Qing Ming Jie & Farewell Dinner with Ken

It's Qin Ming Jie again, a time to pay respect to our ancestors. Dad was not back from HK so we didn't go to pay respect to my paternal Grandfather. Mum already went to pay respect to Grandfather and Grandmother on Fri but we couldn't join them as we were at KL. So as usual, we only went to pay our respect to Kennie's paternal Grandfather.

Had BF with Granny and Karin at Toast Box Tiong Bahru Plaza before going down.






Usual stuff there. Set up the table and arrange the Special lunch for him. Cleaning up the tombstone, offering him joss stick and burning incense paper.






Farewell dinner with Ken as he will be going to Hangzhou for at least 2 years. My favourite food, steamboat plus laksa = steamboat laksa at San Laksa Steamboat Seafood Restaurant at 404 Telok Blangah Road. It's an ala carte style steamboat where you are given the menu and a piece of printed order chit and you tick what you want. There's not like a big huge selection, but it's good enough to give you a good varieties. Felt it's a bit ex, around $3-$10 per plate depending on what we ordered. The laksa gravy is thick, fragrant and very addictive. But I can say it's really very unhealthy eating large quantity of seafood and meat and drinking the coconut rich laksa gravy. But nevermind lah, once in a while only. The bill come up to around $300 for 12 of us.

The outside of the restaurant may look more like a coffeeshop but the deco inside looks quite grand. A bit like some ballroom or karaoke lounge.

KL Trip Day 2

Basically it's just another makan day for us today. Breakfast in the hotel. Each of us can only choose 1 set breakfast from the menu which include Nasi Lemak, Western BF, Chicken Porridge, Nasi Goreng bla bla.


These are what we had chosen.


Next, we went shopping at some street and walked toward Restoran Pau Kee located at Imbi which is further down from Restoran Overseas. It's actually not a Restoran, just like a normal Coffee shop. This "Restoran" serves very nice Ipor Hor Fun and Prawn Dumpling. This is definitely a place to go if you are looking for something simple yet delicious.

3 coloured Milk Tea. Very nice. The colours are from Tea, Milk and gula melaka

Then we went for some last minute shopping at Berjaya Time Sq before going back to check-out. As it's still early, we decided to drive to Port Dickson to check out the place but ended up in Jalan Dickson. This is the place where our dear GPS brought us to. The GPS couldn't recognise Port Dickson so we choose the closiest which is Jalan Dickson. Not sure exactly where Jalan Dickson is but it should be somewhere near to Port Dickson. Nothing much there except for some small shops and a beach which is close to the public. What a waste of time.

Our A&W Lunch at Ayer Keroh.

Good Friday & KL Trip Day 1

Went on a short trip to KL today. A last minute decision as we didnt want to spend the long weekend in Sg. Woke up at 4am and left home at 4.45am. Drove non-stop from Sg to KL and reached KL at 8.30am. Feeling is so shiok as I enjoyed driving and it's another record for me and my little car. Maybe next time I will try further places like Cameron Highland or Trengganu. The journey there is quite smooth except for some hiccup at the custom. The GPS that David lend is also very irritating. Keep warning us that we were not following the speed limit, or we were near camera and road block zone.

Breakfast at Chinatown (Jalan Petaling). We had the sliced fish and porridge at Hon Kee Porridge and it tasted much beter today as compared to previous visit. Right next to Hon Kee Porridge is a very famous chee cheong fun stall. The chee cheong fun is very different from our version. It looks more like kway teow flavoured with sweet and chilli sauce. The colour of the sweet is also different from ours, dark brown versus red. The chee cheong fun tasted much better then ours as it's smoother but I don't really like the sauce.

Decided to try our luck to check in to our hotel after BF. Circled around Bukit Bintang a few times as the GPS only brought us to Bukit Bintang but couldn't recognise the house no. In the end, had to rely on the map that was printed out from Google Map to find the hotel. The outside of the hotel and lobby looked pathetically small and very rundown. The worse part is that the room stink as the carpet smells of Hong Kong Legs and it seems like they have not changed the bed sheet cover for ages. But the hotel is ideally located in the heart of the Golden Triangle surrounded with shopping and food paradise, just a few mins walk to Berjaya Time Sq, and right in front of Sungei Wang and behind Jalan Alor (famous food street). Oh btw, the hotel is so nice to let us check-in at 11am.


Spend the rest of the day shopping at Sungei Wang and Berjaya Time Sq. The clothes there is surprisingly cheap as compared to previous trip. A dress cost less than S$10 and as usual, Kennie was buying almost everything that caught her eyes.

Our lunch at Restoran Overseas at Imbi Road. They are widely known for offering exquisite contemporary Cantonese cuisine. Their speciality is their char siew and advance order must be made. Too bad, didn't get a chance to eat it as we didnt order in advance. The service is also very good as the staff is always smiling and making sure that our requests were taken care off.

Complimentary Soup of the Day. Everyone of us has a bowl. Though it's free, it tasted so nice.

Fried toufu with bittergourd. The toufu is so fragrant and softtttttt.... I love toufu.. keke. all men love to eat toufu

Claypot duck.

Another of their specialities. Salted fish with pork belly - thinly sliced fatty pork with dried chili as well as salted fish.

Vege with century egg

After lunch, we continued with our shopping spree. Eat and Shop, Shop and Eat. It's like paradise.

Our dinner at Wong Ah Wang Jalan Alor. Nice Nice. We missed the bbq chicken wing so much.

Wanted to have Supper at Man Sook but it's not opened. So disappointed.

The carpark at out hotel. Super high tech. My car is actually hidden below this car. A press of a button and my car will raise up.
