Kuala Lumpur 7D6N - Day 4

 21/08/2024

Brunch at ICC Pudu, solo.

If only they could install aircon.

Lots of food but was impossible to try all being alone.

Saw claypot coffee, reviews online said the taste was the same as normal coffee.

Prices that you wouldn't find in Singapore.

Very massive old school hawker.

Spotted this with short queue, so I went with the crowd crossing my fingers that it wouldn't go wrong.

Had chilli and sweet sauce.  The fillings of the yong tau foo was too chewy for my liking, should had just ordered some crispy beancurd skin.  Chee chiong fun were very soft and smooth which made it worth the try.

What's most surprising was the ice tea.  It was SUPER DUPER refreshing cold tea, not too sweet.  Forget about whatever coffee.  Bring an empty bottle along, drink one on the spot and ta bao one.

(So good that we had this again from another stall on the next visit, and it was even better!)

After that, took Grab cab to The Exchange TRX to meet my KL friends... and ate again lolxx...

We went into a Taiwanese restaurant - Fong Lye 蓬莱饭店.

The ambience was nice and we almost had to whole place to ourselves at 3pm.

Really a nice place for gathering and the food was great too.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you visit TRX Mall.

Top notch desserts.

Small bird set (小鸟胃套餐), turned out to be a full meal, I bursted lolxx...

台湾卤肉面.

Sweet Potato balls.

TRX B1.

Smell so good but no more stomach space.

Found Milk Toast House but no stomach space, I was sooooooo sad!  They served the fluffiest bread in the world, tried in Bangkok.

TRX, nice mall, bo lang on weekdays.  Retail was no longer like what it was since online shopping was easy with a click.

Grab cab to Pasar Malam Taman Connaught 康乐夜市.

Crowd at around 4.30pm.

Fascinating and affordable unlike Singapore.

Looked so crispy, but putting them out exposed to the air wasn't a good idea I supposed.

I went for a foot + shoulder massage for RM75.

Ta bao oyster omelette.

Also bought giant chicken skewer.

Then tried to walk out of the pasar malam.

Looked kinda scary lolxx...

It was difficult to move in the crowd, I decided to walk along the road to a junction where the Grab cab could locate me.  Waited for 20mins sia.

Back to the apartment for my supper.

It was a beautiful night.

Next day repeated ICC Pudu, TRX and walked to Pavilion, kinda boring haahaa...

Kuala Lumpur 7D6N - Day 3

20/08/2024

Morning, intended to go to a Michelin bak kut teh but we ended up in a wrong restaurant.

The wrong restaurant went very wrong as the bak kut keh wasn't flavourful and the meat was tough, we didn't even finish it.

The chye po omelette was ok though a bit oily.

Chives was not good.

The meal was miserable on a rainy morning.

This Michelin bak kut teh closed on us (next to the one we ate).  But later my KL friend told me it wasn't fantastic anyway.

We saw this Lost X Found Cafe opposite the lousy cheena filled restaurant.

We had coffee which mend our broken hearts from the lousy meal.

We had card game which we read out the questions on the cards.

We answered them, talked about the pass, our vision for the future and a lot more which we never thought of.

The bonding time over coffee was great and I wouldn't mind to come back again for a good meal.

Finally ready to set off, it was a 40mins drive to Putra Mosque.  All pink, not too big, build in 1999.

Rental of robe with cape was free, I didn't bring my own abaya and hijab with my greatest effort to travel as light as possible.

Scenery around the mosque.

Federal Government Office building.

It wasn't possible to walk, we couldn't find any connected route, took a cab and reached Astaka Morocco in 3mins.

The following photos were taken within the free admission areas.

Building materials were imported from Morocco, and skilled Moroccan artisans were also brought in to maintain the cultural authenticity.

While the area wasn't big, the intricate artistic structures were stunning and very photogenic.

The following photos were the inner part, paid RM3 to get in, nothing much to see but was able to take more photos.

Crazy de, took so much photos lolxx...

Bought this tunic dress in H&M at Mont Kiara.  It's so light and comfortable, if I had known, would buy another print of dark blue and white.

We spend about an hour in Astaka Morrocco before heading back to city center.  Considered ourselves lucky, didn't rain during these 2 excursions heehee... 

Dinner at another Michelin, chicken rice since 1938 but was a disappointment.

We were convinced that all (or most) Michelin in KL were CMI.

Chicken not as tender as expected, though didn't taste too bad.  We filled our stomachs for dinner anyways...

Bill for 4pax.

Then we all went separate ways again.

Took a 5mins walk in and out of Jalan Petaling cos I wasn't too interested with the things that they were selling there.

Was trying to look for the 鬼仔巷, didn't see the main thing and it started to rain again.

This time I was drenched just to get into a mama shop for shelter and to buy an umbrella.

Luckily it's still relatively warm even with the rain.  It rained cos it wanted me to visit Leat & Co. Cafe.

So here I was seeking shelter inside.

I chose to sit at a glass table with vintage sewing machine at the bottom.  I paddled, thinking of my late mother, she was a seamstress.  I had never stop missing her, she had passed on for 26years...  I always secretly wished she could be with me wherever I travel.

We couldn't afford to travel while she was alive.  When we all were finally financially better off, she left to a better place for many years...  It took us so many years to be financially stable... It's a sad truth that there's no hope in life in poverty.  Money can buy happiness, grant wishes, provide better support in studies and in all aspects.  Haiz...  so I missed my mother lah...

Inside of the cafe was deliberately rugged.

After being "cheated" by the KL Michelins, I wasn't sure if the awards were legit lolxx...

 Korean Citron Mojito, very nice and refreshing but nothing korean about it.

Cromboloni Biscoff.  Reminded me of Baymax.

Super duper yummy wheel shaped croissant with cream and melt marshmallow inside!  If coming to KL again, I would like to visit to try other items in the menu!

落汤猪 with her dessert and drink haahaahaa...

The awards I saw earlier were legit.

Probably not the cheapest but was still good if compared to Singapore.

When the rain finally weakened, called Grab cab back and that ended the night.

Next day, Day 4, I went TRX to meet up a KL friend then to Pasar Malam Taman Connaught.

I had started work but good that I found time to blog, thanks for reading.
