Jogoya Starhill

I never thought there would be any place as fascinating as Jogoya, it's practically like a heaven on earth. I'll get to why later on. Its on the 2nd highest floor of Starhill, which is opposite The Pavilion. This is a map I got from their website.This is what you will outside the restaurant.They even got counter somemore leh.This is the entrance to the restaurant.And as soon as you enter the restaurant you will see this.Wow.A wine rack after a flower display. High-class? I'm not sure where to start when describing the food, but they're food is steaming.Literally.As soon as you sit down, you will see the sushi stand.From fish to prawn to what-have-you, everything you can ever dream of on sushi is there. I didn't dare take too many pictures in case they thought I was stealing how they made sushi.
Another first time experience I had while there was to eat sting-ray.I know it kinda looks like fish, but its a damn lot nicer!!

Another part of the crustacean family you can find in there is this poor ''little'' guy:But you gotta be a VIP 1st though.You can also opt for clams, oysters and so on if you like seafood. Another special feature at Jogoya is their...SMOKING ROOM!! No it's not a place where they filter their smoke, it's where the customers can get away to smoke before going back to eat, complete with...glass pictures....a tv...and probably the most DIAO ashtray in all of KL. My friend accompanied me and I'm also not sure how he ended up in the picture as well.I mean, just look at the size of this thing. And its an ashtray? It's gotta be the biggest in the whole of KL as well. Try having one of these at home! Table 99. The biggest table in Jogoya. Good for dining and family reunions. Another interesting feature is their toilet.I mean, who hangs bee nests in their toilets?And not only inside, but outside as well?Ok, the flowers are still understandable, just to make the toilet smell fresher?This is how the Gent's look like, just imagine it without the guy standing there.They've even got a chocolate fountain in there. I forgot to take pictures of the marshmallows. But just look at the damn thing. It looks like plastic but its actually liquid chocolate! Imagine dipping a marshmallow into the chocolate and then biting into it...YUM!And if you feel heaty from eating too much ''hot'' food, you can try one of their coconuts in a bowl.Think of yourself being able to eat the food on the plate above, and its all damn delicious!!

Don't they mean use? (Found at the cocktail cooler)And now, enough bullshit,its time for the highlight of Jogoya:Their desserts.The cookies and biscuits. There are many choices available, among them Oatmeal...as well as chocolate chip.These 2 eerily resemble Famous Amos cookies as well, and don't taste half bad.Anyone else getting hungry by just looking at their cake and jelly display?I tried the mint.And the multicolored jelly to top it off. Both were good and as expected from a place like Jogoya.
Oh, by the way, did I mention that they have Haagen-Dazs and New Zealand Natural as part of their dessert buffet?You can also get waffles at the same counter. Besides that, you can also make your OWN chendol. They've got the ice machine, red beans, the green stringy stuff etc. You can add any amount of syrup or milk as you want as well.However, everything comes with a price, and in this case is around RM90 per head.And before you even think of smuggling food out of the restaurant, here's a little memo...

Bon appetit!

Tea House + Enjoy

It's been a really busy month this January, and I haven't been able to come up here that often, hasn't changed much around here though,has it? Anyway, we sent a friend off yesterday at Together Tea House, hope you have fun in Bintulu, Chris.
Yes, we played plane checkers. Want to have a try?

One of the more interesting things we ordered that day included this rather big cup? of fruit juice. I wonder how many times he went to the toilet after finishing it.Since it closes at about 10pm, we went hopped on to our next stop, Enjoy Cafe cum Restaurant.

There we ordered the Enjoy Combo, comprising of French Fries, hot dogs,tofu, cheese chicken and sotong(squid). There's salad in the middle as well, but not many people touched it.
At RM25, it would be rather expensive if you paid for it yourself, however, it might be cheaper if a whole group consisting of you and your friends went.

Muhibah 'Food Park'

Well, me and a few friends decided to go out for supper, and ended up here. The only translation I could think of was food park, and even that seems strange, or maybe what the people who set this up mean it to be a food court? Anyway, on to the food.
To start of with the drinks, all of us had this Fruit Ice, normally called 'shui guo bin' here. Its a mixture of fruits such as watermelon and honeydew with blended ice and some jelly on top, only for the price of Rm 2.50, we all had this, the bloody copycats.This plate of mee hoon was priced at RM3.00, the standard Sibu price for a plate of fried noodles etc. Mixed with a few slabs of meat and some vegetables, it also looks and tastes like mee hoon.
Now for the next item on the list, this plate of shan guo zhi, ' The Three Kingdoms' mixes three types of noodles together, I'm not sure how it tastes like, but it should be quite good since my friend ordered it twice.

Overall, the food here was to my liking, and the service here was quite fast. but one thing still puzzles me...What was in the plastic bag that was so interesting?

Sheraton Restaurant

Well, I'm just another one of those guys who gets dragged around attending dinners because of obligations to other people, which is why I found myself at the Sheraton Restaurant the other day. Its rather close to Telekom Sibu, if anyone's interested.


When you see this, your first impression of Sheraton would most probably be a kopitiam, or an outdoor 'restaurant', like so:

Well, since I've been living in Sibu for quite a while already, it not a surprise to see this big ass building instead of a coffeeshop:


I apologize for the poor picture quality, my phone doesn't have a very good megapixel. Anyway, onto the food. As some people know, there are mainly 7-8 courses when you go out for 'dinner', which is our equivalent for attending engagement parties and such. The first course always winds up as something like this:
Looks tasty, doesn't it? Its actually just an appetizer, consisting of stuff just as Shark's fin, fried sotong(squid), and such. Next on the typical list is the soup:
When you come to Sibu, the soup will normally be a seafood type of soup, but we had chicken soup that day, not exactly our of the norm, but a tad surprising. The third item on the list is fish curry, which is said to be the specialty if this particular restaurant.


The restaurant will supply you with rice to go with the curry, or I doubt anyone would have been able to finish it. The curry is rather spicy, so is not recommendable for people who don't know how to eat hot stuff. Overall, it is a rather delectable dish if you like spicy food. The 4th is a dish of vegetables.

A mixture of tofu, carrots, a few slabs of meat, mushrooms etc. Not exactly a culinary delight, but not bad either. The next dish is something I only came in contact with that day.


Soft shelled crab, with jellyfish on the side. I'm not exactly a great fan of crustaceans, as I'm normally too lazy to peel of the shells, so when this dish came out, I was rather surprised. You can just chew the whole thing, as the shell has been reduced to a crisp, which is edible as well. This is definitely worth a try if you visit Sheraton. The second last dish is prawns. They were a bit bigger than normal prawns, but not exactly fresh. Below shows one of the prawns on my plate.

Nuff said. The last dish normally consists of a dessert and most importantly fruits. However, I will be leaving you to imagine what kind of fruit had been placed on the plate that day.Honestly speaking, I just forgot to take a picture of the fruits before we polished it off. I guess Sibu people rarely have the problem of constipation.

All in all, I would recommend the fish and the crab for anyone keen on visiting this restaurant. The chicken soup is quite good as well. If you need directions, just follow the road signs to the library, you will see the building on your left.
