Ocean Seafood Restaurant

I love to eat seafood especially crabs. These days, fresh and cheap crabs are hard to get, but I found a restaurant which offers really fresh and cheap crabs and lots of other seafood at unbelievable prices. It's at Ocean Seafood Restaurant, Puchong.

The seating arrangement was comfortable and spacious. 

I was glad to be invited to try their dishes. It's hard to believe that every dish cost RM 15.00 only except for vegetables and crabs. Vegetables are Rm8.00 to Rm 12.00 and crab dishes were priced according to the sizes.

We had 3 Spicy Buttermilk Crabs for only RM 50.00. I loved the taste. The spicy buttermilk sauce was not too spicy and it blended well with the curry leaves. The crab meat was very fresh and I loved every bite.

Fried Mantis Prawn with Dry Chilli was very delicious and crunchy. It was sweet and salty and goes well with rice. Not that spicy and suitable for children.

Scallop with Cheese Sauce was my daughter's favorite as she loves to eat scallop. The cheese sauce was very tasty, cheesy and smooth.

Lala in superior soup. The soup had wolfberries, onions, garlic and the seafood broth. There were lots of fresh lala.

Claypot Curry Prawn was delicious and I really think this dish was very cheap priced at RM15.00. The prawns were big and fresh, the curry sauce was thick and not too spicy.

Squid in Siamese style was really appetizing as it was sour, spicy, with lots of crushed peanuts, cucumber and carrots. There was a generous serving of fresh squid and this dish gave me more appetite to eat more.

Chinese Spinach in Superior Soup was cooked with wolfberries, spinach, egg, mushroom and chicken, This tasty soup was very delicious and Chinese always love to drink soup for dinner.

Claypot Steam Fish was very fresh. The fish sauce tasted perfect and this dish was also very cheap priced at RM 15.00 only.

Saury fish was fried to perfection, cruchy and dry. Goes well with the chilli sauce. It's a nice snack if you want to eat it without rice. 3 saury fish for Rm15.00 too.

Beancurd with Seafood had one big piece of square beancurd made by the restaurant staffs, cooked with mushroom, prawns, squid, carots and corns. The beancurd was very smooth and tasted very delicious with the seafood and sauce.

This restaurant also offers Set Lunch on weekdays which cost RM 8.90 and RM 9.90 only.

Overall, the food was very tasty, delicious, fresh and cheap. I will surely come back for more with my family.

Play-Doh Celebrates 60 Years Anniversary!

Today I brought my 2 kids to The Curve, Mutiara Damansara to celebrate Play-Doh's 60 years anniversary. Time flies and I still remember playing Play-Doh when I was 7-9 years old. Play-Doh has been around so long to let children have so much fun and happiness. Children are so imaginative and I am impressed how creative they are.

Visitors to the Curve this school holidays will be greeted by endless creativity and fun. Doh-llywood Wall of Fame features handprints and birthday messages of 60 celebrities and influencers, also known as Doh-Bassadors of Creativity. Launched today in conjunction with Play-Doh's 60th anniversary and World Play-Doh Day on 16th September, the event pays homage to the role Play-Doh has played in the lives of these individuals. Organised by Hasbro Toy (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., the event will be held from 6th - 18th September 2016 at the Centre Court, the Curve, Mutiara Damansara.

Play-Doh was originally developed by a soap company based in Cincinnati, United States, to be used as wallpaper cleaner. It's a compound with three core ingredients - water, salt and flour. Play-Doh started with 4 colours red, yellow, white and blue 60 years ago and is now available in more than 50 colours!

The iconic yellow can was introduced to the world in 1956 and since then has expanded into more than 80 countries across the globe with more than three billion cans of Play-Doh compound sold - that's enough Play-Doh compound to reach to the moon and back three times! Visitors who come here will be able to meet and greet Doh Doh, the Play-Doh mascot over the weekends.

