Halong Bay

Cruising at Halong Bay for 2 days 1 night

A world heritage to the world, as of it's calmness sea and isles surrounding the bay

At peak season, the bay will have about 400 boats station here loaded full board of tourist

We were here at low peak season which is near to the monsoon season

So not really crowded much with the tourists 

 

Nice scenery, cool weather, a real rest and relax tour on boat.

Old Quarter Hanoi

 

Old Quarter is the place with streets packed with shops selling all kinds of goods,

each street named for its primary good or service.

Street of shoes, street of clothing, street of hardware, street of plastic bag...

And we stay at the street of plastic bag, Hanoi Old Town Hotel

 

Here, I see many locals on the bicycles or motorbikes, busy with their daily life

Traffic here is messy, you need to be careful while walk on the road.

 

The wiring of the power cables are here and there, forming a complicated route.

I guess while there's power failure with the power cable, they will only tap another wire in

 

Street foods are all around the area here, but it's not cheap.

A bowl of Pho (noodle) cost at least 40000 Dong which is RM6.40 to us

And this is just the street foods, which you will be sitting on a small stool near to the road and enjoying your food. However, some foods are nice and worth trying.  

 

Selling on bicycles are commonly found here

and the bicycle is loaded with lot of stuff

Salute the lady who has to move this bicycle loaded with lot of ceramic stuff 

Shops and houses here are with narrow width and high built up with at least 2-4 floors

And this formed the area with slim tall buildings everywhere

 

Old Quarter, a unique place in Vietnam

Good Foods at Kota Kinabalu

Everywhere we go, we won't stop hunting good foods

Haw Shyang, my friend from Sabah was telling me all kinds of good foods at KK

So we have managed to taste the local good foods there...

Yummy~

The first seafood dinner we have had once we reached KK city

This is the foodcourt with few stalls selling fresh seafood, located opposite Lavender Lodge

We picked one with offering 10% and free fruits platter for us

Dishes ordered weren't too bad

Like the fried rice with crab meat, and fried mee tuaran and Sabah vege

Mantis shrimp were delicious too!

Quite a pricey dinner for us, RM300+

Another recommended by blogger, Bak Kut Teh at Kwong Tung Chai Kopitiam

The Bak Kut Teh stall is opened at 4pm of the day

We were having this after our day out to the Sapi Island
Delicious Bak Kut Teh and Braised Pork Nuckle

Not too pricey, just reasonable as selling in the kopitiam 

This Laksa is one of the must try at KK

It's located behind the Le Meridian Hotel, Seng Heng Kopitiam

It's different from our asam laksa

It's like Sarawak Laksa, laksa soup with santan

serve with shrimp, selling at RM5.50 a bowl

Hawker foods at KK isn't cheap overall...

Yet, this is a bowl of delicious laksa 

Welcome Seafood, here I come again!

A famous seafood restaurant in KK

I patroned to this restaurant 2 yearrs back with my cousins at our last hiking trip

This time we came back this restaurant located at Asia City, near to Marina Court Promenade

Seafoods sold here are fresh, and with reasonable price, slightly cheaper than the one we have had at the food court... RM270+

Haw Shyang told me to try the fried dumpling at Taman Fo San

Somehow, we managed to hired a van to drive us around the city at the last day we at KK

And we found the Taman Fo San, as we were brought by Lai's friend to one of the shop at this taman to buy our dried sea cucumber... and we were glad to know the friendly boss of the shop... he is selling the greatest dried sea cucumber in Malaysia... he claimed that...

Well, come back to makan... since we were in Taman Fo San
So we managed to try the fried dumpling here.. and we discovered another great one...

the fried kuey teow...! It's so delicious! Chinese said it 火候十足

Fried dumpling RM0.70 per-piece while fried kuey teow at RM5.50 per-plate



It's a Beautiful Kota Kinabalu

My second time visited to Kota Kinabalu

It's a beautiful place you must visit... if you like nature...

Mountain, greenie farm, sun, sea beach

I love nature, nature is beautiful~

Mt Kinabalu hided behind the thick cloud...

A close contact with flora and fauna in the forest

Greenie farm with moo moo cow

Welcome to Desa Dairy Farm, Mersilau

I love much, clean beach + blue sky + crystal clear sea...

Sapi Island @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

Awesome sunset viewable from Marina Court Promenade

I have had a merry trip with my fantastic buddies

Personally, I love Kota Kinabalu

What I have did at February...

It has been long I didn't write here...

So, what I have did at February?

It's a pretty busy month for me, mainly on my works...

Yet, I have my personal activities on~

I have CNY open-house visit to Joanne's house

Meeting her lovely twin and we have had good times together

Andrea and Andrene, I miss both of you... especially Andrene

She is cute and cheerful~

Having CNY dinner with Bobo Club sisters...

