Freshwater Rod
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra
Series: Bassfield
Model: BSFS 662 UL
Opponents: Barramundi
F ishing is lots of fun and can be challenging as
one varies ones fishing tackle. Abu Garcias new
Bassfield rod series does just that. It is a forgiving
rod that adds fun to the fishing, something we had
the good fortune of experiencing during out field
testing trip at a barramundi pond in Jugra, Selan-
gor, Malaysia.
13
More On The Rod
The Bassfield is a rod designed by Abu Garcias

Japanese team. It started out as a concept rod for
bass fishing with the idea that anyone from begin-
ner to expert anglers will find this rod suitable and
easy to manage.
It looks elegant in black with silver thread wind-
ings giving it that expensive look. It comes with
contoured high quality EVA grips that are com-
fortable to hold and they are designed in a way
that adds on to the image of the rod.
15
Comfortable To Use
The Bassfield is lightweight and is well balanced

especially when fitted with a reel. Being lightweight,
well balanced, and fitted with contoured EVA grips
makes the Bassfield a comfortable rod to fish with
especially when one will be spending hours casting
with it.
Quality Guides
The Bassfield comes equipped with high quality

Fuji O-ring guides that offers smoother casting,
reduced wear and tear of fishing lines, and they
can handle super lines. Fuji O-ring guides are
also tough and great value for money.
17
Performance
To test its performance we took the Bassfield to a

barramundi pond in Jugra, Selangor. Here we cast
1 inch long soft baits with jigheads doing some ultra
light fishing. With our ultra light Bassfield rod, the
barramundis here were given a fair fighting chance.
Casting
Casting light weight baits with the Bassfield is

easy as it has a softer tip (Ultra Light model). Ac-
curacy of cast is quite good but not spot on, land-
ing the baits near the intended spots. There was
wind too another factor to consider but generally
it did good.
19
Fish Management
When it comes to fighting the fish the Bassfield

was very forgiving. It allows the fish to run until a
certain section before power kicks in. This adds
to the fun factor of the rod especially on ultra light
tackle. The Bassfield certainly is a capable fighter.
Summary
The Abu Garcia Bassfield looks elegant, is com-

fortable to fish with, is light weight, and it performs
well. Casting distances are good even when cast-
ing light 1 inch grubs on jig head. It certainly is
a capable fighter that gives enough room for fun
before turning on the power. Good rod indeed.

Abu Garcia Gambit Wild Jester

Review
T he Abu Garcia Gambit Wild Jester is part of the

economically priced Abu Garcia Gambit series of
rods available in the South East Asian Market. Ive
used it and it has performed well for multiple spe-
cies of fish ranging from snakeheads to tarpons. It is
great for smaller fish yet it is very much capable of
handling and landing larger sized fish.
The Wild Jester is a 2 piece rod and is 63 in length. It is a
medium light rod with moderate fast action, and a pound-
age of 8-17lbs. The Wild Jester is designed for technical
fishing with soft plastics, minnows and topwater lures. Per-
sonally I call it the Peacock Bass rod because the tech-
niques this rod can cover are great for Peacock Bass. The
Wild Jester has a 24 Ton graphite blank, split rear EVA
grips and standard guides.
31
In terms of performance the moderate fast tip
makes it a great rod for technical casts. One of my
favourite things to do with the Wild Jester is to skip
soft plastics. The moderate fast tip aided casts and
skip casts while the backbone excelled in making
hooksets. It is a great rod for soft plastic fishing.
Being the soft plastic addict I am, I used it for soft
plastics 80 percent of the time. I had no trouble
picking up subtle bites with the Wild Jester. Bite
detection was excellent on different types of line
(monofilament & braided line)
Even though soft plastics are extremely fun I still
enjoyed fishing with minnows and topwater lures
with the Wild Jester. This handsome Mayan
Cichlid was taken on the ORCraft Code Minnow
by probing a steep drop off. Letting the minnow
sink and slowly jerking it produced an aggres-
sive strike. A Giant Snakehead also decided to
scoop the minnow but with a loose drag it shot
into thick weeds before I could react.
33
Working topwater lures such as poppers and pen-
cils are also a breeze with the Wild Jester. The
length of 63 was not a problem for making long
casts with lures ranging from 3g-15g.The moderate
fast tip just made the job of working the lures effort-
less and fun.
The Wild Jester feels light in the hand and cast-
ing with it all day is no problem. I didnt have
any issues of fatigued arms after a whole day of
fishing with it. Fighting fish with it was no prob-
lem too as the backbone performed consistently
each time a fish was hooked up.
35
There were a few occasions where I pushed the
Wild Jester way beyond its limit but it has held up
very well for the past one year. It is an economic
rod that functions well for its purpose and it is a rod
that will last long. The Wild Jester is certainly the
rod you need if you are looking for an economically
priced rod that can handle a variety of techniques
and fishes.
Tight lines and happy fishing

