Packing List
In conjunction with the Chinese New Year this year, my company declared holidays for 1 week starting from last Friday. Before we left for our CNY holidays, we had a company CNY lunch at Tenji, a new Japanese buffet restaurant in SOHO, Solaris Mount’ Kiara. For a fix price of RM48++, you can eat-all-you-can all sorts of Japanese cuisine in Tenji. Since Chinese New Year is only 1 day away, Travel Feeder wish to greet ‘Gong Xi Fatt Cai’ or Happy Prosperous to all of you and share some photos taken around and inside Tenji Japanese Buffet restaurant for whoever interested…. 
Tenji Japanese Buffet restaurant is located in the heart of SOHO district in Solaris Mount Kiara, developed by the pioneer of the township, Sunrise Berhad.
Main Entrance of the restaurant featuring timber plank wall decoration and roofing boost some Japanese mood. Reception as seen through the main entrance is grand and distinctive.
On the way to the main dining hall, or while you are waiting for someone late, you may want to visit its contemporary designed powder room.
Dining hall seating area is divided into 2 sections, external smoking and internal non-smoking. External seating has an additional panoramic view over Segambut area and Duta highway.
The main dining hall. ‘Wow’ is what I said in my mind. It is very well separated into different sections of Japanese dining, from appetisers, sushi, Teppanyaki, Chinese main course, western-Japanese fusion to deserts.
All counters bulk head are decorated with a purple bamboo drawing.
Sushi counter is my favourite. I had most of the varieties on offer.
Edamame, abalone slices and salad crab as shown above also had my plate full.
Patron can also order these special dish by dropping your table number clip into a bowl beside the displayed food.
Red Hot Chili Pepper? ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’? Cold and hot! They are placed next to each other….
Oriental and Chinese food lovers will find these delicious prawn fried rice, fried prawns, baked crab, cooked vegetable a true delicacy.
Table setting is simple but well equipped, spoon and folk, chopstick, serviette, glass, food heater….
Dining tables are right next to the counters. My seat number is Number 3. On my left is the sushi counter and western delicacies are on my right.
Chefs in the Japanese styled open kitchen who have done a good job in preparing non-stop foods for the afternoon 5-hours session. Well done mate!

Last but not least. The hottest seller of the day was inevitably the Japanese aromatic coconut drink!!Each one of us had at least two of them! On top of that, the hottest counter was Haagen Dazs ice cream counter!
Overall, the Japanese buffet was good with full varieties of cuisine and great dining atmosphere. Especially during the promotional period, Tenji Japanese Buffet restaurant is ‘the’ place to dine and experience. At 3:30pm, we bid farewell while greeting Happy Chinese New Year to each other…. 1 day to go… Please support me by subscribing to travel Feeder RSS feeds… – Travel Feeder.

Hooray! ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Yeeeeaaar’ …. Once again I wish all readers Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2009! This year I had a wonderful Christmas, not the BBQ turkey we had, not the 5 bottles of red wines we had (a mixture of French, Chilean and Australian, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot… Yucks! 
), not even those Dannemann Moods cigars, BUT the Christmas present that I bought for myself, a Nikon D60 DSLR! Though I bought it a week ago and took a few shots, I purposely packed it back and unpacked it on the Boxing Day! What a feeling!!
As I mentioned earlier, I’m already a happy owner of Panasonic Lumix FZ28. I brought it along as my travel camera on my Shanghai vacation and have captured some beautiful photos of my trip. It is no doubt a perfect camera for travel (Read my Top 5 ‘Wow’ Factors about FZ28 here). So, what is the motivation for me to buy another camera for travel, albeit it is bigger, heavier than Panasonic with the same amount of pixels but more expensive? Here are the top 5:-
- My children are growing up and they are extremely active and energetic - Babies look different every day. Though my son, Dylan is 15 months old now, I love to capture those special moments of him when he runs, plays and laughs. More to say, I couldn’t expect him to pose for me standstill. I need to react fast and so do I need a faster camera. My Panasonic Lumix, being the nature and characteristics of a compact camera with a small light sensor, doesn’t serve very well in this department;
- I love potraits and my 2 children – Potraits are always my favorite section of photography. When I realised DSLR could capture sharper and better defined face of my children, it has become my biggest motivation to get a DSLR;
- My best friend ‘motivated’ me a lot - He owns 2 Nikons, D60 and D90, and plenty of lenses. I could always borrow his 18-270mm zoom lense if I need to. I’ve been poisoned by this devil a lot. ;
- To be a motivation to travel even more! – Naturally, when you buy a new camera, you would think of whatever reasons to visit more places than before and the same ‘chicken and egg’ philosophy applies. Either travelling a lot so motivated to get a camera or, got a new camera so motivated to travel, are the same to me, and
- The price of DSLR has dropped tremendously – They have a price tag similarly to an advanced compact, like Canon G10. Nikon D40 is selling even cheaper than some compacts! Recent price drop of Nikon D60 to RM1800.00 has motivated me to getting it fast, before it’s being replaced and repriced.
With the above strong motivation pushing behind me, though it was only less than 3 months after I bought the Panasonic FZ28, I decided to buy a second camera for my travel. With the priority of taking fast action children movement and nice potrait, I chose DSLR. With my past experience of owning both Nikon and Canon film SLR, I chose Nikon. For its lightest weight among other DSLR in the market (better to my shoulder during vacation travel), I chose D60. With the recent economic down turn, I chose to pay by credit card… – Travel Feeder.

Hooray! Finally! 1 day to go before my family and I going on board for our vacation travel to Shanghai! Though it will definitely be a rushing tour since we joined the destination-packed travel package, there is still something that I’m looking forward to: beautiful sceneries for my photo album! During this 8D7N tour, I would [...]

Since I bought it 2 weeks ago, I have been practising and exploring all the features of this Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 compact camera with no reservation. Until this morning, I have shot a total of 1100 photos which I think is quite enough to understand, if not fully, the characteristics of my new toy. I did [...]
Come on friend, don’t scratch your head no more! I know many of us hope to have so many things to include in our list when we are packing our luggage before travelling especially to other countries. There are always more items in our packing list than the luggage space available. When the luggage is full, we just [...]
