Salam & Hi lovelies! 

Happy Saturyayy & happy weekend to all! In case ada yang tengah looking forward nak makan-makan / jalan-jalan luar this weekend or next, jom I suggest you guys pergi ke Janda Baik, Pahang - Figgy's Cafe - including Karya (art gallery) yang around the cafe area juga! 

Alright so last weekend me and my family went there to have our lunch and sightseeing. My dad & stepmom actually already went there before and they said that the cafe truly serves good food, hence, this time they both nak bawa me and my siblings untuk try makan di sana as well hehe, hence there we go.

Dengar macam jauh kan, yet actually, kalau dari Subang area, it took around 45 minutes macam tu je (during this Raya season guys!) untuk sampai ke Janda Baik, Pahang. Perjalanan pun tak rasa jauh actually, and upon arriving tu, leka betul yea tengok the scenery sepanjang jalan naik ke Janda Baik tu, sebab cantik betul dan sangat menenangkan rasa bila tengok. Indeed it was my first time to went up there, happy tau pergi tu hehe. 

Untuk dapatkan direct / full location, korang boleh Waze je 'Figgy's Cafe' okay. Tak susah pun direction dia, serious hehe. Okayyy so now that kitorang dah sampai tu, dari luar nampak comfy dan luas Cafe ni, cantik tersusun, nak ambil gambar around the cafe pun nice sangat, giving such good & instaworthy vibes juga hehe! Strategic as well since bersebelahan dengan surau dan next inside the Cafe ada their own Fig Farm (Figgy Farm) which they do open for visit to all tau. Selain itu, ada Art Gallery juga namely Karya, which open for everyone too. Toilet pun available nearby, so yess no fuss untuk makan dan lepak kat sini to all heheh. 

Feel free to check out my video review ni yeaa :

Okay macam yang korang boleh tengok dalam my video tu, gitulah suasana Cafe tu yea. Buah-buahan fresh dan sedap, juicy dan refreshing rasa as appetizer sambil nak order hehe. Too bad I terlupa pula nak snap gambar menu untuk Set Masakan Melayu tu, truly apologise yea guys! Yet I can share briefly with you guys regarding their menu there okayy. 

Ada banyak pilihan makanan yang you all boleh pilih tau, dari citarasa masakan Melayu, hinggalah ke Western Food, desserts, dan Wagyu pun ada in their menu! Cumanya unfortunately kitorang tak dapat nak try Wagyu since stock tak sampai lagi pulak at the time, hence it's okay lah perhaps next time ada rezeki to try hehe. 

Bagi Masakan Melayu, korang boleh pilih either set ataupun add on lauk pauk. Ada beberapa jenis set yang korang boleh pilih, which are : 

Kari Ikan Jenahak

Asam Pedas Jenahak

Set Kari Ikan Jenahak / Set Asam Pedas Jenahak 

(Set didatangkan dengan : Nasi + Timun + Telur masin + Sambal + Kari Ikan / Asam Pedas Jenahak) - boleh pilih nak part Kepala / Badan / Ekor yea, price range dari belasan ringgit ke RM3+ if I'm not mistaken 🙏

Set Ayam Goreng Berempah / Ikan Goreng + Telur Itik Masak Lemak 

(Set didatangkan dengan : Nasi + Timun + Telur masin + Sambal + Ayam Goreng Berempah / Ikan Goreng + Telur Itik Masak Lemak) RM13 per set

Selain set lauk di atas, korang boleh juga set lauk lain ni tau, dan boleh juga if nak pilih untuk add on lauk je / telur dadar etc okayy.. Antara pilihan lauk pauk lain yang available adalah : 

Ayam Masak Lemak, Daging Masak Halia, Ayam Masak Kicap, dan Daging Masak Halia Bentong (each set untuk lauk pauk lain ni pun berharga belasan ringgit - around RM13 macam tu juga seingat I)

Alright settle bab Masakan Melayu, now pilihan untuk Western / Wagyu / Sharing + drinks pula : 

Actually dekat Cafe tu ada menu card yang lebih updated menunya tau,

contoh ada chicken chop crispy (RM17), chicken grill (RM20), etc

Yezzaa memang banyak pilihan yang I think boleh kena sangat dengen tekak semua orang, be it kids or adults. Kalau tak minat nasi, boleh pilih nak burger ke, lamb chop ke, pasta ke, haa macam kitorang gitulah yang kitorang order hehe, korang boleh tengok our order of the day kat dalam my video tu yea 😁 

