3 More WeeksTo Bali

It has been quite a while since i last updated my blog because so many things happened for the past few months and I was really depressed and busy. Anyway, it is just another 3 more weeks to my bali trip, WOOHOooo..... wanting to go with excitement, but yet with fear because of the H1N1 (Swine Flu). Singapore has more than 10 of such cases and I am soooo worried.... so, I am prepared to wear mask at the airport and on the plane. Better be safe than sorry. :)

My itinerary is not out yet, but I am thinking to go for snorkelling, surfing, volcano visiting, tanah lot and ubud bah... I have booked my hotel and will be staying at Sunset Residence in Legian. I shall update you guys again on my plan. Cheers! :)

Madam Kwan's Restaurant at Pavillion KL

When you get a chance to visit Pavillion at KL, do stop by at this very nice and authentic Malaysia food at Madam Kwan's Restaurant. Their signature dish, Nasi Lemak is one of the favourite by the locals and if you are a fan of Nasi Lemak, you shouldn't miss it!

Although it may be a bit pricey for local hawker food but I would not mind paying abit more for eating great food with better and classier ambience. :) This place will be quite crowded if you come around 7 plus to 8pm. The total cost for all the food listed below plus one beef rendang which i forgot to take picture, 2 beers and 1 softdrink was around 90+ RM.

Location: Pavillion, KL Basement.

Rating: 4 stars out of 5 stars

MUST TRY: Nasi Lemak, Nasi Bojari, Assam Prawns, Banana Fritters with Ice cream.

Nasi Lemak 14RM


Nasi Bojari 20RM



Assam Prawns

Fish & Chips 15RM (Not really very nice)

Banana Fritter 10RM

Ice Kacang 7RM

Bali, Here I Come!

I am sooooo happy that i got a very cheap deal from airasia. Anyway, I have booked a trip to bali from 2 July to 5 July. Although it is still a long way to go, i think it is so worth it for just only $50SGD per pax for the air tickets including of all the surcharge and taxes. The promotion will be valid from 24 Feb to 1 Mar 2009 and travelling period will be from 24 Mar 2009 to 31 Jan 2010.

For those of you who are interested to go bali, I think you should check out the air asia deal before the price change again. :)

Dorsett Regency Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Airasia was having a cheap promo to fly over to KL. I paid around $72 per pax for the air ticket. Since the deal was cheap, I decided to spend my Valentine's Day at Kuala Lumpur. Overall, I spent around $114(inclusive of hotel) for a 2 days 1 night stay at KL. My choice was this hotel, Dorsett Regency. This website http://www.sg.pyotravel.com/ was actually offering a night stay at Dorsett Regency for a promotion price at 84SGD which was quite reasonable.

I reached the hotel at around 11am. We were asked to check into our rooms about half hour later because the rooms were not ready. Anyway, the staffs were polite and friendly. They suggested us to walk around the shopping centres first which were just walking distance from the hotel. The new shopping centre, Pavillion and the well-known Sungei Wang were just around the corner, about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. We decided to go sungei wang for our lunch and shopping. We came back to the hotel at around 2pm and we were given rooms at 16th floor. This is my room at unit 1606.

The room was big and clean. Although they do not have ultimately new furnitures but everything was in well-conditioned. Like most hotels, they have what was needed in the room. Safebox, hair dryer, mini bar, etc.

This is a nice and comfy King Sized Bed.

A Flat Screened TV

The bathroom have shower gel, shampoo and hair conditioner. Toothbrushes will be available upon request. They also have a long bath tub.

Their facilities also include a gym and swimming pool. You do not have to worry about finding a decent restaurant because inside the hotel itself, they already have 3 restaurants. You can also find nearby restaurants at Marriot or Ritz Carlton. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and I would definitely list this hotel in my choice for my next visit to KL. :)

Highland Coffee at Ho Chin Minh

Many people say Vietnamese Coffee is a MUST TRY when you are there. As vietnam is the second largest coffee producer, they sell variety of coffee. You can find coffee powder almost everywhere. Although I am not really a coffee lover, but I do enjoy their Ice Blended coffee.

Since everybody was raving about Highland Coffee, I tried one nearby the hotel. It was along the stretch towards Dong Khoi area. I am not good in explaining the exact location, but it seems like you can find highland coffee almost everywhere because they have outlets mushrooming around the saigon. Another one that can be found was inside Saigon Tax Centre.

For a non coffee lover like me, I must say the coffee was really good, but their cakes was really Yucks!!! Have one recommend by the staff and they will tell you which coffee are popular.

The price of the coffee at Highland is not really cheap. It was around the price of starbucks in Singapore. Anyway, if the coffee is good, I would not mind.. :)

You can check out their website if you want to know more about Highland Coffee. http://www.highlandscoffee.com.vn/

Tutti Frutti Yogurt Saigon

If you would like to take a break after your shopping at Ben Thanh Market, you can cross over the road and head towards Tutti Frutti Yogurt Store. I am not quite sure it is opposite which gates of Ben Thanh Market, but their store is quite colorful and prominent.

This frozen yogurt store have so many flavors to choose, you decide the toppings, flavors and how much you want to eat and pay at the cashier. It wasn't really cheap or expensive, but if you are comparing with singapore, it is definitely cheaper. They do not charge by the cup size, they will charge by gram. If i don't remember wrongly, 100g was less than 2sgd.

Anyway, the yogurt tasted quite refreshing and nice. So, if you need a short break near ben thanh market, this would be a best place. At least, they have air conditioner inside. :)
