Nothing much done during the holiday. Should have heed the advice from Paul's blog that rain has been visiting KL for the past few nights. And staying over in aunt's house is enjoyable, not so memorable, but a meaningful one.
Aunt didn't really made much goodies for us, but her delicious food makes up for it. Had boiled chicken, veggies blanched in hot water, some pan-friend fish, stir fry diced garlic and shallots mixed with light soy sauce from Stitawan. Yums... A nice simple fare for the night of arrival.
And heaven shows no grace for the 1st night of arrival. It rained when aunt drives us to 4th Uncle's residency. Never mind the rain that it has not disrupt the journey, but more rather, the house is in danger of having electricity supply cut off when lightning strikes. So, no TV programme to watch when lightning strikes if you do not want your telly set goes up in smoke when liughtning strikes.
Went to Sunway Pyramid the next day and walked around for hours. Had lunch at HK Kim Gary Restaurant when aunt asked what do i want to have for lunch. She was rather surprised and show signs of disgusted with her previous nasty experience in Kim Gary (for the food she had was too salty, that she feels thirsty after the meal.) However, this lunch session proves her wrong, and wins her heart back. I had sweet and spicy chicken chop rice with mango milk and cream soup, while mum had roast spare ribs rice with coffee, aunt had black pepper beef spaghetti and tea. Both ladies choose Borsch (a tomato soup boiled with lots of veggies and ox bones. a common soup served in Russia.) for their soup and yums... Kim Gary not only knows how to make good food (Thanks, Tash.) but also how to employ handsome looking young men and pretty looking chicks as waiter and waitress.
Bought a pair of sexy Skinxwear silk briefs and a Speedo goggle at a sale. Well, it is worth it, compared it to here. Art of seduction begins here...
The next day, cousin drove us to Ikea for Swedish meatballs, and unlimited refills of Coffee. Oh know what? KL's Swedish meatballs are actually beefballs, since directly flown from Sweden meatball that is sold here are banned in M'sia as it contains pork and beef. So, we had beefballs. RM12.90 for 15 meatballs. Yums...
And coffee and tea are sold at RM3 per cup, but hey, you have Lipton tea and unlimited refills of coffee, coffee with milk, cappuccino, latte and expresso there, with substitute sugar and cinnamon powder, compared to purely coffee and tea here. Visited a new shopping mall named The Curve, which is just opposite Ikea. And know what? Cathay Organization opens a new cineplex named Damansara Cineleisure (that area is known as Damansara, just a min's drive away from 1 Utama.)
A bird eye's view of The Curve from Damansara Cineleisure.
And had my lupper (a new term used in The Simpsons, describing a meal in between lunch and supper) at A&W after a 7 years break. Fried chicken and root beer float...yums.
Last day of the trips ends with Mid Valley Megamall, a stones throw away from where uncle and Tash lives. And after 3 hours of shopping in Mid Valley (seriously speaking, please give yourself at least 10 hours, if you want to walk thru the whole mall.) means a lot to me. It is just like walking down the memory lane, where Tash and i had my 1st dinner at Kim Gary, shop for some groceries at Carrefour and had gelato at Lecka Lecka.
Bought myself a pair of Nike Air Presto track shoes and a Nike Borders pouch from there before making my way home, back to Singapore.
Was a nice trip, a real good one. The trip would be better if Tash and Paul could be met in this trip. Sigh...Tash was away for a business trip, while Paul was...MIA, i suppose??
