"Kalu Sedap Kabo Ke Saing-saing,

Kalu Dok Sedap Kabo Ke Kami" 

- restaurant's motto

The restaurant's specialty is fruit juice in huge containers. We soberly ordered normal-sized glasses and one big (besar) glass. It was too much.

Other sizes you can choose from: 

Kecil (small)

Sedang (average)

Besar (big)

Bapok (big daddy!)

King (bigger than big daddy)

Kasut (shoe-shaped glass)

Jag (literally a jug)

Bakul (basket-size)

Ikan (not sure if they meant fish bowl or fish-shaped container)

and jars of several sizes.

Huge-ass drinks are no longer a novelty but it's fun to indulge once in a while. Tell them to add milk if you're bored with plain old juice.

Taste - Good but nothing special

Price - Good value. RM19.60 for 3 pax

Ambiance - Typical roadside restaurant

Mango | Honeydew | Pineapple

Nasi Minyak (RM4.00)

Chicken for the nasi minyak

Laksam (RM3.00)

I didn't try the keropok lekor (RM1 for 5 pieces) but many reviewers mentioned it. A decent place for dinner or snack. 

Try this place and if it's to your liking, tell your friends! (Like the restaurant's motto suggested)

Wan Zainab Seafood, Pantai Cahaya Bulan

Wan Zainab Seafood

Pantai Cahaya Bulan

This time, I tried a different shop and although the shaved ice wasn't as pretty as the other shop, the batter fried thingy tasted wayyyy better than the last. So do visit this one to avoid risk of biting into almost-rotten food on stick.

Batter thingy. I dunno what they are called. (RM2 - RM3 per stick)

Shaved Ice (ABC) *love love love*

Taste - Good

Price - Fair

Ambiance - Average. Ventilation could be improved.

Confession: I didn't want to go at first. I thought it will be one of those substandard and overpriced souvenir chocolate.

  I was wrong.

Luckily, Yono convinced me to drop by Monggo Chocolate factory. I didn't get to visit the factory because it was already late in the evening but I ended up buying lots of chocolate!

The staff were all friendly and helpful. They offered samples for tasting to help you decide what to buy. My favourite flavours are Caramello and Praline. 

  They also have weird flavours like durian and chilli. Unlike many other disasters of fusion flavoured chocolates, Monggo did theirs very well and I thought the taste were... unique. Definitely a treat! 

You can use credit card to pay for your purchase. The price was fair at IDR 288400 (less than RM100) for that whole lot up there.
