    Dinner At Jogoya Japanese Buffet, Starhill – Jogoya Japanese Buffet restaurant is as the name stated, a Japanese buffet centric restaurant based in the premium shopping mall, Starhill Gallery in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. Besides this outet at Starhill, there’s another one outlet in Taipei’s tallest building – Taipei 101.

    I have been wanting to go try out this place and finally I had a chance to visit and dine out at there. The price is RM88++ per person which is more likely an international buffet rather than a standalone Japanese food buffet. Japanese food is of course the main food that you can find in there, but there’s still other choice like Chinese food, Thai food and Western Food.

    First thing first was of course getting must stomach half filled with delicious Japanese sashimi and fresh raw oyster which I don’t really eat in normal days. They are my all-time favourite. After trying out the Japanese section with sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki, Japanese steamboat and other Japanese food, only then I move on to try some other Asian dishes like Chinese food, Thai food. And lastly, went back to a little bit of Japanese food.

    The only section that I didn’t try out was Western corner which I was not really interested in it.

    RM88++ is indeed worthwhile but somehow, I bet you couldn’t try all the dishes in there with over 200 dishes to choose from.

    Well, in taste wise, it may not be the super delicious, but somehow reach the standard of good-to-eat. Eating buffet is not really a comfortable thing to me because stomach get full and bloated after eat, shouting for how full it is after that. Somehow, it’s a good experience for me.

    It’s a PORK FREE restaurant means it’s a halal restaurant, however there’s alcohol like red and white wine. There’s some section which you drop a small clip with your table number for the food you want and they will cook it and send to your table.

    Besides, there’s various of desserts for you to choose from with many variety of pudding, cake, Haagen Dazs and New Zealand Natural Ice Cream, ice kacang and more.They do have promotion from time to time. Sometimes is buy-1-get-1-free for lunch section, now they have a promotion of 2nd customer get 50% off, but then it’s only available for lunch.

    Check out the website for more and now it’s time to enjoy the photos that I have taken after my meal. =D

    Fresh korean oyster. It’s really succulent and juicy which makes it feels good in the mouth as if it’s swimming in there. The icy cold oyster flush down my throat and gave a boom to me. Yum. I wonder why Korean’s oyster though? Why not other country’s oyster.

  • Walk Walk At Bukit Bintang With Hueisean

    Walk Walk At Bukit Bintang With Hueisean – Sorry if I have been posting many photos/posts about Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur downtown or the city because recently (more to come) I have been to downtown KL quite some times and I have taken many photos which I want to share with all of you. =)


    The glass wall outside the RapidKL KLCC Station ticketing counter.


    Hueisean’s first time at Uniqlo, which is also my favourite Japanese brand.

    It was a Saturday, and I went to town with my dearly Hueisean to walk, to shop, to see, to shoot and to eat. As usual, Kelana Jaya Line Rapid KL LRT was our transportation to town, and of course the wonderful pairs of leg that we all have got.

    She told me that Garrett’s popcorn is good! And have been eating many in Singapore and now it’s here in Malaysia, in KLCC. Gonna check it out when it’s open.

    I’ll take it as an exercise walk in town because I find it quite effective as I believe there’s more than 5KM I have walked on that day, perhaps more.


    Taking photos of Garrett’s Popcorn … store.


    Went to check out Tokyo Street in Pavilion, the new shopping zone in the mall.

    Everytime I go downtown to window shop, it’s always KLCC > Pavilion > Fahrenheit 88 > Sungei Wang > Lowyat Plaza only then go back home. Imagine how far and long I walk to and at this places. It’s tiring yet fun. Though that day only covers a little bit of KLCC, many bit of Pavilion, a little bit of Fahrenheitt 88 and more a bit of Sungei Wang.

     

    Hueisean seldom come to KL, so she doesn’t really familiar the way around and so I was her guide for her shopping day. =D It’s not saying that Penang doesn’t have good mall, it’s that the mall here has more choice and I hope that one day my hometown, Penang’s shopping mall can be on par with the one in Kuala Lumpur. =D Haha. I think Gurney Paragon shopping centre will be awesome.

