Last Sunday we are there.
Don't know why suddenly the boss set limit to each table. Max 3 crabs per table. We have 9 adults, 3 crabs how to share. We split table for 6 crabs also cannot. End up 4 crabs only. Really disappointed.
Next time go in small group.
Previously I'm there, 2 person, we order 2 small crabs. Very good that why bring family members there.

Sorry to hear that.

I have not heard of such thing at Tian Lai…

They are usually very service oriented.

Probably crabs supply has been dwindling or clients have been “swelling”…

Had some 🦀 better no 🦀 …

Next time can consider move to gelang patah Chua Kee…

They are good at crabs too…

More than 10 years ago, we once saw a table of young men eating so many plates of crabs… they were literally eating crabs only…

Vamos Coffee Roastery, Taman Melodies

Originally wanted to revisit the spendier Nimmies, but the holiday brunch queue was terrible, eager folks decked with umbrellas under the light drizzle outside the door. Obviously they must be doing something right. Skip.

A short saunter led us to Vamos Coffee Roastery.

As usual, limited road-side parking, exacerbated by a public holiday.



Classic Chocolate RM12 - Saccharine sweet, ur neighborhood GP will be disappointing.
Dirty Matcha Latte RM16 - Didn try, waifu ordered.
Gula Melaka Latte RM14 - Oomph of the gula melaka largely appreciated towards the tail of the drink. Should have tried their Nitro Coffee instead.

Seafood Stew with Toast RM35. Mild Spicy

Spicy Seafood Aglio Olio RM28. Spicy
Me and waifu ordered separately, not realizing that both mains share a similar bedrock of ingredients.

Classic Grill Ham & Cheese RM25

Plus sized order, my girl holding a half lacerated sandwich.

Crispy Buffalo Wings RM25

A slab of honeycomb ( Apis Mellifera ) takes centre stage at their coffee and pastry counter, offering variety of ice cream, chai, drinks supercharged by this Italian honey.

Back then I couldn't find it in the supermarkets there, and didn't know SS had it here :s13: It's a promoter in one of their supermarkets who suggested I check the specialty shops, so that's how I landed there. :grin:
