Malaysian Food & Restaurant Review: August 2008

The August 2008 Most Visited Food Venue (based on Google Analytics pageview), brought to you by Malaysia Most Wanted Food and Restaurants.


One thing is for sure, buffet is the absolute favourite of all Malaysian where the top 3 favourite makan place of Auguest 2008 goes to:
  1. Shogun, Japanese Buffet @ One Utama, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
  2. Saisaki Japanese Buffet @ Wisma UOA II, Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur 
  3. Jogoya @ Starhill, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
I wonder why did Jogoya manage to make a comeback, did the food gotten better and the pricing is more reasonable now?

The classy Sky Bar is standing strong at 4th place, followed by good scenery from Look Out Point. Yuen Buffer is another food bargainers heaven, and of course the mysterious Tupai-Tupai.

New comer Williams Mamak is the Malaysian midnight favourite (as compared to SS2 Murni), and Bumbu Bali never loses its charm since the beginning.

Enough of the old boys, lets see if there is anything new. New faces includes Chef & Brew, Sri Ayutthaya, Nihon Kai and Momo.

Returning new comers include Hajime, Matsuba, Noble House Imbi, Boat House, Delicious Café, Bavarian Bierhaus, Lala Chong and Marco Polo.

We have Blue Dragon and My Elephant coming back to Top 50, pretty affordable and nice place to dine.

Thank you everyone for making MMW Food the No 1 website to find yummy food in Malaysia :) Every recommendation counts. Jiak Jiak Jiak!

Merdeka Eve Party 2008

The almost complete list of places to go on Merdeka Eve, if you like the big crowd, parking problems, perhaps some fireworks, lots of intoxication and stay up until early morning :)
Be sure to check out Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2008 @ Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), Precicnt 5, Putrajaya. The Star Newspaper reported that Merdeka Eve celebration would take place at Dataran Merdeka, KLCC and Bukit Bintang. I am sure all the clubs and pubs would put an extra effort to beef up the celebrations and increase the city's intoxication level over the long weekend.

Check out for more Merdeka Eve Events.

Search for Malaysia Property by Price

Malaysia Most Wanted Property & Real Estates supports Advance Search using various criteria such as project name, price, property type, land tenure, developer and location.

How to search by Price?


Price had a very flexible syntax. For example
  • 200K (or 200000), to search for property in the around the price of RM 200,000 (somewhere between RM 150-250K).
  • 100-200K (or 100 to 200 K), the price range of RM 100,000 – 200,000.
  • >200K (or more than 200K), to search for any properties priced from RM 200,000 and above.
  • <200k (or less than 200K), for any properties priced below RM 200,000.

Simple Search Syntax

The Price criteria could be used as part of the simple search syntax, just type in “price: 200K”. You could add in additional keywords as well, such as “Puchong price:200K”.

Search for Malaysia Property (Advance version)

Like others Malaysia Most Wanted application, we provide 3 ways to search for Malaysia Most Wanted Property & Real Estates.
  • Simple – Just type in any keywords to search for. (similar to Food search)
  • Advance – You could search by different criteria, such as project name, price, property type, land tenure, developer or location. (similar usage to Food advance search)
  • Google – a powerful search engine powered by Google. Just type in any keywords to search for.
Advance Search


This looks more complicated, but it is more powerful in helping you to narrow down on your search results. You could use any of the following criteria (remember to double quote the word for exact match):
  • Search For, where you can type in any keyword you would like to search for
  • Project Name, name of the property development project, like Koi Kinrara, Saujana Residency, etc
  • Price, allowing searching for property by price range using some simple but special syntax. For example, 100K, 100-200K, >100K, <200k>
  • Type, property type such as terrace link, condominium, bungalow, semi detached, shop, etc.
  • Land Tenure, such as Freehold, Leasehold or Malay Reserve Land.
  • Developer, name of the property developer such as Bukit Hitam, Sime UEP and etc. Beware that sometimes big developers like SP Setia or IOI used their sub companies as developers.
  • Location, type in any locations may it be state, area, street or taman.
As usual, we have automatic recommended word list support.

Malaysia Most Popular Property

It is quite hard to determine the quality of new property launches, though the location and developer would prove to be a useful hint.


Sometimes certain property had more buzz in it, may it be the effect of advertising, or the spreading of word of mouth. Though we still can’t tell you which property is a better buy, but you could let you know which property is more popular on a month by month basis (year by year, or all time most popular). In fact, we track how many people view or search for these properties using Google Analytics.

Here are the top 5 most popular property for the month of July 2008
  1. Ken Damansara 3, Condominium @ SS2, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
  2. Taman Impian Putra, Pamelia @ Taman Impian Putra, Bangi, Selangor

  1. Shogun, Japanese Buffet @ One Utama, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
  2. Saisaki Japanese Buffet @ Wisma UOA II, Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur

Look Out Point still stays at a romantic and affordable place to have dinner with a nice KL City night view free of charge. Besides Look Out Point, people could opt for Gasoline or Bread and Olive at the same spot as well (recommended by fat_blob).

Jogoya still stays at 4th place, with the cool and beautiful Sky Bar at 6th, and the cheap and nice Yuen Buffet steamboat stay strong at 7th place. We have Tupai-Tupai for the traditional Malay food, Carl’s Jr for the big and expensive burgers and Malaysian favorite Mamak-styled Williams Mamak.

Advance Search for Malaysia Property & Real Estates

Easy searching had always been the core principal behind all Malaysia Most Wanted design, and the same goes for Malaysia Most Wanted Property.


Introducing Advance Search for Property (muck like for Food), to help you narrow down your search easily to find your dream property. The following are all the fields available to be searched for:
  • Search for, where you could use any keywords (which does not fall into any of the other fields)
  • Project Name, the name of the property project, such as Bandar Bukit Puchong, Space U8, etc
  • Price, to specify your price, such as around 100K, 300-500K, less than 500K, >500K and etc
  • Type, to specify the property type such as Condominium, Terrace Link and etc
  • Developer, to search for certain developer
  • Location, to search by state, area or location

You don’t have to fill in all the criteria or fields; you could start by 1 criteria and narrow the search result down by more criteria later.

Words Recommendation is available to help you select your criteria more effectively. The recommended list will get shorter all you type in more characters. Notice the double quote around each select word(s) from the list, which is more exact matching. For example, Bandar Bukit Puchong without the double quote will find result which match either Bandar OR Bukit OR Puchong (Bandar could return many irrelevant result, such as Bandar Bukit Tinggi). Putting a double quote around “Bandar Bukit Puchong” ensure exact match and better results in this case.

Word Recommendation

Now we had spoiled you with the choice of Simple, Advance and Google Search, as usual :)

Malaysia Food Review: May 2008

The May Food 2008 Most Viewed Food Venue (based on Google Analytics pageview) result for Malaysia Most Wanted FOOD.


Shogun, Japanese Buffet @ One Utama, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor is still holding strong on the no 1 spot. I guess it does have an advantage for being in a popular shopping complex become the talk of the town. Maybe I should give it a try someday and add to the statistic.

Saisaki Japanese Buffet @ Wisma UOA II, Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur had gained the no 2 spot, another Japanese buffer which had been around for quite a while. Malaysia must have been crazy about buffet these days.

Neway Karaoke @ Cheras Plaza, Taman Segar, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur is still at the top 3, and I wonder why. Izzit because of Cheras folks, or izzit about karaoke, it can’t be about the food right?

As usually, we have the same old popular venues like Look Out Point, Jogoya, Sky Bar, Yuen Buffet, Tupai Tupai, Bumbu Bali, SS2 Murni, New Paris and etc.

Some of the noticeable newcomer include Carl’s Jr, which serve very expensive charbroil burger. Matsuba Japanese Restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas is coming up, and Pantai Seafood Restaurant at Kaya Ara is no stranger as well. Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant at Chulan Square seems to be gaining popularity fast, and perhaps it’s worth to check out Big Plate Restaurant at Subang Permai.

Though there are not much changes in the top 10 spot, but the top 50 does introduces many new places worth checking out. Maybe it’s time to switch it to be top 100 instead, the more choices the better?
