Even though my place is pretty near to Cyberjaya, I have yet to fully explore the place and its offering. I will only visit Cyberjaya to have my fave massage session @ Sembunyi Spa, Cyberview Resort and Spa.
Last weekend, I went to Dpulze Shopping Centre for a reunion with fellow blogger friends. Apparently, Dpulze Shopping Centre is huge and is kinda a melting pot of international food flavour as Cyberjaya has become commonplace for international professional employees and students to gather.  And we have chosen to have the reunion at the unique Restoran Mangkuk Ayam Malaysia there.  I have always been intrigued and looking forward to visiting here as I have always been fascinated with chicken patterned dishes - just like the ones that my late grandmother love to collect. 
Located in Basement 1 and just beside the escalator, it was easy to find the restaurant.  We ordered the food. I am amazed that the food is fairly priced and quite affordable. 'Well, let's see the size before I make any more conclusion', I thought to myself.
When the first order rolled in, I was shocked that the dishes are huge and the portion is equally large. And being the marvellous food-eater that we all are, we all ordered a single dish for each person and when all the orders were delivered, it occupied 5 tables! 
'How are we going to finish all these?' that was the thought that went through my mind when I saw the feast that we have ordered.
And here are some of the delicious desserts that we had. 
Being a dessert lover, I was in heaven when I saw the size and later, the amazing taste of them all.

Yes, we also have to share some bowls too as the desserts were also huge.
 Now I know where to bring my international friends for a taste of Malaysian flavours in Cyberjaya.
Just head on here and be pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness and the huge portion of food here.
Food:  The choice is pretty amazing and has almost all the flavours of Malaysia (missing are flavours from Sarawak and Sabah). Your international friends would love to eat here as it was not too spicy.

Price: The price is reasonable and affordable. The huge portion of the food complements the price.

Restaurant Arrangement & Decoration: I love the whole decoration using patterned dishes on the walls. The space is not too small but not advisable for a huge gathering.

Accessibility: Very easy to find as it is situated just beside the escalator.

Is there any Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) gamers here?

It is not a new game to the world of esports with over 500 million installs and 60 million monthly active users globally so no wonder that MLBB is in the top 10 grossing ranks. I am among the ones that contribute to the statistics.

Developed by Moonton, the game is enlisted for a medal event at 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games scheduled for this November in the Philippines. In February, a collaboration with popular French football team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was announced in which PSG unveiled its Mobile Legends team, PSG.RRQ.

Malaysia is among several countries to be simultaneously launching the month-long 515 Unite Day campaign. Moonton Regional Marketing Manager for Southeast Asia, Nelson Woon said, the campaign will serve to unite gamers and non-gamers to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game. "We are looking to gain new entries into the game and within the campaign, new game modes will be released as we strive to defeat an upcoming darkness."

Psst. Here are some teasers for the campaign. 

This year's campaign will consist of three phases while bearing the trend #515Unite and #MLBB. The first phase will involve piquing the curiosity of the public through various methods before Cosplayers are roped in on LED lit-trucks that will drive around the country in the second phase. The culmination and third phase will be from May 15 onwards where an 'in-game' the event will be held. This will feature all the MLBB heroes reuniting to save the world.

Among the teasers that one can expect are trailers screened in cinemas and outdoor or out-of-home (OOH) media, a 515 Unite theme song and a dance contest, giveaways consisting of figurines and merchandise, limited edition 515 Unite Touch 'N Go cards as well as free pizzas and thematic pizza offers by Domino's Pizza Malaysia.

Woon noted Malaysia's keenness in becoming an esports hub and this is boosted by the nation's five million active players on MLBB alone. "Esports is growing in Malaysia and following a discussion with the Youth and Sports Ministry, we acknowledge that the government is highly supportive of esports and is going to introduce the Esports Blueprint that will benefit Malaysia in terms of economy.”

"Even the Olympic Council Asia has realised that the global viewership and content value for esports has overtaken traditional sports, and what follows next will be the revenue (i.e. sponsorships, content and media rights, ticketing and merchandise). That is why we have esports as a medal event on par with traditional sports for Asian Games last year (2018) and SEA Games this year (2019)," Woon added.

