Tenji Japanese buffet BETTER THAN Jogoya!

Aha! I knew that would get your attention! Jogoya is probably the best place in Malaysia for a Japanese authentic buffet, but it cost RM 80+ so not a lot of people can afford it!

Well. Jogoya would have to fight for it’s customers now!

December 19th is the birth of a new competitor of Jogoya, it is TENJI Japanese Buffet!

Right now they are having a promotion of RM29.90++ for the lunch time BUFFET! But the catch is that you have to eat within an hour, but for me it won’t take me a long time to get my stomach full so it is an advantage that I bear and Sarah as well! But every subsequent hour, it is an additional RM10, which is still cheap! But for today, there was a Christmas promotion from the Original price of RM 77++ , or you can opt for RM49.90 for today and till the 15of Jan! No time Limit eat till u drop until 4 p.m!

Ah I tell you the food was just sensational! And so was the ambiance~! The layout of the restaurant was fantastic!

The 4 juices ( Pineapple, Kiwi, Pink Guava and Apple), and your selection of fresh fruits! (Apparently there was a choc fondue fountain according to my bro, which I totally missed!)

Spread of cooked Japanese food here.

Spread of the sashimi down the left row and close up on the right is the chef preparing the cold soba!

The spread of sushi!

Fresh young Coconuts!

As you can see the place is just simple! And the food is just there! Ready To Be Consumed! You can say it was like a mini Jogoya!

Tenji serves not just the Japanese Cuisines such as your sashimi, sushi, Cold Soba, Tempura, Teppanyaki, but also western cuisines such as the roast lamb, pastas, typical Campbell soup, Cod and so on.

Here is the roast pork! It was succulent as mum put it!

Here is the Seafood Puff Soup! Basically its puff pastry over a bowl of enhanced mushroom soup. Very good that you don’t taste a hint of Campbell written all over it! Or was it HOME Made!

Garden Salad… didn’t touch it cause it was typical and everywhere has salad and their dressings so yea..

Oysters! They were pretty big! Compare it with a spoon!

The way that they cut the sashimi was so good! I like mine thickly sliced and it was just so nice!

Here are some of the selection of teppanyaki and tempura. Silly me i forgot to take a picture of the adjacent part of this bar. -.- There are more on the left side of tempura and fried stuff selection!

And here is the dessert bar! I tell you… You have a selection of Mochi (I think 6 flavours), choc mousse, Tiramisu, Choc cookies, cakes and more which I haven’t tried, cause I already ate too much before the dessert! I just ate my mochi! The Black Sesame Mochi was just Orgasmic and to Die FOR!

And there is another surprise to place the Icing of the buffet…

They have HAAGEN-DAZs Ice-Cream! (Reminder the buffet is only Rm 49.50++ or Rm29.90++) They had 8 flavours to tickle your taste buds! And they had 2 of my favourite! Rum Raisins and Macadamia Nut! I was like! NO WAY!! HAHAH!!

When I saw this sign I just started to drool…

My dad’s advice is, when you arrive at the restaurant you should eat the ice-cream first. haha… Yea. I know where he is comin from! Rm 8++ for a scoop of Haagen-Daz Ice-cream at Pavilion while you can get all you want in Tenji!!!

Sorry for lack of pictures, cause my cam ran out of batt. smart huh.. after comin back from Malaka I forgot to charge… So I had to rush on the ambiance pictures…

Here are a LITTLE of what I ate at Tenji today.

The grilled salmon was pretty nice! the Soft Shell Crab on the left of the Salmon steak was decent but nothing to shout about. Even the one at Sushi Zenmai is better!

These are the ones that you can grab off the serving platter, but there are also those that you have to specially order!

Ok there are these clips on your table rite, which are clips to identify your table with. For the special orders (included in the buffet OF COURSE..), where they cook it for you and it is sent to your table. All you have to do is to place your clip on to the bowl in front of the sample dish at the western selection buffet spread where the chef will cook it straight away and it will arrive at your table with the dish that you ordered and your clip, which you have given to them to identify the table that placed the order. Those who ate at Jogoya will know what I mean.

I can’t remember the names of the following dishes but well in order, they are Cod, Spegetti served with Grilled Chicken and a slice of Emmantal cheese and Salmon Steak fillet. All were superb! There were other selections of pastas and also other steak like stuff but didn’t want to try all cause I was already pretty full!

