 It was always relaxing and calm to have a cuppa during the night. 

And it is also a norms to see me around at cafes, especially at that few cafes in town.



Ampersand was introduced by a friend of mine who was older than us by many years and Bandaran Berjaya was a place where he grew up at. As for me, I only remembers the KFC outlet which located there. 

Ampersand was operated by young adult of engineer and designer. The interior design of the cafe maintained the vintage environment and blended with classic design.

While I was browsing through online for my latest shopping list, I've came across ProductNation, a site for all types of reviews and shopping recommendation.

Interestingly, reviews of latest iPhone X to best digital cameras and even recommendation of beauty products are available and I could easily check via single website only, instead of browsing here and there and with creative keywords too.


For one person like me, I rather spend my time in one website that inclusive of all kinds of consumer  favourites. Morever, ProductNation is a Malaysian website too! Boy, it does suits us more with all the comparison of similar products, best price and best online shop to go for.


Many of you know that I love to travel and also a foodie, camera always one of the best companion of mine for years and replaced my cameras every few years.

Always searching for a good camera each time and searching one site to another just for the good and within my budget recommendation.

Finally, I found Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 III that suits my needs  on 8 Best Digital Camera for All Ages and Skill Levels

A good camera makes a good memory when times goes by, beautiful photos as remembrances and sharing.

Stop bragging about what camera that I would like to have, there are also many other Tech Newsthat I love to read I think it's suits you too! Guess, lesser friends and readers will be asking me about which cameras is the best, which phone is the best etc.


Besides, reviews for tech savvy, other reviews such as recommendation of Make up remover for skin alert beauty babes are available too. We all want to have healthy skin right? :)

Have a great day and its' December!

KKCity : The Nyonya Taste at Grinders Cafe

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Happy New Year to You! You! and You! All of You!

We managed to visit Grinders Cafe on the first week of 2018. The week when we were just return from our Ipoh trip. Yeah~ Twice Ipoh Trip in a year!


- The Entrance to Grinders Cafe -

Grinders Cafe can be easily located at KK City, especially when we are driving along the main street of Kota Kinabalu from down town to Sembulan. The cafe is facing opposite to Segama, same block as Winner Hotel.


-By the window -

I always admire the seats by the window. It's like a quiet space, maybe reading or for a cuppa.





- Instant White Coffee -

In fact, Alvin, the cafe owner is a Peranakan (Baba Nyonya to be exact) from Malacca (Melaka). Therefore, it's not unusual to see products from Malacca at the cafe.

Mentioning about Grinders' instant coffee they have, its all the way from Malacca we can taste the famous "Lao Qian 老钱" White Coffee here.

How did I know about the brand earlier? It's because I was make known during our trip at Ipoh. Brother told us that Lao Qian White Coffee taste good and recommended! Since we were there, we bought a few packets for home.


- Spaghetti Pomodora E Basilico accompanied with Asam-asam Manis -
 
Besides tomato sauce (red sauce), Grinders Cafe do serve Carbonara (White Sauce) as well.

Each dish served was special designed by the chef. Taste different from the usual we had, they added herbs and overall pasta taste fine.


- Meatball -

Beef/ Chicken meatball with home made mashed potatoes, black pepper sauce and berry sauce in actual.

Meatball was specially sourced from Sabah native.


- Batik Cake -

Home made Batik Cake. Specially prepared by Alvin, recipe from his mother. It was not extra soggy and not too sweet either. 

It's served daily with limited quantity. With pure coco powder (not mixed) is one of the main ingredient of Grinders In House Batik Cake.


- Toasted Bread with Home made Kaya -

For those who know how to make "Kaya", it is not an easy task. Special home made Kaya is also one of the recommended at Grinders.


- Nasi Lemak Special -

Blue rice Nasi lemak Special is a hot seller, they only serve limited quantity daily. The special Sambal sauce would be the one that we should have high expectation, especially Alvin told us that's the Baba Nyonya taste.


