Selamat Hari Raya

i doubt there’s any Malay readers, yet so long this blog wasn’t updated. Most of them prolly forgot this blog anyway.

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya!!

Oh, and for those who wanted to try the IKEA buffet, you can start looking for another choice of restaurant cos the line ends at the staircase to the ikea entrance.

Will not have time to update often as.. life changed, takes turn, and yeah, things like that. Wish list will be changed too. Those interested in giving some as token of appreciation can start saving up for it now.

Restaurant The Bird

Situated at Bandar Menjalara this restaurant is surprisingly easy to find considering that i’ll usually get lost in Kepong area.

From LDP (towards kepong) make a U-turn after the RM1 toll and turn left at Bandar Menjalara. You’ll meet a roundabout (there there’s a HUGE Desa Park City sign). Take 12 o’clock and take the first left turn. Go straight all the way, and The Bird is on your left.

Now as most of you will think why THE BIRD. Well, the decoration of the restaurants it’s antique style. Very much like blue lotus in Bukit Bintang. And all of the lamps are in bird nest stylo. Maybe the other meaning is the owner likes ‘Bird’? You got to see for yourself.

Serving ‘seddddddap’ nyonya food, what i liked there best was the BUTTER CHICKEN. Took the SET for 2 that came with chicken, fish vege + dessert, and it cost total of RM40 incl. 3 Ampula Juice (confirm nice).

There’s other fav dish like the Bird Nest Mee and they serve Sarawak Laksa too. Am going back there for the laksa very very soon.

Southern Visit

Filler post before i continue with the I- Survived – Bangkok – Trip.Spent my weekend JB & 6 hours in S’pore. (6 hours including putting about 2 hours on customs & public transport) Surprisingly something in S’pore is cheaper than JB after conversion. So.. shop wisely!! After some endless shopping in JB, we swim over to S’pore & here’s a outcome of 3 1/2 hours in Bugis alone.

1. Got myself 120 pcs of 4X6 glossy photo paper for $12.80
2. Got a Kappa sweater with my fav country embossed.
3. And ridiculous it might seen, the K800i screen protector. (well it’s not available here yet)
4. Toys (hey dun think somewhere else)
5. A coin purse
6. Pocket Ashtray. Now this is something useful. I’ve seen Louis Koo used once and since then i’ve been looking for it. And i found it 4 years later. Someone got to stop me from doing shopping till 2010!!!  

And back to JB, here’s some nice (but not so romantic) eating places in Permas Jaya. Masuk kampung roads (don’t take your lowered car to JB, really), the restaurants are facing Singapore, above the ‘river’ malay type, and very nice nasi lemak (+ the attitude problem).

 

Nothing much to shop but i found a levi’s engineered jeans. One that look like slacks. And some magical aroma stones that discard the ash smell on your ashtray. Nice!

Guide to SG, drive your car to City Sq JB and find a car park. Walk to opposite bus station. Go to the departure hall, get your passport scanned and head to the bus terminal. (as you can see ‘Causeway Link’ & ‘SBS Transit’.

Get ready your coins ( in RM) and depends on where you want to go, pay according to amt. Remember to look out for the bus number (CW1, CW2 etc) – for me i chose the nearest MRT so it’s Kranji (MRT) and it’s 90 cents per person. When reaching SG customs, fill a form and walk to Mr. Kastam*.
After you done the x-ray thing, now, it’s time to chase the bus. If u missed it no worries, you can always wait for the next bus. Just follow the sign above those barriers to the correct bus. Tada.. you are in Singkapoh.

*somehow we met the same Mr. Kastam on our way back and he recognised us. Smiling, he said, are you the one that went to Bugis? Yeah!, and see what i bought… (showing se* toys)
