Little sis's 12th Birthday @ Kura Japanese Restaurant,

One World Hotel

How time flies... From her 1st birthday till the 12th one now, it was one whole cycle and now it's the year of the Rat again. We have a 12 years age gap and I can remember every single little celebration we had for her. :)

Anyway our family threw a birthday dinner for her at Kura Japanese Restaurant at One World Hotel, Bandar Utama. Little did I know that Kura Restarant is actually one of the franchises of the ever famous Rakuzen @ Sri Hartamas. Tsk tsk..

Though it's at a hotel, the price range was the same and the food even better! YUM!
Happy Birthday Jeanette! Hope you liked the present! :)

Back from Amazing Thailand, Bangkok!

What a tiring trip.... why you may asked? It was due to the endless shopping spree we had at Bangkok, Thailand. We shopped till we dropped and it was sooo darn HOT. Come to think of it, I don't think I can ever live at Bangkok due to its extreme humid weather and dusty enviroment.

I need MORE fresh air!!!! :P

I was back late at night on Monday then it was a busy working day on Tuesday. Thank god it's a holiday today due to Thaipusam! :) I still need time to unpack my goodies... tsk tsk... will update soon again. Stay tune everyone and Happy Holidays! :)

We flew by Air Asia and it took us 2 hours and 5 minutes to reach Bangkok!

Bangkok here I come....

How time flies... Back from Hong Kong 2 weeks ago and now it's another round of trip for me to Bangkok. My previous trip was last May and 8 months later, I'm going again courtesy of Air Asia's RM 9.99 promo ticket last year. :P

Thailand is no stranger, I've been there so many times and I am still anticipating the endless SHOPPING and glorious FOOD that await me!

I will be bringing only 2 tops and pants and loads of cash. Shop shop shop and shop till I dropped. tsk tsk tsk... Girls are scary aren't they? :P

I will be missing for 5 days so do stay tune for more FOOD from Thailand. By the way I'm still not done with the HK posts yet. Have a good week everyone

Day 3 @ Causeway Bay and New Year Eve @ Avenue of Stars...

I was at the US Embassy today and gosh I didn't know they were so strict and all. No phone, no cameras, no nothing except for needed documents and wallet. Will blog about that later. Thank god it was over. tsk tsk... Next up Bangkok here I come! I'm in serious need of some good shopping and massage therapy. :)

Anyway here are more photos of Hong Kong! LOL! This time we visited Causeway Bay and almost spent New Year Eve @ Avenue of Stars which we left half way before the fireworks at 12. hehe... Yes I know we were so close of spending new year eve and witnessing the fireworks, but we just can't bear the torture of waiting!

It was cold with no food and drink, the toilets were all closed, I was so darn cold and sleepy and we had to sit on the floor. So we left! :P

Me in my new M&M top! Bright Red! :)

Hong Kong Day 3 - Ocean Park and FOOD SPREE!

More photos of Hong Kong Again! LOL! :P

Instead of visiting HK's Disneyland, we headed over to Ocean Park for a half day visit. I've heard feedbacks saying that the Disneyland there was small and all, hence maybe I'll keep that for my next visit. :P

Ok let's allow the photos to do the talking ... It feels young again to be riding on roller coasters and seeing the animals. hahaha! Indeed educational :)

We woke up for an early breakfast nearby the hotel. It was great to have a hot bowl of noodles during the winter. yum yum!
Photobucket

Wooo this bowl of noodles cost HKD 24 hence it's about RM 12! Not bad! The curry fishballs were awesome!
Photobucket

The dry version of Wan Tan Noodles with egg, beefballs and wantans!
Photobucket

It's so HUGE! Stuffed with pork and prawn! :)
Photobucket

Ocean Park! Just get on a bus from Admiralty MTR station and 15 minutes to Ocean Park!
Photobucket

Even the entry tickets look so cute huh? :P
Photobucket

At the main entrance! It's about RM 120 per pax!
Photobucket

You see lots of flamingo after entering!
Photobucket

More photos of the surrounding...
Photobucket

Photobucket

So cute! Gingerbread man! haha! I was so darn excited!
Photobucket

The rollercoaster ride! Weeee! It was the first thing we attempted upon arrival.
Photobucket

The ride was awesome with a view overlooking the sea...
Photobucket

Phew finally ended. The sun was soo glaring and I can't open my eyes fully... :P
Photobucket

Us after the ride, hair all messy :P
Photobucket

Next section of Ocean Park was the Pacific Pier where you get to see dolphins and seals!

