A mini gathering @Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant

January 25, 2011 thammelissa 6 Comments

On last Saturday dated 22 January was exactly 1 year since we were in Taiwan. It was on 20 January 2010, since our trip to Taiwan together. If I’m not mistaken, on 22 January 2010, we were at LeoFoo Village right Ashley, Wanyi??

Wanting to remember these sweet memories we had, therefore we made a small anniversary dinner. Wanyi suggested to have Taiwan food. Apparently, Fong Lye is the Taiwan restaurant which came across our mind.

We were there at 6+pm. As usual, its always crowded especially on weekends.

We were given a number for a table of 6. Waited for about 10 minutes till our number was called.

While waiting for Andrew to come, everyone is so hardworking to study the menu.

menu with wide selection of food (with photos to explain)

1 whole page of drinks

seriously studying the menu

really a tough decision….

It took us about 15 minutes to decide. After the decision is made, there’s a pencil and paper for us to write our order and pass it to the waiter.

Lunch@ Little Penang Kafe

Wanting to have some Penang food even though you are not in Penang?

Little Penang Cafe would be a good choice. It has outlets over major shopping complexes in KL.

The business is quite good. Often sees a lot of patrons dining there.

For sure you can’t compare the price with hawker stalls. Here, you gotto pay a lil bit extra, but you can dine in a cosy environment.

CNY Deco @ Midvalley Megamall

January 18, 2011 thammelissa 8 Comments

Friends were wondering where have I been & what happened to me for not blogging recently. (Thanks for the concern). Well; so sorry peeps. Sorry for the silents over here the past few weeks. As I was busy with my work, my blogshop , Chinese New Year preparations, busy looking for house in Subang (calling up agents, making appointments, house viewing).

Its just 2 weeks towards Chinese New Year. On Sunday, I brought my family to Midvalley Megamall to do some CNY shopping & to feel the CNY atmosphere. We do know that Midvalley is good in festive deco. This year ‘s theme is ‘Lion Head’. Nevertheless it is usually crowded on weekends.

You may check their event list here:- CNY EVENTS

With every spending of RM138 (with HSBC credit card) & RM188 (for non-HSBC credit card) from specialty stores; entitled you a free set of angpao packet (a pack of 5 different designs) & free 3 hours parking.

Seeing people getting ready with new clothes, decorations, festive goods, could really make you feel CNY is just around the corner. 😉

Some photos I captured on the deco.

Look at the crowd @ Center Court