- Our late lunch -


- Homemade Gelato -


- Local favourites -


- Bird Nest Beverage -


- Borneo Bird Nest -

Grinders Cafe also offer local favourites to locals and tourists. The Bird Nest products price will be range from RM55.00 to RM480.00.

Alvin is one of the perfectionist that I came across while meeting cafe owners in person. He will not include any products that never try and tasted before.


- The walkway -

Grinders Cafe shall be one of the convenient cafe that tourists could simply walk in for a cup of coffee or a simple lunch. 

Price vice? Similar and reasonably priced. Coffee/ Beverages would be ranged from RM4.00, Tea RM8.00. Food is ranged from RM2.00 (Kaya Bun and Red Bean Bun), Nasi Lemak (RM5.00) to RM12.00 (Home made Mushroom Soup).

Sabah : Gaya Island

It's been a long time since the last we step our feet on the sandy beach of Bunga Raya. Say 5 years ago?

Depart from Jesselton Point, Kota Kinabalu, it takes more or less 20 minutes to reach Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa, which located on the largest Gaya Island of Sabah.






- My Channel -

Do subscribe me at my Youtube Channel at MEITZEU for more food and travel journey of what's interesting!

And do follow me at my other social media :
Instagram - @meitzeu  AND Facebook - meitzeupage


- Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa -

A familiar bridge while arrived at the island resort. Breezy and relaxing island away from crowded city.

Did I told you that, all of us are able to visit the island resort and even better to enjoy the facilities available as well. Sound interesting and fun right? Yea, I bet you would love to know more of it! Worth for every penny with such excellent hospitality.



- The Beach -

In Kota Kinabalu city itself, we could hardly see such quiet beach now a days, it is frequently crowded with tourists, especially during sunset.

I love to enjoy the breeze, but somehow not the sun. I'm not a good swimmer, how disappointing.


- Infinity Pool -

While having a swim in the pool, we are able to see the infinite sea level. I always admire infinity pool. someday I should visit Bali for that perfect view as well, and for sure with my love one privately. ;)


- The Main Restaurant -


- Wine Cellar -

Having an in house wine cellar would be such a favourable place to be at. A glass or two for the night as well. Bunga Raya Island Resort's Wine Cellar is one of the award winning wine cellar for continuous years.

We were impressed that the wine cellar itself kept more than thousand of wines with price that are more than thousand of Ringgit.


- The 60's Wine -


- The Saturdate -

Three of us hardly see each other at one time now a days, just way busy for life and work.


- The Pantai Restaurant & Bar -

Surprisingly, The Pantai Restaurant & Bar had totally upgraded to another level. It used to be a small outdoor restaurant with a few tables.

Now, it's a new building for leisure and delicious food, next to the sea. Blended in with turquoise colour, mirror of reflection that reflecting the nature from outside to inside the restaurant.

In the other hand, we also had a scrumptious meal with the island resort higher management personnel. I must say that I would really love to return to the island resort for day trip once in a while. Excellent dining experience, thus enjoying their facilities.


- Homemade Bread -


 - Entree -

Seared Hokkaido Scallop, Bell Pepper Coulis


 
- Refresher -

Sorbet

Cold and refreshing sorbet that loved by many of us. It's delicious.


- Main Course -

Pan Seared Organic Grouper Fillet, Crispy Lotus, Pak Choy, Cherry Tomatoes and Chablis Beurre Blanc Sauce

Fresh organic fish from farm which also known as their sister company. I must say that their fishes are always freshly served.


- Main Course -

Grass fed Tenderloin, Asparagus, Paris Mushroom, French Foie Gras and Red Wine Beef Jus

I believe that the skill of a good chef can be known by tasting their tenderloin prepared. Medium rare tenderloin was just nice for me, topped with French Foie Gras was perfect for me.