We have the famous 'pun choy' at one of the famous restaurant at Puchong

Another CNY dinner with my group of old times buddies

Another great dinner we have had with great friends and laughters 

Went to Tian Hou Temple at the Chap Goh Mei

Prayed for a good blessing year for my family (both Liew & Chang)

and myself too...  

I have been busy helping brother to clean his new house

before he moved into his new house

I was like a maid to her... hahahaha...

In return, brother treated us yummy meal with big crab

Yum yum... what a delicious meal 

Having good tea time with Michelle at one of the weekend

Cathing up each other since she has back to KL from China

Having great time spending together, talk about anything in us 

The dessert is yummy, mango ice-cream with the pastry

This one was the voucher I bought online

A dine-in meal voucher at Blue Cow, Plaza Damas Sri Hartamas

for their famous big breakfast

This is truly a good deal I got for the voucher i have bought online

Big breakfast is big in portion, and is nice in taste except for the little bit salty with their bacon

Made myself a yummy breakfast at one of the weekend

It's a good enjoyment I love to have myself

And I remain the happy go lucky one

being contented, cheerful at all times...

Bye February... and welcome March 

I am glad

I am glad that I have numbers of good friends
I am glad that I have good siblings
I am glad that I have good mama
I am glad that I have good furkids
I am glad that I am who I am

Without them, I won't feel the happiness
Without them, I won't know that I am that important to them
Without them, I won't know that they are important to me
Without them, I won't know what is love to me

Thank you for being with me, I love you all!

Again, I felt it tonight at a good dinner with my good friend.
We shared a lot and we realised that we were supporting each other
I am glad~

Saga Hill Track

First time tracking at Saga Hill (a.k.a Ah Pak San)

A hill not far away from Pandan Indah, Cheras

Time to start practicing, for our Mt KK Climb April next year

This is a small hill, with 3 routes >> A, B or C

We took the Route C, which lead us to the hill top or waterfall

Yet we were heading to the hill top this time

Next time will be heading to the waterfall

Route C is the longer trail as compare to Route A and Route B

Route C is easier to track as compared to Route A

Why? As we descended via Route A

Route A is the trail with steep hill tracks

We ought to be careful and watch our step down the hill

We have made it to the hill top

There are few canopies setup up the hill top

Climbers were sitting at hill top rest area after the climb

We made it to the hill top, everyone was happy! 

 After the hill climb, we have our deliciou lunch at Ampang

for the famous yong tou fu there

Yummy and climb... yummy and climb

We all enjoy it!

Good Friend's Wedding

A delay post... It should be the Sept post~

Our good friend's wedding was at 11th Sept 2011

Congratulation to Alex and Alicia

We all were happy for you both

May both of you are blessed with wonderful marriage life

In Love Forever~

Yummylicious for the night took place at Noble House

This is one of the best wedding banquet in the city

I have been dining in this restaurant for few times

Everytime I dine in there, the dishes served were totally different each time
I would say the dishes served are unique and delicious

Yummy!

Tanjung Sepat Day Out

A day out to Tangjung Sepat with good friends for makan-makan & jalan jalan 

Started the journey at 8am, and reached the small town at almost 10am

That day was a day without sun-shine, so it's not too hot for us to walk around in the small town.

Tanjung Sepat famous spot - Lover's Bridge

 

No sunshine, only gray blueish sky

My good friends and me... great day out with them

 

Came to a shop selling coffee powder with their homemade blended coffee beans

The shop just next to the famous Pau Shop, Hai Yew Heng

The flour doughs for the Paus (Kind of Chinese Bun)

The famous one at Tanjung Sepat, Hai Yew Heng.

 

Visited to the outlet selling Ling Zi and other kinds of fungus/mushrooms

Yummy bak kut teh with seafoods, porks, and pepper soup with fish paste
That's our breakie, famous one in Tanjung Sepat, Yikee
We were con by an uncle when we're locating for this restaurant
Finally we found Yikee, and saw the uncle was sitting there having his bak kut teh
He even knotted his head to me when he saw me, I was so wondering and wanted to ask...
"Uncle, why con us to round and round the town to look for Yikee?" Why I wanna ask so, as the Yikee is opposite the location where we asked for direction of Yikee earlier with the uncle, piang~

Another reason we failed to look for Yikee, as was getting the address of Yikee from online wrongly.

It's located at Jalan Pasar, NOT Jalan Besar.
 

Before heading back to KL, we have the seafood lunch near to the Lover's Bridge

Yummy, fresh and was with a good reasonable price

Crab with mee-hoon, fried butter sotong, stir fried vege, fried soft bone fishes, Lala soup and Tofu soup, plus tea, all in with RM143 for 11 persons of us!

Happy ^.^
