Whup Whup Salmon day

It has been a month since my friend told me about this Whup Whup restaurant & cafe which is located in the SS 13 Subang industrial area and they converted the yarn factory into this beautiful restaurant. 

This restaurant comes with a pleasant atmosphere and attentive service. 3 of us ordered meal with salmon, price is at high side, but it's worth it because the salmon is fresh and well cooked. Do give a try to the Mohawk salmon with pineapple salsa & mash, the pineapple salsa is very appetizing :) 

They are going renovation the place from 1-17th August. I will definitely visit again after the renovation is done!

Let's Joy Cafe @ Kuchai Lama

A cozy place to hang out with friends at Let's Joy cafe. They have many choices of dessert and food as well. (As you can see from the menu). I haven't tried their food yet, but I will definitely go back to Let's Joy cafe to try the western set and french toast. 

One thing I like about Let's Joy cafe dessert is the sweetness. It's not very sweet, just nice and you won't feel too heavy to finish a bowl. 

There are 2 section in their restaurant, one of the section you can actually reserve for a party. (Birthday party, baby fullmoon...etc)

Goon Wah XO Fish Head Noodle

I'm not a fish head noodle lover but heard someone introduce Goon Wah fish head noodle which is famous in Kuchai Lama area. 

If you ask me, I prefer the lou shu fun (noodle) where the owner puts the dried shrimp, minced meat, chili, spring onion on top of the lou shu fun and you need to mix the ingredient by stir frying it in the hot clay pot using the spoon given. I love the combination of the ingredients. It is only 1 size given, not very big portion, eventually for guys can finish it, but normally customer will share among 2-3 pax, as you will order some other dishes.  

This is the fish head noodle, the noodle is some kind of thicker rice noodle, they also put tomato and yam with the soup. For me, the soup is not so sour and milky, worth to try but I don't like the yam, so do my sister.  

This is good - The fried guiness stout chicken wings. It is very well marinated and you should call this as one of your side dishes. 

They only open from Monday to Saturday, morning 8am - 4pm only. Lunch hour may be quite occupied.

GO noodle house @ da:mén USJ

I always see people queuing in front of this restaurant, always crowded no matter during weekday or weekend. And I'm lucky today to get a table without waiting long. 

This restaurant - 有間麵館 GO Noodle House serves mainly mee in soup, as well as pan mee. (soup/dry). I find the mi xian (thick mee hoon) is a very nice match with the special soup. Normally I will drink the soup along and won't feel thirsty. However it is not cheap as the cheapest set is RM 9++ depends which side dish you choose. (Eg. Grouper fish fillet with mi xian is RM 16/bowl)

Nihonkai Japanese Restaurant

Nihonkai - One of my favorite choice of Japanese restaurant. I believe this is also one of the family friendly restaurant, as they have variety of choices (Set Lunch / Set Dinner), big portion and price is very reasonable. Ingredients are fresh too. 

For example, normally salmon set comes with 1 slice of salmon, rice, soup, appetizer and steamed egg will cost around RM 25, but here, you can get 2 slices of salmon with cheaper price. 

My first visit was years ago with my friends (birthday celebration) at Old Klang Road, you can book a room with them if there's many of you. It's better to make a call to make your booking if you are planning to go during weekend / public holiday / special occasion.

For their branch in Sunway Mentari, normally I will walk in for dinner without booking, but have to be early, eg 6pm...after 7pm will be hard due to limited seats.

Antipodean cafe @ Atria Shoppng Gallery

I had my brunch with my sister at the Antipodean cafe @ Atria Shopping Gallery after heard about my friend's comment. She went to Mid Valley Antipodean, however for me, looking for a parking space in Mid Valley during weekend is stressful for me ha! Atria is quite a good choice for food hunting.

The menu is actually written on a big blackboard wall. It's better if you choose the food first, you can get a waitress to attend to your order first before he/she direct you to your seat. If you want to get your seat first, no problem, you can still choose your meal if you are sitting near to the board, if not, then will be a bit difficult. There's another way is you can scan their QR code to get the menu and choose the meal from your mobile.

Look, the menu is far from our set. But we have already ordered before hand :)

Here's my sis's order - Croissant scrambled egg with bacon. The portion is big tho' but yummy! 

I'm a carbonara lover. With the mushroom in it, make it taste so good! However to have this as brunch, its super filling.   

During weekend it may be pack, so do expect to wait if needed :) 

Here's the menu :) There's a lot of variety of food. I will definitely come back again.

Malaysian Passport Renewal @ Immigration office Kelana Jaya

This is my first experience with the Kelana Jaya Immigration Office to renew mine and my parent's passport. We slept so early yesterday just for the purpose to wake up early this morning as we got to know from others that people will start queuing up from 6am ++ ! Not saying we are "kiasu" but we are trying to go home early so that we still can have some time to prepare our lunch at home. 

We managed to arrive at about 6.40 am and you can easily find a parking space inside the building. Parking rate is RM 2.20/hour. It's about 3mins walk from the indoor parking to the immigration office which is at the corner of the other end.

Here you go (photo), few early birds were queuing up, and more early birds came after and there was already 40+ people before the office is opened at 7.30am. 

Notice board message: There is no special lane for senior citizens/baby during weekends. 

At about 7.20 am, the security guard came out and hand over the form for us to fill up in advance. It is very efficient and time saving! And the guard did a wonderful job as well by arranging the people to go in to the office by batches. (About 10 people at one time). It's very organized. 

Once you are in, you will submit the form & show your MyKad at the reception to get your running number  :) As my parents both are senior citizens, they got a different running number, which starts from 2001 onwards. Mine was 1010. 

It's quite fast that my number was called after 25mins. The officer is very friendly and you just need to tender your old passport and MyKad for processing and verify your thumbprints as well. After that officer will request you to pose for a photo, which the camera is just on your left :) The process just took me few mins, everything done at 8.08am. 

After that, wait for your running number to be called again for payment processing at the counter 3 and a receipt (Resit Rasmi) as below will be given. The officer will advise you to come back for collection after 1 hour. You can see there's a batch number stamped in "RED" (102). 

Here's the fee: (Valid for 5 years) 

RM 200 - Adult 

RM 100 - Senior citizens (60 years old & above), children below 12 years old, and students below 21 years old with proof to study abroad. 

Counter 1 & 2 are allocated for passport collection. The respective officer will call (shout) the batch number (stamped in red on your receipt), eg: 101, 102...just wait for your batch to be called and the officer will collect your receipt and prepare the batch of the new passports for another colleague. Just wait for your name to be called. 

Once you have collected your passport, double check if all your particulars are correct. 

No more queue when we left at about 9.30 am. But inside the office was actually quite crowded, and some went to mamak for drinks/meal to spend their 1hour waiting time. There's a malay restaurant just beside the immigration office, where we had our drinks while waiting, cost us RM 6.70 for a teh tarik, cham, and kopi.

1) Old Passport
