The Flamingo Hotel

The Flamingo

Flamingo Hotel, by the Lake in KL

(http://www.flamingo.com.my/indexkl.html)

I never stayed in this hotel before.. but my first time there was a good one.. located quite a distance away from city area, it gives that calm and close-to-nature ambience.. expecially when u take look outside your window aisle and see this beautiful lake.

28/05/2011 -  We were on our way to Kuantan when we made a stop-over in KL for a night. This hotel were chosen by my in-laws. They have always stayed in this Flamingo Hotel whenever they went to KL, so I was told. We were greeted with the warm serenity of nature upon our arrival. The facade of the hotel is very colonial and it does gives u this warmth..

The rooms were clean and they do have room for "solat" and since this is not a five star rating, well u have to iron your own clothes and they have this room allocated for ironing. Oh the rooms does not comes with ironing board, all have to be done in the "ironing room". The bathroom could have been a lil bigger. Its pretty small.. and its far from spacious. Still the bathroom comes clean. Thankfully.. hehehe..

They do have call-cabs services for this hotel.. unlike many other hotels in KL, when we use this "call-cab services", these cab drivers would end up touting, but not for this hotel. They only charged us additional RM3 on top of the meter fare. Good enough.. Generally if u hailed a cab within the city area in KL, u are bound to get tout by the cab drivers... No offence but I guess thats how life in KL is..

Had our dinner in Chillis, KLCC. As usual, being a popular choice for the locals and foreigners, there is a wait time before we could get our seats. I guess not all of us could get use to waiting especially when comes to restaurants... its supposed to be better than those "warungs". This time our wait time was longer as we requires more seats. (There is about 9 of us, if I am not mistaken) To me, for something good as Chillis, I didnt mind the wait.. cause I really love the food there.

 Unfortunately, we only have a night there and  I would say I did have a pleasant stay. Could be better though.. I mean I still love my stay in Maya. Whoopss.. pardon me, I just have to compare my stay!! I have stayed in many hotels in KL but Flamingo is overall pleasant but not really the best..yet! :) 

Sambal Telur

Tonight I tried a new dish.. Well I know it may be easy for most of u out there but... however... and... or.. oh well.. It was for me too!! LOL.. Never really had a cookbook next to me, I decided to just go-with-the-flow!! Thank God I didnt end up burning the entire kitchen!!

I remembered reading the recipe somewhere and I manage to have the ingredients in my head.. the rest is all about estimation.. or what malays usually called, "agak-agak"! :p
Ingredients:

Dried Chillies
Onions
Garlics (I like them more.. so more for me!!)
a lil Belacan (gosh what was it in English?)
cooking Oil (of course!!)
and... lastly and definitely.. The eggs!! Oh ya... I forgot about this air asam jawa.!!

Outcome: It came a lil too spicy and as per my husband.. "acceptable to his taste buds"... well I didnt say I am cooking for everyone eh... :)

One of those days

One of those days..

I am sooo not in the mood for shopping...

Not in the mood for travelling...

Not in the mood for, I think, almost everything... Work?? oh pls.. dont start!! I can give 1001 curse on work..

Its just soo tiring the past few days.. and guess what..I aimed to finish my "Sutera Bidadari" by one week after I started reading it.. and loook... LOOK!!!! Its been more than that!!! Gosh!!!! I am way behind schedule!!! To some out there, they have already know the ending of this novel while I am still like just a quarter away from the BEGINING!!! Huuuuuuuwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~!!!!!

Manners

I remembered when I was young, my mom would tell me to keep ourselves clean and she would ensure that we were living in a good hygeine environment. When either one of us is sick, she would tell us to cover our mouth when we cough or sneeze be in public or at home. This is to ensure that other wont get the same virus.

Now, I see many old folks.. generally old folks would actually violate this manners. Many times I saw them cough so bad "happily" without even covering their mouth!! Gosh I really cant stand them.. It is so annoying.. They are such a selfish idiots!

Sutera Bidadari - Finally

Yes yes yes!! Finally I got it.. Finally its mine!!

The latest book released, authored by my favourite writer, Ramlee Awang Murshid.... "Sutera Bidadari".. Got mine @ MPH, City Square, JB. Left with few pieces on the shelf, I made a quick grab before its gone!! Gosh I guess I am not the only one waiting for this book..

Gosh I cant wait to read this book.. till then my blogging will have to be put on hold.. whoops.. see ya once I am done with Sutera Bidadari..

Siam Kitchen Dinner

Siam Kitchen Dinner
Location: Siam Kitchen @ City Square Mall , Singapore.

Eversince they opened this new mall @ Serangoon.. Located just opposite of Mustafa Centre, its pretty easy to get by to this eco-friendly mall.. u can choose to alight @ Farrer Road station (NEL Line) or take a bus. There is a number of buses that will bring u to City Square mall.

So its time to "pigged" in.. With 16 different dish served in buffet style..I would say Siam Kitchen sure knows how to limit their food before others start to waste it away.. Just like Seoul Garden..

We ate like 3 round of food.. I could only last two.. yet that was not with the pineapple rice. Only the Dishes!! We ate to our hearts content til its about time to go back.. Oh I managed to peek at the lastest sale in Metro with few colleagues.. Nothing much..

Its another weekend tomorrow and I just couldnt wait what my husband has in store for us..

Friday 13th

Friday 13th

Ok I have a question!! Why is Friday 13th is consider bad luck day? When friday is known to be

Friday the 13th occurs when the thirteenth day of a month falls on a Friday, which superstition holds to be a day of bad luck. In the Gregorian calendar, this day occurs at least once, but at most three times a year. Any month's 13th day will fall on a Friday if the month starts on a Sunday. - (Google that onw out.. but still it still do not explain why Friday the 13th is a bad luck day?

Can someone kindly enlighten me on this topic??????
