A couple of days ago I got dragged from my nice comfortable not so fluffy bed by my long time friend Sean who is back on a holiday for the Chinese New Year from his Masters course in RMIT Australia for something unexpected. Hiking. Mountain hiking + jungle tracking + zero visibility exploration to be exact. The place? Broga Hill. Located in Semenyih. Home of the infamous Semenyih Detention center where ISA detainees are kept under lock and key.But its not like we were tracking up the detention center anyways.
Woke up at an ungodly hour of 4.30 am to be picked up by Sean at 5-ish. We overshot the Broga Hill makeshift parking lot and got lost at the Broga Village. Almost hit a couple of dogs in the process too. Finally got our directions right after referring to the Broga police station who’s police officer on duty was nice enough to kindly paused his facebook session to direct us to our destination. No, I did not add him on FB after that morning thank you very much.

Honestly, I think I need to think up of better sounding titles that are more catchy. I have a feeling it might be getting lame lately. But in anycase, I heard about the this place interestingly called The Apartment from a few friends of mine and they mentioned about it having a peculiar comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Therefore, I took the opportunity recently to check it out for lunch. Located right next door to Italiannies at The Curve its very easy to spot.

I’m a guy who loves spicy food. I’m also a guy who really enjoys spicy food that will make you stop, drop and roll with your mouth thinking that it was actually on fire. I’m always up for the next burning hot challenge and then I stumbled upon a blog post by a certain local celebrity blogger by the name of Kenny Sia who tried having some Hanabero chilli peppers at a Tex-Mex restaurant in PJ. The place was called Frontera’s and its where I had my first Agave Experience.
Frontera’s located at JayaOne along Jalan University in Petaling Jaya not too far from University Hospital. Situated at a cozy corner of Jaya One among all the other eateries was quite comfortable for us as we decided to sit outside dining alfresco style. Due to complete randomness and may I say boredom I took the opportunity to organize a small testosterone challenge for a guys to separate the men from the *cough*ladies*cough*. The challenge was to consume Frontera’s infamous Killer Spicy Hanabero Chicken Wings without drinking water in which the first one who do losses. Yes, we behave like little children sometimes. XP
To be perfectly frank, the Killer Spicy Hanabero Chicken Wings was spicy indeed but not as tongue melting as we expected it to be. Maybe being Malaysian consuming heavily spiced and spicy food all this years might had screwed up our taste buds. I personally quite enjoyed the chicken wings but since we were sharing I felt it wasn’t enough. But alas, I have to keep my stomach available for the main course. Sean had the Chili Con Carde and cheese enchiladas, KCLee had the chicken enchiladas, Silencers the chilli cheeseburger, while I had the beef enchiladas beef special cheese chilli beef burritos a regular beef burritos. Almost everything I wanted to order was so good they ran out of it. Fuck my life.
According to Klue Magazine Frontera was voted in having the best Margarita in town and I would have to agree with that judgment. I had the Horny Margarita. It was sweet and refreshing and it doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth like most Margarita. It was so refreshingly good they are the only place apparently that serve in in jugs. Definitely, a hit with the ladies.

Fullhouse is a lifestyle store and cafe located in NiuZeXui, a god forsaken place that is so out of the way its practically deserted somewhere in Ara Damansara. More on that later but first back to Fullhouse. Fullhouse is an interesting concept. Trying to combine lifestyle, fashion and design creativity into a cafe is actually pretty good. On paper that is. Separate the two and you’ll get something vastly different.I do not usually write food review but this is an exception.
The whole concept part is unique and comprising 2 stories of eating and display space it really is nice to see such design and creative works on display. It honestly had a few stuff that I find as very interesting. The pictures show for themselves.
