Category — My Malaysia Trip

I went to KL on Raya weekend… to find food!!! and also leisure la :p

However, lets talk about fooddd cuz we just love food aren’t we?

First stop ~ Vietnamese dinner

Had this in The Curve … but the food quite disappointing. The taste is not good and it was even far worse than the vietnamese food I had in Australia before. Well, Australia one was the best Vietnamese food I have ever tried. Probably Vietname has the authentic and nice one, but I can’t find them in local yet, may it be Malaysia or Singapore.

As for their famous rice poh piah, it was cold. Means it was done earlier and kept in the fridge. So the vege inside wasn’t fresh. Totally a turn off.

The chicken pho, also one of the famous dish in Vietnam, wasn’t nice as well. The broth was not thick enough and it doesn’t have pungent smell.

Sad meal….

Next, cone pizza at Sunway Pyramid as my next day snack…

Saw this on my last visit to KL… but was very full so didn’t try it. This time, friend wanted to try it. And to our surprised, it was great!

The skin was crispy, the cheese inside was melting in my mouth and it was yummy! I just love it. Eat it while it’s still hot. Too bad it was quite pricy though. 1 cone pizza cost us MYR 6.90. Buy 2 at MYR 13. And it wasn’t that big. few mouth then you are done.

Third stop -dinner at Jalan Alor

I have to say, my friend has a thing for Jalan Alor 干炒牛河粉 or fried beef noodle in English. I don’t take beef so I don’t know what so great about it. But he insisted we go back there for dinner if we ever visit KL again.

And he always like to order a lot of side dishes other than his main 干炒牛河粉 or fried beef noodle in English. See the picture below for his beef noodle… just looks like normal cha koay teow to me :p

The food we ordered consisted of – bbq chicken wing (MYR 2.50/pcs) -> my favourite~! , fried asparagus (MYR 8/plate), claypot tofu (MYR 15/pot). All for sharing…

And only this 砂煲田鸡洲 – claypot frog porridge for me… cost me MYR 12

Overall, the food wasn’t cheap in Jalan Alor as they are targeting tourist. And you can find most of the workers are foreigners. The price I mentioned earlier might not be accurate but close to it. I can’t really remember much of the prices except the chicken wing cuz it was freaking expensive!

Forth stop – local delight for breakfast

Went to Asia Cafe at Sunway Giza there…. Had chicken soup for brunch…

As for friend, ordered their fried indian noodle & also Sabah noodle cuz he said the Sabah noodle looked yummy =.= excuse given by tam chiak ei lang…

When I saw his indian fried noodle, I was so tempted to cancel my chicken soup order and order the fried noodle instead… lol… gosh! Made me miss the fried sotong noodle in Penang so much!

The Sabah noodle was quite nice… I just have had a few sips of the soup only and friend finished it off…

So far.. just update this first ya….

Stay tuned for the next up on my continuation of  food searching in KL ~! Food food food~! Nom nom nom ~!

Went to KL on Labour Day weekend… took 10 hours bus to reach my destination =.= really wtf lor… not going to tk coach d… wasted whole afternoon on the road nia… haiz….. so sad…

As I reached quite late (5.30pm in the evening)… not much time for me to go to Petaling Street for their Ikan Bakar d… and friend wanted to go Jalan Alor for their hawker food… so we went there for dinner…. food there not bad.. but very pricy lor compare to other part of hawker centre…. hmm.. it’s one of the tourist attraction.. I’m a tourist in my own country!

After dinner I was exhausted… so just checked in hotel and get an early rest…. forgot to take pic of my hotel… =.=

Breakfast next day was toast bread & tea for me… half boil egg & coffee for friend… we woke up quite late… haha.. dragged till 11am only out from room.. too lazy to move around d

First stop: Midvalley~! Shopping day… yay! But got stucked in the jam outside Midvalley… *sigh*

First thing to do when we reached there: Movie tickets for Thor! Movie quite nice lor… read my review on Thor here.

