Cheras for some western food

On Tuesday, we decided to go to Cheras for western food. Again, another place where my parents took me to when I was a little kid, and then we never go there again, until now. I don't know what happen in between lol.

I know Cheras is really big, and I'm sorry I didn't get the name of the area :/ But anyway, there's like this whole row of western food restaurants which is quite cool. I've never seen anything like it before. And it's hard to choose which one to go to when there's so many!

Finally, we settled on this restaurant called Kaki Corner Cafe...



...because there were so many people.



Yeah my parents are like that - they opt for whichever restaurant which has the most people cuz they reckon the food will be good. -.-

My sister ordered brown sauce chicken. Looks nice huh? ^^



I ordered spicy ham chicken with cheese. I love spicy food! And cheese! Anyway, not often do I see western dishes with red hot chilli flakes. And the taste is great too :D



Then there's this cheese-baked rice. Yummm cheese again :P It's not bad but somehow I still feel the ones in Wong Kok Char Chan Teng are better :)



Yup, whole row packed with western restaurants. It's like in overseas :P







The food is nice, and Cheras might be a perfect alternative for western food if you'd like a change from all those expensive restaurants in shopping malls. It's good food for a good price (:

SEE FOOOOOD (seafood)

After spending the day at Putrajaya, we went straight on to Subang New Village (at around 5 something in the evening) for dinner.

Kwai Lam Seafood Restaurant is the place where my parents last went like 10 years ago with small little me, and they highly recommend this place for seafood. It's located further in from TUDM, Subang and you can spot the white sign along a row of seafood restaurants.

For people staying in Puchong, it is quite far given an average of 20-30 minutes' drive. But for me, (I drove from Puchong to Subang, yesterday) it took me about 45 minutes. T.T LOL.

You have to be there early, meaning from 5pm-6pm as people will start crowding the restaurant as early as 6pm. It's easier to secure a place for parking too, because there is limited parking space beside the restaurant. Unless you don't mind parking a distance away, it's still okay to come at 7pm.



The sea coconut + lemon drink is the way to go on a hot day! It's just so refreshing :D



Their Fried "Dong fun" or "Winter noodles" (when it is directly translated) is like the best one I've ever tried! It just makes me want to eat more and more :P



The portion is quite huge for one person. But I guess it'll be perfect for big-eaters! :D

"Kam heong" Lala next :D Soooooo tasty! Can't stop myself from sucking the sauce from the shells as I feel it's such a waste not to. The sauce is extremely salty - just by eating it like that, duh of course it will be xD



Then came the crab. We ordered the sweet and sour sauce flavour, however, I saw many tables having the butter cream one. Should be nice :) We requested for some "man tous" (soft white bread) to go with the sauce.



Mmmmmhm delicious~ :D



The last dish will be the sotong bakar (grilled squid)! Again, it's the best-est sotong bakar I've ever tried (: It tastes so well, and it's even better if you dip in chilli sauce.



All in all, we had a very satisfying meal. Thumbs up yo (Y)! The price is quite reasonable too. We went again yesterday, and ordered other dishes: Hokkien mee and fried chicken wings.

For me, the Hokkien mee tastes ordinary - it may vary according to different individuals because my mom said it's nice. The fried chicken wings is good and quite a number of people ordered that too.

Y'all should go and have a try! However, they are closed on Mondays. Warning you first to prevent disappointment ;)

A day in Putrajaya

My dad came back from Penang and was here for the holidays, so during the whole week he took us out to places and also to hunt for food! Which is like, my favourite hobby lol.

So after The Geographer Adventure (read my earlier posts), on Monday we went to Putrajaya and visited this hotel called Pullman Hotels & Resorts. My dad was the project manager (or something) for this project, so it's kind of like, he's involved in building this hotel (:

The hotel has a few cultural designs like, Malay, Chinese, Indian. It's quite cool.

A place for chillin' out. We came in through here not the lobby lol (:



Camwhoring already! -.-





We went up to the lobby, and explored the place.

The drinks bar is kinda cool! :P






I think this part is the Malay design.



Right right? The mini roofs are like the ones you see in Malay kampungs :P







Interesting designs. Very intricate too.



Moving on to the Chinese design. They're just next to each other actually.





It's like in the olden days during the Chinese emporers' time lol.















Looks familiar? It's the symbol that is usually associated with the Chinese palace in the olden days...



Moving on to.. I'm not sure what design is this. Heh. It looks.. Balinese? *shrug*



Me and sis were busy camwhoring only.. LOL :P











Back inside the hotel! We sort of sneaked up to the first floor..





And then we went out to the rooftop...



The sun was too hot, eyes cannot open :/



They have a rooftop swimming pool!! Arghhh it looks so fun! Oh and there was this "ang mo" aka foreign family playing catch in the pool and they were speaking in mandarin! Awww so cute.. :P







A bird's eye view of Putrajaya.. (:



The streets were really quiet - usually it already is, but since it is the Raya holidays, it was even quieter. (Y)



That's the Maritim Center with the Putrajaya bridge at the background.



Inside the gym. There were practically mirrors glued to every surface of the wall. They certainly make the gym look like there's no ending to it huh xD



After that, we went to Alamanda for a movie. We could have explored the whole place - it was huge - but we didn't have enough time as I wanted to catch The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

It was a great and awesome movie. The story was so moving that I teared up a couple of times. I want to download the movie OST :D

I think there's a small park outside Alamanda if you walk further down the pathway.. I love bamboo trees - they give a serene and relaxing feeling. So Japanese too :P



I remembered this poem "The Road Less Taken" by Robert Frost which we studied in Form 4. I love that poem so I edited this picture in remembrance of it hehe...



And I saw this advertisement which I thought was cute :P



Have you tried Saxbys' ginger beer? It's good. Real stuff there.
