A much needed shut-down. Joe & I went off to KL, Malaysia for some down time. We met up with friends, had great conversations and good food. I went to get my usual RM7 haircut (it took 1 hour to cut my already short hair but it was worth it), bought some backdated magazines for RM5, got a fancy manicure/pedicure at Soong Ai Ling’s nail spa (RM100 but with the exchange rate, still much cheaper than Singapore) and just chilled out.
That's all I brought. A pink NIKE backpack and my handbag.
Our first meal in KL. Some roast meat/noodle shop in front of Plaza Low Yat
Jumbo Queen beauty contest advert I saw in a lift in Sungei Wang
We stayed at the Royale Bintang in Changkat Bukit Bintang. Good except for some aircon problem
Bak Kut Teh at PJ Old Town. The dishes multiplied shortly after this was taken.
Food & friends!
After BKT, we headed to Kelvin's place for more drinks & chat. Lovely verandah
Kelvin & his gf Lee Kuen (sp?) have a lovely apartment. We sat talking till the wee hours. ❤
Gerai Ah Kow. Aidil brought us to the most fabulous crispy Sesame Chicken Rice stall
Joe & Aidil discussing film & music
There's a MJ style drink on the menu, yo!
Off to Bangsar Village! Joe went to Andrew's shop & I went for a mani/pedi
So pampered. Soong Ai Ling actually did come by to chat with 2 other customers. I was half asleep
Joe Kidd & Joe Ng discussing film & music
And we went off to Joe Kidd's Indie RICECOOKER shop before dinner
Best satay in Bangsar. Drinks at Ronnie Q's with April, Lee Kuen, Kelvin, Andrew & Daryl
Nasi campur and super delicious Ikan Bakar. Thanks Aidil!
Possibly my 4th time here. They catch the catfish themselves & barbecue it fresh at the stall. DELISH
My last meal in KL was in a non-descript zinc & wood shack in the middle of a carpark. AWESOME
And yes, that was my brief holiday. Food & friends and food & friends.
