Holiday @ GENTING HIGHLANDS and KUALA LUMPUR


The last time we went up to Genting Highland, we drove all the way up but this time we parked our cars and took the cable car up to Genting.  What an experience!  There is one stage where we were engulfed by the mist, everything was white, it was heavenly like.





After check in, it was early dinner at First Wold Hotel food court. My choice was "Vg Kong Poh Chicken Rice".



After dinner and shopping etc. relaxing at Starbucks and met up with Por Huat.
Next day it was down to Kuala Lumpur.  After checking in at Citin Hotel in KL, met up with Lee TZ  and Singapore TZ and family for lunch at  Yuet Sum Hin Vegetarian Restaurant (the journey from the hotel to the restaurant took more than 45 minutes whereas during non-peak time I think would be about 10 to 15 minutes).


After lunch all of us walked to The Pavilion, in the vicinity,  it was as a Chinese saying "Ren Shan Ren Hai" so many people around, well one reason could be it was Saturday.


At Earth Kid Enterprise for dinner, organic, cooked the healthy way and wholesome food.

Also at Earth Kid Enterprise.  Group photo.  Celebrating.
The Pavilion with its Christmas decorations.

Clockwise from top left - 1) at i-City; 2) also at i-City; and 3) National Monument.
At Lee TZ's place enjoying different flavours of cheese cake bought from Beyond Veggie by Secret Recipe.


This trip in KL we went to several complexes/malls for shopping/window shopping, had great food (like Korean and organic food), visited i-City (traffic jammmmmmmmm), Lee TZ house and the National Monument.
A big thank you to Lee TZ and Tatha for their hospitality.

PUTU PIRING

Putu piring stall at Dato Kramat Road.  Opposite Shivan Temple.




The ingredients for making the putu piring are rice flour and water.  It comes in two shapes, saucer (therefore called 'putu piring') and oblong/cylinder (see photo below), and served with grated coconut and gula melaka (coconut palm sugar) or brown sugar.
