The Last Supper...

CHALET RESTAURANT

Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Lower Ground

A swiss-style steak house restaurant,

first time i ate cheese fondue and bread here on my 28th birthday 2011.

And this restaurant steal my heart..

I repeat again for the last night before they tear down the hotel and closed for two years, 

Yes,

Equatorial will shut down for at least two years.

They tear down all the building, and build a new stronger-higher-taller with better quality.

I am here....

Just here,

same seat.. same butler,

I was thinking I will met same singer and band will sang for me,

but not (bit sad...)

wide range of wine...

choose what you want..!!!

the welcome sign.. 

table for us

too small for three

cute butter and the cute butter top

fresh baked bread

my steak..

my friend steak,

traditional English braised etc etc etc

(I don't even know how to pronounce it)

The other friend's steak

I was too busy smiling when I had dinner,

everything look so fun,

so happy,

so nice..

they sang all the song I want

- Besame Mucho

- Amore

- Pretty Woman

I expected they will sang Santa Lucia, one of my fave too.. 

but they can't do without the lady singer. I wonder where is she.

I always love this place because of its live music.

Some questions arrive, why I insist to came and have dinner at this oldies place just because of it has live music. And why this place, plenty other place have live music too...

ha ha..

No..! not those crappy band playing crappy song.

With low skilled drum and keyboard player, behave like rocker-wanna be, poor sound system

and sang out of the line...

Here they sing slow,

Old songs you like, in a good soft classic quality (according to me...)

*feel like I was in Spanish cafe

 

my coffee for my dessert..

thick and fresh brew with

a cute coffee companies

Damage cost : A LOT,

but not as costly as Gonbei- San in Star Hill or eating sashimi in Kampachi

those two restaurant banned from my pocket.

Dinner here will same cost with dinner at Chili's or Fridays, as long as you watch what your wine intake and the brand you choose.

NICE    DINNER...

I LoVe iT

WILL COME BACK NEXT TWO YEARS

Saigon Weekend Getaway 1

Ho Chi Minh City

Saigon

Vietnam

I am in Saigon (again)

yes.. another weekend here until i know most of the corner in HCMC especially around Saigon River.

Tonight I fly just after I finish work.

Half running, half worry, half panic,

still with my working skirt I went to the airport.

Good thing about Than Shon Nhat Airport, HCMC there are plenty Wifi places.

And I have to wait around 2 hours, 

my friend arrived late....

Complimentary fruits and mini cakes

(same like last time)

Local Beer to wash the throat down

**wine should arrive very soon, but I never patient enough and just grab anything I can found in mini-bar..$$$$

Here I always had the best Pho'

lean meat, slurpee and light broth, but rich in spices.

Fresh herbs..

Pho 24 any other Beef Noddle Shop can't beat Pho' from Renaissance Hotel

USD 15/ Bowl ~ VND 320,000++

(In Benh Thanh Market you can use that money to buy 3-4 Tshirt, haha)

Expensive Pho' yes

But Oh well.. I got no option,

I am hungry and can't be bother to go down eat in street vendor at midnight.

Cheese Platter, crackers and fruits..
arrived with wine... **$$


And I slept... can't even bother to take shower...
tired day...!

no need to count how much money you've spent
just after you arrived in Saigon...

think bout that tomorrow..!


good night

Port Dickson : Short Day Off Getaway

We had another public holiday in Malaysia,

The New King inauguration. How cool is that when your country have a King or Queen, not a greedy President who always whining about salary increment.

Anyway,

talk about situation in my home country will only make me feel disguise.

Let's talk about something else which is more fun.

So yes,

we had short day off. And we plan for getaway around. Port Dickson is the nearest Beaches we can sit and drink.

(We have Port Klang Yatch Club here, but how fun if you sat by the sore and watch plastic floating around by the sea. Can't even have picnic)

Picnic... Yaiy...!

1 hour in an open roof car, 35 Celcius, in the middle of Highway.

I am cooked. Medium to well...

sniff..sniff... I smell like a steak

Spread the mat, put cooler box,

open your slipper, sandals, flip-flop, high heel..

take a  deep breath...

smile..

and yelled..

"Yaiy... I have Picnic..."

**somebody get too excited and throw their flip flop around the sands.

That is our coleman cooler we bought this morning in some hardware shop.

very handy for picnic

just fill up with lot of ice cube, wine, beer, coke, and water..

next time we bring BBQ pit also

Port Dickson is not that fancy beaches like Tioman, Pangkor Laut or Phuket.

But for short Day Off, its quite entertaining.

Especially for person who always crave for beach, sands and sun,

and always love being lazy like me.

Took 1 hour to drive from Kuala Lumpur, via Seremban Highway.

It's a low tide this afternoon,

the sea is way too far from us. When we took a walk,

I saw lot of black spot like tiny rocks..

But when I got closer..

they are tiny mud crab and sea snails..

lot lot lot lot lot of them...

along the beaches...

I start think about how much those little creatures gives us protein.

Tiny crab chips, tiny crab pancakes,

stir fried tiny crabs,

tiny crabs tom yam soup..

Sea snail curry, BBQ snail,

sweet and sour snails..

Feed me for the rest of my life, If I live here...!

close up...

they are cute

most of them hiding in the hole when we get close to them,

They might get scared a giant human step on and smashed them

manage to catch one,

was think to bring it home for pet..

but I can't :'(

so I have to happy enough to bring their picture home

cute tiny grey ball-shape body with bright orange eyes

another creature..

(I don't know the name)

Crab for the legs, Snail for the house

catches some of them,

but then I have to release back

(Sad..!)

another weird stuff I snap

Quite Cute..

tired with the animal planet,

We move to take a picture around the beach..

well actually not that bad...

quite fun..

Hide under the shade..

drink my beer and eat my chips

and went home after sun goes down,

for dinner to do school assignment..
