Weird Dreams : Sabah is full of trees

So I had a dream last night... where I was visiting a Sabah friend in ...Sabah
I was brought over to this secluded area in a jungle where I am to climb up this vine towards a hole among the tree branches. After going through, I see myself in a dimly lit maze/theme park like area made entirely of carpentry.
Multiple gimmicks, bridges, musical instruments (angklungs) hanging about on display where it'll move with each step you take on the floor.
After running around and messing with the area, an alarm started to sound and we were directed to two doors for an obstacle/ activity with different challenges. I entered one of the doors and in it is a room with a circular 'Wheel of Fortune' ish wooden wheel on the ground that lights up when you step on each selection.... I don't remember what happens after that...

Random thoughts of torture

Picture a mafia fish torturing innocent fishes by drying them out under the sun while birds start feeding on their flesh and insides at a fishing village.

The Hunt for Ramen 2014 7/7! Achievement Unlocked!

Finally completed the list of ramen for 2014.

1. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavillion/Gardens/BSC
2.  Menya Musashi @ 1 Utama
3. Bankara @ Avenue K
4. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit/ Avenue K
5. Hokkaido Ramen @ Pavillion
6. Bari Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre
7. Taiko Japanese Cuisine @ Mont Kiara

The last ramen was Bari Uma at Jaya Shopping Centre. Shoyu based with tender chashu.
Delicious at first and then I've added with two dashes of garlic powder which helped bring out most of the flavor of the shoyu broth.
Halfway through, the broth's flavor was starting to overwhelm my mouth and became too salty. Noodles absorbed most of the flavor but a bit too salty for my taste.

So... my personal list of ramen based on taste/quality would be as follow.

1. Hokkaido Ramen @ Pavillion
2. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavillion/Gardens/BSC
3. Menya Musashi @ 1 Utama
4. Taiko Japanese Cuisine @ Mont Kiara
5. Bankara @ Avenue K
6. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit/ Avenue K
7. Bari Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre

For price wise, Menya Musashi still is the best ramen , price wise. Filling and delicious.

Weird Dreams : I'm not dreaming!!

So I had a dream last night where I was in the states again. Everything felt so real and believable. Then I told myself, 'this can't be a dream' but then I recalled that I didn't remember the flight journey here. 
So I woke up, saw my room in disappointment and went back to sleep to continue the dream and started yelling out in regret, 'This is a dream! ! Noooooooo! ! '. Grabbed a person next to me and told him, "You are a dream! I'm dreaming! This is all a dream!!"

After that, the dream continued as normal.... And I forgotten that it was only just a dream

The Hunt for Ramen 2014 6/7 ?!?!

So it seems that I thought I haven't been to Marutama before... but I found out I already have.
Ordered the signature dish and this time I remember what it actually tastes like; Maggi Mi Chicken Flavored broth but more creamier and thicker. Not bad.

So since that's the case... Now I have to make my way to Jaya Shopping Centre for BariUma Ramen

The Hunt For Ramen 2014 6/7


Just went to Taiko Ramen @ Mont Kiara
Had some of their signature 'Taiko Ramen', Bacon Scallops and Gyoza.

Bacon scallops was okay, bacon lacks sufficient flavor though.
Gyoza was average or as my friend calls it, "Typical reheated frozen gyoza".
As for the ramen, it was the cheapest in the list so far costing under RM20.
Broth tasted shoyu based but it's flavorful enough.
Ramen noodles was good, maybe on par with the other restaurants in the list.
The char shew however was forgettable. Barely tasted anything and possibly the worst thing in the bowl.
As for the egg, well, you can't really go wrong with it.

And with that, one more restaurant to visit before the list completes.
