There are many cowboy-themed eateries in Malaysia, but Gombak Cowboy Café is probably the only café that features not only cowboy decor but also a complete view of the stables and horses running in the field.

Located next to Gombak Horse Riding Club on Jalan Sg. Pusu, this newly opened cafe offers a variety of Western dishes tailored to Malaysian tastes. This cafe features a minimalist facade made of wood and looks exactly like a cowboy eatery.

Horseback riding activities can be enjoyed by visitors at Gombak Horse Riding Club, next to Gombak Cowboy Café. I have always been adventurous and I’m always seeking for an Adrenaline fix, and so, I did just that before ordering my dinner from Gombak Cowboy Café. I used to go for some horseback riding in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa until it closes the place to public for renovation. It’s been years since I ride a horse, so it’s kinda abit awkward, especially when I haven’t really bond well with the horse.

Say hi to Montana, the horse who gave me a ride. A beautiful, friendly and considerate thing. Fella galloped slowly as if sensing my nervousness, but sped up a bit in the last round. Gosh, that startled me a bit.

I let my son have a good round of it too. Like me, he haven’t gone on a fun ride for years as well. It’s good to know that he still enjoys it.

There are various interesting angles to take pictures in the grounds of Gombak Cowboy Café.

Visited the stable located nextdoor to the cafe. There are plenty of horses here, and they are very friendly and would entertain you for a selfie or two if you talk to them nicely.

Such a darling, this one. Whenever I go near, fella would be placing his face near for some petting. I’d be sure to bring some him carrot treats for my next visit.

Nightfall in Gombak Cowboy Café. Beautiful, isn’t it?

The place is spacious and comfortable dining area also facilitates physical distancing in this COVID- 19 era.

Some pictures taken at night when I was over there. Yea. I’m somewhat a horse and chicken stalker. I heard some sheep in the distance but it was really dark and I was a little spooked to walk around to investigate.

The saloon bar is an attraction for customers to take pictures. Instagrammers would definitely love this Instaworthy place.

Anyway, enough of my selfies. let’s get back to the menu. The cowboy -style cooking concept menu is simple but appetising

The promo price is terribly affordable and the best part of that meals comes with free drinks of your choice. What we had for dinner that night; Meltique Steak, Smoky Duck Burger and Cowboy Special Fried Rice.

Smoky Duck Burger (RM18). I have always loved all the duckie meals, so when I saw the duck burger in the menu, I knew I had to try this one. I absolutely love it. It’s done right and really sensational. They didn’t spare the smoky duck slices. It was thick and goes really well with the fluffy burger buns. Absolutely flavourful and have no gamey scents whatsoever. I would have gone for seconds if I didn’t consider the fact that I’m trying to shed some extra jiggly bits these days.

Meltique Steak (RM45). Another must try on the menu if you’re steak lovers. The steak comes with a side of chunky mushroom gravy and some coleslaw salad. Very flavouful. The steak is well done by default, so if you prefer your steaks medium rare of still abit bloody, please remember to request for it when you placed your order. I like my steaks well done, can’t stomach bloody meats, so this is perfect for me.

Cowboy Special Fried Rice (RM15). If you’re a fan of rice, you’ll love this one. The fried rice is topped generously with fat fried squid. They claimed this is fried rice but in my opinion it tasted more like fragrant herb rice. Absolutely refreshing flavour and it somewhat cleanse the palate when you eat them. A must order if you love flavoured rice.

Drinks; Blackcurrant Soda, Watermelon Lemonade Blizz and Classic Mohiyo. Berrylicious, refreshing and rejuvenating, I must say, especially if you worked out some sweat after some good horseback riding session.

I fancied some hot drinks after meal, so I decides to go for some hot chocolate drink after meal. They have hot coffee and tea too, of course. But I’m not a fan of coffee, so I went for this instead. It’s lovely. Not your instant hot chocolate drink kind of flavour but the real hotchoc with lingering bittersweet aftertaste. A must order if you like hotchocs.

Overall the experience is fantastic and beyond amazing. I love the food, I love the horses, can’t get enough of riding and I foresee that I will be a frequent visitor next year as I’m planning to sign up for some horse riding classes.

For those who would like some good ride, good food and and be merry, you might want to drop by at Gombak Cowboy Café. Info as below:

My life changed when I became a certified scuba diver this year. I started to see alot of things differently. I started to see the people around me differently, I started to lead my life differently and I even see the world around me differently. Before being a scuba diver, I couldn’t care less about the environment, but after I started to scuba dive, I started to realized how much damage we humans has done to the environment, especially to the underwater world.

