Sunday In Kuala Lumpur

It will be our last day of outing in KL today and we woke up early to have a good breakfast. Hubby happened to chance upon a few good Chinese (local) yum cha restaurants but not near our hotel.

We travelled out to the area nearby Overseas Restaurant and found that most of the restaurants are closed. We noticed that they are opened for business at 11am. However, we found a Chinese restaurant which opens at 10:30am and went for it.

Palace Group was the restaurant we had our dim sum breakfast. The restaurant was very big… it’s like a ballroom we used in Singapore for weddings and D&D. They opened only half of it as the crowd is not flooding in that early.






We ordered the usual dim sum dishes but we ordered their special beef briskets and curry fish balls which were very delicious. Faith simply enjoyed the pork porridge with century egg that she actually finished the whole bowl! The char siew bao was equally delicious and yes, Faith also finished about 11/2 half of it…

After lunch, we went to Time Square as the kids wanted to have fun. When we arrived, I was quite taken aback with the place. It was big though with a in-door theme park but the place seemed to be like our very own Lucky Plaza… many small shops selling almost the same items.

Tired of walking in Time Square, we travelled to KLCC for a better shopping spree. Though things are more costly but it’s definitely a better shopping mall than Time Square. It was very crowded as usual but we were happy to do some shopping at shops like Zara, MNG, Isetan and friends managed to get good bargains at shoe shops for their kids.

Theresa recommended us to dine at Madam Kwan, their local food located at KLCC. The food they served was similar to our very own Grandma’s but better. The nasi lemak was very delicious.

After dinner, we went back to hotel for an early night to pack our stuff. The kids wanted to have a game of monopoly and we all hang out at Theresa’s room. The kids & I played monopoly and were having a great time while Chloe entertain Faith.

Genting Adventure

We set off early to Genting Highlands and traffic was pretty smooth on a Saturday morning. It was about 1 hour drive up to the highlands and we decided to stop over for brunch!

Hubby & I tried to locate the delicious wanton noodle shop on the highlands but somehow there was a change of ownership. We decided to have our brunch there anyways. We ordered the wanton noodles, wanton soup and a vegetable. I would say that the noodles did not taste as good as the previous time we visited.




We continued our drive up to Genting after lunch and found that it was very foggy on the way up so, we drove slowly up. When we arrived at the Genting Highlands Hotel entrance, the whole place was foggy and floor was really wet. The weather wasn’t that cold but kind of dry instead.

We moved around the place and ended up at the indoor theme park to enjoy some rides with the kids. The theme park was extremely crowded and queues for the rides took ages. The families moved on their own and for us, we went for some shopping and rides with Faith.

Kenneth & hubby went to Casino for a few games but unfortunately, they lost. We left Genting Highlands before sunset as it will be very dangerous to drive in the dark. We went to KLCC for dinner but Chili’s was full house then. We made our reservation on the spot and went shopping to kill some time.


It’s been a long time since I last dined at Chili’s and the food hasn’t changed a bit. I remembered those days when we used to gather at Boat Quay Chili’s for dinner celebrations.

Road Trip To Kuala Lumpur

Our road trip dream is finally happening after planning for a long time!

We set off early this morning after a great breakfast at West Coast MacDonald’s. Before setting off, we received a scare from Bird coz’ she messaged to inform that their car couldn’t start this morning but finally managed after getting the people down to fix the battery. The kids were just as excited as the adults! Thanks to Vivan’s goody bags to keep us awake during our trip.

It was quite a long & slow drive as we were travelling with our kiddos. We made a few stops at the rest area for toilet breaks and getting some snacks. We did not stay long as we wanted to get to our destination as soon as possible.

We stopped by for lunch in Melacca led by Bird & family. The dishes we ordered were delicious and I was really happy to taste good peranakan food in Melacca. I would say some of the dishes tasted nicer than the ones in Singapore.






After our delicious lunch, we continued our drive towards KL. By evening, we arrived at Traders Hotel KL which was kindly booked by Theresa. The hotel is very nice and business liked. Their rooms were spacious and cozy. Faith seemed to like our room very much as she was moving around the room and trying out the sofa, and chair in the room. With some time given before dinner, we took the opportunity to freshen up Faith and ourselves.


We head out for dinner at Overseas Restaurant which was not too far from our hotel. We managed to get to the venue with the help of the GPS. When we arrived, the restaurant was already filled with people but we were led to our private room since we booked in advance.









We pre-ordered some signature dishes like roast pork & char siew & herbal duck. Hubby checked out their menu and ordered the rest on the spot. It was our first time dinning there and I would say that this is one good restaurant that you should try when you visit KL.

The roast pork & char siew were delicious… okay… do not compare to those in Hong Kong. The duck was soft and super tasty. We ordered the home-made tofu with salted fish on hot plate, fried egg & vegetables. We totally enjoyed every dish as they were so delicious!




After dinner, we returned to hotel as it started to pour. We planned for an early night coz the drivers must be so tired after a long drive and we are planning to travel up to Genting tomorrow. Till then… Good night everyone!

Christmas Meet Up

Christmas is my favorite season of all time and it’s the time for sharing. I am happy to meet up with friends whom I don’t get to meet everyday.

Jessie & I were happy to have dinner with Linda at Suntec Convention. We walked around and ended up having steamboat. The steamboat place hasn’t change a bit except for their added varieties of food.



As usual, our average side table for three were occupied by the plates of food for steamboat and left us very small area for our drinks and sauces… I would say that their chicken rice was pretty tasty and not oily; the chicken meat was surprisingly tender. As for their steamboat dish selections, it was not as much compared to other buffet places; but was enough for us.

Their desserts corner was quite nice too as they have mango puddings, cakes, ice-creams and hot desserts. Before heading home, we did not forget to exchange our Christmas gifts and it was indeed an enjoyable dinner gathering.




Merry Christmas in advance!

Road Trip Preparation Dinner

Met up with buddies Bird & Threz for dinner at Skinny Pizza to have a small preparation for our first ever road trip to Malaysia.


Threz who has dined at Skinny Pizza before ordered all the dishes for us to try. I never doubted her choice of food and this time it was thumps up again! I can’t recall the name of the dishes she ordered but I certainly took pictures of them.







Though it was a short dinner gathering but we enjoyed both food and company… mmmh…KL here we come!!!