After window shopping around and still didn’t get what I want… we went for our lunch… late lunch @ Sushi Zenmai… one of my favourite … but friend said the food tasted so so only =.= si pek yim jim Well… cuz he’s very into japanese food… so basically to his standard are the japanese food in Cititel Penang / Ryoma…

I have never been to Cititel Japanese food.. I heard it was quite nice.. but friend said seems like they have changed a new chef… so the food not so nice already…

But my review about Ryoma ~ food so so only.. heheh…

After lunch… we went for movie – Thor… and since I still can’t get what I want… we headed to Sunway Pyramid… vroom~! Need to rush there cuz we wanted to catch the next movie ~ The Lost Bladesman.. I have my review about The Lost Bladesman here.

The movie was at 11.40pm… we went for our dinner at Tony Roma… food not that nice… haiz…

After movie reached hotel was 2am… super sleepy d…. zzzz……….

Next day… we wanted to have a late check out…. but hotel doesn’t allow it =.= so dragged myself up from the cozy bed to KLCC~!

Lunch @ Yuzu … another Japanese restaurant… hahaha…

Friend said the food quite nice… and the price quite reasonable as compare to Cititel & Ryoma…. hmm.. I have no idea.. he’s the Pro here….. he said I listened lo…

But then the set he ordered quite worth it lor…. RM 38 for a lot of varieties… not bad….

Then..headed to LCCT for my flight back…. *sigh*… such a short weekend… there goes my holiday…. sad

It was meant to be a short vacation for me before I started my new job in a new place….

Friend found this Sentosa Villa in Taiping which is quite secluded and quiet… and the price is quite reasonable… so we headed to our Taiping 1day tour

It was in a housing area… hmm… it was really secluded.. pretty hard to pay notice to it….

We reached Sentosa Villa quite late as friend was working on that day… and we drove all the day down from Penang…

We took a stroll around the Villa after we checked-in…the best view is the toilet…. looks quite cool rite?

The room inclusive of breakfast … and they have western and local delights for us to choose… so we ordered both to have a try… I would say the local delight which was Mee goreng was quite tasty… compare to it, the western food a bit common…

Tada~! Room’s view… the room was very big… spacious I would say… and the design is all wooden design… quite nice..

Some views around the Villa…

Pictures taken on the next day….

On top of the reception there is this small area where you can sit down have a drink and chit chat:

And their suggestion box was so cute

More pictures on Sentosa Villa:

I like the wild mushroom grown on the wood… damn beautiful lor….

The surrounding of Sentosa Villa was covered with trees and plants… it was really a relaxing place to be in.. stay here longer also feel younger a few years.. hehhehe……

After we checked out, we went to this Burmese Pool which was just on the way down from Sentosa Villa…

We even have to pay for parking $2….

Next we stopped by this cemetery just around the same area….

It was a cemetery of WWI soldier which some they couldn’t be name….. so they just put some representative name….

Lunch we stopped by this hawker center for seafood porridge… and I love this seafood porridge…

We also had KFC after that cuz friend wanted to have… and force me to share with him…. >.<

Reached PG already evening… tiring but quite a happy trip

Went up to Cameron on Sunday of CNY…day trip….

1st stop was breakfast at Behlum… actually we wanted to go a place eat breakfast one… but the GPS couldn’t find the place… so we ended up at this Golden Point Food court

There were so many people in there… wanted to find a table oso hard… want to order food even harder … =____=\\\

We saw this special “Roti Teringkap” aka 冷甲包 with a long queue… so we bought to have a try… but the taste is so so only… the specialty is just the flavour they made and the texture of the bread…

Then we headed up to Cameron lor~!

There were slight jam on the road… by the time we reached Cameron was almost 1pm already…. second stop was SG Palas Boh Tea Plantation…

My attire of the day:
Tops – Hard Rock SG Babt-T
Bottoms – Uniqlo Black Legging
Shoe – Caterpillar shoe bought by sister
Bag – Chocolate Sling bag I got from my last trip to SG

I still love this SG Palas Boh Tea plantation very much…. the view is still so nice… hehehe…

There were also a lot of people up there…

Then we visited the factory… but the tea preparation show was over.. so…. we can only see them do the cleaning…

We had our light lunch there and enjoyed the windy breeze…  awww…. so enjoyable…. peaceful and relaxing….

After that… we headed to Gunung Brinchang…there wasn’t much sign board to go up there… =___=\\\

It was another challenging ride and the road got even smaller and only can fit 1 car at a time… and the road was very sloopy as well…

However, the view was even greater… it was truly a worthy ride….