Well it’s a pitty that I took little pictures. But I will be there soon! It was pretty random cause my parents were like lets go for a buffet at Tenji. I was like straight away shot out of bed and got dressed and left the house in 10 mins!

Don’t ask about the hair ok.. just woke up, but I don’t care 😀 I enjoyed my buffet today!

Happy Birthday John New Ming Chiang!

Since tomorrow is Christmas, and my bro’s Birthday is on Boxing Day, i.e 26th Dec, we will be busy with a host of parties during the 12 days of Christmas, so we decided that that it was John’s early Birthday Celebration! Happy Birthday Bro!

So overall I will say that the buffet was excellent but the thing is that their serving portions can be smaller cause I was so full! hehe…

Other than that if your looking for excellent quality Japanese cuisine then try TenJi Japanese Buffet as the quality of food is same as Jogoya, plus TenJi has HAAGEN DAZ!!!!

And the buffet is only….
for now till 15th Dec! If not the original price will be Rm 77++ for lunch and Rm 88++ during dinner!

Will definately visit there again before the promo ends!

Day Trip to Melaka: Part 1!

**btw. for this post zoom in on the picture for upclose and original size, as this is a long post haha.

The last time I went to Melaka was on a vacation… When I was barely 5 years old. -.- So not much fond memories about that place so I was pretty excited about the trip. It will technically be the first time I visit Melaka!

The first thing that I noticed when we parked our car when we arrived in Melaka was that they were still using the old method of paying for the public parking! There were no coin machines but this…This my friends is the oldie version of the parking meter where you scrap off the dates and times in which you are using then parking for. Hmm… Quite the Old fashion eh?

After scratching off the relevent stuff on the card like as if I am scratching some lottery game or something, we went for lunch!
It was simple, humble and decent food. Food outside of KL, or can I say PJ, seems to be well obviously cheaper a lil-bit, but in terms of quality. Actually I prefer PJ food haha. some stuff tasted really weird. Like the dipping sauce u see at the bottom left of the picture. It was for the rice, as so I was told by the aunty who served us the food.. It was ok la the food.

After the lunch. We, as in my family, went to Tan Kim Hock Store, I am not sure if it was the original store though, which is Malaysia’s proud home grown brand which sells special and tasty condiments and sweets for a long time!

As you can see, the store is filled with towers of the old fashion stuff. (Btw that is my bro on the left.) 

 

As you can see from the pictures above they sell quite a few well reknowned condiments such as the durian paste, the peanut cookie things, Dodol, and Kit-Kat, which I found it really random, that all of a sudden I see an international product in a Chinese sweets store. Hmm…

We didn’t buy much in the end though cause the shop was targeted at tourist, hence the high price, even back in PJ some of the condiments are much cheaper!

After that, we got back into our car and drove over to the famous Cendol store that the locals were talking about over there!

The shop was located in a corner lot. Entrance was small but when I entered I saw that it could fit roughly around not mre than 25 people. Hmm its like those hidden secret places where good food can be found. Maybe the locals did not want all the tourist to know, or else no more cendol!

The cendol had sago, coconut milk, red beans, the green things that makes it a chendol and it is served over shaved ice and gula melaka.

My dad and mum, eating the rojak.

They also serve other food as well, like the rojak and the curry noodles. The cendol was pretty nice and refreshing as normally a cendol back in PJ did not consist gula Melaka and also sago, so it was an interesting change and I must say it was really good! On the other hand the rojak was pretty dissapointing, it was really bland and no taste. I didn’t try the curry mee cause I have already pretty much full after lunch and just came to ate my cendol as the dessert.

Stay tuned for the next post of Day Trip to Melaka: Part 2, where my family and I explore the famous Christ Church Malaka and the museum!

I’m finally letting it out after 2 years of frustration….

I have to say you have to know when to cross the line, in everything that you do.

For a musician. I notice that there are 2 types of musicians. One who is so theoretically based over feel of the music, and one who feels the music over theories.

I’m the second type. Feel the music. When it comes to music expressions I do that. I look at the lyrics, decipher the meaning and play according to that feel and the emotion which runs through me and my own interpretation of the songs.

I do understand that theories are also important yes, but there is a flaw, a huge one for the fact. One can be so great and theories of music is great, but when you do not have feel, you can’t grasp the meaning and emotions that drives through.

