Good Middle Eastern lunch at Al-Halabi Gourmet Restaurant @ JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur

Al-Halabi Gourmet Restaurant is part of Tarbush restaurant group. They serve quite extensive of middle eastern food in an awesome environment. The restaurant decoration is nice and they also selling a lot of middle east food items. Sitting inside is like you are in Turkish market. Service were good and if you are into shisha, they do have it as well. The seating were comfortable with sofas.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Ordered the sayadiyah fish dish and taste quite good. Whole pompret with fish pieces and rice in one dish. The rice cooked with fish broth adds the flavour to the dish. The appetizer of fattah hummus that we ordered is unexpected large with lots of chickpea and tahini mixed with yogurt, garlic and fried bread. Taste quite unique but good).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The food pricing here is reasonable considering its located inside a 5 star hotel. We ordered Sayadiyah fish for MYR45.00 and fattah hummus at MYR25.00. Portion is quite decent for two persons consumption).


Sayadiyah fish with salsa sauce and lemon. Suitable to order if you don't like lamb or chicken.

Nice restaurant ambience.

Lots of middle eastern food condiments.

Fine desserts from Foo Foo @ Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

This dessert shop really make it to be among the best in Kuala Lumpur. Good desserts, good service and good ambiance. They have some of the very creative dessert with weird combination such as balsamic vinegar ice cream, ginger custard pudding with watermelon and crispy profiteroles with salted caramel coffee ice cream. Do try them and explore their desserts and you wouldn't think of such ingredient will have good taste but turn out to be perfect. Here you will get Michelin star level kind of dessert.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. I satisfied with the apple strudel here. The presentation of the apple strudel is also great as it shaped like a small purse. The filling of home cooked apple taste awesome. And pairing with black pepper mango ice-cream is a perfect combination. I was a bit skeptical when ordering this dessert but it turn out to be among the best dessert I ever tasted. The ice cream texture is firm and full of flavor).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The dessert here priced from MYR25 and above. The apple strudel at MYR29 but it taste awesome. Even presentation wise is great. Depends what you choose they also have home ice cream scoop at MYR10).


Signature apple strudel with black pepper mango ice cream. Excellent dessert and very Instagram worthy kind of shot.

Nice tall table seating.

Why best flight experience on Singapore airlines economy class - Hong Kong to San Francisco

During my recent trip to USA, I have a chance this round to experience Singapore Airlines flight. All this while I don't have the chance to try it due to the flight price is always on high side. This time I able to get a good deal for around USD580 for return trip from Hong Kong to San Francisco. I always wonder why the airlines have the best ranking and well commented in the airlines industry. I will tell you why from the picture below. Most of the things are well thought off for best customer in-flight experience. Flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco takes around 13 hours.


Clean and nice interface. The screen quality is better than most airlines.

Additional seat pockets for passenger to keep their stuff. This good to keep my phones, water or maybe medicine. The cup handle also provided.

Although I just in economy class, but I get free ear phones with plane adapter. Good strategy especially if your passenger always bring to use the ear phones when they are flying no matter in which airlines.

High quality and like a PlayStation Vita type of console. Some airlines only provide this kind of console in business or first class.

Proper menu booklet for economy class.

Bent Prop Inn Hostel @ Midtown Anchorage, Alaska

As a solo traveller, I booked 1 bed dorm for 4 nights in Bent Prop Inn Hostel. As I check in the hostel, I am the only one to stay in 4 beds room suite since its entering low season in Anchorage. The room comes with kitchen and living room. Its great and value for money. The general manager were very friendly, helpful and he ensure that I have a comfortable stay. They provide airport free transfer to their customers. The advice given were very helpful especially on food recommendation around Anchorage. Nearby the hostel, there were Walmart and Outback Steak restaurant which is just 2 blocks away. Internet provided were good and important to me since phone coverage is limited in Alaska. I was fortunate to find a hostel which the owner himself fetch me to Anchorage Downtown on one of the day that I stay as I need to get to Downtown very early in the morning to catch my cruise tour. They are flexible and have the best customer service experience that I had so far. The location to Anchorage Downtown is within 10 minutes by car. You will need to take bus number 2 or 75 to reach this hostel but should not have problem since the bus service is reliable to Downtown Anchorage.

Rating:10/10(Highly recommended for solo, family or budget traveller. The location is still manageable with good bus transport system. The customer service here is top notch with the owner of the hostel making sure that you stay comfortable and airport transfer provided. The hostel is near proximity to the best superstore in America which is Walmart, Costco and Fred Meyer).
Price:The price of the 4 bed dorm is quite cheap for Anchorage standard where the things tend to be expensive here. The charges for one night start on dorm is at 25 US Dollars. Good for budget traveller who set Anchorage as a base to visit other places within Alaska).


Living room with sofa and television.

Full equiped kitchen.

Comfortable bed.

Toilet and bathroom.

Do stay here. Highly recommended stay when you visit Anchorage, Alaska.
