Sunday Brunch at PS Cafe (Feb/2/2013)

Darrin and I have been recently trying new dining experience more often in Singapore, as we may leave this country much sooner than we thought.   During last Chinese New Year, we went down to China Town for our Sunday brunch.

Fancy Chinese New Year Deco  

We could tell easily somebody made a huge effort to make China Town look more attractive with a magnificent festive mood.

On the way to the Restaurant

We walked by the conservation area where it has most of the original architecture in town. 

PS Cafe

#02-02. 45 Ann Siang Road

Ever since Julie had introduced this restaurant, we procrastinated on visiting here for so long due to its inconvenient location which is not easy access from our place.   All dishes we ordered were great and it was absolutely worth trying despite inconvenience to get there.

Roast Chicken with Grilled Veggies

Troffle Shoestring fries

Rested and relaxed with the newspaper

Hustle and bustle China-town Street Market

One of the biggest attractions for both local residences and tourists alike. 

With our old friends in KL

Guen-hye visited to Kuala Lumpur from China while Darrin and I were there.  It's been so long since we met her a couple of years ago.  She was so bubbly and chatty as usual, which was great!  We had a delightful lunch at Dragon-i Restaurant, Pavilion.

The dishes we ordered

Afternoon Tea at TWG

Dinner with Jeeva's family at Chili, Bangsr Shopping Centre

We met Jeeva's family for the first time in about two years.  Many things have been changed in his family for such a short period time.  As Sathia's mom all of sudden passed away last year, her dad inevitably left his old house in Lucky Garden to stay with his daughter's family.  Baradin entered one of the colleges in San Diego, US, which he just finished the first semester of his freshman year.  Priyanka recently got a driving licence so that she seemed so proud of herself to become a self-driver.  Lastly, to my surprise, Navin grew into a polite and well-behaved big boy.  A mischievous little boy was nowhere to be seen.

Dinner with Andy's family (26/Dec/2013)

Back to Suria KLCC

Lunch at Madam Kwan KLCC branch

We shopped at the mall during day time.  In the evening we left our bags and headed out to Pantai Seafood restaurant for dinner.   

As we arrived at the restaurant first, we're patiently waiting for Andy's family.

With Gawye (Andy's last son) and Galow (Andy's third son)

Wow, it's almost ten years ago!!

 Gawye, Galow and me during Penag trip in Malaysia

They are not little boys anymore, even much bigger than me now.  (^▽^;)

With Andy and Cynthia

We ordered many dishes to share, including fresh raw oysters which is my favorite.  Food was awesome here as usual.  I will NEVER get tired of it! 

After a big supper 

Time to say "Good bye".

Arrived in Kuala Lumpur (25/Dec/2013)

Darrin and I flew to Kuala Lumpur for enjoying year-end holiday. 

City view from the room at Double Tree by Hilton

Add:  The Intermark 348 Jln Razak, Kuala Lumpur

We checked in Double Tree by Hilton conveniently located in the heart of the city. 

Complimentary warm chocolate chip cookies 

We were unexpectedly greeted with the signature warm cookies in the check-in counter.  So tasty they were! ♥♥

Welcoming fruit basket and Christmas stocking

The room was more than expected and the customer service was wonderful.  We were so glad to find a greater place to stay in KL. ＼(^0^*)/

It's been so long since we've been up here.  We had the grilled beef with lots of side dishes.
