Layover at Plaza Premium Lounge Gateway@KLIA2

Posted on July 22, 2019July 23, 2019 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Layover at Plaza Premium Lounge Gateway@KLIA2

After we had our kaiten sushi at the Kansai International Airport, we boarded out flight back to Kuala Lumpur. Since we arrived at almost midnight, we decided to stay a night to get a good rest and freshen up before our next leg of flight back to Kuching in 12 hours.

We took the 12-hour package(room+meal) of Plaza Premium Lounge Gateway@KLIA2. It wasn’t cheap though. It was about RM220(it’s early booking saver rate from Agoda some more) for a room and meal for 2 pax. However, after flying in a packed flight for so many hours and need to wait 12 hours for the next flight home, that’s the best we can get. At least we had our meals(supper+breakfast) sorted and enjoyed our privacy rather than staying in the capsule hotel at the airport.


Our room came with a double decker bed. I dislike the bed especially when you need to climb up. The stairs isn’t user friendly at all. It’s quite dangerous for short people and with bad balance like me. It’s designed in such a way that the angle is 90 degree and there’s no handrail to hold. The only support you can get is pulling yourself up to the bed with the bar at side of the bed(which is quite far away) and the mattress cover. I almost fell when I got down from the bed because of the angle with no handrail to support, and the last step were blocked by the mattress which made it impossible to properly position your feet.

There isn’t window so it’s pitch dark if you switch off all the lights. There’s light at the wall next to each bed if you need to use it. The room is not soundproof though. The toilet and the bathroom are separated and spacious enough. All amenities are provided. The air-conditioning unit is centralized.

The food served was quite basic but better than nothing especially when you arrive at almost midnight, you are dead hungry.

Overall, it was an OK stay albeit the bad design of the bed. Whether I will stay here again? Maybe… If I really need to stay overnight at KLIA2. At least it’s convenient and with en-suite. There’s another airport hotel on the same floor which is similar, rate is similar too, I might try this instead depending on the rate. Capsule hotel is definitely a no-go for me.

Kedai Kopi Kim Hing

Posted on November 26, 2015November 26, 2015 By sweet surrender No Comments on Kedai Kopi Kim Hing

Kedai Kopi Kim Hing is located in Semenyih next to a primary school, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina Sin Ming.


A row of old shops which housed a number of coffee shops serving different food. Always filled with people. This is the place for breakfast in Semenyih. The locals sure love this place. Food is good and cheap.


Left: Milo, very thick. This is the kind of Milo you should get in old school coffee shops in Malaysia.

Right: The signature dish of this coffee shop, steamed and toast bread with butter and their homemade kaya. OH! Heaven! Having pipping hot soft and fluffy bread with mixture of melted butter and kaya is sure a good way to start your morning. This is what you called Malaysian breakfast.


Left: The curry noodle from the other shop, just next door, not bad as well. It’s not as spicy as it looked. Many people ordered it too.

Right: Another breakfast item that Malaysians love! Soft boil eggs! This is from Kedai Kopi Kim Hing. I think they have their own concoction of soy sauce and pepper powder as they don’t taste like normal soy sauce or pepper powder. More on the sweeter side. Despite the unique taste, they are still good. However, I still prefer the usual soy sauce and pepper powder.

If you’re around, do pay them a visit, better go early as I’m sure they sold out fast.

Restoran Xin Shi Jie

Posted on November 18, 2015November 18, 2015 By sweet surrender No Comments on Restoran Xin Shi Jie

After we got back from the mountainous drive, it’s time for dinner. Had dinner at Restoran Xin Shi Jie (No. 21-G, Jalan Semenyih Sentral 4, Semenyih Sentral, Selangor Darul Ehsan, 43500 Semenyih).

Was quite exhausted already, not really in the mood to eat so just simply ordered some food which according to my bro, these are their signature dishes. Have not much details of the food. Just to share where you can find good food in Semenyih.


Mixed bean, crunchy and fresh. A little on the spicy side.


Left: Salted egg yolk deep fried calamari. This is highly recommended. I like it.

Right: Xin Shi Jie’s signature taufu. It tasted as it should.

