Travelling Ving is back!
This KL short trip actually happened before the recent Hong Kong trip.

We chose Hotel Capitol for its awesome location in Bukit Bintang area, plus with good room rates.
(It’s located just next to Sungei Wang Shopping Centre and Low Yat Plaza, and only a 5-minute walk to Berjaya Times Square, Pavilion, and the Monorail station.)

First meal in KL was at U-Village Hong Kong Restaurant, situated just across our hotel.
Address: LB – R1, Sungei Wang Plaza, Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100
Phone: (+03) 2148-9686
Their char siew is a must-try!
After a hearty lunch, shopping time!
First stop — Berjaya Times Square
Address: 1 Jalan Imbi  55100 Kuala Lumpur

许留山!
As usual, night snacks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 2’s lunch was at Delicious (there’s an outlet in Singapore’s Scotts Square).
Unfortunately, it wasn’t much of what the name suggests.
Address: Bangsar Village II, 2 Jalan Telawi 1  Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We decided to head elsewhere for desserts.
I’d read about this cafe called Antipodean Cafe with rather good reviews, hence gave it a shot.
Address: 20 Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur

Menu on the wall! They are known for their brunch items too.
Lemon Meringue Tart + Sticky Date Pudding. Both SEDAP…….
Bangsar Village is equivalent to our Holland Village, with many cafes/restaurants/bakeries/shop-houses/retail shops.
While exploring the area, we came across this rather cool multi-label boutique called Seethrough.
They carry mainly Asian designers’ stuff, with quite a number of Singapore designers too! (eg. my favorite local label Depression)
Address: 25-1 Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar

Ving bought this skulls-filled punk style pull-over from a Jakarta designer!
It’s a ‘lil too hot for Singapore’s weather though.
I can’t wait to wear it to cooler countries!
Jalan Alor for dinner! Many zi-char stalls for you to choose from.
Rise & shine for Day 3 of the trip!
Lunch was at one of my favorite restaurants in KL. Madam Kwan’s (Pavilion’s outlet)!!!
(This year they opened their very first overseas outlet in Vivo City!)
We actually saw Madam Kwan herself!!! *fangirl mode on*

Address: 168 Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur
Belachan. Rendang. Assam. *droolsss*
I’ve no idea what I was doing.
(That dessert’s from Madam Kwan’s, though.)
Shopping time!
I love toys/figurines, if you haven’t already noticed from my previous posts.
(Wait a minute. Have I mentioned about it in my previous posts? Ok whatever. I LOVE TOYS/FIGURINES. There… Now you know.)
I ended up getting this big Line plushie for free! Super cute!
(It’s still in its original box, at a corner of my room. Couldn’t bear to dirty it!)
Batman and Superman (in between the 2 adults) patrolling the city.
Getting ready for Justice League already?
(Pardon the super bad resolution.)
KLCC has this toilet which you’ll need to pay RM2 to enter.
Ving checked it out to see what’s so great about it.
Verdict: If that’s for RM2, Ion Orchard’s toilets can charge each human S$2 to enter.
Last dinner in KL at Kampachi!
Address:
We had the honour to try the King of Tea.
It’s so light, it felt like drinking plain water that’s slightly sweeter.
Real smooth down your throat.
This convenience store opposite our hotel sells past issues of magazines at really cheap prices, even when it’s just past a month.
As usual, I couldn’t resist.
Last meal in KL at U-Village HK Cafe! =(
Sky’s on fire.
Till next time!!! Can’t wait for my next overseas trip already!!!
When’s it gonna be???

Rise & shine for the last day of Ving’s Hong Kong trip!! =(
(You can check out Part 1 of the trip here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, and Part 4 here.)

For our last lunch in Hong Kong, we went to City Hall Maxim’s Palace for dimsum.
It’s one of the most famous dimsum restaurants in Hong Kong, and has an amazing view of Victoria Harbour.
So try to get window seats if you can!

Address: 1 Edinburgh Place, HK City Hall, 3/F, Central
Station : Central (Exit J3) / Admiralty (Exit B)
Hours : Mon-Sat 11am – 3pm; 530pm – 1130pm / Sun 9am – 3pm; 530pm – 1130pm
Contact: (852) 2521-1303
Me super love this flavorful steamed rice with fish slices.
The egg tarts were a ‘lil disappointing though.
I still very much prefer those traditional crust egg tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery, especially when they are hot from the oven.
You will get a sun rising behind you after eating it. (think cartoon/animation style)
Super sad I didn’t get to try them during this trip! >.<
(If you are interested, here’s the address.
Address: 35 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central
Station: Central (Exit D2)
Hours: Daily 730am – 9pm
Contact: (852) 2544-3475)

We did some last minute shopping at Central and Causeway Bay, before heading back to the hotel to pack them.
I know I know… It’s as if there are no instant noodles being sold back home right??
Time to head for the airport! =(
We went earlier to do a City Check-In at Hong Kong Station (it’s super awesome this idea), then head over to the airport for our last dinner in Hong Kong.

It’s Tsui Wah yet again!
Why do we not have Tsui Wah in Singapore???
It kinda beats all other Hong Kong cafes we have currently.
With some time to kill before boarding, I had to go over to one of my must-go places:
Magazines stand.
I couldn’t resist not getting any.
For the Hong Kong edition ones, they can cost at least 2.5 times cheaper than what they are being sold back home!
And I’m a fan of Milk Magazine!
I love magazines. I’ve got piles of them in my room.
My mum always says “If you can turn your magazines into cash, you’ll be filthy rich.”
I agree with her, totally.

Still enough time for a drink first before going in.
In case you would like to know, Starbucks’ drinks are generally about 25% cheaper than that in Singapore.
While we were about to go in, we happened to hear some young girls screaming and waving bye to someone who was already inside.
We later found out that it was actually the Korean girl group, After School (I only know Uee from that group).
Turned out they just had a fan-meeting session in Hong Kong.
We didn’t get to see them though after we went in (not that I’m interested haha =X).
If it had been 2NE1 instead, I might have broken Usain Bolt’s 100m World/Olympic records.

We were greeted by these very traditional Chinese displays while waiting at our departure gate to board the plane.
Kinda cool idea for passengers to kill time while waiting, and get to know more about Chinese customs/traditions.
I shall end my last part on this Hong Kong trip with a continuation of narcissism from the previous post.
Till next time!!!!! *throws confetti*