Avenue of Stars & Temple Street (Miu Kai)

Hope you're not bored with the Hong Kong posts yet? LOL! :P

Anyway it's a holiday today, Al-Muharam Holiday!! Yeah Yeah!!! And exactly one week more and counting down to my next trip to Bangkok, Thailand! I'm so darn looking forward to the FOOD and shopping... tsk... tsk... :)

Here are photos from half day of Day 2 @ Hong Kong! After the visit at the peak in my earlier post, we headed down to Tsim Tsa Tsui via MTR and visited the Avenue of Stars! A main attraction @ HK facing the harbour!
Photobucket

Before heading to Avenue of Stars, we decided to feed our sweet tooth with yummy desserts nearby! I love HK's dessert, so nice! The mango sago!! slurrp! :P
Photobucket

Tried their "Har Kao" aka prawn dumpling! Huge prawns and so juicy!
Photobucket

It was so cold and windy by the harbour! I love it! Time for more camwhoring!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Me myself & I!
Photobucket

Avenue of Stars is a tourist attraction where you get to view the many hand prints of HK movie stars along the stretch of pathway...
Photobucket

OMG! I look so tired with bad puffy eyes :P
Photobucket

The special someone & me! :)
Photobucket

Photobucket

Wah wah Andy Lau! :)
Photobucket

Us posing with Leung Chiu Wai's handprint! You see we got so comfortable that we sat on the floor! LOL!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Anyone wants to act? I can be the Director! hahaha!
Photobucket

Then we went up the bridge near the harbour and took a better glimpse of the whole HK! So beautiful leeeeeeeeeeee.....
Photobucket

Black & White! :)
Photobucket

Photobucket

After Avenue of Stars, we went over to the famous Temple Street Night Market near Miu Kai for some FOOD & shopping! It was dark already at 5 something!
Photobucket

Street snacks anyone?
Photobucket

I find Temple Street a little dodgy! Seems to be older and not so proper... you know like those HK movies with gangster fight and all! haha!
Photobucket

The Temple Street Night Market!
Photobucket

We had dinner at the restaurant called Mido Cafe that appreared in one of the FOOD review magazines and decided to give it a try. It's an old style HK restaurant. As you can see below, the hot tea is NOT for drinking but to wash your eating utensils... a tradition @ HK!
Photobucket

The weird looking sauce that came with the noodles...
Photobucket

Their milk tea was not niceeeeeee :(
Photobucket

But their fried crispy noodles with pork fillet was darn good. This dish was recommended in the book! A must try when you're there!

Photobucket

Next up would be more photos of Ocean Park the next day! Stay tune everyone and happy holidays! :)

Hong Kong Day 2 - The Peak & More FOOD! :)

Ok here comes the start of my Day 2 Hong Kong trip. We woke up for an early breakfast at Cafe de Coral. They have 100 over branches all around Hong Kong; very similar to the Kim Gary franchises you see around Malaysia. :P

What else? It's more Hong Kong food as usual! LOL! They offered a variety of breakfast sets, hence we picked randomly and let's see what we had... It was definitely a darn good breakfast to kick start our day! :)


Coffee is a must!!!!!! LOL! :)
Photobucket

I had their tuna & ham cheese combo sandwich!
Photobucket

He had the soup vermicelli with pork! This was good and the soup was darn tasty! yum yum! Perfect for the cold weather!
Photobucket

Another set we ordered to share. They are famous for its fried pork fillet! It was really good and crispy! Guess the pork was coated with flour and then deep fried!
Photobucket

After a sumptuous breakfast, we boarded the MTR and headed to visit The Peak - a tourist attraction at Hong Kong. Took a bus and then a tram to visit the peak! long journey really.. :P
Photobucket

Waiting for the bus @ tamar street!
Photobucket

We got bored hence more camwhoring sessions... lol!
Photobucket

It was darn crowded in the morning!
Photobucket

At the peak, another attraction would be the wax museum - Madame Tussauds
Photobucket

It takes approx 10 minutes for the tram to reach the peak...
Photobucket
Photobucket

Hong Kong - Woman Street, Lan Kwai Fong and more FOOD!

Here are more photos as usual. The weekend is coming to an end soon and it's a start of a brand new week again tomorrow. How time flies and I'll be off to Bangkok in less than 2 weeks time. To think of it, I have not recovered from my hectic trip yet, still feeling so tired. :P

Anyhow here is the continuation of my trip on Day 1 during the evening where we visited the famous "Lui Yan Kai" a.k.a Woman Street at Mong Kok and also Lan Kwai Fong & Soho later in the night!

Photobucket

Photobucket

After dinner we decided to pay Lan Kwai Fong a visit! This reminds me of the famous Telawi street @ Bangsar with lots of pubs and bars around to chill and have a couple of drinks!
Photobucket

Wooo decos for the new year 2008 was up everywhere!
Photobucket
Photobucket

That's me posing under the signage! LOL!

Photobucket

That's about it. Stay tune for more. Next up would be more photos from Day 2!

We boarded the 630 am flight from LCCT via air asia to Macau. We reached around 10 something and boarded the 11 am ferry to Hong Kong! I am darn excited! :P

I'm back and Happy New Year 2008!!!!!!!!

Hi peeps!!!! I'm finally back from a 5 days 4 nights trip to Hong Kong. To sum it all up, we walked till our legs broke, ate like there was no tomorrow and of course the shopping spree we had around the busy streets of Hong Kong.

I definitely added a couple of inches to my waist as we ate from morning till night from breakfast to morning tea to lunch to afternoon tea and dinner! Gosh! It was all in all a very hectic trip and a very satisfying one. Guess we conquered the major cities of Hong Kong like Mong Kok, Causeway Bay, Tsim Tsa Tsui, Happy Valley, Yau Ma Tei and etc! :)

Stay tune for more photos soon. I'm still very exhausted from the trip! Will be back to work tomorrow!!! :)


Happy New Year 2008 to all!

Hope you had a blast celebration.....


Here are some random photos from Hong Kong... I promise there will be more to come :)