There were 2 stops up to Gunung Brinchang… we didn’t know initially… after we stopped at the first one… there were cars at there…. but we walked till the end was actually end of the hill road d… by then we knew there was another stop at the top of Gunung Brinchang as there should be a look out tower

So after that… we drove further up….

I have never been to Gunung Brinchang as I didn’t know there was such place… friend found the place via some websites…

We can’t really see the view from the top of the tower cuz it was pretty hazy that day although it’s already 3pm..

There were a few communication towers at the top of the hill…. and TM office nearby as well….

It was very hazy right?

Some pictures of me at the tower…

After that we went to the market for some strawberries, honeycomb, corn, strawberry chocolate 3-in-1, etc…. then dinner we had steamboat ….

No pictures on the steamboat…hehee… too tired d… by the time reached home already 12midnite…cuz there were traffic jams along the way back PG… jammed at SG perak there… jammed at PG bridge

It was indeed a tiring trip… but enjoyable… hehehh…. a lot of stupid jokes & laughing along the trip… another memorable trip

Day 2… woke up at 10 something… went out almost 1pm d…

We went to Sunway Giza… Lam said there got lots of boutique which sells lots of cheaper clothes…

But need to find food first… We saw this Korean food restaurant… saja go in and tested it out:

The 3 of us shared the BBQ… this shop very nice…can just order 1 type of BBQ… so we just ordered 1 pork bbq, 1 kimchii-jjirae…

They also got free steam egg… yay~!

Lam said wana try the korean rice wine… so we ordered it… but it wasn’t nice…

After this lunch + tea… we started our shopping journey… didn’t manage to snap pic on my shopping spree… cuz too busy to walk up and down… lol…

Didn’t really buy a lot… just got 2 dress, 1 scaft, 1 bag for mom, a clutch ( cuz 70% … just RM 17 nia… so ma si bought it lor)… lol…

Can’t remember where we had our dinner… lol…

The next day… before we headed back Penang… we went to Maid Cafe Klang for our brunch before headed to the bus station

I ordered the soup-in-bread…. not nice at all cuz the soup too little and the bread too big… >.<

There goes my weekend in Klang & KL…

Alright… this round Sher and I went down to KL to find Lam after she’s back from her honeymoon…

Well.. it’s more like a girl hang out weekend…

We took Thursday night bus… reached Klang already midnight… went for supper.. then talked till late night only sleep…

The next day was a shopping day~!

First stop: Midvalley~!

I love Midvalley this year Xmas decoration.. it was covered with soft toys!!! And they were all soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute & huge~!

When we reached Midvalley it was 2pm… and all the car parks were full! Bloody hell~! But lucky us… we just drove into exit H and ngam ngam got 1 person left the place.. lucky us….

First thing we saw was this ice-cream… Sher got attracted to it… so she bought 1 cup with 3 scoops to share…

It was quite costly lor… 1 cup 3 scoops cost Sher RM 17++… more ex than Baskin Robins & Haagen Dazs >.<

I just love Midvalley… don’t you love the decoration as well?

Especially this humongous teddy bear… wow~! I wonder how much does it cost… so huge! If I got a mansion.. I think I can have this in my room… niceeeee…

And of cuz… picture of the bitch blogging now.. lol

Check out the rest of the bitches.. ahem.. I mean pretties

Then we went to have our lunch + tea time at Sushi Zanmai…

Last pic of the day on 2 pretty babes…  before my camera died off >.<

Haih… we had caviar sushi… which we don’t have in Penang… and I don’t get to snap a picture on it… sad…..

Then afterthat Benny met us up… we shop around… till the end with the exhausted feeling.. I got nothing.. haih… sad…

We went to a chinese restaurant in The Garden for dinner…under Benny’s recommendation… forgot the chinese name d… haih… no pictures on that as well… super sad…

Headed back Klang…

Slept at 2am again… cuz babes needed whole night to talk… lol….