Test Drives The Asian Angler
Decoy
Plus Guard
VJ-75
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra
Series: Plus Guard
Model: VJ-75
Opponents: Barramundis
D ecoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead is a softbait an-
glers dream come true especially since it is weed-
less. It comes with a super sharp hook (I actually
got hook accidentally not once, not twice, but three
times) that easily latches on to skin (penetrates
easily), finger nails, plastic spoons, wood, etc.
39
Super Sharp
> These jigheads are really sharp.

Saltwater Torture
First we wanted to see how it will do in saltwater. We

placed one in a container of saltwater for over 24
hours. After over 24 hours we removed the jighead
for inspection and found no rust. We ran it through a
plastic spoon and it caught on confirming that it still
remains sharp.
41
> Still sharp after over 24 hours.
Field Test
To test the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead we took

some lighter action tackle (since the jighead is for
finesse fishing) and headed to some barramundi
ponds. Since these ponds are known to have speci-
mens from about 700 grams to about 2kg, I think the
Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 can handle them.
43
Good Fit
I decided to use my old trusty Abu Garcia Revo

Premier reel with the new Abu Garcia Bass Beat
II rod rated light; for this test. For bait I used my
all time favourite Berkley Powerbait 1 inch grub.
For test I used the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 size
3 weighing 2.5 grams that fits the grub well.
Hook Strength
We hit a lot of fish and the hook penetrated the fishs

lips easily. We lost quite a few fishes too as they man-
aged to throw the hook. Increasing the drag pressure
helped improve the landing rate. We also lost a few
good size fishes due to the hook opening up. We had
to turn the fish away from the water wheel and the
added pressure caused the hook to open.
45
Verdict
The Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead does what it is

designed to do well. It is super sharp penetrating the
fishes lips easily. It is weedless of which is great es-
pecially when fishing for fishes that hideout in weedy
areas. Step past its limits and it opens up of which
is good and bad. Bad because you lose a fish. Good
because it is easy to pull free when snagged. Bend
the hook back in shape and continue fishing.

Introducin The Asian Angler
Abu Garcias New Weapon
A s anglers we consider ourselves sports peo-

ple too. Fishing is after all a sport where men and
women hunt down fish and try to catch them. With
that in mind many an angler prefer their tools to be
sporty, good looking, lightweight, and tough. Fish-
ing tackle brands know that too and have since
include materials and designs that are sporty,
light, and tough into their products such as carbon
graphite, carbon fibres, high grade stainless steel,
etc.
The new Abu Garcia Oceanfield Jigging rod series are
a series of jigging rods designed by Abu Garcias team
in Japan. These rods are made to handle heavier jigs
up to 300g. Built with a powerful backbone they are de-
signed to manage hard fighting brutes.
51
Tough And Powerful
The Oceanfield Jigging gets its power and strenght from

the contruction of its carbon graphite blank and Abu Gar-
cias X Carbon Wrap; a crisscrossed type wrap that further
strengthens the blank giving it added rigidity at essential
areas. This also pushes up its power level giving it more
rebound power, strength, and helps to reduce rod blank
twist for a more consistent flow of power and energy.
High Quality Components
The Oceanfield comes equiped with quality components

from its ergonomically designed grips that uses high qual-
ity EVA to its Fuji reel seats and guides. The Fuji reel seat
holds reels securely in place adding confidence to the
angler during battles.
53
The Fuji New Concept guides used here allows for
smoother line flow, helps dissipate heat well, thus reduc-
ing damage to lines. These guides are also lightweight
compared to normal ceramic guides and they are tough
making them ideal guides for use with superlines.
Weight And Balance
These rods may not be super lightweight but they are

light enough allowing anglers to fish long hours without
fatigue setting in. They are also well balanced with the
weight slightly at the tip area of which balances back-
wards toward the butt end with a reel secured.
55
>Rear grip made of high quality EVA.
Check Them Out
The Abu Garcia Oceanfield Jigging rod series will

be hitting the stores soon. Do stay tuned and check
them out especially if youre in the market for a jig-
ging rod. This is one good rod to consider.