Confident that in a span of a single year there would be more of an esports audience, rather than those watching typical sporting events, Woon cited PSG's partnership and the launch of ONE Esports by Singapore-based martial arts organisation ONE Championships as examples of eSports booming.

The 515 Unite campaign will kick off in Penang's Gurney Paragon Mall on April 21 before heading further north to Alor Setar on April 27, at the Menara Alor Setar-Aman Central. Ipoh hosts the third stop on May 1 at AEON Station 18 and then the campaign makes its way to Sunway Pyramid in Selangor on May 4. Domino's Pizza in Bandar Baru Uda, Johor Baru will host the second last stop on May 11 and on May 18, the 515 Unite Day campaign comes to a close at Fahrenheit 88, Kuala Lumpur.

Besides that, Domino’s Pizza Malaysia will be releasing the 515 Pizza Offer during the 515 Unite campaign period at all 238 stores nationwide with exciting contests and rewards.

My friends and I love to have our reunion during Ramadhan - hence the concept of Iftar Sesama has been the theme for our breaking fast sessions for so many years. And when Bangi Golf Resort (BGR) introduces its theme for the year as Iftar Sesama, it immediately brings me back to the sweet memories during the gatherings. 
As this is my very first year reviewing the ramadhan buffet of BGR, I am pleased to hear that BGR has its own farm from which the fresh ingredients are from. The concept of "Farm in the City" guarantees fresh ingredients for all the dishes.  Here are some of the main attractions @ Iftar Sesama Bangi Golf Resort

• Sous Vide Eggs with Espuma mushrooms *Ini wajib dirasa*
• Nasi Kerabu with ulam-ulaman (fresh from farm)
• Laksa Singapura
• Kambing Bakar
• Sup Kambing Mamak
• Satay Ayam & Daging
• Ayam Varuval
• Kari Ikan Tenggiri
• Churros
• Tiramisu Cakes
• Pulut kuning
• Blueberry Creme Brulee Cake
• Orea Cheese Cake

1) Sharing of pahala BGR will be contributing 1% of the total profits throughout the month of Ramadhan to Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) as this contribution will be used to assisting the humanitarian works of IRM.
2) Feast accordingly with zero wastage BGR, in collaboration with Food Aid Foundation, will be saving the leftovers and distributing them to the needy to ensure there will be zero wastage. It was reported in 2018, we Malaysians wasted almost 4,000 metric tans of food daily. So, with this collaboration, more food will be saved and many people will be able to have their daily meals. 
For those who wish to contribute to needy ones, BGR in collaboration with F8Buzz.com is organizing Kotak Sumbangan Iftar Sesama where the public could contribute food and clothing items for the needy ones. 
3) Worth Your RM In the current world economic situation, every single cent spent have to be worthy of its cause. So, I would say RM59 nett (adult) and RM29 (child) for a feast of 200 different dishes would be very reasonable and affordable too. Remember that the money spent will be assisting the underprivileged too. 
4) Worship BGR has opened up a larger surau to accommodate a larger crowd without compromising the comfort of worship. And now the parking area has around 800 free parking slots waiting for all of us!  So, you want to plan your Iftar Sesama with your loved ones here?

Head on here.

Anna, a widowed social worker, finds that juggling between raising her two kids, Chris and Sam and her job was quite a challenge. And her boss agrees with her. When her boss assigns a case of her acquiantance, Patricia to her younger colleague, she insists on getting the case to prove her boss wrong. At Patricia' home, she finds the two boys locked in a closet with visible signs of physical abuse, althought the kids deny that it was their mother's doing. Patricia was resisting the arrest while constantly wailing 'Please keep them inside for one more night! Just one more night!' over and over again. Convinced that the boys secured under the police's care, Patricia when home. Later that night, she was called by her boss, telling her about the boys' demise - they were drowned. Taking her kids with her to the crime scene, she told Chris to watch over his sleeping sister inside the car.  But kids as kids are - the more you advise them against something, the more intrigue they are to know more. While watching his mother looking at the two kids' corpses from afar, Chris heard a woman crying in the sewer. As he gets nearer to the weeping sound, he realised that the sound was not human. As he tries to run, the ghost manages to grap his hand and leaves some burn marks on his hand.