I have had enough of people telling what to do, cause I know I am correct in the way I play the music. My brother and another friend of mine had said that when I do not feel the music, I sound quiet, and on my part lose confidence in playing especially in the worship team, I can’t worship. Whenever I feel the song, according to my brother, he notice that I strum the guitar like normal using my arms as well, and he can see that I am feeling the song and ultimately grooving and worshiping.

I have this one person, who doesn’t know what he is talking about and he gets things wrong. Since the first day that I have been on the worship team, I have been criticized by him. I know that some are correct that I am wrong in my playing or so, but now that I have gotten better at the guitar, and I’m now at the best of my life in playing the guitar, I know when I am right and when I am wrong. This guy just talks crap.. ok? I just want to put it direct as I don’t want to talk around the bush.

I do not just voice this out on my own accord and opinion but also others who I do not want to mension the names who have felt the same way, who really can’t “tahan”(can’t take it anymore). I have even tested him on occasions and so have another friend of mine, both are on the worship team and others also who have felt the difficulty working with this person, and has proven so that he doesn’t know what he is talking about. I guess its his ego and he is too smart for himself. That is his downfall.

I really can’t take it anymore. How on earth am I suppose to excel in my music abilities? If I am wrong all the time, then might as well I do not play the guitar anymore.

Do you know that it really hurts my morale, confidence in playing the guitar? Imagine you got the feel and you know it is 110% right and to be bombarded and say that it is wrong? He keeps saying that he follows the drum beat. Hello? I do as well ok? If Not HOW DO I GET THE GROOVE AND FEEL OF THE MUSIC!

Jon Koo even knows that when I’m not confident that my playing becomes “shy” and not what I would normally play.

Sometimes I feel that I want to put in a request to not put me in the same worship team as that fella or even to leave the worship team.

Somebody help me…

Busy few days…

Hey all.

Sorry for the delay in post. I have been busy with a lot of stuff since Thursday was the last day of my exams.

After the exams on Thursday, the class and I went to watch an assignment related video work from my former class mates from Mass Comm and other seniors and I must say it was pretty impressive will probably choose that subject for my elective in my final semester.

At night we went for steamboat with my lecturers, Ms. Jo and Ms. Jenny. It was fun I must say not just to eat the food but, together as a class (Chloe and Kent were MIA) and with our beloved lecturers.

On Friday was my cell party that I was hosting along side with Sue Ling and my cell members. The cells have been working hard for the few weeks in the preparations for the food, the program structure and the invitations. Great Job guys!

Then yesterday, Was the YA Christmas Service. Worship could have been better, the crowd was not feeling it though… Food for thought? But I must say, that I enjoyed the food after the service. Its ‘Bread Crusted Chicken Chop in Black Pepper Sauce’, well that’s what I called it.

Well I’m now just relaxing waiting for the Arsenal vs. Liverpool game. That is a massive game!

Go Liverpool!

Tomorrow is D-Day

Depends on when you read this post. when I mean tomorrow is D-Day I mean Thursday is the day. but if you are reading it on Thursday, so it will be today is D-day. but since I am writing this post on Weds night, then tomorrow is D-Day.. ok…

Tomorrow is the last exam of the semester. Gone through reading all the notes, all the tutorial questions and now I m just taking a break from my 3rd read through of my notes.

Hey. 3 read throughs are enough for me ok… I know I’ve got friends smarter than me and read through like 10 more times. but hey! I guess I found a method of study that works.

My study method:

1. Enjoy your short breaks in between your revision as to the fullest as possible. ‘
2. take long breaks if you have to
3. Read and Understand every word. Not every sentence. As what TMC would say.
4. Repeat through every theories, processes and notes until you are sick and tired of looking at your notes.
5. Do last min study. It works for mE! 😀
6. Drink lots of coffee the night before exam. If I am really going for the midnight oil burning. Might as well go all the way rite?

yea.. Thats about it. I guess..

I found out that I am one of those people who enjoys doing last minute study and assignments because I like the adrenaline to force me to be productive, like I’m on extacy but I’m lovin it every bit. AND I hate to do a little bit at a time. U know do bit day by day. Lucky for those who can do it. But I can’t. Don’t know why. But. Thats the way I am. Got a prob talk to me.

I am still getting my grades when I do, do last min. Thats my style, my way.

But I’m not last min with God.

Anyways. back to book worming. OH and to refill my dose of coffee

asd