Kelly Yip, Brand Manager for Hasbro Toy (Malaysia) said, "The Play-Doh brand is known to promote the development of children's motor skills ,communication skills and creativity. Likewise, the activities during this event will encourage children to open a can of imagination - to tap into their creativity and imagination. When you open a can of Play-Doh compound, it inspires endless possibilities of what you can create with Play-Doh. I would like to extend my personal thanks to our Doh-Bassadors for agreeing to be a part of this initiative. Having been around for 60 years, Play-Doh is proud to play a part in the childhood of many of these individuals. Many of them are parents themselves now, using Play-Doh to cultivate creativity in their very own children."

Upon purchase of minimum RM 60, participants will be given a gift and can choose up to 3 activities besides having a chance to sit on an electronic car ride around the atrium.

Zoo Moo's Big Day Out at The Parenthood, Sunway Pyramid

Last Saturday, I brought my children to Zoo Moo's Big Day Out at The Parenthood, Sunway Pyramid. The Parenthood Playland is where children can have fun with the slides, swings, climbing and other fun activities. There is another outlet at Sunway Putra Mall.

While the children were busy playing, parents were in a room listening to the Zoo Moo's Big Day Out sharing session. Zoo Moo is the world's first fully interactive TV network devoted entirely to the Animal World. The Zoo Moo tv channel is on Astro 619 which has puppets, cartoons, games, music, puzzles and activities design to create a unique television and educational experience for young children. The Zoo Moo's Big Day Out discussion was on child development and how to balance children's digital exposure. Aishah Sinclair, Dr. Shen-Li Lee and General Manager of Zoo Moo Network, Catherine Nebauer gave us some advice and their experience on how to let children have fun watching TV, playing iPad educational games and also have children go outdoors and balance their daily activities. It was a great learning experience for parents who attended this sharing session.

There were lucky draws for parent who attended Zoo Moo's Big Day Out and lucky winners won RM1,000 worth of Zoo Moo products and 5 times entrance to The Parenthood Playland.

We proceeded to have lunch at Lillipilli Cafe just beside the playland. There were lots of beautifully decorated cupcakes, cookies, fried calamari, rojak, fried rice, pasta, pizza and hot dogs.The food tasted really delicious and I liked the fried calamari the most.

My boy with Ninja Gorilla

After the delicious lunch, the children had fun making puppets and folding origami rabbits and butterflies.

There were Zoo Moo mascots, Latif the Lion and Ninja Gorilla to educate children by asking questions about animals and playing guess the animal picture. My children and I learnt a lot about animals. Well, does anyone know what animal lays the biggest egg? Most people guessed ostrich but the correct answer is shark. 

Guess the animal in the picture game.

My children continued to play until 5pm. They really enjoyed themselves. If you want to bring your children here, visit The Parenthood Facebook HERE or The Parenthood website HERE for more information.

Myeong Dong Topokki - Korean Food Review

A few days ago, I was at Myeong Dong Topokki, 1 Utama Shopping Center with some blogger friends and tasted some very delicious Korean food. Myeong Dong Topokki was established in 2014 and brought together various Korean street food served with a variety of Korean signature delicacies. This restaurant emphasizes efficiency, convenience and quick service. Customers need to order, get a receipt with a number and wait for the number before taking the food.

I have been to Seoul with my mom many years ago and when we were there, the tour guide introduced a kind of rice cake drenched with spicy red chilli sauce called Topokki. This was enjoyed by Royal Koreans before it was widely introduced to others around 1950s. Topokki is very popular in Korea and I remember it tasted really good and we bought it from the hawker stall. In Korea, it is eaten as a snack or full meal.

Topokki

If you want to try some mouth-watering snacks or main meals with a great atmosphere with friends and family, do check this restaurant.

 Dol Sot Bibimbap is a signature Korean dish served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with vegetables, beef and egg. The side dishes are fried anchovies with peanuts, kimchi and bean sprout & carrot slices. The bowl was very hot and kept my rice warm even till the last bite.

Seafood Ramyum - The soup was quite spicy and a little salty, seafood was fresh and the noodles was springy. I like the seaweed that was sprinkled on top of it. It was really tasty.