A bu Garcia has a rod that is branded, well it is
an Abu Garcia rod. But the good news is that it
does not cost a bomb. It does not even cost a tiny
bomb. It is certainly pocket safe and may cause
some accidental purchases.
59
Looks Wise
Some big brands tend to undermine the looks

of their lower budget level products giving them
the lower budget looks, but Abu Garcia has
certainly not done that. In fact they made the
new BlackMax look good. It looks sporty and
smart.
How Does It Feel?
The BlackMax rod is one of those rods that you

would pick up, give it a feel, subconsciously price,
and then take a look at the price tag and go;
what the @*#*? I am buying it. While it does
not feel like a high-end rod it certainly does not
feel cheap. It feels like a solid performer; full of
power. It is one of those rods that many will find
an excuse to buy.
61
No Frills Rod
How Abu Garcia made an affordable yet high

performance rod is by using a good core and
shaving the cost off the others. The BlackMax
rod comes with a good 24 ton graphite blank
that has lots of power and good backbone. They
shaved on the components. They use non brand-
ed high quality stainless guides with Titanium
oxide inserts (rings) and graphite reel seats.
This allows one to take ones time should one feel
a need to mod the rod exchanging the compo-
nents for branded ones say by Fuji. With a good
core one has the option to build on it.

>Fish on and the Black Max rod is going into battle.
65
The BlackMax rod is a good caster especially on
weightier baits. We get very good casting dis-
tances. It is when the monsters take the bait the
BlackMax truly shines. It has lots of recoil power
managing every fight really well. It has power to
turn the heads of the monsters we were fighting
without any loss of power; an attribute of a good
strong backbone.
>Fish about to be landed. The Black Max has lots of
power.
67
Verdict
While the Abu Garcia BlackMax may be priced

at the lower end of its range, it certainly feels
like a higher end rod. It fights very well and it
exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a
drop in power after bending past a certain level
but the BlackMax held its head up and fought
on. Very good value for the price.

Ichikawa
B.S.P
Hooks
For Soft Plastic, Swimbaits,
Buzz Frogs, & Soft Jerkbaits
I f you are an angler that fish a lot of soft baits,
swimbaits, etc. do checkout the Ichikawa B.S.P
hooks. These offset designed hooks are great
for these type of fishing. They come with a long-
eyed offset area that reduces tearing of soft
plastic baits.
73
These hooks hold the soft plastic baits in place
when casting holding them is position. With the
hook point hidden within the soft plastic baits, the
baits become weedless. The points are really sharp
too and with PTFE coating, become very effective
with hook ups. PTFE coating makes the surface of
these hooks smoother which provides better pen-
etration.
The B.S.P hooks came about after extensive re-
search and testing. These hooks have been fac-
tory set and aligned with the best amount of gape
giving the soft plastic baits the best position when
secured to the hook, eliminating unnatural move-
ments.
75
The B.S.P hooks also holds fishes well especially
during tough battles reducing the fishes chance of
escaping. Ichikawa B.S.P hooks are made in Japan
using quality steel giving them the needed tough-
ness to handle hard fighting fishes.
Sizes: #3/0, #5/0, #7/0

J-Spike
Hooks
77
I chikawa fishing has a new hook called the J-
Spike hooks that are made for jigging. The J-
Spike hooks are super sharp and they come
with a flattened hook eye as with many types of
jigging hooks.
The Ichikawa J-Spike hooks are coated with TIN
making them ideal hooks for saltwater fishing.
The TIN coated hooks can handle the harsh and
corrosive nature of saltwater making them resis-
tant to rust.
79
The Ichikawa J-Spike hooks are tough hooks made
to manage hard fighting brutes. Being super sharp
they can easily penetrate the fishs lip. It is also
designed to hold the fish securely especially dur-
ing tough battles, reducing any opportunities of es-
caping.
The J-Spike hooks are made in Japan using high
quality wires for all sorts of jigging.
Sizes: #2/0, #3/0, #4/0

