Traveling Back to the 1930s for Lunch...










Today's lunch venue has gotta be a very nostalgic one. :))) Sheau Wen, Lin & I traveled backed to the 1930s for lunch... :) 

I was googling for a nice bistro/cafe around KWS where Sheau Wen was scheduled to have her physiotherapy this afternoon. There must be more to this area for our dear friend than physiotherapy! I'm glad I found a few spots we could try! Yeah! :D

My Garmin navigator took us to the other side of Jalan Bersar. Humph...I got off my car, left Lin & Sheau Wen in it, and went searching for Kam Leng Hotel where Suprette was located. It's on the right side of Jalan Bersar! Not left! :))) 

Suprette serves American inspired food. That explains the serving size... *.*










Sheau Wen had peppermint tea to go with her Cheese on Toast. Lin & I had the Suprette Burger & coke. :) We can skip burgers for MONTHS now! Totally overwhelmed.

Tina's the Birthday Girl! :)




























Tina's the b'day girl! We celebrated a day earlier as she had to fly off to Changmai for biz trip on Sunday. Somehow her name's Tuna on the b'day cake??? :))) 

Happy & Blessed B'day Tina dearest! Thank you for being an A-star friend. Our lives are brighten because of you. May love, joy & laughter surround you all year round!




























I was secretly hoping & plotting we would celebrate her b'day at some Korean restaurant but the b'day girl chose Japanese... And so Japanese cuisine it was, at Itacho sushi. :)))

Sat Playtime! :)










It wasn't a melodious Sat but we enjoyed watching Ivan playing on a charming, powder blue and woody baby grand piano. :) His dad picked up violin for a while but gave up. Will he be more musically inclined than his dad? Perhaps. :)

Ivan's definition of fun is very simple. :) Dumping coloured balls into a bright purple octopus with multi-coloured shoes is fun. Simply pushing a red truck around is fun too! :D












It's awesome this buddy has a soft spot for little animals. :) He stroked & kissed the toy rabbit very, very gently. :)))







Our sat afternoon is further sweeten by desserts from BlackBall. :) Lin & I love the 3Q Cranberry & Lemon Tea with black pearls while Adelene is able to down 2 tubs of BlackBall Signature (melted grass jelly with YamQ, Golden Sweet Potato, yam balls, sweet potato balls, red beans & pearls) on her own! :)))

All-Day Breakfast :)










Despite knowing the importance of breakfast, I do not take mine regularly. :) I had mine today though, cos Wendy wanted to do brunch at Wild Honey. :)))

We started our meal with a refreshing Queen Bee (passion fruit juice, elderflower & honey) & Wild Forest Tea. :)




























The serving size of the breakfast resembles to those in SF...huge.

It's impossible to resist Egg Benedict, known as European on Wild Honey's menu. :)))




























For the full works, go for the English Breakfast! :))) I love the brioche & managed to finish two slices...:) Totally stuffed...

Precious Monday Afternoon with Ivan :)












Lin and I worked over Sunday just so we could spend some time with Ivan at ION today. :) He couldn't sit still! :)))

After checking out Crate & Barrel, Proof Living, Red Valentino & Giuseppe Zanotti, we did tea at TWG. :)









Everything looked good baby! :)))





















Ivan's treat! ;)))

Sat with Ivan










Lin & I couldn't resist buying this Ikea's breakfast set for Ivan! :) We were thrilled by the streaky bacon & sunny side-up. Alas, godson wasn't fascinated at all... *.* 

That aside, we had fun trying out four types of laksa from Laksania, which cousin packed home for Sat brunch. Each of us has our obvious fav:
Cousin - Sarawak laksa
Adelene - Penang laksa
Lin - Kelantan laksa
Li - Singapore laksa











Godson can't walk without us supporting him but that doesn't deter him from climbing the stairs! :D

A Welcoming Home Dinner at a Zi Char Stall










Yayi's back from Hamburg for a three-weeks vacation and we did a family dinner at Goldplus, a zi char stall. His absence for a year or so affected the senior folks and all attention was on him this evening. Lin & I didn't bother asking how he was or what he had been doing because he would have repeated his stories umpteen times. My cousin needs a voice recorder... :)

Lin & I just savored the dishes presented before us:

Deep Fried Sotong Paste












Salted Egg Pork & Stir-Fry Nai Bai












Chilli Crabs & Cereal Prawns








Seafood Hor Fun & KL Noodles

A Spicy Celebration for 大姨 :)





























How do you spice up a birthday celebration? :) We did it at Mai Thai Restaurant...less than 10 mins drive from home. ;)

Big aunty was the b'day gal! :D

The 5 of us savored 10 dishes in total:
Thai Fishcakes and Tom Yum Goong (spicy...)












Green Curry Chicken (my fav), Mai Thai Beef Panaeng and Grilled Pork










Pineapple Rice, Pad Thai













Basil Tofu, Boiled Veg (with dip that rendered Lin & big aunt speechless & mom tearing) and Mango Sticky Rice








Our palettes & lips were exploding by the end of the dinner...

Something chilled & sweet would be greatly appreciated...and we hopped next door to get an Awfully Chocolate cake for Big aunt. ;)

Big aunty has been showering Lin & I with love & support from as young as we can remember. And she dotes on Koka too! Praise God for this blessings. :)













Koka should have kissed the b'day gal instead! :)))
