Our Project - Laman Ceylon @ KL

We love interior design though both of us have never been studying or graduate in any interior design schools.

Hubby is the one who is on creative side and I m the one who will give my opinion whenever he saw something nice.

The owner  wanted to rent out their 2 bedrooms unit at Laman Ceylon and thus we were tasked to purchase all furniture and the necessities.

Starting with curtain design, material and color, we have engaged a curtain shop whose owner provided a good service hanging up, steam ironing and folded all the curtains so neatly that i do not think as a woman i can do better than him.

Being choosy type, we went to quite a number of shops to source for furniture and given a tight budget, we need to ensure the whole furnished condo will not cost owner a bomb.

Items for decoration and also placemat, table runner, to choose the right theme, color and size took us to a few shopping mall as we wanted something suitable to make the whole atmosphere simple and cosy yet stylish.

We prefer a cosy ambiance thus our color scheme is more to brown and grey.

The very first tenant was from France, working with luxury watches company. He was transfered out from the country barely less than a year of staying. The owner was lucky to have easily rent out the unit after the first tenant moved out. The next tenant a Canadian, is teaching in International School. And the current is a Datin from Sarrawak dealing with clothing retail.

We love the lobby of this condominium and is so convenient as lots of bar and restaurant just 5-10 minutes walk away.  Location wise is at town centre.

Pretz n' Beanz Cafe @ Solaris Mont Kiara

School holiday is here for 6 weeks, it was a Friday night and we have decided to go for dessert  after dinner at home.  Initially thought of going for ice cream at Haagen Daaz but ended up "lepaking" (do nothing) at Pretz n' Beanz Cafe.  

Our usual hang out nearer to us has always been Solaris Mont Kiara.  We were attracted to Pretzel as we walked pass Pretz n Beanz Cafe, so our venue plan changed immediately.

First we ordered two type of Pretzel but could not resist Waffle!  After finishing Pretzel, we ordered the yum Waffle. The milk shake here was good, thick and delicious just like the way we like it.  Another chill place for "lepaking".

The bill total to RM85.55 with 3 drinks.

Parmesan Pretzel RM6.90 & Hot Dog Pretzel RM10.90

Waffle with caramel butter RM17.90

Seafood Bah Kut Teh @ Klang

Talk about Bah Kut Teh (BKT) or Meat Bone Tea, normally you will think of Klang. But now this place has come up with Seafood Bah Kut Teh, try it out!

As my elder son never like prawn, we had it separated from the Seafood Claypot BKT.  We were there quite late for dinner maybe but it was only 8.30 pm, no more lala and they replaced with scallop.

Hubby had tried it out once with his business partner for lunch and had always wanted to take us there.  So one fine Sunday and since my two boys did not have to attend any class on the next day,  we drove all the way to Klang. Thumbs up for the creativity of seafood to go with BKT and we loved it.

Seafood Bah Kut Teh RM98

Dry Claypot BKT RM13 and Claypot Prawn BKT

We also tried their braised chicken feet but feedback from my mom, my cooking is better! Anyway, a small bowl of chicken feet cost RM10.

Total bill came out to RM139.70 for 5 person.

First World Hotel @ Genting Highlands

There are 5 hotels in Genting Highlands namely Awana Genting (4 Star), First World (3 star), Theme Park (3 star), Resort (4 star), Maxim and Genting Grand (5 star).  However as the outdoor theme park is closed for massive renovation, Theme Park Hotel is also closed.

I have stayed in all except Theme Park and Genting Grand. My son popped us a question why we never book Genting Grand? Must be the most expensive hotel here.

First World Hotel used to have 2 towers, additional tower 3 just launched this year.  And they are targeting to build by 2018 another 2 towers which going to be 5 star.

We have experienced staying at Tower 3 which they have two types of room i.e. XYZ Deluxe and XYZ Triple.  Still a small room similar to Deluxe, just that everything is new here.

I have tried their Standard, Deluxe and Superior Deluxe Room, if those with view are still alright but if you got a room with Courtyard, meaning your window is facing another room is definitely not comfy. Standard room is real small with not much space to walk around,  

XYZ Triple Room 

Better TV screen compared to Tower 1 & 2 Deluxe Room

View from our room

Separate toilet and shower

First World Hotel is suitable if you have children with you as Cineplex, Bowling Arcade, Indoor Theme Park are all here. 

Checking in and checking out is a breeze as it takes you less than 5 minutes through kiosk and the latter a few seconds.
