For backpackers who want to fill up your hungry stomach with a healthy meal, Grill'd will be one of your greatest choice. The ingredients used are the freshest of all. The burgers are tasty and the price are reasonable.

If you are in the rush, just make a call in advance to place your order. Upon reaching, the burger is ready to be collected.

On the 7th day of our trip at Melbourne, we had our dinner at Grill'd which is located at Melbourne Central.


Grill'd not only provides their customers varieties of burger choices; it also provides 3 selective choices for the type burger bun namely: PANINI, TRADITIONAL or GLUTEN FREE.

The buns used are baked daily and contain no added sugar and no artificial preservative. Not only that, the fat on the chicken breasts are trimmed off too!

In short:
1. Queue up
2. Choose which burger you want
3. Choose the type of burger bun you love
4. Pay
5. Wait at your table and the burger will be served soon!

This is the Grill'd Bird & Brie - the grilled chicken breast is well served with brie cheese, cranberries sauce, salad and herbed mayo. Feeling mouth-watering right? It only costs for AUD10.90.


The Zen Hen - the grilled chicken breast with the tangy satay sauce, coriander, shredded carrot, salad and herbed mayo. The taste is quite special. Yummy! It's price is AUD 9.90.


The 'Simon Says' - the grilled chicken breast come with avocado, crispy trim bacon, salad, relish and herbed mayo. It is AUD10.90.


The chicken breast from Grill'd are soft and tender. It maintained the moist of the chicken.

One of the adding point for Grill'd is the thick cut chips which are cooked in cholesterol free cottonseed oil. The chips are so crispy. It is indeed a healthy snack for everyone so do not worry if you want to eat more. The chips is AUD4.30 per serving.

Right after the meal, we have started to miss this delighful burgers. Keep thinking of when is the next time to eat Grill's burgers again.

Melaka Great Food - Lee Restaurant 肥李海鲜酒家

Scratching your head thinking of which restaurant in Melaka where you can find finger lickin' good seafood? I will recommend you to try Fat Lee Restaurant a.k.a 肥李海鲜酒家.

This restaurant is located in Ayer Keroh. The restaurant is having it's own official website. Click here to visit.

This restaurant is not only famous in Melaka. But it is also well known around the world. The famous 香港食神 a.k.a "HongKong God of Food" - 梁文韬 also visited this restaurant.

Without wasting any time, I will start to blog about the trademark dish of Lee Restaurant.

Fresh Milk Crab. I give two thumbs up to this dish as the thick gravy sauce blends really well with the fresh crabs served. This dish is even sumptuous when you dip the crispy, crusty, toasted bread into the gravy. Its heavenly bliss, i should say!



Next, let me introduce to use this succulent salad prawns with deep-fried butter prawns' heads. This dish is definitely a big YES for all walks of life, regardless, whether they are grey or young. Trust me, they will love these and even crave for it in the next visit to come!




This fried fish in Thai Flavor is also one of my favourites. The credits goes to Chef Lee for making our dinner a memorable and satisfying one with this freshly fried fish with sweet, sour and spicy tastes. Again, another marvelous recipe from him !

Top on my list is vermicelli cooked in coconut curry gravy with prawns. The gravy is extremely delicious to be eaten with rice. And, it tastes even better if you eat while it is still piping hot. But, no worries, it is not so spicy, so everyone can enjoy this meal to the fullest!

This is fried oysters wrapped in egg omelette. By just looking at this photo, I am very sure you are salivating now! Haha! Why not go and try this dish and it will satisfy your appetite!


Well, there are also many ways to serve fried fish. Another one would be this dish which i called it Fried Fish with Garlic in Soy Sauce. This also goes well with rice, which is the staple diet of all Malaysians.


Some may prefer it less oily and steamed food. Here you have your Hong Kong style steamed fish with spring onions. Served hot and fresh, it opens your appetite.

A stable diet also includes vegetables. In this restaurant, there are a variety of vegetables to cater to every customers. The choice is yours. Take a sneak peek into the photos taken.




Lastly, Hong Kong style fried vermicelli. Noodles lovers, you will definitely love it! Serve it while it is hot!

Feeling hungry after reading my blog? Go try it!

Travel in Malaysia-Genting Highlands

Great! It is another trip for us to Genting Highlands.

This time, we are staying in Highland Hotel. The hotel look much more classy compared to First World Hotel which we usually stay in. Consequently, the price is "classy" too!

It provide 2 queen size beds and complimentary fruits and drinks for us. Not a bad deal!





After placing everything, we went to casino. This time, lady luck was not on myside. The result turned out to be, I "donated" a sum of money to Genting.

Feeling a little hungry, we went to Starbucks to have some tea time. We ordered a piece of cake, a muffin and a cup of ice blended mango. It was a relaxing moment for us to have something to chew in a cool weather.







While waiting for dinner time to arrive, we had some phototaking sessions around.









At about 7pm, we called up to Mushroom Farm Restaurant for reservation. Mushroom Farm Restaurant is one of the cheap eats in Genting Highland. Besides that, it also provides to-fro transport to the restaurant. Please call 03-61012864 for reservation.



What you need to do is:
1. Give them a call @ 03-61012864
2. Make your reservation
3. Tell them where and when will be your pick up point
Simple isn't it! :)



Upon reaching, we got ourselves seated and placed our order. These are what we ordered:

The famous dish - Fried Butter Fish. The speciality of the fish is the meat of the fish are fried to perfection and at the same time, the golden flossy flakes made from butter and egg, made it simply irresistable!





Tian Qi Vegetable. This is actually known as Di Wang Vegetable for us. It is famous over in Genting also.



Lemon Chicken. One of my favourites. Crispy!



Claypot Taufu. Nothing special about this. So so for me.



After finishing our dinner, is time to burn some fat. We boarded the free shutter and stop at First World Hotel. We had a stroll around the shop lots and ended our day1.















The lobby of Highland Hotel.







After a good night sleep it is day2! The morning of day2 form our room.



We started our day2 journey by visiting Lim Goh Tong Memorial located inside Genting Hotel. Full tribute to the late Mr Lim for his hardwork to promote Genting as one of best holiday resort in the world!







After that, we went for a stroll in the Park outside Highland Hotel. Very beautiful!









Next up, pool and bowling session!

Focusing...



Aiming...



Feeling thirsty, we got ourselves an Baskin Robbins ice cream. Very creamy and tasty!



We went back to the park in front of Theme Park Hotel hoping to capture KL scenery during the day, but too bad the fog was thick and we could only do some photo shooting around the park.









Next, we visited Resort Hotel. The lobby of the hotel was well renovated. I love the decorations in this particular Hotel.









It was almost dinner time and we went for a "All You Can Eat Steamboat Buffet" @ RM19.90++/pax.



It offers quite a number of varieties of selection ranges from vegetables, meat, fishball and oyster. At this price, it is another cheap eat which I strongly reccomend you to try in Genting.











The lobby at Genting Hotel.





We ended our day after the dinner. Woking up early on day3, we will be going for Dim Sum!

The morning view from our room.



We will be having our Dim Sum breakfast in Good Friends Restaurant. We waited for
for quite sometime before we got ourselves seated. The restaurant was full!



Upon seated, we placed our order and these are what we ordered:
