Booze @ First Beach Cafe - Tanjung Aru

One of our favourite places to catch the famous KK sunset is at First Beach Cafe. Since its fairly recent refurbishment they've upped the availability of draught and bottled beer. We stuck to an old favourite of Skol to while away the hours. On friday evenings you can also catch the Fantabulous Lola doing 'her' thing!

Stunning views.

First Beach Cafe is located at ........ that's right, you guessed it!

The Bill : 3x Skol Bottle Set = 102 MYR

Beautiful sunsets, ice cold beer and the Fantabulous Lola - Fridays @ First Beach Cafe.

Hawker Food & Drink @ Tanjung Aru Hawker Centre - First Beach

The food at Tanjung Aru Hawker Centre can be a bit hit 'n' miss, luckily for me, today was more of a hit! I ordered mamak mee from Lot No. 5, though I'm sure it appeared from somewhere else?!? Fried yellow noodles in a very slightly spiced sauce with chicken, tomatoes, green veg, egg and peppers.

Ice blended milo from Lot No. 6, ice cold and delicious, sprinkled with extra milo. You really can't go wrong with drinks from this stall!

 

Tangung Aru Hawker Center is located at First Beach.

Beach side view with Waikiki Condo in the background.

 

Lot No. 5 & 6, possibly where I bought my food from, definitely where my drink came from!

 

The Bill : 1x Mamak Mee, 1x Ice Blended Milo = 9 MYR

A good day at the hawkers!

Penang Kuih Teow @ Lot No.11 Penang Seafood - Tanjung Aru Hawker Centre

The hawker food at First Beach is a bit hit 'n' miss in my opinion. With its great location it should really be one of the best food centres in KK, sadly it doesn't live up to my expectations. Lot No.11 Penang Seafood is a fairly safe bet for a plate of decent fried noodles. Penang Kuih Teow comes with sliced fish cake, prawns and squid along with thick, flat, kuih teow noodles, egg and beansprouts. It tasted ok and was pepped up with some fiery chilli sauce.

You can't miss the Hawker Centre at First Beach, Tanjung Aru, it's large and lively!

 

The Bill : 1x Penang Kuih Teow, 1x Kitchai Ping = 8.50 MYR

Hawker food day & night @ First Beach!

Drinks @ Aruba - First Beach

Aruba @ First Beach is a great place to chill out on a hot sunny day, catch a beautiful KK sunset in the early evening or even hang out until the wee hours for that matter! It's an all-rounder! Today we thought we'd just have a couple of cooling drinks and enjoy the view. Vanilla Milkshakes took our fancy, so that was the order of the day! Whipped cream topped milkshakes with a cherry on top, what could be better? Well....maybe an ice cold beer!!! Haha.

Lots of food and drink on offer.

There's been lots of development down at First beach lately, First Beach Cafe is currently undergoing what seems to be a major refurbishment. I wonder what it will be???

With views like these and such an incredible beach I hope KK authorities see sense and keep the beach clean. Maybe go one step further and redirect the drains that run into the sea. How fantastic to be a city with a beautiful clean beach! What a draw this would be for beach loving tourists! Of course we can all do our bit and use the rubbish bins around the place, corn-cobs and plastic bags have no place on the beach or in the sea!!!

The Bill : 2x Vanilla Milkshake = 23.20 MYR

I love it down @ Aruba and First Beach!

Lets pull in the crowds and have even better drinks promotions to tempt the Waterfront loyal!!!

Booze @ First Beach Cafe - Tanjung Aru

Well what can be said about booze? Not too much really I guess! I can tell you one thing though, it's quite an expensive hobby! So I like to find a bargain if I can or drink at a local Kedai Kopi.

First Beach Cafe is one place I like to come for a sunset drink. They also have a very long Happy Hour! Though the price has increased recently it's still cheaper than anywhere on the Waterfront. (Price subject to ++).

First Beach Cafe is located in Tanjung Aru at First Beach funnily enough!

An added bonus of course is sometimes there's an absolutely priceless sunset! We love KK lah!

The Bill : 2x Skol Set, 1x Mineral Water = 74.24 MYR

With another bar opened up along side First Beach Cafe and a Sugarbuns outlet recently opened, it should get quite lively down at the beach.

Mee Goreng Singapore @ Lot No.10 - Tanjung Aru Hawker Centre

Mee Goreng Singapore is a spicy, fried, mixed seafood, noodle dish. The flavour was curry like with prawns, squid, fish cake slice, fish ball slice and some green veggie. It tasted ok, nothing to get too exited about really.

The Little Nibbler opted for Nasi Goreng USA. We tried relating this concoction to America but drew a blank! Fried rice was served with beef in a spicy tomato sauce with red chilli, topped with a fried egg. Again taste wise it was ok.

The Satay was a little disappointing, quite tough and really dry. Peanut sauce was good though, my advice would be to choose your own satay and not just order from the food vendor. Satay Street as I like to call it is located along the far side of the hawker centre.

Tanjung Aru Hawker Centre is located at First Beach just opposite Waikiki Condo, opens every evening with a few of the stalls open during the day.

Not quite sure of the protocol at this hawker centre as we ordered our food from a menu that had No.11 Penang Seafood on it but our  food came from No.10. One of lifes little mysteries!

The Bill : 1x Mee Goreng Singapore, 1x Nasi Goreng USA, 10x  Sate sticks = 17 MYR

I have to say that from my experience the overall standard of food at this hawker centre isn't great. Which I don't really understand as the quality of food around KK is normally quite high! Maybe I'm just ordering the wrong dish from the wrong stall, if anyone has any favourites and can point me in the right direction, let me know.