Seriously, semua yang kitorang order tu sedap-sedap belaka! Nasi dan lauk pauk tu memang tak rugi cuba, sebab kuahnya sedap pekat padu secukup rasa, ikan / ayam pun fresh, dengan portion yang besar dan banyak, memang kenyang makan semua. Asam Pedasnya tu, bak kata my family, rasa macam lepas ni repeat sini jelah instead of ke Melaka haha. While Kari Ikan pun memang padu, kuah pekat secukup rasa, memang puas hati makan, boleh repeat lagi! 

Western foodie pula, I truly recommended Chicken Grill set (RM20) serious sedap - daging ayam yang di grilled tu sangat lembut, juicy, gravy pun sedap, mashed potato pun ummphh memang tasty & creamy, along with fresh chef salads, portion memang cukup buat penuh perut happily haha! Lamb Chop (RM28) pun didatangkan dengan sides yang sama, sangat puas hati, cumanya daging lamb dia tu kalau dapat lagi lembut, mesti lagi umpphh hehe. Not that dia tak lembut, senang je to cut and eat, yet for me I prefer lamb yang more tender, medium to medium well kinda cook. But I think this one pun suits nicely to most people punya taste generally lah okayy, since dagingnya still okay, tidaklah liat pun heheh. Gravy (black pepper sauce) pun sama sedap, loveee sebab balance rasa black pepper tu, tak overpowering their overall taste, so memang suits perfectly with the meat & side dish. 

Chicken Grill

Lamb Chop

Fig Cake & Caramel Pudding

Watermelon Juice

As for drinks and desserts, I think korang boleh check out my brief review kat dalam my video tu jelah yea, basically for juices memang fresh, terasa buahnya dan manisnya secukup rasa, air lain-lain pun okaylaa macam biasalah kan hehe. Desserts boleh pause tengok dalam video for review yea hehe. Overall, kitorang semua sangat puas hati dengan all food that we ordered and had that day, and would love to repeat makan di sana lagi nanti insyaAllah hehee. 

Haa yang ni bonus - as I mention dalam my video review tu, I included this cafe punya Fig Farm, dan juga Karya Art Gallery tu kan, haa so for me, perfect sangat untuk datang with families + kids sebab selain makan-makan, ada jugalah aktiviti-aktiviti lain yang boleh kita buat bersama-sama dengan our kids / families. Interesting kan lepas makan or sebelum makan boleh visit dan tengok sendiri Fig Farm, definitely will learn something from that visit and love that the figs that they serve in their cafe ni semuanya fresh from their own farm! Feel free to check out their IG : @figgyscafeoffcial for more details / updates okayy.

So yummy & juicy!

Since my kids memang minat arts, so diorang join Painting Class di Karya tu after kenyang makan hehe. They totally had their fun, and so cute sebab boleh bawa balik hasil tangan mereka sendiri, siap boleh jadikan as perhiasan / in gift form tau since they gave the magnetic tape as well, so memang letak kat fridge lah jawablah hehee. Selain join Painting Class, korang boleh juga tengok-tengok arts yang ada di gallery ni, also boleh purchase gifts here or boleh juga join their exhibition if you're interested to okayy, boleh follow their IG : @karyadijandabaik for more updates yeaa. 

Price to join painting class based from jenis size ni tau, 

untuk square craft board tu jenis kecil RM10, 

while jenis Round tu besar sikit RM15 

Such a unique and fun experience to visit and dine in at this Figgy's Cafe, a lovely time with our family as well, thank you for such a great service, food and hospitality to all Figgy's Cafe as well as Karya's staff team. No this is not a sponsored review post or anything, yet more like my terjah review - macam biasa lah kan if you've been following me hehe. 

Well, I hope my honest review here will be beneficial to all, dan moga maju jaya lagi to both Figgy's Cafe & Karya Art Gallery. Thank you for your time spent to read and watch my video here yea guyss, may you all will have a great weekend and ahead. Till next time, take care!

Salam & Hi lovelies! 