- Dialoque of Sweet -

Gold Dusted 
Spinach Opera Cake
Pandan Cream Brulee
Profiteroles Vanilla Ice Cream

There's always a space for desserts in a woman theory. Which one is my favourite? I may say Pandan Cream Brulee and Profiteroles Vanilla Ice Cream!


 

- Day Trip -

Are you excited to know about the day trip I have mentioned earlier?! 

With RM180.00 per person, we are able to dine in while experiencing all of the complimentary activities at the island resort, including Kayaking (1 hour), Snorkeling and etc. The full list would be as follow.


Worth for every penny doesn't it? :)

Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa are always open for the locals and tourists, with such an affordable price as stated, we are no longer felt that visiting to the island resort are expensive as it look!

Kota Kinabalu Eats

In fact, Sabah Chilli Pan Mee is not a new restaurant from the block. It was quite a successful restaurant that somehow maintained their quality and makes me return for their signature dish once in a while.

There's quite a number of negative comments when they just started their business, as for now, with lots of  improvements, they are running well and opened a new branch at Gaya Street too.


 - Signature Pan Mee -

Handmade Pan Mee, Minced Pork, Anchovies, Half boiled egg, special ingredients and homemade dried chilli to be added with our preference.

The image above was taken months ago, when I first visited their restaurant while they are still new. The egg was 80% boiled, which less with its runny egg yolk. However, it used to be that, but not recent. They have improved in many site.



- How to eat? -




Mix all the ingredient and that's their signature Pan Mee. ;)

I love true story that marked the value of life. Before we went for a free and easy trip in Bangkok, visiting The Grand Palace was one of my must visit list.



Our cab left us behind The Grand Palace and we walked slowly to the front gate while waited for the gate to open for public.

You can't imagine the crowd, from students to foreigners/ tourists, especially China people. I wonder do they admire the architecture like I do every where in the world. I do love architectural work that inspire me to explore the world in so many ways.

We need to wear decently to respect the tradition and buddha.








Ever wonder the how Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaew Morakot) looks?

Every architecture and arts that we saw during the visit, just pure craftsmanship. Amazing.

I never regret to make the decision to visit The Grand Palace. Highly recommended if you happen to visit Bangkok someday!

How to be a BLOGGER? 

How to be a VLOGGER?

Many were asking how to be one, and especially to be a good one.


It was happened on 4th April, 2018 that I was invited to be a speaker at Film Camp 2018 April Edition.

It was my first becoming a speaker for sharing about Lifestyle Blogger and Vlogger. I was nervous and getting calmer after speaking for a short while.

The respond from the floor was good, interesting sharing conversation with friends, bloggers and even Youtubers!

 

How to be a Blogger or a Vlogger?

To be either one, we need to have a platform, free or not free. 

A Blogger need a blog. A Vlogger (Video + Blog) need a Youtube account or did a short clip of any daily stories and upload it at any social media platform!

Anyone can start a blog, it's the passion that we are looking at and it's free language to write online! I started blogging since 2006. :)  

Blog and Vlog, as easy as it seen. ;) And I have both!

My blog would be here that you are reading now. MEITZEU.COM

and VLOG would be my Travel Channel at Youtube is MEITZEU

So and so, to be successful, we might need to work on the topics that we include in both.



Here are some of the photos taken by my friend, Charlotte Fong, My Insta Hubby and Film Camp crew.





"Blog with passion, not because of the income that we may generate from blogging/ vlogging."

I always told myself and social media friends that don't do it because of the cash you might receive. If the priority is the money received, our followers will leave us and not going through our journey in writing. :)

I am glad that blog has lead me to be knowledgeable in some sense. 

Always remind ourselves the first thoughts when we started. Why we started this.

To new bloggers, Happy writing and good luck to you!

The resort was officially started operating on the day before we were there, which made we were the first guests that visited the resort. From the exterior, interior architecture, their water system, the rooms decoration amazed us quite a lot.

