Traffic Jam at Tanjong Malim

My sis took about 9 hours to reach Ipoh...
Normally the journey from Melaka to Ipoh will take about 5-6 hours...
I'm wondering why it take so long...
Until i saw this photo that spread around thru FB...
UNBELIEVABLE.
All the car stop at the road side due to they cant drive in to the R&R Tanjong Malim..


My bro-in-law do not expect the traffic will be so bad...
So he do not fill-up his petrol tank fully...
The slow traffic cause his car almost out of petrol..
So he stop by at the Petrol Station before the Tanjong Malim R&R...
But too bad, they don have petrol Ron 97 and they not allowed him to pump petrol RON95...
With 2 babies in the car, the worst traffic condition and the car that almost out of petrol..
Make him more panic...
Luckily his able to make refill petrol at the next R&R petrol station...

I think the petrol station owner should have more consideration during the festival season....

Happy Chinese New Year 2012

I wish everyone have a great & Prosperous Dragon Year !


Gong Hei Fatt Choi!

DainTi Hill

Shanghai weather is so cold now...
Sometime cold weather made people lazy to walk aroud and tends to feel hungry very fast...
So we had high tea at DainTi Hill after some walk inside the Super Brand Mall....

I get to know about DainTi Hill from a Taiwan show...
It talk about all the nice food in Taiwan...
When i saw the shop, definitely cant miss out to try their toast...

They actually selling others foods and dessert as well beside than the toast..
This is the salmon sushi that we ordered...
Quite special with a slice of mango inside the sushi...


We ordered the toast, it came with a free drink-- coffee!
My favourite drinks!


Here come the toast...

It have a wafer roll, a oreo cookies, 2 slices of banana, some white chocolate, a scoop of ice cream and filled with custard...

The waiter will help to cut it nicely before we taste it!

Here is it, after cut!

Shanghai Trip part 2

The next day... continued to walk around the Shanghai city...
At the "People's Square"...
Lots of tall buildings surrouding the park...

Then we went to " The Bund"

We walked to one of the old street...

And saw this noodle stall...

Lots of ppl eating there...

Since every1 is hungry, we took our lunch here...

I dont like meat...

so i can only go for this...

" Dan Dan Noodle"
Although it's just egg & vege, but for me it's super tasty having it in this cold weather...

We walked around at the backstreet after lunch..

Next, we went to "Lujiazui"

They got the biggest round about i ever see...

The Oriental Pearl Tower!

The Financial Centre...

And the "Super Brand Mall" or what they call in chinese "Zheng Da Guang Chang"

Lots of Shanghai ppl like to visit this mall...

Very crowded at the entrance...

The xmas deco inside the mall...

Cute doraemon replica...

Nobita & Shizuka also here!

The night view of the mall! Pretty right?

That's all for the Shanghai trip..

Shanghai Trip Part 1

First time being to Shanghai...
In a cold weather somemore...
Not much expectation from this trip as my perception to China is not so good after heard so many negative comment from other people...

But after come back from Shanghai...
I dont think it's that bad...
Somehow i like the city!

Here is the Nanjing road...
Lots of tall building, just the the Orchard Road in Singapore...

With my colleagues...

We walked along the Nanjing, look for anything nice that we can get...

It's quite a long walk actually, and we gave up at last...

Cause the weather so cold and we were so lazy to walk further...

So we decided to take the city sightseeing bus....
The ticket cost RMB30, which is about RM15, valid for 24 hours with unlimited rides...

It's very worth!

The bus! A bit like the "Panorama Bus" in Melaka...

It's double decker bus....

We sit at the open-air seat...

It's freaking cold!

We stopped at Yu Yuan Garden....

Visited the Old City God's Temple...

We took our lunch at the food court inside the Yu Yuan Garden..

See the "pau".... It's look weird with the straw right?

Haha... It's actually not "pau" that we eat normally...

It's the soup...

We ate the famous "xiao long pau"

Fried dunpling!

Sesame dim sum & "fried fish"... like tempura....

Chicken stick and the lotus leaf steam rice..

Fried crab..

Fried rice, steamed rice, pork & vege...

Frankly said, i cant get use the their food...

I'm not sure it's because of cold weather or the watever..

All the foods served not hot at all except the soup..

It's seems like we eating the leftover food...

After lunch, we hang out at Starbucks Coffee...

The most visited place during the Shanghai trip!

Sipping a hot coffee in a cold weather... it's so enjoyful!

Then, we walked around Yu Yuan Garden...

You can get a lot of nice things here...

It's a heaven for the ladies...

Where you can get a lots of accessories like earrings, necklace, brooches...etc

You can get souvenirs for fren and family from here as well..

We walked til night time...

Then back to Nanjing road...

Here were the night view at Nanjing Road...

I saw this restaurant, owned by the Taiwan artist - Barbie Hsu's husband...

It' great to have steamboat in the cold weather..

We went for 1 of the steamboat shop at Nanjing Road...

The sauces....

We ordered 3 types of sauce, but i only can remember 1.. the pepper sauce...

Steamboat soup...

One is the normal soup, another one is the super spicy soup with a lots of spices ....

The ingredients...

We had a great dinner!

That's all for part 1..