Alright as promised from my video posting, I wanna share all the deets for Ipoh staycation & foodie as me and my family had went to around last week. It was indeed not really planned, as actually we've been postponed this staycation several times before we finally managed to went earlier heheh. We even just walked in for the hotel room, since couldn't found the suitable room / stay for us few days before we went. 

We were at Ipoh for 2 days and 1 night only, such a brief staycation indeed as we didn't went during the school holidays. Indeed it was way more comfortable that way since the place weren't packed with people as it will usually did during holidays / peak hours of course. Hence, the confidence to just walk in for the hotel room too heheh. In case you haven't watch my video of this Ipoh staycation, feel free to watch it below yeaa :

We stayed at Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites - which we got the Family Suites type of room with 2 king beds. The room includes bath tub, mini fridge, tv, iron & ironing board and the other usuals including free breakfast. We can see the river and town's view from our room, beautiful indeed at night with the colourful light outside, and the room is spacious as well as totally comfortable indeed for the 4 of us. 

As for the breakfast food, we got to choose variety of foodie range which served in buffet style - we've tried their Pancake, Nasi Lemak, Dim Sum, Desserts, Coffees and Juices as well, everything were tasty! I think it's fair to say that the hotel location is also good as we're able to visit several places of interests around with ease and just nearby. Overall, we're happy with our stay at the hotel. As you can see I've featured some of the pics from our room, and below are the pics at the swimming pool, and during the breakfast time at the hotel okayy. You can find more in my video that I included here as well yeaa. 

Next, let's go through with the places that we visited during our stay at Ipoh. Since we only have our vacation briefly, we didn't manage to ticked off every places on our place-to-visit list, but we're happy with our visits to these places too! 

IPOH NIGHT MARKET 

This is such a lively place as there are lots of foodie and things available in such spacious place, including live show as well to entertained every visitors. We easily found our parking when we arrived, despite saw many visitors already there as the front parking space seems full yea guys. Why here you asked? Well, one of the most popular to try in here are the Niase stall foodie which are popular with their Thai TomYam & Grilled Beef (Daging Harimau Menangis if I'm not mistaken). 

We wanna try both of their specialties actually that night, but unfortunately they've ran out of their grilled beef stock, hence we only managed to try out their famous Tom Yam with noodles. Boy oh boy, the bowls were filled with prawns, enoki, etc and the Tom Yam gravy definitely 'kaw' enough - tasty, spicy, yet creamy and thick. As someone who doesn't eat spicy food, I gotta warn you that it's really spicy for me, but taste good indeed. While as for my hubby who eat spicy food, he said that it's good and the spiciness is okayy, but the creamy taste isn't really his cup of tea. Perhaps because he preferred the regular (non dairy) Tom Yam gravy better.  My take is, you definitely gotta try them yourselves and the portion were satisfying too. 

Other than that, we also brought the Jumbo Juice Cup (which stall located in front of the Niase's stall) and other tidbits as well such as chicken wings, fries, egg bubble waffle and nuggets from nearby stalls. All tastes good, just the usuals, you know. I've included all these foodies in my video as well so feel free to check it out yeaa. Then we just wandered around, looking at the stuff they're selling, as well as took some pics at this instaworthy section of the place - with the colourful lights and all. We also passed by a Haunted House there, yet it's kinda funny as we heard the sound from inside heheh yeah you might giggles as well if you're passing them by. Overall, there are lots of stalls that you can check out there too, and we had a fun show from their talented dancers and singers that performed that night. 

IPOH HAINAN CHICKEN RICE

Oh before I forget, we had our lunch here at this famous Ipoh Hainan Chicken Rice shop (Jalan Anderson) the day that we arrived, right after checking in in the hotel earlier that day. The shop are just nearby the hotel, it was indeed full the moment we got there, but luckily we didn't have to wait for long to be seated after my hubby peeking at the door since nobody's checking for a while. Anyway, the Chicken Rice tastes good, along with their desserts - which we ordered mango and caramel pudding on the side. I do like the mango pudding better actually in case you wanna know which between the two pudding. Generally the portion is good too, yet I think some of their server could try to serve the customers better - we understand it's such a busy day at the shop, but that doesn't mean you can't serve us happily (even a fake one) with a smile on your face as well as speaking to us with good tones while asking and taking our orders, right? Overall, we're good with our lunch and just went back to our hotel as the kids wanna have some swimming time that evening huhu. 