K.O.S.H
For
Casting
By Ichikawa Fishing
W ith more lure anglers moving towards the
use of single hooks with their lures in place of
trebles, this here are some new hooks by Ichika-
wa Fishing in Japan called K.O.S.H for casting.
These here are heavy wire single hooks made
for plugging and spooning.
83
Is One Better Than
Three?
Oh come on! how can one be better than three?

Well, this is debatable. Both have their strong
points but there are more anglers that change
their trebles to singles, of course depending too
on the type of fishing. For those who do...
...The K.O.S.H hooks come with a curved sharp
point that allows for easy penetration and good
solid hook-ups. They are made using tough and
strong wire that holds on to fish well especially
during tough battles with hard fighting fishes.
85
TIN Coated
The K.O.S.H hooks are made for both freshwater

and saltwater applications. Being TIN coated they
are made to withstand the harsh qualities of sea
water making them rust proof of which is fantastic
for saltwater lure anglers.
Sizes: #1, #2, #1/0, #2/0, #3/0.

Kamakiri
Treble By
Ichikawa
Fishing
87
H ooks are super important as they are the
connection between the fish and the angler.
One can use the best baits in the world but if
ones hook fails, no fish will be caught. To hook
fish successfully, hooks must be sharp, tough,
and strong enough. Introducing Kamakiri Treble
hooks by Ichikawa Fishing.
Hook Characteristics
The Kamakiri Treble hooks are well designed to

catch all sorts of fish and is great for most types
of fishing. These hooks are well balanced with a
hook eye that is centred making them ideal for use
with lures as the lure action will be maintained.
89
Higher Penetration
Rate
The hook points of the Kamakiri Treble are bent

slightly outwards or away from the shank. These
enhances or rather improves the penetration
rate of the hook of which means that chances of
connecting with the fish just before the strike
is improved.
PTFE Coated
The Kamakiri Trebles are coated with PTFE. Yes,

I asked the same question too. What the heck is
PTFE? PTFE is short for Polytetrafluoroethylene,
a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene.
In layman terms PTFE is a type of Teflon. What
makes it special is that it is so smooth even water
doesnt stick to it. This smoothness makes pen-
etrating the fishs lip more efficient.
91
Holds On To Fish Better
The Kamakiri Trebles come with a bent called

sproat bent design. This design increases the
hooks effectiveness in holding on to the fish re-
ducing the chance of the fish shaking the hook
off and escaping.
Kamakiri Trebles are made in Japan. They are
high quality hooks that are built tough and strong
to manage most types of fishing.
Sizes: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #1/0

Travel & Fish By Sue Farley
Fishing for
Trout in
New Zealand
^ Summer Safari Camp at Poronui.
I f youre planning a trip to New Zealand to fish

for those elusive brown and rainbow trout, youll
want to know a little about where youre head-
ing. Remember that the Down Under summer
is the reverse of the northern hemisphere, with
warm balmy days from October to April in the
north of the country and November to March in
the south. Its also the main fly fishing season.
105
^ Fishing from Poronui.
New Zealand is a beautiful country. Tucked

away in the bottom left corner of the South Pa-
cific, its a long way from anywhere except Aus-
tralia. And even then, its a three hour plane ride
across the Tasman Sea from Sydney to Auck-
land. With two main islands, imaginatively called
the North and South Islands, the country spans
1000 kilometres of latitude, with the resulting
differences of climate and topography that arise
from that.
^ Heli-fishing from Poronui.
The North Island is essentially volcanic, and the

