  • Chinese New Year Is Almost Here At Pavilion, Bukit Bintang

    Chinese New Year Is Almost Here At Pavilion, Bukit Bintang

    Chinese New Year Is Almost Here At Pavilion, Bukit Bintang -Two more weeks to Chinese New Year, the Snake year, are you ready to celebrate this best-of-the-best Chinese festival of the year? Almost all shopping malls are decorated with ching chong Chinese New Year decorations and all competing to show the best decor of all the lure customers.
    Well, it’s fun to see the decoration, feel the atmosphere, but I feel most important is that your mall must have good parking, cheap parking, good shops, cheap buys not just good decor. Last Saturday I went to the city, famous shopping district Bukit Bintang for some CNY shopping and it’s fun, spent for like almost whole day at there and the traffic in the city was so traffic, the street was so crowded with people, especially Pavilion where the super red red Chinese New Year decoration attracts so many visitors. I went there to see see also. =D

    Well, my ass, my body is so itchy for Chinese New Year now, 2 more weeks of work to go and it’s gonna be slacky and slow, and I don’t care already, Chinese New Year DAI SAI. HAHA.


    Have you got the feeling of Chinese New Year for this year Snake Year already?

  • Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street

    Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street

    Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street – I always thought that Petaling Street is a tourist area that don’t really has good food and they are mostly target for tourists which price are high and food at a normal level. But then I am wrong, turned out that Petaling Street has a good food!

    Blogger me.
    One of which is the Seng Kee Restaurant (胜记) which is famous for Claypot Lao Shu Fen (沙煲老鼠粉) and Roasted Pork Noodle (Siu Yok Mee 烧肉面). So on last Sunday night, I went to try it out to see how good it is. I ordered one Claypot Lou Shu Fen (RM8 – small), and a plate Siu Yok Mee (RM10 – small). Price wise is OKOK, not very high but the portion is a bit small for 3 person  Haha.
    Siu Yok Mee.
    Claypot Lao Shu Fen.
    Taste wise? The Siu Yok Mee is really good which sweet crispy roasted pork and the noodle used is the same as Wan Tan Mee (生面) with some soy sauce and garlic. I like it. On the other hand, Claypot Lao Shu Fen turned up good too with plentiful of minced meat, but yet I prefer Murni’s Claypot Lao Shu Fen.
    Nevertheless, this is a place that I will come back again. It’s a must eat at Chinatown Petaling Street of Kuala Lumpur. =)

  • Sunday Night At Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpu

    Sunday Night At Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpu

    Sunday Night At Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur – Sunday night was blue because it’s work the next day. Spending time at home is just bored on a Sunday night and some times can be moody. Petaling Jaya has no hangout spot, I am not saying shopping mall because it’s pretty much a confined space with shops. I prefer street, strolling in the city, walking, seeing life & tourists. How I wish my work, my school and my house are all in the city, so I can do street photography and explore city’s corner easily.
    So, I decided to go to downtown Kuala Lumpur yesterday night with a couple of friends – Beng Tian and Hock Sheng, both high school mate from Penang. My craving for photography is back recently, Petaling Street is a good place for photography with much culture, people and tourist, and there’s also has a nice Claypot Lou Shu Fen which we went for dinner.
    I haven’t really been to Petaling Street at night, thinking that it’s pretty quiet on a Sunday night, turned out I was wrong. The place was happenings, filled with tourists mostly, and foreign Bangla Myammar Indian worker selling imitation products. Surprised to find that there’s actually quite a few nice food stalls at there too which booked my next visit to taste them out.

    A dinner and some stroll in the city really filled and cheered up my blue Sunday night. I love city, how about you?

  • Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

    Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

    The exterior of Levain. Looks pretty cool.

    Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie – ‘Boulangerie’ means bread shop and ‘Patisserie’ means a type of French or Belgian bakery that specializes in pastries and sweets and ‘Levain’ is the name of the restaurant/cafe/bakery that located near the very busy area of Jalan Imbi/Bukit Bintang, but then it’s hidden around that area on a row of bungalow houses.

    The restaurant.
    They are famous for macaroons!

    If you are from around KL, then you will know about Levain, but if you are like me from Penang. nevermind, let me bring you there now. I’ve heard some good reviews from my KL friends and finally I get to visit it during a lunch with my dear Clarice. It’s not very hard to find actually, but GPS leaded me there.

    Ohhh, so many cakes! So pretty!

    It looks pretty awesome inside with bakery at the entrance and sittings inside and also outside. Since it’s my first time, I don’t really know how to order, the person asked us to find a seat ourselves and that’s it. After asking again, it’s actually order your food at the counter, you can pick some pastry too, and then tell them your table number when ordering, pay it and wait your food to be served. It took me some times to do the ordering because I didn’t know what to order at first, there’s so many nice food on the menu and I want them all.

    Wahhh, OKOK-only.