You may or may not realized this, but marine pollutions was not only caused by the the rubbish and the plastic products that has been thrown away into the sea, but skincare and body care products that we’re using on daily basis. Most skincare products contains chemicals that are harmful towards the marine lives, especially the coral. The usage of sunblocks and body lotions for example, are extremely harmful towards the coral reef. The world’s coral reefs are suffering, and chemicals commonly found in sunscreen contribute to the problem.

When you swim with sunscreen on, chemicals seep into the water, where they’re absorbed by corals. These substances contain nanoparticles that can disrupt coral’s reproduction and growth cycles, ultimately leading to bleaching and consequently will disrupt the marine ecosystem in whole, considering how corals are host to many marine lifeforms.

Even if you don’t swim after applying sunscreen, it can go down drains when you shower. Aerosol versions of sunscreen can spray large amounts of the product onto the sand, where it gets washed into our oceans.

So how do you protect both the environment and at the same time, care for your body? Simple, use organic skincare/bodycare products. Most organic skincare products are coral friendly.

Here’s sharing with you some awesome products that’s organically produced and is environmentally friendly; the M3 Body Care Products.

2020 is a dreadful year for many. With the pandemic and the economic crisis going on, no one is spared from going through difficult challenges in life. But looking on a positive side of things, I got to admit that it’s a year that I’m forced to step out of my comfort zone and push myself to the extreme. And against all odds, I did achieved things that I didn’t managed to achieve in the previous years.

I’m proud to say that despite of everything bad that’s going on this year, I somewhat nailed it and I can now officially call myself a scuba diver. Yes, I got myself certified as an Open Water Diver during the pandemic crisis. I got to give myself a wow and a pat on my back for that, I guess. It was definitely not an easy feat, I must say.

Speaking of something to wow for, I have great news to share with all of you out there.

So it’s still CMCO and while I’ve been cooped up at home, I haven’t been neglecting my workout routine. Well, a girl got to do anything to stay healthy and fit, or all the binge eating is going to bite me with vengeance, right?

I’ve been doing cardio dance at home and been sweating out alot. Problems? Yes. These days whenever I workout and sweat out, the sweat caused heat rashes on my skin that last at least two weeks, and it’s so irritating. It’s so itchy and gives burns like sensation. It’s so irritating to the touch that I had to apply soothing aloe vera gels on it to sooth the discomfort.

I don’t know what contributes to this problem. I don’t have such problems after workouts before, but I’m guessing the stress of being locked up at home and the unhealthy diet I’ve been indulging in is actually accumulating toxins in my body, hence the this is one of the way my body detox my system-through the sweat.

Spotting red dots and dashes all over my body is not an appealing thing, and so I decided to do something about it apart from changing my diet; changing my shower gel.

I decided to give this Dove Micellar Shower Gel a go, considering that I’ve tried Dove Hyaluron Purifying Serum Shampoo and was absolutely happy with it, I’m hopeful that Dove Micellar Detoxifying Green Tea Shower Gel.

According to the label, it’s supposed to soothe and purifies by deep cleansing the skin. Well, that’s just the thing that I need, and after using it for a couple of days, I decided that while the shower gel does not instantly gives soothing effect; perhaps because I already have rashes all over prior to using it, it is proven helpful in reducing my heat rashes spots. As of writing, my skin is no longer that spotty and no new spots appeared after workouts anymore after a few days of usage.

The irritations is also lesser now and I no longer have the urge to scratch my skin til it breaks, so I guess this Dove Micellar Detoxifying Green Tea Shower Gel is really helpful in helping me reduce my heat rashes.Yay to that. I no longer have to suffer heat rashes after workouts. The best part about this shower gel is that it’s also gentle enough to be used on the face. It’s surprisingly effective in removing makeups as well and hydrates the skin well.

I’m definitely a happy camper with this Dove Micellar Detoxifying Green Tea Shower Gel and I highly recommend it for those who have especially active lifestyle or those who needs deep cleansing for their skin. Gym goers, sports enthusiasts and those who leads an active lifestyle will most likely appreciate this Dove Micellar Detoxifying Green Tea Shower Gel . It’s not only soothing on the skin, but the green tea scents are refreshing as well. You smell so good after showering with it.

Dove Micellar Detoxifying Green Tea Shower Gel is available at major drugstores in Malaysia at RM22.90.
