Sushi Hiro

This sushi restaurant has been around for quite some time but I've never tried it even once. I usually patronized Ginza Sushi which is a few doors away, but it has now closed down.
While the mala hotpot and Korean BBQ eateries are 'blooming', sushi place is decreasing in the neighborhood.
[Below] The waiting area inside the restaurant.
I ordered a one-piece salmon sushi, 3 pieces salmon sashimi and a plate of ebi tempuras. There are 5 pieces of deep-fried prawn tempuras on the plate. All tastes good, coz there were prepared fresh.
The bill came to RM40.95 nett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chinese plain fried noodle with curry potato cubes, omelet and a Taiwanese sausage bought from the weekly pasar malam.
The noodles with potato cubes and omelet costs RM6, meanwhile the sausage is from another stall, costs RM2.20.
Decent meal, tastes good too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went back to 101 Heritage to try out the fish & chips.
It is seabass fish. Tender fish meat with crispy outer layer. The fries however are those McD kinda fries...
Free flow plain water is provided.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chicken with lapcheong and mushroom steamed rice in Hong Fu Lao dimsum restaurant. This item is only available during the weekday noon onwards. RM13.90++ or RM16.10 nett after service charge and tax.
Tender boneless chicken thigh meat with lotsa lapcheong and shiitake mushrooms.
My favorite order so far.
BON APPETIT!

The Mooring's Yacht Club, British Virgin Islands

On one of the Sundays, went for a walk at a yacht club.
The Mooring Yacht Club is located right opposite the hotel. I just need to cross the road and find the entrance.
I went in through the wrong gate that is for staffs. So, one of the staff guided me to the visitor area which is just a few steps away.
Quite huge area. There are Dock A and Dock B.
[Below] Ice box where you can get some ice to keep your catches fresh.
I noticed a signboard for Charlie's. I wonder who is Charlie....
According to cgpt:
In maritime and yachting terminology, 'Charlie' is the signal flag for the letter C in the International Code of Signals.
More signboards....This place has a bar/restaurant, a pool and a mini mart.
Not far from there was a Caribbean cruise ship that sails among the region. After spending a few days in port, it sailed away, and another cruise ship arrived and docked in its place.
Crystal clear water. I think the environmental fee (USD10) charged to every visitor/foreigner is used to clean their sea water.
[Above] This is the main entrance.
[Above] The mini market. Similar to our KK mart/ 99 Speedmart that sells basic food and necessities but slightly pricey than the normal supermarket. This mini mart comes handy for people who needs to stock up on food and other essentials at the last minute before setting sail for several days at sea.

Ehsania

Another newly opened eatery - this time a mamak shop
It was opened not long ago....perhaps beginning August...
I was so excited to try their food and ended up eating nasi kandar and roti kosong.
Roti kosong, served with curry gravy, dhal curry and sambal. Freshly prepared upon order. Hot and fluffy.
This is their nasi kandar counter. The menu is also displayed on these screens.
I had chicken kurma, deep fried bittergourd and cabbages. RM13.90 for this plate of rice.
They have burger stall and tandoori chicken stall located outside the shop too.
I should try them one day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went to Warakuya again....this time i had their 'Hungry Bento'....suitable for a hungry ghost like me.
The set comes with a chicken ramen and the side dishes - chicken kaarage, salmon sushi, gyoza and bacon with enoki mushroom skewers.
[Below] The newly renovated interior
This place seems to be popular and always have queue during the weekends.

Tried other items....

McD promotion RM2 for a piece of original Ayam Goreng with a purchase of McValue meal, valid from 20-23 August.
This is their new version of Ori fried chicken. Taste better and tender.
I ordered a 1-piece chicken meal (comes with drink, coleslaw & mashed potato) for RM9.90, then add on the RM2 ori fried chicken.
In total RM11.90 nett for this 2 piece fried chicken meal. Quite worth-it. Hope they will repeat this promo again.

Anyang Gamjatang

Tried the newly opened Anyang Gamjatang in the neighborhood Pinnacle Mall.
Gamjatang (감자탕) is a traditional Korean soup/stew made primarily with pork backbone (or pork neck bones), potatoes, and a rich, spicy broth.
They have brunch menu which offers promotion from 10am till 3pm.
I ordered their specialty which is bbyeo haejangguk (potato with pork bone stew in a single-serving soup version).
You can choose either rice or ramyeon for carbs, which is included.
The set also came with free drink (cold plain water) and 2 types of kimchis. 
The soup is served in a Korean ttukbaegi pot and is big enough for 2 pax, although I ordered only one-piece bone. There is a slice of potato in it and some veggies.
A box of hand gloves and wet wipes are provided on every table, so you don't have to dirty your hands while eating the pork bone.
Overall, a good meal although i find the soup slightly salty. Just drink a few sips is alright.
The bill came to RM24.20 nett after service charge.
I will be back again to try the sundubu jjigae.