Tropical Spice Garden… is one of the famous place in Penang for lovely couples to take their wedding pictures there… but normal people will also go la… good for family to mix around as you can bring your kids there to learn about the flora & fauna which can’t be found easily nowadays…

I always wanted to go there for photo taking… but then never really has the chance.. and I have been making noise to go here for several times… hehehe… finally my friend agreed to bring me there… which I didn’t expect… and I din bring my SLR along…>.< so… all the photos below taken with my Sony TX1 compact… 

There wasn’t many people that day.. although it was a public holiday… only a few families with kids … a couple taking their wedding pictures… and us …

The entrance fee is RM 14 for each adult… they also provided “chang mao oil” for us to put on our hands and legs to prevent mosquitoes bite…

I love this picture most although the small boat already floaded with water… almost half sink…

And also this:

More pictures of Tropical Spice Garden:

Mostly the pictures here were more on natural view… no human.. hahhaha… friend was force to bring me here… so… no mood take pictures of human …

View from top of the hill…

There was a Spice Museum in there… small small one… just some information provided there only.. not really that informative thou…

Flowers found in here….

They also have one souvenir shop in here… which they have spices packed under Tropical Spice Garden’s name… but I have to say they were quite costly lor… hahah… more for tourist one…

The spices arrangement below almost same like the Spice Market’s arrangement in Rasa Sayang Restaurant…

And I saw Vanila-in-bottle:

Say me katak-di-bawah-tempurung… I really don’t know vanila looks like this… sumore is black in colour.. cuz the normal vanila we used for baking is in while colour one..>.<

Anyway…. the entrance fee quite expensive lo… nothing much to see…. and the map cost RM 5 / piece which friend said they should give it for free … >.<

P/S: It was an eye opening and good experience for me… now I won’t be making noise of wanted to go there d since I’m there b4 d…

Day 2… Show you all my camwhore pic 1st.. My attire of the day:

Woke up 7am in the morning!!! >.< The only reason we all woke up so early cuz my smart Darren woke up so early… and he woke everyone up >.<

So … we cannot sleep back… have to get ready for breakfast then… =____=|| Soooo sleepy

After breakfast… it’s around 10am… we checked out from our hotel cuz we will be heading down hill… so we won’t be coming back to Brinchang anymore…

Stopped by a cactus shop for some pictures:

There were a lot of flowers, cactus, vases, souvenirs in this shop…

Me in this cactus shop:

We also stopped for vege + strawberry near Equatorial Hotel there….. but didn’t snap pic

Last stop -> my favourite of all! Actually I have never been to this SG Palas Tea Plantation.. I just google it out cuz sis said wana go (she saw 1 local chinese show and she said it’s very nice)… all the tea farm I went before doesn’t fit her description… so I went to google for more info…

I can say… the road to this SG Palas Boh Tea Plantation is very challenging… the road so small and got certain blind spot you can never know whether there is incoming cars or not >.< A bit like Teluk Bahang hill road to Balik Pulau town… si pek dangerous lor…

Fret not~! We got a good driver here -> me! ….lol….ya la… *beh paiseh mode on*.. *shy*

When we finally reached, the view was magnificient! All the thoughts on the dangerous road has been temporary forgotten. I love this place… Although they made it very commercialize… but then.. it was undeniable the view was great~!

Again… Darren was sleeping… so we have to take turn to snap pic again >.<

We didn’t stayed for long because Darren was sleeping… so we just snapped a few pic and headed back home d…

On the way down… sis wanted to buy the 3-in-1 Stawberry Chocolate… and we saw this new Chocolate shop… so we stopped by to check it out… at the same time Darren was awoke from his sweet dream…so we decided to have our lunch there as well…

I can say the shop looks very nice… of cuz la! New one ma! But then nothing special on the chocolate… they sell the packaging only… not the taste… and after the packaging.. the price also much more expensive for double or maybe triple >.<

Besides this Avant Chocolate , there was a new shop as well… GreenView Garden… same like Avant Chocolate.. but they got sell food… snacks..

And since we were there… so we might as well ordered our food… and it’s quite costly …

This meal worth RM 70+ >.<

Including my Stawberry salad :

Last but not least… Fresh stawberry juice worth RM 8 with cute Darren as the background

It was raining on n off when we were on our way home…. I think I went there so many times.. everytime also such weather one… I wonder why huh? Hmm….

Reached home almost 5pm… super tiring =____=|||
