it was a tiring day after the golf event, all of us rushed to cross over the Penang Bridge to avoid the jam and zoomed down to Perak with a heavy downpour steamed prawns with julienne ginger and chinese white wine
Kampar is a ghost town, we'll never drive there for makan. Prince C was the one who suggested this place.

caramelised roast pork fried bitter gourd with eggs and salted egg yolk!!! highlight of the nite was this fresh soft steamed toufu almost tou-fu-fa liked we had 2 portion of this steamed fish was very good too.... gone in under 5 minutes after dinner we walked to the opposite side for desserts!!! yeah behind these green old wooden door is a small medium industry churning cakes and sweets so afraid that it will fall apart if i touch em

J&J James and Jelina hosted this dinner at the famous Akashi we walked fr Marriott to Orchard Parade Hotel which took less than 5 minutes and entered into the wrong Jap restaurant went into Akanoya Robatayaki instead
somehow the friendly staff escorted us to Akashi which was just next door anyway both restaurants are under the same group. God of Eatearylooking surprised there I was even more surprised when I dun see his cameras, lenses, tripod, gadgets and tools around.