Kota Kinabalu Eats : Non Halal

It was a fine weekend when both of us were tempted to try something new. Since we were nearby Penampang, might as well we go and try the Rice Wine Mee Sua which recommended by our friend.


- Kompia - 

It was my first time having Kompia. Genuinely homemade by Fu Chows whom from Sarawak. It does looks like baguette, but smaller and with softer texture (crunchy outside), spread with salted pork meat in it.

In fact, I prefer Kompia as it is not frequently seen in KK.

I heard that this kopitiam serving Kompia daily. :)


- Rice Wine Mee Sua -

I love rice wine and my mom can make good rice wine as well!

My comment after tasting the mee sua, I would prefer mee sua with thicker rice wine flavour. Which I knew that we can request for additional rice wine if it tasted not satisfying. Silly me that I didn't knew that. 

Hmm... I might think of visiting here again this weekend to have another bowl of mee sua. Hopefully this time would be better and satisfying!

Sabah Fest 2018 : "Solungkoi" (A Tale of Jambatan Tamparuli)

Sabah : The Land Below The Wind

It is May again and it's a month of Harvest Festival Celebration!

Sabah Fest organised by local Sabah Tourism Board and relevant parties caught a lot of attention yearly since the first event held many years ago. 

This year is related to "Jambatan Tamparuli", that's made me interested to attend the event. I was brought up with the song "Jambatan Tamparuli", my dad is a native and love to listen to music and karaoke, while my mom having an entertainment business during my childhood. Local songs were played while we were at my mom shop back then. In the other hand, I was the co-host for Foodie Blogger by NTV 7 and once of the scene was shot at Tamparuli too!






I love culture and I always do, maybe it's because I'm having the native bloods runs in me. Yes, I am Sino. :)

The above video is the Jambatan Tamparuli song played. If you would like to have the lyrics and the real music, do drop me and email at meitzeu@meitzeu.com! I will send you the link and lyric.

The following are some of the scenes that I have shared here and such I have experienced that night. 







What is "Solungkoi"? You may ask. 

It's a name of a young lady who were in love with a foreigner way back during those days when Sabah was under the British Colony. The performance and story line was okay, more to the love story of both. 

The story was based on true story from such I have being understood. The name was crafted by the foreigner under the bridge after "Solungkoi" was being sacrificed and can be seen today. As for the foreigner, no one knows where he went since his lover was sacrificed.

Interesting, yet beautiful performance by the local artist this year. Looking forward for next year Sabah Fest. :)

Sabah : Harvest Festival
Vlog : Available at the end of this post.

I bet our Harvest Festival would be a happening event in fact!

It's an annual event that Harvest Festival is one of the largest event of Sabah, it is celebrated by all the natives, the Sinos and I guess even their friends who are non- natives. Which who don't drink, right? ;)


It's been a while since the last visit to KDCA for it's happening event held annually. This year, we were wondering why the weather was so bad that it has been heavily rained and some of the core area was flooded after the heavy rain poured on the 31st May.

It was drizzling when I was there on the first day (30th) of the event, sometime in the afternoon since it was a public holiday. The weather was nice and cooling, we were able to have a walk there and I did took a short clip which you could scroll to the bottom of this post.

The highlights of Harvest Festival would be the Unduk Ngadau, definitely congratulation to al the winners. The 1st place - Inanam (Hosiani James Jaimis), 2nd place - Penampang (Sherrylyn Jane Rannytho) and 3rd place won by - Putatan (Vanessa Audrey Gilbert).


Creative snacks

Harvest Festival is the highlights, there's also snacks, beers and other interesting food and booth available at the venue. The main highlight of the food, would be the pork and lamb, varieties of dishes available for us to try!

Yes, people drinks there. And it is definitely a crowd behind every stall of finger food. And that's why it started to be known as the "Oktoberfest" in May. The Sabah style.




KDCA

It was crowded and definitely recommend to everyone to feel the Sabah spirit!
