You can use the following code to create Menu

CCMenuItemImage *menuItem1 = [CCMenuItemImage itemFromNormalImage:@"menu.png" selectedImage:@"menu1.png" 
target:self selector:@selector(onClick:)];

CCMenu *menu = [CCMenu menuWithItems:menuItem1,nil];
    menu.position = ccp(320,480);

    [self addChild:menu z:100];

Hope this helps.....

Do I create the menu in the -(id)init ?

Yes, create the menu in the -(id)init of CCScene subclass or CCLayer subclass as the following tutorials. It is prefer to attach the menu into CCLayer because you can adjust the position of the menu at once by setting the position of the layer.
