Yu Ai Seafood Noodle at Segambut, Kuala Lumpur

Once we check-in to the hotel, the first thing came to our mind was looking for our lunch!

I was clueless at that moment, just noticed there was a recommended restaurant from the Malfreemaps...it stated "Yu Ai Seafood Noodle (*)" which is has the '*' sign on it, which is less than 1.5km from the hotel...

Yu Ai Restaurant (N3°11.051' E101°40.561')

The Yu Ai Restaurant is located at Jalan Segambut Utara, same roll with RHB Bank Segambut.
The first impression I had...seems like not many customer around and quite. But after I drove pass behind the shop, realise that most of the customers love to sit under the tree at the parking area at the back of the shop! That's make us decided to try it!

I was shocked when I look at the prices initially...That was MYR15.00 each and MYR18.00 for big size! Wah! But...we still placed our order since we already here...

I took the Curry Laksa, my wife ordered the Tomyam type and my mother in-law had the normal soup...

Tomyam type

Curry Laksa type

The Seafood Noodle was Marvelous!! It was FULL of seafood and Tasty! Really 'justify' for the cost they charge! I wish there will be a branches at Johor Bahru, haha!
We were not regret for what we paid for. Satisfied!

The Damages was about MYR50.00 included drinks for 3 person.
Rated : 4.8/5
Worth try if you happen at Segambut area!

Bestotel (Best Hotel) at Kuala Lumpur.

Bestotel (Best Hotel) (N3°10.668' E101°41.173') is located at Jalan Ipoh (town center) of Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at this hotel in one of our recent trip (Sep 2009) to Kuala Lumpur. It's convenience because it's nearby the PWTC and The Mall Shopping Complex.

The outlook is a bit run down if you compare with others hotel around Kuala Lumpur town area. But that's ok for me. We check in around 2pm and it seems like no proper parking area for vehicles. I just parked in front of the main entrance, and became really convenience for us too!

The Reception of the Hotel

We got a room for One Queen bed & One single bed for MYR103.00 per day. I felt it's cheap & reasonable especially it's located in the town area. The standard room only cost MYR83.00 for a day! The rates I mention above it's inclusive of a simple breakfast too!

The restaurant area where we took our breakfast.

The room was clean and tidy, equipped with one 14' colour TV, air-con, hot & cold shower and electric kettle. I'm satisfied with the service and also the hotel environment, it's value for money if you are looking to few nights simple stay.... They don't have the luxuries like 3 star hotel provided.

The Old shops opposite the hotel

I will recommend this hotel to my friends (with family) who just need a stay around KL town area!

The clean environment of the Cafe

Mr Kumar (the boss) will take care the cafe, and preparing the drinks for customer. He made a very good Mango Lassi!
"In various parts of Pakistan/India, mango lassi is a cold drink consisting of sweetened kesar mango pulp mixed with yoghurt, cream, or ice cream. It is served in a tall glass with a straw, often with ground pistachio nuts sprinkled on top. Mango lassi is most commonly found in Pakistan/India. It is widely available in UK, Malaysia and Singapore, due to the sizable Pakistani/Indian minority, and in many other parts of the world." Source from Wiki.

I missed the Lassi but ordered a Teh Tarik and it's equally good!

I did recommend to some of my friends to dine in this cafe, one of them was also a owner of a Thai Restaurant before, he commented the Lamb Chop was Perfect!
