I caught a coach up to KL over the weekend to spend time with my buddies. The ride took 2 hours from Melaka and cost RM9-40 one way. May Cy, my ex-colleague and good friend was kind enough to pick me from Puduraya bus stop. From there, we proceeded to Jalan Imbi for its famous Beef Hor Fun. It was still as good as memory serves me except that the portion was incredibly big for two girls.
Next day, we went to watch Music and Lyrics at GSC Mid Valley. It was quite enjoyable as it brought back memories of the 80s pop era. After the movie, we spent 4 hours shopping. We then went to a friend's house in Desa Parkcity and ogled at her 6 week old boy. Had Klang Bak Kut Teh for dinner and later chilled out at a pub called Sanctuary at the Curve.
We had 4 CNY open houses to visit on Saturday. Our first stop was at Sue's. Her mum made us roti jala, curry chicken and stir fried satay pork. It was the best I ever tasted! Then we went to Millie's and had more food. I enjoyed her mum's nasi pulut and yam cake. Our third stop was at Christopher's, who was my manager when I was working with United Overseas Bank. He had a housewarming/CNY dinner party with over 100 guests. The dinner spread was plentiful and the caterers roasted a whole lamb in the garden. No doubt, the highlight of the dinner was the lamb. It was also great reuniting with all my ex-colleagues, although I was asked the same few cliche questions over and over again. Last stop for the night was at Alex's place in Taman Desa. It was a sweet nostalgic experience as Taman Desa was where I stayed for 7 years while working in KL.
Sunday was more laid back. Visited Jacsmyn at her new condominium in Seri Maya. Ai Leen and William were there too. Ai Leen looked cute with her baby bump. She's due to deliver anytime. Later in the evening, May Cy, her mum, Siew Yin and I went for dinner at Vietnam Kitchen in 1-Utama. Siew Yin gave me a pair of self made earrings which looked funky. Thanks babe! We then watched Lady Iron Chef. Didn't enjoy the movie as it was rather silly and childish. Was hoping to watch them cook up a storm of exquisite dishes but got none of those. Proceeded on to a mamak stall in SS2. Had roti tisu, was impressed with the length and size of it.
We pampered ourselves with facial treatment on Monday. My face felt very smooth and clean afterwards. Went to PJ State for lunch as I wanted to have my favourite pork noodle. The stall owner still remembered me and knew what I wanted without me having to walk up to him to place my order. Super VIP service! After lunch, I went to my old work place to say hi. Got held there for an hour but it was worthwhile as I got to catch up with everyone. We then went to Subang Jaya as May Cy wanted to get a new mobile phone. I did some shopping and bought a jacket from Blook. Soon it was time to pack up and say goodbye to KL. We were stuck in the jam for over an hour but made it in time for dinner at Jalan Silang Beef Ball Noodle House and to catch my 8:30pm bus home to Melaka. I enjoyed my KL trip very much and have to thank May Cy for being such a good host. She took Friday and Monday off from work just to entertain me. I'm so lucky to have such a good friend. Thanks May Cy! Will miss you. Till we meet again... :)
