Nice place to drink some beers @ Beer Channel

I've noticed Beer Channel a couple of times in our drive to Gelang Patah. Bright lights always attract me :) We decided to check out this joint and have beers to relax for the evening.

We ordered 1 pine of Strongbow (not exactly beer but that's what I felt like having) and 1 pine of Carslberg. Ian also ordered chicken chop for his dinner which was quite good. Overall, the 2 beers & chicken chop cost ~RM55. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. We'll definitely go back for more. Unfortunately I don't have the exact street address and I can't find it on the web, but this place is located between East Ledang and Gelang Patah. It's in an industrial shop houses complex.

Went to Dentist in Nusa Bestari

Because it's so difficult to get last minute appointment with dentists in Singapore, we thought we'd try visit a dentist in Johor and see how it compares. I found out that Q&M has opened a number of branches in Johor and there's 1 very close to East Ledang.

Q & M Dental Surgery's closest branch is at Nusa Bestari. Here's the address and contact details:
No. 85-01 Jalan Bestari 1/5 Taman Nusa Bestari
79150 Nusajaya
Johor, Malaysia
Tel: 07-5113089
Fax: 07-5123089

The clinic has been opened for about a year. It's a small but decent clinic. We did general check and cleaning plus filling. Total cost for the services was ~RM240 (from memory). The doctor's nice, professional and clinic is hygienic so we'll be back for more basic dentistry procedures.

For the four of us, the dinner cost ~RM630 (including a bottle of house wine, soft drinks & latte). The food was great (foie gras was the best dish), the service was very very slow during our visit. Though this is relatively cheaper than Singapore french restaurants, it is quite pricey for Johor's standard. It's nice to visit once in a while, but not every weekend.

P/S: Don't park your car underneath the big trees, or you'll have lots of "presents" from the birds :)

Traders Hotel Opening by End of 2012

Here's a recent picture we took of the Puteri Harbour's Traders Hotel development:

The 60,000-square-foot indoor theme park will feature world-renowned and popular children’s characters in three main areas: Hello Kitty Town, showcasing Hello Kitty and friends by Sanrio; the Little Big Club featuring HIT Entertainment's Thomas and Friends, Barney, Bob the Builder, Pingu and Angelina Ballerina; and a themed family restaurant by popular local cartoonist, Lat (per press release from Shangrila).

Excited!!!

Angry Birds fever continues

I've been seeing angry birds cakes, bags, toys, shirts...you name it, everywhere, especially in MY. I thought this tops it all. I think we saw this in AEON/Sutera Mall. Have a great Sunday!
