Monkey Shoulder Whisky mix with Schweppes Bitter Lemon 

Monkey Shoulder Whisky is easy to enjoy on its own but I like to mix it with Schweppes Bitter Lemon as a great cocktail like kind of drink, great for sipping.

Finally we visited this place after reading many posts about it. We liked and have been visiting Nam Moon just a few doors away. 

Kim Chi & BBQ used to be located at the opposite side of this road. (I am not sure if the previous place is still in operation). Being a recent move, the exterior and interior are still new and nice. Once inside, we were greeted as per the norm and ushered to our table. 

The first thing that we noticed, was the missing air suctions that dangled from the ceiling for each table. It is kind of the must have in any Korean BBQ restaurants, to keep the patrons from smelling like a walking BBQ meat when they leave the place. 

The layout of the dining space is well planned, designed and afforded much privacy with the high back booths, low partitions and decorative walls. The ambience is cosy but alas, the air-con was under power during our visit and it was kind of warm.

Service is prompt and friendly. There is a call button at each table.

After placing our order, the side dishes were served. This was steamed egg in a cup for each person. 

Eight dishes and refillable. They were average, and none were nice enough for us to repeat. 

Pig's Feet Salad Rm 29.00 (Small) 
This was new to us and we decided to try. It was served, beautifully arranged, on a platter with the variety of vegetables and jellyfish strips beneath the slices of pig's feet. Being a salad, it is a cold dish. The salad dressing was at the base of the platter and it tasted really good. Sweet, sour and has wasabi in it. 

Each slice of pig's feet was a good combo of meat, fat and skin. It tasted remotely similar to the Chinese version of Braised Pork.

The dollop of condiment in the spoon like mini dish was an expression of cincalok and it was salty to taste. Unlike the sweet sourish and savoury version that we are accustomed to. 

While I prefer to enjoy the slices of pig's feet on its own, I also tried to put a bit of every veggie and jelly fish on it and rolled them together to form a mouthful, and it was another dimension of enjoyment.

Stir Fried Squid Rm 25.00

We prefer the version from Jang Won. The squid was overcooked and not fresh. The chilli gravy did not tasted as nice.

Seafood Green Onion Pancake Rm 25.00

The version here is our newly crowned "Best Seafood Pancake" in our own list. Fragrant, thin and crispy, with excellent mouth feel. The dip was balanced in taste and helped to enhance the pancake and gave us a second enjoyment. I will recommend this as a must try dish. 

Complimentary fruit and mochi (red bean). I still prefer they provide Sujeonggwa. 

Big signboard and frontage that one will find it hard to miss.

Celebration at home with Veuve Clicquot Brut

Rm 250 available at Jusco, Tesco, Liquor Shops, etc 

We came across this Champagne in Georgetown, Penang and decided to try.

I am not a Champagne fan but it has it's place during occasions in our life.

There is one more label to try, looking forward to it.

Fried Chicken Wings were delicious, by Mrs Tea.

Whisky Ice Ball Maker bought from DAISO

Tried: 2015 Jun

Whisky Ice Ball Maker bought from DAISO

Ever since I watched how elegant it can be from this video, it has been added to my "to-get" checklist. 

Hibiki 17 Years with Ice Ball

It is said that the ice ball melts slower than smaller ice cubes, allowing the whisky to be enjoyed without being too watery or diluted by the ice water. 

To my delight, I came across an Ice Ball Maker in Daiso (Aeon Bukit Indah) and bought it to try. It works, not as elegant but it is the closest I can get and it is price friendly at Rm 5.30 (incl. GST)

I have tried my whisky with the Ice Ball and found that it elegant. It definitely melted slower than multiple smaller ice cubes. It offers a different enjoyment in style, taste and pace.

Alternatively, I googled and found this. It is available for sale in several countries, including Malaysia.

What we like:

Nice natural greenery surrounding the club with a natural pond in front of the infinity swimming pool.
It provides a serene spot for relaxing the mind, while still in the bustling city.

Ambiance that is unique not easily found in other clubs. 

New building and is well maintained. Clean and comfortable environment.

Friendly service staff.

What we don't like:

The driveway leading to the club is not obvious and the signboard is located in a disadvantageous spot that motorists will find it difficult to look for it.

Available:

Swimming Pool (open to Public at Rm 10 nett per person, children as well)
Games Room
Restaurant (Menu and promotions in photos)