    Went to check out the new shopping zone in Pavilion which is the Tokyo Street – featuring many Japanese oriented and based shops and restaurants. It’s a very cool and good idea, however there’s no Muji! How can Muji not in Malaysia yet, I am still waiting for Muji for their cool minimalist lifestyle products. Overall, this place is nice, you can get many Japanese snacks and food here.

    Walk walk walk, snap snap snap, see see see, I’ll let the photos of speaks.

    The Click Shop is a very nice camera shop that sells Lomography camera. I really amaze that a blogshop can make it into an outlet at the prestige shopping mall – Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. The interiors and decorations make it look premium too. Somehow, I am more into vintage camera than lomo camera now.


    Sunset at Bukit Bintang. You are not allow to step or stand or walk on the grass platform. Really lousy.


    Here comes the famous Bukit Bintang cross road.


    The giant LED cube by YES 4G. I prefer having the screen showing like news instead of re-run of YES 4G commercial on it. Though, it’s really very awesome.


    Only now I know that Sungei Wang’s toilet is free. Woohoo. I hate finding RM0.20/RM0.30 coins for toilet. Really ridiculous.

    After touring Sungei Wang Plaza, while walking home, we found something interesting at the Bukit Bintang cross road, in front of the giant LED screen above Maybank. Crowds were standing there, taking photos, smile, and having fun. We were curious and went to check it out.

    I see us on the big big screen. No wonder everyone was standing there to take a look, at themselves. We, too, looked at the screen. It’s actually a promo for the upcoming F&N Big Fun Fest on 24th September 2011 where the area will be turn into a dance party. People will be dancing, and will be shown live on the big big screen. It’s sort of like a flash mob and you can learn the dance on Facebook too and join the fun!

    Then, we went back home. Yeah! What a fun Saturday.

  • Random Walkaround At Bukit Bintang Area


    Best place in Kuala Lumpur.

    After residing here for a year in Klang Valley, I realised that life outside the city – the place I am staying and studying isn’t really fun when compare to the city. Klang Valley is just another normal metropolitan city, with the downtown Kuala Lumpur is fun.

    I wonder why there’s no beautiful and quality university campuses located right downtown. It would be really great if there is. Haha. Life, fun and study must blends well, with a well and healthy city life. Sunway area is pretty boring for me, all the building looks the same with no colour, it’s isn’t anywhere close to the city where beautifully designed skyscrapers are.


    New Apple shop is coming to town, hidden opposite of Low Yat Plaza.

    Even though the skyline of Kuala Lumpur is beautiful, when comparing to my hometown Penang, I still greatly like Penang more because of the colours, the people, and the old heritage city. That’s something Kuala Lumpur doesn’t have.


    I still prefer Chatime and Gong Cha despite many awesome bubble tea out there.

    Penang is colourful with the old colonial styles houses, blends with a little bit of modern shopping malls and buildings. With low skyline, you can see a colourful red tiles roof. Another thing that I fancy Penang is the close-nest to the sea, water, and greens. Kuala Lumpur is just a concrete jungle within a valley with no sea but a little but of greens. That’s the biggest dislike, the nearest sea needs about 45 minutes trip, a beautiful beach needs about 1.5 hours of drive. When in Penang, beach, sea and nature are so near.


    Happy Merdeka Day Malaysia!

    Anyway, home will be the best place to be after study.

  • Christmas Decoration at Bukit Bintang

    Christmas Decoration at Bukit Bintang

    Showing you some random photos taken at Bukit Bintang at night 2 weeks ago while on a walk with my parents. They came to Kuala Lumpur to visit me and fetch me back to Penang together. Yoyoyo, yes I am in Penang, for 2 weeks already. Rocks!

    Some sort of AIDS Aware event was going on that day.

    Lot 10 has became boring to me already. But you should check out the new walkway outside, kinda nice. =)

    Very crowded that day, probably because of school holiday. Walking was pretty difficult, they should make a better pedestrian walkway IMO.

    Nice Christmas decoration outside Pavilion. Not really have the mood for shopping because all the stuff look same to me and I have no buying list at that moment, and one thing is that the Malaysian Sale isn’t really a big deal. Just a small discount which available many times throughout the years. Hmm. They should have something like Black Friday sale in the US. Woo. Rocks.

    I love Malaysia. Haha. Very random I know, and good night for now. =D
