Malaysia Kuala Lumpur And Malacca 25/8 – 29/8/2010 Day 4

Arenaa De Luxe Hotel cafe area

Our fourth day into this Malaysia vacation, we met our new friend, Lucy, in the lobby of Arenaa De Luxe hotel, a beautifully furnished Malacca boutique hotel at 0900 hrs for breakfast.

This morning, we decided to have dim sum for breakfast at Low Yong Moh Restaurant near Jonker Street. Heading to Jalan Tukang Emas, we stopped by the dim sum shop directly opposite the mosque.

Open from 0600 hrs, this place can be packed and finding a table to sit at may be a challenge. As such, be prepared to wait for a table before you can sit down and enjoy the great tasting breakfast dim sum.

Order from the many varieties of dim sum available. Most will make your mouth water and salivate as not only do they look nice and dainty, they also taste super yummy. It was a wonderful breakfast and cost RM54 (USD17.40) for the five of us which is a very reasonable price for breakfast dim sum.

After a slow and most enjoyable dim sum breakfast, we returned to the hotel before making our way back up north to Kuala Lumpur once again for a warrior gathering organized by Success Resources. It took us about 2 hours to drive from Malacca to Cititel Hotel in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

We had a wonderful time connecting with other warriors and non-warriors though the turnout was small. However even with the poor turnout, we managed to make some awesome connections as well as re-connections.

After spending the whole afternoon at the warrior gathering, we spent a little time walking and shopping in MidValley Megamall before heading to Seremban for the special authentic marmite crabs.

At Seremban Seafood Village, we ordered 2 large crabs, sambal kangkong (water spinach fried with chilli), sambal sotong (cuttlefish fried with chilli) and pork ribs. Needless to say, we enjoyed the food here once again and it was a great dinner. Moreover, it set us back by RM122 which is a reasonable price considering we had 2 large crabs.

Taking our time to savour our crab dinner, we then drove back to our Malacca boutique hotel, Arenaa De Luxe Hotel, where we stayed another night.

Malaysia Kuala Lumpur And Malacca 25/8 – 29/8/2010

Leaving with my friends Lisa & Lionel to Kuala Lumpur on 25th Aug, we started the drive into Malaysia at 0800 hrs. Our main purpose for going into Malaysia this time round was to meet up with friends and have a ‘Get Real’ Evening tonight as well as tomorrow night.

Taking our time to get to Kuala Lumpur, we stopped by Machap Rest & Relaxation for breakfast. We love the Malay food here and we enjoyed the authentic Malaysian breakfast.

Going on, we stopped again at Ayer Keroh Rest & Relaxation just to stretch our legs before moving on to Kuala Lumpur. We made good timing and reached Kuala Lumpur Malaysia at 1300 hrs.

Since we were in Kuala Lumpur, we decided to visit Antswork Communications Showroom to check out some packaging materials and supplies. However, we could not locate the location on our Garmin Global Positioning System and had to call them for directions. We finally found their showroom; which was located in a condominium in Sri Petaling.

We checked out the café at Endah Puri to have lunch since the person with whom we had an appointment was having lunch. We tried some foods including the hokkien mee and loh shee fun, different versions of noodles which were not too bad and reasonably priced.

Next we went to Antswork and admired some of the uniquely designed boxes and discussed prices of some of the packaging designs which we were interested in.

After more than an hour there, we made our way to our Malaysia accommodation for the night, Blessings Homestay in Bangsar Park. Located within 10 minutes walking distance of Bangsar LRT station and 5 minutes drive to Mid Valley Mega Mall, Blessings Homestay is uniquely designed as a quiet and eco-sensitive home; built with a combination of recycled and modern materials.

After taking a short break there and freshening up, we made our way to Eco-Oasis café, 1km away from Blessings Homestay. Here, we would be meeting up with some of our warrior friends at 2000 hrs and having a Get Real evening, a session designed to show how one could gain more clarity in one’s life.

It was a wonderful meeting session and although the session ended at 2230 hrs, we did not leave till after midnight as one of our friends stayed behind to connect further.
