Tours Les Jours @ WOLO Hotel

Tours Les Jours is just one street away from our hotel. It is quite hard to miss as it is almost a whole building for this bakery shop. It is actually a French inspired Korean bakery! There is totally has no korean feel in this bakery shop lah..

What I love the most is their high ceiling and the full length windows which allows ample sunlight creating a comfortable ambiance for customers to just sit down and enjoy their freshly made bread anytime of the day. 

Tables and tables full of bread varieties. 

Everything looks so yummy lah!

I am not a bread person but this big spread of pastries was tingling my appetite! 

At night time...

K.T.Z Food 记得食

We took a cab from Bukit Bintang to SS2 which costed us about S$50. The cab was running as per meter so we were not sure if the driver took a longer route or we got chopped.

Anyway this restaurant goes a long way back from my first trip to KL with my bf's family. It was located near bukit bintang area but it was moved to SS2 where not very accessible without car. I love their honeydew loh and wasabi egg roll!

Watercress with honey. Very refreshing!

Chee cheong fun

Soft shell crab RM3.80. It looks like it is looking at you while you are eating it.

Wasabi egg roll. Misses!

Yeong chew fried rice RM7.80. Not bad~

Kiwi loh RM5.80

Honeydew loh RM5.80. My favorite dessert of the day!

They were just opened when we reached so there was not much crowd. The staffs there were very intrigued by me taking pictures of their food. Perhaps maybe I talked very loud too... lol

This was our last stop before we board the coach back to Singapore. We were wandering around Pavilion and we saw this japanese-like cafe. Bf was browsing through the menu and he saw his favorite sesame cheesecake on the menu. Unresistabily, we found ourselves sitting down already.

Mocha and green tea latte RM11 each

Sesame cheesecake

Blueberry cheesecake

Herbal pudding with mango

This has concluded my food trip to KL. Till next time~

(Part 2) Malaysia - Penang 槟城 : Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion + Peranakan Mansion + Street art

Penang trip Jan 2013

We walked quite a far bit in this trip so please prepare a good walking shoes if you would like to experience the heritages places and houses. Also, spam alot of sunscreen on yourselves and bring along your sunglasses or umbrella. Hot hot hot weather.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion is also known as Blue Mansion due to its exterior colour of the building. You may want to visit this mansion at specific timings (11am, 1.30pm and 3pm) when tour is provided to understand more about the history. This mansion has won many awards for its very well preserved architecture. One of the awards is UNESCO 'Most Excellent' Heritage Conservation Award. If you are a person who loves cultural stuff, you should totally check this out!

Cheong Fatt Tze was a prominent Chinese figure (basically a very very rich man) who built this mansion to house nine generations of his descendants. Rich and very fortunate man. 

Though many furniture were destroyed during World War II, a group of Penang conservationists worked very hard with Artisans and master craftsmen to use original materials to rebuild the house to its former glory.  Many furniture were shipped from as far as Scotland.

Pinang Peranakan Mansion

You must not missed this Peranakan Mansion in Penang.

Today, this mansion showcases the lavish lifestyle of the Peranakans (the Baba and the Nyonya), their cultures/traditions and even displaying many antiques and collectibles of this unique community.

You can guess how rich they were by looking at the material they used for on their doors.

Street art

Street art is one of the highlights in Penang! I love this part the most! Only managed to visit the below. When I go back to Penang again, I would want to see all the street arts!

Trishaw man

Kungfu girl 

Boy on chair

Kids on bicycle

For the street arts location, you may want to go to HERE to see all the pictures and locations before you plan your walking. 

When I googled about the street art designer, then I realised that Singapore has 2 street art done by him!

Check his web out HERE and see where in Singapore you can spot his work!

Then bf saw his favourite and asked me take a picture for him. If you look carefully, there is no back part of the bicycle. 

Perak is just a bridge away from Penang. Other than taking the bridge, cars can be shipped using ferry between Perak and Penang with passangers on it! So cool~ my grandma stays in Perak.

 This is another ferry fetching cars to Penang

 Our timing was so good to catch sunset

Good bye Penang~ 

Thanks Jovene and Eugene for your photo contribution..