trout-bearing rivers and lakes generally run from
the higher altitudes of the Central Plateau out to-
wards the coast, or into one of the central lakes.
Studded with three beautiful high mountains, Ru-
apehu, Ngaruahoe and Tongariro, and many deep
lakes including Rotorua and Taupo, the Central
North Island is steeped in Maori history and bro-
ken by fast-moving rivers. The Tongariro River is
one of these, a rather challenging river that has
drawn fly-fishermen since the introduction of trout
over 120 years ago.
107
^ South Island river fishing.
The South Island, on the other hand, has been
wrenched from the earth by huge seismic upthrusts
and earthquakes. Its landscape is spectacular,
dropping from the high peaks of the Southern Alps
to the wide coastal plains of the east coast and
the wild ocean beaches of the west coast. You can
stand on a wave-torn, rocky west coast beach and
look inland to high snow-capped mountains, with
several glaciers in between. Once again, clear
rocky rivers tumble down through deep gorges
and across stony valleys, providing countless op-
portunities for excellent wild trout fishing.
Main international gateway cities from Asia are

Auckland, in the North Island, and Christchurch in
the South Island. International flights also arrive
into Wellington from Australia, and Queenstown
in the south, giving access to the fabulous fishing
around Southland and inland Otago. This is also
very handy in ski season. Major roads are good
to drive, although drive times can be deceptively
slow because of the rugged terrain, particularly
in parts of the South Island. Driving is on the left
side of the road.
109
^ Lake Taupo Lodge.
The main trout fishing areas in the North Island

are around Taupo and Rotorua, and further out
towards the East Coast and Hawkes Bay. The
greater Nelson region at the top of the South Is-
land is a key brown trout fishing area, and there
is also excellent fishing further south through
Canterbury, the West Coast, Otago and South-
land. All these places are well-served with top
local fishing guides, and there are beautiful
luxury lodges hidden in remote locations so you
can stay and fish in quiet splendour. Three, four
and five star options provide something for ev-
ery budget.
^ Back country fishing from Lake Taupo Lodge.
The trout fishing season runs from October to

April throughout most of New Zealand, but there
are many areas in the North Island where an
open season runs all year in the lower reaches
of the rivers. This makes places like Taupo and
Rotorua, in the central North Island, particularly
good places to fish in winter.
111
^ Fishing from Tongariro Lodge.
Trout fishing is generally catch and release, and

the clear waters of most New Zealand rivers
make for some of the best sighted river fishing
for brown and rainbow trout in the world. Other
options include lake and spin fishing, raft fishing
on the white water rivers, and heli-fishing in the
remote back country and mountain areas.
^ Blanket Bay Lodge, Lake Wakatipu.
^ Fiordland Lodge, Lake Te Anau.

113
^ Chalet at Minaret Station.
New Zealand is now an incredibly popular place

to fish for trout so youll need to book ahead for
next season to ensure you get good accommo-
dation and guides in the areas you want to visit.

Part 5
The Asian Angler
Introduction To
Bottom Fishing Baits
T here are many baits that can be used for bottom

fishing and in this issue we take a look at live baits.
Live baits are simply baits that are alive. They are
especially good baits for predator fish that prefer
chasing down and hunting for food and /or prey..
Types Of Live Bait
There are many types of live baits that have proven

to catch fish. some of them are shrimps, prawns,
leeches, fish, squid, and worms. All these live baits
have their place in fishing and have caught plenty
of fish in both saltwater and freshwater environ-
ments.
Worms are perhaps one of the most famous baits.
I started fishing using earthworms (first use of live
baits) fishing for tilapia at a pond and we caught
lots of tilapia. Of course they catch all sorts of oth-
er fishes too like certain species of gourami, carp,
as well as saltwater fishes (using bloodworms).
119
Fish
Live fish are perhaps the live bait that I currently

used the most especially when I am on a sailfish
fishing trip. My favourite baits include Indian mack-
erel, bigeye scad, and yellow eye scad. To use them
successfully these baits will have to be healthy and
swimming.
Hook
Hook
Hook
Hook
To ensure that your baitfish stays alive and is swim-

ming, make sure that the hook used is hooked in
places that will not kill the fish. Good places to place
a hook through are at the top near the dorsal fin, at
the tail after the caudal fin, and the nostrils. Ensure
not to injure the lateral line of the fish.
121
Of course baitfish can be used in freshwater too.
Catfish is a good bait for giant snakeheads while
scissor tails are great for catching brown snake-
heads, peacock bass, cichlids, etc. Palm size tila-
pia makes great bait for many types of fishes es-
pecially the Amazone red tail catfish.
Prawns / Shrimps
Prawns are great for bottom feeders that feed on

