[makan & Shopping] Madam Kwan's + Bai Wei Xuan

Image
Baby and I went back to Subang Jaya, Selangor again to pick up 'Jazzy' from Uncle Mike's place as 'Jazzy' was kept at the workshop for servicing. We purchased a pair of 1-way tickets from Tiger Airways at SGD117 for the 2 of us. We were happy that 'Jazzy' is back with us again! Without 'Jazzy' for a week, it was really painful for us, especially for Baby, as he stays very far away from his work place.     We re-visited Madam Kwan's after a year of hiatus at Empire Shopping Gallery (ESG). Baby misses her signature Nasi Bojari so we decided to drive to ESG i/o our usual haunt, Sunway Pyramid. In case, you didn't know, there is a  Madam Kwan's in Singapore, but we have never dined there before as the prices stated in the menu here are exactly the same price in Singapore. In short, it is the currency that makes the difference! Madam Kwan's is well known for her Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine.     Baby fulf...

Weekend trip to Sunway Pyramid

Image
My weekend getaway to KL again! Upon reaching Subang Jaya, after a long drive from Singapore, we headed down to our favorite shopping/makan destination, Sunway Pyramid . We went to our all-time favorite food haunt, Pu Tien for our lunch. Our MUST-ORDER entrée is the Sweet and Sour Pork with Lychee , and each bite of the delectable meat tasted delicious. Hing Hwa Bee Hoon is their signature dish, and the portion is big enough to fill our stomachs! We ordered something different from our usual orders, and we had Beancurd with Minced Meat Sauce in Claypot. It tasted pretty decent, and I love the minced meat gravy very much.    The damage was RM77 (SGD28-ish) after tax. There is no way we could have got so much dishes for such pricing in Singapore's Pu Tien. There was a Cadbury Marvellous Creation Carnival at Sunway Pyramid when we were there, and we saw the opening ceremony of the event.  ...

[United States holiday] 9/11 Memorial + Wall Street

Image
This post begins with my trip down to the  9/11 Memorial , as well as famous Wall Street, in New York City .       Baby insisted on going to the 9/11 Memorial , near the One World Trade Center . He warned me that it would be a solemn affair, and to brace myself for a very sombre atmosphere. As everyone knows, the 9/11 terrorist attacks on Manhattan resulted in the destruction of the Twin Towers that left more than 2900 victims dead. We went to pay our respects to the victims of this tragedy.   To get there, just take the E-LINE bound subway to the World Trade Center (WTC).     The 9/11 Memorial at WTC, in NYC is to honor and remember the victims of the September 11 attacks.       It was an experience that I will never forget, as I saw first-hand the site of where this tragic event unfolded and changed the world forever.       ...
