Hungry-less November

Who love me the most? Of course besides parents, I do! I really know how to pamper myself… look at my lunch & dessert after lunch!

Once upon a time in November, I was craving for bak kut teh when I was in Kepong, then I came across this restaurant named 老彭绑线肉骨茶 (direct translation – old Phung tie string bak kut teh), this restaurant is this is exactly what I want. I ordered a bowl of their signature bak kut teh, the lady boss even advice me to take the small bone, I was not happy that she “underestimate” my stomach, so I ordered a bowl of yau char kuey and a bowl of rice too! ooooo… the bak kut teh was so yummy… but, the lady was true… there’s no way for me to finish the big bone, after finished everything, I was actually quite full, but as you know, lady also has 2nd stomach for dessert, so, I walked across the road to De Pastry Chef Cake & Cafe, one of my favourite cake house, ordered a slice of blueberry cake & a glass of pineapple juice (good digestive drink after a lot of meat).

==============================================================

Once (or twice) upon a time in November, I need to work during weekend, at first I was a little depress but later when me & my teammate had successfully signed 2 deals with customers, I think we deserve a treat to ourselves, so, I brought her to visit this mille crepe cake house @ Kuchai Lama, which I wanted to try long time ago – Indulge Cafe (what an accurate name, indulgence indulgence indulgence!!!). We ordered a mango and a chocolate banana. Erm… comment? We prefer the Malacca one… check out my previous Malacca Trip blog entry.

================================================

Once (or thrice) upon a time in November, my colleagues and I were craving for dessert and one of them haven’t been to Levain before, so we decided to meet up for tea! 3 of us shared a cup of Tiramisu and raspberry/ strawberry short cake… Taste wide, Tiramisu win!

============================================

Once (or donno what’s next) upon a time in November, I was lepak-ing in a mall and saw this – Ninja Joe… I wanted to try this for a very very long time, but… when I was able to try… it gave me such a big disappointment… I thought the pork burger was similar to the Macau pork burger, just smaller in size (I can grab 1 burger in my small hand), but the meat is minced meat… not nice at all!!!

And because the portion was too small, I can even go for the tea right after. See the milo, so classic, milo drink come with another spoonful of milo powder and a piece of soda biscuit, NICE! But the otak-otak and fish stick are only so so…

=================================================================

Once (…………….) upon a time in November, colleague invited me and another friend to her new house… we bought her a big bottle of Choya and bought some chips and sushi and sashimi and cheese to her for supper. We girls really know how to enjoy ourselves!!!

This version of Choya is super nice, I bet non of the girl can resist this drink… so far I only know it’s available in Jaya Jusco, no where else. Strongly recommend those who love drinking but hate the bitter after taste, or hate the burning sensation, you can try this, love at 1st sip is guarantee! 

==============================================

Once (………………) upon a time in November, Garrett Popcorn opened an outlet in KLCC… yes, we are one of the crazy people queuing up to buy it!!! They said the caramel is the best… well, I’m not a big pop corn fans, but the taste is really nice and no residue or hard skin left in mouth after eating. Worth trying, although the price is few times compare to the normal popcorn in cinema counter.

2011 CNY Deco in Shopping Malls

I wish everyday were Chinese New Year, although CNY is not as happening as those time when I was young, but it’s still the most happening season throughout the year! Everybody is going out for shopping, busy for preparation, flowers everywhere, malls will dump in a lot of money to decorate… it’s a season full of hope! Ya, of course these apply to Christmas too… but as a Chinese, my vote to “Most Happening Season” will still goes to CNY.

This year, I shop the most (just window shopping, didn’t spent much because my pockets already being burnt a big hole when I was travelling to Taiwan and Melbourne last year), although I’ve already had enough new clothes and shoes (bought during my trips) for CNY. Below The most beautiful deco in the malls (KL shj, because I didn’t travel outstation, this statement is merely my own opinion).

Pavilion

 

They have 2 big fat rabbits & cherry blossom arches before entering the main entrance, followed by lions with 4 big drums. The drums labelled good health, good wealth, prosperity and peace… you can beat them as a symbol of bringing them with you throughout the year. Huat a! yeah, I beat all 4. hehehe  But I also pity those staffs working in the mall, because every now and then they will heard loud drum noises (because ppl gia su ma, feel like the harder you beat, the more you bring home).

KLCC

KLCC always has the most elegant deco, simple yet elegant. Don’t you think so?

Mid Valley

Champion goes to…  MID VALLEY!!!  The turned the centre court to a small Chinese village, you can see ppl making lion, drawing Chinese calligraphy, selling traditional CNY desserts… made you feel like going back to your parents’ or grandparents time, experience the simple yet warm living. 

Olympic Torch Relay in Malaysia

祥云的魅力可不是盖的，2008年4月21日，也是北京奥运会倒数的第109天，奥运圣火到达了马来西亚，当天被它吸引而到场一睹风采的人多不胜数，除了我国人民，当然少不了留学大马的中国
学生、各地游客等等。
Olympic torch arrived KL on 21st April 2008, it's also 109 days countdown to Beijing Olympic. The torch has attracted not only Malaysian but also a lot of tourists and China students in Malaysia to witness the relay.


当我知道火炬会在大马传递的时候，即使只是一个人，我也要去凑凑热闹，占一占圣火的"光"。很可惜，当天天公似乎想要给我们一点挑战，在传递的最后一段下起了大雨，正如火炬传递的口号，"点燃激情，传递梦想"，这场大雨并没有浇熄火炬手传递的激情和我们的梦想，反而增添了感动和骄傲。
That day was a rainy day, however, just like the slogan said "Light the Passion, Share the Dream", the rain has not put off our passion and dreams, we felt so touch and proud when the "stove" at Twin Tower was being light up, symbolized the success of the relay in Malaysia.


我并没有陪跑，我只是在双峰塔，火炬在大马传递的最后一站迎接祥云。本想要拍照跟身边的人分享，但人潮实在太多，我所处的位置又太远，所以并没有拍到祥云的近照，只拍到火炬点燃终点会场的火炉。
I didn't run with the torch, I only waited its arrival at Twin Tower, the end point of the relay. I can't manage to take a closeup picture of the torch because when I reached there, the place was already jam-packed with people and I was standing too far, so, I can only share the picture of the "stove" here.

天空依然飘着绵绵细雨
The sky was still drizzling the whole evening...

但愿"One World, One Love"这和平的口号并不只是口号而已。。。
I hope that "One World, One Love" is not only a slogan...

仪式完毕后，火炬手马不停蹄地护送火炬到雅加达，印尼
Sending the torch to Jakarta, Indonesia

Sky Bar

Address: Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Phone: (03) 2332 9888
Opening hours: 5pm - 1am
Dress code: casual

I like this bar, because it's located at the 33rd floor of Traders Hotel. During day time, it is opened for the hotel guest to swim and sun bathing; at night, it will be opened for people like us, go there for a drink.

From the bar you can see a breathtaking view of KL & my beloved KLCC. The place is not very crowed, you don't have to share table with others, but of course I will suggest you to do a pre-booking if you want to go there during weekend.

And, my last advice is, don't wear too thick (or should I say you can wear as sexy as you can), as it's quite warm in the bar, don't forget, it's open air.

KLCC

You have no idea how much I love our KLCC twin tower, not because I love to shop there, but I love the building itself, day and night, it gives you 2 different feelings. Let's feel it yourself.
