Goodbye to KL

Time spent in KL was short but fun. Mackenzie, Jana and Taylor showed us around Chinatown and Central Market. We had a great lunch of various chicken salads at the Peter Hoe shop (lots of great items for decorating and furnishing a home plus a cafe). We did not get sick from the fresh veggies (whew, because we are craving fresh, raw food!).
We then went to G Tower. We wanted to go to the Bridge Bar, but I wasn’t wearing pants. They had a no shorts rule. Sorry girls. So then we went up to the rooftop bar. But they weren’t serving until 5pm. It was around 4. Instead of sitting there, we went back down to the lobby and enjoyed a few beers during their happy hours.

Funny aside: while waiting for the elevator, I saw this sign.

I started to sing that phrase to the tune of La Bamba. We had a laugh.

We ended up back at the rooftop bar (pic to come later). I finally had a Singapore Slider, the official drink of Singapore. It was ok. I like margaritas and beer better.

Dinner was at a great Indian restaurant. We ate off of palm leaves (it’s a plate and placemat all in one)! No pics from there :(, sorry.

The night was capped with a game of darts against Mackenzie and Taylor. They won, but only by a couple last minute bulls eyes. Good game, ladies.

And now we’re off to Thailand!

Ciao for now!

Our First Dinner

While half sleeping, we went out for our first dinner with Mackenzie, Taylor and Jana. A little charming place called Suzi’s. You know, right off the city street, alongside a hand car wash. Outdoor seating in plastic lawn chairs. But an extremely tasty fare! We indulged in 30 chicken-on-a-sticks with peanut sauce, fried rice, and warm pitas packed with melted cheese paired with a lentil sauce, a spicy sauce and a something else I can’t remember. One of the pitas had raisins inside. We washed it down with fresh lime juice. Despite the charming ambiance, there was free wifi which enabled us to book our bus coach from KL to Singapore. I write this while cruising down the highway/freeway/tollway in my cushy leather seat (more in the next blog).

P.S. – I was too tired to remember to photograph the food last night. Sorry!
