Bali Day 3

Finally continuing my Bali journey day 3 :shy:   :shy:  Procrastinator for life yo. Final day in Ubud and it’s time to venture deeper into the northern side of Bali before ending our day at Febris Hotel and Spa Kuta. I’m trying out this new plugin where the photos are group toget

#1 Tegallalang Rice Terrace – this was really a touch and go stop as it was drizzling all the time. For me, I’ve seen these sort of plantation few times along the highway JKT-Bandung.

#2 Very persistent sales girl… 1dollar..1dollar..postcard..1dollar…cheeseee


# 3 The Mother Temple of Besakih which is magnificent. So many pagoda

#4 some corn and coconut snack that Gisele bought. Yummy!

#5 Babi Guling at the ever famous Ibu Oka. The original one sold out by the time we were there so we had the crispy skin instead which was delicious. I would love to have it again. *look past my shoulder and you’ll see interesting souvenirs”

#6 Absolutely one of my tourist spot by far in Bali, Uluwatu. I think the view here are breathtaking.

#7 Uluwatu and spoiled, fat monkeys comes hand in hand.

#8 The monkeys are damn naughty and cheeky too! They’ll stalk and steal/snatch anything possible from you in exchange for a snack.

We witnessed a stubborn Japanese handphone been thrown around like a rag doll. Haha!

#9 Indulged in a little touristy activity. Kecak kecak kecak kecak dance. Watching the tradition against the cliff and the temple as a background. Couldn’t be better

#10 Our rooms at Febris’s for around RM200 with very yummy american breakfast. We purposely wake up to whack the breakfast and goes back to sleep…

#11 Mr Rai, Best guide in Bali. He speaks fluent English and German, very knowledgeable and friendly! Reasonably rates and he doesnt charge extra when we pass the 8hours mark. Since he’s a member of the photography club in bali, obviously he can bring you to the best spot to take photos and help take good photos for memories!  I remember the times when I’m in europe where friendly old gentlemen will offer to take “masterpiece/magnificent/perfecto” photos and turns out to be super blur =__=||

My friends and me strongly recommend him to anyone! You can book him at http://balipersonaltour.com/

The next 2 days in Bali are spend in Kuta filled with excitement on the streets and tales to be told for a long time..

- Tanjong Sepat – Sepang Gold Coast –

Confession: Sometimes i have too many toy cameras, I tend to neglect some! OH! So sorry!!

Last weekend, my friends decided to be adventurous and we started to drive few hours towards Sepang Gold Coast.

Our top priority for any road trip needless to say would be to fill our tummies!! No matter where!

First stop: Famous Pau Shop in Tanjong Sepat. Hai Yew Heng. The town ain’t big at all. You’ll deff find it.

Old Dame hand-making the infamous pau while watching Astro..

Some uncle before us bought like 100 pau of the same flava? o_O We see them pushing few trays out within the few minutes we are there. RM2 per pau.. can you count how much they are earning per day.. $_$

You see all the auntie and uncles came by bus load hoarding in front of the pau shop buying pau. Because pau seems like the only famous and THING to see/buy here.

After we had bought some of our paus, we head over to a nearby jetty to feast. Not much photos, busy eating. Most of the finer images you see in this blog was taken by Duckie.

This is raw from Lx3. Unedited using the Dynamic Black & White.. I think it’s quite nice but then again, it’s my opinion only.. :p

Lepak at some restaurant.

After that we went to Sepang Gold Coast only to get denied entry for not being a guest (reasonable) So we lepak at the beach next to the water chalet for about an hour before we got chased away by the guards again. This time not reasonable because he just picked on us. The other people loitering around was not being picked on. Reason? We are blocking the view of the patrons.. Duhh…

The said patrons are sitting above the patio. hmm.

One of my favorite photo of the entire day. Thanks Duckie! MrSmallface look so cheeky… :))

I look like a lollipop here… Round face and non proportioned upper body.

Tired after prancing around so I just squat there for the rest of the time while the guys continue on snapping away.

By 7pm, everyone was famished again! We went back to Lover’s Bridge, Ocen Seafood for dinner and it was so packed. Waited and waited.. until we had a table and the storm just threw a huge fit!

We were like eating while soaking our feet in a pail -__-

Everything was not bad, the famous oyster fried egg was bigger than my palm. Haha! The clams in beer sauce was great and couldn’t remember the other dishes as we were eating in fear the whole place would just crash into the sea.

Did i not mention the restaurant was built on stilt above waters -__-

So gonna be a busy week. Actually halfway through, and I’ve already pulled my head bald already with the craziness at work.

Have a good week ya’ll!

Soul Kitchen, Muntri Street

Hey, hey, hey
Hey soul sister, ain’t that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain’t fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don’t want to miss a single thing you do…tonight

Few weekends ago, on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon, me and Mr.Smallface decided to try out this new place which I’ve read about while blog hopping.

sOul Kitchen at the end of muntri street, nearing Cititel Hotel Penang Road.

