Prawning at Tropicana Ebi Fishing

During the Raya break, we decided to go for some prawning. We usually go to a place in Klang but this place is much nearer in PJ. It's also less sunny, cleaner and more comfortable.

The only downside would be the size of the man-made pond which you can see here. If it's crowded, it gets competitive. However, sometimes prawning really depends on luck. You could keep getting prawns while the person right next to you gets nothing for hours =x

Prawning is relatively easy compared to fishing so even children can join in. When you see the rod bending a little, give it a soft tug with your wrist and fight with the prawn for a few seconds before lifting it out of the water.

"Prawn oh prawn.. Where are you?"

We got a handful of prawns then this big guy came up! As jackpots, several lobsters have been thrown into the pond. FYI, you have to pay an additional RM 40 for the lobster. He won't tell you until you're leaving.

RM 40 so take photos yea..

Next to the pond is a picnic area with BBQ pits. There is also a steamboat area. The pits are usually RM 45 inclusive of charcoal but we used it for free that day.

The men got to work while I.. lepak-ed around taking photos LOL

We were informed that there's a Jaya Grocer down the road so we got some oyster mushrooms, corn, brinjals, bacon strips and meat from the butcher. Tropicana Ebi Fishing has salt, BBQ sauce and spices ready for you to cook.

Turned out not too shabby.. Except some of them were too salty and burnt as the fire was unpredictable xD

They charge RM 18/hour and provide free rods as well as nets. Baits (earthworm) are available at RM 10 which is probably usable for 3 rounds of 2/3 people.

TGV Indulge 1 Utama Review (Dinner & Movie)

INDULGE in a new experience, unique and different from the others at TGV Indulge!

With its own counter at TGV Indulge, you need not queue up with the other halls and treat yourself to some VIP-ness.

Cinema

Are you ready to see what the TGV Indulge cinema looks like?

Ta-da! Each patron gets a reclining chair, a small table, their own fluffy blanket and a button with which they may call for the waiter. The blankets are kept clean with daily washes and it was certainly one of the most comfortable cinema experiences I've had so far.

Food in cinemas are no longer limited to popcorn and nuggets! Items from the restaurant may be brought in with a bento box. Food such as steak or chicken are cut into smaller pieces for easy eating.

Interior

Now back to the restaurant.. Treat yourself to classy fine-dining with jazz music softly playing in the background. There are proper tables for eating and coffee tables with sofas. If you fancy, you can opt for a drink at the bar.

Price & Portion

Surprisingly, the price is kept reasonable with nothing over RM 30, considering the type of food they serve and the look of the place. No complains about the portion size. You can see it for yourself below.

Employees

Excellent service provided by the Indulge staff will leave you happy to be dining here.

Taste

Pumpkin Salad
Rocket leaves, honey roasted pumpkin, cherry tomatoes and capsicums. I especially enjoyed the generous Balsamic dressing with the crunchy salad.
Price : RM 15

Smoked Duck Salad
Smoked duck breast served with mesclun greens, capsicum, & skewed with kiwi and balsamic vinegar. The duck had a moderately smoky flavour but it was enough for a starter, without potentially ruining your main course.
Price : RM 15

Lamb Koftas
The round balls of lamb patties had a heavy taste of tumeric and were absolutely delicious. They were slightly salty but alright when paired with the green salad.
Price : RM 14

Stuffed Potato Skins
This was one of my favourites of the night - potato skins stuffed with turkey bacon and mozzarella. The crunchy potato matched with the savoury bacon was so simple yet so delectable. I recommend you to tapau this into the cinema!
Price : RM 12

Cajun Chicken
This was another favourite at the table. The boneless chicken thigh was perfectly grilled to give juicy and soft flesh packed full of flavour with Cajun seasoning. Yum! I absolutely loved this.
Price : RM 20

Grilled Salmon
A thick slice of salmon resting on mashed potatoes with vegetables on the side. I did find the salmon slightly dry but nothing the lemon butter sauce couldn't fix. It was fresh and not fishy. I also liked the mushrooms in the greens.
Price : RM 28

Grilled Lamb Rack
Treat your date with this platter of lamb rack with seasonal vegetables and rosemary sauce. Just the right amount of bite and not too dry. I'm usually sensitive towards the taste of lamb but this was actually quite tasty.
Price : RM 28

Panna Cotta
Thick Italian cooked cream topped with fruits. I enjoyed it with the raspberry puree. Only wish they had more raspberry! This dish had me scraping the plate to pick up every bit.
Price : RM 12

Nutty Tortilla Banana
Tortilla slices filled with peanut butter, cornflakes and freshly sliced banana. I found the tortilla too tough and potentially messy to be eaten in the cinema hall. However, I do like peanut butter and appreciate the combination of textures.
Price : RM 12

If you would like a 3-course meal, I would say go for the Stuffed Potato Skins, Cajun Chicken and Panna Cotta~

Ended the night with a cup of hot chocolate (RM 9) and small talk with the girls. Never thought I would say this but hanging out at this cinema was fun!

Indulge is a perfect meal & movie combined in a posh environment. Suitable for dates, families or even to have a meal with clients. They also provide space for events, product launches and company dinners.

For more info or to book tickets at TGV Indulge, log on to www.tgv.com.my or download the TGV Cinemas' Movie Buddy app on Apple App or Google Play Store.
TGV Indulge movie tickets are RM 45 per seat.

How to Peel A Bag of Potatoes in 40 Seconds

How to peel potatoes really quickly? Watch to find out! haha

Ingenious idea, no? Kitchens should adopt this method.. Not only does it get the job done fast but you won't over peel the potatoes.

Pay It Forward with The Bee

Doing good deeds can make you feel good about yourself but now you will be rewarded for it too! #ThisIsNotAnAd

The Bee gives one slice of free cake everyday for a whole month at both of their outlets in Jaya One and Publika. The only T&C? After you have your slice of cake, you have to #DoGood #AtTheBee. Each slice comes with a good deed which you have to fulfill. For example, here's Maggie and her cake, which requires her to..

Buy a drink or two for mall cleaners / security guards

So she fulfilled her promise!

Now, you can make this go on by something called 'Pay It Forward'. Person A does something nice for Person B who then proceeds to repay it by being nice to Person C.

Redemption was very easy. You just need your Samsung phone & with a press of the button, you're done. The queue wasn't very long either because it's so efficient. Max was 10 minutes because the fries had to be cooked. Most were instant redemption.
