to go there to taste this spicy tom yum noodles that they have been talking about. Heng Heng Tom Yam Mee Restaurant is located at Lebuh Nangka 1, Bukit Mertajam and it is about thirty minutes drive from where I work. We went there for late dinner after work last Wednesday. There was not many people around by the time we reach there, but more customers are coming to Heng Heng after 10, so I supposed they are coming for supper. We ordered 2 bowls of to yum noodle, one with egg and one without, and a bowl of tom yum porridge; and I'm surprise that kuey teow soup is served here as well. Like Joo Heng , we are supposed to select our sides such as fishball, crab meat balls or abalone slices just like how we do for fishball noodle in Ipoh. And also like Joo H
