Nineteen81 Rumah Rehat Tapah.

We went back to my wife's kampung in Tapah, Perak on the First day of the CNY festival.

The hot and humid weather with a popped up temperature of around 38 c was a big no-no for all of us.

Besides going for an occasional dip in the cool and surprisingly clean Tapah river.........

....firing firecracker...

.... and a spot of gambling like Blackjack

We have some cooling off tea-time snack at the air conditioned Nineteen81 Rumah Rehat Tapah that comes with free WiFi.

Cucur Udang at Rm3.50 was a steal with a generously sized shrimp, a crisp crust and lovely soft deep fried dough inside-better than Nyonya Colors.

Heart shaped Chicken nuggets was a good snack-Rm4.50/.

Banana Split was the right tonic for the hot weather-Rm5.50/.

Their signature Rest House Tower ice cream-Rm7.50/.

and iced COOOOOoooooL drinks like lemon juice, hazel nut, syrup Bandung and lemon tea to quench our thirst..

A group photo of my young followers-thanks to them for their artistic contribution, inspiration, photo shoots and eating out together.

ROYAL SELANGOR CLUB KIARA SPORT ANNEXE

The Royal Selangor Club Kiara sport annexe is a branch of the Royal Selangor Club in Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur.It's also known as "The Spotted Dog". It was a social club founded by the British in 1884 and that's makes it 124 years old! Here in Kiara they have a field for all types of sporting activities and a swimming pool too.Both my parent are life member of the club and we dine here at least once a month. The food at the Dataran in Kuala Lumpur during the hey days was good and i remembered watching men in white playing and running around with a bat and ball which i learned later to be cricket. At that time i was about 13 years old. We usually go there for lunch on weekends, it was fun hearing the clock chimed every hour. Now at Kiara the food is not so consistent because they keep on changing the caterer. But the ambience, quietness and spaciousness, make up for the short comings. As you know club's food offering are only commendable. They have a la carte meal, Western, local, Japanese and even pizza too.
Tonight the five of us ordered:

The grand entrance with Mock Tudor styling.

Night view from the car park-the palm trees are real ones!

Lobby area-where you can browse, sit or do your things.

Menu with crimson red cover

Paper towel

Spacious dining area-air conditioned inside and alfresco dining outside.

Pizza Mama Mia- better than a lot of other pizza-rm12/

Minced chicken, mushroom, chillies - not too cheesy but very crispy.

Fettuccine alla carbonara-with bits of beef, sliced mushroom and black pepper-topped with egg and cheese sauce - too peppery-rm14/

Spaghetti alla carbonara-with the above mentioned ingredients- mediocre-rm14/

Grilled ikan kurau-with french fries, tartar sauce and coleslaw-big chunk, well seared and have quite a number of big bones-fresh and caramelized on the surface.-rm18/

Carrot juice-rm3/

Watermelon juice-rm3/

Iced lemon tea-rm2/