    So, I ordered their famous a Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio (RM12.50), a Mushroom Chicken Soup (RM6.50) and a Turkey Ham & Cheese With Rice Pizza (RM18 for Large).

    I like this! Mushroom chicken soup!
    Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio. Yums.
    Turkey Ham & Cheese with Rice.

    Wanted to try more by stomach couldn’t take more already. I like the Mushroom Chicken Soup, it’s so creamy and the Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio is nice too. For the pizza, I feel so-so only, because I don’t really fancy rice on it, and not that much of meat. You maybe will like it, but not me.

    Me and Clarice.

    Clarice looking happy after the meal!

    Overall, it’s a nice place, and I’ll come back to try more, perhaps the fresh baked pastry.

  • Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店

    Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店

    Ground floor is not the steamboat. You enter via the stairs beside, but then the ground floor restaurant has the similar design.

    Klang Valley: Dragon Door Steamboat 龙门客栈火锅店 – My friend Wesley has been telling me how good and special the steamboat is and I went to tried it last week, I felt … OKOK-only.

    You will be welcome by a wall of the shop owners photo taken with some celebrities. Do note that some photos are repeating to create a illusion that super celebrities were here before. Haha, but in fact, there’s quite many celebrities have been there.
    The interiors.

    What’s so special about this Dragon Door Steamboat at Cheras, near to Leisure Mall is the interior setting which is very cool, warm and got feel, and then the steamboat is fired by a real charcoal pot which many people claims that it taste better like this. I was not really surprised with charcoal steamboat as there’s one in Penang already.

    Guys of Diploma In Interior Design @ Taylor’s University – Arvin, Moh, Gino, Steve and Wesley.

    There’s no set menu, it’s all a la carte where you order the dishes one by one of your choice which I find it’s pretty difficult to get satisfaction, more over we are student and keep thinking how much it costs in the end. There’s plenty of sauce for you to mix and match to be eaten with your steamboat that I feel is nice.

    Oops, photo was bombed by the steam. Anyway, I very hate Si Chuan Spicy Soup.

    Whereas the soup were pretty good too except for the Si Chuan spicy soup which I’ve never fancy about all the while, I like the pork leg soup which surprisingly didn’t result in the craving of fluid like other steamboat’s soup does that has lots of MSG.

    Us again.

    Well, it’s a nice place, a little bit pricey and confusing that they should have set menu, and I prefer La Mei Zi in Penang.

  • CLESIC & The Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary

    CLESIC & The Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary

    The alumni, graduates of 1981. Hyper-active group of uncles.

    CLESIC & The Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary – It’s quite surprised that my old Chung Ling High School friend invited me to the Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni 50th Anniversary dinner because I haven’t been active with my old school for a long long time. How are you Chung Ling High School?

    Cocktail session.

    Actually, it’s not eat, it’s helping out at the dinner, before, and after, in between we get to join in the dinner with all the uncle senior alumnis who are based in Central Malaysia. They are uncles and aunties already, and also member of Central Malaysia Chung Ling Alumni Club, and for us, we are part of CLESIC – Chung Ling Ex-Student Inter-varsity Council. Woahhhh. It’s just, alumni, for university student (at this moment). Only now I know there’s something like this, alumni might not be a place for us right now as we are too young, dominated by uncles, so CLESIC it is.

    The guys: me, Khai Liang, Lit Chen, Win Shern, Jing Min, Chuan Hao.

    Normally CLESIC happens to be in public university like UM, UKM, USM and all the U-and-the-M. There’s no Taylor’s University, but glad that I was invited as part of it. Well, it’s fun, simple tasks, great dinner, OK-good performance, met new friends, good laughters throughout the night and =).

    Ushering.
    Rise for the national anthem. Yoyoyo.
    Rise for the school anthem, the last time was, 3 years ago.
    A way to control noise in the hall.
    Some Chinese dance performance.
    Well, hmm, OK, when I look at this, I’ll think of Bo Hood. Hmm, hmm, hmm. Hello Mr Koh, ex-chief minister of Penang.
    CLESIC. Too many to name, I don’t even know some of your name. You know who you are. Lady in blue is Xiao Hui, host from NTV7, happens to be the host for the dinner too.
    This is it.

    It was a grand alumni dinner in the Kuala Lumpur. As I know, Chung Ling-kia (what we call Chung Ling student) always do big. No doubt that Chung Ling has the biggest alumni network around the world, UK, China, USA, Australia, they are just everywhere. Proud to be a Chung Ling student, yes I do.

  • Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT

    Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT

    Always crowded Pavilion Shopping Mall.

    Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT – Very random last Sunday with eating pork noodle, doing some gym, head to town with Hock Sheng – high school friend, and took the LRT back. I have been isolating myself for a couple of weeks and it’s time to release myself from my tiny full-of-entertainment relaxing rented room to head to town, breath some fresh air, window shop the shopping mall and eat.