the seabed. Fishes such as snappers and groupers
take them. They also catch other fishes such as bar-
ramundis, drums, etc. Like fish baits, prawns must
be alive and kicking in the water. Insert hook at the
segment nearest to its telson (tail) avoiding the gut.
Shrimps or small prawns are great bait for fresh-

water species such as feather backs, catfish, goby,
and a host of other fishes. When using live shrimps
follow the same principle that is to avoid the telson.
Of course this goes for bigger shrimps and thinner
hooks.
123
Hook
Hook
Squid
Live squids are great baits for a variety saltwater

fishes such as sailfish. They are hardy baits to use.
As the idea of using live baits is that the baits must
ideally be alive and well. For squid, just insert a hook
at the top part (sharp area) of the mantle. If it is too
long, another hook can be placed at a lower section
of the mantle.
125
Hook
These here are some examples of live baits that are

used for bottom fishing. There are lots more baits
that can be used like lizards, crickets, etc. Anyway,
do give live baits a try on your next fishing trip.

The Kabin
Escape
Completely
Interesting:
A secluded artsy
and nicely styled
abode
^Welcome to The Kabin.
E ver wanted to stay in a hotel or a resort that

is completely out of the norm? Brick and mortar
buildings, as well as wood; have been the norm for
hotels and resorts for many years. Not long ago
we started seeing hotels and resorts being made
of other things such as cargo containers used nor-
mally for shipping. The Kabin in Kuala Selangor is
one such place.
129
Out Of The Norm
^ Looks pretty cool.
Although using containers as rooms for people to

sleep in is nothing new, it is not often that hotels, re-
sorts, or even inns use them. The first one stayed in
was at a place in Perak where I used to go fishing at.
But when it comes to making container hotels look
good and stylish; The Kabin has certainly succeeded.
Good Sense
^ A mural at our Kabin that enhances the looks of the place.
Building hotels and resorts is not a cheap endeav-

our, but using refurbished shipping containers cer-
tainly brings the cost down. There is more. It make
sense too. Think about the environment. What hap-
pens to old shipping containers? They get discard-
ed, left to rot somewhere not seen by many. What
a waste.
131
^ The containers do have windows. Round windows like
those on ships.
Refurbishing and repurposing them is one way that

is both good for business and for the environment.
The Kabin has done just so creating a lovely, artsy,
looking abode for travellers who want to experience
a different type of accommodation.
Looks Good
The Kabin does look good. While shipping contain-

ers may not look all that big on the outside, I was
surprised to see that our container or Kabin actu-
ally fitted four persons quite comfortably. Yes, the
walking spaces may be a little small but overall it
is comfortable. We had four single beds, shelves,
drawers, etc. Oh yes, there is also a built-in toilet.
133
^ Our container sleeps four.
A Mixture Pool
Swimming
Antique furnitures.
The Kabin does have a swimming pool. Wait, two

pools of which are lovely places to relax especially
when the sun is hot. There is a wading pool for kids
and a large pool for adults. It may not be an Olym-
pic size pool but is certainly is big enough to do a
few good laps.
135
Cafe
Worried about what to eat? worry not. The Kabin does
have its own cafe where one can have sandwiches,
ice cream, cold drinks, coffee and tea, etc. They can
also do barbeque with advanced notice. There are
places to eat nearby should one not feel like dining at
the resort.
Other Facilities
For those who like to sing The Kabin does have a ka-
raoke room that will allow singers & singers to exer-
cise their vocal muscles. There are also meeting and
function rooms, bicycles for rent, games room, and
stand up paddling boards and kayaks.
Book A Stay?
Should you be fishing off Kuala Selangor or visiting the

attractions around the area such as Malawati Hill (his-
torical fort), fire fly watching, eagle watching, photogra-
phy, a visit to Sky Mirror, etc. The Kabin certainly is a
place to consider staying at. Oh, for anglers, there is a
beach that is walking distance from The Kabin.
One thing to note though is that the container rooms
(being made of metal) get really hot in the afternoon.
They take a long time to cool down even with the air-
conditioning running full blast.