I don’t think it’s hard to find as the place is to colorful to miss :)

For this post, i tried to edit all of the photos so less words maybe?  haha~ Don’t think it’s any nicer hmm.. The food pictures are unedited, just added in the frame and caption. Raw from LX3, rooarr :D

I ♥ this kind of small cafe.

Menus on the wall for all to see. No angry customer waiting for menus.

I bet Kimmie and Raye will love it too~! Yogurt Muesli served here for Kim!

Banana Orange Smoothie and Iced Cafe Latte, RM7 each. Size: ikea glass hahaha.. The place is filled with the nice aroma from the coffee machine that’s placed next to the counter.

They have the “open kitchen” concept here. No curtain or whatnots to block our view from watching chefs at work.

I had the Grilled Sandwich with Gammon Ham and sweet onion sauce. Very generous fillings and cheeseee! ♥ ♥ ♥

MrSmallFace’s Pasta which is the most expensive of the lot, RM19. Yet this dish would be highly recommended by me! Chickens bites are tender, pasta al dente, diced tomatoes with a zing of lemon taste overall. YUMS!

Salami Pizza to share, RM10. This is so-so. Had better.

To top off all the above which has been polished clean from the plates, we ordered the tiramisu cake, Rm10, which I read about as well.

True, it does not disappoint! For the soft type of Tiramisu, I think Ritz Bakery finally had a rival in Penang for the top placing.

Soul Kitchen; no harm giving it a try when you want to break the Penang Food Chain norm.. :) As for myself, I will be back for its Penne Pasta and definitely the tiramisu!

To end this post, I’ll just share a recent photo of myself :) This is the first and might very well be the last image you will see me with contact lenses. I’m so vain at times. Haiz.. -__-

I must be one of those few people that the opticians would had love to slap if they have the authority to do so T_T Thank you aunties at Chan Kong Chan for your 1+ hr patience with me. I can’t help but blink :(  I still fail at wearing the lenses ever since ……

Kota Kinabalu – Part 1

In July, during world cup final week, me and mrsmallface Airasia our way to kota kinabalu. Our maiden trip to East Malaysia and there IS really a different from here.

First of all, we need to keep the visa issued upon arrival and present it before departure. Valid for 3 months. What was that about 1Ma..? huh? Get the basic right first okay?

After much research on accommodation, we settled for this quaint little boutique style hotel near Gaya Street – Eden54. It’s run by the owner herself therefore, you’ll be expecting the cream of the cake terms of service. It actually has all the basic stuff you will need in a room where you just sleep in. Clean, comfortable bed and nice tv. Do a quick check on tripadvisor if you like to know more or just look at the website. You’ll find almost all the info you need.

We rented a kancil for RM100 per day to drive around. Most of the places of interests are actually located out of KK. Do come prepared with a reliable GPS. The things we noticed is, the locals are really easy-going lots. They aren’t that calculative :D very good *like*

Picked up CousinTing near her rented house and went straight to eat! What else!

Had this funky green milk tea – also known as Teh C Special. The last green layer still remains an unknown substance 0_O  However, it’s nice! something you must try when you are in Sabah, you know? like Penang = Char Koay Teow  -_-

Also, we tried the local dish which is something like Wan Tan Mee but it is called kampao mee instead. The soup is herbal base, not soy sauce hehe. It’s actually nice.

After filling our tummies to the brim, we went to visit the UMS campus and 1BORNEO before proceeding on our adventurous journey to find Lokkawi Wildlife Park. It took us longer because “someone” choose not to trust the gps *dark face*

Entrance fee @ RM10/pax for local.

Remember to join in the Animal Show, i think at 3pm daily. It was actually entertaining and surprisingly good for local zoo. haha! Like watching CousinTing losing to an Orang Utan.. hahaha!

Just to share some funny animals shots.

Lazy wildcat.

Obscene Orang Utan

proboscis monkey..is it even spell this way? It look so funny with the flat nose!!!

Some beautiful visitors to the Park.

And 2 boring human :P

Stay tune for the next post on one of the best seafood deal in KK !!

One Fullerton

Was in Singapore few weeks ago with Mr.Smallface

We were suppose to reach city center by 10pm but.. (there’s always a stupid but) the queue to verify our passport was so bloody long.

Since it’s like the first touristy visit for me to Singapore, my twin (not biologically, just same birth-date) and super sweet girlfriend already had in mind a few places where I die die also must go..take a couple of photo..and go.. hehe

All photos by Lx3 without tripod..power..

Coincidently, we were all wearing striking colorful tops!

Which seems to match the beaming pillar near the walk or something.

See if you are able to spot a ghost.