CONCUBINE LANE 

Okayy guys, here comes the next and our last day at Ipoh. After check out from our hotel at noon, we visited Concubine Lane first - originally we thought of went there during the night of the day that we arrived (last night) but found out that it's basically ghost town there after 6pm, hence here we are visiting it during the noon. Since it's not during holiday, the crowds there aren't packed, so it's lots more comfy to walk around. This is a one narrow lane, much like a backdoor walk of the shops which we can find variety of shops selling foodie, flowers, and other street thingy stuff like bags, sunglasses, and more on our left and right side. 

We also stumbled upon this one shop that offered a free exhibition like thingy - the Glow In The Dark Sand (inspired by the Blue Sand). Interesting indeed, even though the glow in the dark are artificially made, it does works and seems pretty indeed. I've included it in my video so you can see okayy. 

As for foodie, there are variety that you can try and are already viral such as the Ice Ball, Cotton Candy, Kuma Rainbow Cheese Toasts, and more, yet these were the other things that we've tried too yeah : 

PLATFORM 9 3/4 (For Harry Potter a.k.a Pottered fans!)

I know most of you guys might have had visited this cafe already, but to those who doesn't yet, the cafe is on the right side after you've passed the Raindrop Cake stall okayy, you might missed it since it doesn't,t stand out much from it's outside look. The interior are filled with Harry Potter theme indeed, with several instaworthy spots for you Potterhead to take your pics or shoots some videos. Mind you that you need to make at least a purchase each in order to go upstairs and down at the back for their famous Harry Potter theme spots and tools. As for that, we've tried two of their drinks, which I can say that I happily recommended you guys to try - the Phoenix Cold Brew, and the Cookies & Cream Chips Frappe. They do have lots other selection indeed, but these are from some of their best pick, and glad that chose to try these too, as it does tastes good! For the Phoenix Cold Brew, I love how strong the coffee taste, not bitter for me, but blend nicely and truly umphh with the ices. As for the Cookies & Cream Chips Frappe, it taste yummy too, much like mocha as the chocolate and choc chip cookies more overpowering but not too sweet, hence it's tasty indeed. 

Next, I did tried the Raindrop Cake as well, it's actually pudding like texture which I did enjoyed - surprisingly it's good to try even though it seems really simple at first. I mean, frankly speaking, this is not on the top of my foodie-to-try list since I know how it will be taste like from looking at it before coming there, but yeah it kinda give me that feeling-good the moment I ate it. It's like a childhood memory gushing it's way back to me upon each bites. The firm but gooey and translucent 'raindrop' enjoyed with sweet sauce (I think it's the Gula Melaka sauce) along with crushed peanuts on the side, you know we Malaysian definitely familiar with all that right, hence I find this easily be enjoyable indeed, well at least for me. You can look at the close up for these Harry Potter cafe & Raindrop Cake in my video okayy. 

NASI GANJA YONG SUAN

Indeed this is one of the everyone recommended kinda foodie if you go to Ipoh, so yes we gotta go and try it too - especially my hubby since this is on top of his foodie list to try. The first day that we arrived, seems like the line was too long, as we kinda arrived early evening, hence we decided to go the next day at noon, so here were. My hubby managed to tapau after been in line for not long, and after finally tried to taste it, he said that it's good and he's happy that he managed to finally tasted it. I think if you're a fan of Nasi Ganja and Nasi Kandar kinda type, you might enjoy this one too okayy. 

Alright, before we head back home, we visited Gunung Lang Recreational Park for some back to the nature kinda activities with the kids. We join the boat ride and went on to visit the mini zoo as well as sight seeing around the park which include several types of village house, several kinds of animals like horses, rabbits, peacocks, bison, deers, etc and able to fish feeding too. Again, looks like it's not that much there but it was fine and we're had a good and fun time together. Truly love the serene views there as well. In addition, we brought their souvenirs there which include our picture with frames, one frame is like a booklet, and another one is kinda like a mini two-way frame - can put on a table as per usual and a fridge magnet as well, conveniently lovely indeed. 

Okay guys, that's all for our brief visit to Ipoh. We'd like to go again to cover more on our list, perhaps someday, right. Anyway, hopefully my sharing here is somewhat beneficial to you guys. Thank you for stopping by and giving your time to check out my sharing here yeaa. Till then, take care and have a great week ahead everyone!