    I am weird, I like to stay in the room, and yet I like to go out. Can you explain what do I really like actually? At some point of time, I enjoy staying at home, enjoying the TV, blog, music and Internet, then I am also an outgoing one, check out new stuff, new place, and buy thing. @@

    The queue!
    Very cool interiors.
    I want more, please! I shall go to the Europe, the Sweden as I heard it’s even cheaper there, true?

    Actually, the main reason I went to town was to check out the newly opened H&M at LOT 10, Bukit Bintang, took the LRT there and not-surprisingly, there’s a queue line outside and luckily it’s not hot and got in in about less than 10 minutes. 3 floors, ground and first floor are ladies’ and the 2nd floor is the man’s.

    Amazed, happy, shocked with the low price and choices, I bought a couple of shirts. The price is good! Shirt starts from RM39.90, what do you think? Best of all there’s XS size for little body size like me, but then not much XS/S available. It’s very crowded and happenings, people queuing for fitting room and cashier. I suggest you to go on the weekday or wait for the new one at Setia City Mall @ Setia Alam, Shah Alam.

    Standard eat @ Snowflakes – Snowflakes Bestseller Grass Jelly.
    Me with the little bag of shirts.
    Hock Sheng who used to sit next to me during high school. Just came to KL recently for study.
    BMW 650i Coupe – Just got to say, beautiful and I want. So sexy!
    Almost sunset from Pavilion bridge to KLCC.
    Sunset from Taman Bahagia LRT station. Good bye.
    Went to Pavilion for a break at Snowflakes, chit chat with Hock Sheng, talk about some random stuff and his life in KL. Window shopped a bit and then, home we go and I manage to catch the sunset from the LRT station before headed to the carpark. Sunday, that’s it, fun.
  • Petronas KLCC After Dinner

    Petronas KLCC After Dinner

    Petronas KLCC After Dinner – I had Korean food last Friday! It was a very-very full Korean dinner for me and I will talk about it in another post. After dinner, I did not want to go home yet, I want to walkaround to digest the food in my little stomach. I was so bloated after dinner and need some exercise.

    Since nothing to do, so I went to KLCC (Petronas Twin Towers) for fun with dearest, Hueisean! =) I feel very funny when people were driving out of the carpark at 10.30pm and I was driving in. There’s no other place better than KLCC for a night walk, is there any? =D

    KL is not like Hong Kong where you can go to the Victoria Harbour, Sai Yeung Choi St or Causeway Bay for walk, even Singapore has more place to walkaround at night e.g. Marina Bay. KL… Hmmmmmmm.

    The Public Bank building looks awesome!
    It’s her!
    Us!
    Passed by H&M, Bukit Bintang while going home. People were standing outside taking photos on the day before it opens. Haha.
  • Visit To Setia City Mall

    Visit To Setia City Mall

    Visit To Setia City Mall  – It was a random decision on visiting Setia City Mall at Setia Alam, Shah Alam with the dearest, Hueisean! It’s quite a very new mall, located in a very new suburb town of Setia Alam at Shah Alam. Initially, I have no idea where it is, I just though that it’s at Shah Alam.

    Set on my favourite GPS – Waze then I followed the navigation. It took me about 30 minutes to reach there. Seems far, indeed. I actually neglected to follow the GPS as I thought I knew the way, ended up it took me longer to reach. DAMN.

    Surprised to reach Setia Alam, a very new town in Shah Alam where you can see nothing much at there except trees, newly built residential area, plain ground waiting to be developed and there this Setia City Mall.  I was like – ‘WALAO, THIS PLACE CAN HAS A MALL, GOT PEOPLE WANNA VISIT MEH?’

    Parking is quite cheap. RM2/3 hours on the weekend and interesting to see there’s many car here. Once get into the mall, the perception about the area and the mall changed. It’s not very big, but then there’s the crowd and there’s quite many brand!

    You can even find Uniqlo and soon-to-open H&M here! H&M just opens at Bukit Bintang Lot 10 by the way. Seems like this is a good place to shop. Not too crowded as Mid Valley, brand choices is OK-good and I bought cloth at there.

    Will come back again when I feel really bored, or to getaway from the busy city to relax relax. =D

  • First Time: Pubika @ Solaris Dutamas

    First Time: Pubika @ Solaris Dutamas

    First Time: Pubika @ Solaris Dutamas – Publika, a mixed development mall + office + residential located at Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur is a very cool place. I went there for the very first time last week for dinner and to check out that place as I’ve heard friends telling me that the place is cool. Yes, indeed it is.

    First Time: Pubika @ Solaris Dutamas

    It’s a very artsy mall which houses many cool and nice cafe and restaurant. The interiors of the mall is decorated with various arts pieces that also serves as furniture. If you are a designer, sure you will like that place, touching, taking photos and enjoying the place.