The
Verandah
Restaurant
@Cyberview
Resort &
Spa
Interesting:
An adventure of
the taste buds.
^ The Verandah Restaurant
H uman beings are creatures of habit. We tend

to eat at the few places that we like eating at and
before you know it, youre there almost every day.
I have a few eating places that I go to on a rotation
basis but then again it is habitual for me to do so.
Sometimes it is good to break out of that loop and
go dine somewhere else. We decided to go to the
Cyberview Resort And Spa.
141
A Preview Of Whats
To Come
At the Cyberview Resort And Spa we attended a dinner,

not just any dinner but a preview dinner of what would
be served during the month of Ramadan for iftar. As we
made our way towards the restaurant I could smell sa-
tay and meat being barbequed. That kicked started my
digestive system and it wasnt long before a gear shift
took place seeing me speeding towards the buffet.
A Dizzying Array
^ Lots of stalls here with more inside the restaurant.
Seeing the array of food being offered, I immediately

noticed one issue. There are lots of food but I only have
one stomach with limited capacity. You see, Chef Imran
and his team prepared 222 food items for the dinner (of
which will also be offered during the month of Rama-
dan). That is a lot of food to savour.
143
Food Adventure
I started my food journey with sushi before making my

way to the various curries, and then took a break right
after satay. The food was delicious. I wanted to go for a
second round of gulai kawah but decided to hold back
(it took a lot of will power) as there are more to savour.
^ Just look at all these delicious curry dishes...
145
^ Yummy grilled lamb.
After the short break I headed for the barbeque and filled
up on charcoal grilled lamb and prawns. Whilst eating
my delightful pieces of lamb a friend brought some ice-
cream over and pointed out that this is a must try. My
brains short circuited. Before finishing my main course,
I attacked the ice-cream counter. Who wouldnt when
the ice-cream is rendang chicken flavoured.
Rendang Chicken Ice-Cream
^ Rendang chicken ice-cream on the right. See the bits of

chilli and chicken?
Yes, you read this right. At first I too thought that I heard
it wrong. I asked again what the flavour was and again
I was told rendang chicken ice-cream. This ice-cream
is a little spicy with tiny bits of chicken meat marinated
with rendang, in it. The first scoop was the getting used
to while the second scoop was where I enjoyed it.
147
More Main Courses
^ Indian cuisine.
I was already somewhat full by now but I just had to go

on one more round of food adventuring. I wanted to go
for more satay but then I saw fried kuay teow (a broader
flat type of rice noodles). I weighed my options since I
need room for dessert; and fried kuay teow won the bid.
^ The simple but very delicious fried kuay teow.
The fried kuay teow tasted really good. It was cooked

just nice. Not too salty but really tasty. A bit spicy but not
too much. what I love about fried kuay teow is the cock-
les. Without them no fried kuay teow is worth eating. I
enjoyed every strand of it despite feeling full.
149
Using My Spare Tank
^ The very lovely tiramisu cake.
With so many delightful desserts tempting my sweet

tooth I had no choice but to go on. I enjoyed lovely du-
rian rolls (durian is my favourite fruit) which was really
good. I enjoyed various palm dates (I love dates) . I had
a few slices of cakes and tarts too. I love the strawberry
tarts, crme Brulee, but the one I liked best is the blue-
berry cheese cake... or is it the tiramisu cake... both.
^ Very yummy blueberry cheese cake.
151
^ If you enjoy strawberries, you will love these tarts.
^ Five varieties of palm dates. Oooh... lovely.
153
^ My kiddo went gaga over these cupcakes.
^ Lollies for the kids.
155
So Much More
^ Ahhh.... chocolate fountain.
There are so much more food that I have not tried. Well,
every stomach has a limit. I had to stop or risk humili-
ation being wheeled out in a wheelbarrow. It is impos-
sible to lose weight with such delicious meals on offer. I
am certain that I have gained a few kilos after this meal
but it was all worth it. When time comes Ill hit the gym.
Information
All these sumptuous delights will be available again
during the month of Ramadan. So, do book your-
self a table now.