Overall, the food is good and affordable. Just one thing though, don’t sit near to the cashier area if you can’t stand cigarette smoke. The lady owner is one hell of a chain smoker, goodness… First time I see this kind of smoker.

Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms

Posted on September 23, 2015September 30, 2015 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms

I have no idea there’s a strawberry farm in Genting Highlands until last week. Went there for a visit. Not big, not too small. Not only strawberry but flowers and vegetables. Cannot compare with Cameron Highlands of course.

Source from gentinghighlands.info

The Genting Highlands Strawberry Leisure Farm is a popular tourist attraction in Gohtong Jaya, nestled directly at town opposite the Mawar and Bunga Raya Apartments. The farm can easily be reached by taking left from the roundabout past Hotel Seri Malaysia (if coming from Karak Highway), and following the road all the way to its end. Strawberries are not the only cultivations – mushrooms, herbs, flowers and hydroponic vegetables are also grown here commercialy in adjoining nurseries. Besides the farm’s marketplace, visitors can also purchase strawberries by plucking them directly and paying by weight from 100gm onwards – this is a very popular family activity.


Once we got in, we could smell strawberries!

In fact, my first time seeing strawberry plant, I’ve never been to one in OZ last time 😛 Wanted to go but ended up didn’t find the place.

Address: No. 1, Lot 3707, Jalan Jati 2, Bandar Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands, 69000 Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia

Bought a box of strawberry there for RM15, I heard Cameron’s is cheaper and tastes better. The one we bought at the farm was tasteless…

Tried the strawberry milkshake (RM11.55), I like! Very refreshing.


Walked further in, we found Lavender farm.


Previously in Adelaide, I didn’t get to visit Lavender farm because that time was summer and that area was closed due to fire hazard. Never thought that I would visit one. Well… Cannot compare of course but at least this is my first time come so close to so many lavenders. During the previous Perth trip, I only went to the shop selling lavender products, only a few lavender plants there.





Aside from strawberry and lavender, other flowers were there too such as rose, morning glory and those that I have no idea of the names. There’s also shops selling souvenirs and tid bits along the way before heading out.


Not to forget the mushroom farm.

Oh! Entrance is RM8 per adult.

That’s all for now. Hope the haze will go away soon! It’s making people sick…

Restoran Satay Malaysia (Nyuk Lan)

Posted on February 23, 2014February 24, 2014 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Restoran Satay Malaysia (Nyuk Lan)

Ahem… It’s been awhile. This post was supposed to be posted last year, about 3-4 months ago but never get to post about it. Since I’m running out of things to blog, I have to dig this out. The price might have increased already. Was there way back in September 2013.

Restaurant Satay Malaysia also known as Nyuk Lan (31, Jalan Semenyih, 43000 Kajang, Selangor) is where you can find one of the best Kajang Satay in Kajang.


Left: Having satay, peanut sauce and ketupat (RM0.80 each) are must-have. The taste was good but a bit too fine, I prefer peanut sauce with some crunch in it.

Right: We ordered all 5 of the available meat namely chicken(RM0.80), duck(RM1.40), mutton(RM1.40), fish(RM1.40), and beef(RM0.90). First time I had duck and fish satay. The satay was big, more than double the size of what we get in Kuching, and meat was very tender. Sadly, you can’t find this big stick of satay in Kuching, it’s getting smaller and smaller and price has been increasing, pathetic. When I saw the satay we ordered in Restaurant Satay Malaysia, my first thought was it’s the biggest satay I’ve seen in my entire life! Where on earth can I find this big stick of satay in Kuching? Frankly, satay in Kuching mostly are quite dry and tough too even from those supposedly highly recommended satay stall/place in Kuching.

The price of Kajang Satay is higher than what we have in Kuching for sure but the quality is more important for me. If it’s good, I don’t mind paying more. However, based on the size, it’s still considered very reasonable.

Aside from satay, there’s a stall selling otak-otak. Lots of people buying it too. I don’t remember how much though. However, it’s not that expensive.

I think this is my second time eating otak-otak. Compare to the one I had before, this one was pretty decent.

I heard the place is always packed! Not easy to get a place to sit, you’ll have to wait for a bit.

Anywhere else in Kajang that you can recommend for good satay? Would love to try it out when I have the chance to go there again.