Will Anna be able to save her family from the weeping ghost? Or will Patricia be able to see her boys again by sacrificing Anna's kids?
MY REVIEW Plot: 4.95/ 5.0 It was such an easy plot - a ghost wants to take everyone else's happiness as she can't have hers and a man of God will try to fail her plan. But the storytelling of this easy plot was so detailed and meticulous that you feel the need to help the family and kill the ghost yourself.  Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 Well done Rich Della for such a brilliant cast - every single one did their characters justice! Will I watch it again: I will, in the cinema and at home too! The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.

When I saw that Hellboy was airing, I immediately bought the ticket as I am intrigued as I was not aware that there is the 3rd live-action of Hellboy. And I don't remember seeing the trailer/ promo video in the cinema too. 
SYNOPSIS

Hellboy 2019 Trivia

• Directed by: Neil Marshall

• Produced by: Lawrence Gordon, Lloyd Levin, Mike Richardson, Philip Westgren, Carl Hampe, Matt O'Toole, Les Weldon, Yariv Lerner

• Production companies: Summit Entertainment, Millennium Media, Lawrence Gordon Productions, Dark Horse Entertainment, Nu Boyana, Campbell Grobman Films

• Distributed by: Lionsgate

• Running time: 121 minutes

• Rating: R (horror violence, bloody images etc)

• This film adapts the England-set Hellboy stories "The Wild Hunt" and "The Storm and the Fury", where Nimue becomes the Queen of Blood and Hellboy in his battle with her brings about the apocalypse.

• Budget: $50 million

• Metascore:35

• IMDb: 5.6/ 10

• Tomatometer: 11%

The movie starts with a backstory of the demise of Nimue by Merlin and King Arthur. With her limbs being torn to pieces and each part kept in different caskets, Nimue, The Blood Queen vows that she will one day come when she will back to inflict vengeance on the world. 
In modern days, Hellboy was given the task to ascertain the whereabouts of Ruiz, who is missing after being sent to investigate a vampire's lair in Mexico. He accidentally killed Ruiz during their wrestle in a ring fight. Devastated, he drinks his sorrow away. Then his father sends him to assist in a giant's hunt in London where the group suddenly turn their backs and tries to kill Hellboy instead, as they believe that Hellboy will be the end of the world. Hellboy manages to survive the attack and have to kill the giants too. 
He fainted due to loss of blood and Alice, his long lost acquaintance, saves him. Alice is a psychic that interacts with the souls of the dead ones. When his father tells him that the current attacks on churches and abysses are related to the release of Nimue, Hellboy are send to hunt for her together with Alice and Ben, a soldier that will turn into jaguar when angered. 
During one of their hunts, Hellboy sees the vision of Nimue who tells him that together they can build a world where they are not being feared by everyone. Intrigued by the idea of such world, Hellboy seems to be distracted and at times a bit unwilling to commit to their cause ie to kill Nimue.  Who will Hellboy choose - the world that fears him or rule together with Nimue and kills everyone that opposes them?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 3.0/ 5.0 I was a bit confused with all the new characters in this one. So many new characters that were not from the first two movies. The storyline is simple - Nimue gets assembled and tries her best to overrule the world. Hellboy will try to stop her, while at the same time intrigued by the idea of a world where he can live freely. At times, the movie became a bit heavy and draggy but overall, it was just ok. 

Cast: 3.2/ 5.0 Not the best of a cast but when I see Milla as Nimue, the Blood Queen, I rejoice! Others are just ok. And it seems that Hellboy is a bit stiff moving his right hand.  
Will I watch it again: Not in the cinema, I will watch it, whenever I want to watch Milla again. 
The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.
