Delicious!
The Grilled chicken was tender and favoriteful, the mushroom soup was thick and yummy! The Grilled Sirloin was Succulent and Tasty! The gravy were special and just nice for the taste! We really like the foods very much especially dine in the nice environment!

The Damage of the night : RM97.00 included 2 glass of plain water (cos we decided to have some beer on the next door - Lazio Bar). That was reasonable price in this restaurant especially with the Delicious foods!

We strolled along the coastal after the overload dinner! Haha! After 30 minutes of slow walk, we enjoy & relax ourself in the Lazio Bar with the entertainment by the old couple singing...I like their voice very much!

It might be a good restaurant for the Valentine's Canddle Light Dinner tomorrow (14-2-2012), do try out the foods and relax yourself in the Lazio Restaurant and Cafe at Danga Bay, Johor Bahru.

Bon Odori 2011 beside Plaza Angsana, Tampoi - Johor Bahru.

"Bon Odori, meaning simply Bon dance is a style of dancing performed during Obon. Originally a Nenbutsu folk dance to welcome the spirits of the dead, the style of celebration varies in many aspects from region to region. Each region has a local dance, as well as different music. The music can be songs specifically pertinent to the spiritual message of Obon, or local min'yo folk songs. Consequently, the Bon dance will look and sound different from region to region. Hokkaidō is known for a folk-song known as "Soran Bushi." The song "Tokyo Ondo" takes its namesake from the capital of Japan. "Gujo Odori" in Gujō, Gifu prefecture is famous for all night dancing. "Gōshū Ondo" is a folk song from Shiga prefecture. Residents of the Kansai area will recognize the famous "Kawachi ondo." Tokushima in Shikoku is very famous for its "Awa Odori," or "fool's dance," and in the far south, one can hear the "Ohara Bushi" of Kagoshima." For more info, please read here.

Last year, the Bon Odori 2011 was held at the parking area beside Plaza Angsana, Tampoi - Johor Bahru. It was really corwded when we were there on the evening...

This is a yearly event and it was flooded with Japanese foods and games. My daughter like the knocking game very much! Haha!

We decided to have our dinner in the event, and too many food booths around that really make us confuse! Finally, we chose the Kinsahi booth just because of they had full of variety...
