Gunung Panti

By
I signed up for a hiking trip with a group of like-minded kakis to Gunung Panti. Gunung Panti is located in Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru.
It was drizzling when we were on our way to Johor. Thankfully, the rain stopped and the weather was cool when we started our trek at 10.30am. It was an easy trek till we were faced with this vertical wall that stands between us and the summit.    

Spotted a pretty mushroom along the way.



It definitely looks daunting for those whose hiking experiences are restricted to only Bukit Timah nature reserve.  There are ropes which you could hold on to help you with the climb. 
We had our light lunch, and enjoyed the view at the summit. Many of us also started to compare the number of leeches which got into our shoes.  I found two on my right ankle happily sucking my blood! 

Our reward after this arduous climb was to have a durian feast at Kota Tinggi fruit farm. It was a real let-down though, the durians were awful! We journeyed on to Taman Sentosa for our sumptuous dinner. We had crayfish, sotong, stingray and vegetables which make-up for the let-down we had at the fruit farm.
I look forward for my next hike to Gunung Datuk, Malacca. What excites me is catching the sunrise and good food!

Baby Belling

By mrKian
Been baking for 10 years and decided to invest on a reputable oven. Read many review on this oven call Baby Belling, well known for its quality, durable and maintain even heat temperature during baking. But this oven is not commonly found in Singapore, I have looking around, called the distributor and it's coming to Singapore. Quickly go around looking for it and saw it in a electronic store. This oven has those old fashion look and is really solid, the door is pretty thick and closed really tight. You can find more details of the oven here. http://www.belling.co.uk/baby-belling Wasting no more time, I quickly place an order for it and have to wait 2 days for it to arrive. Finally today, I got my new oven!!!! My Baby.. came wrapped up nicely... After unwrapping it. It has also 2 hobs on top of the oven, cool.... Peeling off the protective sticker on the stainless steel door   The inner potion of the oven. Can;t wait to bake u

Singapore Kin Kin Ban Mian

By mrKian
Have tried this in Malaysia and this is now always available in Singapore. I have posted in one of my post and the noodle was fantastic. When this shop was open in Singapore, there are long queues everyday. Therefore I have waited for the queue to cool down before trying this. I went there on a weekday and there is totally no queue. This shop is located in Macpherson road. Well, it might be a central location but have to walk around 5 mins from MRT station. Menu are available on the wall and you can place order by writing on the form they have provided on the table. I ordered the signature ban mian, can't wait to add in their dry chilli. Ordered their signature fish-ball soup too as according to my friend, this is nice. Serving was fast and in the noodle and fish ball soup are brought in front of us. For me, the noodle is not as nice compare to the one that I had in KL. The noodle is quite hard, it feel as the noodle is not totally cook. This is not ca

Ubin First Stop Restaurant

By
It was my mum’s birthday and we had an impromptu dinner at Ubin First Stop Restaurant.   Located in Changi Village, it’s a place whereby me and my family go quite often as its pretty laid back and quiet. Such places are hard to find now a days. It isn’t our first time there and it was the pleasant experiences which led to me writing this review. Nothing special to the setting of the place but it makes you feel as if you have returned to kampong days. There’s aircon and non-aircon seating area. Depending on individual preference, we prefer the non-aircon area. The restaurant is pretty spacious, an ideal place for families with kids. Sambal Petai with Prawns The Sambal Petai with prawns is cooked together with ikan bills and onion. The ikan bills add the crunch and with the spiciness of the Sambal, it leaves us satisfied and craving for more. A good dish to go with rice. For those that do not know about Petai. It is also known as 臭豆 (smelly bean) in Chinese as it has this
